How does the overpowered weapon in the 'naruto has an overpowered weapon' fanfiction affect the story?

It could be a sword that can cut through any substance, like the Susanoo easily. Just imagine Naruto swinging it and slicing through powerful jutsu defenses as if they were paper.

Well, in some fanfictions, Naruto might obtain the overpowered sword through a mysterious inheritance. Maybe it was left by a powerful ninja from the past and Naruto discovers it in a hidden cave or something.

Yes, in some fanfictions, Harry can be overpowered. It often makes the story less suspenseful. For example, if he can easily defeat every enemy without much effort, the tension and excitement of battles are lost. Also, it might change the relationships with other characters. Since he doesn't need much help, his friends become more like sidekicks rather than equal partners in the adventure.

Maybe it has the ability to absorb chakra. So when Naruto is in a fight against an opponent with a large amount of chakra, he can use the sword to drain some of that chakra, weakening the enemy while strengthening himself. The sword could then store that chakra for later use, like to boost Naruto's own attacks.

An overpowered child Naruto can also impact the way the Akatsuki is introduced. Instead of being a looming threat that Naruto has to grow to face, they might become aware of his power early and target him sooner. This would completely shift the pacing of the story, as Naruto would be forced into more dangerous situations at a young age. Also, the training arcs would be different. He wouldn't need to go through the same basic training as in the original story, and might instead focus on more advanced and unique techniques that match his overpowered status.

It can also lead to unexpected twists. For instance, instead of rushing into a fight, the hero's caution might make them find a different solution, which changes the direction of the story. Their cautious nature might make them form alliances that they wouldn't have otherwise, which in turn affects the power dynamics in the plot. They might also avoid certain areas or characters because of their caution, which could later be revealed as a crucial missed opportunity or a smart move depending on how the story unfolds.

He could start by training intensively with different weapons under the guidance of some old and experienced ninja. They might teach him the proper techniques and stances for using each weapon effectively.

The overpowered protagonist often drives the plot forward quickly. For example, in 'One Punch Man', Saitama's overpowered strength means he can defeat most enemies with one punch. This creates a unique situation where the story focuses more on the comical reactions of other characters and the search for a worthy opponent, rather than the typical struggle against a powerful foe.

Well, take 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime'. Rimuru's overpowered nature means he can easily overcome most physical threats. This allows the plot to focus more on political intrigue, building his own kingdom, and diplomatic relations. His power also attracts other powerful beings, either as allies or enemies, which then spins off into various plot threads. So, an overpowered character can shift the focus of the plot from basic survival or power - gaining to more complex aspects like leadership and international relations within the story world.

His friends might be a bit wary of the sentient weapon at first. Sasuke, for instance, might be suspicious and think it could be a danger. But Naruto would try to convince them that it's okay. Over time, if the weapon proves useful, they could come to accept it.
