In a Naruto gets a pet dragon fanfiction, how would Naruto's friends react?

His friends would likely be shocked and deeply concerned. Sasuke might put aside their differences and be by Naruto's side, offering his support.

His friends would be really happy. Shikamaru would probably be like 'Well, it was bound to happen eventually, Naruto.' and offer some practical advice. Choji might bring over some delicious food for Hinata to help with her pregnancy cravings. Kiba would probably joke around with Naruto about how his life is really changing now.

Sakura might be initially shocked and a bit disappointed. She has had feelings for Naruto in the original story, so this news would be hard for her to take. Sasuke would probably be more stoic on the outside but might be secretly concerned about how this would affect Naruto's ninja abilities. Shikamaru would likely be the one to think about all the long - term implications and try to come up with a plan to help Naruto deal with the situation.

Sakura, being the kind - hearted and practical one, would immediately start giving Naruto advice on how to keep his braces clean. She might also tell him about the foods he should avoid so that the braces don't get damaged. Sasuke, on the other hand, would be his usual aloof self. However, if any other village kids were to make fun of Naruto because of the braces, Sasuke might subtly step in and intimidate them. Shikamaru would likely grumble about Naruto's new look adding to the chaos in their group. But deep down, he would understand that it's just another thing that makes Naruto unique. Kiba and Akamaru would initially find it funny. Kiba might even joke that Naruto's braces look like some strange ninja weapon. But as time goes on, they would all get used to it and it would just become a normal part of Naruto.

Sakura would likely be shocked at first. She might feel a bit of jealousy or disappointment as she had some feelings for Naruto in the original story. But being a medical ninja, she would probably also offer her help to Blackfire during the pregnancy. Kakashi would be more composed. He would probably give Naruto some advice on responsibility and how to handle the situation with all the political and social implications. Sasuke might be indifferent on the surface but secretly be a bit worried about how this would affect Naruto's standing in the ninja world.

If Naruto gets captured by Orochimaru in fanfiction, his friends' reactions would be intense. Hinata, who has deep feelings for Naruto, would be heartbroken but also very determined. She might try to secretly track Orochimaru on her own at first, using her Byakugan to search for Naruto. Kiba with Akamaru would be eager to jump into action, using their tracking skills. Lee would be excited to prove his strength and save Naruto, ready to use his Taijutsu skills against Orochimaru. His friends' combined efforts would be focused on rescuing Naruto from Orochimaru's clutches as soon as possible.

Sakura might be initially shocked as killing is a serious matter, but then she would understand Naruto's reasons if she saw the cruelty of the Celestial Dragons. She would support him in the end. Kakashi, on the other hand, would probably be more analytical. He would first assess if Naruto's actions were truly necessary and if there were any other ways to deal with the situation. But once he realizes the nature of the Celestial Dragons, he would back Naruto up.

Shikamaru would be annoyed at first, thinking that Naruto has gotten them into another troublesome situation. But he would soon realize the potential benefits of having the baby dragon around, like using its abilities for strategic purposes in battles or for the overall protection of the village.

Sasuke would be more guarded. He would see the dragon as a potential power source or a liability. He might keep his distance at first, observing how Naruto and the dragon interact. If the dragon proves useful in battles or in protecting the village, he might start to respect it more. As for Kakashi, he would be intrigued. He would likely give Naruto some advice on how to handle the situation, like how to train the dragon and keep it a secret if necessary.

His other friends like Shikamaru would think of the most practical solutions. He might calculate the risks of continuing the mission with a sick Naruto and come up with a plan. Maybe he'd suggest splitting the group, with some staying to take care of Naruto and others proceeding with the mission - related tasks that can't be postponed.
