Who might Naruto meet in 'naruto runs away to kumo fanfiction' during his journey to Kumo?

Adapting to a new ninja system could be a big challenge. Kumo may have different training methods, rules, and traditions compared to his home village. Naruto would need to learn and adjust quickly if he wants to survive there.

Maybe he's running away from some kind of danger or threat in his home village. There could be a group or an individual after him, and he believes that Kumo would be a safer place. It could also be related to some political unrest in Konoha that makes him feel like he has to leave, and Kumo seems like a viable option.

Naruto could meet the Raikage in this fanfic. The Raikage, being the leader of Kumo, would surely take notice of Naruto's arrival. They might start off on a tense note, as Naruto is from a different village, but later develop an understanding.

He might meet a young and idealistic ninja in Kumo. This ninja could show Naruto a different way of looking at the ninja world. Maybe this Kumo ninja has a more peaceful approach to resolving conflicts, which makes Naruto re - evaluate his own views on fighting and rivalry between villages.

It could be Killer Bee. He's a very well - known and powerful ninja from Kumo. His unique fighting style and his status as a Jinchuriki would make him a great candidate to be the one who saves Naruto.

He could meet the Raikage. The Raikage might be initially skeptical of Naruto but could later see his potential. There are also other strong ninjas in Kumo like Killer Bee. Naruto might cross paths with him and they could have some interesting interactions, perhaps even training together.

He might meet some of his distant Uzumaki relatives. There could be elders or other Uzumaki clan members who have valuable knowledge about his family and their special abilities.

He could meet some of Iwa's powerful ninjas. Maybe Onoki, who could either see him as a threat or an opportunity. There might also be some young Iwa ninjas who are curious about Naruto and his abilities.

He could form a strong bond with Killer Bee. They are both Jinchuriki, so they might share their experiences and train together. This could lead to a deeper understanding between Konoha and Kumo as a result of their friendship.

He would surely meet Gaara. Gaara has had his own struggles and he might be able to understand Naruto on a deeper level. They could form an even stronger bond than before, with Gaara helping Naruto hide from those who might be looking for him in Suna.
