Naruto's character development in this fanfiction would be complex. Initially, Zabuza's tough love approach would make Naruto more reserved and less of the boisterous kid he was in the original series. He would start to analyze situations more carefully before acting. His ninja skills would evolve in a different direction, focusing more on Zabuza's specialties like silent assassinations and water - based combat. Emotionally, he would struggle with the contrast between Zabuza's cold - blooded nature and his own warm - hearted one. But over time, he would find a way to merge the two. He would become a more well - rounded ninja, with a new understanding of the ninja world's gray areas. For example, he might be more hesitant to immediately label someone as an enemy like he did in the original series. Instead, he would try to understand their motives first, a trait that could be both a strength and a weakness depending on the situation.
Naruto's character would likely become more hardened. Zabuza is a cold - blooded killer, and being around him would expose Naruto to a different set of values. Naruto might become more reserved and calculating in his actions.
His confidence could grow significantly. By being able to save two powerful ninjas, Naruto would prove to himself that he is capable of great things. He may start to believe more in his own abilities and take on more challenging tasks without hesitation. For example, he might be more willing to take on stronger opponents in future battles.
Naruto's character could develop in terms of his understanding of the ninja world. Zabuza is a more experienced and darker - minded ninja compared to Naruto. By being with him, Naruto might start to see the grayer areas of the ninja world, not just the black - and - white view he had before.
His sense of strategy would improve. Zabuza is a tactical fighter, and Naruto would learn to plan better in battles.
If trained by Zabuza, Naruto would probably grow in terms of his combat intelligence. He'd learn to read his opponents better. His personality could become more stoic, as Zabuza is not one for excessive emotions. But Naruto would also bring some of his own warmth to Zabuza's cold - blooded training regime. He might try to humanize Zabuza and in the process, become a more complex character with a blend of Zabuza's ruthlessness and his own compassion.
Naruto's character would likely become more confident. With a family structure provided by Mikoto, he would feel more secure.

His understanding of the ninja world would expand as he learns from Mikoto about different clans and their relationships.
Naruto would likely become more calm and calculating, taking after Shikaku's personality traits.
Naruto would likely become more reserved. Since Kisame is not as expressive as some of Naruto's friends in the Leaf Village, Naruto would pick up on that. His fighting style would also change. He'd probably be more stealthy and calculating, learning from Kisame's experience. For example, instead of his usual head - on attacks, he'd start to use more misdirection and ambush tactics.
His character might become more refined. Yugao's influence could lead to Naruto having better manners and a more composed demeanor.
