In some fanfictions, Naruto might come back with a different attitude. Maybe he has seen so much during his time away that he is more mature and philosophical. This new Naruto could inspire the younger generation in Konoha to be better ninjas, not just in terms of power but also in their way of thinking.
Obviously, Naruto is the central character. But often, his friends like Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi are also involved. Sasuke might be there to have some sort of reunion or conflict with Naruto. Sakura could be the one to heal Naruto if he comes back injured. And Kakashi, as Naruto's former teacher, would be there to welcome him back or assess his new abilities.
Well, perhaps Naruto is brought back to Konoha not as himself but in a transformed state. He could be in a form that combines his own chakra with some ancient and mysterious power. This new form might make his friends initially not recognize him, leading to some tense and emotional moments. Also, it could be that his return is part of a larger prophecy that the village was unaware of, and his presence now sets in motion a series of events that will either save or doom Konoha.
It could be a rogue ninja from within Konoha who has his own reasons for not wanting Naruto back. Maybe this ninja was jealous of Naruto's popularity and power before he left, and now fears that his return will put an end to his own plans for power within the village.
Naruto would probably be conflicted. On one hand, he has a deep love for Konoha, his home. But on the other hand, he might have been hurt by the past events that led to his departure. He could initially be hesitant, but eventually be swayed by the thought of seeing his friends again.
However, it could also force Konoha to reevaluate its treatment of its ninjas. Maybe they would realize that they need to be more inclusive and less self - serving in their actions. This could lead to some positive changes in the long run, such as better treatment of Jinchurikis and other marginalized ninja groups.
Well, one possible plot could be that Naruto is forced back due to a new threat emerging in Konoha that only he can help with. Maybe an old enemy has resurfaced and the village elders believe Naruto's power is essential to combat it.
The village elders are very likely to be involved. They often have a say in the big decisions in Konoha. They might be the ones who decide that Naruto must return for the safety or the benefit of the village. Tsunade could also be a part of it. If she's still in charge, she might be in a difficult position of having to order Naruto back or deal with the consequences of his forced return.
One possible plot development could be that Naruto has been away on a super - secret mission. The village is facing a new and powerful enemy. The story could show how the villagers realize just how much they rely on Naruto. His friends like Sasuke and Sakura could start a campaign to bring him back, convincing the elders that they need his strength. Maybe they send out search parties to find him and bring him home.
One possibility is that Naruto would return with newfound strength and wisdom. He might have learned unique techniques during his time away. Konoha could welcome him with open arms and immediately put his skills to use in protecting the village. For example, he could train the new generation of ninja, sharing his experiences from his travels.
