In some fanfictions, Orochimaru might develop a sense of loyalty towards Naruto. After being around Naruto for a while, he could see Naruto as someone worthy of his loyalty. This could lead to him being more open to working with the Hidden Leaf and helping Naruto in his various missions. He might even sacrifice his own interests to protect Naruto at times, which is a complete turnaround from his initial character.
In many fanfictions, it starts with Naruto's curiosity about Orochimaru. Naruto, being the character who always wants to understand others, is drawn to Orochimaru's mystery. This initial interest then leads to more interactions, which gradually develop into a deeper bond. For example, in some stories, Naruto might try to save Orochimaru from his own dark path, which then causes Orochimaru to see Naruto in a new light.
Naruto might become more cautious. Since he has faced Orochimaru before, he knows the kind of danger he represents. So he could start to analyze situations more carefully before jumping into action.
It could develop in a very complex way. Maybe at first, it's full of hostility as Orochimaru has his own dark motives. But as the story progresses, Naruto's positive influence might start to change Orochimaru's perspective a bit.
They would develop in terms of their skills. Under Orochimaru, they would gain a lot of knowledge about chakra manipulation and forbidden jutsu. But with Naruto, they would learn about the power of bonds and friendship. This combination could lead to the development of new jutsu that combines both physical power and the strength of relationships. Also, they would grow in their understanding of right and wrong, as Naruto's moral compass would constantly be in conflict with Orochimaru's more amoral stance.
Naruto's character might develop a stronger sense of purpose. Saving Sasuke becomes more than just about their friendship; it could be about righting a wrong in the ninja world. His resolve to save Sasuke would make him train harder and become more strategic in his battles.
Naruto's character development in this fanfiction would be complex. He'd probably grow up with a sense of superiority due to Orochimaru's powerful teachings. But at the same time, he'd lack the warmth and compassion that came from his relationships in Konoha. He might be more self - centered, focused on his own power and survival. He may not have the same sense of justice as in the original Naruto, as Orochimaru's motives are not in line with the general good. And his relationship with his peers would be more of a power struggle. He might not form the same deep friendships, but rather see others as either tools or threats.
Naruto's character would likely become more conflicted. He has always been on the side of good, and joining Orochimaru, even if for a good reason, would put him in a morally gray area. His view of power might change as he is exposed to Orochimaru's unorthodox ways of obtaining it.
Naruto's character would likely become more complex. With Orochimaru as his guardian, he'd be exposed to different ways of thinking. He might become more cautious, as Orochimaru is a master of manipulation. But he'd also learn a great deal about jutsu and ninja history. His view of the world might expand, and he could become more understanding of the gray areas in the ninja world.
The story could develop in a dark direction. Naruto might start to learn Orochimaru's jutsus. His personality could become more cynical. He'd be cut off from his usual support system in Konoha.
Orochimaru's character would likely become more complex. He might start to question his past actions if he sees the consequences they had in the future. For example, if he travels back to a time when he was just starting his unethical experiments, he could see how those actions led to the destruction or harm of certain things in the future, and this could make him more hesitant or even try to change his ways. Also, if he meets important people from his past in a new light during time travel, like his old mentors or comrades, his view of relationships might change.
