He might be shocked. In the fanfic, if he sees things like his friends' future achievements or the new threats that emerge, it would surely startle him. For example, if he discovers that one of his friends has a family of their own and has become a great leader in the village, he would be proud but also a bit surprised at how much has changed.
With his usual determination. Naruto has always been one to face difficulties head - on. So, even if he's shocked by what he sees in the fanfic's future, he'll likely try to find solutions immediately.
Well, first of all, Minato would likely be shocked. Naruto's past was full of hardships and loneliness. Minato would probably experience a mix of emotions. He might be sad that Naruto had to endure so much pain. He could also be proud of how Naruto overcame all those difficulties and still managed to grow into a strong and kind - hearted person. He might even try to find ways to comfort Naruto in this fanfiction world, like giving him some long - lost family memories or advice that could have made his journey easier.
Boruto might be in awe. He has always known his father as the Hokage, a powerful and respected figure. Seeing Naruto's past full of struggles, loneliness, and determination would make him realize how far his father has come. It could also make Boruto more empathetic towards Naruto and perhaps inspire him to be more like his father in some ways.
Naruto's power of the Nine - Tails would be a major factor. In the past, the Nine - Tails was feared and hunted. If Naruto shows up with the power under control, it could change how people view the beast. His chakra reserves, which are huge because of the Nine - Tails, could allow him to perform feats that were previously thought impossible in the past, like quickly rebuilding a village or fending off a large - scale invasion on his own.
Probably his time at the Ninja Academy. Naruto was always getting into trouble there, but it was also where he made some of his first friends. Also, his encounters with the Third Hokage could be shown. The Third Hokage was like a grandfather figure to Naruto, and their interactions were important in Naruto's development.
He could also develop a deeper understanding of the history and roots of the Hidden Leaf. By being in the past, he gets to experience the events that shaped the village first - hand. This makes him more empathetic towards the founders and previous generations, and he might bring back a new sense of pride and respect for the village's heritage when he returns to his own time. Well, in some fanfictions, he might also struggle with the idea of changing the past too much. He has to balance his desire to make things better with the potential consequences of altering history, which adds a layer of moral complexity to his character development.
Naruto's character might develop a greater sense of responsibility as he realizes the impact of his actions in the past on the future. He may become more patient, knowing that he has to tread carefully to avoid major disruptions.
Well, in a fanfiction about the Rookie 9 as adults in Naruto's past, one aspect could be their relationships. Some might have developed deeper friendships, while there could be new rivalries or romances. Their skills would also have evolved. Sakura could be a highly skilled medical ninja, and Naruto might be well - on - his - way to becoming Hokage even in the past - themed fanfic. They would all contribute to the village in different ways.
