Who could be the main antagonist in a 'naruto fakes his own death fanfic'?

It could be a new, powerful ninja who has a vendetta against Naruto. This antagonist might be jealous of Naruto's popularity and power, and wants to take over the Hidden Leaf Village.

Another possibility is that the main antagonist is a group. It could be a secret organization that Naruto discovers is plotting something big. Since they are so powerful and well - connected, Naruto fakes his death to infiltrate them and expose their plans from the inside.

It could be the Green Goblin. He's always been a major foe of Spider - Man and might be the reason for Spider - Man to fake his death, like if he's planning a huge attack and Spider - Man needs to deceive him to stop it.

One possible plotline could be that Naruto fakes his death to protect the village from a powerful enemy who has a vendetta against him specifically. He might do this to draw the enemy out and expose their weaknesses.

Well, Naruto could have made a deal with some powerful being or used some sort of forbidden technique. Maybe he found a way to transfer his life signs to another object or being, making it seem like he was dead. He's always been resourceful and full of surprises, so faking his own death in a really elaborate and unexpected way is not out of the question.

His friends might feel betrayed. They would be mourning his death while he was actually alive. This could lead to a lot of anger and mistrust when they find out the truth.

It could be an ancient dark ninja who wants to use Naruto's new 'avatar of death' powers for his own evil purposes. This ninja might have been researching death - related jutsus for years and sees Naruto as the key to his ultimate power.

It could be a rogue ninja from another village who has a long - standing grudge against Naruto. Maybe this ninja has been plotting for years to take revenge on Naruto and when Naruto fakes his death, he starts to target Naruto's friends and family instead, thinking it will draw Naruto out.

Harry is the main one as it's his faked death. Hermione, with her sharp mind, would be a mainstay in the story. Ron, with his loyalty and bravery, would be right there. Neville could also be a main character. He has grown a lot throughout the series and could be involved in the events surrounding Harry's faked death, perhaps even being one of the first to suspect something fishy. And then there's Ginny. As Harry's love interest, she would be deeply affected by his faked death and would be a central figure in the emotional turmoil of the story.

A rival medicine cat from another Clan might be the main antagonist. They could see Alderheart as a threat to their own status or the well - being of their Clan. So they might use dark magic or some underhanded tactics to bring about his death.
