In fanfiction where Naruto is the same age as Anko, how would their relationship with other characters change?

Naruto's relationship with Jiraiya would be different. Instead of being his student in the traditional sense, they might be more like peers. Jiraiya would probably still see Naruto's potential but would also be training Minato at the same time. So, Naruto would have to compete for Jiraiya's attention. With the other Konoha ninjas, Naruto being the same age as Minato would make him a more respected figure right from the start. He'd be seen as part of Minato's generation and might be involved in more high - level missions earlier.

Naruto's relationship with Iruka might change. Since Kurenai is now the same age as Naruto, Iruka might see Naruto in a different light as he's interacting more with Kurenai. Also, Kurenai's relationship with Asuma could be different. Maybe there would be less of a mentor - student vibe and more of a friendly competition among the four of them.

Their relationship would likely become more of a friendly rivalry. Since they are the same age, they would constantly be comparing their progress in ninjutsu and other skills. Naruto would probably be more eager to prove himself against Itachi, and Itachi might see Naruto as an interesting opponent.

In this fanfiction scenario, Minato would not have the same kind of paternal - like relationship with Naruto. Instead, they could be rivals in love for Kushina's affection. Minato would also have to prove himself not just to Kushina but also to Naruto. Their relationships would be a web of competition, friendship and budding romances. It would be a completely different story from the original, with different power dynamics and emotional entanglements among the three characters.

Their relationship with Sasuke would be very different. Naruto might not look up to Itachi as much as in the original story, and Itachi might not see Naruto as a potential threat to Sasuke's growth. Instead, they could both be like older brothers to Sasuke, guiding him in different ways.

Well, in the original series, Anko is more of an older, experienced ninja in relation to Naruto. But if they are the same age, their relationship could start as a more equal footing. They might be rivals from the start, constantly trying to outdo each other in training. For instance, they could compete to see who can master a new jutsu faster.

Their relationship would likely become more centered around family. They would have to work together to take care of the baby, which could strengthen their bond. Naruto would probably be the more fun - loving and carefree parent, while Anko would be the strict one. This balance could bring them closer as they navigate parenthood.

Naruto's relationship with Kakashi would also change. Since Anko has her own way of doing things, Naruto might not be as receptive to Kakashi's laid - back teaching style at first. However, as he grows, he could come to appreciate both Anko's and Kakashi's approaches. And Kakashi might see Naruto as a more self - sufficient student compared to the original story, which could change their dynamic in terms of how much guidance Kakashi provides.

His relationship with Sasuke would be different. Without the same kind of rivalry born from their time in the academy under Iruka, Naruto might approach Sasuke more as an equal from the start. Since Anko and Ibiki would teach him different values, he might not be as eager to prove himself to Sasuke. With his friends like Sakura, he could be more protective in a different way. Instead of his usual exuberant protectiveness, it might be a more calculated and serious form of protection due to Ibiki's influence.

If Naruto becomes Anko's apprentice, his relationship with Kakashi would be affected. Kakashi might be a bit surprised at first but would also be interested to see how Naruto grows under Anko's guidance. Naruto's friends in Team 7 would also have different reactions. Sakura could be curious and a bit envious of the new skills Naruto is learning. As for Sasuke, he might view Naruto as a threat in a different way now. Naruto's new skills might make Sasuke more determined to surpass him. Also, Naruto's relationship with the other villagers could change. Some might be a bit wary of his new - found skills, especially if they are related to Anko's more unorthodox and perhaps a bit dangerous techniques. But overall, Naruto's apprenticeship with Anko would cause a ripple effect in his relationships throughout the village.
