Line 49:
* [[Red Baron]]: The Copy-Cat Ninja, Sharingan Obito, or [[Embarrassing Nickname|Konoha's Burning Assassin]]. The first two are a result of him activating and mastering his Sharingan within six months, and he actually kept this development a secret from his clan; Fugaku found out about this development through an enemy's captured bingo book and never forgave Obito for keeping it a secret. The last one is a [[Noodle Incident|mystery]].
* [[Spared by the Adaptation]]: The mission to Kusa was fortunately [[For Want of a Nail|derailed]] by Nariko's interference.
** [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Living to adulthood can do that for a kid.
* [[Summon Magic]]: He has a summoning contract for hawks.
* [[Trickster Mentor]]: It should probably be mentioned that he likes introducing his students to [[Large Ham|Maito Gai]].
** [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]: Has been on both the giving and receiving end of this trope. His genin team never did quite recover...nor did Iruka. Most of this is because he likes to inflict Maito Gai on people.
 
==== Kakashi Hatake ====
Line 65:
* [[Red Baron]]: Konoha's White Wolf.
* [[Shock and Awe]]: His affinity.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: He ended up concentrating on improving his speed, strength, and skill with his father's tanto during the interim years he spent in ANBU. He's therefore stronger, faster, and has more endurance than his canon counterpart.
* [[Urban Legend Love Life]]: Thanks to a rumor started by Obito.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: With Obito, sometimes.
Line 85:
* [[Pregnant Badass]]: Not that she knows about it until the Chuunin Exam arc.
* [[Stuffed Into the Fridge]]: [[Defied Trope|Defied]]. Kabuto is given a beatdown for the attempt.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Remember the little girl who got kidnapped during that one mission to Kusa? She got better. It's amazing what living to adulthood can do for a character.
 
==== Iruka Umino ====
Line 101:
* [[Super Senses]]: His hearing, which is mentioned as early as his genin days.
* [[Stern Teacher]]: For the Konoha Twelve.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Sort of a side effect of associating with Obito since before making genin. When Iruka was later practicing for the Chuunin Exams and Takomi needed to find a sensei for him, Obito volunteered to help him, which Iruka's sensei accepted. [[Training Fromfrom Hell|He just didn't mention that Maito Gai was going to be his assistant]].
 
==== Itachi Uchiha ====
Line 161:
* [[Smitten Teenage Girl]]: For Sasuke, of course.
* [[Teen Genius]]: In her own studious sort of way.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Thank you, Rin.
 
==== Hanare ====
Line 224:
*** [[Cold Flames]]
* [[The Patriarch]]: He's a nine-tailed fox with more than sixteen offspring. He rules them all with a bunch of jokes, plenty of power, and absolute loyalty.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Guess who made it to nine tails and near-invincibility?
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]
 
Line 272:
=== Original Characters from ''[[The Promise (fanfic)|The Promise]]'' feature these tropes: ===
==== Nariko Inabikarito ====
The oldest of the fox youkai who decide to stick around in Konoha, Nariko has a high opinion of herself when she arrives. That quickly changes once she gets some actual experience, and eventually she becomes a stronger and kinder person for it.
* [[Ambadassador]]: {{spoiler|Several years post-Madara, she finally earns this position among her peers and spends most of her time in Konoha, when she's not just being her family's [[Courier]].}}
* [[Badly-Battered Babysitter]]: {{spoiler|When you're looking after [[Naruto|Naruto and Sasuke]], this kind of thing is expected. And justified.}}
Line 304:
** {{spoiler|The sole survivor of her litter, she occasionally has problems with the idea of losing any more loved ones.}}
** [[Took a Level In Kindness]]: From her first, rather arrogant, persona.
** [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: As a result of [[Training Fromfrom Hell]] with Sanyu and Amaya, who are both several [[Character Tiers]] higher than she is. Still disappears into a [[Corner of Woe]] if said said training is mentioned.
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Inarizushi and any other type of fried tofu dish. Also, rice.
* [[Unusual Eyebrows]]: Hers are shaped more like slightly elongated black dots than anything. It's an ''[[Okami]]'' reference.
Line 424:
* [[The Berserker]]
* [[Body Horror]]: A potent source of it since she's basically an evil Stitchpunk. The in-universe explanation is that Orochimaru tried to replicate Kakuzu's modifications and failed. She also later had one of her arms blown to pieces, along with about half of her face, which later led to her being given a Byakugan implant and an artificial arm.
* [[Dead Little Sister]]: Her sister, San. Not that she knows this.
* [[Elemental Powers]]: She has two implanted hearts, much like Kakuzu, which allow her to use Water and Earth Release techniques despite not being able to form hand seals.
* [[Handicapped Badass]]: She can't use hand seals because her replacement puppet arm doesn't have fingers.
* [[HeelDeadly Face Door SlamChange-of-Heart]]: She gets offed while trying to backstab Orochimaru.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: It's a bit of a multilingual pun, but while Ai is driven by her love for her younger sister, she also has about as much in the way of emotions as HAL, an AI.
* [[Rocket Punch]]: With her puppet arm.
* [[The Voiceless]]
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: She doesn't really care about anyone or anything other than her baby sister. When it's revealed that Orochimaru lied to her about the girl's death, she turns on him. [[Redemption Equals Death|It's terminal]].
 
 
Line 457:
* [[Brainy Brunette]]
* [[Big Sister Instinct]]: She has this regarding her teammates.
* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: She's very creative, but hates hard work.
* [[The Captain]]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander's Minder]]
* [[Combat Medic]]: She admits that she'd much rather fight than heal. She even uses chakra scalpels as weapons if she feels she can get away with it. But when the shortage of medics becomes a problem, she's a competent-though-not-amazing team medic under pressure.
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: One of the things Kei's father taught her is that ''every'' fight is a serious one and to treat them all the same way. So, she tends not to pay attention to little things like "honor" and "common decency" when she actually has to fight.
* [[The Comically Serious]]
Line 471:
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: Kei is only the first part of her name, and she refuses to give out the rest.
* [[Rant-Inducing Slight]]: Being told that she's heavy for a kunoichi, then later finding out that she weighs more than Itachi does. It's sort of like her [[Berserk Button]].
* [[Shock and Awe]]
* [[Sibling Rivalry]]: Kei and her brother Gin both lead chuunin teams and are often assigned to the same missions because their specialties overlap, but neither one likes it.
* [[Sir Swearsalot]]
* [[Straight Man]]: To Asahina and Nori, much to her resignation.
