Well, it could completely shift the plot. Instead of Naruto being the village's hero, he might become an outcast or even an antagonist. His relationships with characters like Sasuke, who has his own complex feelings about Konoha, would be radically different. For example, they might team up against Konoha rather than Naruto trying to bring Sasuke back to the village.
Well, if Naruto doesn't care about Team 7 in fanfiction, it could lead to a complete shift in the plot. For example, the team dynamics would be severely disrupted. Sasuke might feel even more isolated and could turn even darker much quicker. Sakura would be left confused and perhaps try to reach out to Naruto more desperately, which could create new conflicts. Also, missions would be affected as Naruto's lack of care might mean he doesn't put in his usual effort, endangering the team more often.
Well, it could make the story much darker. Naruto's family, especially his parents, are important in his growth. If he doesn't care about them, his values would be completely different. He might become more self - centered and less likely to fight for the village. For example, his motivation to protect Konoha was partly because of his father's legacy. Without that family - driven motivation, he could turn into a character who is only after personal power.
Well, it completely alters the traditional narrative. Naruto's connection to Konoha was a huge part of the original story. Without his desire to return, it changes the relationships he has with his friends there like Sasuke, Sakura, etc.
It can change the focus of the story. Instead of having a love triangle or Naruto's pursuit of Sakura as a sub - plot, the plot can center more on Naruto's personal growth, his ninja training, or his relationships with other characters like Sasuke or Kakashi.
Well, it would also affect the relationships of other characters. For example, his friends in Konoha would either try to regain his trust or they might side with Konoha against him. This would add a whole new layer of complexity to the plot as characters are forced to take sides and deal with the consequences.
The relationships in the story could be different. Since Naruto is not aiming for the Hokage position, his interactions with characters like Sasuke, who was also involved in the power dynamics of the village in some ways, would change. Maybe they would focus more on other aspects of their friendship or rivalry rather than Naruto's pursuit of Hokage.
Well, it changes the emotional core. In the original Naruto story, family is an important underlying theme. Removing Naruto's feelings for his family shifts the focus. For instance, his motivation for becoming strong might no longer be related to impressing his father or living up to his family's name.
The fanfiction changes the relationship dynamics within the Naruto world. Usually, Konoha is at the center of Naruto's universe. But now, with Naruto not caring about it, other elements like his personal relationships outside Konoha or his own self - discovery become more prominent. It shifts the focus from the village - centered story to a more individual - centered one.
Well, in the original story, Jiraiya played a big role in Naruto's emotional growth too. If he doesn't train Naruto in the fanfiction, Naruto might lack the father - figure like guidance that Jiraiya provided. This could lead to Naruto making different decisions in life, both in terms of his relationships and his ninja career. For example, he might not have the same understanding of the ninja world's politics and power struggles, which could put him at a disadvantage. Also, his connection to the Sage Mode might be completely different or non - existent, which would change how he fares in battles against powerful enemies.
One way could be that Naruto has been repeatedly let down by Konoha. Maybe he was mistreated in the past, like being ostracized despite his efforts to protect the village. So in the fanfiction, he decides he's had enough and stops caring.
