In canon, Naruto is not completely neglected in the long run and Sasuke is male. In this fanfiction, Naruto being neglected for a long time would change his character development. And having Fem Sasuke instead of male Sasuke completely changes the dynamic of their relationship.
The biggest difference from canon is the neglected aspect of Naruto. In the original story, Naruto has people who come to care about him over time. But in this fanfic, his being neglected could lead to a darker Naruto at first. With Fem Sasuke in the picture, the relationship is not just about two male friends or rivals. It's a male - female relationship which can bring in elements of romance, different power dynamics, and a whole new set of character interactions that are not present in the canon Naruto - Sasuke relationship.
It could be because fans like to explore different relationship dynamics. The idea of Naruto, who is usually seen as a hero, having this flaw of neglecting someone like Fem Sasuke adds an interesting layer to their relationship.
There's a fanfiction called 'Silent Longing'. In this story, Fem Sasuke has feelings for Naruto but he is too busy chasing after power and recognition in the ninja world to pay attention to her. It shows how she copes with this neglect and her own growth in the process. Another one could be 'Abandoned Promises' which delves into how Fem Sasuke's expectations from Naruto are not met as he neglects her in their relationship.
One example could be a story where Naruto is so focused on becoming Hokage that he unintentionally neglects fem Sasuke. She might start to feel left out and lonely. In such a fanfiction, the author could explore her feelings of abandonment and how she tries to get Naruto's attention back.
Well, it could involve Naruto being overlooked or ignored by the village in this fanfic. And his relationship with Fem Sasuke could start as a form of mutual understanding. Maybe they find solace in each other because of their own issues. For example, Naruto's loneliness due to being neglected and Fem Sasuke's own complex past.
It mainly changes the relationship dynamic. In the canon, Sasuke and Naruto have a complex friendship/rivalry. But in fem Sasuke loves Naruto fanfiction, it adds a romantic element. For example, battles might have an undertone of protecting the loved one rather than just rivalry.
The neglect can create a lot of distance. For example, fem Sasuke might start to close herself off emotionally. She may feel that Naruto doesn't value her as much as she thought. This could lead to her being more cold and distant towards him.
Well, her upbringing would be different in several ways. For one, she would be raised in a high - society environment. This means she would be taught proper etiquette and manners from a young age. Also, her ninja training might be more refined and perhaps less harsh than in the canon. She may have access to better resources and more experienced instructors because of her family's status. Additionally, she might be sheltered more, which could lead to a different kind of character development compared to the Naruto we know who had to face many hardships on his own at a young age.
Her training would likely be more focused on intelligence and strategy, which are key aspects of the Nara clan. Instead of just brute strength training like canon Naruto, she would be taught to use her mind more, like how to outwit opponents with shadow - based traps.
Sasuke as a female could have different power manifestations. Maybe her chakra control is more refined in a feminine way. For Naruto, his character might develop a more chivalrous side. He would be more conscious of treating Sasuke with respect in a different way. In the original, their interactions are based on rivalry and a bit of grudging respect. In the fanfiction, with Sasuke as a female, there could be a more complex emotional undercurrent to their interactions, like Naruto being more hesitant to push Sasuke too hard in training for fear of hurting her feelings.
Also, it allows for a deeper exploration of gender roles in the Naruto universe. A fem Naruto might face discrimination or different opportunities compared to male Naruto. How Sasuke responds to this, whether he becomes more protective or if it makes him view her differently, is a fascinating aspect. It gives readers a chance to see the Naruto world through a different lens, one that challenges the traditional male - centered narrative.
