One possible plotline could be Naruto's search for his parents' identity. Even though they abandoned him, he might be curious about who they were and why they left. He could go on a journey, following small clues he discovers along the way. Another plotline could be his struggle to fit in the village. Without the idea of his parents being heroes of the village, he might face more discrimination than in the original story.
In such a fanfic, Naruto might initially be filled with sadness and confusion. He could become more withdrawn at first. But as the story progresses, he might find strength within himself and use the abandonment as a motivation to prove his worth, regardless of the yaoi elements in the story.
Perhaps Iruka - sensei. He has always cared about Naruto. Even in a yaoi fanfic, Iruka - sensei might step up and take Naruto in. He could offer Naruto the parental - like love and guidance that he desperately needs after being abandoned by his real parents. This would be a heartwarming aspect of the fanfic, showing the strong bond between them.
There are also fanfictions where Naruto had to fend for himself a lot, but the villagers, despite their initial hostility, would unknowingly help. For example, the local store owners might give him some food when he was really in need, even if they didn't fully embrace him. And as he grew older, his friends like Sasuke and Sakura also became important in his life and kind of took care of him in their own ways.
In such a fanfic, Naruto's character could develop in a much darker way. He might be more distrustful at first. Without the initial hope that his parents might be out there somewhere loving him, he could be more cynical. He might struggle with self - worth more, constantly feeling like he was unwanted from the start. This could lead to him being more of a lone wolf type, not as eager to seek the approval of others as he was in the original story.
One possible plotline could be Naruto growing up on his own, but then discovers some hidden secrets about his parents that change his perspective. Maybe he finds out they had no choice but to leave him. Another could be that Naruto, after feeling abandoned, decides to prove himself to the village in an even more extreme way, like taking on super dangerous missions at a young age.
It could be someone from the village who doesn't want Naruto to discover the truth about his parents. Maybe they fear that if Naruto finds out certain secrets, it will disrupt the power balance in the village.
In such a fanfiction, Naruto could become extremely powerful on his own. He might initially be filled with anger and a sense of abandonment. But as he grows, he could use his godlike powers not just for revenge but to protect the village that once shunned him. He may encounter his parents' spirits later and have a complex emotional encounter where he has to decide whether to forgive them or not.
One interesting fanfic could be where Harry is abandoned as a baby but is found by a group of magical creatures who raise him. They teach him unique magic that Hogwarts doesn't offer. Another might be a story where Harry is abandoned and ends up in a different magical realm altogether, having to find his way back to the wizarding world while uncovering secrets about his parents.
Naruto would likely start as a very bitter person. But as he grows, he might realize that his worth isn't defined by his parents' actions. His godlike powers would force him to mature faster. He'd become more self - reliant and less likely to seek approval from others. Eventually, he could develop into a more empathetic character, understanding that everyone has their own struggles, even his parents who abandoned him.
