Another theme is the exploration of the ANBU world itself. These fanfictions often describe the dark and dangerous nature of the ANBU, the strict training, and the complex hierarchy. Sasuke's experience in this world is then contrasted with his relationship with Naruto, who represents a more positive and hopeful side of the Naruto universe.
One common theme is loyalty. Since ANBU is all about loyalty to the village, fanfics often explore how Sasuke and Naruto balance their loyalty to each other and to Konoha. Another theme is secrecy. They have to keep their ANBU missions and identities secret, which can create some tense and interesting situations in the stories.
One common theme is redemption. Sasuke, having had a troubled past, may find redemption through his work as an ANBU under Naruto's leadership as hokage. Another theme is friendship. Despite their past differences, they rekindle their friendship in many of these stories. Also, protection of the village is a big theme. Naruto as the hokage and Sasuke as an ANBU are both committed to safeguarding the village from all threats.
Another theme is self - discovery. Both Sasuke and Sakura are on a journey to find themselves in the ANBU. Sasuke might be trying to find his place after all his past traumas, and Sakura is trying to prove herself as a capable ANBU member. This exploration of their identities is often intertwined with their relationship development. In some fanfictions, Sakura's kindness and strength start to change Sasuke's view of himself and the world around him.
One common theme is teamwork. Since they are in the ANBU together, they need to work as a team. For example, in many fanfictions, Naruto's combat skills and Ino's mental abilities combine to overcome enemies.
Another theme is secrecy. Since vampires are not a normal part of the Naruto world, the Anbu vampire has to keep their true identity a secret. This leads to a lot of suspense and plot developments as they try to avoid being discovered. For example, in many fanfictions, they have to be careful not to show their fangs or use their vampire powers in front of others. Also, the theme of outcast is quite common. The Anbu vampire may feel like an outcast in the ninja world due to their unique nature, and this can create a lot of internal conflict and character growth.
One common theme is the struggle between duty and emotion. The Anbu are trained to be cold and efficient, but often the fanfictions explore their inner emotions that conflict with their duties. Another theme is secrecy. Since they are a secret organization, many fanfictions play around with the idea of hidden identities and secrets within the Anbu.
One common theme is the struggle for acceptance. Since the Anbu is a tough and often male - dominated group in Naruto, female characters in these fanfictions usually have to fight to be recognized. Another theme is self - discovery. As they face different missions and challenges, they learn more about themselves.
One common theme is leadership. Since Naruto is an ANBU commander, stories often explore how he leads his team, makes tough decisions, and earns the respect of his subordinates. Another theme is secrecy and mystery. The ANBU are a secretive organization, so fanfictions usually have elements of hidden agendas and unknown threats. Also, the theme of redemption can be present, as Naruto may try to redeem the ANBU's reputation or certain characters within the organization.
One common theme is loyalty. In the ANBU, loyalty to the village is of utmost importance. Fanfictions often explore how Naruto and Kakashi uphold or struggle with this loyalty. For example, they might face a situation where their loyalty to each other conflicts with their loyalty to the village.
Power and its control is also a big theme. The Kiri Anbu are powerful warriors, and when combined with Naruto's own power, fanfictions often explore how they use or misuse their powers. There are stories where they have to learn to control their combined strength to face a greater threat.
