It could be that Naruto is trying to prove himself. He wants to show that he can be as great a fighter as his father. Also, he might have received some training or knowledge transfer from someone who knew Minato well. This could have inspired him to adopt Minato's fighting style. He may also be in a situation where his normal fighting style isn't working, so he turns to Minato's as a last resort.
One possible reason could be a misunderstanding. Maybe Naruto gets involved in some dangerous situation and they disagree on how to handle it. For example, if Naruto wants to take on a powerful enemy alone but Minato and Kushina think it's too risky.
If the fight got really intense and out of hand, it could also make Naruto feel pressured to choose sides. However, Naruto being Naruto, he would most likely try to find a way to reconcile them instead. This would show his growth as a person and his ability to rise above family disputes.
It could strengthen their relationship. They might share a laugh over some of the silly or creative fanfiction ideas. For example, if there was a humorous fanfiction about Naruto's early childhood antics, they could bond over reminiscing about that time.
One of the main similarities is their self - sacrifice. Minato sacrificed himself to save the village and his son. Naruto has also shown that he is willing to put himself in harm's way for the greater good. He's always the first to jump into a dangerous situation if it means protecting those he loves. Another aspect is their leadership qualities. Minato was a great leader as Hokage, and Naruto has developed into a great leader as well, inspiring those around him.
Kushina could be an important character even though she's dead in the original story. In this fanfic, her spirit or memories could play a role in Naruto's upbringing. For example, Minato could tell Naruto stories about Kushina's feisty personality and her love for the village.
In some fanfictions, Minato saves Naruto physically. For example, he might use his teleportation jutsu to appear right in the middle of a fight and whisk Naruto away from danger. In others, he could save Naruto spiritually. He might enter Naruto's mind, like in the fanfic 'Minato's Mind - Saving Mission', and give him the strength and confidence to overcome his inner demons. Sometimes, Minato saves Naruto from a political situation. For instance, in 'Minato and the Hidden Leaf's Politics', he uses his influence and wisdom to protect Naruto from being used as a political pawn.
Minato would likely be extremely shocked. Naruto is his son, and the idea of Naruto attacking him would be completely unexpected. He would probably try to talk to Naruto first, to find out what is wrong and why he is being attacked.
One common ability is their speed. Minato was known as the Yellow Flash for his incredible speed. Naruto, with his Sage Mode and later forms, can also move extremely fast. Another is their use of the Rasengan. Minato created the Rasengan, and Naruto has mastered it and even developed it further.
One possible reason could be for Naruto's protection. Maybe Minato knew of some great danger that was coming for Naruto and he thought that banishing him would keep him out of harm's way. Another reason might be related to some prophecy or hidden power within Naruto that Minato feared could be misused if Naruto stayed in the village.
