What could be the consequences if Naruto fails the academy in fanfiction?

Perhaps in this fanfiction, Naruto fails the genin test due to external factors. Say, there's some sort of interference from a hidden enemy. This enemy might have used a genjutsu on Naruto right before the test, making him see things that aren't there or confusing his mind. So, even though Naruto has the skills, he just can't perform well during the test and fails as a result.

Naruto's character could become more determined. Failing the academy might be the push he needs to work harder. He might become more self - reliant and less reliant on the approval of others.

Well, perhaps in this fanfiction, Naruto fails the bell test because of external distractions. For example, some unexpected enemy ninjas could show up during the test. Naruto, being the hot - headed and impulsive one, gets distracted by the need to protect his teammates from these new threats instead of focusing on the bells. Also, it could be that Kakashi is much stricter in this version. He doesn't give any leeway or second chances, and Naruto just doesn't meet the mark.

The consequences could be quite complex. Firstly, there's the physical aspect. He could experience intense pain during the transformation process, which might be a regular occurrence depending on the rules of the werewolf lore in this fanfiction. Emotionally, he might struggle with his identity. Is he still Naruto the ninja, or is he now something else? This internal conflict could lead to some interesting character development. Socially, his relationships might change. Some of his friends might be afraid of him, while others might be intrigued and want to help him. And from a plot perspective, this new development could lead to all sorts of adventures, like seeking a cure or finding others like him.

The consequences could be far - reaching. Naruto's relationships would surely be strained. His relationship with Sakura, for instance, might become complicated as she may be afraid of him or try to find a way to cure him. His bond with Sasuke could also be tested. Sasuke, being more attuned to darker powers, might have a different reaction compared to others. Moreover, Naruto would have to deal with the vampire community if there is one in the fanfiction world. He would need to learn their rules and how to control his new urges, or else he could become a danger to those he loves.

Sasuke could end up in a very dark place. He might get involved with some really bad characters or groups that could lead him further astray from his original path. He could lose his sense of self and become consumed by revenge or whatever negative emotions are driving him to leave in the first place.

It could be someone from within the village who doesn't want Naruto to succeed. Maybe a jealous rival among the other genin candidates. This person might have set up some sort of trap for Naruto during the test, causing him to fail.

Well, Kakashi is a very skilled ninja. If Naruto were to pickpocket him in fanfiction, he'd likely get caught right away. Kakashi has his Sharingan which can detect movements easily. And even if Naruto managed to steal something, Kakashi would probably figure it out quickly and Naruto would be in big trouble for disrespecting his sensei.

The consequence could be that the fanfiction community might feel less connected to Minato as a character. Since he is a significant part of the Naruto universe, his dislike of fanfiction could make some fans less enthusiastic about including him in their fan - created stories. This might lead to a shift in the focus of fanfiction towards other characters who are more 'welcoming' of fan interpretations.

One consequence could be that fans who really respect Kushina's character might be more hesitant to engage with fanfictions. If they know that Kushina, in a sense, wouldn't approve, they might feel guilty or less interested in exploring those fictional works.
