Who could be the main antagonist in 'naruto dies in battle fanfiction'?

It could be someone who was secretly behind Naruto's death in the first place. Maybe a rogue ninja who has a vendetta against the Hidden Leaf and saw Naruto as a major obstacle.

It could be an ancient evil that was sealed away long ago but has been released due to Naruto's death. Maybe Naruto's sacrifice in his previous life weakened the seal, and now this evil has emerged. It could be a powerful demon or a dark ninja with extremely strong and malevolent jutsu.

It could be Orochimaru. Since Naruto was a potential threat to his plans in the original story, if Naruto died as a baby, Orochimaru might be able to carry out his experiments and schemes more freely without having to worry about Naruto interfering in the future.

It could be an unknown shinobi from a far - off land. A shinobi with powers that Naruto has never encountered before. This new antagonist might have some dark and powerful jutsu that Naruto simply isn't prepared for, which ultimately leads to his downfall on the bridge.

A rogue ninja from another village could be the main antagonist. Maybe a ninja from the Hidden Mist Village who has a personal grudge against Konoha and sees Naruto as the symbol of Konoha's strength. So, he devises a complex plan to take down Naruto. This ninja could have some unique and deadly jutsu that Naruto has never faced before, which ultimately leads to his downfall.

They might blame the villages for the destruction caused during the war and see Naruto's death as the perfect time to strike, when the villages are still recovering and vulnerable.

The warden of the Blood Prison could be the main antagonist. He might be a power - hungry and corrupt individual who sees Naruto as a threat to his control over the prison. So, he devises plans to get rid of Naruto, which ultimately lead to Naruto's death.

Madara Uchiha might be the main antagonist. He has grand plans for the ninja world. He could see Naruto as a threat to his vision and engineer a situation in the Valley of the End where Naruto is killed, either directly or by using Sasuke as a pawn.
