Love and acceptance are also vital. Naruto was shunned by many in the village at first. Hiruzen could show Naruto that he is loved and accepted just as he is. This would boost Naruto's self - confidence and make him more open to learning and growing. He could organize village events where Naruto is included and treated equally, which would gradually change the villagers' perception of Naruto as well.
In the fanfiction, Hiruzen might raise Naruto properly by providing a stable living environment. He could ensure Naruto has a decent place to live, enough food to eat, and warm clothes. This basic care is fundamental for Naruto's growth.
One key event could be Naruto's discovery of Orochimaru's plan to harm Hiruzen. This might prompt him to take immediate action.
Maybe Naruto is put in a situation where he feels that Hiruzen's way of handling things is the best option. For instance, if there is a major crisis in the village that requires a more traditional and experienced approach, Naruto might choose to act like Hiruzen. Also, he could be influenced by the stories he has heard about Hiruzen and wants to fill his shoes in a way.
In a 'naruto adopted by hiruzen fanfiction', the plot could involve Naruto having a closer bond with the older generation of shinobi. Hiruzen would surely introduce Naruto to his trusted comrades. Naruto could learn unique jutsu from them. Also, his growth as a ninja would be different. Instead of seeking attention through pranks, he might focus more on living up to Hiruzen's name. His relationship with Sasuke could also be affected. Maybe they would become rivals in a more positive way, with Naruto having a stronger sense of family and purpose because of Hiruzen's influence.
One interesting story could be about Hiruzen mentoring Naruto in some unique jutsu that was long forgotten. This would show a different side of their relationship, focusing on the transfer of knowledge from the old to the new generation.
Perhaps Hiruzen is being influenced by some dark force or a hidden group within the village. They convince him that Naruto, with the Nine - Tails inside him, is too dangerous to be left unchecked. So, Hiruzen, in a moment of weakness, decides to betray Naruto. He could secretly arrange for Naruto to be sent on dangerous missions alone with the intention of getting him killed. Naruto, being oblivious to this at first, later realizes what's going on and has to fight not only against external enemies but also against the betrayal of his own village leader.
In this fanfiction, perhaps Hiruzen realizes Naruto's potential much earlier and decides to train him privately. He might take Naruto on secret missions to build his experience and confidence. This would not only strengthen Naruto's skills but also their bond, which could have a huge impact on the village's future.
In a fanfiction where Naruto is trained by Hiruzen, Naruto would likely have a more traditional and disciplined training. Hiruzen could instill in Naruto the values and ethics of being a true shinobi from the very beginning. Since Hiruzen has seen many great shinobi in his time, he could mold Naruto into a shinobi similar to those of the past. This might mean Naruto would be more proficient in basic ninja skills like stealth and intelligence gathering. Also, his chakra control could be improved more rapidly under Hiruzen's guidance, which would enhance his overall combat capabilities.
The plot might involve Naruto learning about the history and politics of the village from Hiruzen. Since Hiruzen has a wealth of knowledge and experience, he could be guiding Naruto on how to be a great leader in the future, not just a powerful ninja.
Well, it could be about Hiruzen teaching Naruto all kinds of ninja skills from a young age. Maybe he also imparts wisdom and values to Naruto, which makes Naruto grow into a very different ninja compared to the original story. For example, Naruto might be more composed and less of a troublemaker in the village at first because of Hiruzen's strict yet loving upbringing.
