A ''[[Naruto]]'' [[Self Insert]] [[Fanfic]], the story is as follows:
Line 9:
"Shikako Nara is an average girl from the Village Hidden in the Leaves. She has friends, a loving family, but there is something different about her, a secret. And she's been keeping it from birth."
A unique approach to the self-insert genre of fan-fiction, ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120422074449/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7347955/1/Dreaming_of_Sunshine Dreaming of Sunshine]'' avoids many of the more common pitfalls associated with the poorer examples - via snappy dialogue and a plot that remains focused on the inner struggles of the protagonist as an observer.
A massive door-stopper guaranteed to keep you reading for hours.
Also has a supplementary fic called ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120422074424/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7898335/1/Sunshine_Sidestories Sunshine Sidestories]'', which expands on material not seen through Shikako's eyes.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Author Avatar]]
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Shikako.
Line 29 ⟶ 27:

** {{spoiler|And then by the Sound Four against Ibuki.}}
* [[Death
** {{spoiler|Shikako killing the Sound Trio}} is an example of Type 2.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Shikako, occasionally.
Line 46 ⟶ 44:
* [[In Spite of a Nail]]: Several things that one might expect to play out differently don't. For example, most of the match ups in the chuunin exams are the same as in the original story {{spoiler|despite the fact that Shikako killed the Sound team. Shikako theorizes that this is because the selection of the participants was rigged.}}
** Also noteable in some other instances because for the most part Shikako has been attempting to avoid changing anything major- after all the best parts of her inside knowledge depend on some things remaining consistent. At first. {{spoiler|Unfortunately she's forgotten some of it.}}
** Despite this, a number of things ''[[For Want of a Nail|do change]]'' - the above [[Death
*** And then there's the big one: {{spoiler|Sasuke ''does not'' defect to Orochimaru.}}
* [[Jack of All Stats]]: Unlike most ninja, Shikako has a wide range of abilities instead of specializing in a single area, which gives her considerable tactical flexibility.
Line 57 ⟶ 55:
** [[Healing Hands]]: She also knows how to use medical ninjutsu, although she isn't skilled enough to heal major injuries.
** [[Master of Illusion]]: She's decent at genjutsu, too.
** [[The Force Is Strong
* [[Laser Blade]]: The Sword of the Thunder God. It's similarity to a [[Star Wars|lightsaber]] is [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by Shikako.
{{quote|
* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]: It's hard to hide that Shikako replaces Sakura on Team 7, making the latter [[Demoted to Extra]].
* [[Mind Rape]]: {{spoiler|Shikako gets subjected to Tsukuyomi. It was so bad that she kept screaming ''even after she was knocked unconscious''.}}
Line 71 ⟶ 69:
* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: Shikako comes up with several plans {{spoiler|to fight Zabuza and Haku.}} Unfortunately, she forgets to tell them to her teammates. {{spoiler|Fortunately, none of them actually die.}}
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Shikako delivers one {{spoiler|when Itachi corners her and Naruto.}}
* [[Redemption Earns Life]]: {{spoiler|Zabuza and Haku, at least compared to canon where Haku never actually turned and Zabuza simply went [[Taking You
* [[Self Insert]]: By way of [[Reincarnation]].
* [[Shout
** ''[[Dune|Fear is the mind killer.]]''
** Shikako also quotes [[Shakespeare]] at one point.
Line 79 ⟶ 77:
** A kidou spell from ''[[Bleach]]'' is used as an identification code between Konoha ninja.
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Shikako has shades of this, especially early on. Nowhere near as bad as Hinata, though.
* [[Spared
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: Shikako is fond of explosions, which turns into something of a [[Running Gag]].
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: Shikako [[Invoked Trope|does this deliberately]] in order to warn Fuu about the Akatsuki.
