Well, one big change could be in his self - confidence. Naruto already has a lot, but becoming a Jounin is a huge accomplishment. He'll probably be more self - assured in his abilities, which could lead to him taking on more challenging missions. Also, his relationships with his friends might shift a bit. They'll see him in a new light as a higher - ranked ninja, and he'll have to balance his new status with his old friendships.
With Iruka, Naruto's relationship might change in that Iruka will be even prouder of him. Naruto will still look up to Iruka, but now he'll be in a position to share his experiences as a high - ranking ninja with Iruka. Iruka might also ask Naruto for advice on how to better train the new generation of ninja.
Naruto could also be tasked with training a new generation of ninja. Since he has his own unique style of fighting and a lot of experience, he would be a great mentor. He might teach them his signature rasengan or how to better control their chakra.
His relationship with Sakura might become more of an equal partnership. Since he is now a jounin, she would respect his new rank and they could collaborate on medical - ninja and combat - related missions more effectively.
Clothing changes can also represent his emotional state. If he's wearing something more somber and dark, it might indicate a period of self - reflection or dealing with a difficult situation. For example, after a major battle where he loses a friend, he could change into all - black clothes as a sign of mourning.
Well, we can anticipate a lot. For one, Sakura will likely use her own skills and experiences to guide her students. Since she's strong in medical ninjutsu, she could teach that. Also, her character development might be further explored as she has to deal with different personalities among her students. And there could be interesting interactions with other jounin teachers too.
Naruto becoming a Jounin might make Sasuke re - evaluate their relationship. He might see Naruto in a new light, as someone who has achieved a lot and is now a respected figure in the village. This could lead to a more stable and understanding relationship between them. Maybe Sasuke would be more open to working with Naruto on things like protecting the village and training the next generation of ninjas.
By showing Naruto's study of Kakashi's battle strategies. For example, if he starts analyzing how Kakashi uses his Sharingan in combat and then tries to incorporate similar observational skills into his own fighting style. This would show his growth as a ninja and his determination to be like Kakashi.
In this fanfiction, Naruto's character development might involve him learning to balance his power with his new - found age - related wisdom. He might not be as impulsive as he was in the original story. Instead, he could use his experience to analyze situations better. For instance, when facing a powerful enemy, he would not just rush in but consider the safety of the Rookie 9 and the long - term consequences for the village. His growth would also be seen in how he imparts his values and skills to the younger generation, shaping them into better ninjas and people.
If Naruto gets magic in fanfiction, it would likely make him more confident. Having new powers would give him an edge in battles, and he'd feel more capable of achieving his goals. For example, if he could use magic to heal quickly, he'd be less worried about getting injured in fights. This newfound confidence could also change how he interacts with his friends. He might be more assertive in leading them.
His character would become more secretive. Instead of being the open - hearted Naruto we know, he'd have to keep things to himself. For instance, he couldn't share all his thoughts and experiences with his friends right away.
