In the beginning, the Sound Four would be skeptical of Naruto's leadership. They are used to Orochimaru's more ruthless leadership style. But Naruto, with his infectious optimism and his unique ability to see the good in people, would slowly break down their barriers. He would give them tasks that play to their strengths, showing that he trusts them. As time goes on, they would become more than just followers. They would become comrades. They would start to protect Naruto as he protects them, and together they would form a new kind of ninja team, one based on mutual respect, growth, and the pursuit of a better ninja world.
The relationship would likely start with a lot of mistrust from the Sound Four. But as Naruto shows his determination and fairness, they would gradually respect him. For example, Naruto might share his dreams with them, which could inspire the Sound Four to follow him more wholeheartedly.
At first, the relationship might become strained. Kiba and Issei might be a bit wary of Naruto because of whatever is making them twitchy. However, as the story progresses, they could start to communicate more. Naruto might realize that his actions are causing them discomfort and try to make amends. This could lead to a deeper understanding among them.
His character might become more complex. He would be exposed to the darker side of the ninja world more directly. He could develop a more cynical view while still holding onto his core values.
The relationship could develop in a way that Kushina helps Naruto deal with his inner demons. Since she has a better understanding of his situation, having been through similar things in her own life. They would have deep conversations about his loneliness growing up and how to overcome it. Kushina would use her own experiences to guide Naruto, and this would strengthen their bond.
Their relationship might start as a friendship based on mutual respect. Toph respects Naruto's strength and determination despite his banishment, and Naruto admires Toph's confidence and unique abilities. As they face challenges together, this friendship could deepen into a strong bond. They would rely on each other in battles and in difficult emotional times.
In these fanfics, the relationship can develop through shared experiences. Like when they face a common enemy together inside Naruto's mind. Kurama might start to see Naruto as more than just a vessel, but as a friend or even a son - like figure. He would then be more open with his emotions and offer more support in Naruto's real - life battles.
Their relationship could start with Kurenai being cautious around Naruto as he is now the Kyuubi. But as she sees his struggle to control the power and his good intentions, she warms up to him. She might become a mentor - like figure, guiding him on how to use his new abilities for the greater good. And Naruto would respect her for her knowledge and kindness, leading to a strong bond of trust between them.
At first, it would be extremely tense. Harry would be very suspicious of Voldemort's motives. Voldemort, on the other hand, would likely be impatient with Harry's lack of trust. But as time goes on, they might start to understand each other a bit more. Harry could see that Voldemort is not just pure evil, and Voldemort could come to respect Harry's power.
Their relationship could develop through mutual respect. Naruto, with his godlike status, would respect Yugito's strength and independence. Yugito, in turn, would admire Naruto's power and his kind heart. They would support each other in their ninja duties and grow closer as they face challenges together.
Their relationship could start off as comrades. Naruto, being focused on his seal work, might initially see Anko as just another helper. But as they spend more time together, he starts to notice her unique skills and determination. Anko, for her part, would be impressed by Naruto's seal - making abilities. Slowly, they could develop a friendship based on mutual respect.
At first, Naruto might be in awe of his parents, especially Minato who is a legend. But as time goes on, they would become more like a normal family. They would have arguments over small things like any family does. However, their love for each other would always prevail. Kushina would be the emotional anchor of the family, while Minato would be the strategic thinker. Naruto would grow up with a strong sense of family values, and they would all be there for each other through thick and thin, which is very different from Naruto's lonely upbringing in the original story.
