Well, in some possible versions of this fanfiction, Naruto might die from a powerful enemy ambush in the gorge. Maybe a group of rogue ninjas with strong and unexpected jutsus caught him off - guard.
Kakashi is known for his laid - back yet highly skilled nature. His influence on Naruto could be in terms of teaching him to be more strategic in battles. Rin, being kind - hearted and having a strong sense of care, would give Naruto the emotional support he lacks. So Naruto might become more balanced in his approach to life and ninja - hood.
Sesshomaru came across Rin when he was in a vulnerable state. Rin's innocent and caring nature drew them together. It was a pivotal moment that shaped their future interactions.
It can change the dynamics of relationships. For instance, it might create a new friendship or rivalry among characters. If Rin is in love with Naruto, Sakura might feel threatened as she also has feelings for Naruto. So, it can stir up emotions among the female characters.
His view of the ninja world could be more idealistic. Rin had a certain purity about her. Naruto might strive for a world that is even more harmonious than in the original story. He could also be more focused on the well - being of his comrades, as Rin always put others first. For instance, he would be quicker to offer medical help or emotional support to his friends in difficult times.
In a Naruto and Rin fanfiction, for Naruto, his character could develop by learning from Rin's selfless nature. Since Rin was always known for her kindness and sacrifice, Naruto could grow in his understanding of true heroism. For Rin, if she were brought back or in a different scenario, she could develop by seeing Naruto's determination and learning to be more assertive. For example, she could see how Naruto never gives up on his friends and be inspired to be more proactive in her own relationships.
He expressed his love in many ways. For example, he was very concerned about Rin's well - being. Whenever she was in trouble, he would rush to her side without hesitation. He also blushed around her sometimes, which was a sign of his shyness and love for her.
Naruto might be more confident earlier. With Rin as his adoptive mother, he would have a stable family environment from the start. So instead of being the class clown to get attention, he could focus more on his studies and training, becoming a more well - rounded ninja faster.
Naruto's character would likely be more complex. He'd be less naive perhaps. Growing up with Obito and Rin, he'd have a different understanding of the ninja world. He might be more secretive too, as Obito has his own secrets.
His taijutsu might be more refined. Rin, having trained with Kakashi and Obito, could pass on some unique close - combat techniques. Naruto might also have a better understanding of chakra control from an earlier age. Since Rin was good at medical ninjutsu, Naruto could potentially combine that with his own chakra - based attacks in creative ways.
