Well, in Naruto fanfiction, if there's a neglected baby, it might be that the baby is the offspring of a missing - nin. The village, fearing the baby could grow up to be like its parent, neglects it. Maybe the baby has a chakra nature that is considered 'cursed' in the Naruto world, like some form of dark chakra. As a result, the people around avoid the baby, leaving it to fend for itself in a cruel environment.
Maybe in the 'naruto neglected iwa fanfiction', there's a story where Iwa has a secret technique that could have been useful in the great ninja wars, but because they are neglected, they are not invited to share this knowledge. As a result, a young Iwa ninja goes on a journey to find a way to make the other villages recognize their worth and the importance of their techniques.
Perhaps in the fanfiction, Madara's neglect leads him to explore ancient and forgotten jutsu. He could use these newly discovered powers to show the ninja world what they've been missing by ignoring him. This could involve him making a grand display of his strength to gain the respect he believes he deserves.
Another storyline could involve Naruto's sister being trained more rigorously by the village elders because they see more potential in her. Naruto, feeling neglected, then goes on a self - discovery journey to find his own strength outside the village's traditional training methods. As he grows stronger, his sister realizes the mistake of the elders and tries to make it up to Naruto.
One possible storyline could be Naruto growing up feeling isolated and constantly seeking validation. He might strive harder in his ninja training to prove himself, not just to the village but also to the memory of his father. Another could be that he forms stronger bonds with other outcasts in the village, like Rock Lee, who also had to overcome challenges.
One possible storyline could be Naruto exploring the village and finding a surrogate family among the outcasts. He might bond with them over shared experiences of being shunned. Another could be Naruto trying to prove his worth to his neglectful family by achieving great things in the ninja world, like becoming Hokage. Or perhaps he discovers a long - lost relative who actually cares for him and they go on a journey to make his family recognize his value.
In this type of fanfiction, a likely scenario is that Naruto's sisters are favored in terms of education in ninjutsu. Naruto, being neglected, might have to find alternative ways to learn. He could end up befriending an old and wise ninja who takes him under his wing. This mentor could teach Naruto unique and powerful techniques that his sisters are not exposed to. As Naruto becomes stronger, his family starts to notice him, but by then he has already formed his own identity separate from their expectations.
One possible storyline could be that Naruto, feeling constantly neglected, decides to leave Konoha in search of a place where he can be truly accepted. He might stumble upon a hidden village that has its own unique ninja culture and there he begins to train in new and different ways, far from the scorn he faced in Konoha.
Another storyline could involve the female Akatsuki member using Naruto's situation of being neglected to her advantage. She could try to convince him to join the Akatsuki, promising him a place where he would be valued. However, Naruto would have to struggle with the moral implications of joining a group that is considered evil. As the story progresses, he might end up changing the Akatsuki from within instead.
Well, he could start to explore the reasons behind his parents' neglect. Maybe he uncovers some dark family secrets that were the cause.

And as he faces these challenges, he slowly transforms from a bitter, neglected child to a more self - aware and powerful individual.
One possible storyline could be Minato's struggle to find a cure for Naruto's sickness. He might search through all the hidden jutsu in Konoha, asking for help from the elders and the medical ninjas. Another could be Minato's emotional journey as he takes care of his sick baby. He'd be filled with worry, but also determination to see Naruto healthy. For example, he could sacrifice his own sleep to stay by Naruto's side, constantly monitoring his condition.
