Fanfiction about Itachi and Baby Naruto: What are some interesting plot ideas?

One idea could be that baby Naruto somehow crosses paths with Itachi in a secret mission. Maybe Itachi is on a mission in Konoha and stumbles upon baby Naruto who has an unusual chakra flare. Itachi, being curious, decides to keep an eye on him without revealing himself. This could lead to a series of events where Itachi's actions unknowingly protect Naruto from some early threats.

One idea could be a story where baby Itachi meets a young Naruto in a sort of alternate universe. Maybe Naruto stumbles upon a hidden place where baby Itachi is being kept safe. They form an unlikely friendship, and Naruto's positive energy starts to influence Itachi in a way that makes him question some of the darker paths he might take in the future.

One plot idea could be Sasuke discovers a way to travel back in time and meets baby Itachi. He then tries to protect Itachi from the future tragedies that he knows will occur. Another could be in a parallel universe where Sasuke is tasked with taking care of baby Itachi and he has to learn how to be a caretaker while also dealing with his own emotional turmoil. Maybe there could also be a plot where an enemy targets baby Itachi and Sasuke has to use all his skills to keep him safe.

A great plot could be Itachi teaching Naruto how to control the Nine - Tails' chakra in a completely different way than Jiraiya did. Since Itachi has such a deep understanding of chakra and its nature, he could offer unique insights. Also, there could be a story where Itachi and Naruto are forced to team up against a common enemy that is using an ancient and powerful jutsu. In the process, Itachi passes on some of his Uchiha clan's wisdom to Naruto. And perhaps, Itachi could help Naruto deal with the loneliness that often comes with being a jinchuriki, as Itachi has also felt isolated in his own way.

One idea could be that Naruto discovers Itachi's true motives early on. So instead of seeing him as an enemy, he tries to help Itachi with his mission in the Akatsuki secretly. They could meet in secret places and exchange information about the Akatsuki's plans and how to protect the Leaf Village at the same time.

One interesting plot could be baby Naruto and baby Sasuke getting lost in the forest together. They have to rely on their budding instincts and nascent chakra to find their way back. Maybe they encounter some small, friendly forest creatures that help them. Another idea is that they accidentally switch places in the village for a day. This leads to chaos as the villagers react differently to them being in the wrong 'homes'.

One idea could be that Itachi survives his battle with Sasuke and teams up with Naruto to face a new, powerful enemy from the Otsutsuki clan. They combine their unique skills, Naruto's Rasengan and Itachi's Sharingan abilities, to take on this threat.

A possible plot could involve Female Itachi being an outcast in her own clan because she has different ideals. Naruto, who always believes in people, befriends her. They then start a journey to prove that her ideas can bring peace to the ninja world, facing opposition from both their own and other clans.

One idea could be exploring Itachi's time in ANBU and how Naruto might have influenced his decisions secretly. Maybe Naruto, with his unique way of seeing people, could have made Itachi question his path in the ANBU more deeply.

One idea could be that the Kyuubi's power somehow interacts with Itachi's Sharingan in a unique way. Maybe Itachi is able to use the Kyuubi's chakra to enhance his genjutsu even further. Another plot could involve Naruto, with the Kyuubi inside him, teaming up with Itachi to face a common enemy that neither could defeat alone. For example, a new powerful Otsutsuki clan member arrives, and their combined skills are needed to save the village.
