Maybe a character who was experimented on by Orochimaru. The experiments accidentally give them the Rinnegan, but Orochimaru doesn't fully understand its power and neglects it. The character then breaks free and starts to explore and master their Rinnegan powers on their own in the fanfiction.
A character from a minor clan that has some distant relation to the Sage of Six Paths could be the main character. They inherit the Rinnegan but because their clan is so small and insignificant, their power is neglected. In the fanfiction, they could prove that their small clan can be a major force with the help of the Rinnegan.
It could be an unknown Uchiha who was overlooked in the main story. Maybe they were born with the Rinnegan but due to some political unrest in their village, they were forced to hide their power and were thus neglected. In the fanfiction, they could come out of hiding and shock everyone with their Rinnegan - based abilities.
In fanfiction, Naruto having the Rinnegan and being neglected by parents can lead to some really interesting character development. It could make him more self - reliant and distrustful at first. He might have to learn to harness the power of the Rinnegan on his own, without any parental guidance. This could result in him making some mistakes along the way but also growing stronger in unique ways.
The Rinnegan is often neglected in Naruto fanfiction perhaps because it represents a very high level of power that can be intimidating for writers to handle. If a writer wants to create a more relatable or character - driven story, they might shy away from using the Rinnegan. Additionally, the fanfiction community may have certain trends that favor other elements of the Naruto universe over the Rinnegan, so it doesn't get as much attention.
Well, perhaps the protagonist uses the powers of the Rinnegan in secret. He might train alone and develop unique abilities that others are unaware of, so that when the time is right, he can surprise everyone who has neglected him.
Naruto could develop a more cautious side. Since the Rinnegan is such a powerful and previously neglected thing, he would need to be careful. For example, he might start to study and analyze situations more before jumping into action like he used to.
One possible plot could be that the main character, who has the Rinnegan but has been neglected in the original Naruto story, decides to form their own ninja clan. They use their Rinnegan powers in unique ways to train their clan members and rise to power. This would be a new take on the Naruto universe and could explore the untapped potential of the Rinnegan.
Well, perhaps in the fanfiction, the neglected Rinnegan was actually a key to an ancient prophecy. Naruto, being the protagonist, starts to notice strange things related to the Rinnegan. He could then embark on a journey to understand its true significance. Along the way, he might meet old enemies who now have a newfound interest in the Rinnegan because of its newly discovered potential.
Sasuke could also be the main character. Given his connection to powerful eyes in the Naruto series, if the Rinnegan was abandoned, Sasuke's role would change significantly. He would have to re - evaluate his own power and place in the ninja world, which could make for a really interesting story with him as the main focus.
It could be an orphan who has a natural talent for music but has been brought up in a ninja - dominated environment where music is seen as a useless skill. So, they are constantly neglected.
It could be a new character created specifically for the fanfiction. Maybe a young ninja who discovers the neglected dragon and forms a bond with it.
It could be a young Saiyan who was sent to the Naruto universe as part of some sort of experiment by the Saiyan race. They are neglected because they seem so different from the ninjas. They would be the main character as they struggle to find their place and purpose in this new world.
