His development would be a tug - of - war between Danzo's influence and his own innate goodness. On one hand, Danzo could instill in him a sense of loyalty to the village at all costs. On the other hand, Naruto's natural desire to make friends and bring people together would constantly fight against that. So, his character might be a complex blend of secrecy and warmth.
In this fanfiction scenario, Naruto would grow up in an environment full of secrecy and manipulation. He might not have the same happy - go - lucky attitude as in the original series. Instead, he could be more brooding and less likely to trust easily. However, his underlying will to protect and be recognized might still be there, just expressed in a different way due to Danzo's upbringing. For example, he might see protecting the village in a more 'Danzo - like' way, which could involve using underhanded tactics at times.
His character would become more complex. He'd likely be more secretive at first, having to keep Danzo's teachings and missions under wraps. But his core values of protecting his friends and the village would still be there, just expressed in different ways as he navigates the morally grey area that comes with being Danzo's apprentice.
Naruto's character would likely become more reserved. Danzo's training might make him less trusting. He would probably be more calculating in his actions, weighing the benefits for the village more strictly. He might also be more inclined to use force or manipulation to achieve his goals, which is quite different from his original self.
Naruto might become more of an isolationist. Danzo was not one to form close bonds easily. So Naruto could be more reserved and keep to himself. However, his natural urge for connection might still be there, and he'd struggle between his upbringing and his true nature. He could start off as a loner but gradually learn to open up as he experiences different things in the village and realizes that not all relationships are like the ones Danzo had.
He would become more responsible. Naruto has always been a bit of a wild card, but with siblings to look after, he'd have to think twice before acting impulsively.
In such fanfictions, Naruto's character often develops a greater sense of responsibility. Raising someone or something forces him to think beyond himself and his own goals.
Naruto would likely be more refined in his behavior. With Tsunade as a mother figure, he'd be exposed to more formalities of the village leadership. He might be less of a prankster as he'd be under Tsunade's watchful eye. Tsunade's no - nonsense attitude would rub off on him.
Naruto would be more confident earlier. With Minato around, he wouldn't have to face the same level of loneliness and ostracism. So, he'd be more outgoing and less likely to act out for attention. He'd also have better control of his powers from the start, as Minato could train him properly. His fighting style would be more refined, combining Minato's speed and strategic thinking with his own natural abilities.
If Naruto is kidnapped by Danzo, it would create a huge turmoil in the Hidden Leaf. Some might suspect Danzo immediately, while others would be in denial. Meanwhile, Naruto would be facing Danzo's interrogation. But Naruto, with his strong will, would not give in easily. He might even try to persuade Danzo to change his ways. This could lead to a complex power struggle within the village as different factions take sides. The story could then unfold with Naruto's friends and allies working against Danzo's forces to rescue Naruto and restore peace in the village.
Well, if Danzo raises Naruto, Naruto's relationships would be drastically different. He might not have the same bond with Iruka or his friends from the Academy. Instead, he'd be surrounded by Danzo's followers. His attitude towards the Hidden Leaf might also change. He could be more obedient to the village's darker side, which Danzo represents. But at the same time, Naruto's own spirit of hope might conflict with Danzo's methods, leading to internal and external conflicts in the fanfiction.
Naruto's patience might increase significantly as he has to take care of the fox. He'll learn to be more responsible and less impulsive, which is a big step in his character growth.
