His character growth could also be shaped by the experiences that come with using magic young. He might have to hide his magic more carefully from the Dursleys, which would make him more secretive. This secrecy could spill over into his Hogwarts life, making it harder for him to trust others completely at first. But as he realizes the importance of sharing and teamwork, he would gradually open up and grow into a more well - rounded person.
It can make him more confident. Using magic early gives him a sense of power and control in a world where he has often felt powerless. This new - found confidence might lead him to be more assertive in his actions and decisions.
It also makes Naruto empathetic. Because he has been through so much struggle alone, he can understand the pain and loneliness of others. When he meets people like Gaara, who also had a difficult childhood, he can immediately relate to them. This empathy helps him in forging alliances and bringing people together, which is important for his goal of becoming Hokage and uniting the village.
In fanfiction, Harry's upbringing in the orphanage might make him more self - reliant. He has to fend for himself without much support, so he could be more independent and cautious. For example, he might be used to hiding his true feelings and thoughts to avoid trouble from the orphanage staff or other kids.
It can make him more of a physical combatant. Instead of relying solely on his wand, he becomes more hands - on. This can show a more assertive side of Harry.
In the fanfic, growing up in the red light district might make Naruto more street - smart. He'd have to learn quickly to survive in such a rough environment. He may become more empathetic towards those who are also struggling, as he has seen the hardships up close.
Maybe Harry's magic gives his cousin a sense of security. If the cousin was always in some kind of danger, Harry could use magic to keep him safe. This would make the cousin less fearful and more adventurous. He could start to explore the world around him more, knowing that Harry has his back with magic. In addition, the cousin might develop an interest in magic himself, which could change his whole perspective on life.
In canon, Harry grows up in England. If he lives in Canada from a young age, he won't have the same experiences at Hogwarts in England. For example, he might attend a different wizarding school in Canada, with different house systems and teaching methods.
One potential consequence could be early detection by the Ministry of Magic. In the original series, under - age magic is closely monitored. So in fanfiction, this might lead to Harry getting into trouble with the authorities much sooner. He could face warnings or even expulsion threats from Hogwarts if the school finds out.
Well, being abandoned at a young age in fanfiction would likely make Naruto more distrustful at first. He might be overly cautious around new people, always expecting to be left behind again. This would be a big change from his canon self who is so eager to make friends. It could also make him more self - reliant, having to fend for himself from a young age.
His origin story shapes his character in many ways. Since he was a mercenary before the experiment and then had his life turned upside down, he has a very cynical view of the world. The fact that he was so desperate for a cure and ended up with a messed - up face and a healing factor made him both bitter and determined. He uses humor to hide his pain, which is a big part of his character. And his origin as part of Weapon X also means he has a connection to other mutants and super - powered beings, which affects how he interacts with the world around him.
When Harry leaves the Dursleys in fanfiction, it can be a turning point in his emotional growth. He may start to deal with his past traumas more directly. He could also become more empathetic towards others who have had difficult family situations. His experiences outside of the Dursleys' home can shape him into a more well - rounded and complex character, with a better understanding of the world around him and his place in it.
