In the fanfiction where Naruto is abused by his father, how does it affect Naruto's character development?

Well, it would likely make him more withdrawn. Naruto already faced a lot of hatred from the village. If his parents hated him too, he might become more distrustful. He might also be more desperate for any form of acceptance.

Naruto's haircut can be a sign of his maturing. A new haircut in fanfiction might show that he's leaving his old, more impulsive self behind.

It would toughen him up. Naruto would have to face the world on his own terms. He would develop a thick skin and not be easily discouraged. His view of family would be different too. Instead of having a traditional family upbringing, he would create his own 'family' with his friends. This would show his ability to adapt and find love and support in unexpected places. And his ninja skills might develop faster as he has to fight for his own survival from an early age.

It can make him more introspective. He might start to question his self - worth. Since Sakura's rejection hits him hard, he could look inward to figure out what's wrong with him or why he isn't good enough for her.

It can make him more self - reliant. Since he's neglected, he has to figure things out on his own. He might become more determined to prove himself, not just to his team but to the whole village. This could lead to a more independent and strong - willed Naruto, less likely to rely on others' approval.

It would be a huge blow to his character. Naruto's whole identity is somewhat tied to becoming Hokage. If he's denied, he could go through a period of self - doubt. However, this could also lead to him exploring other aspects of his life. Maybe he starts to focus more on teaching the next generation of ninja, passing on his skills and values even without the Hokage title, which in turn could give him a new sense of purpose.

The abuse can also make him more empathetic. Harry has known pain, and in this situation, he could use that pain to better understand others who are suffering. This could lead to him becoming a champion for the underdog in the wizarding world, using his experiences to fight against all forms of injustice.

Naruto's heartbreak can make him more cynical. He was always an optimist in his original story, but in the DxD fanfiction, the heartbreak could chip away at his positive outlook. He might start to question the motives of others more often.

The fear could also make him question his own identity as a ninja. If he is afraid of ninjas, does that mean he is also afraid of what he is? This internal conflict would be a major part of his character development. He would have to face his fear, understand the true nature of being a ninja, and decide whether he wants to continue on the ninja path or find an alternative way of life.

Well, with a lightning affinity, Naruto might become more focused. In many fanfictions, he has to train hard to master the lightning - based jutsu. This training instills discipline in him. For example, he has to learn precise chakra control, which is different from his normal brute - force style. This change in his training approach can lead to a more well - rounded character. He also might attract different kinds of enemies and allies. Some might be drawn to his unique power, while others might see him as a threat and target him. All these interactions shape his character further.
