A plot could involve Naruto as a genin finding a sealed scroll left by Kushina. Inside the scroll are messages and techniques from her. As he deciphers the scroll, he begins to understand her better. He might struggle at first with the techniques but with the help of his friends, he masters them. This would show his growth as a ninja and his connection to his mother's legacy.
Maybe in the fanfic, Naruto, as a genin, has to face an enemy who was once an acquaintance of Kushina. He uses the stories he has heard about her to outwit the enemy. He could recall how Kushina was known for her quick thinking and apply that to his battle strategy. This would not only be a way to defeat the foe but also a way to connect with his mother on a deeper level.
Genin Naruto could interact with Kushina in a dream - like state. Kushina could appear as a guiding spirit, teaching Naruto some of her unique ninja skills or sharing wisdom about the Uzumaki clan. This would be a great way for Naruto to learn from his mother without any inappropriate or romantic undertones.
The plot could involve Naruto passing on his unique skills. For example, he might teach the genin his signature Rasengan. He could also share his experiences of facing tough opponents, like Sasuke. Maybe he'd take the team on a mission to a place filled with mystery, like the Land of Waves, and teach them how to handle real - world situations.
In such a fanfic, perhaps Naruto is overly nervous during the test. Maybe he fails the written part because he didn't study enough about basic ninja knowledge. For example, he could mix up different types of jutsu classifications. Another possibility is that he fails the practical part. He might lose control of his chakra while performing a simple jutsu, like the Clone Jutsu, which is crucial for genin. This could lead to him not creating enough clones or creating unstable ones that disappear quickly.
Well, one possible plot could be that Naruto fails the test due to his overconfidence. He might rush through the practical parts without properly showing his skills. For example, in the clone jutsu part, he could create clones that are too obvious and lack the finesse required. This would then lead to him having to face the disappointment of his peers and his own self - doubt, which could be a major part of the fanfic as he tries to overcome it and prove himself.
One possible plot could be that Naruto is somehow sent back in time and meets his mother Kushina. He gets to know her as a person, not just as the mother he never really knew. They could train together, and Kushina could share some of her unique Uzumaki clan techniques with Naruto.
The plot could revolve around a mystery in the village that only Kushina, Mikoto and Naruto can solve. Maybe there are strange disappearances that are related to an ancient power that was once sealed by the Uzumaki clan and has some connection to the Uchiha. Kushina uses her knowledge of the Uzumaki history, Mikoto her understanding of the Uchiha lore, and Naruto his unique perspective as the Jinchuriki of the Nine - Tails. They have to overcome their differences and work together to save the village from this hidden threat. Along the way, they develop a deeper bond as they face various challenges.
A simple plot could be Kushina's adventures as a young ninja. She goes on missions, faces various enemies, and discovers new jutsu. For example, she could be part of a team that has to retrieve a powerful artifact from a dangerous location.
Well, the plot might involve Kushina seeing Naruto's potential right from the start and training him intensively. She could also share her own experiences of growing up as an Uzumaki, which could help Naruto better understand his heritage. And perhaps they go on special missions together where Kushina guides Naruto not just in combat but also in making tough decisions. There could be a lot of emotional moments as Kushina fills the role of both a sensei and a mother - like figure to Naruto. Also, Kushina could introduce Naruto to other Uzumaki - related things like ancient seals or special chakra control techniques that were unique to their clan.
One possible plot could be that Kushina is somehow influenced by an evil force. This force makes her believe false things about Naruto, like he's a threat to the village in the future. So, she betrays him by revealing his secrets or trying to harm him. Maybe she spreads lies about him which turns the villagers against Naruto even more.
Well, one possible plot is that Naruto is left all alone at a very young age by Kushina. This makes him an outcast even more so in the village. He might start to question his identity and purpose. He could end up having a different set of friends or allies, perhaps those who are also outcasts. And as he grows, he has to face the fact that his mother abandoned him while still trying to protect the village that didn't always accept him.
