Yes, in some fanfictions, Naruto can be a member of Root. Writers often like to explore different storylines and character alignments, and making Naruto a part of Root can lead to very interesting plot twists and character development.
One great 'Naruto Root Ninja' fanfiction is 'The Root's Hidden Truth'. It delves deep into the secrets of the Root organization, exploring the backstories of its members in a very engaging way. The characters are well - developed and it adds a whole new layer of intrigue to the Naruto universe.
Well, loyalty is a big theme. Some fanfictions explore the extreme loyalty demanded by Root and what happens when that loyalty is tested. Rebellion is also common. Characters in the fanfictions may rebel against Root's strict and often immoral orders. And there's the theme of identity. Characters within Root often struggle with their identity as part of a shadowy organization compared to their own individual selves. For example, in some stories, a Root member may start to question who they really are outside of their role in Root. This can lead to some very interesting character development and plot twists.
A great fanfiction is 'Danzo's True Legacy in Root'. It portrays Danzo in a more sympathetic light. It tells the story of how Root was originally founded to protect the village from threats that the regular shinobi forces couldn't handle. And Naruto, through his own journey of understanding the darker side of the village, comes to realize that there was some good in what Danzo was trying to do, and he helps to reshape Root into a more positive force.
One interesting plotline could be Naruto being secretly trained by ROOT members to become a super - efficient ninja. He might learn unique jutsu and espionage techniques.
The plot is crucial. A good fanfiction might have a plot that involves uncovering the secrets of Root. It could show how Danzo's actions, although controversial, were part of a bigger plan for the village's survival. For instance, in a fic, Naruto could be on a mission to discover the truth about Root and in the process, he has to face his own prejudices. This kind of plot keeps the readers engaged as they are eager to know what the real deal with Root and Danzo is.
One implication is that it can change Naruto's relationships. He might be more isolated as Root operates in secrecy. For example, his friends in the original story might not trust him as much.
Naruto's character could develop in a more complex way. Killing is not something he takes lightly, so he might struggle with guilt afterwards. This could make him more somber and less naive. For instance, he might question his own values and what it means to protect the village.
Well, Naruto is a given. Then there could be Orochimaru as well. In some fanfictions, Orochimaru has ties to ROOT in some way. He could be working with them secretly or Naruto could be sent to investigate Orochimaru by ROOT. This would create a really complex dynamic between Naruto, ROOT, and Orochimaru, with Naruto having to navigate through all these different relationships and loyalties.
One great Naruto Root fanfiction is 'The Root's New Path'. It shows a different take on the Root organization, with some of its members breaking away from Danzo's harsh ideology. Another one could be 'Root's Redemption' which focuses on how the Root members might seek atonement for their past deeds. There's also 'Inside Root' that gives an in - depth look into the inner workings and politics within the Root organization.
