The dreams about Hinata can also give Naruto a sense of purpose. If in his dream, he sees Hinata as part of his future, he will strive harder to become a better ninja. He wants to be worthy of her and protect her. This motivation can push him to train harder, learn new jutsus, and take on more dangerous missions. His character then develops into a more determined and goal - oriented Naruto, all because of his dreams about Hinata.
In such fanfiction, Hinata's actions could potentially stunt Naruto's growth. If she hurts him, Naruto, who is often portrayed as sensitive beneath his bravado, might become more guarded. It could lead to him doubting his own self - worth, especially if the hurt comes from someone he cares about or trusts.
Hinata might become more confident in herself. After seeing Naruto's memories of his own struggles and how he overcame them, she could apply the same principles to her own life. For example, if she sees how Naruto faced his insecurities about being a jinchuriki, she could face her own insecurities about her skills as a ninja more bravely. This would lead to a more well - rounded and strong Hinata.
In this gender - bender scenario, Naruto as a female would likely have her development centered around breaking gender stereotypes. She would still have her strong will but might face new obstacles. Hinata as a male would experience a shift in his development. He could start to take on more leadership roles, which is different from his original shy self. This would change how they interact with others in the village and on missions, and ultimately shape their growth in the story.
Naruto's haircut can be a sign of his maturing. A new haircut in fanfiction might show that he's leaving his old, more impulsive self behind.
They can make him more confident. Having these clan abilities gives Naruto a stronger sense of identity within the fanfic, which boosts his self - assurance.
When it comes to the bloodlines in fanfiction for Naruto, let's take the Hyuga bloodline as an example. The Byakugan could give him a different perspective on combat and his surroundings, making him more cautious and observant. If he has the Kaguya bloodline, it could make him more of an enigma, as the Kaguya were so powerful and otherworldly. His character might become more isolated as others fear his newfound power. And if he has an enhanced Uzumaki bloodline, it could boost his already strong willpower and determination, making him even more unyielding in the face of adversity.
His view of the world might change. Naruto is generally very positive, but being exiled by his own clan could make him more cynical. He might start to question the loyalty and fairness of family and clans in general. However, he could also use this experience to grow stronger and more empathetic towards others who are also ostracized.
It can speed up their relationship development. His overprotectiveness shows his feelings for her, and Hinata may feel more secure and cared for. This can lead to her opening up more to Naruto and their relationship becoming closer faster.
Naruto's heartbreak can make him more cynical. He was always an optimist in his original story, but in the DxD fanfiction, the heartbreak could chip away at his positive outlook. He might start to question the motives of others more often.
The fear could also make him question his own identity as a ninja. If he is afraid of ninjas, does that mean he is also afraid of what he is? This internal conflict would be a major part of his character development. He would have to face his fear, understand the true nature of being a ninja, and decide whether he wants to continue on the ninja path or find an alternative way of life.
