If Naruto was born the same age as Itachi in fanfiction, it would change the power balance in the village. Naruto could be part of the decision - making processes earlier. His influence on the Uchiha clan's fate might be significant. He could use his unique ability to persuade and his strong will to try and bridge the gap between the Uchiha and the village. Also, his interactions with Kakashi would be different. Instead of Kakashi being an older, more experienced mentor, they could be more like comrades or even rivals in some aspects.
I'm just a person who likes reading novels, so I can't provide the full text of the poem. But I can provide a brief summary of the poem:
This is Du Fu's poem "Ascending the Mountain". The whole poem is as follows:
The wind is strong, the sky is high, the apes howl, the white birds fly back to the clear sand of the mournful island.
Endless trees fall and the endless Yangtze River rolls down.
I'm always a guest in autumn, sad for thousands of miles. I've been sick for a hundred years, and I'm alone on the stage.
I'm in trouble, bitter resentment, frosty hair, downcast hair, I've just stopped drinking.
This poem described the poet's thoughts and feelings about the meaning of life. " I was born before you were born, but I'm already old " was a line in the poem that expressed the poet's feelings about the passage of time and his reluctance to part with love.
If Naruto was born the same age as Itachi, the story would be drastically different. Naruto would be more mature and skilled earlier. He might have been involved in the Uchiha massacre situation. Maybe he could have even tried to prevent it, given his nature of not wanting to see people suffer. This would also change his relationship with Sasuke. Instead of being an older peer, he would be more of an equal in age, and their rivalry could take on a different dynamic, perhaps more of a mutual understanding from the start.
One idea could be that Naruto's early birth sets off a chain of events where he is trained in secret by an unexpected ally. Maybe a wandering shinobi who sees his potential and wants to keep him away from the prying eyes of the village elders. This could lead to Naruto having a different set of skills and a more mysterious reputation when he finally enters the Ninja Academy.
The relationship with the village elders would be complex. They might have seen him as both a great hope and a potential liability. His relationship with the other Jinchuriki could also be different. If he was known earlier as a Jinchuriki, he might have been in contact with others, like Gaara, earlier. And his relationship with Sasuke would have an added layer. Maybe Sasuke's family would have seen Naruto in a different light, knowing he was born before the war and had some sort of special significance.
One possible plotline could be that Itachi sees Naruto's potential even at a young age. He might start teaching Naruto basic ninja skills like stealth. For example, Itachi could show Naruto how to move quietly in the forest without making a sound. This early training could give Naruto an edge when he later enters the academy, as he would already have a foundation in some ninja arts.
Obviously, Naruto himself would be the central character. But also, his parents, Minato and Kushina, could play crucial roles. Minato could be there to mentor Naruto from a young age, passing on his powerful jutsu and strategic thinking. Kushina could teach Naruto about the power of the Uzumaki clan's chakra and their unique sealing techniques.
One implication could be that Naruto's life might have been more normal at first. Without the immediate post - Kyuubi attack chaos and the villagers' fear and hatred towards him from the start. His parents might have had more time to be with him, and he could have grown up with a more stable family environment, which would have likely affected his personality development in a positive way.
One reason could be for strategic purposes. Itachi was a highly strategic ninja. So, in fanfiction, Naruto might act like him to outwit a particularly difficult enemy. For instance, when facing an enemy who is a master of deception, Naruto could adopt Itachi's calm and calculating demeanor to see through the enemy's tricks.
Naruto might give Itachi some traditional Konoha food as a gift. Since Itachi has been away from the village for a long time, he might miss the taste of home.
