Perhaps in this fanfiction, Naruto has some sort of special power or transformation that he unlocks just in time to face Orochimaru. It could be related to his Nine - Tails chakra in a new and unique way. He uses this power to break through Orochimaru's defenses and save Hiruzen. Naruto might also use his knowledge of Orochimaru's weaknesses that he has learned either from Jiraiya or from his own past encounters with Orochimaru's minions.
Naruto would likely win. Godlike Naruto implies he has extraordinary powers. Naruto has strong chakra reserves, and his signature jutsus like Rasengan are extremely powerful. Also, his ability to quickly adapt in battle gives him an edge over Orochimaru.
Maybe Naruto is put in a situation where he feels that Hiruzen's way of handling things is the best option. For instance, if there is a major crisis in the village that requires a more traditional and experienced approach, Naruto might choose to act like Hiruzen. Also, he could be influenced by the stories he has heard about Hiruzen and wants to fill his shoes in a way.
In a fanfiction of Hiruzen's daughter and Minato, perhaps Hiruzen's daughter is initially in awe of Minato's skills. Minato, on the other hand, is kind and respectful towards her. Their relationship could develop when they are paired up for a special mission. During the mission, they learn to trust each other completely and start to have feelings for one another. This could lead to a beautiful love story set in the world of ninjas.
One possible scenario in a 'Naruto Saves Hiruzen' fanfic could be that Naruto uses his newfound powers. Maybe he has mastered a new jutsu that allows him to turn back time briefly. He then uses this power to go back to the moment when Hiruzen is in danger. Naruto's quick thinking and his never - give - up attitude would be highlighted in such a fanfic.
Perhaps Naruto discovers a prophecy that Hiruzen will be in danger. So, he starts to train extra hard to be able to face whatever threat is coming. When the time comes, he uses his speed, which he has enhanced through rigorous training, to reach Hiruzen before the enemy can land a final blow.
One aspect that could be delved into is their different leadership styles. Hiruzen was more of a traditional leader, while Tsunade brought a new perspective. Fanfiction might show how they interacted regarding village policies and decision - making. For example, they could have had debates on how to handle the ninja academy or allocate resources.
He could have the power to instantly heal any injury. His chakra might be so vast that he can create multiple clones without getting tired. Also, he might be able to control the elements in ways that are beyond normal shinobi capabilities.
In some Orochimaru lemon fanfic, he might be portrayed as having a more seductive or alluring side. However, this is a very unorthodox view compared to his original character in the Naruto series. His intelligence and cunning nature might still be emphasized, but in a more sexually charged context which is not really in line with the official Naruto story.
