Perhaps in this fanfiction, Minato and Kushina leave Naruto because they are cursed. They fear that the curse will harm Naruto if they stay close. So, they go into exile. As Naruto grows up, he starts to discover clues about his parents' real reason for leaving and sets out on a quest to find them and break the curse. This could lead to many adventures and character - development moments for Naruto.
One possibility could be that Naruto discovers a long - hidden secret about his family that makes him feel betrayed. For example, he might find out that Minato and Kushina had made a deal with a dangerous enemy in the past that put the village at risk. This would be so against Naruto's values of protecting the village and his friends that he decides to leave them.
Maybe in the fanfiction, there is a powerful enemy who wants to use Naruto's connection to his parents against him. So, they somehow manage to bring Minato and Kushina back to the physical world. When they meet Naruto, it's an emotional moment. They form a plan to defeat the enemy together. Minato uses his strategic skills, Kushina her strength, and Naruto his own unique abilities learned over the years.
It might be due to jealousy. If Minato was getting more attention or praise in the village for his achievements while Kushina felt overlooked, that could create resentment. Say, Minato was constantly being hailed as a hero for his speed and battle tactics, and Kushina, who also had great power, felt like she was in his shadow.
One possible plot could be Minato and Kushina looking on with pride as Naruto marries Hinata. They might be reminiscing about their own relationship and how far Naruto has come. They could also be interacting with the other guests, sharing stories of Naruto's childhood that the others may not know.
One possible plot could be that Minato and Kushina are somehow brought back to life in a spiritual or semi - physical form. They then embark on a journey through the ninja world to find Naruto. Along the way, they encounter various characters who either help or hinder them. Maybe they have to face some old enemies who are still lurking in the shadows and trying to stop them from reuniting with Naruto.
Well, perhaps in this fanfiction, Evil Minato and Kushina find Naruto when he is at a very vulnerable state. They see an opportunity to use him for their evil plans. Their plans might involve using Naruto's Jinchuriki power to open a portal to a dimension full of dark energy. But Naruto, being the resilient character he is, tries to resist them. He calls upon the memories of his friends and the village that has always supported him, and he gradually starts to turn the tables on his 'evil' parents.
Naruto would likely be very confused and hurt. He would grow up with a sense of abandonment that could make him more withdrawn at first. But this could also fuel his determination to prove himself, as he may feel he has to be strong without his parents. He might also be more eager to seek answers about his parents as he gets older.
On a more personal level, they could face internal guilt. As Naruto grows up and achieves great things on his own despite their neglect, Minato and Kushina may realize what they've missed out on. This realization could cause them a great deal of internal turmoil and regret for not being there for their son when he needed them.
The family dynamic in fanfiction could be quite interesting. Minato could be a strict but fair father, pushing Naruto to be the best ninja he can be. Kushina would balance this with her motherly love, always there to comfort Naruto when he fails. They would celebrate Uzumaki traditions together, and Naruto would learn about his parents' pasts. He would look up to Minato as a great Hokage and to Kushina as a strong - willed Uzumaki. Their family would be a source of strength for Naruto as he grows up in the ninja world.
One possible plotline could be that Minato and Kushina train Naruto to master his chakra control more effectively. They might use their own unique jutsu and skills to teach him. For example, Minato could teach Naruto advanced space - time ninjutsu techniques that he himself was famous for, like the Flying Thunder God Technique. Kushina, on the other hand, could focus on helping Naruto understand the power of the Nine - Tails better and how to use its chakra in a more harmonious way. This could involve special training sessions where Naruto has to learn to balance his own chakra with that of the Nine - Tails under their guidance.
