He may also face opposition from some council members who are afraid of his growing power. They could try to set him up or sabotage his efforts to grow stronger. Naruto would then have to be cautious and find ways to outwit them while still focusing on his growth.
In this kind of fanfic, Naruto might respond with defiance. He has always been a character who follows his own path. So, he could simply ignore the council's demands and focus on his own training regime to grow stronger. For example, he might continue his intense physical and chakra training with Jiraiya, believing that his way of getting stronger is more important than following the council's old - fashioned ideas.
It could mean that the council in the Naruto universe is asking for fan - made fictional stories. Maybe they want to see different interpretations of the Naruto world from the fans.
In this fanfiction, the council's demand for Naruto's power might be the starting point for a whole new adventure. Naruto could be forced to go on the run to protect his power. Along the way, he might discover new aspects of his power or even meet new allies who help him understand the importance of his power and why the council wants it. Maybe he'll also find out that there are some dark secrets behind the council's demand, which could lead to a major showdown between him and the council in the end.
If the council makes such a demand in fanfiction, it might be a way to bring the two rivals closer. Naruto, being the more open - minded one, could teach Sasuke about the value of friendship and the power that comes from believing in others. Sasuke, on the other hand, might learn new combat skills from Naruto that could be crucial in future battles.
One challenge could be getting the necessary resources. Uzushiogakure was destroyed long ago, so finding materials to build the village again would be tough. He might have to negotiate with other villages for supplies.
Naruto would probably be excited at first. He has always wanted to help Sasuke and this would be a great opportunity for him to do so. He'd be eager to share his skills and knowledge.
Well, Naruto might face environmental challenges. For example, if the toddler is in a swampy area or a place with a lot of quicksand. Naruto has to navigate through these difficult terrains while protecting the toddler. Also, if there are other threats around like poisonous plants or insects, he has to be aware of them too. He can't just focus on getting the toddler out, but also has to ensure their safety during the whole process. This requires his full attention and all his ninja knowledge.
He might face challenges like finding the right place to plant the tree. Konoha has a lot of regulations about what can be planted where. Also, he needs to make sure the tree gets enough water and sunlight. If it's a magical tree, he may not know exactly what it needs to grow well.
He might face challenges like mastering new jutsu. The toads have unique techniques that Naruto has to learn, which could be physically and mentally exhausting.
One challenge could be getting the speed right. Flash Step requires incredible speed, and Naruto, while fast, has to adjust his normal speed to the extreme quickness needed for this technique. Another might be the chakra control. He has to learn how to use just the right amount of chakra to power the Flash Step without overdoing it and exhausting himself.
