One possible reason could be in the realm of artistic interpretation in the fanfiction. The author might want to explore a different aesthetic or a unique plot where Naruto has some physical or behavioral traits similar to Orochimaru for shock value or to create a new kind of character dynamic.
Yes, in some fanfictions Naruto can be depicted as a prodigy similar to Orochimaru. Fanfic writers often take creative liberties to show Naruto with Orochimaru - like intelligence and skills in areas like jutsu creation or rapid learning of advanced techniques. This can make for very interesting and unique storylines.
In fanfiction, Naruto might be shown as having a similar thirst for knowledge as Orochimaru. He could be constantly seeking out new jutsus and ways to improve his skills, just like Orochimaru was always interested in expanding his power through knowledge.
His friends would be very confused and probably worried. They know Orochimaru as a dangerous and untrustworthy person. So, if Naruto starts acting like him, they might think something is seriously wrong with Naruto. For example, Sasuke, who has his own history with Orochimaru, would be extremely suspicious and might even turn against Naruto for a while.
Well, it often delves deeper into Orochimaru's character. In the original Naruto, he's a bit of an enigma. Fanfiction can give more backstory and motives. For instance, his obsession with immortality could be explored more fully.
It makes Naruto seem more mysterious. Since Orochimaru is a rather enigmatic and often villainous character, Naruto looking like him in the fanfiction gives him an air of mystery that he doesn't typically have in the original series. People reading the fanfiction might start to question Naruto's true nature.
Yes, there are quite a few. You can start by looking on fanfiction.net. There are stories that explore Orochimaru's past in more detail, his motives, and his relationships with other characters in ways that the original Naruto series might not have fully covered.
The relationship could be very complex. Orochimaru might still have his devious side, but with Naruto as his friend, he would try to control it. Naruto would be the moral compass for Orochimaru. They could have deep conversations about life, power, and the ninja way. Naruto might even convince Orochimaru to rejoin the village, and Orochimaru would be like a secret weapon for the village, with Naruto being the only one who can truly trust him. They would support each other in battles, with Naruto's brute strength and Orochimaru's cunning strategies.
A possible plotline could be Orochimaru's redemption. He realizes the error of his ways and joins Naruto in protecting the ninja world. He could use his vast knowledge of jutsu and forbidden arts to help Naruto against new threats.
Well, in a fanfiction where Naruto is adopted by Orochimaru, Naruto's ninja way would be severely distorted. Orochimaru is a power - hungry and somewhat amoral character. He would influence Naruto's values. Naruto might start to believe that the ends justify the means when it comes to achieving power. His training would be much harsher and more dangerous compared to what he had in Konoha. He may even be sent on some morally ambiguous missions. And his growth as a ninja would be a strange blend of Orochimaru's ruthlessness and his own natural tenacity.
It would be really strange. Naruto is known for his positive and sunny personality, while Orochimaru is dark and devious. A fanfiction might explore how Naruto would struggle with his father's bad reputation. Maybe Naruto would try to change Orochimaru's ways or be conflicted about his own identity.
