Well, Naruto has always been adaptable. In a Hive fanfic, he'd first try to communicate with the locals. His positive attitude would make it easier for him to get along. He could use his ninjutsu to his advantage, like using his transformation jutsu to blend in or gather information. He'd also be excited to learn new things in the Hive, which would further his adaptation process. His goal - setting nature would make him look for ways to improve the Hive or help those in need there.
