In this fanfiction scenario, it might be that Naruto's values and beliefs were passed down through generations. His strong will and determination could have influenced the development of society in the world that later became Edward Elric's. This could have led to the creation of alchemy as a means to achieve power and knowledge, similar to how Naruto pursued power in his own world.
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.
He would likely still have his chakra powers. Maybe he could use chakra in ways that were similar to alchemy, like transforming matter. For example, he could use his chakra to change the shape of a rock into a weapon, much like how alchemists transmute materials.
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.
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.
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.
One way could be through a magical or scientific experiment gone wrong (or right, depending on how you look at it). Maybe a portal between their two worlds is opened and some kind of genetic or spiritual transfer occurs that makes Edward related to Tony. Another possibility is that an all - powerful being in the fanfiction universe decides to create this connection for some greater purpose, like uniting the magic of alchemy with advanced technology.
Edward might meet his parents. Since he has the chance to go back in time, he could meet them when they were alive and perhaps learn more about alchemy from them, which could change his future actions.
His sense of responsibility would grow. Edward has a huge burden on his shoulders due to his past mistakes in alchemy. Naruto, being trained by him, would understand the consequences of his actions more deeply. He would not only think about protecting his friends and village but also about the long - term effects of his decisions on the ninja world as a whole. Edward's influence would make Naruto more of a thinker and less of an impulsive hero.

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.
