On a more personal level, they could face internal guilt. As Naruto grows up and achieves great things on his own despite their neglect, Minato and Kushina may realize what they've missed out on. This realization could cause them a great deal of internal turmoil and regret for not being there for their son when he needed them.
There's a fanfic called 'Minato's Return'. In this story, Minato somehow returns and gets to see Naruto's growth. It's really interesting to see how he interacts with Kushina, who is also there in the story, and how they both guide Naruto in new ways. The descriptions of their family bond are heartwarming.
In many Naruto fanfictions where Naruto meets Kushina and Minato, it often creates a very emotional scenario. Naruto finally gets to meet his parents who he has only heard about. It could be a heart - warming reunion where they share stories, hugs, and Minato and Kushina get to see how far Naruto has come.
Minato would probably be very proud. He might notice Naruto's use of his own jutsu and be impressed by how Naruto has developed his skills. Kushina would be more emotional, maybe crying at the sight of Naruto growing up so well.
At first, Naruto and Kushina might start to distance themselves from Minato. They could avoid him and not talk to him as much. As time goes on, the hatred might grow deeper. Naruto could start to oppose Minato in public or in important village matters. Kushina might also try to influence others in the village against Minato.
Well, in some fanfictions, the moment when Minato sacrifices himself to save the village while Kushina is already dead is extremely emotional. It shows his selflessness and also the love he has for the village and his family. Also, the flashbacks in some stories about their early days together, like when they trained together as young ninjas and slowly fell in love, are really sweet and emotional.
It might be due to jealousy. If Minato was getting more attention or praise in the village for his achievements while Kushina felt overlooked, that could create resentment. Say, Minato was constantly being hailed as a hero for his speed and battle tactics, and Kushina, who also had great power, felt like she was in his shadow.
In many Naruto fanfictions, Minato is often portrayed as an even more brilliant strategist and a loving husband. He might be shown using his Hiraishin no Jutsu in creative ways to protect Kushina. For example, in some stories, he uses it to surprise her with little gifts or to show up just in time when she's in danger.
A fanfiction could center around a family training session. Minato trains Naruto in advanced ninjutsu techniques while Kushina teaches him about the Uzumaki clan's secrets. This would not only strengthen their family bond but also make Naruto an even more powerful ninja.
Well, I really like 'The Uzumaki Trio'. In this fanfiction, it shows the strong family unit of Kushina, Minato, and Naruto. It has great character development and some really touching moments. 'Minato's Promise' is also good. It's about Minato making a promise to Kushina before his death and how Naruto discovers this later. And 'Kushina's Strength' is a fanfic that emphasizes Kushina's power and how she and Minato complement each other.
