In such a fanfiction, Naruto's lack of understanding of love would likely lead to a lot of misunderstandings. His relationships would lack the depth that comes with romantic or even deep platonic love. He may not be able to comfort his friends in love - related issues as effectively. For example, when Hinata has feelings for him, he might not be able to respond appropriately. His actions would be more based on his general sense of friendship and loyalty rather than love, which could cause some characters to feel disappointed or confused in their relationships with him.
Well, it could make his relationships quite complicated. For example, with Sakura, his lack of understanding of love might lead to him misinterpreting her signals. He might see her as just a good friend when she has deeper feelings for him. And with his friends like Sasuke, Naruto's confusion about love could make it hard for him to fully support Sasuke in matters that are related to love or emotional bonds, as he doesn't really get it himself.
It can have a big impact. Since Naruto doesn't understand love in this fanfiction, he might be more hesitant in forming close relationships. He could be overly friendly without realizing that others might take it as something more. This could lead to some awkward situations. For instance, he might accidentally give false hopes to someone who has a crush on him because he doesn't understand the concept of romantic love and how his actions can be misconstrued.
Well, in his relationships, it causes a lot of confusion. His friends may try to communicate their emotions to him, but he just doesn't get it. This can lead to misunderstandings and even arguments. In a romantic relationship, it would be even more difficult. He might not understand the concept of compromise or how to make his partner feel special. Since he doesn't understand emotions, he could end up making his partner feel unloved or unappreciated.
Well, it could strengthen his friendships. His friends might respect him more for being open about his intelligence. For example, Hermione would be glad to have someone as smart as her to discuss complex magic with. Ron might initially be a bit jealous but would soon realize how useful Harry's intelligence can be in their adventures.
His relationship with Sasuke would be greatly affected. Sasuke, who has always been somewhat defined by his rivalry with Naruto as a shinobi, might not know how to interact with Naruto anymore. They could grow apart as Sasuke still pursues the shinobi path while Naruto abandons it.
His relationship with his sensei, like Kakashi, could become more complex. Kakashi would feel guilty for not being able to protect Naruto from the experiments. And Naruto might start to question Kakashi's ability to keep him safe. This could lead to a strain in their relationship at first, but later they could grow closer as Kakashi helps Naruto recover from the trauma of the experiments.
It could improve his relationship with Sasuke. Since Chidori was Sasuke's signature move for a long time, Naruto learning it might show Sasuke that Naruto respects his skills and is willing to incorporate them into his own fighting style. This could lead to a more positive and equal relationship between them. Also, Kakashi might see Naruto in a new light. He trained Sasuke in Chidori, and seeing Naruto master it too could make him realize Naruto's determination and growth even more.
With his friends in Konoha, they would be worried and perhaps a bit afraid. They know Orochimaru's reputation as a villain. Naruto's friends like Shikamaru might start to keep a closer eye on him, which Naruto could resent. He would feel like they don't trust him anymore, and this could strain their friendships.
Well, it might make his relationships more complex. His friends could be both curious and a bit wary at first. For example, Sasuke might see him as even more of an oddity, which could either drive them further apart or make Sasuke more protective in a strange way. Sakura might be more motherly towards him, trying to take care of him because of his new features.
If Naruto has a physical disability like a broken arm that doesn't heal properly in fanfiction, his friends like Sasuke and Sakura would need to step in and help him more. Sasuke might be more protective, which could change their dynamic from a competitive one to a more collaborative one. Sakura could use her medical skills to try and find a way to heal him, which would bring them closer. His relationship with his teachers, like Kakashi, would also change as they'd have to adjust their training methods.
It could have a mixed impact. Some characters may be intimidated. Naruto's usual friendly and boisterous nature is replaced with Zabuza - like traits. Those who were close to him, like Iruka, would be worried. They would try to reach out to him to understand why he has changed. His relationships with the villagers could also take a hit. Since Zabuza was an outsider and a bit of a threat in their eyes, Naruto acting like him might make the villagers less trusting. However, some of the more battle - hungry ninjas in the village might see him as a stronger and more interesting ally now.
His relationship with Sasuke could change significantly. Sasuke might see Naruto's newfound ability as a threat or, on the other hand, it could be a motivation for him to get stronger. Naruto might use the Hiraishin no Jutsu to try and keep an eye on Sasuke, which could either annoy Sasuke or make him secretly respect Naruto's determination.
