The plot could involve Naruto and Hiruzen competing for the position of Hokage at the same age. Naruto, with his strong will and determination, would try to prove himself worthy. He might have different friends and allies in this version. For instance, he could team up with some of the older shinobi who were Hiruzen's contemporaries. Their rivalry could lead to new and exciting battles and political intrigue within the village.
In this fanfiction, Naruto being the same age as Hiruzen could mean that he witnesses the origin of many of Konoha's traditions and secrets. He might be involved in the early development of the ninja academy. Naruto could use his modern - day ideas (from our perspective) to influence the way the academy is run. This could lead to a more advanced and inclusive ninja training system much earlier in Konoha's history.
One possible plot could be that they meet at a young age during a shinobi training event. Since they are the same age, they might form a friendly rivalry. They could compete in various skills like ninjutsu or stealth. As they grow up, this rivalry might turn into a deep respect for each other's abilities.
One possible plot could be that since they are the same age, they become rivals in the ninja academy. Naruto, with his determination, and Mikoto, with her Uchiha pride, constantly compete in various skills like ninjutsu and taijutsu. Their rivalry could lead to an unexpected friendship as they gradually understand each other's struggles.
A plot twist could be that with Naruto at the same age as Minato, the Nine - Tailed Fox attack on the village might play out very differently. Naruto, already having his own strong will and the potential of a jinchuriki, could team up with Minato to fight off the fox in a different way. Maybe they find a way to seal the fox without sacrificing Minato, which would completely change the future of the Hidden Leaf Village. It could also mean that Naruto grows up with both his parents, leading to a much more stable and perhaps different - natured Naruto, less lonely and more confident from the start.
One possible plot twist could be that since they are the same age, Naruto might become Tsunade's rival in the medical ninjutsu field. Naruto, with his determination, could develop his own unique style of healing that challenges Tsunade's traditional methods. This could lead to a friendly competition between them, which in turn would force both to improve their skills and knowledge.
One possible plot could be that since they are the same age, they grow up as friends and training partners. They face the challenges in the ninja world together from a very young age. Naruto, with his positive attitude, and Kushina, with her strong will, might end up changing the fate of the Hidden Leaf in a different way compared to the original story.
The plot might involve Naruto and Yugao growing up together in the same village. They could be part of a group of young ninjas. Yugao might be more of a quiet and studious type compared to Naruto's boisterous nature. This difference could lead to some interesting interactions. For example, Naruto could learn some patience from Yugao, and Yugao could learn to be more bold from Naruto. As they face different challenges in the ninja world at their age, they support each other in unexpected ways.
In a 'naruto adopted by hiruzen fanfiction', the plot could involve Naruto having a closer bond with the older generation of shinobi. Hiruzen would surely introduce Naruto to his trusted comrades. Naruto could learn unique jutsu from them. Also, his growth as a ninja would be different. Instead of seeking attention through pranks, he might focus more on living up to Hiruzen's name. His relationship with Sasuke could also be affected. Maybe they would become rivals in a more positive way, with Naruto having a stronger sense of family and purpose because of Hiruzen's influence.
Perhaps Hiruzen is being influenced by some dark force or a hidden group within the village. They convince him that Naruto, with the Nine - Tails inside him, is too dangerous to be left unchecked. So, Hiruzen, in a moment of weakness, decides to betray Naruto. He could secretly arrange for Naruto to be sent on dangerous missions alone with the intention of getting him killed. Naruto, being oblivious to this at first, later realizes what's going on and has to fight not only against external enemies but also against the betrayal of his own village leader.
In this fanfiction, perhaps Hiruzen realizes Naruto's potential much earlier and decides to train him privately. He might take Naruto on secret missions to build his experience and confidence. This would not only strengthen Naruto's skills but also their bond, which could have a huge impact on the village's future.
The plot might involve Naruto learning about the history and politics of the village from Hiruzen. Since Hiruzen has a wealth of knowledge and experience, he could be guiding Naruto on how to be a great leader in the future, not just a powerful ninja.
