Well, Naruto himself would be the first 'inhabitant' in a sense. But soon after, it would be those who believe in his vision. Kakashi might be one of the first. He has always been a guiding figure for Naruto. Then there could be some of the animals Naruto has befriended, like the toads from Mount Myoboku. They could help with various tasks like guarding the outskirts or providing transportation within the village. And the first human inhabitants would also include some of the former prisoners who have reformed, as Naruto believes in second chances.
The first inhabitants could be some of the outcasts from other villages. Naruto has always had a soft spot for those who are rejected or misunderstood. He might gather those who were bullied in their own villages, like the jinchuriki from other places or those with unique and not - fully - understood abilities. By bringing them together, he would create a diverse and inclusive community in the new village.
I think Naruto would start with his closest friends. Sasuke would probably be one of the first, as they have a deep bond. Sakura too, with her medical ninjutsu skills, would be valuable. And of course, Kakashi, who has been like a mentor to Naruto and the others, would be there to help set up the basic training and defense systems of the village.
Well, Naruto's village might be centered around a large statue of his mentor, like Iruka or Jiraiya. The village's defense system could be based on Naruto's own chakra, perhaps with barriers powered by his Nine - Tails chakra. And the houses would be designed in a way that reflects Naruto's simple and warm - hearted nature, with lots of open spaces for people to interact and have fun.
His friends like Shikamaru and Choji might support him. They know Naruto's true nature and would see the potential in his new village.
Well, if Naruto makes his own village in the fanfic, it would probably be a place full of hope. Naruto has always been about bringing people together. So his village could be a haven for those who are tired of the old ninja world politics. He'd surely invite all kinds of ninjas from different villages to join, and they would form a very diverse community. And his village might also have a special way of handling conflicts, not with war but with dialogue and understanding.
One major challenge would be getting enough resources. Building a village from scratch requires a lot of materials like wood, stone, and metal. Naruto would have to either find a way to obtain these locally or trade for them, which can be difficult. Another challenge is security. A new village would be vulnerable to attacks from other villages or rogue ninjas. Naruto would need to quickly assemble a strong defense force.
I think Rock Lee would be there to help. His unwavering dedication would inspire the new villagers. And Hinata, with her kind heart, could help in creating a warm and inclusive community. Maybe even some of the older ninjas like Kakashi could offer their wisdom and experience.
He would start by gathering like - minded people. Those who believe in his ideals of peace and unity. Then he'd find a suitable location, perhaps a place with natural defenses. After that, he'd start constructing the basic infrastructure like houses and training grounds.
He could start by inviting his friends and their families. People like Sakura, Sasuke, and their relatives would be the first to join. He could also offer a place for those who are tired of the politics in other villages. Naruto's reputation as a hero would attract many who believe in his ideals.
In this fanfiction, Naruto might gather those who also feel ostracized. He could build a village based on acceptance and equality. His new village might have unique ninja training methods that focus on individual strengths rather than just traditional clan techniques.
