RWBY's reactions would vary. Ruby, with her child - like wonder, would immediately dive into the fanfiction, eager to discover new things. Yang, being the action - oriented one, would look for the parts with the most intense combat. Weiss would approach it with a more critical eye, perhaps comparing it to the stories she grew up with. Blake, on the other hand, would be more reflective. She might see the struggles of the Naruto characters and relate them to her own struggles against the Grimm and her past. Overall, it would be an interesting experience for all of them.
Kiba and Akamaru might find it really funny. They have a more light - hearted nature. They would enjoy reading about the different battles and situations the characters are put in, in the fanfiction. They might even get some inspiration for their own training or adventures from the wild ideas in the fanfiction.
For Hinata, it would be a crushing blow. She loved Naruto so much. She might withdraw into herself at first, overcome with grief. But then, she could find the strength within herself to carry on Naruto's legacy, especially for their son, Boruto (if in a post - Naruto - has - a - family scenario in the fanfiction). Shikamaru, being Naruto's friend, would feel a deep sense of loss. He would use his intelligence to try to figure out what led to Naruto's death and if there was any way to prevent it in hindsight. And the other members of the Leaf Village would be in a state of shock and mourning. Naruto was their hero, and his death would make them question their safety and future without him.
Sakura might be a bit surprised at first. She would probably tease Naruto a little about it, but then she'd also be curious to see what's in those fanfics. She might even start reading some herself to see how the fans portray her relationship with Naruto.
Sure. The characters are a huge part of Naruto Shippuden fanfiction. Fanfic writers use the characters to attract readers who are fans of those characters. They might focus on a character's backstory that wasn't fully explored in the anime and expand on it. Also, the interactions between characters in the original show give fanfic writers ideas for different scenarios in their stories.
By their unique abilities. Naruto's Rasengan, Sasuke's Sharingan, these abilities can be the starting point for many fanfiction ideas. Writers can think about how these abilities could be used in different battles or situations not shown in the original.
One of the most popular is 'Naruto Shippuden: Sakura Hiden - Thoughts of Love, Riding Upon a Spring Breeze'. It's popular because it shows Sakura in a new light, with her own adventures and growth.
I don't think it's strange at all. Naruto is a very curious person. Fanfiction can offer new perspectives on his own life and the lives of his friends. He might learn something new about himself or get inspired by the creative ideas in the fanfiction. It could also be a form of entertainment for him during his downtime.
A Naruto x Hinata fanfiction could focus on a mission they go on together during Naruto Shippuden. They are forced to rely on each other in a dangerous situation. Hinata gets injured protecting Naruto, and Naruto is filled with a new - found determination to protect her. This experience deepens their bond, and Naruto starts to see Hinata in a whole new light, leading to the start of their romantic relationship.
One great Naruto x Hinata fanfic in Naruto Shippuden is 'A New Beginning'. It focuses on their relationship development after Naruto returns from his training. The story beautifully depicts how Hinata's feelings for Naruto become more obvious and how Naruto starts to see Hinata in a new light.
