Perhaps in a fanfic, a time - traveling villain kidnaps Naruto's parents alive. Naruto, with the help of his friends like Sakura and Kakashi, uses a special jutsu to travel back in time as well. They then have to fight the villain in the past while also ensuring that Naruto's parents are safe and can be brought back to the present.
One interesting fanfiction could be 'The Godlike Naruto and His Family Reunion'. In this fic, Naruto discovers his latent godlike powers early on. With his parents alive, Minato and Kushina play crucial roles in training him. They help him master his newfound abilities while also guiding him through the complex politics of the ninja world. It's a great read for those who love seeing Naruto's family dynamic.
Naruto would likely become more determined. His usual goal of becoming Hokage might be put on hold as he focuses on rescuing his parents. He would train harder, pushing his limits to gain the strength needed to face the kidnappers. This would accelerate his growth as a ninja.
One possible scenario in such a fanfiction could be that Naruto's parents are preoccupied with their shinobi duties. They might be constantly on missions for the Hidden Leaf Village, leaving Naruto at home with caretakers who don't really pay him much attention. This could lead to Naruto feeling lonely and isolated, just as he did in the original story when he thought he had no family.
In a Naruto alive with Kushina fanfiction, it could start with Kushina surviving the Nine - Tails attack. She then helps Naruto harness the power of the Nine - Tails in a more positive and controlled way. They might have a mother - son bond that is stronger than ever, and together they face new threats to the Hidden Leaf Village.
One possibility in a fanfiction where Jiraiya is alive could be that he returns during the Fourth Great Ninja War. He could use his vast knowledge and powerful jutsu to turn the tide of the war. Maybe he teams up with Naruto again and helps him master new forms of the Rasengan or other powerful techniques.
One great fanfic could be 'The New Beginning for Dark Naruto'. In this, Naruto's parents being alive changes his whole outlook. Instead of the lonely and somewhat bitter Naruto we know, he grows up with the love and support of his parents. His father, Minato, trains him personally, and Kushina is always there to give him emotional support. This alters the course of his journey in a positive way, making him less likely to turn to the 'dark' side as he has a strong family unit.
I really liked 'Back to the Beginning with Naruto'. Here, when Naruto travels back in time, his parents are alive. The story focuses on how Naruto tries to prevent the tragedies that happened in the original timeline. It's interesting to see how his knowledge from the future impacts the past. For example, he is able to warn his father about certain threats, and it changes the course of events. And the relationship between Naruto and his parents is beautifully portrayed, full of love and understanding.
The story would be very different. Naruto's parents being alive would mean he has a support system from the start. His father could pass on his jutsu and wisdom more directly. Naruto might not have the same drive to become Hokage in the same way, as he wouldn't be seeking that family - like recognition from the village. His mother's presence would also add an element of warmth and stability to his life. And perhaps he would be more of a prodigy with both his parents' guidance, changing the power dynamics in the ninja world.
One possible plotline could be that Naruto is banished due to false accusations of endangering the village, despite his parents being alive. His parents, Minato and Kushina, might be powerless to stop the decision because of some political intrigue within the village. Naruto then has to find his own way in the outside world, facing new enemies and making unexpected allies.
A fanfiction might depict fem Naruto's life with her parents alive as a story full of family moments. They could celebrate birthdays and festivals together. Minato and Kushina would be able to guide fem Naruto in her social life too. She wouldn't be the lonely outcast she was in the original story. Instead, she would be a popular kunoichi with her parents' reputation. Her parents could also help her develop her own fighting style that combines their techniques, making her a very strong and unique ninja in the Hidden Leaf Village.
