He might meet Iruka first. Iruka was always like a father figure to Naruto, and it would be a very heartwarming reunion. Iruka would probably be one of the first people to welcome Naruto back with open arms.
The plot could involve Naruto coming back to the Leaf Village to fulfill a prophecy. He may have discovered something during his travels that made him realize he has a crucial role to play in the village's future. Along the way, he could face challenges from within the village, like some people being skeptical of his newfound knowledge or power. But through his determination and the bonds he has with his friends, he overcomes these obstacles and helps the village thrive.
He would most likely meet his father, Minato Namikaze, and his mother, Kushina Uzumaki. These are the two main family members he never really got to know growing up.
It could be Sakura. She has been Naruto's friend for a long time. She would be excited to see him return. They might share a heartfelt reunion, and Sakura could tell Naruto about the medical advancements in the realm while also asking about his adventures away.
Kagura might interact with Sakura. Sakura, being a strong - willed and intelligent kunoichi, could offer her medical expertise to Kagura if she returned injured. Or they could have a girl - to - girl talk about their respective journeys in the ninja world.
There's a good chance he meets Kakashi first. Kakashi was his mentor and they have a strong bond. Kakashi might be out on a mission near the place where Naruto returns, or just be around the village doing his usual thing like reading his book at the training ground.
The important characters in 'Naruto Returns to the Village Fanfic' would surely include Naruto. Then there are his closest friends and allies. Hinata could be there, and their relationship might be further explored. The elders of the village could also be important as they might have different reactions to Naruto's return. Some might be welcoming, while others might be skeptical. And the new generation of shinobi, like Boruto's friends if it's set in that time frame, could look up to Naruto and be influenced by his return.
In the fanfic, Naruto could build the village by first establishing a set of rules and values that everyone can follow. Then, he'd probably use his connections. For example, he could ask his friends and allies from different villages to send resources or experts in construction. He might also use his own knowledge of the Leaf village's layout and infrastructure to create a similar but unique village. He'd ensure there are places for families to live, shops for trading, and of course, ninja training facilities. This way, the new village can thrive and be self - sufficient.
Well, in this fanfiction, Kagura might be welcomed back with mixed emotions. Some might be overjoyed to see her return, while others could be suspicious of her motives. Maybe she brings back new jutsu or knowledge from her time away.
Maybe it's to protect the village. He could discover a threat that he can only face away from the Leaf Village, to keep the danger from directly reaching his home and loved ones. He leaves as a form of self - sacrifice.
Naruto could respond with anger at first. He has given so much to the Leaf Village, and this betrayal would be like a slap in the face. However, his kind heart might also make him wonder if there is a misunderstanding. So, he could start by trying to communicate with the villagers he trusts. If that fails, he might leave the village for a while to get stronger and then come back to confront those who wronged him.
