In fanfiction, it's possible for Naruto to be stronger than Goku. Fanfic writers often tweak the power levels and rules of the characters' universes. For example, if the fanfic writer decides to nerf Goku's Saiyan abilities while enhancing Naruto's Sage Mode and all his ninja skills to an extreme level, Naruto could end up being stronger.
In some fanfics, Naruto can be made stronger than Goku. Fanfic writers have the freedom to manipulate the power levels and abilities of characters. They can give Naruto new and overpowered abilities that surpass Goku's. However, in the original canon of their respective series, Goku has extremely high power levels and abilities that are on a different scale.
One reason could be the variety of his abilities. Naruto has a whole range of jutsu like the Rasengan and Shadow Clone Jutsu. In fanfiction, these could be made extremely powerful. For instance, if his clones could multiply infinitely and each had the power of the original, that would be a huge advantage.
One thing could be unique chakra abilities. If in a fanfic, Naruto discovers a new form of chakra that gives him unlimited power, he could be stronger. For example, a chakra that can nullify all energy - based attacks like Goku's ki blasts.
In some fanfictions, Gohan and Goku might have a series of conversations that open up new levels of understanding between them. Gohan could share his thoughts and feelings about his life and future, and Goku would listen and offer his own insights. This kind of communication can really strengthen their bond.
In such fanfictions, Goku might develop by becoming more of a mentor to Gohan. He could teach Gohan new fighting moves and also how to control his emotions better during battles.
In a Gohan x Goku fanfic, their relationship can be delved into by creating scenarios where they have to rely on each other completely. For example, if they are in a situation where Goku's strength and Gohan's intelligence are both required to escape. Their different personalities can also be highlighted. Goku's carefree nature contrasted with Gohan's more studious and responsible side. And of course, flashbacks to Gohan's childhood and how Goku's presence or absence affected him can add depth to their relationship.
