rimuru's past friends react to him

Some of Naruto's friends could be really enthusiastic about his new friendship with Tora. Choji might offer Tora some of his favorite snacks. Ino could try to dress Tora up in cute little outfits. However, Neji might be a bit skeptical at first, thinking that Tora could be a distraction for Naruto. But as he sees the positive impact on Naruto, he would come around.

Annabeth would probably be a mix of amused and exasperated. She might tease him a bit at first but then help him out if he's in an uncomfortable situation because of the dress. Grover would be really shocked at first but then try to be supportive. He might say something like 'Well, Percy, you look... different, but it's okay!'. As for Tyson, he would just be happy to see Percy and not really care about the dress all that much.

Sakura might be a bit hesitant at first. She's always seen Naruto as the go - lucky, friendly guy. But she would eventually support him if she saw that his intentions were good and that the empire was built on positive values like justice and equality. Sasuke, on the other hand, would be more cynical. He might suspect Naruto's motives initially, thinking it could lead to dictatorship. But after seeing Naruto's actions, he could become one of his closest advisors, using his own experiences to help Naruto avoid making mistakes. Shikamaru would be involved in the strategic planning. He would be both excited and worried about the whole idea, constantly thinking about the long - term consequences.

Sakura might be very worried. She's a medical ninja, so she would be concerned about the potential harm Naruto could be doing to himself. She'd probably try to stop him or at least monitor his experiments closely. Sasuke, on the other hand, might be more understanding in a way. He knows what it's like to push oneself for power, but he might also be a bit skeptical and warn Naruto about the risks.

Sakura would probably be a bit skeptical at first. She'd worry about how Naruto could take care of another person when he's always so busy with his ninja duties. But once she sees how much Koneko needs a home and how Naruto is committed, she'd warm up to the idea. Sasuke might not show much emotion on the surface, but secretly he'd respect Naruto's decision. Shikamaru would think it's a troublesome situation but would also see the good in Naruto giving Koneko a chance at a better life.

There could also be friends who are so loyal to Naruto that they would consider following his request if they truly believe it's for the greater good. However, they would be deeply pained by it. Kakashi, for instance, might understand Naruto's selfless nature but would also struggle with the moral and emotional implications of taking his life.

Sakura might be a bit worried at first. She's always been concerned about Naruto's safety, and a new weapon like Zabuza's sword could seem dangerous. But she would also trust Naruto's judgment in the end.

Ginny would be protective. If there were any fanfictions that she thought were disrespectful to Harry or painted him in a bad light, she'd be angry. But she'd also enjoy the ones that showed the depth of his character and his relationships with others, especially the ones that highlighted his relationship with her.

Sasuke would likely understand Naruto's motives better than most. He himself has had his own reasons for leaving in the past. He might give Naruto some advice based on his own experiences, like how to survive in unknown lands. But at the same time, he would also be a bit envious of Naruto's new adventure.

Blaise Zabini might be amused. He would probably tease Draco a bit at first, but then support him because Blaise is often portrayed as someone who is confident and not overly bound by convention. He might even give Draco some tips on how to make the hair color look even better.
