Well, it completely alters the traditional narrative. Naruto's connection to Konoha was a huge part of the original story. Without his desire to return, it changes the relationships he has with his friends there like Sasuke, Sakura, etc.
The relationships in the story could be different. Since Naruto is not aiming for the Hokage position, his interactions with characters like Sasuke, who was also involved in the power dynamics of the village in some ways, would change. Maybe they would focus more on other aspects of their friendship or rivalry rather than Naruto's pursuit of Hokage.
Well, it could completely shift the plot. Instead of Naruto being the village's hero, he might become an outcast or even an antagonist. His relationships with characters like Sasuke, who has his own complex feelings about Konoha, would be radically different. For example, they might team up against Konoha rather than Naruto trying to bring Sasuke back to the village.
Well, it would also affect the relationships of other characters. For example, his friends in Konoha would either try to regain his trust or they might side with Konoha against him. This would add a whole new layer of complexity to the plot as characters are forced to take sides and deal with the consequences.
Well, in the original story, Jiraiya played a big role in Naruto's emotional growth too. If he doesn't train Naruto in the fanfiction, Naruto might lack the father - figure like guidance that Jiraiya provided. This could lead to Naruto making different decisions in life, both in terms of his relationships and his ninja career. For example, he might not have the same understanding of the ninja world's politics and power struggles, which could put him at a disadvantage. Also, his connection to the Sage Mode might be completely different or non - existent, which would change how he fares in battles against powerful enemies.
It can also make him look more complex. In the original story, Naruto is all about protecting Konoha. But in this fanfic, his decision not to help challenges that simple view. He could be seen as a character who weighs the pros and cons and makes a tough choice, like if he decides Konoha has done too much wrong in the past to deserve his help.
One possible reason could be that he feels betrayed by Konoha. Maybe he has uncovered some dark secrets about the village that make him lose faith in it.
Well, it changes the family dynamic significantly. In the original story, family is a very important theme, especially later when Naruto discovers his connection to his parents. In this fanfiction, the lack of communication with his family means Naruto may not have the same support system, which could lead to a different path in his ninja journey.
Well, it changes the emotional core. In the original Naruto story, family is an important underlying theme. Removing Naruto's feelings for his family shifts the focus. For instance, his motivation for becoming strong might no longer be related to impressing his father or living up to his family's name.
It changes the dynamic between Naruto and the village. Since Sarutobi was an important figure in the village, Naruto's distrust can create a rift not just between them but also between Naruto and the traditional village values Sarutobi represented.
The overall Naruto universe would be turned upside down. Naruto's refusal to protect Konoha could lead to a breakdown in the relationships he has built. His former allies in Konoha might become his enemies, and those who were once his enemies outside of Konoha might try to use him for their own gain. The Akatsuki, for example, might try to recruit him or manipulate him to further their goals. This would create a whole new set of conflicts and alliances that we haven't seen in the original story.
