Naruto has always been a character full of surprises. In the context of this fanfic, he may start by having an internal struggle. But he is likely to realize that he doesn't have to follow the same path as his family. He could begin to focus on his own strengths, like his ability to make friends easily. By building strong relationships, he can gather support from those who believe in him for himself. He could also try to develop new jutsu that are completely different from what his family is known for, thus creating his own identity.
Well, Naruto might initially be a bit downcast. However, his never - give - up attitude would kick in. He could start by looking for different ways to train that his family hadn't explored. He might also seek out mentors who can see him for who he is, not just as a member of his family. He could then gradually build his own reputation and show that he is more than just his family name.
In this kind of fanfic, Naruto might first feel a great deal of sadness. He could start to distance himself from his family. Maybe he focuses more on his training, pouring all his energy into becoming stronger so that he can prove himself without relying on his family's recognition.
One possible storyline could be Naruto trying to leave his village to find a place where he can be judged on his own merits, not his family name. Another could be that he discovers a long - lost relative who was also overshadowed and they team up to change the family's perception. Or perhaps he starts a revolution within his family to change the way they view individual achievements.
It might imply that in this fanfic, Naruto's typical heroic or central role is diminished. For example, if the fanfic is set in an alternate universe, there could be powers or events that make Naruto seem less significant compared to what we know from the original series. It could also be that the author of the fanfic wants to explore other aspects of the Naruto world and in doing so, Naruto doesn't get as much attention as he usually does.
In this kind of fanfiction, Naruto may also feel a great deal of sadness and confusion at first. However, as time goes on, he could use that pain as motivation. He might think that if his family won't recognize him, he'll make a name for himself in the ninja world in a way that they can't ignore. He could start taking on dangerous missions, not just for the village but also to show his family what they're missing out on.
Naruto may try to find out the reason why he is forgotten. He will start by reflecting on his own actions. Maybe he thinks he has done something wrong that made his family forget him. Then he will strive to correct it. At the same time, he might also seek help from his friends like Sasuke and Sakura, who always stand by him.
He might try to prove himself. Naruto has always been a determined character. So he would likely strive to show his family that they are wrong about him. He could do this by achieving great things in the ninja world, like mastering new jutsus or completing difficult missions.
Naruto could try to communicate. He could sit down with his family members and try to understand why they hate him and also explain his side of the story.
In this kind of situation, Naruto might first feel extremely sad and lonely. He could start by trying to prove himself to others. Maybe he'd focus on his ninja training more than ever, using it as a way to distract himself from the pain of being forgotten by his parents.
In such a fanfic, Naruto might initially be in a state of deep shock and denial. He could isolate himself from his friends and the village for a while, brooding over the loss and constantly replaying memories of his wife in his mind.
In such a scenario, Naruto might initially feel sad and confused. But being Naruto, he could try to prove himself. He would focus on his ninja training even more, aiming to show his family that he is worthy of their attention through his strength and achievements.
