Iruka - sensei could be a mentor. He's always been like a father figure to Naruto, and he might have some simple but delicious home - cooking recipes to teach him. Also, Kakashi. Kakashi has a lot of life experiences and might have come across some unique cooking methods during his travels. He could teach Naruto how to be resourceful in the kitchen. And then there's the old lady who runs the ramen stand. She could show Naruto the secrets of making the perfect ramen.
One possible mentor could be Ino. Ino has a good sense of aesthetics and could teach Naruto how to make food look appealing as well as taste good. Shikamaru, with his laid - back but intelligent nature, could offer some practical advice on how to make cooking less of a chore and more efficient. And from outside of Konoha, perhaps a traveling chef from another village who Naruto meets during one of his missions. This chef could introduce Naruto to completely new ingredients and cooking techniques.
Ayame from Ichiraku Ramen could also be a mentor. She knows all about making delicious ramen, which is Naruto's favorite food. She could teach Naruto the secrets of making the perfect broth, choosing the right noodles, and adding the best toppings. Naruto would be eager to learn from her so he can make his own amazing ramen at home.
One option could be Teuchi, the owner of Ichiraku Ramen. Since Naruto loves ramen so much, Teuchi could teach him more advanced cooking techniques for making different types of ramen and other noodle dishes.
One possible mentor could be Zabuza. Although he was an enemy at first, in a fanfiction scenario, he could have survived and seen potential in Naruto. Zabuza was a master of assassination techniques, and he could pass on his skills, like silent killing and the use of the Executioner's Blade in a more covert way. Also, Orochimaru might be considered in a very dark fanfiction. He has vast knowledge of jutsu and poisons that could be used in assassinations, but of course, this would be a very dangerous path for Naruto to take.
Jiraiya could be one of his mentors. He's already Naruto's teacher in many ways and has a vast knowledge of different ninjutsu, so he would be a great choice to teach Naruto about elemental ninjutsu. Another potential mentor could be Kakashi. He's known for his wide range of skills and could pass on his knowledge about elements to Naruto. Also, Tsunade might be a mentor. She has great control over her chakra and could teach Naruto how to use his chakra more effectively for elemental ninjutsu.
Well, first of all, Gai Sensei could be an excellent mentor for Naruto in martial arts. He is extremely passionate about taijutsu and has a lot of unique training methods. Kakashi could also play a role as a mentor. He has a diverse set of skills and could introduce Naruto to some rare martial arts techniques he has learned over the years. And then there's Tsunade. Her strength in close - combat and knowledge of physical combat could make her a great martial arts mentor for Naruto.
Well, Naruto could also mentor his younger self about the importance of friendship. He's had so many experiences with his friends like Sasuke and Sakura. He might tell his younger self not to take their relationships for granted and how they all contribute to his growth as a ninja.
Well, in this fanfiction, there could be a mentor who is a former Akatsuki member. This person has seen the dark side of the ninja world and can teach Naruto about the true nature of power. Or perhaps a sage from a hidden mountain, who has lived for centuries and has vast knowledge of chakra manipulation and nature transformation. Also, a wandering samurai with a unique combat style could be a mentor for Naruto, teaching him discipline and different fighting strategies.
In this fanfiction, Nurse Joy could also be a mentor. She has a lot of experience with taking care of all kinds of Pokemon, which is related to breeding. She could teach Ash about the health aspects that are crucial for successful breeding. And maybe there could be a mysterious, old - time Pokemon breeder in a far - off region that Ash meets. This breeder could have ancient knowledge about Pokemon breeding that Ash can learn from.
Another potential mentor could be a Muggle vet that Harry meets during his studies. This Muggle vet could introduce Harry to non - magical veterinary techniques, which Harry could then adapt for use on magical creatures. This would create an interesting dynamic as Harry bridges the gap between the Muggle and wizarding worlds in his pursuit of becoming a vet.
Sakura could be the one teaching him. She's known for being intelligent and having good domestic skills. She might start by showing Naruto the basics in the kitchen, like how to hold a knife properly and how to chop vegetables evenly.
