It could be Orochimaru. Even though he's had his moments of redemption, he might relapse into his old ways. He could see Naruto's 'death' as an opportunity to carry out some evil plan that Naruto would have stopped. Maybe he wants to use Naruto's death to create chaos and then take advantage of the power vacuum in the ninja world.
Well, a plot could involve Naruto faking his death as part of a training exercise that was actually set up by the older generation of ninja. They want to see how the new generation will react and grow without Naruto's presence. So Naruto goes along with it, but things get complicated when some of his friends start to suspect it's not real and go on a quest to find out the truth. Also, he could fake his death to test Hinata's loyalty or something like that, but that's a bit more of a soap - opera - like plot.
Perhaps he has discovered a great threat that is specifically targeting him. To keep the village and his family from being collateral damage, he fakes his death. This way, he can secretly gather information, train more, and come back stronger to face the threat when the time is right.
One possible reason could be to protect his family. After the war, Naruto might have made many enemies. By faking his death, he could draw the attention of these enemies away from his family, especially his wife and children. His enemies would think he's no longer a threat and stop targeting his loved ones.
Well, he might use some substitution jutsu. He could replace himself with a log or something similar at the crucial moment, making it seem like he's been killed.
I recommend Glazed Tile Palace to you. This book is an ancient romance novel. It tells the story of an empress who faked her death. It involves the war of the Three Kingdoms and the changes after the empress's rebirth. The plot is exciting.
Well, Naruto could have made a deal with some powerful being or used some sort of forbidden technique. Maybe he found a way to transfer his life signs to another object or being, making it seem like he was dead. He's always been resourceful and full of surprises, so faking his own death in a really elaborate and unexpected way is not out of the question.
