What could be an interesting plot for a Naruto Ramen Shop fanfiction?

Naruto and his son, Boruto, could be main characters. Boruto might not understand his father's love for the ramen shop at first, but as the story progresses, he comes to appreciate it. Another character could be Shikamaru. He might be there to relax and have some ramen while also using his intelligence to solve any problems that arise in the shop, like a sudden shortage of ingredients.

One possible plot could be that Naruto discovers a new secret ingredient for his favorite ramen. This ingredient could be a rare herb only found in a hidden part of the forest.

Naruto is initially intimidated but then realizes it's not just about eating fast but also enjoying the ramen. He starts to slow down and savor each bite, which actually helps him eat more in the long run. In the end, he wins and also makes a new friend from the other village.

Perhaps Naruto becomes a ramen chef to bring joy to the people of Konoha. He could start by working in Ichiraku Ramen and then decides to open his own shop. His friends support him, and he invents ramen that gives people different kinds of chakra boosts, which attracts all kinds of ninjas from different villages.

One idea could be that the shop owner has a secret past as a powerful ninja who retired due to an injury. He now uses his knowledge of ninja tools and techniques to run a shop that attracts all kinds of customers. For example, he might have a special section in his shop for rare and ancient ninja weapons that are sought after by collectors and current ninjas alike.

In a 'naruto runs a shop' fanfiction, he could run a pet shop. Naruto has always had a connection with animals.

They might face challenges from other shops or even some ninja who think they can make better 'ninja - candies'. Along the way, they make new friends among the villagers, and also attract the attention of some important ninja who see potential in their unique candies for use in missions.

Perhaps a ninja who has a grudge against Naruto because he once ate all the ramen at a festival, leaving none for the ninja.
