What Could Happen to Naruto Namikaze in a Fanfiction Where He's Banished After Pein's Attack?

Maybe Naruto's connection to Pein through the Nine - Tails is misinterpreted. Since Pein was after the Nine - Tails, the village believes Naruto is a liability. Banished, Naruto wanders into a hidden land where he learns ancient ninja techniques that are far more powerful than what he knew. He could then return to the village as a changed and more powerful ninja, but with a sense of bitterness towards those who banished him.

One possible plot could be that Naruto is wrongly accused of something after the Pein attack. Maybe the village leaders believe false rumors that Naruto was in cahoots with Pein somehow. As a result, he is banished. He then goes on a journey to prove his innocence and in the process, he discovers new powers and allies. He might also encounter some of Pein's former followers who have their own motives and secrets related to what really happened during the attack.

One possibility is that Naruto's new 'godlike' powers after the Pain arc are seen as a threat by the village elders. They fear he might become uncontrollable, so they banish him. This could lead to Naruto exploring new lands, meeting new allies or enemies, and potentially finding a way to prove his worth and return.

It could be Danzo. He has always been suspicious of Naruto and might see this as an opportunity to get rid of him for good. He could spread false information to make the village turn against Naruto after the Pein attack.

It could be due to a curse. Maybe there is a long - forgotten curse placed on the Uzumaki clan, and Naruto accidentally triggers it. This curse slowly changes his nature and makes him more like Pein. His friends notice the changes but are initially powerless to stop it.

It could be the village elders. Since they banish Naruto, they could continue to be the main obstacle in his path. They might try to prevent him from coming back or try to eliminate him if they think he's a threat to their power and the village's stability.

One possible aspect of 'Naruto Namikaze Banished' fanfiction could be exploring Naruto's character development in this new and difficult situation. He would likely face many challenges being banished from his home. He might have to learn to survive on his own, find new allies, and perhaps even discover new powers or abilities.

One interesting plotline could be Naruto's struggle with PTSD after the Pein attack. He might have nightmares and flashbacks during his training or even in the middle of conversations, which could add a new layer of depth to his character.

Maybe a foreign princess. Naruto's journey after being banished could lead him to a neighboring kingdom. There, he meets the princess who is intrigued by his strength and kind heart. Despite the differences in their backgrounds, they fall in love. The princess might use her influence to help Naruto build a new life for himself, and they get married.

One of the themes that often pops up is the search for identity. Without the framework of Konoha, Naruto has to figure out who he really is. He might question his loyalties, his goals, and his values. Friendship is also a big theme. We might see how his true friends react to his banishment and if new friendships are formed on his journey.
