One interesting concept could be the idea of Naruto having a past life as a powerful ninja from an ancient clan. Maybe he had different jutsu or abilities that he unknowingly carried over into his current life.
Perhaps in this fanfiction, Naruto remembers a past life where he was part of a different ninja clan. This could lead to him having skills or knowledge that no one in the current Naruto universe has. For example, he might remember a unique jutsu from his past life and try to recreate it in his present life. He could also struggle with the identity crisis of feeling like he belongs to two different worlds or identities.
Naruto's character develops by becoming more self - aware. With past life memories, he understands his own strengths and weaknesses better. He might realize that some of his impulsive behavior is a carry - over from his past life's more head - strong nature. This new self - awareness helps him make better decisions in battles and in his relationships.
One interesting concept could be how Naruto's past life memories change his relationships. For example, if he remembered being a great warrior in his past life, he might approach his training with Sasuke differently, seeing it as more of a friendly rivalry between two equals from different lifetimes. Another concept could be how his past life knowledge affects his view of the ninja world. Maybe he has memories of different forms of chakra usage that were lost in the current era, which could lead to him revolutionizing the way ninjas fight.
Some fanfictions might have a plot where Naruto remembers a past life as a normal person in a non - ninja world. This would create an interesting contrast as he tries to adapt his ninja skills and values in a world that has no concept of chakra or jutsus. He could use his ninja knowledge to solve normal world problems in unique ways. Or, perhaps he remembers a past life as an enemy of the ninja world. This internal conflict between his current self who is a hero and his past self who was an antagonist could be a major plot point. He would struggle with the memories and the urge to not repeat the mistakes of his past life.
Naruto himself is obviously a central character. His past life is the main focus, so he's always there. Then there's Sasuke. Writers often involve him because of his strong connection with Naruto. Their relationship in the present might be influenced by events in Naruto's past life.
Perhaps a powerful figure in the Naruto world who senses Naruto's newfound memories and abilities from his past life and sees him as a threat. This could be a rogue ninja or even a hidden power within the ninja villages. They might try to stop Naruto from fully exploring and using his past - life powers.
With Sasuke, Naruto's past - life memories could have a huge impact. If he remembers a past life where they were either enemies or allies in a different context, it would change the way they interact. For example, if they were bitter enemies in the past life, Naruto might be more cautious around Sasuke, but also more determined to change their current relationship for the better. And when it comes to his relationship with the village, the villagers might view him differently. They could be either more in awe of him if his past life was of a great hero, or more suspicious if his past was somehow associated with a dark past.
Naruto has been through a lot in his own time, so he may use that experience to adapt to the past. He might start by making friends with the younger versions of people he knows. He'll also have to be careful not to reveal too much about the future to avoid disrupting the timeline. He could use his ninja skills to earn respect and find his place in the past world.
