Naruto's character development could be significantly altered. If Orochimaru saves him, Naruto may start to question his own beliefs about redemption. He has always believed in giving second chances, but being saved by Orochimaru could test the limits of that belief. He might struggle with whether Orochimaru can truly be redeemed or if he is just using Naruto. This internal struggle could make Naruto more introspective and less impulsive. He may also become more cautious in his relationships, not wanting to be used again. And his view of power might change too. He could see that power can be used in different ways, not just for good like he always thought, which would add more depth to his character.
In such a fanfiction, Naruto's character development would be completely different. He would probably grow up with a sense of isolation. Since Orochimaru was an outcast, Naruto might face similar situations. This could make him more cynical about the world around him. However, Naruto's inherent goodness might also make him try to break away from Orochimaru's shadow. He might strive to prove that he is not like his brother, which could lead to a very different kind of hero's journey compared to the original Naruto story.
Well, it could enhance his jutsu arsenal significantly. Orochimaru has a vast knowledge of various jutsus. Naruto might gain access to Orochimaru's snake - based jutsus like the Hidden Shadow Snake Hands. Also, Orochimaru is very proficient in forbidden jutsus. Naruto could potentially have a better understanding of these dangerous techniques, but he would also have to deal with the darker aspects of Orochimaru's power and the possible corruption it might bring to his own chakra nature.
Well, if Naruto was Tsunade's son in the fanfiction, his character might become more confident earlier. Tsunade is a strong and respected figure in the Naruto world. Having her as a mother could mean Naruto has more direct access to powerful jutsu training and political influence. He might not be as much of an underdog as in the original story, which could make his journey to becoming Hokage a bit different. He could also inherit some of Tsunade's gambling habits, which would add an interesting twist to his character.
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.
Naruto could develop a new sense of determination. He might be determined to not let Orochimaru's experiments define him. Instead, he could use what has happened as a motivation to become stronger in his own way. He may also start to study more about the type of experiments Orochimaru was doing, not to replicate them, but to find ways to counter any future threats related to that kind of science.
Naruto would likely be more confident earlier. With his mother around, he'd have someone who unconditionally loves and supports him from the start. He wouldn't have to seek as much approval from others. His growth might also be more focused on learning Uzumaki techniques rather than just trying to prove himself. He could be more stable emotionally as Kushina could help him deal with his inner turmoil, like the Nine - Tails situation.
Naruto would likely become more secretive. Since Orochimaru is a very private and often devious character, Naruto might pick up some of those traits. He would probably keep things from his friends more often.
If Naruto is the son of Kyuubi in the fanfiction, his character development would be drastically different. He would have a different kind of self - discovery journey. His relationship with the villagers could be more hostile from the start. They might not just see him as the container of the Kyuubi but as the actual offspring of the beast they fear. This would force him to grow up faster, in a sense. He would have to prove himself not just as a ninja but as someone worthy of acceptance despite his 'parentage'. His training might also focus more on controlling his in - born Kyuubi - like traits rather than just taming the Kyuubi's power within him.
It would likely make Naruto more philosophical. As the reincarnation of a god, he might start to question the nature of power, destiny, and the world around him. This could lead to him having deeper conversations with his friends and mentors, and ultimately change his view of the ninja world and his place in it. For example, he might start to think about how to use his power not just for the sake of his village, but for the greater good of the entire world, which would be a huge shift in his character development.
The fanfiction alters Naruto's character development in that she now has to deal with the social norms and expectations for girls in the ninja world. This means she may become more self - aware of her appearance and how she presents herself. Also, her relationships with other characters, especially male ones, will be different. She'll have to navigate new types of interactions, which will shape her character in new ways.
