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 would be really happy for them. She has seen Naruto grow and has always wanted him to find true love. Since she has moved on from her old feelings for Naruto, she would be supportive and might even offer to help with the wedding preparations. Shikamaru would probably be a bit lazy about it at first, but deep down he'd be glad for Naruto. He'd say something like 'What a drag, but if it makes you happy, Naruto.' Kiba would be excited, especially since Hinata is his teammate. He might tease Naruto a bit about finally getting the girl.
Their friends' reactions would be quite diverse. For instance, Ino, who was once Sakura's rival, would have a mixed reaction. On one hand, she would be happy for Sakura as they have grown to be friends over the years. On the other hand, she might feel a bit envious. Choji would be excited and would look forward to all the feasts at the wedding. As for Lee, he would be over - the - moon for Naruto and Sakura. He would probably give them some long - winded and passionate speeches about love and friendship.
His friends from Team 7, like Kakashi, would feel responsible for Naruto's situation. Kakashi would likely use his resources to find a proper shelter for Naruto. Shikamaru and the others might come together to form a sort of support group for Naruto. They would pool their resources, like money and food, and also try to cheer him up by sharing stories and jokes.
His friends like Kakashi would be cautious yet supportive. Kakashi would likely give Naruto advice on how to handle the relationship and the responsibilities that come with it. In Kirigakure, Mei's comrades might initially be distrustful of Naruto, but as they see his good intentions and how he treats Mei, they would gradually accept him. And Naruto's friends from other villages he has befriended over the years would see it as a positive step towards a more unified ninja world.
Kakashi would be more of a supportive figure. He has seen Naruto and Sakura grow up, and he would likely be happy for them. He might offer some advice to Naruto on how to handle this new relationship, especially considering the challenges they might face as ninjas. For Sakura, he could give her words of encouragement to be true to her feelings.
Sasuke might initially be a bit aloof but secretly be happy for them. He's always had a complex relationship with Naruto and Sakura, and deep down, he would see that they are good for each other.
Sasuke might be initially cautious. He would observe Cell carefully to assess his threat level. He could offer his Sharingan - enhanced perception to help Naruto in the fight. Sakura, she would be worried about Naruto but also ready to jump in and heal any wounds. Shikamaru might be thinking of strategies in the background, trying to come up with a way to outwit Cell using his intelligence.
His friends' reactions would be diverse. Naruto's more hot - headed friends like Kiba might be excited about the new firepower the modern army brings. They might want to jump right into using the guns and other weapons. But Naruto's calmer friends like Neji (if he were still alive in the fanfiction) would be more cautious. They would worry about the long - term effects on the ninja world, such as the potential for mass destruction and how it would change the balance of power. And Ino might be interested in how the modern army's communication systems could be used to improve their own ninja intelligence networks.
