Since it's a fan - made story, the main character could be anyone. It could be an OC (original character) designed to be the center of this forgotten prodigy narrative. They could have a backstory full of hardships that led to their being forgotten. Or, as I said before, it could be a familiar Naruto face but with a whole new story arc that focuses on their previously unacknowledged prodigious nature.
It could be someone like Rock Lee. He was a hard - working prodigy in taijutsu, but often got overshadowed by the more flashy abilities of others. Maybe in this fanfiction, he's completely forgotten until he does something extraordinary to get noticed again.
I'm not sure specifically as there could be many different takes in such a fanfic. Generally, it might be about a character in the Naruto universe who is a prodigy but has been overlooked or forgotten. It could explore their journey to regain recognition, their unique abilities that were previously ignored, and how they interact with the well - known Naruto characters in new and unexpected ways.
It could be a new character created by the fanfic writer. Maybe a young orphan who discovers their seal - making talent by accident.
There's also a chance that the main character could be a completely new character from a minor clan in the Naruto universe. This character could have some hidden bloodline limit that makes them a prodigy in the ANBU. They might start as an underdog but quickly rise through the ranks due to their exceptional skills and intelligence.
In 'The Prodigy of Konoha', the main character is a young ninja named Kaito. He has this amazing ability to quickly learn and master new ninjutsu. He stands out among his peers and often catches the attention of the more experienced ninjas like Kakashi.
In a 'naruto the uchiha prodigy fanfic', the main focus would be on the Uchiha prodigy. But considering the context of the Naruto universe, there would be a whole host of other characters involved. Naruto would most likely be present, as his story is intertwined with the world of the Uchiha. Sakura could also be part of the story, perhaps as a healer or a friend to the Uchiha prodigy. And then there are the villains from the Naruto series. Orochimaru, for instance, might be interested in the powers of the Uchiha prodigy and try to manipulate or use them for his own purposes. So, the main characters would be a mix of the Uchiha prodigy, Naruto - related characters, and potential antagonists.
It could be an original character created by the fanfiction author. This character might have a special background or power that makes them a ninjutsu prodigy.
In most 'sakura is a prodigy fanfic', Sakura is the central figure. However, depending on the plot, there could be antagonists as well. These antagonists might be jealous of Sakura's prodigious abilities or try to stop her from achieving her goals. And of course, there are usually her comrades or allies who help her along the way.
It could be a jealous relative who wants Naruto out of the picture so they can have more attention or power within the family.
Naruto himself is usually a central and popular character. Since it's a Naruto fanfic, his journey as a hidden prodigy is often the main focus. He might be portrayed with enhanced abilities or a different understanding of his powers.
