Power and its abuse is also a common theme. The Anbu has a lot of power, and an OC might be faced with situations where they see this power being misused. Then there's the theme of identity. An OC in the Anbu may struggle with their identity as a ninja who has to do some morally gray things for the sake of the village. This exploration of identity makes for some really interesting 'oc anbu fanfiction' stories.
Well, one great 'oc anbu fanfiction' story could be found on Fanfiction.net. Just search for 'oc anbu' and sort by the highest ratings. There are some where the original characters in the Anbu setting have really unique backstories and adventures that make for an exciting read.
Naruto could develop a more solemn side. In the ANBU, he'd understand that his actions have far - reaching consequences for the village. He'd be more of a silent protector. Shikamaru would transform into a more decisive figure. His laid - back attitude would be replaced by a sense of duty and urgency. He'd be quicker to make tough calls in order to protect the village and Naruto, his friend, while in the ANBU.
One interesting storyline could be Sakura joining the Anbu and having to prove herself among the male - dominated group. She might face challenges like secrecy requirements and intense training, all while Naruto is on his own journey, and their paths cross in unexpected ways during missions.
One great 'Naruto Anbu Fanfiction' is 'The Anbu's Redemption'. It delves deep into the lives of Anbu members outside of their missions, showing their personal struggles. Another is 'Anbu in the Shadows', which focuses on a new Anbu recruit and his journey to prove himself. And 'Anbu: Hidden Truths' reveals some long - hidden secrets about the Anbu organization.
Sakura's character often develops more strength and independence in Anbu - related fanfiction. She has to be self - reliant in the dangerous and secretive world of the Anbu.
Well, Kakashi could train Naruto in combat skills specific to ANBU missions. This would include more lethal and precise attacks. He might also teach Naruto how to use different types of weapons that are common in ANBU operations. Maybe Kakashi would set up mock battles where Naruto has to face multiple opponents at once, just like in real ANBU scenarios.
An Anbu character could have an arc where she is initially very confident in her abilities while wearing the mask. But then she loses her mask in a battle and has to face her opponents without the psychological boost it gives her. This makes her realize that she has been relying too much on the mask's symbolism and she has to build true inner strength.
I think Yamato could be a good choice too. His ability to control wood style could be really useful in the past. Maybe he could time - travel to help with the growth of the first trees in the ninja world or something like that. And his calm and collected nature would help him adapt to the new situation in the past.
Well, without having read the exact fanfiction, it might depict Sasuke and Sakura in the ANBU setting facing various challenges. It could explore how their skills as ANBU members are put to the test, and how their feelings for each other, whether it's friendship or something more, are affected by the high - stress and often secretive nature of ANBU work. They could be involved in undercover operations or battles against powerful enemies within the context of the ANBU.
