Kakashi could also end up being an ally. Despite his loyalty to the village, if he discovers the real reasons behind Naruto's departure and realizes that the village has made a mistake, he might choose to help Naruto secretly. He has a deep bond with Naruto and would not want to see him in harm's way.
Sasuke could potentially be an ally. Since they have a complex relationship, Sasuke might understand Naruto's situation and choose to side with him against the village. Also, characters like Jiraiya could still believe in Naruto and help him from the shadows.
Sasuke could potentially be an ally. Given their complex relationship, Sasuke might understand Naruto's situation and choose to side with him. They have a deep bond, and Sasuke has also been an outcast in a way. Another could be Jiraiya. If he were still alive, he might believe in Naruto's innocence and help him from the shadows.
Jiraiya might also side with Naruto. Jiraiya has always been a mentor and a father figure to Naruto. He would believe in Naruto's innocence and help him. He could use his connections and knowledge to keep Naruto safe and help him clear his name.
Danzo could be a great antagonist. He always had his own secretive and often unethical plans. He might see Naruto as a threat even if he's innocent and frame him as a missing - nin to get rid of him.
Sakura could be a great ally. She's already a skilled ninja with medical abilities. In a mage - influenced story, she could learn some magical healing spells to complement her existing skills. Her intelligence would also help Naruto in strategizing when they face magical threats.
Sasuke could potentially be an ally. Even though they've had their differences, Sasuke might understand Naruto's situation and decide to help him. Also, some of the Jinchuriki he's met before could be allies. They might see Naruto as one of their own and support him during his exile.
Even characters from other villages could potentially be allies. For example, Gaara. In the game world, he and Naruto could form a powerful duo, with Gaara's sand - based attacks complementing Naruto's Rasengan - like moves. They could fight together against common in - game threats.
Sasuke Uchiha could be a likely candidate. He had his period of being a rogue ninja. With his Sharingan powers, which allow him to copy jutsu and predict movements, and his own powerful ninjutsu like the Chidori and later the Rinnegan abilities, he would be a formidable opponent against the Kages.
One of the potential allies could be Jiraiya. Even though he has his own ties to Konoha, he might see Naruto's leadership in Oto as a way to bring about a new balance in the ninja world. Also, some of the more open - minded members of Oto itself could become Naruto's allies. They might be impressed by Naruto's leadership skills and his vision for the organization, which could be different from what Orochimaru had in mind.
He could make allies with versions of his own friends from different universes. For instance, a super intelligent Shikamaru from a high - tech universe. Also, Naruto might team up with powerful warriors from universes where the concept of chakra doesn't exist but they have their own forms of energy. Another potential ally could be a female version of himself who has different skills and a unique perspective.
