One great 'Naruto Time Travels Fanfiction' is 'A New Beginning'. In this story, Naruto travels back in time and uses his knowledge of the future to change things for the better. It has an interesting plot that keeps you hooked.
Well, one possibility is that Naruto might be really confused at first. He'd see this different version of himself as a female and might not immediately understand the situation. He could try to figure out how this time - travel happened and what it means for his world. Maybe he'd start to learn about the differences in how female Naruto is treated in this new world compared to his own experience as a male.
One creative idea is when Naruto travels back in time and has to train his younger self without revealing his true identity. This creates a lot of mystery and interesting training scenarios.
Another theme is self - discovery. By going back in time and seeing their past selves, they learn more about who they are and how they've changed. Naruto might realize how much he's grown in terms of his ninja skills and his relationships. They also understand their roles in the grand scheme of things better.
One idea could be that Sarada travels back in time and initially mistakes Naruto for Sasuke. This could lead to some humorous misunderstandings as she tries to interact with him. For example, she might challenge him to a fight thinking he's Sasuke, only to be completely surprised by Naruto's different fighting style and personality.
He'd probably be super surprised. I mean, seeing yourself as the opposite sex is not something that happens every day. He might blurt out something like 'Who are you? You look like me!' and then start to realize the situation. He could be a bit embarrassed too, especially if female Naruto had some different mannerisms or ways of dressing.
Jiraiya. Naruto could have a different kind of apprenticeship with Jiraiya. He could share some of his future experiences with Jiraiya, which might change how Jiraiya trains him and also how Jiraiya approaches his own missions and prophecies.
The relationship would become more complex. If Naruto time - travels, he might see Kakashi in a different light, as someone who was once young and inexperienced. Kakashi, on the other hand, would be intrigued by this strange kid with such advanced skills. They could become closer as friends, with Naruto sharing his future experiences and Kakashi guiding Naruto in the past world.
One interesting plot could be Naruto using his future knowledge to prevent the Uchiha massacre. He might try to change Itachi's situation and find a way to resolve the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village without all that bloodshed.
Naruto would adapt in several ways. Firstly, he'd use his ninja skills in new ways. For example, his speed and agility could be useful in modern jobs like delivery or security. Socially, he'd be curious about modern relationships and would quickly learn the norms. He'd also adapt to modern education systems if he decided to study, using his eagerness to learn. And he'd be fascinated by modern forms of entertainment like movies and video games.
