A third plotline might be that with his parents alive, Naruto becomes a sort of bridge between different generations of ninja. Minato and Kushina could share their experiences from the previous wars with the younger generation. Naruto would be influenced by their wisdom and use it to bring about a new era of peace in the ninja world. He could also have a more normal family life, which would include family outings and celebrations, something he always yearned for.
One possible plotline could be that Minato and Kushina raise Naruto as a normal child in Konoha. Naruto would grow up with their love and guidance, which would significantly change his personality. He might be more confident from the start and not have that intense need to prove himself. Also, Minato could train Naruto personally, and Naruto might inherit his father's skills much earlier, leading to different adventures and battles in the ninja world.
Another plotline could involve Naruto's parents being alive and changing the political situation in Konoha. With Minato still as the Hokage, he could make different decisions regarding the Uchiha clan. This might prevent the Uchiha massacre, and Sasuke's story would also take a different turn. Naruto, growing up in this more stable environment, could focus on other aspects of being a ninja, like forging stronger alliances with other villages from a young age.
