Love and sacrifice are also big themes. Tsunade and Jiraiya's relationship is complex, and when it comes to family, they often have to make sacrifices for the well - being of their loved ones. For example, in some fanfictions, Jiraiya gives up his wandering ways to be with his family.
One common theme is unrequited love. Given their complex relationship in the original series, many fanfics play with the idea that one of them has feelings that the other may not be fully aware of.
Another great one is 'A Family of Their Own Creation'. In this fanfic, the author imagines a world where Tsunade and Jiraiya not only start a family but also how their family impacts the ninja world. It has a lot of heartwarming scenes and some really creative plot twists.
Adventure - themed fanfictions are also common. Since they are both powerful ninjas, authors like to create stories where Tsunade and Jiraiya go on dangerous missions together. These stories might include battles against powerful enemies and the development of their relationship during the course of the adventure. It could be about how they learn to trust and rely on each other more during these tough situations.
A common theme is mentorship. Jiraiya is Naruto's teacher, and many fanfictions explore how Jiraiya's teachings shape Naruto. Another theme is legacy. Jiraiya leaves behind a great deal, and Naruto is often shown carrying on that legacy in these stories.
A common theme is adventure. Since Jiraiya is known for his travels, the OC often joins him on his adventures, like exploring new lands or uncovering ancient secrets. Another theme is the discovery of self - worth. The OC might start off feeling unimportant but through their relationship with Jiraiya, they find their place in the world.
One common theme is mentorship. Tsunade often takes on the role of mentoring Naruto, much like she did with Sakura. Another theme is family bonds. Since they don't have a biological family connection in the original series, fanfictions explore how they can create a family - like bond. For example, Naruto might find a mother - like figure in Tsunade.
Naruto is often depicted as his usual enthusiastic and determined self. He is eager to learn from Jiraiya and respects Tsunade. Jiraiya is usually portrayed as the wise and sometimes lecherous mentor. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience. Tsunade is the strong - willed and tough - as - nails female character. She is respected for her medical skills and leadership. In fanfiction, these traits are often exaggerated or explored in different situations.
Another theme is adventure. The OC and Tsunade might go on adventures together, facing various threats in the Naruto universe. This could involve battles against other ninja clans or dealing with dangerous creatures. It's a way to show their relationship developing in the face of challenges. And often, during these adventures, their feelings for each other deepen.
One common theme is mentorship. Tsunade being an experienced and powerful ninja can act as a mentor to Naruto, guiding him in his growth. Another theme is the idea of family. Naruto, who has lost his parents, and Tsunade, who has lost her loved ones, can form a sort of surrogate family bond. Also, the theme of mutual respect often comes up. Naruto respects Tsunade's strength and leadership, and Tsunade respects Naruto's potential and his heart for the village.
One common theme is mentorship evolving into a deeper relationship. Tsunade often starts as Naruto's mentor in different aspects, and then feelings change over time. Another is the exploration of power dynamics. Naruto is powerful in his own right, and Tsunade is a strong Kage, so how they balance that in a relationship is often explored.
