In Naruto fanfiction where Naruto saves his parents, one way could be through time - travel. Maybe he discovers a jutsu that allows him to go back in time. He could then use his knowledge of future events and his already - developed skills to prevent their deaths. For example, he might be able to stop the Nine - Tails attack on the village that led to his parents' sacrifice.
Yes, it is possible in fanfiction. Fanfiction writers often explore 'what - if' scenarios. They could imagine a scenario where Batman has some sort of precognitive ability that he didn't know about before. With this ability, he could foresee the attack on his parents and stop it. This would create a whole new narrative for Batman, where his origin story is completely rewritten and his relationships with other characters in the Batman universe would also be different.
One popular plot twist is that Naruto's parents are actually alive but in a hidden dimension. Naruto discovers this accidentally. Maybe he's on a mission and stumbles upon a strange portal. When he enters, he finds his parents who were trapped there by an unknown enemy. He then has to fight this enemy to free his parents and bring them back to the real world.
He would likely be more confident. Since he grew up without parents in the original story, saving them would give him a sense of security and a more stable family background. This could make him less impulsive in his actions as he wouldn't have the same insecurities driving him.
Well, the 'found family' trope can be used in a different way in this type of fanfiction. Instead of Batman creating a new family with Alfred and his allies, he gets to keep his original family. There's also the 'hero's journey reversed' trope. Usually, Batman's journey starts with the loss of his parents, but in these fanfictions, that loss is averted, and we see how his character develops in a different direction. And the trope of 'unexpected ally' can be used, like a villain who helps Batman save his parents for some self - serving reason.
Emotionally, Naruto would have to deal with a whole new set of family relationships. He grew up without his parents, and now having them back would be a huge adjustment. He might struggle to fit into a 'normal' family dynamic, and there could be some friction as they all get to know each other again.
In some fanfictions, Naruto might find a super - powerful jutsu or artifact. For example, he could discover a long - lost forbidden jutsu that has the power to bring the dead back to life. Or perhaps he stumbles upon a magical item during one of his adventures that is said to be able to revive the deceased.
On a personal level, Naruto would finally get the family he always wanted. But it might also bring some confusion and adjustment issues. His parents would be from a different time, and they'd need to adapt to the new world Naruto lives in. For example, they might be shocked by the new technology and the changes in ninja warfare.
Iruka could play a role. He was Naruto's first teacher who believed in him. He might have some small piece of information that starts Naruto on his journey to find his parents. Then there's Tsunade. As the Hokage, she has access to a lot of secret files. She could either be an obstacle, not wanting Naruto to dig too deep, or she could be a helper, providing him with crucial information. And of course, the Nine - Tailed Fox. It was sealed inside Naruto by his father, so it might have some memories or knowledge related to Naruto's parents that it could share with Naruto.
Obviously, Harry Potter is the main character as he is the one trying to save his parents. His parents, James and Lily Potter, would also be important characters even though they are the ones being saved. There might also be other characters like Dumbledore. Dumbledore could play a role in guiding Harry in his mission, either by providing advice or by giving him some magical tool or knowledge that helps him in his quest to save his parents.
