Questionable Questing

I can't remember where I head it but one of the favorite lines I've heard someone say about naruto, is that if he wasn't so aggressively stupid and nice, he would've grown up to be Griffith. And the idea of a Naruto turning into someone like that just sounds like a lot of fun. I mean jesus in canon he already had the charisma to make a cult. He just needs the intelligence and ruthlessness.

Kurama helps raise Naruto into a suave criminal hellbent on taking over the village?

I don't think you have to really change that much. Fundamentally Naruto wants to be hokage because he wants respect from other people and thus a family he can love and trust. If he grew up next to a "honorable" and kind Yakuza everyone feared and loved. Or if he joined a small street gang and found love and acceptance with some fellow outcasts, that's all it would take to change his course.

I like. Kurama as partners in crime? Do a different take on their relationship together. Kurama former lover of Kurama or Kurama's essence merged with Kurama and now Naruto's mom is inside him?

Kushina and Minto's essence is slowly dissolving and combining with Kurma sounds pretty cool. I was kind of thinking of that one Jojo with the really good theme who wants to become a Mafia boss since his family was saved by one as the character arc but that works too.

Really cool theme.

Naruto bringing in Sakura and Sasuke in as his whores?

Very jazzy heavy theme. I like

Some of the best music in the entire series. It's a toss up between this and Kiara's theme over which is my favorite.

Kira's theme

I like the other one better. Has more zap to it.

The other one is the hero after all and Kiara's a villain.

But with Naruto, keeping with the Griffith theme I'm really liking the idea that his harem or wives or whatever, are locked away and restricted from leaving his castle or house. Kind of show how he's selfishly hording the things he loves only for himself.

A gilded cage arranagement? I like this. Go on

The idea was a cold open into Naruto's harem with all the classic girls, Tsunade, Hinta, Sakura, whoever. And they are all sitting around laughing and playing with each other in anticipation as they wait for naruto to come home. Set it up as one of those stereotypical overpowered Naruto stories complete with betrayal by Kohna or whoever.

But through it all add ways to raise the tension just a little bit. The girls are alone. The girls mention how their servants have been rotated and that Naruto suspects a traitor. Have them mention the politics a couple times at that while Naruto has conquered the world he still faces resistance and guerrilla groups he's being forced to travel around and put down.

Then he shows up. This is the end game Naruto who's emperor of the world and has his harem. He's supernaturally beautiful and strong and his girls all universally bow in his presence, needing permission to even look at him. Then show him relax and laugh or joke around with them, love them. Show that he's only ever himself when he's around them.

So Naruto has already won and the real conflict and meat of the tale is the aftermath's politics and the girl's different accounts of how he got there and what sides of him they have seen.

Make the reader like Naruto and get comfortable but then realize the girls live in a sex dungeon mansion and can't leave. Forced to breed as he wishes and milked and toyed with as he "asks"

Interspaced with flashbacks and memories of how he got there like you said and also how his personality and goals changed over time. As well as a bit of a murder mystery sub plot when it's revealed one of his wives is a traitor. Really get the chance to see Naruto at his lowest lashing out in fear and paranoia and how his girls go along or enable it.
