Sakura might be surprised at first, but then she could start to see Naruto as an even more important figure. She might be more eager to support him in his quests.
Iruka would probably be proud. He was always supportive of Naruto, and this new knowledge would just add to his sense of pride in Naruto. He might also try to help Naruto understand his father's legacy better. As for Sasuke, he could have a complex reaction. He might see Naruto as more of a rival now, not just in terms of power but also in terms of the legacy they both carry.
Well, it might change the way people in Konoha treat Naruto. They might show more respect or have different expectations of him. For example, some might think he should be a natural leader like his father.
Maybe a group of rogue ninjas who initially see Naruto as a target but then end up joining forces with him. They have different skills and personalities that add to the story.
I think it's a really bad idea. Naruto is a hero in the series, and the fourth Hokage is also a great character. Linking them in such a negative and inappropriate way is disrespectful to the story and the fans who love it.
One potential consequence could be widespread destruction. The Kyuubi is an extremely powerful force. Buildings would likely be demolished, and many shinobi might be injured or killed trying to combat it. Another consequence could be a shift in the power dynamics within Konoha. Some might see Naruto as a threat, while others might try to use this situation to gain power themselves.
His training would probably be more advanced. Since they know his connection to the fourth, they might give him access to special jutsus and training methods that were reserved for the elite.
Well, Naruto's friends and comrades from his past adventures are likely to be in it. But also, there could be some spiritual or mythical characters related to the concept of the golden fox. For example, there might be an old sage who knows the secrets of the golden fox and can guide Naruto on how to use its power properly. There could also be other villages' representatives who come to Konoha to see this 'Naruto with the golden fox' phenomenon and see if it poses a threat or an opportunity for their own villages.
Sasuke could be involved. He might either try to stop Naruto from leaving, believing that they should face whatever comes together in Konoha, or he could decide to join Naruto on his journey, as they have a deep bond.
If Konoha knows Naruto is the fourth one in this fanfic, it would have a far - reaching impact. Firstly, Naruto's self - perception would be different. He wouldn't have to strive so hard for recognition. The plot would deviate from the original in many ways. The Akatsuki's view of Naruto might change as well, as they would be more cautious dealing with someone with such a connection. Konoha's internal politics could also be affected. There might be different factions trying to influence Naruto or use his connection to the fourth for their own purposes. His relationships with the Hokage lineage would be more open and complex, and he might be involved in Konoha's top - level decision - making at an earlier age.
The main characters would most likely start with Naruto. His character would be central to the story. Alongside him, we might see the Hokage at the time also playing a role. Additionally, there could be a group of shinobi who are specialized in dealing with demons that Naruto teams up with. And perhaps some of the villains or demons themselves could be considered main characters in a sense, as they drive the conflict in the story.
Another main character could be Kakashi. As Naruto's former teacher, he might be conflicted about Naruto's exile. He could be trying to find a way to bring Naruto back to Konoha or at least help him in some way while also having to deal with the village's decision. And of course, there could be new characters introduced specifically for this fanfic, like a mysterious figure who helps Naruto during his exile.
