In the 'Naruto Saving Sakura from Orochimaru' fanfiction, how would Naruto's character develop further?

Naruto's character development in this fanfiction would be complex. He'd probably grow up with a sense of superiority due to Orochimaru's powerful teachings. But at the same time, he'd lack the warmth and compassion that came from his relationships in Konoha. He might be more self - centered, focused on his own power and survival. He may not have the same sense of justice as in the original Naruto, as Orochimaru's motives are not in line with the general good. And his relationship with his peers would be more of a power struggle. He might not form the same deep friendships, but rather see others as either tools or threats.

Naruto's character would likely become more conflicted. He has always been on the side of good, and joining Orochimaru, even if for a good reason, would put him in a morally gray area. His view of power might change as he is exposed to Orochimaru's unorthodox ways of obtaining it.

They would develop in terms of their skills. Under Orochimaru, they would gain a lot of knowledge about chakra manipulation and forbidden jutsu. But with Naruto, they would learn about the power of bonds and friendship. This combination could lead to the development of new jutsu that combines both physical power and the strength of relationships. Also, they would grow in their understanding of right and wrong, as Naruto's moral compass would constantly be in conflict with Orochimaru's more amoral stance.

Naruto's character would likely become more complex. With Orochimaru as his guardian, he'd be exposed to different ways of thinking. He might become more cautious, as Orochimaru is a master of manipulation. But he'd also learn a great deal about jutsu and ninja history. His view of the world might expand, and he could become more understanding of the gray areas in the ninja world.

His character could develop in a darker direction. The torture and manipulation from Orochimaru's experiments could make him question his values. However, it could also strengthen his resolve to protect his friends and the village. He may start to see the world in a more complex way, understanding that there are greater evils out there. And his newfound powers from the experiments could give him a sense of responsibility that he didn't have before.

Naruto would probably be more self - disciplined. Sakura is known for her self - control, and she'd pass this on to Naruto. So he might not be as wild - spirited as in the original.

Her character could develop in a way that she becomes more independent. In the fanfiction, away from the protection of her usual teammates, she has to fend for herself among Orochimaru's minions. This would force her to rely on her own strength and intelligence. Also, she might develop a darker side. Being around Orochimaru's evil influence, she could struggle with maintaining her positive outlook and might have moments where she is tempted by the power he offers without considering the consequences.

Naruto would likely become more confident in his ability to protect others. Saving Kurenai from Asuma would show him that he can handle complex and dangerous situations within the village. His reputation would also grow, and he might gain more respect from the older generation like Kurenai.

Naruto's character might develop a stronger sense of purpose. Saving Sasuke becomes more than just about their friendship; it could be about righting a wrong in the ninja world. His resolve to save Sasuke would make him train harder and become more strategic in his battles.

In some fanfictions, Orochimaru might develop a sense of loyalty towards Naruto. After being around Naruto for a while, he could see Naruto as someone worthy of his loyalty. This could lead to him being more open to working with the Hidden Leaf and helping Naruto in his various missions. He might even sacrifice his own interests to protect Naruto at times, which is a complete turnaround from his initial character.
