Orochimaru could also be a character to beat up Naruto in a fanfic. He's always been interested in the power of the Nine - Tails and Naruto as a whole. He might see an opportunity to capture Naruto and in the process, end up beating him up to subdue him.
Sasuke could be one. Given their complex relationship, there could be a situation where Sasuke's newfound power or different ideology leads him to fight and beat Naruto in a fan - made story.
Well, maybe Naruto uses his unwavering determination and quick - thinking skills. He could have some unexpected moves that catch Shikaku off - guard, just like how he surprises his opponents in battles in the Naruto series.
I think it's a toss-up. Deku has potential and is constantly evolving, but Naruto's strength and strategic thinking give him an edge. It could come down to the specific circumstances of the fight.
No, it's not really possible to completely beat it. Yaoi fanfic has a dedicated fan base, and as long as there are people interested in that genre, it will exist. However, its popularity can be reduced.
An awkward beat might happen when a new character is introduced into an established group in a Harry Potter fanfic. The existing characters might not know how to react, and there's that moment of hesitation. It could be a foreign wizard who has different customs. This moment can be a great opportunity for the author to explore cultural differences within the wizarding world and how characters adapt or not to new situations.
Another approach is to engage in discussions about the importance of diverse storylines. Point out that while yaoi fanfic has its place, there are so many other great themes and relationships that can be explored in fanfiction. Encourage fans to explore these other areas by highlighting the unique aspects of non - yaoi stories, such as complex character development in a platonic relationship or an epic adventure plot that doesn't revolve around romantic relationships at all.
One factor could be a new and extremely powerful jutsu. For instance, if Naruto creates a jutsu that combines the power of the Nine - Tails and Sage Mode in a way that Jiraiya can't defend against. Another could be an unexpected advantage like having insider knowledge about Jiraiya's weaknesses. Maybe he learned something from Tsunade that gives him an upper hand.
