Yet again, with a little extra help: Difference between revisions

** Also directed at Jiraiya and Kakashi.

* [[All Is Well That Ends Well]]: Clearly averted when {{spoiler|Ghost calls out Sarutobi, Jiraiya, and Kakashi on their chronic neglect towards Naruto as a young child. Ghost even [[Curb Stomp Battle|beats the living crap]] out of Jiraiya WHILE he has Pa attached to his shoulder in Sage Mode.}}

** Partially counter-subverted when {{spoiler|Naruto forgives a "future-savvy" Sarutobi, with healthy helpings of heartwarming and humor. Hilariously so with Naruto and Jiraiya during preparations for the Chunin Exams and Invasion.}}

** Scabbard {{spoiler|blasts Minato practically halfway across the training grounds immediately after temporarily reviving him with a puppet as retribution for botching Naruto's seal so badly.}}

* [[Animal Motifs]]: Each of the Oogakari can turn into an animal. Ghost's cat affinity puts him at odds with the Inuzuka dogs for a while but rarely comes up much. Scabbard, in comparison, spends a good amount of time as a wolf.

** Crypt assumes a poultry-based form that is not to be spoken of, even by the other Oogakari, for fear of inviting apocalyptic consequences. Naruto, Hana, Anko, and {{spoiler|Danzo}} quickly adopt this well-deserved terror.

** Crypt used to turn into a crow, befitting his reaper motif, but he changed for [[Noodle Incident|reasons no one can remember]].

** Ever since Naruto nabbed his own motif, he has adopted an eternal fear of The Hunt.

*** Since Chapter 67, it's been revealed that Naruto also has a "Full Mini Fox" form a la Pilot Manga, that he's keeping in reserve for a REALLY rainy day with Hinata, so to speak.

* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: Sarutobi finally loses his temper with Orochimaru in their roof-top battle when the latter reveals that he knew the secret to dealing with paperwork all along and never told him.

"You evil little bastard!" }}

** Naruto considers his struggle to make his hood properly conceal his identity just as climactic as the coordination of his teams to utterly crush a coup aimed at {{spoiler|Princess Koyuki.}}

** A slightly lesser atomic but nonetheless noticeable one from Naruto when he realizes {{spoiler|he's fighting '''Rock Lee''' in the preliminaries of the Chunin Exam's third stage.}}

** And then after rodeo riding {{spoiler|Manda}}, Ghost gives us...

"…FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU…" }}

** The implied space between Chapters 65 and 66 starts off with this for Naruto and concludes right as Naruto is ending a [[Cluster F-Bomb|crazed, profanity-laden rant]] that has even {{spoiler|the Sanbi}} pausing in confusion.

* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]: Crypt.

** Also, squirrels and sweets for Shadow, squirrels and...everything else for Crypt.

* [[Author Appeal]]: All of the Oogakari family members wear a [[Badass Longcoat]] decorated with flames and clothes with tribal symbols.

* [[Awakening the Sleeping Giant]]: A drunken Ghost enacting a trans-dimensional escape from a rampaging Shadow after eating Crypt's questionable cooking serves as this for the Naruto universe, when he stumbles into Naruto's Biju extraction process at the beginning of the story. Given, the Oogakari aren't precisely neutral, but it took an event of sheer ridiculous dumb luck for them to even FIND the dimension in the first place.

** [[Genre Savvy|And then he'd give all of that to Shadow for more money and to get the poor girl even FURTHER into debt.]]

** Hell, Scabbard's presence/killing intent is essentially the most terrifying [[Awesomeness By Analysis]] imaginable.

* [[Awesome Yet Practical]]: The Seventh Sense, without a doubt, particularly when Naruto uses it to {{spoiler|render Sage Mode both able to setup while moving and indefinite in duration.}}

** War Scars is implied to be unparalleled in its stealth and [[Mook]]-massacring ability, especially when used by Ghost.

** There's also the Biju Cloaks, which feel horribly unnatural to normal ninja.

** The Oogakari have their own pressure associated with their killing intent that can rattle even Bijuu. In chapter 74 Shadow is so pissed off at being left behind even the bijuu are terrified, and I should mention even Shukaku, who is [[Ax Crazy]], was terrified.

* [[Battle Couple]]: Quite a few {{spoiler|1=Naruto/Hinata, Sasuke/Sakura, Choji/Ino, Neji/Tenten, Lee/Kin, and well not a couple per say, more of [[OT 3]] Anko/Ghost/Hana}}

* [[Because You Were Nice to Me]]: One of, if not THE, primary reasons that Sasuke {{spoiler|completely rejected any prospect of a [[Face Heel Turn]] against his teammates and has become such a team player.}}

* [[Big Fancy House]]: The Namikaze Estates and the Oogakari clan complex, the latter of which is a HELL of a lot bigger than most think.

* [[Bilingual Bonus]]

Crypt: "Ich bin ein Berliner!" }}

* [[Black Eyes of Evil|Black Eyes of AWESOME]]: One characteristic of Ghost's eyes.

* [[Broken Aesop]]: DEFINITELY do as the Oogakari say, not as they do. And sometimes, NOT EVEN THEN. Goes <s>double</s> <s>triple</s> <s>quad-</s> '''[[Overly Long Gag|QUINTUPLE]]''' for Crypt.

* [[Buffy-Speak]]: Dragon Demon Goddess... Thing.

'''Naruto''' (after groin damage): "I will fight for the honor of my lost 10,000 potential half children things… and the battle shall be glorious!" }}

* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Ghost, Crypt, Shadow, and eventually Naruto.

** Naruto catching and lowering an unfortunate Ishidate into a synchronized twin Kaiten attack by Hinata and Neji.

* [[Compensating for Something]]: Sasuke points out that Tenten would be accused of this is she were a man.

* [[The Corruption]]: Shadow gave the jinchuuriki a bottle of [[Fate/stay night|All the evils in the world]] for their training...if you know the Nasuverse, then you know just how bad it is.

* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Scabbard might as well be the trope namer for this. His insane mental processing speeds mean that the time it takes for him to actually become tactically unbeatable can be as short as a few minutes, instead of weeks, months, or years. When he arrives in the Naruto universe, the Oogakari influence in Konoha goes from Ghost ad-libbing encounter after encounter to Scabbard establishing contingency plans for practically everything imaginable.

** Naruto's unbroken daylong chain of [[Badass]] during the Chunin Exam Invasion arc exemplifies this. To clarify, he fights {{spoiler|Sasuke and Hinata}} in two epically pitched matches, then deploys hundreds and hundreds of shadow clones all over Konohagakure to help repel the invasion and protect citizens. He then {{spoiler|enters Sage Mode to unleash a Rasenshuriken that obliterates both Kidomaru and the Four Flames Barrier.}} And he STILL has more than enough strength to clear an entire sector's worth of Oto shinobi that several teams of Taki and Konoha Special Jonin and Jonin were stalemating against. Even when he's reduced to only a Chunin's worth of chakra, he's insistent on continuing the fight.

** Naruto defying the forces of nature, blocking the massive storm at sea from affecting Prince Michiru's ship, rain, wind, and all. He even plows through a tidal wave to prevent Hikaru and Lee from getting swept overboard.

* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: Ghost, one of the retainers of Zuzushi, is capable of actually defeating the Sky Mother and her host, the former of which is an entity that universally terrifies gods and demons both. {{spoiler|He actually does this in a sparring match to blow off steam after Tsume seriously antagonizes him.}}

** Tenten pretty much states this when {{spoiler|Kushina makes the Kyuubi heel with her chains.}}

* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: Hinata could possibly rival [[Bleach|Unohana]].

* [[Distracted by the Sexy]]: Extended to Onoki and Roshi. By both Naruto AND Konohamaru's group.

Kurotsuchi: "[[Gender Bender|Two traps]] [[Older Alter Ego|and a girl]] who is way too young to start seduction training…" }}

* [[The Dreaded]]: The Biju and the Shinigami all shy away from speaking the actual name of the Sky Mother, Zuzushi, much in the same manner that 5-year-old witches and wizards avoid saying [[Harry Potter (novel)|"Voldemort."]]

* [[Doorstopper]]: The current average is just under 15,000 <s>words</s> units-of-awesome per chapter, and the story's got a ''loooooong'' way to go before catching up to the manga.

** Oh, and the fic updates about once every 1-2 weeks. Third Fang is a ''machine''.

** At Chapter 66 Third Fang has cleared over [[Beyond the Impossible|1,000,000 words]].

** Dosu inadvertently does this to Naruto by taking a single swing at Kabuto. Granted, being a [[Peggy Sue]] may have had something to do with it, but it doesn't take away from the intimidation effect it has on the surrounding Chunin hopefuls that aren't part of the Rookie 12.

* [[Eye Scream]]: Waltz and the {{spoiler|Main Branch Hyuuga that threatens the Academy students.}}

** {{spoiler|Han}} does this to {{spoiler|Neji}}.

* [[Fan Girl]]: Putting aside Sasuke's canonical fans and the memories that haunt Scabbard, Tenten manages to be quite hilarious/terrifying in her pursuit of rare swords. She also manages to throw out quite a lot of [[Accidental Innuendo]] while in the throes of sword-lust.

* [[Friend to All Children]]: Waltz, in both his kindness towards children and his '''terrifying''' wrath towards those that would do them harm. His his grandfatherly friendship with Hanabi is made of [[WAFF]].

* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: Scabbard, played straight and true, particularly before he even arrives in the Naruto universe.

* [[Gambit Roulette]]: Scabbard embodies this trope so perfectly, he'd even make [[Beyond the Impossible|Aizen]] cry. Given that the Oogakari have already gone to the Bleach universe, {{spoiler|as Tenten's Zangetsu can attest}}, he probably already has. [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome|Many times]].

* [[Genius Ditz]]: Definitely Naruto, although the ditz component has been rapidly becoming deliberate and partially replaced by becoming [[The Chew Toy]] of the Oogakari.

** The Kyuubi invokes this in a discussion with Minato, going so far as to compare mankind to the Jubi in destructive capability.

* [[Hyper-Destructive Bouncing Ball]]: One of Chouji's attacks.

* [[I Taste Delicious]]: Naruto on acting as Kakashi's training dummy for ''chidori'' variants:

Everyone inched away slowly from the boy. "[[Brain Bleach|I'll try not to keep that in mind…]]" Sasuke nervously stated with an eyebrow twitching. }}

** Ghost invokes this when he's taunting {{spoiler|the head of the Main Branch Coup}} with a megaphone.

** Since then, the Oogakari have basically subverted this in that they defeat their bureaucratic obstacles with masterful negotiation, overwhelming influence, sheer force, or Crypt.

* [[Love Makes You Crazy]]: [[Harem Seeker|Ino, temporarily]]. Possibly the funniest scene in the whole fic.

** Played with regarding Sasuke's, Scabbard's, and {{spoiler|ITACHI'S}} experiences with fangirls.

** [[Covert Pervert|Hinata's]] [[Chekhov's Gun|diary]].

* [[Mad Bomber]]: [[Mad Artist|Dei]][[Terrorist Without a Cause|dara]] obviously, but [[Hero Protagonist|Naruto]] is somehow [[Up to Eleven|WORSE]].

* [[Mad Scientist]]: Scabbard Oogakari doesn't SEEM crazy at all... until he makes eye contact with Legos. The rest of the clan takes this in stride.

* [[Made of Explodium]]: Explosive squirrels in the Forest of Death.

** Naruto has taken a page out of {{spoiler|Itachi's book and given THIS to his shadow clones. [[Up to Eleven|He can make HUNDREDS, even with '''Kyuubi chakra.''']]}}

** Subverted in that Naruto utterly loathes his itchy mask enough to take it out to an open field and blow it up with an overpowered wind technique once he no longer needs it.

* [[Mass "Oh Crap"]]: Everyone during the Wave arc after Naruto insults the Kusa nin Rika

''"Seen… better…?" Rika repeated to herself in an unstable manner while reaching for several of her specially prepared kunai and senbon, a large demon appearing behind her. "I was going to go easy on you since you are just a genin… but NOW…" She started to throw large quantities of projectiles at the very scared blonde with bloody rage. "I'm gonna mutilate you!"'' }}

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Even moreso for Shikamaru now, even in-universe, much to his chagrin. {{spoiler|He creates a massive summon-sized buck out of his own shadows, completely one-up's Gaara's '''Desert Tsunami''' and is pretty much on the point of carrying the match before his particular [[Peggy Sue|bodily limitations]] and other priorities have him forfeit on purpose. Black Deer, indeed.}}

* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: Hana & Hinata patching up Naruto after his first match the tournament. {{spoiler|Hana is pinning a shirtless Naruto's arms, while giving him a good shot of her cleavage. Hinata in ripped clothes is straddling him to reopen his tenketsu.}} Cue Hinata's [[I Think You Broke Him|embarrassed BSOD]] when the rest of the rookies burst in on them.

** Averted with {{spoiler|Ghost/Hana/Anko's}} relationships whenever one walks into the other two

* [[The Nudifier]]: When Naruto was threatened by the villagers to forfeit his match against Hinata. Ghost then strips them of their clothing while the both of them continue on like nothing happened

* [[Obfuscating Insanity]]: The Oogakari and later Naruto make this a life philosophy.

** Ghost, Hana, and Anko, since quite early on to the present. Definitely going to stay that way.

* [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]: Scabbard, when pissed off, delivers a beautiful one.

* [[Protagonist Journey to Villain]]: Averted. Sasuke's journey in this regard comes to a screeching halt by {{spoiler|The Land of Waves Arc}}, starts backpedaling shortly thereafter, and by {{spoiler|the Chunin Exams}}, has basically accelerated to a full-on sprint in the opposite direction {{spoiler|and that was BEFORE he went to Sarutobi for answers to questions Itachi gave him. NOW he is practically at war with Madara}}.

* [[Puppy Dog Eyes]]: Mastered by Hinata before the beginning of the Chunin Exams. [[Epileptic Trees|Arguably her second set of incredibly broken Doujutsu.]]

** One notable example would be when Naruto gets more fox like features. To avoid having this spark fear and loathing in the villagers, Naruto gets hounded through the streets trying to escape his teacher's insanity, generating sympathy and amusement instead. {{spoiler|They pull this one off ''twice''.}}

** When Yugito reports to the Raikage about the aftermath of the Chuunin Exam Invasion, we get this:

The Raikage laughed. "Heh! I see you've been getting more creative with your responses." }}

* [[Reset Button]] / [[Peggy Sue]]: Best way to describe what happened.

* [[Sadist Teacher|Sadistic Trainers]] [[Training From Hell|From Hell]]: The Oogakari's method of training.

** This particular excerpt sums up Naruto's private sessions rather well, between Scabbard Oogakari and Rika, a Taki Special Jonin.

"Ah… a personal favorite…" }}

* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: Naruto has an obligatory instance of this when popular demand had Haku go Fem.

** Presumably a verrrry sarcastic moment of this by a tiny Zuzushi kicks off Shadow's latest angry, obscenity-filled rant.

* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]: When designated as mission leader of two teams for the {{spoiler|Prince of Moon Country arc}}, Naruto takes a certain portion of the in-universe rules of engagement that's been taken for granted by generations and generations of ninja... and promptly punt-kicks it out the window. In front of '''Sai''', no less.

** The Oogakari employ this quite a bit, the most notable example being {{spoiler|their reformation of the Hyuuga clan via a far superior alternative to the Caged Bird Seal.}}

** Hiashi himself invokes this, and arguably supports Naruto more actively than any other clan head short of Waltz.

* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: The first teamwork-based hand signs that Sasuke learns directly relate to this, mainly because he couldn't afford to NOT know when Ghost and Naruto were running around blowing everything up during training, which was (and is) frighteningly often.

** The Akatsuki themselves have been very well acquainted with this ever since one of Deidara's drunken episodes. And Itachi's slight irritation is evidence enough.

Naruto: "I'm a 13 year old boy. Of course I'm going to go overboard with the explosives if I'm capable of doing so." }}

* [[Stupid Evil]]: The fanon civilian council and an evil faction of Hyuuga Elders are present in all their glory. In some cases they count as [[Too Dumb to Live]].

** Despite the enemy doing whatever the hell they can, Scabbard does plenty of talking, and there's not a [[No Sell|THING]] his opponents can do about it.

* [[Tempting Fate]]: Naruto praying not to have to face Lee in the preliminaries. You know as soon as he thinks it exactly what is going to happen.

Kidomaru: [[Last Words|"Ha…HAH! Is that the best you got? I beat your stupid technique easily! That was nothing!"]] }}

** Tsunade and Jiraiya's lottery-based, "win-win" bet. {{spoiler|Tsunade wins and soon after the Main Branch Coup begins.}}

** Naruto's Rasenshuriken {{spoiler|rips apart the Sound Four's Four Flames Formation barrier, slaughtering Kidomaru, and would likely have inflicted terrible damage to those inside if it wasn't for Waltz. [[Ax Crazy|Zabuza was quite gleeful.]]}}

** This conversation among the Rookie 12 during the Chunin Exams hits it right on the nose.

Neji: "I believe the expression that would best answer this that Naruto and Sasuke would agree with would be 'go big or go home.'" }}

** WAR SCARS.

** Ghost, in particular, {{spoiler|devoted several centuries to the pursuit of finding someone or something capable of permanently killing him. Particularly after the passing of his last significant other.}}

* [[Weirdness Censor]]: Tenten speculates that this is part of the reason why Lee is so good at the Silent Killing technique.

* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: Ghost mentions that this is true of nearly all immortals eventually. The choice is whether to go ''partially'' insane to relieve the stress or to bottle it up and lose it completely.

** And naturally the popular meme that the stronger a ninja is the more eccentric they are shows up.

* [[You Never Asked]]: Ghost and Scabbard

* [[Your Head Asplode]]: Crypt. Chapter 52. [[Played for Laughs]].
