Who are the best characters to include in a Naruto x Inari fanfic, aside from Naruto and Inari themselves?

One great Naruto Inari fanfic is 'The Bond of Konoha'. It focuses on the unique relationship between Naruto and Inari, showing how Inari grows under Naruto's influence. The story has great character development and some exciting action scenes.

Sakura could be a great addition. She could provide medical support during their adventures or offer her combat skills when needed. Kakashi would also be a good choice. His wisdom and experience could guide Naruto and Princess Yuki in difficult situations.

One common theme is friendship. Naruto and Inari's friendship is often explored, like how they support each other through tough times. Another theme is growth. Inari's growth as a person and a potential ninja is a popular focus.

I think Hinata would be an interesting character to include. She has her own unrequited love for Naruto. Her presence could add some drama to the story as she sees Naruto getting closer to Ahri. Another good character could be Jiraiya. His lecherous yet knowledgeable self could provide some comical relief and also give some sage advice to Naruto and Ahri when they need it.

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.

Naruto would be his usual determined self. He'd be curious about the goddess Inari and her powers. His loyalty and will to protect would also extend to her. As for Goddess Inari, she might be calm and wise, having knowledge of the spirit world that Naruto lacks. She could be a bit mysterious at first, but as the story progresses, she shows her kind heart.

One idea could be that Inari, inspired by Naruto's determination, decides to train hard and develop his own unique ninja skills. He could then join Naruto on a small mission in the Land of Waves and prove his worth. Another plot could be a time - travel plot where Naruto is sent back in time to when Inari was a child and he has to protect Inari and his mother from Gato's men in a different way, changing the course of history in the Land of Waves.

Pendergast would be an interesting character to include. His strict and by - the - book nature could contrast with Luci and Elfo's more laid - back and unorthodox ways. He might try to stop their adventures or get in their way, adding some tension to the story.

A mentor - mentee relationship could develop. Naruto has a lot of experience and skills, and Inari is young and eager to learn. Naruto could guide Inari in his ninja journey.

Obviously, Naruto would be one of the main characters. Since the title mentions he is blessed by Inari, he's central to the story.
