He might become more secretive. Naruto is usually an open - book, but in the mafia, he'd have to hide his intentions and actions. So he'd develop a more guarded personality.
His values could be challenged. Naruto believes in hard work and friendship, but the mafia operates on different principles like power and loyalty through fear. He may start to question his own beliefs and might have to adapt to the mafia's code while still holding on to some of his core values. This internal struggle would change his character significantly.
The power dynamics could shift. In fanfiction, new powers could be introduced to Naruto, making him even more powerful. This would change how he is perceived in the Naruto universe and how he interacts with other characters like Sasuke and Sakura.
His character would change drastically. He'd no longer be the pure - hearted ninja we know. The act of eating souls might make him more power - hungry. In the Mist Village, he could be influenced by their more cut - throat ways. He might start to see the world in a more cynical light, using his power for personal gain rather than for the good of others like he used to.
His character could change in several ways. Firstly, he'd likely become more stealthy. In the ANBU, being able to move without being detected is crucial. Also, he might become more cynical. The ANBU deals with some dark stuff, and that could make Naruto question the world around him more. He may still hold onto his core values of protecting his friends and the village, but he'd view things from a more jaded perspective. He'd also have to be more calculating in his actions, thinking several steps ahead like the other ANBU members.
Naruto's character would likely experience a shift in values. While he still holds onto his ninja values of friendship and loyalty, he would start to embrace the Slytherin traits of ambition and cunning. He might be more strategic in his battles, using his opponents' weaknesses against them in a more devious way. Also, his relationships with others could change as he adapts to the more cut - throat environment of Slytherin.
He'd become more reserved. The ANBU environment is secretive and doesn't encourage open emotions. Naruto, who is usually so exuberant, would have to hold back. For example, he couldn't go around shouting about his dreams as freely as before.
The story would change drastically. His presence would add a new dynamic. The power balance in the fanfiction world might shift. If it was a dark and gritty fanfiction, Naruto's positive energy could start to turn things around.
He would likely become more withdrawn. Naruto is usually so open and exuberant, but heartbreak could make him close off. In ANBU, he might be quieter, more focused on the mission at hand. He'd still have his determination, but it would be a more solemn determination. His sense of humor might also disappear for a while as he copes with his pain.
In this fanfiction, Naruto would likely become more in tune with his spiritual side. Cait Shelter might have different beliefs and values compared to Konoha. Naruto, being adaptable, would start to incorporate some of these new ideas into his own view of the world. For example, he might start to see the importance of non - combat ways of helping people more clearly, which could lead to a more well - rounded and calmer personality.
If Naruto is banished to Suna, his relationships will shift significantly. In Konoha, he had friends like Sakura and Shikamaru. But in Suna, he'll be starting from scratch. With Gaara, their relationship could deepen as they both understand the pain of loneliness. Naruto could also become a mentor - like figure to some of the younger Suna ninjas. His relationship with the Suna elders might be a bit tricky at first, as they would need to trust him, but over time, it could grow into respect and mutual cooperation.
Naruto may become more serious and stealthy. ANBU work requires a certain level of secrecy and discipline, which could tone down his usual exuberant personality.
