Since Kakashi has his own set of friends and allies, Naruto would be exposed to a different social circle. This could lead to different relationships and interactions that shape his character. For example, he might have a closer relationship with Gai or Asuma in this fanfiction. Their influence, combined with Kakashi's parenting, would make Naruto more well - rounded and perhaps more in - tune with the overall shinobi community.
Naruto's development would also be affected by the expectations that come with being Kakashi's son. He would constantly be compared to his father, which could either fuel his growth or cause him to rebel. This internal struggle between living up to the name and forging his own path would be a major part of his character development in this fanfiction.
In this fanfiction, Naruto's character development would change significantly. With Kakashi as his adoptive father, Naruto would be exposed to different values. He would learn about teamwork in a different way. Kakashi's own experiences with his team could influence how Naruto views his comrades. Also, Naruto might be more introverted in some ways as he would spend a lot of time with Kakashi, who is not as outgoing as some other characters. His ninja skills would progress faster in some areas like stealth and intelligence - gathering because of Kakashi's expertise.
Naruto's character would likely be more reserved in some ways. Kakashi is a rather stoic and composed person, and his influence might make Naruto less brash. Instead of always charging headfirst into situations, he would think more. For example, in battles, he might analyze the situation like Kakashi does before acting.
Naruto would likely be more confident from the start. Knowing he is the son of Hashirama, a great Hokage, would give him a sense of self - worth that he initially lacked in the original series. He might not be as much of an outcast, or at least he would have a different kind of status in the village.
Naruto might be more confident from the start. Since he's the son of two respected shinobi, he could have a different self - image compared to canon Naruto. He might not have the same insecurities about being an orphan or not being good enough.
If Naruto was the same age as Kakashi, his character development would take a different path. He would have likely faced different traumas and challenges growing up. For example, he might have been more directly involved in the Third Hokage's reign and the events that led to his death. This would have made him more politically aware and perhaps more cynical. Also, his relationships with his peers would be different. He might not have had the same close - knit group of friends as he does in the original story, as his age difference would put him in a different social circle.
Naruto would likely become more disciplined. Kakashi is known for his strictness, so Naruto would have to follow a more structured training regime. This would make him more focused during battles and in his studies of ninjutsu.
He would be more confident. Growing up with his parents' love and presence would mean he doesn't have to constantly seek validation. So he might be less brash and more self - assured from the start.
His character development could be more focused on his spiritual side. Instead of just physical and ninja skills training, he might spend more time meditating and trying to understand the will of Ashura. This could make him more introspective and wiser in his decision - making.
In this fanfiction, Naruto's character development would be a journey of proving himself against all odds. He would start off with a sense of inadequacy perhaps, seeing as many in the ninja world place great importance on bloodlines. But as he progresses, he would learn to rely on his own unique qualities. He would become more empathetic towards others who lack special powers, and his growth would be more about internal strength and mental fortitude. His relationships would also evolve differently, as he bonds with people over shared experiences of not having an easy power - up from a bloodline.
Naruto would likely be more self - assured. Jiraiya's influence would make him more aware of his potential earlier. He might not have the same insecurities about being alone as in the original, since he has Jiraiya as a father figure.
