naruto runs away from the academy

In a Naruto fanfic where Naruto runs away from Kushina, it could be due to various reasons. Maybe he feels misunderstood. For example, Kushina might be too strict with him in the fanfic's storyline, not allowing him to pursue his own ninja way freely, so he decides to run away to find his own path and prove himself.

Perhaps Naruto feels that Kushina is being overprotective. He wants to prove his independence and go on his own adventures without her constant supervision, so he decides to run away.

He might miss out on some crucial training. Jiraiya has a lot of knowledge and skills to pass on, and by running away, Naruto could fall behind in his development as a ninja.

One possible reason could be that Naruto might be afraid of the intense training Jiraiya has in store for him. Jiraiya is known for his strict and grueling training methods, and Naruto, being young and sometimes impatient, might just want to escape that for a while.

Maybe he feels misunderstood by his family. In many Naruto stories, his family situation can be complex. If he's 'godlike', he might have powers that his family doesn't understand or fears, leading him to run away to avoid conflict or being treated differently.

One possible reason could be fear. Minato is a very powerful shinobi, and Naruto might be scared of him for some reason. Maybe he has heard stories about Minato that made him afraid.

He could become stronger on his own. Away from his family, he'll have to rely solely on himself. This self - reliance might push him to train harder and unlock even more of his 'godlike' powers. For instance, he might find new mentors or training methods that his family would not have allowed.

Maybe he's running away from the pressure in the village. There are always high expectations on him, and he might feel suffocated and need some time alone to figure things out.

Another reason could be for the sake of protecting the village. Maybe he discovers some sort of threat that he believes he can only face by leaving Konoha. He doesn't want the village to be in danger because of him, so he runs away to draw the danger away from Konoha.

One possible plot could be that Naruto feels constantly overshadowed by his family's expectations. Maybe his family is full of powerful shinobi and they expect him to be just as great immediately. He runs away to find his own path and prove himself on his own terms. Along the way, he meets new friends who are also outcasts and together they form a sort of 'family' that accepts him for who he is.
