Well, perhaps the writer wants to break the mold of the traditional Naruto story. In the original, Minato is a great father figure, but in this fanfiction concept, the writer might be aiming to show how an alternate reality could shape Naruto. Maybe they want to explore themes of trauma and how Naruto could overcome it. Or it could be a way to experiment with different character dynamics, seeing how Naruto would interact with a Minato who is not the loving father we expect. It could also be a form of creative exploration of the characters' personalities, pushing the boundaries of what we think we know about them.
There could be. Fanfiction often explores various 'what - if' scenarios, even the disturbing ones like Naruto being abused by Minato. But these are not in line with the positive image of Minato in the main story. Writers may create such stories to explore extreme character development or just for shock value.
One possible reason could be for Naruto's protection. Maybe Minato knew of some great danger that was coming for Naruto and he thought that banishing him would keep him out of harm's way. Another reason might be related to some prophecy or hidden power within Naruto that Minato feared could be misused if Naruto stayed in the village.
One reason could be guilt. Since Minato wasn't there for Naruto when he was growing up in the original story, in the fanfiction, he might be overcompensating for that lost time. He feels like he has to make up for all those years he wasn't around to protect his son.
One reason could be to explore the darker side of family relationships. In the Naruto world, family is often portrayed in a positive light, and this could be a way to show what could go wrong. Another reason might be to create a unique and attention - grabbing plot.
One possible reason could be fear. If Naruto was 'godlike' in this fanfiction, his power might be uncontrollable and Minato, as Hokage, might feel it's a threat to the village. He could think that Naruto's power could attract too many dangerous enemies or cause destruction accidentally.
It could be that Naruto is trying to prove himself. He wants to show that he can be as great a fighter as his father. Also, he might have received some training or knowledge transfer from someone who knew Minato well. This could have inspired him to adopt Minato's fighting style. He may also be in a situation where his normal fighting style isn't working, so he turns to Minato's as a last resort.
It might be an exploration of the 'nature vs. nurture' concept. Writers could be interested in seeing how Naruto's character would develop if he had a negative influence like an abusive Minato instead of the loving father he was supposed to have. Also, some might do it just to be different from the mainstream fanfictions and explore a more edgy side of the Naruto universe.
Well, it could be related to Minato's absences. He was often away on important ninja business. Naruto might have felt abandoned by his father, and Kushina, seeing her son suffer in Minato's absence, could start to resent Minato. Also, there might have been some political decisions Minato made that didn't sit well with Kushina. For example, if he made an alliance that she thought was against the values of the village or their family.
Yes, there might be. The Naruto fandom is quite large and diverse, so there could be fanfictions exploring such dark and alternate scenarios. However, these often deviate from the original positive relationship portrayed in the official series.
Well, some writers may be trying to create a more 'gritty' or 'realistic' version of the Naruto universe in their eyes. They might think that adding an element of abuse to Sakura's story can add more depth and drama. However, they may not fully consider the negative impact it can have on the character and the fans who love her. Also, it could be a way for the writer to express their own darker emotions or experiences through the fanfiction, although this is not a very healthy or appropriate way in this context.
