A plot could involve the crow clones being used by an enemy to spy on Naruto and his friends. However, the clones gradually develop a sense of loyalty towards Naruto and his cause, and they end up double - crossing the enemy. This could lead to a great battle where the clones prove their worth and become an integral part of Naruto's team.
Well, you could have a plot where a young, inexperienced ninja accidentally stumbles upon the crow contract. At first, he has no idea how to use it, but as he gradually learns, he forms a deep bond with the crows. These crows then help him in his various missions, and he has to keep their existence a secret from his village because some might see the power of the contract as a threat. Maybe there's also a dark force that is after the contract, adding an element of danger to the story.
One idea could be that the clone develops its own unique personality over time and forms a special bond with Naruto that is different from his relationship with others. It could start to have dreams and desires separate from its original purpose as a clone.
A plot could revolve around the clones being sent on a special mission. Since they are clones, they might not have all the emotional baggage of the originals. They could approach the mission with a fresh perspective and use their combined skills in new and unexpected ways. Maybe they have to infiltrate an enemy base, and their ability to think like Naruto and Naruko but also act independently gives them an edge.
Maybe Naruto uses his clone training not just for physical skills but also for mental and strategic training. He could create clones to play shogi or solve complex puzzles against each other. This would enhance his thinking skills and help him in battles where strategy is crucial. The clones could then share their insights with the original Naruto.
Maybe in the fanfiction, the clones start to gain special powers different from Naruto. For example, some clones could have the ability to control time on a small scale. This would create a whole new dynamic in the battles and the overall story.
One idea could be the clones developing their own personalities over time. Since they are all part of Naruto, they might start to have different outlooks on life. Another could be using the clone army to fight a new and powerful enemy that the regular shinobi forces can't handle alone.
One interesting plot idea could be Naruto using his shadow clones to time - travel back to the era of the First Hokage. He could then use his modern - day knowledge and shadow clone jutsu to help shape the early history of the Hidden Leaf Village.
A cool concept for Naruto clone fanfiction could be that the clones start to have dreams and desires different from Naruto's. They might form a clone society within the Hidden Leaf. Some clones could be artists, while others are more interested in studying ancient jutsu. This would create a whole new dynamic in the Naruto universe. There could be a plot where the main Naruto has to deal with the fact that his clones are becoming individuals with their own lives and he has to decide whether to support them or try to bring them back to being simple clones.
Perhaps a romance between a ninja from a different village and a Naruto clone. They meet during a battle in the Clone Wars and initially see each other as enemies. But as they interact more, they start to have feelings for each other. They then have to face the challenges of being from opposing sides while also dealing with the chaos of the war.
Well, it could be that clone Naruko has memories from Naruto's past that he has forgotten. As they interact, these memories start to surface. This leads to them exploring parts of Naruto's history that he never fully understood. They might also find that clone Naruko has a connection to an ancient power that was somehow linked to Naruto's family in the past. And as they figure all this out, their relationship grows stronger.
