Naruto would also feel a sense of guilt. He might think that he could have done more to prevent Sasuke's death. This guilt could drive him to work even harder to protect the village and uphold the values that Sasuke also fought for. He would probably carry Sasuke's memory with him in everything he does, using it as a source of motivation. Naruto might also try to find a way to bring Sasuke back, whether through some kind of powerful jutsu or by seeking out some long - forgotten magic or power in the shinobi world.
Naruto would be devastated. Sasuke is his closest friend and rival. He would likely go into a state of deep mourning at first. He might isolate himself for a while, just trying to come to terms with the loss.
Naruto would be devastated. He's always been one to value his friends deeply. He might initially go into denial and then be filled with rage, vowing to find out who or what was responsible for her death and seek justice. He would also likely carry a great deal of guilt, thinking that he should have been able to prevent it.
Naruto would probably be angry at first. He's always been a free - spirited person, and being kidnapped by Sasuke, his friend - turned - rival, would surely make him mad. He'd likely try to fight back immediately, using his ninja skills and his never - give - up attitude.
The village would be in shock at first. Naruto was a beloved figure, so his death would be a great loss. But they would also have to accept Sasuke as Hokage. Some might be hesitant as Sasuke has a dark past. However, his actions in protecting the village in the past, like during the Fourth Shinobi War, would give him some credibility. The older generation who knew Sasuke from his early days might be more accepting, while the younger ones might be a bit scared of his cold exterior.
Naruto might also try to remember Sakura in a positive way. He would cherish the memories they had together. He could start initiatives in the village in her name, like promoting medical ninja training more, since Sakura was a great medical ninja. He would slowly turn his grief into a force for good in the village.
Sasuke could be intrigued. If he comes across a well - written fanfic that really captures the essence of his relationship with Naruto or offers a new perspective on his goals and journey, he might get drawn into it. He might start to think about how these different ideas could fit into his own understanding of his life and the world around him. For instance, if a fanfic shows him a different path he could have taken, it might make him reflect on his choices.
Naruto's reaction would be complex. He would be devastated because his bond with Sasuke is so deep. However, he also trusts Sasuke to an extent. So, he would be torn between his immediate emotional response of anger and his long - standing faith in Sasuke. He might start to look for clues and evidence, and in the process, he could end up uncovering Kabuto's devious plan while also reaffirming his friendship with Sasuke. He would probably be more determined than ever to set things right and prove Sasuke's innocence if he is indeed innocent.
Sasuke would be deeply affected. He and Naruto had a complex relationship. His first reaction might be shock and then a deep sense of loss. He might feel guilty for not being there to help Naruto. Sakura would be heartbroken. She had always cared for Naruto, and his death would be a huge blow. She might become more determined to protect the village in his memory. And Boruto, Naruto's son, would be devastated. He would probably grow up with a strong sense of purpose to live up to his father's sacrifice and protect the village even better.
He would be filled with rage. Naruto has a strong sense of justice and the fact that someone took Hinata away from him would fuel his anger. He would vow to find and punish whoever was responsible. He might even become reckless in his pursuit of vengeance, endangering himself and those around him. His friends would have to step in to try and bring him back to his senses.
Sasuke might be in shock at first. He can't believe that Naruto is dying in his arms. He may feel a great sense of guilt, thinking that he could have done more to prevent it.
For Hinata, it would be a crushing blow. She loved Naruto so much. She might withdraw into herself at first, overcome with grief. But then, she could find the strength within herself to carry on Naruto's legacy, especially for their son, Boruto (if in a post - Naruto - has - a - family scenario in the fanfiction). Shikamaru, being Naruto's friend, would feel a deep sense of loss. He would use his intelligence to try to figure out what led to Naruto's death and if there was any way to prevent it in hindsight. And the other members of the Leaf Village would be in a state of shock and mourning. Naruto was their hero, and his death would make them question their safety and future without him.
