Since he's raised in grass, his physical abilities might be different. He could be more agile and better at moving through narrow spaces between grass blades. This would translate into his combat style, making him a more elusive and hard - to - catch fighter. Also, his understanding of nature's energy could be deeper, allowing him to tap into it more effectively for stronger jutsu.
Naruto could develop grass - related abilities. He might be able to control the growth of grass, using it to entangle his opponents or create barriers. His chakra could be infused with the life force of the grass, making his attacks more unpredictable and nature - based.
He might have an enhanced sense of smell and hearing, similar to animals that live in grassy areas. This would give him an advantage in detecting enemies or finding things. For example, he could track someone by the scent they leave on the grass.
His combat abilities would change a great deal. He'd likely be more proficient in close - range combat due to learning the Hyuuga's Gentle Fist. This would give him an edge in battles where quick, precise strikes are needed.
In this fanfiction, Naruto's abilities would change significantly. Firstly, he'd be exposed to Kumogakure's unique jutsu. He might learn more advanced lightning - style techniques which are prevalent in the Cloud Village. His combat style would be more brute - force - oriented, as the Raikage values strength. Also, his ability to lead and make strategic decisions would be molded by the Raikage's military - minded approach. He might not rely as much on his Uzumaki heritage in the beginning, but as he grows, he could find a way to combine the Raikage's teachings with his own innate abilities.
He'd probably be better at stealth. Haku was a master of it. Naruto might also have an earlier start with water - based jutsu and could potentially develop some ice - like jutsu similar to Haku's.
In 'naruto raised by apes fanfiction', Naruto's character would be distinctively different. He would have a wilder side to him. His sense of humor might be more based on the simple pleasures and games that apes engage in. He could be more fearless in some ways, as he's used to the challenges of the forest life. His moral compass might also be influenced by the apes' way of life. For instance, sharing resources equally as apes do could be a big part of his values. And his physical appearance might even take on some ape - like traits, like being more hairy or having a more primal look in his eyes.
He'd probably be more aggressive. The xenomorphs are aggressive creatures, so Naruto might not be as friendly as in the original story.
He'd be more disciplined. Samurai culture emphasizes self - control, so Naruto would be less impulsive.
His relationship with Sasuke would be different. Instead of the intense rivalry based on power and recognition, it could be more about their different approaches to protecting the village. Naruto, with his skills from Totosai, might offer Sasuke unique weapons or tools to aid him in his missions.
Naruto could be more empathetic towards the Uchiha's cause. Since Mikoto is his mother figure, he would be exposed to the Uchiha's history and their grievances from a young age. This would make him more understanding of Sasuke's later actions and more likely to try and find a peaceful solution for the Uchiha's problems.
Naruto's story would be different in terms of his upbringing. Instead of the loneliness he faced in the original, with the Yamanaka, he might have a more family - oriented environment. He could be taught the values of the Yamanaka clan from an early age.
He might be more aloof. Since a phoenix is a rather otherworldly creature, Naruto could pick up some of its more detached qualities. He may not be as quick to make friends as in the original story, instead observing more from a distance before approaching others.
