Perhaps a fanfiction could focus on how the events in the Land of Waves affected the economy and the daily lives of the people there. Naruto could witness the struggles of the villagers and come up with a plan to help them, using his unique perspective as an outsider. This would not only show his growth as a character but also give a different view of the Land of Waves.
Obviously Naruto himself. He is the main character and his growth and development during this arc are crucial. Then there's Zabuza and Haku. Their story of being outcasts and their complex relationship is very interesting to explore further. Tazuna also plays an important role as he is the reason Naruto and his team are in the Land of Waves in the first place.
One possible plot could be that Sakura, in this fanfiction, has to face a powerful and unexpected enemy in the Land of Waves. Maybe she discovers a new jutsu during this first kill situation, which then changes her role within her team. It could also involve her making tough decisions that test her loyalty and values.
Sasuke would likely be devastated. Despite their past differences, Naruto was his rival and in a way, his closest friend. He might go into a deep state of regret and isolation. Sakura would be heart - broken. She loved Naruto, and his death would be a huge blow to her. She might become more withdrawn and focus all her energy on her medical ninjutsu. Kakashi would be filled with a sense of failure. He was Naruto's teacher, and he would feel responsible for not being able to protect him.
Sasuke might initially be indifferent on the surface, but deep down he would feel a sense of loss. He has always had a rivalry with Naruto, and Naruto's departure would mean an end to that dynamic. Sakura would be devastated. She has grown to care about Naruto as a friend and teammate, and his leaving would leave a big hole in the team.
Well, Sasuke might initially be a bit shocked but then he'd try to hide his concern. Sakura would be very empathetic and might immediately want to do something to help Naruto. Kakashi, being the experienced one, would take a more calm and strategic approach to deal with Naruto's situation and protect him from further abuse.
They would be shocked at first. Minato would be filled with pride and joy seeing his son all grown up. Kakashi would respect Naruto's strength. Obito might be a bit envious of Naruto's popularity but also admire his spirit. Rin would be very friendly towards Naruto.
Sakura may become more empathetic. Killing someone, even in a fictional context, can make a character understand the value of life more deeply. She might start to see the enemies not just as faceless foes but as people with their own stories. This could lead to her trying to find non - violent solutions in future situations whenever possible.
Ruby would probably be very excited. She loves new stories and ideas, so fanfics would be like a treasure trove for her. Weiss might be a bit more reserved at first, but would gradually get into it if the fanfic was well - written. Blake would be looking for deeper meanings and connections in the fanfics, while Yang would be the one to cheer and comment loudly on the action - packed or humorous parts.
When Team Minato meets Hokage Naruto in a fanfiction, their reactions would depend on their individual personalities. Minato would be overjoyed and would immediately start asking Naruto about his achievements and how he has led the village. Kakashi would be his usual calm self but would show his admiration through his words and actions. Obito, who has had a difficult journey, might initially be hesitant but then would be inspired by Naruto. Rin would be the most excited, perhaps jumping up and down and saying how wonderful it is that Naruto is the Hokage. This encounter could also lead to a deeper understanding between them all and a strengthening of the bonds between generations.
