There's also 'The Bond of Enemies'. In this fanfic, Pain, after his defeat, is given a second chance at life by Naruto. It shows a really interesting dynamic as Pain tries to figure out his new place in the world with Naruto's influence. It has some great action scenes and emotional moments.
Jiraiya could be a great addition. Since he was Pain's teacher, his presence could add a lot of depth to the story. He could offer insights into Pain's past and also help Naruto understand Pain better.
You can also try Tumblr. There are many Naruto fanfiction blogs on Tumblr. Some of them might post or reblog 'Naruto x Pain Yaoi Fanfiction'. You can use the search function on Tumblr and look for relevant tags or keywords to find these fics.
One great 'Naruto x Pain Yaoi Fanfiction' is 'The Bond Beyond Battles'. It delves deep into the complex relationship between Naruto and Pain. It shows how their opposing views could gradually turn into a unique understanding and an unexpected bond. The story is well - written, with great character development and it keeps you hooked from start to finish.
One characteristic is the exploration of a non - traditional relationship. In the Naruto series, Pain and Naruto are enemies, but in Yaoi fanfiction, they become romantically involved, which completely changes the power dynamic and emotional interactions between them.
Obviously, Naruto and fem Pain are the main characters. Naruto, with his strong will and determination to protect his friends and the village. And fem Pain, who might have a different take on the Akatsuki's goals compared to the original Pain in the Naruto series.
Another good one is 'Shared Souls'. This fanfiction focuses on how Pain and Naruto might understand each other on a deeper level, with their souls being somewhat intertwined in a yaoi - inspired relationship. It has some beautifully written emotional scenes that really draw the reader in.
Friendship is also a big theme. Since they start as enemies, fanfictions like to show how they can develop a deep friendship. They might start to understand each other's past traumas and find common ground, leading to a strong bond that was not present in the original story.
One interesting plot could be a story where fem Pain has a change of heart due to Naruto's unwavering belief in peace. Maybe she starts to question the path of destruction she was once on and joins Naruto in his quest to bring harmony to the ninja world.
Maybe in the fanfiction, Naruto could somehow enter Pain's past through a special jutsu. By seeing Pain's tragic experiences firsthand, Naruto tries to change his view on the world and prevent him from becoming the villain he is in the original story. This would involve a lot of emotional exchanges and growth for both characters.
