In this fanfiction, Naruto's time - control ability would be a game - changer for the plot. He could potentially travel to different points in time to gather knowledge and power. Maybe he'd go back to the time of the Sage of Six Paths to learn some ancient and powerful jutsu directly. This new - found knowledge and power would not only make him stronger but also shift the power balance in the Naruto universe. It could lead to new alliances and enmities as other characters react to his new abilities, and thus completely rewrite the plot in many unexpected ways.
It might strengthen his relationship with Sasuke. For example, Naruto could use his time - control to understand Sasuke's pain better. He could go back to the time when Sasuke's clan was massacred and truly feel what Sasuke went through, which would make Sasuke more likely to open up to him and trust him more.
Well, it could change the battles a great deal. For example, he could use light to blind his opponents or create illusions with it. This new ability might also make him a target for those who want to harness his power for their own purposes.
His gravity - controlling ability might also affect the relationships in the story. Allies could rely on him more, which might cause some jealousy among those who don't have such cool powers. In terms of the plot, it could introduce new story arcs where Naruto has to train others to use similar powers or has to deal with the consequences of overusing his gravity control, like accidentally causing destruction in the village.
Well, it can change the flow of battles a great deal. For example, in some fanfictions, Naruto can use his animal - controlling ability to summon a horde of powerful animals to fight against enemies. This gives him an edge in combat and can turn the tide of a losing battle.
One unique application could be that he uses it to relive his training days and improve his skills even more. He can go back to his time with Jiraiya and learn from his mistakes during training. Another is that he can slow down time during a battle to dodge attacks that are otherwise too fast for him.
Well, it could change the battles significantly. For example, he could use his metal - controlling ability to deflect enemy attacks made of metal weapons. This would give him an edge in combat and might lead to quicker victories, thus altering the course of the story.
His blood control ability might also create new alliances or enemies. Allies could see his power as a great asset and join him, while enemies might fear his newfound ability and target him more aggressively. In the context of the fanfic, this would add more twists and turns to the plot. Maybe some characters who were neutral before would now side with Naruto because of his blood control, or some of his old enemies would form stronger alliances against him.
Percy's time - controlling ability might add a lot of twists to the plot. If he can control time, he could potentially stop time to outwit his enemies. This would make battles much easier for him and his friends. Also, he could use it to relive certain moments to gain more information. For instance, if there was a mystery about an event in the past, he could go back and observe it closely, which would then drive the plot forward as he uses the new knowledge to solve current problems.
In some fanfictions, it could be due to a new jutsu he discovers. Maybe during a secret training session in an ancient scroll, he finds a forbidden technique that allows him to control people.
Well, in some fanfictions, Naruto might gain the ability to control nature through intense training with a hermit or some ancient spirit. For example, he could be led to a hidden grove where the essence of nature is concentrated, and by communing with it over time, he gradually unlocks the power to control nature.
