One interesting concept could be the idea of a character in the Naruto universe who is an evil genius and how they manipulate the existing power structures. For example, they might use their intelligence to turn different ninja clans against each other for their own gain.
Orochimaru is another possibility. He is already somewhat of an evil genius in the original Naruto series. In a fanfiction, he could be further developed as the main character, perhaps with his experiments taking on even more extreme and far - reaching consequences. His actions and plans could be the central focus of the story, with other characters either trying to stop him or being caught up in his schemes.
Perhaps the fanfiction explores an alternate universe where Naruto is raised by an 'evil genius' figure. This could lead to him having a very different set of values and skills. He might be more ruthless in achieving his goals and use his intelligence to create new and powerful jutsus that are more self - serving rather than for the good of the village initially.
Well, Naruto is obviously one of the main characters. But there could also be other characters like Sasuke. Sasuke might be either an ally or an adversary to Naruto's 'evil genius' plans. He could be trying to stop Naruto if he thinks Naruto has gone too far into the 'evil' territory, or he could be working with Naruto for some mutual, albeit more self - interested, goals.
If Naruto was a genius in fanfiction, it could completely change the dynamics of the story. His growth and battles might be much different, and his relationships with other characters could also shift.
In Naruto fanfiction that focuses on the independent concept of good and evil, it often explores characters outside of their typical black - and - white portrayals in the original series. For example, some fanfictions might delve into the reasons why certain villains act the way they do, showing that their actions could be a result of a complex web of circumstances rather than pure evil. This allows for a more in - depth understanding of the Naruto universe.
In some fanfictions, a prodigy is an orphan with no known clan but has an innate ability to understand and copy any jutsu instantly. This character then has to hide their power at first because they are afraid of being used. As the story progresses, they learn to master their power and become a key figure in protecting the village from a new, powerful enemy.
Sasuke is often a popular character in such fanfictions. Writers like to expand on his already prodigious skills and take his character in new directions. For example, making him even more powerful in genjutsu and creating new techniques for him.
One common concept could be an 'evil Naruto' using his powers in unexpected and dark ways within the Naruto universe. For example, he might use his shadow clones for devious schemes instead of the usual helpful purposes.
