Perhaps a foreign ninja who comes to the Hidden Leaf Village. They bring with them the scythe - using techniques from their own land. This ninja could be on a mission to learn more about the chakra system in the Naruto world and in exchange, teach their scythe skills. Their different cultural background would add an interesting dynamic to the story as they interact with the local ninjas.
One potential character could be Sasuke. Imagine in a dark, alternate universe fanfic where Sasuke, instead of using his sword, wields a scythe. It could be a symbol of his more menacing and reclusive nature. He might use it with his Sharingan abilities, making his strikes not only powerful but also unpredictable as he can anticipate his opponents' moves.
Jiraiya could be an interesting assassin master. He already has a lot of knowledge and skills that he could pass on to Naruto in a more assassin - like way. His experience in espionage and combat would make him a great fit.
It could be a rogue ninja from a village that specializes in earth - style jutsus. Since futon techniques are weak against earth - style, this enemy would pose a significant threat to the Futon Master. They might target the Futon Master to steal their techniques or to prove the superiority of earth - style over futon - style.
One potential antagonist could be a rogue ninja who also specializes in bojutsu. He might be jealous of the main character's skills and tries to undermine him at every turn. Another option is a powerful villain from the Naruto universe who sees the bojutsu master as a threat to his plans.
A new character could be introduced as a Sharingan master. For example, a wandering ninja who has been secretly studying the Sharingan for years. He might have no allegiance to any village and travels around, looking for worthy pupils to inherit his knowledge. He could have unique techniques related to the Sharingan that no one has seen before.
It could be a rogue ninja who was once a student of the Hiraishin master but turned evil. They might have a twisted view of the technique and use it for their own selfish and harmful purposes, like stealing important artifacts from different villages.
Sasuke could be a rival. He's always been highly skilled and competitive. His Sharingan could potentially see through some of the henge master's henges, creating a constant challenge for the henge master to come up with more advanced henges.
One potential character could be Sasuke. He has always been highly skilled with weapons and his Sharingan would give him an edge in mastering knife techniques. He has the determination and the combat skills to be a great knife master in a fanfiction setting.
Sasuke could be a major rival. Since Sasuke also has strong fire - based abilities, he might see Naruto's growth as a Katon master as a challenge to his own skills. Another potential rival could be a new character introduced in the fanfiction, a prodigy from another village who is also focused on mastering Katon. There could also be older, more experienced ninja within the Leaf Village who might initially doubt Naruto's ability to be a true Katon master and thus become rivals in a sense as they test his skills.
There could be a jealous fellow ninja from within the village who feels that Naruto is getting too much attention for his blade - mastery. This ninja could turn against Naruto and become an antagonist, perhaps even teaming up with external forces. Also, an ancient evil entity that was sealed away long ago might be awakened by the power of Naruto's blade and seek to destroy him and the village to regain its freedom.
