One possible plot could be that they meet at a young age during a shinobi training event. Since they are the same age, they might form a friendly rivalry. They could compete in various skills like ninjutsu or stealth. As they grow up, this rivalry might turn into a deep respect for each other's abilities.
In the original story, Naruto and Konan have very different paths and limited interaction. But if they were the same age, they might become friends early on. Maybe they would train together and influence each other's fighting styles. For example, Naruto could learn some of Konan's paper - based techniques, and Konan could be inspired by Naruto's never - give - up attitude.
In this fanfiction, Naruto may save Konan through his ability to understand and connect with people. Maybe Konan is in a psychological crisis, feeling lost or conflicted. Naruto, with his kind heart and his own experiences of overcoming hardships, talks to Konan. He gives her the strength and hope she needs to get out of her difficult situation. His words are like a life - saving jutsu, bringing Konan back from the brink and saving her in a very different, yet equally important way.
One possible scenario could be that Naruto and Mikoto grow up together in a different Konoha. They might become friends and train together. Naruto could learn a lot from Mikoto, who is from the Uchiha clan and has her own unique skills. Maybe they would be in the same class at the ninja academy, and Naruto's positive attitude would influence Mikoto as well.
If Naruto was the same age as Kakashi, the power dynamics would be very different. Naruto might be more skilled and mature from the start. He could have been part of the earlier battles against the Akatsuki. Also, his relationship with Sasuke might have a different flavor as they would be closer in age and experience. For example, they might be more like equals in their rivalry, rather than Naruto constantly chasing Sasuke's level of skill.
In some fanfictions, their relationship develops through a series of conversations. Naruto, being the talkative and empathetic person he is, tries to understand Konan's pain. Konan, initially guarded, slowly opens up to Naruto. As they share their dreams and fears, their bond becomes stronger. They might start to have feelings for each other that go beyond friendship, like a slow - burning romantic connection that is built on trust and understanding.
One key moment could be when Naruto jumps in front of a fatal attack aimed at Konan. His quick reflexes are crucial here. He takes the hit or deflects it using his own skills, like his shadow clone technique to create a distraction and then save Konan.
One great 'Naruto Konan fanfiction' is 'A New Path for Konan'. It shows Konan in a different light, exploring her character's potential in a post - war scenario.
In a fanfiction, Naruto could meet Tayuya and Konan in a unique setting, like an ancient, mysterious land. Naruto might be intrigued by Tayuya's combat skills and Konan's paper - like abilities. They could end up sharing their stories and goals. Tayuya could learn about Naruto's dream of becoming Hokage and be inspired in some way. Konan might see Naruto as a potential force for change in the ninja world and decide to support him in his future endeavors.
A good one is 'Naruto and Konan: Allies in the Shadows'. Here, they start as unlikely allies but gradually grow to trust and rely on each other. The fanfiction has some great fight scenes and also shows the development of their bond outside of combat situations.
