One idea could be that Naruto discovers the tanto in an ancient shinobi relic site. He initially doesn't know how to use it but with the help of Kakashi, he starts to learn. The tanto could have some special powers, like being able to cut through chakra - based defenses. This would add a new dimension to Naruto's fighting style.
Imagine if the tanto was a gift from a mysterious stranger. This stranger could be an ally or an enemy in disguise. Naruto would be suspicious but also intrigued. As he tries to figure out the stranger's motives, he also has to deal with the tanto's unique abilities. Maybe the tanto can transform into different shapes, and Naruto has to learn how to control this transformation in the heat of battle.
Sasuke could be her mentor. He has extensive knowledge of various weapons and his skills with bladed weapons are well - known. He could teach Naruko how to hold the tanto properly, the different stances for attack and defense, and how to use chakra with it for enhanced strikes.
One idea could be that Naruto catches a cold because he overexerted himself during the training trip and didn't take proper care afterwards. Maybe he pushed his body too hard with new jutsu training. His friends, like Sakura, could then take care of him, bringing him hot soup and medicine. It would be a sweet moment showing their friendship.
A cool plot could be Naruto being reincarnated as an enemy of Konoha in a parallel universe. He has all his memories but has to fight against his former friends and home. This would lead to a lot of internal conflict for him. Also, he could be reincarnated into a time where there are new and strange forms of chakra that he has to learn to master in order to save the world again. For example, a chakra that is a combination of nature and spiritual energy.
One possible plot could be that Naruko discovers the tanto in an old family heirloom chest. She then starts to train with it secretly, knowing that in her world, having an unregistered weapon like this could get her in trouble. As she trains, she discovers unique abilities the tanto has, like being able to cut through certain magical barriers.
One idea could be that Sasuke, despite his usually stoic nature, feels a sense of worry when he hears Naruto is sick on his birthday. He could visit Naruto and bring him some traditional Uchiha herbal medicine that he secretly prepared. This would show a soft side of Sasuke and also deepen their bond in the fanfic.
The tattoo could also be a part of a deal she makes in the fanfiction. Suppose she has to make a pact with a powerful being in the feudal era. As a result, she gets a tattoo that binds her to the deal, and throughout the story, she has to figure out how to fulfill the terms of the pact without sacrificing her own values.
One idea could be that Peter Parker gets a prosthetic after a particularly dangerous battle with a villain. Maybe his leg is severely injured and he has to adapt to the new prosthetic while still maintaining his superhero duties. He could struggle at first with the balance and movement, but with his determination, he eventually masters it and even modifies the prosthetic to have some special features like enhanced jumping ability.
One idea could be that Sam is kidnapped by a group of rogue hunters who think he's gone too far in his use of demon powers. They lock him in an abandoned bunker and try to 'exorcise' the 'demon' out of him, not realizing he's in control. His brother Dean has to race against time to find him, following a series of cryptic clues left by the kidnappers.
Perhaps Sam gets hurt while trying to protect a civilian. He jumps in front of a werewolf's attack meant for someone else. This would show his selfless nature. The local hunters in the area might not trust Sam and Dean at first, but seeing Sam's sacrifice could change their minds, adding an interesting dynamic to the story.
