For Naruto, he could be developed by showing his growth in handling academic responsibilities. In college, he might struggle at first with things like time management and studying for exams. But as the story progresses, he learns to be more disciplined. Hinata, on the other hand, could be developed by showing her becoming more assertive. Maybe she starts to speak up more in class and participate in group projects, which is a big change from her shy self.
One idea could be that Naruto and Hinata are in the same college major, like art. Naruto is always trying to create the most out - there pieces, while Hinata is more reserved in her art. They get paired for a project and start to see each other in a new light. Another could be that they meet at a college sports event. Naruto is on the football team and Hinata is a cheerleader. They accidentally bump into each other and from there, a friendship that could turn into more begins.
Another type of antagonist could be a strict professor who doesn't like Naruto's carefree attitude and Hinata's association with him. The professor might try to give them a hard time, like assigning them extra difficult projects or being overly critical in class, which becomes an obstacle in their college life and relationship.
Another common theme is self - discovery. Both Naruto and Hinata are in a new phase of life in college. Hinata might discover her confidence away from her strict family upbringing, and Naruto could find new aspects of himself as he pursues his studies. In some fanfictions, they help each other in this journey of self - discovery.
One great Naruto Hinata college fanfiction is 'College Days with Naruto and Hinata'. It shows their journey in college, from being classmates to falling in love. The author beautifully portrays Hinata's shy nature and Naruto's exuberance in a college setting.
One possible plotline could be a story where Naruto has to choose between two versions of Hinata, the original Hinata and a version from an alternate RTN (Road to Ninja) universe. Maybe in this fanfiction, the different Hinatas have unique abilities or personalities that make Naruto's choice more difficult.
I really like 'Naruto and Hinata: Love in the Hidden Leaf'. In this fanfic, the author delves into the small moments between them that were often overlooked in the original series. It shows how Hinata's shy glances and Naruto's obliviousness gradually turn into a mutual understanding and love. Also, 'Hinata's Hope' is a good read. It starts with Hinata's perspective and how she dreams of a future with Naruto, and then the story unfolds to make that dream a reality.
Another plotline might involve Naruto being a bit of a slacker in college at first, while Hinata is a studious student. Hinata then tries to help Naruto improve his grades, and in the process, they start to fall for each other. It could include study sessions filled with some awkward but cute moments.
Love is a common theme. It could be about Naruto's love for Hinata in different forms, whether it's for the regular Hinata or the RTN Hinata. There might also be themes of self - discovery, as Hinata might learn new things about herself through her interactions with her alternate self.
In many Naruto x Hinata Hyuga fanfictions, their relationship is often explored in greater depth. Usually, it emphasizes Hinata's long - standing admiration for Naruto. Her shy yet determined love for him is a central theme. Writers might show how Naruto gradually realizes Hinata's true feelings and how their relationship evolves from friends to something more romantic.
