In a 'naruto acts like gin fanfiction', Naruto might be quieter and more observant. Instead of his usual boisterous self, he could be more like Gin, who is often sly and calculating. Maybe he would have a more subdued way of showing his power and a different approach to his enemies.

Maybe Naruto admires Kakashi's skills. Kakashi is a highly respected ninja, and Naruto might want to be as good as him. So he starts acting like him to learn from him.
Sakura would be worried sick. She'd try to figure out what happened to Naruto to make him act this way.

She'd be very vocal about her concerns and would try to get the other villagers to help bring Naruto back to his normal self.
The fanfiction could explore Naruto being in a situation where he has to act like Madara to deceive the enemy. He gradually gets too deep into the role and starts to actually think and act like Madara on a more permanent basis.

They then try to bring the old Naruto back.
One possible plot could be that Naruto, after being exposed to some strange chakra or magic, starts to take on Grimmjow's aggressive and fearless attitude.

If Naruto were to act like Yujiro in a fanfiction, it would change his relationships too. He would no longer be the overly - friendly Naruto we know.

And as he does this, his relationships with everyone around him start to crumble.
