I would recommend 'Anbu Naruto: The Path of Growth'. It really focuses on how Naruto changes and matures as an Anbu member. His relationships with other Anbu agents are explored in depth, and you can see his values evolving as he faces different situations in the Anbu world.
The fanfic 'Best of Anbu Naruto: Character Progression' is also worth checking out. It details Naruto's progress in the Anbu not just in terms of his combat skills but also his mental and emotional growth. It weaves in his past experiences and how they shape his actions and decisions in the Anbu, making for a very character - driven story.
Another one is 'Naruto in Anbu: Character Rebirth'. This fanfiction shows Naruto in a new light within the Anbu. He has to adapt his personality and skills, and the story does an excellent job of showing how these changes affect his character overall. It's a great read if you're interested in seeing a different side of Naruto's development.
The character could start off being underestimated by others in the Anbu because of their blindness. But as they face various challenges and succeed, they gain respect. For instance, in a mission where they have to infiltrate an enemy base, they use their blindness to their advantage by being less detectable in the dark.
Naruto may learn to suppress his emotions better in ANBU fanfictions. This would be a big step for him as he is known for wearing his heart on his sleeve. Iruka, on the other hand, could become more strategic. He might start to think more like a true ANBU operative, planning several steps ahead. This would change his character from just a teacher to a more complex and capable ninja. Also, their bond could strengthen in the face of the more dangerous and secretive ANBU world as they rely on each other more.
For Naruto in Anbu, you could start with his initial brashness still showing but slowly being tempered by the strict Anbu code. As he interacts with Yugao, he starts to see things from a different perspective. Yugao, on the other hand, could start as a reserved and focused ninja. When she meets Naruto, his energy starts to break down her walls. You can show their development through their conversations and how they react to different situations together.
When writing their character development, consider the challenges they face. Naruto in the Anbu has a dark side to his work that Ino may not understand at first. Have Ino be curious and try to understand Naruto's world, which in turn makes Naruto more willing to open up. For Ino, have her face some self - doubt in her ninja abilities, and Naruto's belief in her can boost her confidence. Their relationship should be a two - way street where they both evolve based on their interactions and the situations they encounter together.
One that stands out is 'Evil Naruto: Reborn'. Here, Naruto's character development is complex. His rebirth gives him a new perspective, and as he becomes evil, you see how his relationships with other characters are affected. It shows a complete transformation of his character from the Naruto we know to a completely different, evil entity.
His character could become more jaded. In the ANBU, Naruto would have seen a lot of the darker side of the ninja world. He might be less naive and more calculating. For example, he would be more hesitant to trust people immediately like he used to.
One great 'Naruto Anbu Fanfiction' is 'The Anbu's Redemption'. It delves deep into the lives of Anbu members outside of their missions, showing their personal struggles. Another is 'Anbu in the Shadows', which focuses on a new Anbu recruit and his journey to prove himself. And 'Anbu: Hidden Truths' reveals some long - hidden secrets about the Anbu organization.
Well, in a fanfiction where Naruto joins ANBU, his training would intensify. He'd be trained by some of the toughest ANBU veterans. His skills in combat would become more refined as he'd learn to use weapons like kunai and shuriken with more precision. He may also develop new jutsu that are more suitable for covert operations. His growth as a ninja would be different from the regular path, focusing more on secrecy and assassination if required.
One popular 'Naruto is an Anbu' fanfiction is 'The Anbu Naruto' series. It delves deep into Naruto's life as an Anbu member, showing his growth and the challenges he faces in this secretive part of the ninja world.
Another interesting one is 'ANBU Naruto and Ino: A New Chapter'. It focuses on how Naruto and Ino's characters grow within the ANBU. Naruto's determination and Ino's intelligence shine as they take on missions that are crucial for the village. The story also delves into their personal growth and how their relationship evolves in this high - stress environment.
