Well, it could mean Naruto would adopt Edward's sense of fashion. He might start wearing long red coats and black pants, just like Edward. In the fanfiction, Naruto could also learn about Edward's moral code. Edward has a strong sense of right and wrong when it comes to alchemy, and Naruto could use that to re - evaluate his own actions as a ninja. Maybe he would be more cautious about using certain jutsus that have a high cost or moral implications.
In this fanfiction, Naruto could form a unique bond with the characters from the Fullmetal Alchemist universe. He might become friends with Alphonse, and they could share their experiences of losing a part of themselves. Naruto could also get involved in the search for the Philosopher's Stone, using his ninja abilities to help Edward and Alphonse. He could learn from Edward how to use alchemy without being consumed by the power, which would be a great addition to his ninja journey.
Well, it could be a story full of heartwarming moments. Riza, being a very disciplined and kind - hearted character, might instill in Edward new values. She could help him deal with his past traumas related to his alchemy experiments. Maybe she'd teach him how to better control his emotions, which were often a trigger for his impulsive alchemical actions. Edward, on the other hand, would bring his own spunk and determination to the relationship. He could also introduce Riza to a more adventurous side of life as he's always been on quests and facing challenges.
One more great plot could be Naruto being trained by Edward in alchemy. Edward is a brilliant alchemist despite his young age. Naruto, with his eagerness to learn new things, would soak up all the knowledge. He could start creating his own alchemical ninja tools. For example, he could make a kunai that can transmute into different forms depending on the situation. And as he gets better at alchemy, he might start to question his own ninja way. Is it really all that different from alchemy? This internal struggle could add a lot of depth to the fanfiction.
Perhaps it's a story where Naruto has the same kind of tragic backstory as Edward. Maybe Naruto loses Sasuke in a way similar to how Edward lost his mother and brother's body. So Naruto starts to study alchemy in the hope of getting Sasuke back. Along the way, he meets Edward and they learn from each other's experiences and fighting styles, and together they face the challenges in both their worlds.
Yes, there are likely fanfictions out there with such a concept. The worlds of Naruto and Fullmetal Alchemist, where Edward Elric comes from, are quite different, but that's what makes the idea of a crossover in fanfiction so interesting. Writers might explore how Naruto's ninja world and its unique powers could interact with Edward's alchemical abilities and the complex world of Amestris.
The story would likely become a tale of redemption. Even as Pride, Edward may still have some lingering humanity. His friends and allies could try to remind him of who he really is. There could be a series of events where he slowly starts to realize the error of his ways as Pride. Maybe he sees the harm he is causing to those he cares about, or he has a moment of self - reflection that makes him question his new identity. This could lead to a great climax where he either fully reverts back to his old self or finds a new way to exist that combines the best of both his old and new identities.
One possible outcome is that Naruto would gain a different perspective on alchemy. Edward's scientific approach to combat and his understanding of equivalent exchange could influence Naruto's way of thinking. Naruto might start to analyze his jutsu in a more methodical way, similar to how Edward approaches alchemy. For example, he could consider the energy input and output of his shadow clone jutsu more carefully.
If Edward Elric becomes Pride in fanfiction, it could lead to a really interesting plot twist. His alchemy skills might be warped in a new and dangerous way. Instead of using alchemy for good, like he usually does, he could start using it for Pride's more self - serving and malevolent purposes. Also, his physical form might change to something more in line with what Pride is like in the original story. This could make for some really intense fight scenes, especially if he has to face off against his former allies who now see him as a threat.
In fanfiction where Edward Elric becomes a Homunculus, his appearance would likely change. He might have the characteristic red eyes of a Homunculus. His physical abilities would be enhanced, but at the cost of his humanity. He'd be more connected to the Homunculus' plans and goals, perhaps being forced to work against his former comrades. However, he could also use his new position to try and undermine the Homunculus from within, but it would be a difficult and dangerous path to take.
The plot could involve Naruto somehow getting cursed by Slenderman. This curse starts to affect his ninja abilities, like his chakra control. As he tries to figure out what's wrong, he discovers the connection to Slenderman. He then has to journey into the dark and mysterious places where Slenderman lurks to break the curse. Along the way, he might meet some of Slenderman's minions and have to fight them using his unique jutsu.
Well, in a Naruto becomes a hollow fanfiction, perhaps the chakra system in Naruto gets corrupted and turns him into a hollow. His appearance would change to something more menacing. He might start to crave spiritual energy instead of normal food. His relationships with other characters would be on edge. For example, his bond with his teacher Kakashi would be tested as Kakashi tries to figure out how to reverse the transformation or at least help Naruto co - exist with his new hollow self.
