In a fanfiction of Hiruzen's daughter and Minato, perhaps Hiruzen's daughter is initially in awe of Minato's skills. Minato, on the other hand, is kind and respectful towards her. Their relationship could develop when they are paired up for a special mission. During the mission, they learn to trust each other completely and start to have feelings for one another. This could lead to a beautiful love story set in the world of ninjas.
Well, a plot twist could be that since Naruto is Hiruzen's son, the Akatsuki targets him differently. Instead of going after the Nine - Tails inside him in the usual way, they might try to use his relationship with Hiruzen against him. They could try to blackmail Hiruzen into making certain concessions for the safety of his son. Also, Naruto's training might be more intense and different. He might be taught more about the political side of being a ninja by Hiruzen himself, which changes his perspective on the ninja world.
These interactions might also be important in terms of character development. For Tsunade, her relationship with Hiruzen could help her overcome her past traumas and hesitations about taking on the role of Hokage. And for Hiruzen, it could be a way to leave a lasting impact on the village through Tsunade.
If Naruto were Hiruzen's son in a fanfiction, his character development would take a whole new turn. He'd grow up with a different set of values instilled in him. He might be more diplomatic from the start, having been exposed to Hiruzen's leadership style. His motivation to become Hokage might be less about seeking recognition and more about following in his father's footsteps. Also, his relationship with the village elders would be different. Instead of being an outcast, he'd be seen as the heir, which would bring its own set of challenges and opportunities for growth.
Maybe Naruto is put in a situation where he feels that Hiruzen's way of handling things is the best option. For instance, if there is a major crisis in the village that requires a more traditional and experienced approach, Naruto might choose to act like Hiruzen. Also, he could be influenced by the stories he has heard about Hiruzen and wants to fill his shoes in a way.
One possible scenario in a 'Naruto Saves Hiruzen' fanfic could be that Naruto uses his newfound powers. Maybe he has mastered a new jutsu that allows him to turn back time briefly. He then uses this power to go back to the moment when Hiruzen is in danger. Naruto's quick thinking and his never - give - up attitude would be highlighted in such a fanfic.
Perhaps Naruto discovers a prophecy that Hiruzen will be in danger. So, he starts to train extra hard to be able to face whatever threat is coming. When the time comes, he uses his speed, which he has enhanced through rigorous training, to reach Hiruzen before the enemy can land a final blow.
One aspect that could be delved into is their different leadership styles. Hiruzen was more of a traditional leader, while Tsunade brought a new perspective. Fanfiction might show how they interacted regarding village policies and decision - making. For example, they could have had debates on how to handle the ninja academy or allocate resources.
Perhaps in this fanfiction, Naruto has some sort of special power or transformation that he unlocks just in time to face Orochimaru. It could be related to his Nine - Tails chakra in a new and unique way. He uses this power to break through Orochimaru's defenses and save Hiruzen. Naruto might also use his knowledge of Orochimaru's weaknesses that he has learned either from Jiraiya or from his own past encounters with Orochimaru's minions.
One possible plot could be a story of friendship that turns into love. Hiruzen's daughter might initially meet Minato through some village events. They start as acquaintances, sharing common goals for the village. As they spend more time together, they realize their mutual admiration and respect slowly blossoms into a deeper affection.
