In a fanfiction where Naruto's parents are alive, they could play a major role in changing the politics of the Hidden Leaf. Minato, being a former Hokage, and Kushina with her strong Uzumaki blood, might work together to strengthen the village's defenses and relations with other villages. This would also mean Naruto doesn't have to struggle alone and could learn advanced techniques much earlier from his parents.
The story would be very different. Naruto's parents being alive would mean he has a support system from the start. His father could pass on his jutsu and wisdom more directly. Naruto might not have the same drive to become Hokage in the same way, as he wouldn't be seeking that family - like recognition from the village. His mother's presence would also add an element of warmth and stability to his life. And perhaps he would be more of a prodigy with both his parents' guidance, changing the power dynamics in the ninja world.
His relationship with his parents would be loving. Minato would be a strict but fair father, teaching Naruto about ninjutsu and the responsibilities of being a shinobi. Kushina would be the warm, affectionate mother, always there to comfort and encourage Naruto. They would support his dreams and be proud of his every achievement.
If his parents were alive, the whole dynamic with Voldemort would be different. Instead of being an orphaned hero, Harry would be part of a family unit fighting against Voldemort. His parents could train him in advanced magic, and they might have connections and resources that could be used to combat Voldemort more effectively. Also, Harry might not have had the same emotional journey of self - discovery as he did in the original story, because he would have a more stable family environment.
One possible storyline could be that Minato and Kushina help Naruto train. They could pass on their unique jutsu and combat skills directly to him. This would make Naruto even more powerful at a much faster rate compared to in the original story.
In this fanfiction, Naruto finds himself in a parallel universe where his parents are not only alive but also play a significant role in his life. There are new adventures and challenges as he navigates this changed reality.
The plot could start with Naruto being born blind. His parents, Minato and Kushina, are determined to raise him as a strong ninja. They might focus on training his other senses from a young age. As Naruto grows, he faces challenges in the ninja academy due to his blindness but overcomes them with the help of his parents and his own determination. He could develop unique fighting styles that rely on his hearing, smell, and touch. For example, he might be able to sense an opponent's chakra flow better than others, which gives him an edge in battles.
One great fanfic could be 'The New Beginning for Dark Naruto'. In this, Naruto's parents being alive changes his whole outlook. Instead of the lonely and somewhat bitter Naruto we know, he grows up with the love and support of his parents. His father, Minato, trains him personally, and Kushina is always there to give him emotional support. This alters the course of his journey in a positive way, making him less likely to turn to the 'dark' side as he has a strong family unit.
One possible plotline could be Kushina teaching Naruto about the Uzumaki clan's secrets. Since she was an Uzumaki, she could pass on unique jutsu and knowledge that no one else in the village might know. For example, she could teach him advanced sealing techniques. Another plotline could be Kushina's influence on Naruto's relationship with the other villagers. Her presence might have changed how some of the villagers who were once cold to Naruto would now interact with him. Also, Kushina could be involved in the political affairs of the village, using her wisdom and strength to help Konoha face external threats more effectively.
