Who could Naruto meet when he leaves the village for training in fanfiction?

He might face new and powerful enemies. In fanfiction, there could be hidden threats in the outside world that are different from those in the village. These enemies could have unique abilities that Naruto has never encountered before, testing his combat skills and strategic thinking.

He might meet Iruka first. Iruka was always like a father figure to Naruto, and it would be a very heartwarming reunion. Iruka would probably be one of the first people to welcome Naruto back with open arms.

He might encounter a hermit who lives in a tree and has some really strange habits. The hermit could offer Naruto some 'wise' advice that is actually just really absurd, like telling him to walk on his hands to find his true path.

He might meet American wizards who are very different from his British friends. Maybe some tough - talking Aurors who have their own way of dealing with dark magic.

It could be Danzo. Since he's always been a bit of a shadowy figure in the Naruto world, he might be the one behind Naruto's neglect in the village. He could have spread rumors or influenced others to keep Naruto down, and when Naruto leaves, he might send agents to stop him from becoming a threat outside the village.

Naruto might meet another lost ninja. This ninja could be from a destroyed village. They would understand each other's pain and loneliness. Together, they decide to start a family, building a new life far away from the memories of their past tragedies.

He could feel a sense of guilt. Sasuke might think that his actions or their relationship issues pushed Naruto to leave. He may then set out to find Naruto, not only to bring him back but also to resolve their long - standing issues. For example, if there were unspoken words or unresolved fights between them, Sasuke would see this as an opportunity to set things right.

In the fanfiction's training trip, Naruto may encounter some spiritual beings. These beings could be related to the origin of chakra or some long - forgotten ninja legends. Interacting with them would be a very different experience for Naruto. He would have to use not only his physical skills but also his wits and understanding of the ninja world's deeper mysteries to communicate with them. This could lead to a major transformation in his ninja journey, as he delves deeper into the spiritual side of the ninja arts.

In this fanfiction, Naruto might be neglected not just by the villagers but also by some of his so - called friends. This heartbreak makes him leave. He then travels to different lands. Along the way, he meets an old hermit who teaches him ancient ninja techniques that are long forgotten in his village. With these new skills, he contemplates whether to return to the village and show them what they missed out on or to start a new life away from the place that has caused him so much pain.

Naruto might meet some foreign ninjas from far - off lands that have completely different fighting styles. These ninjas could teach him new ways to use his chakra and improve his combat abilities. He may also encounter some mysterious hermits living in the mountains or forests who possess great wisdom and unique jutsu. They could guide him on his journey of self - improvement and give him valuable advice on how to become stronger as a ninja.
