One interesting fanfiction could be about the Sandaime Hokage's early days as a ninja. It might explore his training with his own sensei and how he developed his unique jutsu. Another could focus on his relationships with other hidden village leaders at that time.
Another option is to check out Naruto fanfiction groups on social media platforms like Facebook. Members of these groups often share their favorite fanfictions, and you might be lucky enough to find some great Sandaime Hokage - centered stories. Just be sure to respect the group rules and engage in positive discussions.
The villagers would likely be more confident in their leader. They would feel safer knowing that the Sandaime Hokage is not going to be pushed around easily. For the ninja, especially the younger ones like Naruto, they would have a stronger role model. Naruto might be inspired to be even more determined in his own growth as a ninja. He would see that even an older and more experienced leader can change and become more assertive.
One possibility could be that the Sandaime Hokage finally takes a really tough stance against the various threats to the village. For example, he might not be so lenient with Orochimaru from the start. Instead of just trying to persuade him, he could actively work on destroying Orochimaru's plans before they fully form. This would change the whole dynamic of how things played out in the original story, as Orochimaru was a major source of problems for Konoha.
An interesting plot for Naruto's Sandaime fanfiction might be to create a story where the Sandaime discovers a hidden power within Konoha that could either save or destroy the village. He has to make difficult decisions on how to handle this power. Maybe it's a powerful jutsu that was sealed away long ago. Additionally, you could explore his role in the creation or discovery of some of Konoha's most important landmarks or institutions. He was in charge for a long time, so he surely had a hand in many things. Or, you could write about a time when he had to make a great sacrifice for the sake of the village, like giving up his own chakra to protect a powerful seal.
Well, characters who had a rough start in the village due to Sandaime's decisions might be likely to support the bashing. For example, Naruto himself could be one. Given his difficult childhood with little support from the village at first, which some might blame on Sandaime, he could be portrayed as having negative feelings towards him in these fanfictions.
Well, it depends on the specific fanfiction. Some fanfictions might explore alternate storylines where Naruto doesn't become the Hokage at all. Maybe he decides to pursue a different path in life, like focusing on being a teacher or an explorer. However, in a large number of fanfictions, he does achieve his goal of becoming the Hokage because it's such an iconic and desired outcome for fans who want to see his journey to the top in different ways.
Naruto would probably be extremely hurt. He has always looked up to the Sandaime as a grandfather figure. So, he might initially go into a state of shock and disbelief.
In a fanfiction where the Sandaime survives the Chunin Exams, Konoha would be a very different place. His wisdom and experience are invaluable. He might be able to prevent some of the internal strife that occurred after his death. Naruto would probably grow even faster under his continued guidance. And the relationship between the different ninja clans might be more stable with his leadership still in place.
In a 'Naruto son of Sandaime' fanfiction, the story could center around the relationship between Naruto and the other clans in the village. As the son of the Sandaime, they might view him differently. Some clans could try to befriend him for political reasons, while others might be jealous or suspicious. Naruto would have to navigate these complex relationships while also dealing with his own growth as a ninja and his desire to be recognized for his own merits, not just because of his father.
