In the 'naruto is blind not a ninja fanfiction', how does Naruto's blindness change his relationship with his friends?

In the fanfiction, Naruto might overcome his blindness through his extraordinary sense of hearing. He could learn to detect the slightest movements and sounds, using it to his advantage in combat. For example, he could sense the wind direction changes when an opponent attacks, and dodge accordingly.

Naruto's color blindness would make him see the ninja world in a more muted or different way. For example, he might not be able to fully appreciate the beauty of a sunset over Konoha, seeing it more in shades of gray. In battles, he might not be able to quickly distinguish between different types of chakra auras if they have color - related differences. But this could also make him more attuned to other aspects like the intensity or shape of the auras.

His friends might be a bit more cautious around him at first. After all, the Kyuubi is a very powerful and somewhat feared entity. But as they see that Naruto is still himself, they gradually become more accepting. For example, Sasuke might initially be on guard but then realize Naruto is still his friend.

His relationship with Sakura might become more of an equal partnership. Since he is now a jounin, she would respect his new rank and they could collaborate on medical - ninja and combat - related missions more effectively.

His relationship with some friends might become strained. For instance, if Naruto decides to leave Konoha, some friends who are more loyal to the village might oppose his decision. However, his true friends will try to understand his reasons. Sakura, for example, might initially be shocked but then come to terms with it as she has seen Naruto's struggles.

Some of his friends, like Sasuke, could see this merge as a new opportunity for Naruto to grow even stronger and might encourage him to explore his new powers further. On the other hand, some friends like Sakura might be more concerned about Naruto's well - being and worry that the merge could have negative effects on his mental or physical state.

His relationship with Sasuke might become more competitive. Since they are both aiming for higher levels of ninja skills, they would constantly push each other. With Sakura, Naruto might be more respected as he has achieved the Chunin rank, and she could see him in a new light.

His relationship might become strained at first. His old friends in Konoha might be confused or even angry about his banishment. But some, like Shikamaru or Sakura, might secretly hope for his return and keep in touch with him in secret ways.

If Naruto and the Kyuubi switch places, his friends might be initially very confused. They are used to Naruto's normal behavior. If the Kyuubi is in Naruto's body, it might be more aggressive or act in ways that seem out of character. His friends would have to figure out what's going on. But if Naruto is in the Kyuubi's place, his friends might start to worry about him more, not knowing what he's experiencing inside the seal.

His relationship with Sakura would change significantly. She's a medical ninja herself, so they would become more like colleagues. They could share medical knowledge and work together on treating patients. With Sasuke, Naruto might be more concerned about his well - being in a different way. Instead of just fighting alongside him, he could use his medical skills to keep Sasuke in top shape. His friends in general would start to see him in a new light, as a healer rather than just a fighter.
