In a fanfic where Naruto's parents are alive, how would Naruto's relationships with other characters change?

His relationship with Sasuke would be very different. Instead of seeking Sasuke as a rival out of a sense of loneliness and a desire for power, he might see Sasuke more as a friend. With his parents' love, he wouldn't be as desperate for validation. So, they could be training partners and support each other in a more positive way.

The story would be very different. Naruto's parents being alive would mean he has a support system from the start. His father could pass on his jutsu and wisdom more directly. Naruto might not have the same drive to become Hokage in the same way, as he wouldn't be seeking that family - like recognition from the village. His mother's presence would also add an element of warmth and stability to his life. And perhaps he would be more of a prodigy with both his parents' guidance, changing the power dynamics in the ninja world.

His relationships might be less intense in some ways. Since he has a family, he might not be as clingy to his friends like Sasuke. For example, he wouldn't be as desperate to bring Sasuke back because he has his parents' support at home.

His relationship with his parents would be loving. Minato would be a strict but fair father, teaching Naruto about ninjutsu and the responsibilities of being a shinobi. Kushina would be the warm, affectionate mother, always there to comfort and encourage Naruto. They would support his dreams and be proud of his every achievement.

His character development would be different in that he'd have a stronger sense of family. Since his parents are alive, he has a more complete family unit. Their muteness would make him more protective of them. He'd learn patience earlier on, as communicating with mute parents can be a slow process at times. This new - found patience would spill over into his ninja training, allowing him to master difficult techniques more easily. He might also be less of a show - off, as his focus would be more on his family's well - being rather than seeking attention from the village.

With Kakashi, Kakashi would be extremely worried. He would probably try to find a way to get Naruto out of Akatsuki without causing too much chaos. Naruto, on the other hand, would have to keep his distance from Kakashi to maintain his cover in Akatsuki, which would be a difficult situation for both of them.

His relationship with Sasuke would be interesting. Sasuke might be a bit confused or even annoyed at first. He's used to Naruto being his own energetic self, and now Naruto is acting like Kakashi. Sasuke might see it as Naruto trying to be something he's not. But over time, he could come to respect Naruto's new - found admiration for Kakashi and see it as Naruto growing as a ninja.

He would be more confident. Growing up with his parents' love and presence would mean he doesn't have to constantly seek validation. So he might be less brash and more self - assured from the start.

At first, Naruto might be in disbelief that his parents are alive. But then, he would quickly embrace the opportunity to have a family. Minato would be a strict but loving father, guiding Naruto in his ninja path. Kushina would be the warm - hearted mother, cooking for him and giving him emotional support. Minato and Kushina would also have a romantic relationship that Naruto would observe. This could also teach Naruto about love and commitment in a relationship. Their presence would make Naruto feel more complete and confident, and he would strive to make them proud.

Naruto's relationship with Sasuke would be different. With a stable family life provided by Kushina, Naruto might not be as desperate for Sasuke's friendship initially. He could be more self - assured and approach Sasuke in a more balanced way. This could lead to a more positive relationship between them from the start.
