Well, in a fanfiction where Naruto and Gaara are raised together, they would likely develop a unique bond. Naruto, being the friendly and determined character he is, would try to break through Gaara's cold exterior. Gaara, who has always been alone, would gradually open up to Naruto. Their upbringing together could mean that they share their secrets, like Naruto's nine - tailed fox and Gaara's sand powers. This could lead to them finding new ways to control and use their powers. They might also create new jutsus together, and their combined power would be a force to be reckoned with in the shinobi world.
Their relationship would be much more brotherly. They would have a deeper level of trust from growing up side by side. They'd be able to read each other's emotions better. For example, Gaara would be more likely to show his true feelings around Naruto without hesitation.
Well, it could be really interesting. Naruto and Gaara are both complex characters. In such a fanfiction, they might grow up as brothers in a way. They could train together, share their insecurities. Naruto could help Gaara deal with his inner demons earlier, and Gaara could be a more stable support for Naruto when he faces difficulties in the village. Maybe they'd even create new jutsus together.
The Akatsuki could also be the main antagonists. They are after Jinchuriki, and Naruto and Gaara being together would be a big target for them. They'd likely try all sorts of sneaky tactics to capture them, which would put Naruto and Gaara's friendship and skills to the test.
It could also include other jinchuuriki from the Naruto universe. For instance, Killer Bee might be a part of it. He has his own unique relationship with his tailed beast and his inclusion could add more depth to the story. Maybe the story focuses on how these three jinchuuriki, Naruto, Gaara, and Killer Bee, interact and support each other while being raised together.
Perhaps a plot where they are raised together in a hidden village that has its own secrets regarding the jinchuuriki. They grow up with a sense of camaraderie and together face threats from outside forces who want to capture or use their power. This could lead to epic battles where they combine their abilities in unexpected ways.
Well, Naruto could be depicted as being similar to Gaara in their inner strength. Gaara was always strong on the outside but had a fragile heart. Naruto, in this fanfiction, may share that same duality. Maybe he shows Gaara that having a strong will doesn't mean suppressing emotions. He could be the one to show Gaara that it's okay to let others in, since Naruto is always about making friends and bringing out the best in people.
Well, if Naruto and Hinata were raised together in a fanfiction, it could have a huge impact on the story. They might have a more natural progression of their relationship. Instead of Hinata just having a secret crush, they could be best friends first. Their families might also be more intertwined. Maybe they would create their own unique jutsu together, as they have spent so much time together growing up. It could also lead to some really cute childhood memories that shape their future relationship.
At first, their relationship might be a bit guarded. Gaara, being used to isolation, might be hesitant to open up to Naruto. But as they face challenges together, like fighting a common enemy, they would start to respect each other's strength. Naruto's positive attitude would gradually break down Gaara's walls, and they would become friends.
For Naruto, he could develop a deeper understanding of the pain that Gaara has been through. This might make him more empathetic towards others who seem hostile at first. He might also learn new combat techniques from observing Gaara's use of sand in the heat of the Chunin Exams battles.
