Perhaps Naruto pickpockets the ANBU as part of a prank that goes horribly wrong. He thought it would be a funny joke, but it turns out the item he stole was of great importance to the ANBU and to the village. This could lead to Naruto having to face the consequences and learn a valuable lesson about the seriousness of his actions.
Well, one possibility is that Naruto is forced into pickpocketing the ANBU due to some dire situation. Maybe he needs to steal a special item from them to save a friend. For example, if his friend is poisoned and the only antidote is in the possession of an ANBU member, Naruto might see pickpocketing as the only option.
The plot could involve Naruto initially being set up to look like he's pickpocketing the ANBU. Some enemy of his could frame him. Then he has to prove his innocence while also dealing with the ANBU who are now after him. It could lead to a lot of action and chase scenes throughout Konoha.
Some of the more hot - headed ANBU members might overreact and assume Naruto is a threat to the village. They could try to use force to get the stolen item back. However, the more level - headed ones might try to figure out Naruto's motives first. They might consider that Naruto could have a good reason for what he did, like if he thought the item was being misused by the ANBU.
One possible plot twist could be that Naruto actually steals something from Kakashi that he thought was unimportant, but it turns out to be a key to a hidden jutsu or a secret mission. Another could be that Kakashi knew Naruto was going to pickpocket him all along and let it happen as part of a training exercise. Maybe Naruto pickpockets Kakashi, but then realizes he has to return the item quickly because it's something that Kakashi needs to save the village.
One possible plot could be Naruto and Kurama having to work together on a top - secret ANBU mission. Naruto might have to rely on Kurama's power in a more covert way compared to his usual battles. Maybe they are sent to infiltrate an enemy stronghold where Naruto uses his ninja skills and Kurama's chakra to remain undetected.
One possibility is that Naruto joins the Anbu to prove himself even more. He might face challenges like learning the stealthy ways of the Anbu which are very different from his usual open - combat style. He could also be sent on dangerous solo missions that test his limits both physically and mentally.
One possible plot could be Naruto retiring from the ANBU due to the toll it has taken on his mental and physical health. He might then focus on mentoring the next generation of ninja in Konoha, sharing his unique skills and experiences.
Well, in a Naruto fanfiction where he's a secret ANBU commander, the plot could revolve around his struggle to balance his new responsibilities with his old self. As an ANBU, he has to be cold and calculating, but Naruto is known for his big heart. He might face moral dilemmas during missions, like whether to sacrifice a few to save many. His relationships with other characters would also change. His friends might start to notice his secrecy and distance, leading to some interesting character dynamics. And there could be a new villain or group that specifically targets the ANBU, making Naruto's job even more challenging.
Maybe the ANBU who raise Naruto are actually part of a secret group within the ANBU that has its own agenda. They could be training Naruto to be a weapon against a hidden threat in the shinobi world. As a result, Naruto's journey would be about uncovering this conspiracy while also dealing with the fact that his upbringing has made him an outcast among the regular shinobi. For example, he might be too brutal in his fighting style for the more traditional ninja.
One possible plot twist could be that the ANBU who raise Naruto secretly train him in forbidden jutsu. This would set Naruto on a path that's different from the original story. He might face more opposition from the village elders who discover this, but it could also make him a more formidable ninja earlier on.
One possible plot could be her facing a mysterious enemy within the village who is trying to undermine the ANBU. She has to use her unique skills and knowledge of the village to uncover the traitor. Since she's female in this fanfic, she might also face discrimination from some of the more traditional ANBU members at first, but she proves herself with her combat and leadership abilities.
One possibility is that Naruto is sent on a top - secret mission by ANBU. Maybe he has to infiltrate a powerful enemy organization. His disappearance could be part of a long - term undercover operation where he has to cut off all ties with his friends and the village for a while to avoid suspicion.
