In a time travel fanfiction, Naruto and Mito's relationship would be complex. Initially, Mito might view Naruto as a disruption to the past's natural order. However, as Naruto shows his skills and knowledge, Mito would become more interested in him. They could bond over their shared Uzumaki heritage. As they travel through different historical events, they would have to depend on each other for survival. Naruto could introduce Mito to new ideas, while Mito could show Naruto the true meaning of the Uzumaki legacy. Their relationship would evolve from strangers to comrades, and perhaps even to friends who have a great impact on each other's understanding of the world and their respective places in it.
At first, they might be a bit confused and cautious around each other. Mito would be curious about this strange boy from the future who claims to be an Uzumaki. Naruto, on the other hand, would be in awe of Mito as she was one of the early and important figures in the village. As they spend more time together during their time - travel adventures, they would start to trust each other. Naruto would share stories of the future with Mito, and Mito would teach Naruto about the old ways and traditions. Eventually, they could form a strong bond like a mentor - mentee relationship or even like a family, as they both have a connection to the Uzumaki clan.
Their relationship could start off rocky. Mito might be skeptical of Naruto's intentions and his out - of - place behavior. But as they face challenges together in the past, like fighting off enemies or helping the village in times of need, they would grow closer. Naruto's determination and kind heart would win Mito over. They would start to rely on each other more. Mito would see Naruto as a symbol of hope for the future of the Uzumaki clan and the village. And Naruto would see Mito as a source of wisdom and strength from the past. This would lead to a deep and meaningful relationship between them.
