It could lead to a darker side of his character emerging. Naruto has always been full of hope and love, but without the prospect of romantic love, he might become a bit jaded. He could start to view the world in a more cynical way. However, this could also be a turning point for him. He might eventually realize that love, in all its forms (not just romantic), is important and find a way to balance his duties with his need for emotional connection.
His character development could take a more self - reflective turn. Giving up on love might force Naruto to look deeper into himself. He might question his own values and what he really wants out of life. This could lead to him becoming more mature in his decision - making, not just in terms of the village's affairs but also in how he relates to others on a non - romantic level. He could become more empathetic towards those who also sacrifice personal happiness for a greater cause.
Well, it makes him more cynical. Normally, Naruto is a very positive and hopeful character. But in this fanfic, giving up on everyone would turn him into someone who doubts the goodness of people. He would become more withdrawn and less likely to reach out to others.
He becomes more solitary. Without the pursuit of love, Naruto focuses more on self - improvement and his ninja skills. He might seem more aloof as he distances himself from the idea of a relationship. For instance, he spends more time training alone in the forest.
When Naruto is ignored by his family in fanfic, his character development can take a different turn. He may develop a stronger sense of independence. He'll be forced to look for motivation within himself rather than from family approval. This could result in a more brooding and determined Naruto. His relationships with others may also be affected. He might be more cautious about getting close to people, fearing further rejection. However, it also gives room for him to grow in unexpected ways, such as finding new sources of strength and learning to rely on his inner will.
He would likely become more cynical. Naruto is usually so full of hope and belief in the good of people, but giving up on his family would make him question his own values. He might start to view relationships as more fragile and be less trusting in general.
In fanfic, Naruto being hurt by villagers often makes him more distrustful at first. He may become more guarded and less likely to open up easily. This experience can fuel his determination to prove himself, not just to the villagers who shunned him, but also to himself. It can be a major driving force in his growth, pushing him to train harder and strive for greater power to gain respect.
Well, when Madara gives Naruto his Sharingan in the fanfiction, Naruto's character development would take a very interesting turn. He has always been about his own unique brand of ninja way, which is based on hard work, friendship, and never giving up. With the Sharingan, he'd have to balance this new power with his existing values. He might face temptations to use the Sharingan for shortcuts or for revenge if he ever faced enemies related to the Uchiha's past. However, I think Naruto would ultimately use it in a way that aligns with his positive nature, perhaps to protect his friends and the village even better. But the internal struggle and the growth he'd experience while learning to control and use the Sharingan would be a significant part of his character development.
With his friends, it might create a sense of shock. His friends who have always supported his dream of being Hokage would be surprised. Some might be disappointed, like Sakura who has seen Naruto's growth towards that goal. But others, like Shikamaru, might understand his decision and still support him in whatever he chooses to do. With his family, if he has a family at this point, it could bring a sense of relief as they may not want him to be in such a dangerous and stressful position.
It can make him more self - reliant. Without the support of his family, Naruto has to learn to take care of himself, which can lead to him becoming stronger both physically and mentally. He'll have to figure out how to manage his finances, find a place to live, and cook for himself, all of which are new challenges that can shape him into a more independent person.
The fanfic community is quite large and diverse. While Ash giving up might be noticed, the community as a whole has a lot of resilience. There are always new stories being created by different people. But it could also serve as a reminder to the community to support its writers better, so that others don't feel the need to give up like Ash did.
His leaving can make him more independent. Away from Konoha, he has to fend for himself. He'll learn survival skills quickly and become more self - reliant, which is a big change from the Naruto who relied on ramen from the local store in Konoha.
