It could make some readers view him as more complex. Instead of just the one - dimensional hero, he now has this dark action in his story. Some might think he's still a hero but one who has to make the toughest of choices. Others might see him as a tragic figure, forced into a situation where he has to do something unthinkable.
The fanfiction changes the perception by challenging the idea of his invincibility. It forces the readers to consider what Naruto would be like if he wasn't always able to pull through with his signature moves. It might make some readers see him as a more complex character rather than just a one - dimensional hero.
If Naruto kills the villagers, he would lose his innocence. He has always been about protecting and being accepted by the village. Killing them would make him a much darker and more complex character. He might become more of an anti - hero, full of guilt and self - loathing.
It adds a layer of complexity. His character is no longer just about being the hero. This situation makes readers wonder about his mental state and what could have pushed him to this extreme. It also shows that he might be more self - sacrificing than we thought, willing to give up his life not just in battle but also in a more passive way.
It makes Naruto seem more mysterious. Since Orochimaru is a rather enigmatic and often villainous character, Naruto looking like him in the fanfiction gives him an air of mystery that he doesn't typically have in the original series. People reading the fanfiction might start to question Naruto's true nature.
Well, it completely flips it. In the original, Naruto is all about being a ninja and achieving his dreams as a ninja. But in this fanfiction, he hates them. So it makes us see a more cynical side of Naruto that we don't usually associate with him.
His character arc takes a dark turn. He would likely be filled with guilt and self - loathing. Instead of growing towards peace and unity as in the original story, he is now on a path of self - destruction or redemption, depending on how the fanfiction unfolds. For example, he might try to atone for his sins by isolating himself or seeking some form of punishment.
It completely distorts it. Naruto is known for his positive traits like determination and kindness. The playboy concept goes against his established character.
It could be that his siblings have made a pact with an extremely evil entity. Naruto, with his sense of justice and loyalty to the greater good, decides that their existence in that state is too dangerous and kills them, though it would be a very difficult and heart - wrenching decision for him.
In a Naruto kills Kabuto fanfiction, it would likely have a big impact on Naruto's character development. Naruto is usually about saving and redeeming his enemies. Killing Kabuto would be a departure from his normal values. This could lead to internal conflict within Naruto. He might struggle with guilt or question his own actions. On the other hand, it could also show his growth in a different way, that he's willing to do whatever it takes to protect his friends and the village. And from a plot perspective, it would create a rift between Naruto and those who believe in second chances, like Tsunade.
The Naruto universe would be completely desolate. There would be no more ninja villages, no more clans, and no more shinobi way. It would be a world filled with silence and death.
