The theme of self - discovery is also prevalent. Without the influence of his parents, Naruto has to figure out who he is on his own. He might explore different aspects of his identity and abilities. For instance, he could discover new jutsu or ways of fighting that are unique to his situation of being abandoned.
One common theme is isolation. Naruto would be all alone without his parents, and this would shape his relationships. Another theme is revenge. In some fanfictions, he might seek revenge on the village for his abandonment.
Fanfiction about Naruto being abandoned by Minato and Kushina can also be a way to explore different power - up scenarios. Since he doesn't have the emotional support from his parents, he might be forced to seek power in other ways, which could lead to a Naruto with a very different set of skills and abilities compared to the original series.
One common theme is the idea of redemption. Maybe in some fanfictions, Minato or Kushina have something they feel they need to make up for in the afterlife, and it involves helping Naruto in some way. Another is the theme of growth. Naruto grows up without his parents, but in fanfiction, they can be a part of his growth process in some supernatural way. And of course, the theme of heroism runs through a lot of these stories, as Minato was a hero, and Naruto becomes one too, and Kushina was a strong kunoichi.
Love is a very common theme. Their relationship, from falling in love to building a family, is often explored. For example, in many fanfictions, their first meeting and the gradual development of their feelings are depicted in great detail.
One common theme could be rewriting the Naruto story with different character development for Minato and Kushina. Maybe they are portrayed as more flawed or making different choices that lead to alternative storylines.
There would be a lot of anger. Naruto might be angry at his parents for leaving him, and this anger could fuel his determination in some ways. For example, he could strive to become a great ninja just to prove that he didn't need them. But it could also cause problems in his relationships, as he might lash out when reminded of his abandonment.
The theme of legacy is also quite common. Since Minato is the Fourth Hokage, fanfics might explore how he wants Naruto to carry on his legacy. And Kushina's strong will also gets passed on to Naruto in these stories. They also often show the simple joys of family life, like spending time together at home, which is a contrast to the dangerous ninja world outside.
One common theme is the idea of sacrifice. In many fanfictions, either Minato or Kushina is willing to sacrifice themselves for the other. It shows the depth of their love. Another theme is the power of their bond. Their relationship is often depicted as something that gives them strength, whether it's in battle or in dealing with the politics of the Hidden Leaf Village.
One common theme is sacrifice. Since they are ninjas, they often have to sacrifice their personal time together for the sake of the village. For example, Minato may have to go on dangerous missions, leaving Kushina worried but still supporting him.
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.
One common theme is Naruto's longing to know more about Minato. Since he grew up without his father, he has this natural curiosity and the fanfictions explore that.
