One plotline could be that Naruto is taken in by a group of outcasts. He then grows up learning different values from them, and instead of aiming to be Hokage in the traditional sense, he wants to create a new kind of leadership for the outcasts in the village. Another could be that he is found by a wandering ninja who trains him in a more unorthodox way, leading to Naruto having unique skills and a different view of the ninja world.
Well, being abandoned at a young age in fanfiction would likely make Naruto more distrustful at first. He might be overly cautious around new people, always expecting to be left behind again. This would be a big change from his canon self who is so eager to make friends. It could also make him more self - reliant, having to fend for himself from a young age.
One idea could be that she has to balance her ninja duties with motherhood. For example, she might have to go on a mission while her baby is still very young. She could struggle with leaving her child behind but also feel the need to protect the village. Maybe she enlists the help of her friends like Sakura to take care of the baby while she's away.
One consequence could be that he faces a lot of envy from his peers. Many ninjas who have been training for years might feel resentful that Naruto, who is much younger, has achieved such a high rank. This could create some tension within the village.
Yes, in many fanfictions, Naruto can reach Kage - level at a young age. Writers often give him special training, unique powers, or accelerated growth to make this possible. For example, he might get a super - powerful mentor who teaches him advanced jutsu quickly.
He could marry Hinata. They have a pre - existing relationship in the original series. Hinata has always had feelings for Naruto, so it would be a natural choice. In the fanfiction, their relationship could progress more quickly, leading to an early marriage.
A scenario could be that Naruto and Kurama work together to protect the village from a small - scale attack early on. This would make Naruto a hero in the eyes of the villagers much sooner. Or perhaps Kurama helps Naruto understand his own family history better. Maybe Kurama reveals some secrets about Minato that Naruto didn't know. It could also be that Naruto uses Kurama's power to impress his peers at the academy, which could lead to some new friendships.
Naruto's strong sense of justice and his unwavering determination to protect the village could also play a role. He has shown time and again that he would sacrifice anything for Konoha. His moral compass and his courage in the face of danger could be seen as qualities befitting a Jounin, even at a young age.
In this fanfiction, Naruto might become a Jounin at a young age due to his extraordinary growth. Maybe he has a special training regime with a powerful mentor. His quick rise could also be because of a new and powerful jutsu he discovers. This would make the village elders recognize his strength and promote him early.
One possible cause could be an illness. Maybe there was a hidden disease that was slowly weakening Naruto, and despite the efforts of the village's medical ninjas, they couldn't save him. Another cause could be a powerful enemy attack that was specifically designed to target Naruto and his unique abilities. This enemy might have found a way to bypass Naruto's defenses and deliver a fatal blow.
