One way the story could develop is that Naruto would have to rely more on his other senses like smell and hearing. His friends would also have to find new ways to communicate with him. For example, they might use sign language if Naruto could feel the movements. His ninja skills would also change. Instead of relying on visual cues for attacks, he'd depend on sound and vibrations.
The story could focus on how Naruto overcomes the discrimination he faces from some in the village. Being born paralyzed, some might view him as a liability. However, Naruto's indomitable spirit could lead him to prove them wrong. He could start by making small achievements, like mastering simple chakra control despite his physical limitations, which gradually earns him the respect of his peers and even some of his harshest critics.
One way is to focus on Naruto's other senses. For example, his sense of smell could become super enhanced, like a ninja version of Daredevil. He could use it to track enemies, find his friends in a crowd, or even detect hidden traps. His hearing could also be sharpened, allowing him to hear the faintest of footsteps or the rustling of leaves from afar, which would be useful in combat situations.
One way the story could develop is that Naruto would inherit some of Pein's powers, like the Rinnegan. Maybe he would struggle with the dark side of those powers, as Pein once did. Konan could teach him about the Akatsuki's history and how to use paper techniques. Naruto might then use this knowledge to try and bring peace in a different way, not just through the traditional ninja way he learned in Konoha.
In a fanfiction where Naruto becomes mute, it would have a profound effect on his growth as a character. His journey to become Hokage would be different. He would have to find alternative ways to lead and communicate with the village. This could involve developing a more refined sign language or telepathic abilities perhaps. Also, his relationship with his mentor figures like Iruka and Kakashi would change. They would need to adapt to his new condition and help him find new ways to express himself.
The fanfiction could explore the backstory of why the villagers torture Naruto. It could be that some evil influence, like a hidden group within the village or a curse, is making them act this way. Naruto, being the strong - willed person he is, might try to uncover this mystery. He would use his detective skills, similar to when he solved various missions. As he gets closer to the truth, the torture might intensify. But Naruto's resolve would not break. He could also find unexpected allies, perhaps some of the older ninja who remember a time before the village turned against Naruto, and they would help him fight against the forces that are causing this unjust treatment.
At first, Shikamaru might be a bit indifferent to the mute character, but as Naruto shows his kindness and determination to include the mute person, Shikamaru would start to get involved. They would gradually form a bond as they discover each other's strengths. Naruto's strength and Shikamaru's wisdom would complement each other, and they would both learn to communicate with the mute character in different ways, thus deepening their relationships.
The story could develop with Naruto being stolen by a group of dark wizards. They plan to use his unique energy for their evil schemes. However, Naruto is rescued by a group of good wizards who sense his pure heart. As he grows up among them, he becomes a symbol of hope in the wizard world. He then uses his ninja skills, which he unconsciously has, to fight against the dark wizards who once tried to use him. His journey could involve learning more about the connection between the wizard and ninja worlds.
In this fanfiction concept, their relationship could develop through mutual understanding. Naruto, at first, might be shocked but then gradually accept Kyuubi as a brother. Kyuubi, on the other hand, could learn about human emotions from Naruto and become more protective.
Well, in this fanfiction, their relationship could start from mutual respect on the battlefield. Naruto might notice Kakashi's unique skills and leadership. As for Kakashi, she could be intrigued by Naruto's determination. Over time, they could start to have secret meetings, sharing their dreams and fears, which gradually leads to a deep emotional connection and eventually marriage in secret to avoid any political or social upheaval in the ninja world.
To handle Naruto's character development, the author could focus on his relationships. Since he can't communicate verbally in the traditional sense, his interactions with others will be different. He might form deeper emotional bonds with those who take the time to understand him. This could lead to his growth as a person. For example, a friendship with Sasuke could develop in a new way where Sasuke has to be more patient and empathetic, and Naruto in turn learns to trust more deeply. Also, Naruto could develop his self - esteem as he overcomes challenges related to his disabilities and proves his worth as a ninja.
