A common plot in such fanfictions is when Naruto shows more interest in his training and starts to neglect Ino and Sakura a bit. They then see other female ninjas showing admiration for Naruto's dedication. Ino and Sakura's jealousy might make them work harder in their own training to prove that they are just as good as Naruto. They might also try to use their own skills to win Naruto's attention back, like Ino using her mind - transfer jutsu in a creative way to get into Naruto's thoughts and Sakura using her medical ninjutsu to help Naruto when he gets injured during training, all while being secretly jealous of each other.
A plot could be that Sakura discovers that Ino has a crush on Naruto. Sakura, who also has feelings for Naruto, becomes extremely jealous.

Naruto is caught in the middle, not fully understanding why his two friends are acting so strangely. This could lead to a series of misunderstandings and reconciliations as the story unfolds.
Well, a plot could involve a training arc. Naruto, Ino and Sakura are sent to train under a new sensei. During the training, they discover new aspects of their abilities.

Or perhaps a plot where they get transported to an alternate universe where the roles in the village are all mixed up. Naruto could be in charge of the medical unit, Ino could be leading the combat forces and Sakura could be the one using mind - related jutsu.
One good example could be a fanfic where Naruto accidentally spends more time with Ino during a mission, and Sakura gets jealous. In the story, Sakura might start to question her own feelings for Naruto.

There are also fanfics where Naruto has to choose between Ino and Sakura, and the jealousy of the unchosen one drives the plot.

Also, there could be a plot where Naruto saves Ino and Sakura from a near - death experience, and this heroic act makes them see him in a new light and they all end up in a harem - style relationship.

One possible plot could be that Dark Naruto, with his newfound power and darker side, forms an unexpected alliance with Ino.

There might be a fanfiction where Ino and Sakura get into a time - travel adventure. They end up in the past, during the early days of the Hidden Leaf. There, they have to use their knowledge of modern jutsu and their wits to survive and also try not to change the future too much. They could meet the younger versions of their parents or other important characters.

A plotline could be about a mysterious enemy that targets them specifically. They have to combine their skills to figure out who the enemy is and how to defeat it. Naruto's strength, Sakura's intelligence, Ino's communication skills, and Hinata's perception are all needed.
