In this fanfiction, Naruto could be friends with some new characters as well as his old pals. Rock Lee might be his fitness buddy, always challenging him to do more push - ups or run faster. Hinata could be his shy friend who has a secret crush on him. And Kiba with his dog Akamaru would be the ones who Naruto would go on adventures around the campus with, exploring the hidden corners of the college.
Well, Boruto might be really shocked. He has seen Naruto in his normal state, but seeing Naruto in the 4 - tails form through a fanfiction would be wild. He might be amazed at the power his father once had to control such a powerful and wild form. He could also start to understand more about Naruto's past struggles.
Gaara would be an obvious choice. Since Gaara is from Suna, he could be Naruto's close friend. They could train together and share their experiences of being jinchuriki. Kankuro and Temari might also become his friends. Kankuro could teach Naruto some of his puppet techniques, and Temari could help Naruto with wind - style jutsu training.
Twilight Sparkle could be one of his friends. Since she is very intelligent and into learning new things, she would be interested in Naruto's ninja skills and knowledge.
He could be friends with the class clown. The class clown would be drawn to Naruto's fun - loving and energetic nature. They would get into all sorts of silly adventures together at Sainan High, like pranking the strict teachers in harmless ways.
He'd probably be a bit of shocked. Since fanfiction often contains things that are quite different from what he knows. For example, if it shows a different future for his friends, it would be unexpected for him.
First, approach it with an open mind. Don't expect it to be exactly like the original Naruto series. Fanfiction is all about creativity and exploring new ideas.
Well, without friends, Naruto might become more self - reliant. He'd have to rely solely on himself for training and getting stronger. He might also grow to be more reserved as he doesn't have friends to share his thoughts and feelings with. This could make him more of a lone wolf type, focusing only on his goals like becoming Hokage without the distractions or support of comrades.
One possible reason could be jealousy. Maybe Naruto has been getting more attention from the village elders or teachers because of his potential. His friends, feeling left out or overshadowed, might start to ignore him out of envy.
