Line 8:
The story is noted for being an exceptionally organic take on the source material, with all major characters being fleshed out and well developed. With Naruto and Hinata now being on the same team, naturally the story is a Naruto/Hinata pairing, but Shino and Kurenai also receive their fair share of attention, with Kurenai in particular receiving a fleshed-out background that has so far only been hinted at in places.
The story is currently{{when}} in the "Search for Tsunade" arc, although events have naturally progressed quite differently. The author maintains [http://www.viridiandreams.net/ a blog] and [http://www.viridiandreams.net/forum/index.php an active forum] where he posts occasional word count updates and is also involved in several other projects, such as the equally well-written ''[[Harry Potter and the Nightmares of Futures Past]]''.
Of related interest is ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3079936/1/Snapped Snapped]'', a Team 8 AU also written by S'TarKan, which is a one-shot scenario detailing what it would take for Hinata to... well, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|snap]].
Line 158:
* [[Mundane Utility]]: Shadow clones. Good for supply gathering, gardening, and making take-out runs. Of course, this was sort of a given, as Naruto's first solution to any problem seems to be [[Zerg Rush|'throw a bunch of clones at it']].
* [[My Significance Sense Is Tingling]]: Spoofed in chapter 14. Naruto and Kurenai have a very serious talk {{spoiler|regarding the Kyuubi.}} Given the seriousness of the matter involved, [[Hot-Blooded|Naruto]] decides for once in his life to be silent. Cut to a scene of Iruka suddenly getting shivers, reacting as if a major violation of the Universe laws was happening.
* [[Nakama]]: One of the most heartwarming elements of the story is seeing the members of the eponymous team turning into this as time goes on. Specially in the case of [[All of the Other Reindeer|Naruto]] and [[Abusive Parents|Hinata]], as the team eventually becomes their main solace given their horrible childhood and the closest thing they have to a real family.
* [[Never Mess with Granny]]: Hi, Tsunade!
* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]: Despite Hinata's increased training and confidence, Neji still beats her within an inch of her life in the Chuunin Exam preliminaries.
