Many people like these fanfictions because they allow for more creative exploration. The OC can have different personalities and abilities, which can lead to unique interactions with Naruto and other characters from the Naruto universe. For example, an OC with healing powers might be able to heal Naruto's emotional wounds in a way that wasn't shown in the original series. Also, it can fill in some of the gaps in Naruto's childhood story, like what if he had a more stable family environment from the start.
There's also 'A Different Kind of Adoption in Konoha'. This fic focuses on an OC with a unique backstory who decides to adopt Naruto. The story delves into the OC's motives and how their relationship with Naruto evolves over time. It's quite interesting as it shows Naruto experiencing a more nurturing environment early on.
Redemption is a common theme. Since Tom Riddle later becomes Voldemort, many fanfictions with an oc adopting him focus on whether he can be redeemed through the love and care of the oc. Another theme is the power of family. The oc often tries to create a family - like environment for Tom, which is something he lacks in the original story.
Love and acceptance are huge themes too. Harry has been through so much, and in these fanfictions, the oc shows him unconditional love and acceptance. It's not just about giving him a home, but also about accepting his flaws and his destiny. The oc often has to fight against the prejudices of the wizarding world to keep Harry safe and loved, which adds an interesting layer to the story.
The 'ino adopts naruto fanfiction' could center around the idea of family and friendship. Ino, by adopting Naruto, creates a new kind of bond. It could delve into how the village reacts to this new situation. There might be challenges they face together, such as dealing with Naruto's reputation or Ino having to balance her own life and responsibilities with taking care of Naruto. It could also be a story full of heartwarming moments as they build a family - like relationship.
In some fanfictions where Sakura adopts Naruto, it could be about Sakura seeing Naruto's need for a family. Maybe she decides to take him in after realizing how alone he has been. This can lead to a lot of character development for both of them. Naruto might start to heal from his past traumas, and Sakura could grow into a more nurturing figure.
The theme of growth is very common. All three characters - Naruto (the adopter), Naruto (the younger self) and Sasuke - experience personal growth. They learn from each other, share their skills and knowledge. For example, Naruto might teach Sasuke some new jutsu, while the younger Naruto learns about the importance of friendship from Sasuke. This mutual growth is what makes these fanfictions interesting.
The child could be an orphan from a small, destroyed village that Naruto comes across during one of his missions. This child might have lost their family to a powerful enemy and Naruto feels a sense of responsibility to take them in.
There's also 'Adopting the Dark Lord'. In this fanfiction, the oc is from a different magical family and takes Tom under their wing. The story delves deep into the Hogwarts era of Tom Riddle and how the oc's influence might change his future. It has some great character development and a lot of plot twists.
There's also 'The Adopted Savior'. It's a fanfiction where the oc is from a different magical world and adopts Harry Potter. It's really cool because it combines elements from different magical cultures. The oc brings in new spells and ways of thinking that change Harry's perspective.
