He'll likely lose his power and influence in the village. Once Naruto reveals his secrets, the villagers won't trust him anymore. His actions might be put on trial, and he could be exiled from the village.
It could also be due to Naruto's outcast status in the village initially. Danzo might think that banishing Naruto would be an easy decision as Naruto doesn't have many supporters at first. He might believe that by getting rid of Naruto, he can maintain the status quo in the village and prevent any disruptions that Naruto's presence might cause in the future.
Sure. The characters are a huge part of Naruto Shippuden fanfiction. Fanfic writers use the characters to attract readers who are fans of those characters. They might focus on a character's backstory that wasn't fully explored in the anime and expand on it. Also, the interactions between characters in the original show give fanfic writers ideas for different scenarios in their stories.
By their unique abilities. Naruto's Rasengan, Sasuke's Sharingan, these abilities can be the starting point for many fanfiction ideas. Writers can think about how these abilities could be used in different battles or situations not shown in the original.
One of the most popular is 'Naruto Shippuden: Sakura Hiden - Thoughts of Love, Riding Upon a Spring Breeze'. It's popular because it shows Sakura in a new light, with her own adventures and growth.
Well, in some versions, Naruto might use his influence among the villagers. After Pain's attack, the village is in a state of rebuilding and re - evaluating. Naruto, being a hero, has the ears of the people. He could start by presenting evidence of Danzo's underhanded deals, like his connection to Orochimaru perhaps. Maybe he found some secret documents during the chaos that Pain caused, which link Danzo to unethical experiments or power - grabbing within the village.
One possible motive could be to gain control over Naruto's power. Since Naruto has the Nine - Tails within him, Danzo might want to use that power for his own political or military gains. He's always been power - hungry and sees Naruto as a tool to achieve his goals of making Konoha stronger in his own way, which might involve more underhanded and controlling methods.
It could also be a completely new character introduced into the fanfiction. A foreign ninja who was inspired by some of Danzo's ideas (not the bad ones) and comes to Konoha to take on the role of successor, bringing in new perspectives and ways of doing things.
I don't think it's strange at all. Naruto is a very curious person. Fanfiction can offer new perspectives on his own life and the lives of his friends. He might learn something new about himself or get inspired by the creative ideas in the fanfiction. It could also be a form of entertainment for him during his downtime.
A Naruto x Hinata fanfiction could focus on a mission they go on together during Naruto Shippuden. They are forced to rely on each other in a dangerous situation. Hinata gets injured protecting Naruto, and Naruto is filled with a new - found determination to protect her. This experience deepens their bond, and Naruto starts to see Hinata in a whole new light, leading to the start of their romantic relationship.
