The plot could also explore how Naruto's relationship with the Akatsuki would be different. Since Hanzo had his own history with the Akatsuki, Naruto, being raised by Hanzo, might have a more nuanced view of the organization. He could potentially try to reform it from within or have a different approach to dealing with its members, rather than the more confrontational stance he had in the original series.
One possible plot could be that Naruto grows up with Hanzo's strict and combat - focused training. He might learn unique jutsu and combat strategies from Hanzo early on. This could make Naruto a more battle - hardened ninja at a young age, with a different outlook on the ninja world compared to his canon self.
In a 'Naruto raised by Hanzo' fanfiction, the story could involve Naruto being taught Hanzo's view of leadership. Hanzo was known for his leadership in Amegakure. Naruto might inherit some of those leadership qualities and use them to bring about change in a different way than in the original story. Maybe he would focus more on uniting the smaller villages first under his leadership, inspired by Hanzo's past actions.
In such a fanfiction, the plot could involve Naruto finding Hanzo in a weakened state and initially trying to help him. But due to some misunderstandings or external threats, Naruto is forced to leave Hanzo behind. This could lead to Hanzo feeling betrayed and setting out on his own journey of revenge or self - discovery.
Naruto's chakra control and combat skills would develop differently. Hanzo was a master of his own unique techniques. Naruto would be trained in those, and perhaps develop his own spin on them. His fighting style might be more stealth - based and less reliant on brute force like his Rasengan - centric style in the original. He would also have a different sense of honor, influenced by Hanzo's code of conduct.
In a 'Naruto raised by Shinigami' fanfiction, the story could go in many directions. The Shinigami might train Naruto in secret, away from the prying eyes of the Hidden Leaf. Naruto could be taught how to use reaper - like powers, like being able to sever spiritual bonds. This would give him an edge in battles against enemies who rely on normal ninjutsu. Also, his relationship with the Nine - Tails might be affected as the Shinigami has its own connection to powerful entities.
In this fanfiction, the story might start with Naruto being found or taken in by the Shinigami. The Shinigami could train Naruto in a different way than the regular ninja training. Naruto could learn secrets about the afterlife which could give him an edge in battles. He may also have a strange connection with the souls, which could be both a strength and a burden. For example, he might be able to communicate with the souls of fallen ninjas and gain their knowledge or power.
In this kind of fanfiction, Naruto might grow up with unique abilities and perspectives. Maybe he'd have an instant connection with the bijuu's power and be more in tune with nature. He could also face less discrimination as the bijuu might protect him from the start, leading to a very different Naruto compared to the original story.
One possibility is that Naruto would grow up with a different set of skills. Mei is skilled in water-based jutsu, so Naruto might be more proficient in water techniques rather than wind ones. He could also have a different view on politics and village relations as Mei is from Kirigakure, a village with a complex history.
One possible plot could be that Shisui, with his skills and kind heart, trains Naruto in unique ways. He might teach Naruto advanced stealth techniques early on. Naruto could also inherit Shisui's sense of justice and loyalty, which would shape his character differently from the original series. Shisui could also introduce Naruto to different aspects of Uchiha culture, which would give Naruto an edge in understanding his friends like Sasuke better.
Well, one possibility is that Naruto would grow up with a different view of the ninja world. Nagato's experiences with pain and his radical ideas might influence Naruto. He could be more cynical about the shinobi system at first. But Naruto's own kind heart might also start to change Nagato's views over time, leading to a very different Akatsuki perhaps.
Well, in such a fanfiction, Naruto might grow up with a very different set of skills. Manda is a large snake, so Naruto could learn more about stealth and survival in the wild. Maybe he'd be more in tune with nature. He could also develop unique fighting styles inspired by Manda's movements, like quick strikes and coiling maneuvers.
In a 'Naruto raised by Jashin' fanfic, Naruto would likely be an outcast in Konoha from the start. Since Jashin is a rather dark and feared cult - like figure in the Naruto universe. His appearance might be different too, maybe with some markings related to Jashin. His relationships with other characters would be strained. For example, he might not be friends with Sasuke as they have such different upbringings and beliefs. He could be seen as a threat by the village elders and constantly be under surveillance.
