His relationships would be in turmoil. Naruto not being aware of his emotions is like sailing a ship without a compass. In his relationships, especially with those close to him, he'd be lost. He might do things that seem out of character because he's not in touch with his feelings. For instance, when it comes to his sensei, he may not be able to show the proper respect or gratitude because he doesn't understand the emotions behind those concepts. His friends would constantly be trying to figure out what's wrong with him, and he'd be equally confused, leading to a lot of strife in his relationships.
Well, Naruto might start to have some self - discovery moments. Maybe he has a dream or a vision that makes him question his lack of emotional awareness. He could also start to keep a journal to try and figure out his feelings. As he goes on missions, he might observe how his comrades handle their emotions and learn from them. Additionally, he could become more empathetic as he tries to understand his own emotions, which would be an interesting turn in his character development.
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.
Well, Naruto in fanfiction often shows his emotions verbally. He's not one to hold his tongue. So, he might passionately declare his love for Hinata in a really sappy and over - the - top way that makes everyone around him roll their eyes but also feel the warmth of his emotions. Also, when he's sad, he could be shown as isolating himself from the group, which is a clear sign of his inner turmoil.
One way is to put Naruto in situations where his lack of understanding of emotions causes problems. This could lead to conflicts with his friends or allies. As he tries to resolve these issues, he begins to figure out how emotions work. For instance, if he accidentally offends someone because he doesn't get their emotional state, he has to make amends and in the process, learn about that particular emotion.
A possible plotline could be that Naruto is sent on a mission where he has to deal with a group of people who communicate solely through emotions. Since he doesn't understand emotions well, he struggles to complete the mission. Another one is that he tries to form a closer bond with Sasuke, but his lack of emotional understanding keeps creating misunderstandings between them.
It could be for strategic reasons. In the world of ninjas, showing too much emotion can be a weakness. Naruto might think that by sealing his emotions, he can become a more effective ninja and better protect his village.
Perhaps in the fanfiction, Naruto accepts his dark emotions with the help of his friends. His friends, like Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi, might encourage him to face his inner demons. They tell him that it's okay to have dark emotions and that everyone has them. Naruto then starts to accept his own, knowing that he doesn't have to face them alone. His friends' support gives him the confidence to embrace his whole self, including the darker aspects of his emotions.
One consequence could be that Naruto becomes more empathetic. By accepting his dark emotions, he can better understand the pain and struggles of others who also have their own inner turmoil. For example, he might be able to relate more to villains he once fought against. Another consequence is that he gains more control over his power. His dark emotions were probably holding back some of his true potential, and once he accepts them, he can use that energy in a more focused and effective way in battles.
Well, in his relationships, it causes a lot of confusion. His friends may try to communicate their emotions to him, but he just doesn't get it. This can lead to misunderstandings and even arguments. In a romantic relationship, it would be even more difficult. He might not understand the concept of compromise or how to make his partner feel special. Since he doesn't understand emotions, he could end up making his partner feel unloved or unappreciated.
