In this fanfiction, Naruto's character development could be significant. He might start to question his own identity in a new light. Is he just a ninja, or is he now something more because of his relationship with the male Kyuubi? He could become more introspective and also more assertive in his decisions. The male Kyuubi could also change. Maybe he was once a solitary and angry being, but through his connection with Naruto, he could become more sociable, at least within the context of Naruto's mind and their shared existence. Their relationship could also make Naruto more of an outcast in some ways, as others in the ninja world may not understand this unique bond, which would force him to grow even more in terms of self - reliance and self - discovery.
For Naruto, he may gain a new perspective on power. Instead of just seeing the Kyuubi as a source of brute strength, he could start to understand the deeper, more complex nature of the tailed beast. This could lead to a more mature Naruto, one who is not just about fighting but also about protecting through a more nuanced use of power. The male Kyuubi could experience a change in his view of humans. He might see that not all humans are out to control or harm him, especially with Naruto as his'mate'. He could become more empathetic towards the human world and be more willing to cooperate with Naruto's goals.
Another possible development is that she gains the ability to transform into different forms not just for combat but also for communication. For example, she could take on a more human - like form to better interact with the villagers, which helps to bridge the gap between her and the humans and also shows her adaptability and evolution as a character.
Naruto could become more confident. If the leotard is a symbol of his connection with the Kyuubi, wearing it might make him feel more in control of his power. He might start to take on more leadership roles in battles or in his village.
In a 'naruto mates with male kyuubi fanfiction', it could be that Naruto, through some strange twist of fate, enters a spiritual realm where he meets the male Kyuubi in a more human - like form. At first, they are suspicious of each other. However, as they are forced to work together to escape this realm, they start to rely on one another. This trust and reliance could grow into a deeper relationship. The idea of'mating' might be more about a complete union of their essences, which then gives Naruto an edge in the real world, like being able to use the Kyuubi's power without the negative side - effects that he previously had to deal with.
He may develop a deeper understanding of the balance between power and control. With the Wabisuke in his possession, he has to learn how to use its power without losing himself. This could lead to him growing in wisdom and self - restraint. He might also become more isolated as he tries to master the weapon on his own at first, but then later realize the importance of his friends' support and grow closer to them in a new way.
Potential character development for Naruto could be that he becomes more adaptable. Serving Orochimaru would put him in situations he's not used to, forcing him to think on his feet. He may also develop a darker side, as Orochimaru's influence seeps in, but at the same time, he could become more determined to uphold his own values. As for Orochimaru, he might start to respect Naruto's tenacity and might even consider changing his ways a bit, or at least re - evaluating his plans in light of Naruto's presence.
For Naruto, he might gain new combat skills influenced by Matatabi. His fighting style could become more fluid and unpredictable, like Matatabi's nature. Matatabi could start to show more compassion. Maybe through Naruto's positive influence, it begins to care more about the humans and the ninja world in general. This would be a big change for a tailed beast.
For Naruto, he would have to grapple with the fact that he is fighting his former friend. This could make him more solemn and determined. He might develop a darker side as he realizes the seriousness of stopping Sasuke. For Sasuke, he could start as overconfident in his power but as Naruto keeps pushing him back, he could become more desperate and start to question his own motives.
Naruto would experience a huge shift in his identity. He'd go from being the son of Minato (in the original story) to being Minato's father. This would likely make him more responsible and mature. He'd have to think about protecting Minato and guiding him, which is different from his usual role of being the underdog striving for recognition.
Naruto could develop a darker side to his personality. Since Orochimaru is known for his dark jutsu and unethical practices, Naruto might be influenced. But at the same time, his core values of protecting his friends and the village could be strengthened as he realizes he needs to be strong enough to resist Orochimaru's negative influence. Orochimaru might become more interested in Naruto's potential for good rather than just using him for his own evil plans.
Naruto might develop a new sense of identity. In Kiri, he's not just the Konoha hero. He has to re - establish himself, which could lead to him growing in maturity and self - awareness. He may also become more stealthy as Kiri often values secrecy in its ninja operations compared to Konoha's more open - minded approach in some aspects.
