Tsunade might be the most influential. Since she's the Hokage and has a lot of knowledge about leadership and different types of ninjutsu. In the fanfic, she could train Naruto to be more responsible and also teach him some powerful healing and offensive jutsus that she has mastered. Her influence could change Naruto into a more well - rounded shinobi.
It could be Jiraiya. He has a really strong bond with Naruto already. He's taught Naruto a lot in the original story too. So in the fanfic, his training could be the most in - depth, covering things like advanced rasengan variations and how to fight against really powerful enemies. His influence on Naruto's character development would also be significant.
Orochimaru could be the most influential in a strange way. His knowledge of forbidden jutsus and his unique approach to power could open Naruto's eyes to new ways of thinking about ninjutsu. Even though he's a villain - like character, his training could make Naruto more aware of the dangers in the shinobi world and how to avoid falling into the wrong path. So in terms of character growth, Orochimaru's influence could be the most impactful.
