Well, in a fanfiction where Naruto is adopted by Orochimaru, Naruto's ninja way would be severely distorted. Orochimaru is a power - hungry and somewhat amoral character. He would influence Naruto's values. Naruto might start to believe that the ends justify the means when it comes to achieving power. His training would be much harsher and more dangerous compared to what he had in Konoha. He may even be sent on some morally ambiguous missions. And his growth as a ninja would be a strange blend of Orochimaru's ruthlessness and his own natural tenacity.
In a fanfiction where Naruto is adopted by Orochimaru, Naruto's development would take a very different turn. Orochimaru could train Naruto to be more ruthless in combat. However, Naruto might also resist Orochimaru's darker intentions. This internal struggle could be a major part of the story. Naruto might try to find a way to use Orochimaru's knowledge for good, while still holding onto his own values. He could also face discrimination from other ninjas who see him as Orochimaru's apprentice and therefore a potential threat.
In this kind of fanfiction, Naruto might gain a whole new set of skills. Orochimaru is known for his vast knowledge of jutsu. If he was good, he could teach Naruto some unique and powerful techniques that the normal Naruto wouldn't have access to. For example, Orochimaru's snake - related jutsu could be modified for Naruto to use in a more positive way, perhaps for quick evasion or even for some kind of new attack form.
In such a fanfiction, Naruto might become more ruthless. Orochimaru is known for his dark and self - serving ways. He could train Naruto in more aggressive and unorthodox techniques. Naruto might also develop a more solitary and distrustful nature, different from his original friendly self.
Well, it would be a very dark turn. Gato is a cruel and greedy character. Naruto might be forced to do bad things. Maybe he'd be used for Gato's illegal business. He could be made to fight against his friends in Konoha later on.
In such a fanfiction, Naruto might gain a very different kind of mentorship. Anko is known for her wild and somewhat unpredictable nature. She could teach Naruto some unique jutsu that are not part of the regular Konoha curriculum. For example, she might introduce him to some more unorthodox combat styles that rely on stealth and quick, decisive strikes. Also, Anko's own experiences with Orochimaru could make her extra vigilant in protecting Naruto from similar threats, leading to some intense and action - packed plotlines as she fends off potential enemies who might target Naruto because of his status as a jinchuriki.
In this fanfiction, perhaps Hana adopts Naruto because she sees his potential and the loneliness in him. She could help him better understand his ninja abilities. Also, Naruto might get to know a different side of the ninja world through Hana's perspective. For example, he could learn more about animal companions in a different way compared to how he learned about the toads. Hana might also introduce him to new friends or allies that he wouldn't have met otherwise, which could change the course of his ninja journey in interesting ways.
Well, in this kind of fanfiction, Naruto might grow up with a different kind of family environment. He could be influenced by the Uchiha clan's traditions and values. Maybe he would learn some Uchiha - specific jutsu earlier. And he would probably have a closer relationship with Sasuke from the start as they would be like brothers in a sense.
Well, it could be really wild. Naruto's energetic and determined nature might clash or blend well with Loki's mischievousness. Maybe Loki sees something in Naruto that reminds him of himself, like being an outcast in a way. He could teach Naruto some of his magic tricks, and Naruto could show Loki the value of true friendship and loyalty.
One possible story could be that Naruto gains a whole new set of skills. Yoruichi is very agile and stealthy in her own universe. She might teach Naruto how to move more quietly and efficiently. Naruto could also learn about different forms of combat from her. His chakra control might improve under her guidance as she has her own unique understanding of energy and power.
It would be really strange. Naruto is known for his positive and sunny personality, while Orochimaru is dark and devious. A fanfiction might explore how Naruto would struggle with his father's bad reputation. Maybe Naruto would try to change Orochimaru's ways or be conflicted about his own identity.
