I'm not sure specifically as I haven't read that particular fanfic. But it might be about Naruto getting angry at the rookie ninjas for some reason, perhaps they made a mistake during a mission or did something that goes against his values.
Obviously Naruto is one of the main characters since the title mentions him. And the rookies are also main characters, though we don't know exactly which rookies without reading it. It could be the ones from his own generation like Sakura, Sasuke, etc., or it could be new rookies that Naruto is mentoring.
One reason could be that Naruto has been through so much himself and he might think rookies are naive. He's seen the harshness of the ninja world and doesn't want to coddle them. For example, he had to grow up without his parents and faced many life - threatening situations early on.
It creates conflict. The rookies might be initially discouraged or resentful of Naruto's coldness. This can lead to them trying harder to prove themselves, which drives the plot forward as they strive to gain Naruto's respect.
Well, a 'Naruto snaps' fanfic could be about Naruto reaching his breaking point. Maybe he's had enough of the village's mistreatment, or the constant threats to his friends. It could explore a darker side of Naruto where he decides to take matters into his own hands in a more extreme way than he usually does in the original series.
Yes, there might be some. However, their popularity can vary. Some might gain popularity within specific fan communities. For example, on certain fanfic websites, you might find ones that have a good following. But it's not always easy to determine which ones are the most popular overall, as it depends on different factors like the writing quality, how well it stays true to the Naruto universe while still presenting this new'snapping' concept, and the creativity in the plot.
In this kind of fanfic, Naruto might finally lose his temper completely. Maybe he could turn against his friends or the village. He could start using his power in a more unrestrained way.
In a 'naruto finally snaps fanfic', Naruto is the main focus, but characters like Kakashi would be involved. Kakashi has been Naruto's teacher and mentor, so he would be affected by Naruto's change. Also, characters from other villages such as Gaara could be part of the story. Gaara has his own connection with Naruto, and Naruto's snapping would have an impact on their relationship and the balance between villages.
Perhaps he reveals his dreams for the future of the Hidden Leaf Village that are more personal and not part of his official Hokage - related goals. For example, he might talk about his hopes for how the different ninja clans interact and co - exist in a more harmonious way, something that he has been thinking about but hasn't shared with the group yet.
They would probably be shocked. Since Naruto is such an important figure to them, any big secret would likely cause a stir. For example, if it's about his Nine - Tails secret, they might be initially stunned as they realize how much he has been carrying alone.
