Maybe Harry Potter goes to Africa to study some unique magic that only exists there. He could encounter new magical creatures and make friends with African wizards.
Insufficient local knowledge could also be the reason. Not understanding the local context, social structures, and existing resources might result in ineffective or inappropriate assistance.
Harry could meet some local magical creatures that are unique to Africa. For example, there could be a magical creature similar to a hippogriff but with different characteristics. And he may also meet African witches who are experts in herbal magic, which they use to heal and protect their communities. They could teach Harry some of their techniques and knowledge.
Maki in fanfiction usually has a fierce loyalty to her friends, especially Yuta. She is the type to fight for what she believes in. Yuta is sometimes portrayed as being a bit naive in the ways of the world outside his own small circle, but his pure heart makes him endearing. In many stories, their different personalities create an interesting dynamic, like in a story where Maki's boldness gets them into a risky situation and Yuta's calm thinking gets them out.
Well, one way this could work in a fanfiction is that Naruto could use Yuta's powers to enhance his combat abilities. Yuta has some really unique and powerful cursed energy techniques. Naruto might be able to combine his chakra with Yuta's powers, like using the Rasengan with Yuta's cursed energy for a super - powered attack. It could make for some really interesting battles against tough opponents like Madara or Kaguya.
