What If Naruto Became Evil

When the Child of Prophecy becomes the harbinger of chaos.

Naruto Uzumaki—loud, hyper, ramen-obsessed, and one of the most iconic heroes in anime history.

But what if… that light turned dark?

What if, after years of neglect, loneliness, betrayal, and hatred… Naruto broke?
What if he chose vengeance over empathy, power over connection, domination over peace?

Let’s dive into the chilling possibilities of an Evil Naruto.

The Making of an Evil Naruto

Naruto’s backstory already had every ingredient to breed a villain:

Orphaned at birth
Feared and rejected by the entire village
Lied to about his past and Kurama
Grew up in poverty and isolation
Constantly compared to prodigies like Sasuke

If just one thing changed—if he didn’t meet Iruka, or if Hiruzen didn’t keep an eye on him, or if Mizuki succeeded in manipulating him—Naruto could’ve spiraled.

A world that gives him nothing?
He decides to burn it down.

Kurama’s Influence

In canon, Kurama slowly becomes Naruto’s ally.

But early on? Kurama hated humanity. And if Naruto embraced that hatred?

Evil Naruto + Kurama’s full power = a monstrous force of destruction.

Imagine Naruto using Kurama like a weapon, not a partner. Villages wiped out. Entire clans leveled. A teenage jinchūriki turning into a walking apocalypse.

Evil Naruto’s Ideology

Unlike villains like Madara or Pain, Evil Naruto wouldn’t fight for ideology at first—he’d fight out of pure bitterness.

But as he grew more powerful and cunning, his philosophy would likely evolve into something like:

“The world only respects strength. I’ll give it a reason to bow.”

He could:

Rebuild the Uzumaki Clan by force
Create his own rogue nation of outcasts and jinchūriki
Wipe out corrupt daimyos and ninja elders
Seek revenge on Konoha for betraying him

He’d become what Pain wanted to be: a god of fear and consequence.

What Happens to His Friends?

Sasuke

Ironically, Evil Naruto might still bond with Sasuke—but as fellow enemies of the system. Instead of fighting each other, they team up. The “what could’ve been” duo turns into a nightmare alliance.

Or… they clash in reverse roles:
Sasuke becomes the protector. Naruto becomes the destroyer.

Sakura & Kakashi

Heartbroken. Desperate to redeem him. Kakashi may blame himself for not guiding Naruto better. Sakura might try to bring him back—until it’s too late.

Hinata

Still believes in him. But her kindness becomes a liability in his world. He may ignore her… or protect her as the last remnant of who he used to be.

The World vs Evil Naruto

Once Naruto goes rogue, every major nation becomes alert.
The Akatsuki might try to recruit him. Or fear him. Or get destroyed by him.

The Five Kage might unite against him.

He’d become the single greatest threat to the shinobi world.

Imagine:

Tsunade reluctantly orders his execution.
Gaara tries to reason with him—only to be crushed by someone who once understood him.
Orochimaru avoids him. Even he knows not to poke the fox.

Could He Be Redeemed?

Maybe.

Maybe there’s a moment when he looks in the mirror and sees the boy Iruka once believed in.

Maybe someone—Hinata, Kakashi, even Konohamaru—gets through to him.

But redemption would be harder than Sasuke’s. Because Naruto didn’t fall from grace—he was never given it.

Final Showdown: The Battle That Ends the Era

In a dark timeline, Evil Naruto becomes the final villain of the shinobi world.

Boruto? Doesn’t exist.
Peace? Shattered.
The prophecy? Twisted.

Naruto doesn’t fight to protect the world—he fights to punish it.

And the final battle isn’t between friends…

…it’s between what Naruto could have been and what he chose to become.

The Takeaway

Evil Naruto isn’t just fanfiction fuel—it’s a reminder of how fragile the line between hero and villain really is.

What saved Naruto wasn’t power.
It was kindness.
Connection.
Hope.

Without that?

The world would’ve bowed to a demon in human skin.

Your Turn:

Who could’ve stopped Evil Naruto?
Would he be stronger than Madara or Pain?
Could Sasuke or Hinata bring him back?
What would his version of peace look like?

Let’s hear your thoughts, shinobi.
