It could be a rogue ninja who was once a part of the Akatsuki but managed to escape before their downfall. He's been biding his time, growing stronger, and now he wants to take revenge on Naruto and the Hidden Leaf for what happened to the Akatsuki.
A powerful sorcerer from a far - off land could be the main antagonist. He has heard of Naruto's reputation and the power of the Hidden Leaf. He comes to the village with the intention of stealing all the chakra in the village to increase his own power. He views Naruto as the biggest obstacle in his way and thus targets him first.
Maybe an old rival of Naruto from his academy days who always felt overshadowed by him. Now that Naruto is the Seventh Hokage, this person decides to come back and try to ruin everything Naruto has built. He could have some new and dangerous powers that he's acquired during his time away.
A group of rogue ninjas from other clans who oppose the idea of the Hidden Leaf Village. They see the Shodai Hokage's leadership as a threat to their own power and freedom. They might team up and use underhanded tactics like assassinations, sabotage of the village's resources, and spreading false rumors to try and undermine the Shodai Hokage's authority. They could also form alliances with other enemies of the village, making them a formidable and complex antagonist group.
It could be someone who wants to expose Naruto's secret. Maybe a rogue ninja who wants to use this information to create chaos in the village by making the villagers doubt Naruto's intentions.
It could be a rogue ninja who was once a part of Konoha but was banished for unethical experiments. Now, with a thirst for revenge against Naruto and the village, he returns as a powerful and unpredictable foe.
It could be a rogue ninja from another village who has a vendetta against Konoha. Maybe he blames the Godaime Hokage for something that happened in the past, like the death of his family during a Konoha - related mission. So, he decides to target the village and the Godaime Hokage in particular.
Perhaps the main antagonist is a spirit or a curse that has been awakened. This curse could be slowly influencing the villagers to turn against Naruto. It could be something that was sealed away long ago and now has broken free due to some mistake or interference. The antagonist could also be a mastermind from another hidden village who is using spies and psychological warfare to undermine Naruto's rule as the Sixth Hokage.
Perhaps an old organization that was thought to be defeated resurfaces. They were biding their time while Naruto was hokage, and now that he's retired, they believe they can carry out their evil plans. They could be a group with a long - standing vendetta against Konoha and Naruto specifically. They might have new members or new powers that Naruto and his friends have to figure out how to counter.
One aspect that could be explored in Naruto Seventh Hokage cross - fanfiction is his leadership skills in new and unexpected situations. For example, he might be thrown into a parallel universe where the ninja world has different rules and he has to adapt his leadership style accordingly. Maybe in this universe, the villages are not as united as in his own, and he has to find ways to bring them together.
In fanfiction, Naruto as the Seventh Hokage might also face some personal growth challenges. He has achieved his childhood dream, but now he might feel a sense of emptiness or wonder what's next. Some fanfictions could explore his spiritual journey. Maybe he goes on a solo mission to find a deeper meaning in his life and his role as Hokage. Or he could be trying to bring about a new era of ninja technology in the village, using his influence to encourage innovation in areas like medical ninjutsu or new types of jutsu development.
It could be an older version of Orochimaru who has also found a way to time travel. He might try to change the past to his advantage, like getting rid of the Third Hokage before he can become a threat to his future plans. Orochimaru is always power - hungry and his older self could be even more dangerous with knowledge of the future.
A crossover with the Harry Potter world would be interesting. Naruto, as the Seventh Hokage, could visit Hogwarts. He might be confused by the magic there at first, but then start to find similarities between chakra and magic. He could even team up with Harry Potter to fight against a common enemy that threatens both the wizarding world and the ninja world.
