He would probably be a more laid - back character. Without the pressure of ninja training and missions, he could be someone who enjoys simple pleasures in life, like spending time with friends in the village square, chatting and having a good laugh. He might be more into arts or music, things that he didn't have much time for as a ninja in the original story.
Naruto in this fanfiction could be a bit of an outcast in a different way. Since he's not part of the ninja community, he might struggle to find his place at first. But then he could develop into a character who is very empathetic towards those who are also on the fringes of the village society. He could use his unique perspective, not as a ninja but as an ordinary person, to bring about change in how the village treats those who are different.
Well, if Naruto becomes a Kumo Ninja in fanfiction, he would have to adapt to a whole new environment. Kumo has different training methods and a different ninja culture compared to Konoha. He might learn new jutsus specific to Kumo's style. And his relationships with the other Kumo ninjas would be interesting to explore, like how he gets along with Killer Bee or other strong Kumo shinobi.
The story in this fanfiction would be quite different. Since Naruto doesn't become a ninja, the power dynamics in the village change. There would be no Naruto to challenge the status quo in the ninja world. Instead, the story could revolve around how the other ninja adapt to a world without Naruto's influence. Maybe some of the conflicts that were resolved by Naruto in the original story now fester and cause bigger problems. And Naruto, as a non - ninja, might have to find a way to deal with these issues from the outside, using his wits and new - found non - ninja skills.
Naruto would face the challenge of loyalty. He has deep - rooted loyalty to Konoha, and now he has to transfer that loyalty to the Mist Village. This mental shift would be tough. He'd also face challenges in terms of training. The Mist Ninja training is different in terms of intensity and focus. He'd have to learn how to be more stealthy and less obvious in his actions, which is quite the opposite of his usual style. And he'd have to deal with the possibility of being used by the Mist Village for their own purposes against his will.
His character would become more adaptable. Since Kumo is a different place, Naruto would have to quickly learn to fit in. He'd become more independent as he doesn't have his old support system from Konoha. His loyalty might be questioned at first, but as he proves himself, his new Kumo comrades would trust him.
In this fanfiction, Naruto might gain new and unique ninja skills. Maybe he discovers a long - lost jutsu that makes him even more powerful than in the original story.
One idea could be that Naruto is sent on a mission to the Hidden Mist Village and gets separated from his team. He then has to adapt to the Mist Ninja ways to survive. He might learn their unique jutsu, like some water - based techniques, and form unexpected alliances with Mist Ninja who admire his determination.
One major change would be in the way the village is perceived. Naruto is well - known across the ninja world, so other villages might see his village as even more powerful and stable. This could lead to a shift in the balance of power. His village would likely attract more talented ninjas who want to learn from him.
A crossover between Naruto and Natsu would be really cool. They both have a lot of energy and are very determined fighters. Natsu with his fire - based magic could team up with Naruto and his Rasengan which is like a concentrated ball of energy.
Well, Naruto could become a true ninja in this fanfiction by learning the true meaning of ninja. It's not just about power but also about protecting the village and the people he loves. He might have faced some tough moral choices that tested his ninja way. By sticking to his beliefs and growing from these experiences, he becomes a true ninja.
I think Naruto would excel in rock music. He has a lot of energy and a rebellious spirit, which are typical of rock stars. His loud and enthusiastic personality would fit well with the high - energy and often intense nature of rock music. He could scream out lyrics like he does his battle cries, and his wild stage presence would be perfect for head - banging concerts.
