His friends' reactions would be complex. Sakura, for one, would feel a deep sense of guilt for not noticing Naruto's situation earlier. She might then focus on using her medical skills to help Naruto heal from any physical or emotional scars. And Ino could use her mind - reading jutsu (if applicable in this fanfiction) to try and understand Naruto's deeper emotional traumas from the abuse. All in all, they would come together as a group to support Naruto in different ways.
Well, his friends' reactions could vary. Shikamaru, with his calm and intelligent nature, would probably start planning how to prevent further abuse. He might gather information about the situation and use his strategic mind to keep Naruto safe. While Choji, being a very loyal friend, would offer his unwavering support to Naruto both emotionally and physically, standing by him no matter what.
They might be shocked at first. Some friends could become extremely angry towards the abuser. For example, Sasuke, being Naruto's close friend, might vow to protect Naruto more vigilantly and seek revenge on those who have abused him.
There could also be neglect, which is a form of abuse. Naruto was often left alone without proper care or guidance. His friends would be shocked to realize that Naruto had to grow up in such a difficult situation where he was basically on his own most of the time, facing the hardships of life without the support he deserved.
There could also be friends who are so loyal to Naruto that they would consider following his request if they truly believe it's for the greater good. However, they would be deeply pained by it. Kakashi, for instance, might understand Naruto's selfless nature but would also struggle with the moral and emotional implications of taking his life.
His friends might be shocked at first, but then start to really enjoy reading it and discussing the ideas in it.
Sakura, being a medic - ninja, would likely be very concerned and immediately start trying to diagnose and treat Naruto. She might be constantly by his side, using her medical skills to ease his symptoms.
Naruto might initially be shocked or confused. For example, if they prank him with the fake ramen, he'd probably make a really funny face when he takes the first bite. But then he'd probably laugh it off because he has a good sense of humor.
Sasuke might be initially suspicious. Given their complex relationship, Sasuke would likely want to know the real reason behind Naruto's identity change. But once he understands the motives, he might respect Naruto's decision if it's for a good cause.
His friends would be in shock. Kakashi would take charge of the situation. He would gather all the information about what Naruto was doing before he disappeared. Naruto's friends like Choji and Ino would use their respective skills to help in the search. Ino could try to use her mind - reading jutsu on people who were around Naruto before he disappeared. They would all be determined to find Naruto because he is an important part of their team and the village.
Sakura might be initially suspicious. She is a smart girl and would wonder about the butler's intentions. She might keep a close eye on him to make sure he doesn't harm Naruto in any way.
Sakura would probably be both disgusted and amused at the same time. She might scold Naruto for being so unhygienic at first, but then laugh at his silly antics.
His friends from Team 7, like Kakashi, would feel responsible for Naruto's situation. Kakashi would likely use his resources to find a proper shelter for Naruto. Shikamaru and the others might come together to form a sort of support group for Naruto. They would pool their resources, like money and food, and also try to cheer him up by sharing stories and jokes.
