This act could potentially make Naruto more decisive. He might no longer be as hesitant in battle or when making difficult decisions. On the other hand, it could also make him more conflicted. He has to grapple with the fact that he took so many lives, which could cause internal turmoil and make his character a complex mix of strength and vulnerability.
It could make him more hardened. Naruto is known for his optimism and belief in the good of others. Killing an army might shatter that belief and make him more cynical.
Well, he would probably become much more cold and detached. He might lose his drive to protect his friends and the village in the same passionate way. His actions would be more mechanical, lacking the warmth and empathy that used to be his trademarks.
It could make some readers view him as more complex. Instead of just the one - dimensional hero, he now has this dark action in his story. Some might think he's still a hero but one who has to make the toughest of choices. Others might see him as a tragic figure, forced into a situation where he has to do something unthinkable.
His character arc takes a dark turn. He would likely be filled with guilt and self - loathing. Instead of growing towards peace and unity as in the original story, he is now on a path of self - destruction or redemption, depending on how the fanfiction unfolds. For example, he might try to atone for his sins by isolating himself or seeking some form of punishment.
Well, he might start by using his charisma. Naruto has always been good at making friends. He could reach out to old allies from his village, like Shikamaru and Choji. Also, he might convince some of the outcast ninja who have been mistreated in other villages to join him. His reputation as a hero who saved the world would surely attract a lot of people.
It would change it drastically. Naruto is known for his loyalty and friendship. If he were to kill his friends, it would shatter the image of the hero. His friends like Sasuke, Sakura, and Shikamaru are important to the overall story and relationships in the Naruto universe. Their deaths at Naruto's hands would create a huge rift among the other characters.
Well, it could make him more empathetic. If he absorbs memories of others' hardships, for example, he might be more understanding towards those who have suffered. He could also become wiser as he gains knowledge from the memories. Maybe he'll be more cautious in certain situations because he has seen the consequences in the absorbed memories.
Naruto would likely become more independent. Without the support of his parents, he has to fend for himself. He might develop a tougher exterior and be more cautious about trusting others. For example, he may not be as open - hearted as he was in the original story, always having the fear of being betrayed again in the back of his mind.
It alters the theme of the original Naruto story. The original story often emphasized forgiveness and the power of friendship. In this fanfiction, if Naruto kills Haku, it might shift towards a darker theme of sacrifice and the harshness of the ninja world. This could also change how the other characters develop. For instance, Sakura might view Naruto differently, either fearing him or seeing him as a more decisive and perhaps colder hero. And Naruto himself might struggle with guilt or a new - found sense of power that comes from taking a life, which would be a huge departure from his usual self in the original storyline.
Well, when Naruto absorbs abilities in fanfiction, it can make him more powerful, of course. This new - found power might make him more confident, or perhaps a bit overconfident at first. He could start to see himself in a new light and might take on more dangerous missions. It also could change how his friends view him, as he's suddenly much stronger than before.
If Naruto kills the villagers, he would lose his innocence. He has always been about protecting and being accepted by the village. Killing them would make him a much darker and more complex character. He might become more of an anti - hero, full of guilt and self - loathing.
