The overall plot would shift. Instead of Naruto's journey being focused on achieving the Hokage title, it could be about him finding a new purpose. This could involve exploring different parts of the ninja world, or getting involved in other aspects of village life like improving the economy or cultural exchanges. The fanfiction could introduce new conflicts and resolutions that are not related to the typical Hokage - related challenges in the original story.
The relationships in the story could be different. Since Naruto is not aiming for the Hokage position, his interactions with characters like Sasuke, who was also involved in the power dynamics of the village in some ways, would change. Maybe they would focus more on other aspects of their friendship or rivalry rather than Naruto's pursuit of Hokage.
Well, it completely alters the traditional narrative. Naruto's connection to Konoha was a huge part of the original story. Without his desire to return, it changes the relationships he has with his friends there like Sasuke, Sakura, etc.
Well, in the original story, Jiraiya played a big role in Naruto's emotional growth too. If he doesn't train Naruto in the fanfiction, Naruto might lack the father - figure like guidance that Jiraiya provided. This could lead to Naruto making different decisions in life, both in terms of his relationships and his ninja career. For example, he might not have the same understanding of the ninja world's politics and power struggles, which could put him at a disadvantage. Also, his connection to the Sage Mode might be completely different or non - existent, which would change how he fares in battles against powerful enemies.
Maybe he discovers other dreams or goals. He could find that there are other ways to protect the village and his friends that don't require him to be Hokage. He might be more interested in exploring the ninja world, learning new jutsus, or even teaching the younger generation about ninjutsu rather than taking on the political and leadership role of Hokage.
Well, it changes the family dynamic significantly. In the original story, family is a very important theme, especially later when Naruto discovers his connection to his parents. In this fanfiction, the lack of communication with his family means Naruto may not have the same support system, which could lead to a different path in his ninja journey.
Well, it changes the emotional core. In the original Naruto story, family is an important underlying theme. Removing Naruto's feelings for his family shifts the focus. For instance, his motivation for becoming strong might no longer be related to impressing his father or living up to his family's name.
Well, it could completely shift the plot. Instead of Naruto being the village's hero, he might become an outcast or even an antagonist. His relationships with characters like Sasuke, who has his own complex feelings about Konoha, would be radically different. For example, they might team up against Konoha rather than Naruto trying to bring Sasuke back to the village.
It changes the dynamic between Naruto and the village. Since Sarutobi was an important figure in the village, Naruto's distrust can create a rift not just between them but also between Naruto and the traditional village values Sarutobi represented.
If Naruto doesn't become Hokage, his relationship with Sasuke might be less strained. Since there's no need to compete for the top position in the village, they could focus more on their friendship. They might go on missions together more often just for the sake of adventure and to protect each other.
Well, it could make the story much darker. Naruto's family, especially his parents, are important in his growth. If he doesn't care about them, his values would be completely different. He might become more self - centered and less likely to fight for the village. For example, his motivation to protect Konoha was partly because of his father's legacy. Without that family - driven motivation, he could turn into a character who is only after personal power.
Well, if Naruto doesn't care about Team 7 in fanfiction, it could lead to a complete shift in the plot. For example, the team dynamics would be severely disrupted. Sasuke might feel even more isolated and could turn even darker much quicker. Sakura would be left confused and perhaps try to reach out to Naruto more desperately, which could create new conflicts. Also, missions would be affected as Naruto's lack of care might mean he doesn't put in his usual effort, endangering the team more often.
