Naruto's avoidance can be a catalyst for character development. For Sakura, she might become more independent and stronger, realizing she can't always rely on Naruto. Sasuke could also be forced to re - evaluate his relationship with Naruto and his own goals. The overall plot could shift from a focus on Team 7 as a united front to individual character arcs as they each deal with Naruto's absence in different ways.
It can create a lot of tension. For example, the team members might be confused and try to figure out why Naruto is avoiding them. This can lead to internal conflict within Team 7. They might start to doubt themselves or their relationships.
The plot could take a whole new direction. Without Naruto, Team 7 might have to find new ways to complete missions or deal with threats. It might also lead to the introduction of new characters who fill the void left by Naruto. Maybe a new character steps in to help Sasuke and Sakura, and this new character changes the power dynamics within the group. And if Naruto is avoiding them because of a misunderstanding, it can be a long - drawn - out process of the team trying to resolve it, which can keep the readers engaged throughout the story.
It can make the story less focused on sexual elements. Since Sakura avoids Sasuke in these types of fanfiction, it might shift the focus away from inappropriate relationships. For instance, the story could then explore other aspects of the Naruto universe like the friendships between other characters.
It changes the direction of the story significantly. Usually, Team 7 is a united front, but with Naruto's lack of trust, it becomes a more complex and often darker narrative. There could be more internal battles within the team rather than just fighting external enemies. This can also lead to alliances being formed in different ways. For example, Naruto might form temporary alliances with other characters outside of Team 7 to achieve his goals or to protect himself from what he perceives as threats from his own team.
It can create a lot of tension. The team dynamic is a big part of the Naruto story, so when Naruto ignores them, it throws everything off balance. The other members of Team 7, like Sasuke and Sakura, will have to react to this. They might try to find out what's wrong with Naruto or they could also become angry with him.
The plot could take a darker turn. Without Naruto in the team, the team might struggle to complete important missions. This could lead to negative consequences for the village, like losing territory or influence. For instance, if the team was supposed to protect a key trade route and fails without Naruto.
Naruto snapping at Team 7 can split the group. This split could lead to different story arcs for each character. Maybe Naruto goes off on his own adventure and Team 7 has to continue their mission without him. As they each face different challenges, their growth and development are affected, and this can completely change the direction of the story. Also, it can attract the attention of antagonists. If the team is in disarray because of Naruto's outburst, villains might see it as an opportunity to attack.
If Naruto is Bella's brother in this fanfiction, it could completely rewrite the Twilight saga. His upbringing in the Hidden Leaf Village would give him a different perspective. He might introduce some of the ninja concepts like chakra to the Twilight world. His relationship with Bella would also mean that he'd be involved in her love story with Edward, perhaps trying to understand Edward's motives more deeply or even challenging him to prove his love for Bella.
Sasuke might become more withdrawn. He was always in a sort of rivalry with Naruto, and without Naruto there, he could lose some of his motivation to get stronger. Sakura would be devastated. She cared about Naruto, and his leaving would make her question what went wrong. Kakashi would also feel a sense of failure as a teacher.
It can create a lot of drama. The relationship between Hinata and Naruto was something that many fans were rooting for, so when Hinata rejects Naruto, it can shock the readers and lead to a lot of emotional turmoil in the story. This can keep the readers engaged as they wonder how Naruto will react and if there's any chance for them to get back together.
In a Naruto - replaces - Itachi fanfiction scenario, the plot would change significantly. Naruto's presence instead of Itachi would mean a different set of actions and reactions. Naruto is known for his determination and his ability to make friends. So, he could potentially form alliances that Itachi would not have. This could change the balance of power among the different ninja villages. Also, Naruto's different fighting style and abilities would make battles play out in new ways, which would then impact the overall plot direction.
If Naruto is disqualified, it can create a major plot twist. It might change the direction of the story completely. For example, his team might have to find a new way to succeed without him, leading to new character developments and relationships. His friends might start to doubt the fairness of the system that disqualified him and could go on a quest to prove his innocence.
