His friends would be shocked at first. Sasuke, for example, might see it as a sign of weakness on Naruto's part, that he let Minato do this to him. Sakura would be worried about Naruto's well - being and would try to find a way to reverse the process. Shikamaru would be thinking about the long - term consequences for the village and for Naruto's relationships. Overall, they would be very concerned and try to get Naruto back to his normal self.
Well, his friends would be deeply troubled. They've known Naruto as the energetic, kind - hearted guy. Now, seeing him turned into a weapon by Minato, they'd feel a sense of loss. Hinata would be especially heartbroken. She's always had a special connection with Naruto. She might try to reach out to him on an emotional level, but Naruto, in his weapon - transformed state, might not respond as he used to. Shino would be observing Naruto closely, trying to figure out if there's a way to bring back the old Naruto. And all of them would probably start to question Minato's decision and look for ways to restore Naruto's true nature.
Well, in this fanfic, perhaps Minato turns Naruto into a weapon because of a dark prophecy. Minato thinks that by making Naruto a weapon, he can prevent the prophecy from coming true. So he trains Naruto in a very different way, focusing more on raw power and combat efficiency. Naruto starts to show less of his usual goofy self and more of a cold - blooded fighter. His friends are worried about him, but Naruto believes he's doing the right thing for the village. Eventually, Naruto might have to face a choice between being a weapon or reclaiming his old self.
Sakura might be initially shocked. But being a good friend, she would quickly try to understand what happened to Naruto. She could offer to help him find a way to change back or support him in dealing with the new form. Sasuke, on the other hand, might be more aloof at first. He would see Naruto's transformation as a sign of weakness, but as time passes and Naruto proves his strength in the new form, Sasuke might start to respect him again.
At first, Naruto would likely be very confused and hurt. He has always craved family love and acceptance, so this sudden turn would be a huge blow. He might try to plead with his family, asking them to believe him and give him a chance to explain.
His friends' reactions could vary greatly. For example, Choji might be a bit scared at first, seeing Naruto as a wolf. But once he realizes it's still Naruto, he would offer him food. Ino could use her mind - transfer jutsu to communicate with Naruto in his wolf form. And Hinata would be very concerned and would stay close to Naruto, trying to protect him from any harm that might come his way because of his new form.
Sakura might be really surprised at first. She could be a bit skeptical about whether it's really Naruto or some kind of trick. But then she would probably try to help him find a way to change back.
I think his friends' reactions would vary. Naruto's closest friends like Shikamaru and Kiba would quickly realize that they need to support Naruto. They would see that despite the strange new form, it's still Naruto. Sakura would be more emotional, she might cry at first but then pull herself together to help. And Sasuke, he would probably see it as an opportunity for Naruto to gain more power, but also be cautious in case the Titan form has any negative effects on Naruto's mind.
Minato would likely be extremely shocked. Naruto is his son, and the idea of Naruto attacking him would be completely unexpected. He would probably try to talk to Naruto first, to find out what is wrong and why he is being attacked.
Sakura might be really surprised at first. She could offer to help Naruto with his girl disguise, teaching him things like how to do his hair or choose the right clothes. She might also find it a bit funny but would be supportive in the end, seeing it as part of a mission. Sasuke, on the other hand, might be a bit more aloof. He would probably just raise an eyebrow at Naruto's new look but wouldn't make a big fuss about it as long as it was for a good reason.
Minato would be in awe of the new ninja world. He'd notice the changes in the village's infrastructure and the way ninjas are trained. He might be a bit taken aback by the more complex political situations. However, being the quick - thinking ninja he is, he would start to analyze everything. He'd work with Naruto to understand the new power dynamics and use his old - school wisdom along with Naruto's modern knowledge to make the village even stronger.
His friends' reactions would be mixed. Shikamaru would be like 'This is such a drag.' But he'd also start thinking of strategies to deal with the situation. Ino would be all about helping Naruto with his new look, like suggesting new outfits that would suit a fox girl. Choji would be more focused on making sure Naruto is still the same person inside. He'd offer Naruto his snacks to cheer him up. And Hinata would be blushing a lot, but also be very supportive, saying things like 'Naruto - kun, you look... different, but you're still you.'
