What could be the possible plot twists in a fanfiction where Minato and Kushina ignored Naruto?

One possible plot twist could be that with Minato and Kushina alive, Naruto's training would be completely different. Minato, being a prodigy, could teach Naruto advanced jutsu much earlier. And Kushina might pass on some unique Uzumaki clan techniques. Maybe they would also change the political situation in Konoha, as Minato was a highly respected Hokage. This could lead to different alliances and power dynamics within the village and among the other ninja villages.

A plot twist could be that they see Naruto losing his way. This would be a huge shock for them as they always believed in Naruto's goodness. But then, as the story unfolds, Naruto finds his way back due to a memory or a message from his parents that he somehow receives in a moment of crisis.

There could be a plot twist where they are revived in a different time period. Maybe they are brought back during the era of the Sage of Six Paths. This would mean they have to adapt to a very different world with different rules and powers. Another plot twist could be that when they are revived, they are linked to an ancient evil. They have to fight this internal connection while also trying to figure out what has happened to the ninja world in their absence. Additionally, it could be that their revival was actually a test by the gods of the ninja world to see if they can bring about a new era of peace.

It might be due to jealousy. If Minato was getting more attention or praise in the village for his achievements while Kushina felt overlooked, that could create resentment. Say, Minato was constantly being hailed as a hero for his speed and battle tactics, and Kushina, who also had great power, felt like she was in his shadow.

One possibility could be that Naruto discovers a long - hidden secret about his family that makes him feel betrayed. For example, he might find out that Minato and Kushina had made a deal with a dangerous enemy in the past that put the village at risk. This would be so against Naruto's values of protecting the village and his friends that he decides to leave them.

Maybe in the fanfiction, there is a powerful enemy who wants to use Naruto's connection to his parents against him. So, they somehow manage to bring Minato and Kushina back to the physical world. When they meet Naruto, it's an emotional moment. They form a plan to defeat the enemy together. Minato uses his strategic skills, Kushina her strength, and Naruto his own unique abilities learned over the years.

On a more personal level, they could face internal guilt. As Naruto grows up and achieves great things on his own despite their neglect, Minato and Kushina may realize what they've missed out on. This realization could cause them a great deal of internal turmoil and regret for not being there for their son when he needed them.

Perhaps a plot twist is that they are resurrected in the wrong era. They end up in a future where the ninja clans have all but disappeared and they have to find a way to bring back the ninja way. Or, they are resurrected with different powers than they had before. This change in power could lead to them being feared by the current ninja generation, and they have to prove that they are on the side of good.

Well, perhaps in this fanfiction, Evil Minato and Kushina find Naruto when he is at a very vulnerable state. They see an opportunity to use him for their evil plans. Their plans might involve using Naruto's Jinchuriki power to open a portal to a dimension full of dark energy. But Naruto, being the resilient character he is, tries to resist them. He calls upon the memories of his friends and the village that has always supported him, and he gradually starts to turn the tables on his 'evil' parents.

Perhaps in this fanfiction, Minato and Kushina leave Naruto because they are cursed. They fear that the curse will harm Naruto if they stay close. So, they go into exile. As Naruto grows up, he starts to discover clues about his parents' real reason for leaving and sets out on a quest to find them and break the curse. This could lead to many adventures and character - development moments for Naruto.
