Another aspect could be that the fanfiction delves into how Kushina's presence affects Naruto's relationships with others. For instance, his relationship with Sasuke could be different. With a strong maternal figure in his life, Naruto might be more stable emotionally and be able to approach Sasuke in a more understanding way, which could potentially change the whole dynamic of their rivalry and friendship.
In certain fanfic concepts, Naruto could have found a special relic or artifact. This relic might have the power to reverse death. Since Naruto is always on adventures and exploring different places, he might stumble upon such an item and use it to revive Kushina. It could also be related to the Uzumaki clan's secrets that he uncovers which enables him to bring his mother back.
Minato could be a common character. Since he was Kushina's husband in the original story, his presence might add some interesting dynamics to the harem scenario. Another could be Jiraiya. His connection to Naruto and his reputation as a bit of a ladies' man could make for an interesting addition to the story.
One possible reason could be for Naruto's protection. Maybe she thought by banishing him from a certain place or situation, she could keep him away from a hidden danger that she knew about. For example, there might be a powerful enemy targeting Naruto specifically, and she believed that by making him leave, he would be harder to find.
Perhaps Naruto finds a way to travel back in time and prevent Kushina's death in the first place. He could use his Sage Mode or some other special ability to manipulate time. And then, by changing the past, he effectively'revives' her in the present. In the Naruto universe, there are all kinds of crazy powers, so time - travel isn't completely out of the question.
Well, at first, it might be a bit awkward as they adjust to being husband and wife. But as time passes, they start to understand each other on a deeper level. Kushina could help Naruto deal with his insecurities and Naruto could support Kushina in her goals for the village. They might have small arguments here and there, but overall, their love and respect for each other would grow.
Maybe it's because Naruto has some sort of special connection or resemblance to the Kyuubi that Kushina notices. For example, Naruto might display some of the Kyuubi's power characteristics in an obvious way that makes Kushina jump to that conclusion.
One possible reason could be some sort of dark influence or curse that makes her lose her maternal instincts. Maybe a powerful enemy targets her and in order to protect Naruto from further danger related to her, she feels forced to abandon him. Another reason might be that she is made to believe false information about Naruto, such as that he will bring great disaster to the village in the future.
Kushina's training in the fanfiction might also impact Naruto's mental state. Knowing that his mother is there to train him gives him more confidence. He feels more connected to his family and his Uzumaki heritage. This new - found confidence reflects in his battles, where he is more fearless and decisive.
One possible reason could be a mission. In many Naruto - related stories, missions often take characters away from their families. Naruto might have received a highly important and dangerous mission that requires him to be away from Kushina for a long time.
