He would probably be a more laid - back character. Without the pressure of ninja training and missions, he could be someone who enjoys simple pleasures in life, like spending time with friends in the village square, chatting and having a good laugh. He might be more into arts or music, things that he didn't have much time for as a ninja in the original story.
Naruto in this fanfiction could be a bit of an outcast in a different way. Since he's not part of the ninja community, he might struggle to find his place at first. But then he could develop into a character who is very empathetic towards those who are also on the fringes of the village society. He could use his unique perspective, not as a ninja but as an ordinary person, to bring about change in how the village treats those who are different.
The story in this fanfiction would be quite different. Since Naruto doesn't become a ninja, the power dynamics in the village change. There would be no Naruto to challenge the status quo in the ninja world. Instead, the story could revolve around how the other ninja adapt to a world without Naruto's influence. Maybe some of the conflicts that were resolved by Naruto in the original story now fester and cause bigger problems. And Naruto, as a non - ninja, might have to find a way to deal with these issues from the outside, using his wits and new - found non - ninja skills.
Naruto would face the challenge of loyalty. He has deep - rooted loyalty to Konoha, and now he has to transfer that loyalty to the Mist Village. This mental shift would be tough. He'd also face challenges in terms of training. The Mist Ninja training is different in terms of intensity and focus. He'd have to learn how to be more stealthy and less obvious in his actions, which is quite the opposite of his usual style. And he'd have to deal with the possibility of being used by the Mist Village for their own purposes against his will.
A crossover between Naruto and Natsu would be really cool. They both have a lot of energy and are very determined fighters. Natsu with his fire - based magic could team up with Naruto and his Rasengan which is like a concentrated ball of energy.
One idea could be that Naruto is sent on a mission to the Hidden Mist Village and gets separated from his team. He then has to adapt to the Mist Ninja ways to survive. He might learn their unique jutsu, like some water - based techniques, and form unexpected alliances with Mist Ninja who admire his determination.
One major change would be in the way the village is perceived. Naruto is well - known across the ninja world, so other villages might see his village as even more powerful and stable. This could lead to a shift in the balance of power. His village would likely attract more talented ninjas who want to learn from him.
In this fanfiction, Naruto might gain new and unique ninja skills. Maybe he discovers a long - lost jutsu that makes him even more powerful than in the original story.
I think Naruto would excel in rock music. He has a lot of energy and a rebellious spirit, which are typical of rock stars. His loud and enthusiastic personality would fit well with the high - energy and often intense nature of rock music. He could scream out lyrics like he does his battle cries, and his wild stage presence would be perfect for head - banging concerts.
Naruto would probably choose a Pikachu first. Pikachu is energetic and has a lot of spunk, just like Naruto. They would both be full of enthusiasm and would make a great team right from the start.
If Naruto becomes a Mist Ninja in fanfiction, it would have a huge impact on the ninja world's politics. Konoha might see him as a traitor, or they could try to negotiate with the Hidden Mist for his return. The Hidden Mist, on the other hand, would gain a powerful ally in Naruto. This could change the balance of power between the villages. Naruto himself would be in a unique position to bridge the gap between the two villages, using his newfound knowledge of the Mist Ninja and his roots in Konoha to promote peace and understanding.
He has trouble moving around. Without sight, he can't easily navigate the village or the forest. He might constantly bump into things. Also, in combat, he can't see his opponents' attacks coming. It's a huge disadvantage compared to when he could see.
