In some edo tensei Naruto fanfictions, the rules of the edo tensei jutsu are altered. This could lead to some really creative plotlines. For instance, the resurrected characters might be able to retain their memories more clearly or have different abilities compared to what was shown in the original series. This allows for new and exciting battles and interactions within the Naruto universe.
In certain fanfic concepts, Naruto could learn Edo Tensei from Kabuto. Kabuto, having mastered the jutsu, might decide to teach Naruto for some reason. It could be because he sees Naruto's potential to use it in a more positive way compared to how he misused it. Naruto, with his strong sense of justice, would then try to modify the jutsu to be less evil - like not using it to bring back people against their will.
One interesting concept could be how different characters are brought back using Edo Tensei in the fanfiction. For example, seeing a character who had a tragic end in the original Naruto series return and interact with the current characters in new ways. It might also explore the moral implications of using such a jutsu in the fanfiction world, like whether it's right to bring back the dead for power or personal gain.
A great plot in 'naruto edo tensei fanfiction' might be an alternate universe where the edo tensei is not a jutsu used for combat but for a more peaceful purpose like resurrecting historical shinobi to teach the new generation. This could lead to all kinds of cultural exchanges and unique training sessions for characters like Naruto and his friends. Also, a plot where edo tensei characters rebel against their summoners due to having their own wills and agendas would be exciting.
One interesting concept could be the way different Edo Tensei characters interact with the main Naruto characters. For example, how they might change the course of battles or relationships.
One idea could be exploring the backstories of the Edo Tensei - summoned ninjas in more depth. For example, you could focus on the relationships they had before their deaths and how those relationships are affected when they are resurrected. Another idea is to have a character somehow break free from the control of the Edo Tensei jutsu and try to stop the summoner. This could lead to some really intense battles and moral dilemmas.
There's also a possibility that it could be an unknown villain. A new character created by the fanfiction author who has a vendetta against Konoha or the ninja world in general and believes that resurrecting Naruto through Edo Tensei would be a way to start some sort of revolution or destruction.
One idea could be the clones having unique abilities different from the original edo tensei summons. For example, they might be able to combine jutsus in unexpected ways.
A great plot could be that Kushina's Edo Tensei resurrection is only temporary. Naruto has to race against time to learn some important lesson or power from her before she disappears again. This could add a lot of emotional depth and urgency to the story as Naruto tries to make the most of the time he has with his mother.
Another plot could involve the Edo Tensei characters crossing over into a different anime world. Maybe they enter the world of One Piece. There would be a clash of powers and ideologies. Naruto characters might be shocked by the Devil Fruits in One Piece and the different forms of piracy. The story could focus on how they team up or fight against the pirates in this new world.
One possible interesting plot could be Madara, in his Edo Tensei form, somehow regaining his full power and challenging Naruto not in a fight to the death but in a battle of wits. Naruto, on the other hand, tries to find a way to either seal Madara permanently or make him see the error of his ways. For example, Naruto could use his talk - no - jutsu to try and convince Madara that his quest for power has only led to destruction.
