Power corruption is a common theme. Just like in Brightburn where the power can lead to dark actions, in these fanfictions, Naruto or other characters with similar powers often face the temptation of using their newfound abilities for wrong reasons.
The theme of outcast also appears frequently. A character with Brightburn - like powers may be seen as different or even feared by the other ninjas. So, they have to deal with being an outcast while still trying to find their place in the village or the ninja world as a whole. This can lead to some very emotional and interesting storylines.
One common theme is the clash of powers. Since Brightburn has such a different and often darker power set compared to the characters he crosses over with, like in crossovers with DC heroes, the conflict between his power and their more traditional heroic powers is a big focus.
A prevalent theme is also the relationship with the other characters from 'Brightburn'. For example, the male reader could form a friendship or rivalry with Brandon, the main character in 'Brightburn'. There might be stories where they team up to face a common threat or where they are at odds due to their different views on power usage. This adds an interesting dynamic to the fanfiction.
One common theme is character relationships. For example, exploring the deepening friendship between Naruto and Sasuke, or Naruto's romantic relationships with characters like Hinata. Another theme is the expansion of the ninja world. Writers might create new villages, new ninja clans, or new jutsu. Also, the idea of alternate universes is popular, where the events in the original 'Naruto' series take a different turn.
One common theme is alternate universes. Writers often like to create scenarios where Naruto and his friends are in a different world altogether, like a modern - day setting or a fantasy world other than the ninja world. This allows for a fresh take on the characters.
One possible theme could be a friendship between Brightburn and Caitlyn. They might start off as strangers and gradually form a bond. Another theme could be Caitlyn trying to understand Brightburn's powers and where he comes from.
The theme of power and its misuse is also prominent. Brightburn has incredible powers, but he uses them without any sense of morality or restraint. This shows how power, when not tempered with a sense of right and wrong, can lead to chaos and destruction. It makes the audience reflect on the importance of using power responsibly in our own lives.
One common theme is the passing of the torch. Older Naruto is often shown mentoring the younger generation, like how Kakashi mentored him. Another theme is dealing with the scars of past battles, both physical and mental.
One common theme is the exploration of their self - discovery. Since they are the same person in a sense, they can see different aspects of themselves. For example, one Naruto might be more confident while the other is more reserved, and they learn from each other.
Teamwork is also a big theme. Despite being the same person in essence, the two Narutos often have to learn to work together. This can be challenging as they may have different personalities due to their different experiences. For example, one Naruto might be more cautious while the other is more impulsive. And the theme of friendship also plays a role, as they are, in a way, their own best friends in these stories.
Another theme is self - discovery. As Naruto faces his dark side, he often learns more about his true nature, his powers, and his place in the ninja world. It's like a journey of self - exploration but with a dark and dangerous twist.
