The story would be very different. Naruto's parents being alive would mean he has a support system from the start. His father could pass on his jutsu and wisdom more directly. Naruto might not have the same drive to become Hokage in the same way, as he wouldn't be seeking that family - like recognition from the village. His mother's presence would also add an element of warmth and stability to his life. And perhaps he would be more of a prodigy with both his parents' guidance, changing the power dynamics in the ninja world.
His relationship with his parents would be loving. Minato would be a strict but fair father, teaching Naruto about ninjutsu and the responsibilities of being a shinobi. Kushina would be the warm, affectionate mother, always there to comfort and encourage Naruto. They would support his dreams and be proud of his every achievement.
With Sasuke, Naruto's parents being alive could lead to a more positive influence on Sasuke. Naruto might be more stable and happy, and this could rub off on Sasuke. They could become closer friends earlier, and Naruto could help Sasuke deal with his family issues in a different way. Maybe Naruto's family could even offer some support to Sasuke after the Uchiha massacre didn't happen.
Naruto would likely become more determined. His usual goal of becoming Hokage might be put on hold as he focuses on rescuing his parents. He would train harder, pushing his limits to gain the strength needed to face the kidnappers. This would accelerate his growth as a ninja.
He would be more confident. Growing up with his parents' love and presence would mean he doesn't have to constantly seek validation. So he might be less brash and more self - assured from the start.
One possible scenario in such a fanfiction could be that Naruto's parents are preoccupied with their shinobi duties. They might be constantly on missions for the Hidden Leaf Village, leaving Naruto at home with caretakers who don't really pay him much attention. This could lead to Naruto feeling lonely and isolated, just as he did in the original story when he thought he had no family.
Well, for one, Harry would grow up in a loving family environment. He wouldn't have to live with the Dursleys. His magical education would likely start much earlier and be guided by his parents, especially James who was also a very talented wizard. His confidence and self - esteem would be much higher as he wouldn't have the emotional baggage of being an orphan.
His confidence would probably soar. Knowing he has his parents, who are likely strong ninjas, supporting him would make him feel more secure. He might become a bit less reckless as he now has people who care about him deeply and he wouldn't want to worry them.
The plot could start with Naruto growing up in a loving family environment. His parents, Minato and Kushina, are alive and they are aware of the Nine - Tailed Fox inside Naruto. They train him from a young age to control the fox's power. However, the village might still be a bit wary of Naruto because of the fox. This could lead to Naruto feeling a sense of isolation from the villagers despite his family's love. As he grows, he might start to resent the village's attitude and begin to show darker tendencies as he tries to prove himself in a different way than in the original story.
His character development would be different in that he'd have a stronger sense of family. Since his parents are alive, he has a more complete family unit. Their muteness would make him more protective of them. He'd learn patience earlier on, as communicating with mute parents can be a slow process at times. This new - found patience would spill over into his ninja training, allowing him to master difficult techniques more easily. He might also be less of a show - off, as his focus would be more on his family's well - being rather than seeking attention from the village.
The plot could start with Naruto being born blind. His parents, Minato and Kushina, are determined to raise him as a strong ninja. They might focus on training his other senses from a young age. As Naruto grows, he faces challenges in the ninja academy due to his blindness but overcomes them with the help of his parents and his own determination. He could develop unique fighting styles that rely on his hearing, smell, and touch. For example, he might be able to sense an opponent's chakra flow better than others, which gives him an edge in battles.
