How does Naruto's character change in the fanfiction where he raises his hand during the Chunin Exam?

Naruto would likely become more self - reliant. As a ronin, he doesn't have the support of a village. So during the Chunin Exam, he has to trust his own instincts and skills more. He may also become more cautious as he realizes he can't always count on backup.

Maybe he saw an opportunity to help his friends. If there was a task or a challenge in the Chunin Exam that required someone to step forward, Naruto, being the selfless person he is, raised his hand to protect or assist his comrades. For example, if there was a dangerous opponent that his friends were having trouble with, he would volunteer without hesitation.

In fanfiction, Naruto often changes in terms of his combat skills. He might pick up new jutsu faster and use them more creatively during the Chunin Exams. For example, he could combine his Shadow Clone Jutsu with some new elemental attacks he's learned, showing a growth in his strategic thinking on the battlefield.

When Naruto passes the Chunin Exam in fanfiction, his confidence would soar. He'd start to see himself as more of a capable ninja. He might become more of a leader among his peers, as passing the Chunin Exam is a sign of growth. For example, he could start giving advice to younger ninjas.

Perhaps he showed an enhanced sensory ability. In the Chunin Exam, being able to sense opponents better can be a great advantage. Naruto might have raised his hand to volunteer for a task that required this ability, and it was a sign that he had improved his sensing skills to a new level. He could detect even the faintest chakra signatures and movements of his opponents, which would have surprised everyone.

Maybe he realizes the exam is too dangerous or he discovers some unfairness in it. In the original Naruto story, Naruto has faced many difficulties and moral dilemmas during the Chunin Exam. So in the fanfiction, similar situations might push him to quit.

He might become more determined. After failing, Naruto could realize his weaknesses and be more eager to improve. He may start training harder than ever, focusing on the areas where he lacked during the exam.

After being promoted to chunin, Naruto's training would change significantly. He'd probably start training with more experienced chunin and jonin. They would teach him advanced combat techniques and how to better analyze his opponents. Also, he might have to study more about the politics and history of the ninja world, as chunin are often involved in diplomatic matters. His physical training would also intensify, but now it would be more about endurance and precision rather than just brute strength.

Naruto's life would be filled with new experiences. He'd have to learn how to be a role model. This means not just showing off his ninja skills, but also teaching his brother about values like honesty and loyalty. He'd also have to deal with his brother's emotions. For instance, if his brother gets bullied, Naruto would need to step in and handle the situation in a way that both protects his brother and teaches him how to stand up for himself. And he might start to see the village in a different light, as he now has a family member to look after and wants to make the village a better place for his brother to grow up in.

He might face disappointment from his friends and mentors. His friends who were also participating in the exam might feel let down, and his mentors, like Kakashi, could be concerned about his decision and how it will affect his future as a ninja.
