His headband would still be visible, but the cloak would give him a more menacing or at least a more solemn look. The cloak could be made of a rough, durable material, like something a ninja on a long - term mission would wear. His blue eyes would seem even more piercing against the backdrop of the black cloak.
In fanfiction, Naruto wearing a black cloak could symbolize a new phase in his life. Maybe he's become more of an anti - hero or is on a secret mission. It could also be a sign of him joining a new group that has a darker aesthetic.

It depends on your perspective. Some might consider it realistic fiction as it could potentially draw inspiration from real-life elements or situations, but others might not see it that way.
