In this fanfiction, Naruto finds himself in a parallel universe where his parents are not only alive but also play a significant role in his life. There are new adventures and challenges as he navigates this changed reality.
The relationship would be very different. Instead of being an orphan, Naruto would have his parents around for all the important moments in his life. Minato could teach him about being a Hokage from an early age, and Kushina could give him the motherly love and advice. There would be a strong family bond. Naruto would be more confident in his abilities because he has his father, a great ninja, to guide him. And he would have a more stable emotional state with his mother's care.
The plot could be centered around fem Naruto growing up with her parents' love. She might not face the same level of discrimination as in the original story. For example, her father Minato could introduce her to important people in the village early on. Her mother Kushina could teach her how to handle her long hair in combat, which could be a unique aspect of fem Naruto. They could also travel together as a family to other villages for diplomatic missions, which would be a different experience compared to Naruto's lonely journey in the original series.
His character development would be different in that he'd have a stronger sense of family. Since his parents are alive, he has a more complete family unit. Their muteness would make him more protective of them. He'd learn patience earlier on, as communicating with mute parents can be a slow process at times. This new - found patience would spill over into his ninja training, allowing him to master difficult techniques more easily. He might also be less of a show - off, as his focus would be more on his family's well - being rather than seeking attention from the village.
One possible scenario in such a fanfiction could be that Naruto's parents are preoccupied with their shinobi duties. They might be constantly on missions for the Hidden Leaf Village, leaving Naruto at home with caretakers who don't really pay him much attention. This could lead to Naruto feeling lonely and isolated, just as he did in the original story when he thought he had no family.
A possible plot could be that Naruto discovers that his parents' neglect is due to a secret they are keeping from him. They might be protecting him from a greater threat by staying away from him, but Naruto misinterprets it as neglect. As he digs deeper into the mystery, he uncovers the truth and has to decide whether to forgive his parents or not. This would add a lot of drama and emotional turmoil to the story.
One common plot point is that Naruto uses his future knowledge to protect his parents. For example, he might know about an upcoming attack on the village and warn his father, Minato. Another is that he gets to experience a normal family life, which he never had in his original timeline. This often leads to a change in his personality, as he becomes more confident and less of an outcast. Also, Naruto usually tries to change the future for the better, like preventing the deaths of some of his friends or making the village stronger against future threats.
The plot could be that Harry's parents are in a magically-induced coma. The Dursleys are tasked with looking after Harry until a cure can be found. Harry might feel a sense of isolation as he is with the Dursleys but constantly thinking about his parents. He could start to show early signs of magic, which terrifies the Dursleys even more, but also gives him hope that he can somehow use his powers to wake his parents up.
A potential plot development might be that Voldemort, upon hearing that the Potters are alive, would be enraged and try to attack them again. This would lead to a new series of battles and challenges for Harry and his parents. They would have to work together to fight off Voldemort and his followers. Also, Harry's parents could help him unlock new magical abilities or knowledge that he didn't have access to before because they are more experienced wizards.
He would be more confident. Growing up with his parents' love and presence would mean he doesn't have to constantly seek validation. So he might be less brash and more self - assured from the start.
The impact would be huge. For one, all of Naruto's friends like Sasuke and Sakura would be devastated. Their whole world view which was centered around Naruto's positive influence would be shattered. Also, the village of Konoha would lose its greatest hope for the future. Naruto was seen as the one to bring about change and peace, so without him, the village might descend into chaos or be more vulnerable to outside threats.
