Well, for one, Hinata would be completely devastated. She loved Naruto deeply. Her world would crumble. Shikamaru, who respected Naruto's determination, would be angry and confused. Why would Kushina do such a thing? The other Konoha 11 members would also be in a state of disbelief. They had all fought alongside Naruto. Iruka, Naruto's first teacher, would be inconsolable. He had always believed in Naruto and watched him grow. And Jiraiya, if he were still alive in this fanfiction, would be filled with regret for not teaching Naruto more to avoid such a fate.
The reaction of the other characters would be intense. Tsunade, as the Hokage, would be faced with a major crisis not just in terms of the loss of a powerful ninja but also the emotional turmoil it would cause in the village. The villagers who once shunned Naruto but then came to love and respect him would be filled with remorse. The ninja from other villages might also be shocked, as Naruto had become a well - known figure in the ninja world. His friends from other villages like Gaara would feel a great sense of loss. And the Akatsuki, who had Naruto as a target at times, would also be surprised at this unexpected turn of events.
The most obvious consequence would be the extreme grief among Naruto's friends like Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi. They would be devastated and likely seek revenge. The village would also be in chaos as Naruto was seen as a hero - in - the - making. It would completely change the future of the village.
Well, Minato being the calm and collected type, would probably approach reading Naruto fanfiction with an open mind. He might find some of the stories that depict his heroics in new and interesting ways quite fascinating. Kushina, on the other hand, would be more vocal. She'd either love the fanfiction that shows her as a loving mother and strong kunoichi or be a bit critical if it doesn't match her self - image. For example, if a fanfiction portrays her as too weak, she'd be likely to scoff at it. But overall, they'd both enjoy seeing the different ways the fans have imagined their lives.
Minato and Kushina's reactions could vary widely. Minato, being a strategic thinker, might initially be skeptical about how well the two very different universes of Naruto and RWBY can be combined in fanfiction. But as he reads on, he might appreciate the creativity involved. Kushina, with her fiery personality, could be excited or even a bit outraged if the fanfiction takes too many liberties with the Naruto characters she loves. She may also find it interesting to see new adventures for Naruto and his friends in this RWBY - inspired setting.
Sasuke might be affected as Naruto's closest friend. With Kushina back, Naruto could be more at peace, which might change the dynamic of their relationship. Sasuke could see a different side of Naruto, one that is more complete with his mother's presence.
The villagers of Konoha would be divided. Some would trust Kakashi and believe there was a good reason for Naruto's death, while others would be furious. The older generation, like Tsunade if she was still around, would demand an investigation. And for Hinata, she would be the most affected. She might feel like she lost her purpose in life with Naruto gone, but then find new strength in seeking justice for him.
Jiraiya would have a very interesting reaction. Since he's a bit of a pervert in the series, he would have to really adjust his behavior. He might also see this as an opportunity to study the differences in chakra and fighting styles between male and female ninjas while also trying to guide Naruto in this new form.
Sasuke's story arc would be completely derailed. Instead of his rivalry with Naruto driving him to become stronger, he might lose his sense of purpose and fall into a deeper darkness. Kakashi would likely be consumed by guilt, which could make him more withdrawn. Hinata might never overcome her shyness as Naruto was a source of her strength and motivation. And the village of Konoha would be in chaos, with many blaming themselves for not protecting Naruto better.
His relationship with Minato would be very different. Instead of a father - son bond, it would be more of a brother - in - law type of relationship. Minato might see Naruto as an equal in a different way, and they could collaborate more as peers. Also, Naruto's relationship with Sasuke would have a new angle. Sasuke might be more envious of Naruto's strong Uzumaki bloodline, which could intensify their rivalry.
Naruto's relationship with the other Jinchuriki would likely change. If Naruto hates Yondaime, he might see the system of creating Jinchuriki in a more negative light. He could try to convince the other Jinchuriki that they have been wronged by the villages and their leaders like Yondaime. This could lead to either a united front among the Jinchuriki against the villages or some internal conflict among them depending on their individual beliefs.
The other villages might react with a mix of shock and suspicion. They knew Naruto was a powerful force for good in the ninja world. His death could be seen as a sign that something was amiss in Konoha. Some villages might even fear that Konoha was becoming unstable and could pose a threat. Characters like Gaara, who had a special bond with Naruto, would be deeply saddened and might try to find out the real reason behind Naruto's death.
