=== This fanfiction series contains examples of: ===
==A-E==
 
* [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: Sasuke, when he channels fire and lightning elemental chakra into his sword '''simultaneously.''' For example, {{spoiler|fighting off Naruto's flaming boulder barrage in the Chunin Exams}} and {{spoiler|forcing Kimimaro to discard his bone sword}} spring to mind.
** Not to mention its simultaneous paralysis and burning capabilities, the latter of which is compared to poison.
Line 14 ⟶ 17:
** Waltz's sword, God's Tear: "It enables me to cut through that which cannot be cut and nothing more." {{spoiler|This includes the connection between the sacrifice and the summoned for [[Beyond the Impossible|Edo Tensei]].}}
** Borderline when dealing with Naruto and his first set of Fox Talons... but the {{spoiler|Fox Talons 2.0}} are definitely capable of this, bringing a boss-summon-scaled chakra blade to bear that can even {{spoiler|split one of the '''Sanbi's''' water blasts in half}}.
* [[Abuse Is Okay When Its Female On Male]]: Ghost seems to find getting the crap kicked out of him just as funny as whatever stunt he pulled to set it off in the first place. A reluctant [[Butt Monkey|Naruto]] also gets this when forced to peep for said pervert.
** Anko is also definitely privy to this when she tosses an underwear-covered Naruto into the female section of the baths for training. Three guesses what kind of underwear the poor kid was covered in.
** Sarutobi [[Kick the Dog|milks this to the brim by sending Naruto on a near-literal]] [[Suicide Mission]] into the heart of the Secret Jonin Kunoichi Hot Springs in order to {{spoiler|take a whole batch of dirty pictures to placate Onoki and entertain Roshi. Naruto avoids their bloody vengeance just long enough to hand off the camera.}}
** Naruto suffers refusals to rejuvenate him twice on the Moon Country mission, the first from Hinata after his impromptu "spar" with Sasuke, and the second by {{spoiler|Kushina}} when he overdoes it on the alcohol and comes within a hairsbreadth of stripping...with the Sexy Jutsu activated.
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Hinata and Gaara deal with this in different ways. Hinata grows a backbone, snaps back, and shows the entire clan just what she's capable of. Gaara simply allows Orochimaru to kill his father. AGAIN.
* [[Adaptational Badass]]: Hinata, even moreso than her canon counterpart. She's one of the hardest-hitting members of the Rookie 12, up there with Naruto and Rock Lee, and possibly the most skilled next to Naruto. She even had {{spoiler|Kabuto}} cornered when he went after Naruto instead of Sasuke due to a small case of [[Butterfly of Doom|the Butterfly Effect]].
Line 30 ⟶ 29:
* [[Adults Are Useless]]: Well, the Sandaime was after doing nothing when Naruto was beaten half to death.
** Also directed at Jiraiya and Kakashi.
* [[AllAny IsTorment WellYou ThatCan EndsWalk WellAway From]]: 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.}}
{{quote|"HAHAHAHAHA MOOOOOOOO!"}}
** 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.}}
Line 59 ⟶ 58:
{{quote|Kuromaru sweatdropped. "You landed on your shoulder, didn't you?"
"…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.
* [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]]: Triumphantly subverted when Naruto's prior reasoning with Sasuke and common sense prevail.
** {{spoiler|Sasuke arrives with his Blaze Edge and 3-Tomoe Sharingan and places Naruto's safety before his own enmity towards his brother. The two team up against Itachi and Kisame using hand signals, teamwork, and coordinated jutsu to facilitate a tactical retreat, giving the latter a much tougher time of it. The battle still is a [[Advancing Boss of Doom|foregone conclusion]] against Sasuke and Naruto, but the fact that two 13 year old genin managed to push Kisame so far is nothing short of amazing.}}
Line 94 ⟶ 93:
** Sasuke subverts this during the {{spoiler|Main Branch Coup}}, essentially cementing his immunity to a [[Face Heel Turn]].
** The Oogakari tell them that {{spoiler|they will become sociopaths eventually to deal with the stress of the upcoming war.}}
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: A given, considering the fic's [[Reset Button]] attributes, but particularly important because {{spoiler|1=those who actually died or were on the verge of death were given one of Ghost's special chain links for each of those times. These chain links restore memories from the past/future. Naruto got FIVE.}}
* [[Back-to-Back Badasses]]: {{spoiler|Naruto, the rest of the Rookie 12, Haku, and Gaara's team during the Chunin Exam Invasion. They proceed to kick a LOT of Oto ass alongside their teachers and allies.}}
** Sasuke and Sakura invoke this when {{spoiler|protecting a civilian family while engaging three Oto Jonin and KABUTO.}}
Line 117 ⟶ 116:
*** Naruto's feels like countless overwhelming animals tearing at the air. Hinata's is like a lavender sun. Kakashi's is a white wolf with mismatched red and yellow eyes. Zabuza's is a demon's upper body. Hana's feels like countless beasts watching over the area. Anko's feels like a snake, occasionally flicking it's tongue. Haku's is the embodiment of "cold" itself.
** 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.
{{quote|''"Don't. Move. Don't. Blink. Don't even breathe. If you catch her attention now when she's pissed. Then. We. ARE. FUCKED!"''}}
* [[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 3OT3]] 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.}}
** Sasuke repays the favor during the {{spoiler|Hyuuga Coup Arc, defending Naruto after his status as the Kyubi's Jinchuriki is revealed and many of his friends begin to waver.}}
Line 133 ⟶ 132:
** Hinata also gets this treatment once {{spoiler|Ghost trains her alongside Naruto early on,}} primarily directed at the Hyuuga Main Branch.
** Haku, towards Zabuza, Ghost, and any of the antagonists she faces. {{spoiler|Tail of the Northern Dragon, indeed.}}
* [[Bi the Way]] / [[Casual Kink]]: "Woo, kinky sex time!"
** Hana, the Alpha-in-line, enjoys getting whipped like an Omega.
** Anko. [[Sex Is Violence|Bloodstained silk panties]] and [[But You Screw One Goat!|snakes "that one time."]] That is all.
Line 172 ⟶ 171:
** Sasuke calls out his [[Playing with Fire|Blaze]] [[Shock and Awe|Edge]] once or twice, but since then has been capable of activating it without prior warning.
** Lampshaded in the {{spoiler|Land of Snow arc}} when Naruto renames the movie upgrade to his Rasengan. Admittedly, it sounds '''much cooler.'''
** No longer an issue for Rock Lee. His [[Training Fromfrom Hell]] has made him so swift that he can deliver double-digit numbers of crippling blows to his opponents in the time it takes to let out a "Konoha Senpu." And this is BEFORE he opens any [[Deadly Upgrade|Celestial Gates.]]
** Subverted almost 100% by the Oogakari. Only Ghost calls a few attacks, because he created those [[Blow You Away|original]] [[Razor Wind|jutsu]] himself, most likely to give to Naruto.
* [[Can't Catch Up]]: Averted for almost everyone that suffered in canon.
Line 203 ⟶ 202:
** Even without her claw gauntlets, shadow powers, or elemental enhancements, her strength is implied to be on-par with Tsunade's, at the very least. [[Oh Crap|Tsume and Shikaku can both attest to this fact.]]
** Hinata invokes this by deviating from her clan's Gentle Fist style to unleash attacks of sheer, straight-on force. With her own personal modifications to her style brought about by {{spoiler|her study of the Rasengan}}, her own Gentle Fist isn't quite that gentle anymore.
*** Her first shown use of {{spoiler|Rasengan}} in Chapter 67 has her steamrolling through entire columns of Shabadaba's coup d'etat soldiers at a time.
* [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique]]/[[Deadly Upgrade]]: Subverted in that Naruto's Rasenshuriken and Kyubi chakra infusions have long since ceased to be significant threats to the boy's health, although in the latter's case, extreme circumstances have still caused significant backfiring. However, since said circumstances include {{spoiler|summoning several hundred chakra-infused exploding shadow clones against one of the Sannin and fighting Rock Lee nonstop with 5 Celestial Gates activated}}, he may as well have gotten off scot-free, seeing as the Kyubi's chakra damage [[Holy Shit Quotient|stacks on for every clone that Naruto makes.]]
** Played completely straight with {{spoiler|1=the author-original Maelstrom of the Wind God/Fujin no Naruto in Chapter 14. It requires 82 hand seals and mid-high Kage-level chakra reserves just to SURVIVE performing. The results are implied to be only a tad short of apocalyptic.}}
Line 236 ⟶ 235:
* [[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.
{{quote|Chapter 50: Oh dear god, I've made 50 of these chapters and I'm still nowhere near the time skip…}}
** Oh, and the fic updates about once every 1-21–2 weeks. Third Fang is a ''machine''.
** At Chapter 66 Third Fang has cleared over [[Beyond the Impossible|1,000,000 words]].
*** Look at it this way. Third Fang has put up roughly 1,200,000 words in a period of 900, that is 1300 words per day, everyday. this time figure does not remove the time taken up buy revisions or time spent other things like sleeping and eating.
* [[AbuseDouble IsStandard Okay When ItsAbuse (Female Onon Male)]]: Ghost seems to find getting the crap kicked out of him just as funny as whatever stunt he pulled to set it off in the first place. A reluctant [[Butt Monkey|Naruto]] also gets this when forced to peep for said pervert.
** Anko is also definitely privy to this when she tosses an underwear-covered Naruto into the female section of the baths for training. Three guesses what kind of underwear the poor kid was covered in.
** Sarutobi [[Kick the Dog|milks this to the brim by sending Naruto on a near-literal]] [[Suicide Mission]] into the heart of the Secret Jonin Kunoichi Hot Springs in order to {{spoiler|take a whole batch of dirty pictures to placate Onoki and entertain Roshi. Naruto avoids their bloody vengeance just long enough to hand off the camera.}}
** Naruto suffers refusals to rejuvenate him twice on the Moon Country mission, the first from Hinata after his impromptu "spar" with Sasuke, and the second by {{spoiler|Kushina}} when he overdoes it on the alcohol and comes within a hairsbreadth of stripping...with the Sexy Jutsu activated.
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Sai and Neji gets mistaken for this at Koyuki's new movie premiere much to the latter's dismay.
** Deidara, called out by a {{spoiler|[[Disgaea|PRINNY]] of all things. Hilarity ensued.}}
** Ghost pokes fun at the whole Hyuuga clan a few times for this.
** Subverted in that Haku, by popular request, is ACTUALLY a girl in this fic.
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: One of the main reasons why the Oogakari won't simply just step in and [[Kill Him Already|waste all of the antagonists.]] Of course, this in no way means that the antagonists have the slightest chance of winning outright.
** Ghost confronts Naruto with this outright after {{spoiler|the kid inadvertently allows Hinata to tail them to their training spot.}} Sufficiently chastised, the young shinobi has taken this trope firmly to heart. And he hasn't let anyone down since.
Line 252 ⟶ 255:
** Subverted when Kisame {{spoiler|rips through Naruto's earth walls despite an obvious type advantage and being set on fire by Sasuke's Napalm Flow.}} Also stresses how each Akatsuki is essentially an [[Advancing Boss of Doom]] at this point in time, no matter HOW skilled anyone in the Rookie 12 becomes.
** Used to an interesting and complex extent when Naruto, Hinata, and Hiashi discuss the role of elemental chakra in the Hyuuga's Gentle Fist style. {{spoiler|Hint-'''It won't work on Kisame.'''}}
* [[Elite Mooks]]: During the Chunin Exam Invasion arc, chun, special jounin, and even jounin became this in many, many cases versus the Allied forces, primarily to showcase the prowess of the Rookie 12 and others who [[Took a Level Inin Badass]].
* [[Evasive Fight Thread Episode]]: The one example being the Oogakari {{spoiler|facing off against their respective Curse Sealed opponents in the Chunin Exam Arena.}} Given, the outcome is never really in doubt, considering the actual power gap, but at least ONE of the outmatched warriors, {{spoiler|Longclaw}}, definitely survived that confrontation. The [[Fan Girl|one fighting Scabbard?]] Weeeeeell, not so much.
** Ch. 62 gave us a small summary of what happened from the survivor.
Line 258 ⟶ 261:
** Since then Naruto's gained {{spoiler|a [[Teen Genius|top-notch tactical mind]] only surpassed by Shikamaru, a far more expansive repertoire of ninjutsu and taijutsu, his [[Impossibly Cool Weapon|Fox Talons]], twin elemental affinities, and the gamebreaking [[Awesome Yet Practical|Seventh Sense]]}}
** Hinata's mistreatment at the hands of the Main Branch effectively did this to her, and Ghost has no qualms about sticking this fact in the clan's face. She's now up there with Naruto, Rock Lee, and Sasuke in terms of sheer [[Badass]].
** Heck, the Oogakari's [[Training Fromfrom Hell]] has been removing the rust from every possible nook and cranny for every single protagonist. Rock Lee and Tenten especially.
* [[Explaining Your Power to the Enemy]]: The Rookie 12 do a lot of this to each other during training and the Chunin Exams, but very little when facing actual antagonists. And if they do, it's invariably far too late.
** 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.
Line 264 ⟶ 267:
{{quote|"Now then… since I have sufficiently shown you how much your eyes matter to me… "}}
** {{spoiler|Han}} does this to {{spoiler|Neji}}.
==F-J==
* [[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.
** Sakura was caught at least once by Sasuke rummaging through his garbage pre-chainlink. He's still holding that over her head.
Line 273 ⟶ 277:
* [[Fastball Special]]: The arrival of the rest of the Oogakari in Konoha. Amusingly inverted upon Shadow at the same time.
** Much later, a grim and bloody Waltz chucked Naruto all the way from the Academy to the Hyuuga clan compound {{spoiler|in order to save Hinata and Hiashi from the escaped Main Branch prisoners.}}
* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: Kisame. This version is certainly more rude and his bloodlust is more obvious that the mainstream one, but he still maintains his normal good humor and geniality
* [[Field of Blades]]: Scabbard In three words {{spoiler|[[Fate/stay night|"Unlimited Blade Works"]]}}
** As of Chapter 67, it's not just blades anymore.
Line 294 ⟶ 298:
* [[Genius Ditz]]: Definitely Naruto, although the ditz component has been rapidly becoming deliberate and partially replaced by becoming [[The Chew Toy]] of the Oogakari.
** Played a bit straighter with Ino, particularly in the {{spoiler|Land of Spring}}.
** Played completely straight with Shadow.
* [[Gentle Giant]]: Waltz. Unless you hit his [[Berserk Button]].
* [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation]]: Scabbard's fangirl phobia. {{spoiler|Comes from studying their minds to find the source of their boundless energy.}}
* [[Gonk]]: Lee and Gai in-universe.
** Partially subverted in that it's only above the neck where they terrify and disturb everyone. Below the neck is [[Sculpted Physique|a whole 'nother story.]]
* [[Gorn]]: Is what happens when [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|you piss off]] [[Friend to All Children|Waltz]]. Or when the {{spoiler|Oogakari}} go through their yearly death thing.
** The undisputed result whenever {{spoiler|War Scars is executed on living beings.}}
** Or when you block off a Melody Arm. {{spoiler|Much worse, with a Melody ''Suit''.}}
Line 326 ⟶ 330:
* [[Henpecked Husband|Hen Pecked Boyfriend]]: {{spoiler|Naurto is officially Hinata's bitch.}}
** Aren't all males who are dating female ninja [[Henpecked Husband|Hen Pecked Boyfriends]]? I distinctly remember Neji musing on this.
* [[Heroic Self-Deprecation]]: Naruto's fully broken free of this trope, but Hinata, despite her latest [[Took a Level Inin Badass|accomplishments]] in her training, becomes weighed down by the thought that she can't protect all of her precious people effectively.
** Naruto, Shikamaru, and the Oogakari have essentially been setting about actively averting this trope to prepare for Madara and the Akatsuki.
* [[Heroic Sociopath]]: Zabuza, Crypt and Shadow, all the way.
Line 332 ⟶ 336:
* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: The {{spoiler|first Three Hokage}} invoke this upon Orochimaru when {{spoiler|Waltz frees Hashirama and Tobirama from the Sannin's Impure World Resurrection. They tear through all of Orochimaru's defenses, including his Eight Branches Technique and his final snakelike body}}, setting Hiruzen up for a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].
* [[Hour of Power]]: Averted by Naruto when he combines {{spoiler|Sage Mode and the Seventh Sense to gather nature energy while he's moving.}} Add in the fact that Ghost has trained him to abuse the potential of his shadow clones even more than canon, and you may as well throw all time limits completely out the window.
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: The Civilian part of Konoha's council, the former Hyuuga elders, and some civilians themselves.
** {{spoiler|Naruto touches on this in a much more comforting and optimistic tone while comforting a distraught Hinata at the Namikaze estates.}}
** The Kyuubi invokes this in a discussion with Minato, going so far as to compare mankind to the Jubi in destructive capability.
Line 341 ⟶ 345:
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.
* [[I Am Not Left-Handed]]: Any action involving the Oogakari runs on this. Hell, Ghost's everyday life actually runs on this, doubling as [[Training Fromfrom Hell]].
** Used often and to awesome effect to showcase a new capability gained by the Rookie 12. The Chunin Exam is chock-full of these.
** Naruto vs {{spoiler|Lee}} in the preliminaries is fueled by this. The other genin are suitably intimidated.
Line 369 ⟶ 373:
* [[It Got Worse]]: The main premise {{spoiler|of the swordsmanship tournament in the Land of Iron}} and the conflicts afterward.
* [[It's Personal]]: Sasuke has swiftly adopted this stance against {{spoiler|Madara after his fateful talk with Sarutobi}}. Conversely, it's implied that it's averted for the most part as far as Itachi's concerned.
==K-O==
* [[Karma Houdini]]: With the Oogakari here, this has been utterly and triumphantly subverted. The clan itself is certainly no exception. Even Shadow gets her fair share of pummeling.
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: So far the most notable person killed off is {{spoiler|Orochimaru.}}
Line 376 ⟶ 381:
** Scabbard plus a microphone equals this. Even on gear meant for tactical coordination.
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Neji can apparently use Gentle Fist to do this, at least to short-term memory.
* [[Law of Disproportionate Response]]: Each of the Rookie Twelve all have nervous breakdowns when something reminds them of their [[Training Fromfrom Hell]], particularly Naruto and Chouji.
** Ghost: {{spoiler|Chinese food and acid-spitting girls.}}
** Scabbard: {{spoiler|Fangirls}}
Line 383 ⟶ 388:
* [[Leaked Experience]]: Taken [[Up to Eleven]] by one of Ghost's first moments of absolute [[Fridge Brilliance]]. First off, if shadow clone dispelling is staggered, it significantly reduces the strain upon the individual at any one time. Second, the clones that are dispelled share all their experience with all of the remaining clones, which will inevitably be carried on en masse to the original. Add in the fact that only the clones furthest along in their assignments or showing the greatest amount of progress are dispelled, causing the rest of the clones to grasp the exercise extremely quickly.
** To sum up some matter, there is some dispute over the exact math of ''how much'' time this process really gives Naruto to train (over whether the process is additive, multiplicative, or exponential), but the end result is that Naruto's new method is clever and more efficient than canon thanks to making sure the experience of the clones who did best is spread out to the ones going down less efficient avenues.
*** Though the author doesn't take into account the fact that though staggering the clones' dispelling would reduce the strain of integrating all of those memories at once, it would only exacerbate how quickly mental fatigue would accumulate, reducing their mental efficacy considerably.
** Naruto's not the only one benefiting from this now: Both Sasuke and Hinata have taken up this training as well, though obviously not to the extent Naruto does.
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: Naruto has transformed from the trope namer to the personified subversion of this trope under the tutelage of the Oogakari.
Line 408 ⟶ 413:
** 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.
{{quote|"… I was wondering when he was gonna finally snap… but damn… you definitely get points for originality Scab.*click* Hm… March of the Wooden Soldiers… haven't seen that in a while…" -Ghost}}
Line 416 ⟶ 421:
** "[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/for_all_intents_and_purposes for all intensive purposes]"
** "[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/silhouette still houses]"
** "''[[wikipedia:Sh%C5%8DjiShōji|shouji]]''" instead of "''[[wikipedia:Sh%C5%8DgiShōgi|shougi]]''"
** "[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/rouge rouge]" instead of "[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/rogue rogue]"
** "[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/obscure obscure]" instead of "[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/obscene obscene]"
Line 444 ⟶ 449:
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Pretty much 95% of the Oogakari's titles. Particularly Ghost's
** Naruto's nickname, {{spoiler|The Feral Gale}} is definitely shaping up to be one of these.
** While not, yet mentioned directly in the fic, but in the fluff, {{spoiler|Ghost's name as The God of None}} is one name that Naruto knows, and is understandably afraid of it since it only involves something that would give the ''Ookagari'' pause.
* [[Needle in a Stack of Needles]]: Taken many steps further by Naruto in that his new capabilities make it more akin to a combination of [[Made of Explodium|Grenade In A Sea Of Grenades]], [[Blade Below the Shoulder]] and [[Flash Step]].
* [[Ninja Log]]: '''''[[Running Gag|WORSHIP IT!!!]]'''''
Line 456 ⟶ 461:
* [["No Respect" Guy]]: Zig-Zagged. Naruto doesn't get much respect. Of course, that's partially because he's deliberately chosen to walk the path of the [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]] and partially because he's become [[The Chew Toy]].
** After the Land of Snow arc, Naruto's {{spoiler|had high-ranking shinobi recognize him by his desired nickname and has been placed in a very significant spot of the Bingo Books.}}
* [[No Sell]]: Any attempt by an in-universe character at intimidation or flat-out physical harm towards an Oogakari will have only one outcome: complete and utter failure. That is, unless one of them thinks it would be funny.
** Ghost's fights are absolutely made of these, as it's virtually impossible to get remotely close to touching him.
** Scabbard is capable of countering anything through [[Awesomeness By Analysis]], {{spoiler|and if he's in direct contact with the ground, say bye-bye to whatever range advantage you had.}}
** Shadow can pull out every element in the book, knows her way around practically every approach to fighting, and possesses a Dragon Demon Goddess... Thing whose name could have put baby Biju fearfully to sleep at night. {{spoiler|Kimimaro can't even put a scratch on her while she's distracted by "teh fuzziez"}}
** Waltz takes on {{spoiler|the First and Second Hokage with relatively little effort and frees them from their enslavement to Orochimaru. A future-savvy Sakura nearly broke her arm trying to punch him. And Kimimaro, of all people, received the humbling experience of being on [[The Worf Effect|Worf's side of the effect]] when he tried to run the elder through with one of his bone swords.}}
* [[No Sense of Personal Space]]: "Ice cream people!"
** Ghost can give a massage by Seventh Sense. Also, his training of Anko.
Line 477:
** Dragon Demon Goddess... Thing.
* [[Overshadowed by Awesome]]: This entire fic is one massive aversion of this trope. Played straight in a subtler way in that the Oogakari are a significantly humbling presence to just about anyone living in Konoha.
==P-T==
* [[Person of Mass Destruction]]: The Oogakari might as well be called walking Nukes.
** Naruto has his Exploding Shadow Clones and Rasenshuriken, and that's without using the Kyuubi.
Line 498 ⟶ 499:
* [[Rank Up]]: {{spoiler|Almost everybody in the Rookie 12 gets promoted to Chunin in the exams. Only Lee, Neji, Kiba, and Ino failed to promote}}. Definitely helps that they fought like crazy and stacked up some pretty impressive kill counts during Orochimaru's Invasion.
** {{spoiler|Naruto, Shikamaru, and Hinata get a huge bonus in that they all have been set up to some degree by Tsunade to become Special Jonin soon}}.
* [[Redshirt Army]]: Partially averted compared to canon by Naruto and his shadow clones as the boy continues his epic chain of [[Took a Level Inin Badass|taking levels in Badass.]] And if they're getting the Redshirt treatment, they can always {{spoiler|give them the [[Made of Explodium|Itachi treatment.]]}}
** Unless {{spoiler|Lee gets drunk.}} Then it's played completely straight.
** They also go down in droves against really strong opponents like Orochimaru or {{spoiler|Hinata}}.
Line 505 ⟶ 506:
** Subverted in that Naruto's relationship with Sasuke is more like [[Not So Different|Purple Oni With A Slightly Redder Tint, Purple Oni With A Slightly Bluer Tint.]] The author's made the relationships among all of the in-universe characters a lot more dynamic than simple diametric opposition.
** Sasuke and Tenten could even be the Red and the Blue, respectively!
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: Practically everything the Oogakari clan does.
** 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:
Line 517 ⟶ 518:
** {{spoiler|Excellently and satisfyingly averted by Sasuke. Even more so when he asks Sarutobi what TRULY happened that night.}}
** From what we can tell with Waltz, played brutally and terrifyingly straight.
* [[Reverse Mole]]: {{spoiler|Itachi.}} If the conflict isn't slated to begin before their conversion, {{spoiler|Nagato and Konan}} as well.
** In a way, Ino too. {{spoiler|she doesn't know she's being used as a mole, and she's reverse in the sense that she's fed useless or circumstantial information so that Danzo and ROOT don't do anything rash}}
* [[The Rival]]: Naruto has two now, Sasuke and Hinata.
** Rock Lee is still a strong contender for becoming a third, plus his own rivalry with Neji is still alive and well, and a lot more competitive to boot!.
* [[Sadist Teacher|Sadistic Trainers]] [[Training Fromfrom 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.
{{quote|"*Sigh* Which one is it this time?"
Line 532 ⟶ 533:
** 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.
* [[Sealed Inside a Person -Shaped Can]]: Shadow's body is more like a person-shaped sieve than anything else.
* [[Secret Relationship]]: Naruto and Hinata.
** Heck, practically any relationship that springs up relating to the Rookie 12 for obvious reasons.
Line 545 ⟶ 546:
** Shadow also doesn't seem to have much restraint when her furry fetish is involved.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The Oogakari pretty much break the fourth wall and drop references no one in Konoha gets at will, such as Ghost laughing himself silly over Sasuke being a "natural Sith Lord."
** There are far too many to list completely, but [[Bleach]], [[One Piece]], [[Fate/stay night|Fate Stay/Night]], [[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]], [[Family Guy]], [[Fallout]] 3, [[Disgaea]], [[StarcraftStarCraft]] II, [[South Park]], [[Monty Python]], [[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]], [[Les Misérables]], [[Dragon Ball Abridged]], [[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]], [[Twister]], and Cuban Pete are just a brief sampling, and judging by the style of the author as well as the presence of Crypt and Ghost, that repertoire can only grow.
** Ghost's mind-melting massages are probably a [[Shout-Out]] to the [[Peggy Sue]] fic ''Chunin Exam Day.''
* [[Sinister Scythe]]: Crypt's eponymous Third Fang. See [[Vampiric Draining]] below.
Line 572 ⟶ 573:
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]].
* [[Sunglasses Atat Night]]: Ghost's [[Cool Shades]] {{spoiler|cover that his pupils are sewn shut.}}
* [[Super Reflexes]]: Ghost exemplifies this trope.
** Naruto, Hinata, Rock Lee, and Sasuke all have this in spades, even more so than the rest of the Rookie 12.
Line 592 ⟶ 593:
** This is particularly evident in any of Naruto's big fights with {{spoiler|Lee, Hinata, or Sasuke.}}
** On the other hand, with Ghost, EVERYTHING he does is a free action, particularly taunting.
** Despite the enemy doing whatever the hell they can, Scabbard does plenty of talking, and there's not a [[NoWon't SellWork On Me|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.
{{quote|"Eccentric?" Yugito asked curiously with a raised eyebrow. "Surely a single clan can't be that bad."
Line 602 ⟶ 603:
** #3- Taki, Suna, and even some visiting Kumo shinobi during the Chunin Exam Invasion are used to help fight Oto. Also, {{spoiler|giving Itachi a chainlink}} could count depending on what he does.
** #7- Naruto's has become quite good at fooling enemies about where their attention should lie with clones, transformations, and substitutions.
** #8- Shikamaru doesn't even need a hole in the ground for Temari as a backdoor while distracting her with his more obvious reach -- justreach—just good placement of the sun and the shadow of the arena wall.
** #11- Subverted. Naruto will not make short-term sacrifices for the greater goal, not where people's lives are involved. Rock Lee considers this during the {{spoiler|Koyuki Coup Arc}}, but Naruto hardly gives it a second thought.
** #12- Scabbard's M.O. is this, a combination of flexible planning and extreme opportunism.
Line 638 ⟶ 639:
* [[Toilet Humor]]: Ghost's Chinese food "allergy."
* [[Too Powerful to Live]]: Seems to be the reason behind the relapses of the Oogakari. Played with in that they're all basically immortal.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Every single member of the Konoha 12 gets trained by the clan. Some turn out ''very'' impressive.
** Hana and Anko also get an impressive boost in power -- Hanapower—Hana especially.
** Both Tenten and Rock Lee {{spoiler|have this performed quite literally on their bodies by Scabbard and Crypt, respectively. Tenten now has the potential to summon and properly wield practically any weapon in existence to devastating effect. Rock Lee's physical capabilities have skyrocketed. He can now shrug off performing the Primary Lotus, and there's a chance that he could pull off all eight celestial gates '''without dying'''.}}
** On the other hand, that extra level seems to mostly elude Kurenai, Kiba, and Ino, much like in canon.
** It's been heavily and repeatedly emphasized that the only thing holding back the true potential of the Konoha 12 is their age and relative immaturity of their bodies, particularly Naruto. When the author's timeskip fic comes into being, prepare for multiple Badass-Level-Gainings on the order of magnitudes. FOR EACH CHARACTER.*
* [[Took a Level In Kindness]]: Sasuke. Many, many times.
** Neji after {{spoiler|an intense sparring match with Hinata escalates and the heiress comes out on top}}.
Line 652 ⟶ 653:
* [[Trickster Mentor]]: Ghost has turned {{spoiler|[[Panty Thief|panties-jacking]]}} into a training exercise for {{spoiler|Anko, while they were actually ON HER BODY,}} with predictably violent results.
* [[Tropes Are Not Bad]]: Some prominent aspects of the fic could be the hallmark of a terrible wish-fulfillment fic, such as [[God Mode Sue|uber-powerful OCs familiar with the plot of the story]] [[Fix Fic|running around causing trouble]], but Third Fang shows that with enough insanity, comedy, and creativity even normally poisonous fic concepts can be made awesome.
* [[Troubled Fetal Position]]: Common reaction to traumatic memories. (e.g of [[Training Fromfrom Hell]].)
** Ghost plus female acidic [[Breath Weapon]] users equals this.
** Scabbard plus {{spoiler|fangirls}} equals this.
Line 660 ⟶ 661:
** Even Naruto's '''shadow clones''' find this amusing.
* [[Twin Threesome Fantasy]]: Ghost has a brief [[Imagine Spot]] of this early on with regards to the Hyuuga.
==U-Z==
* [[Unnecessarily Large Interior]]: The Oogakari's underground training area, purposefully taken from [[Bleach]]. Unlike for Urahara, though, subverted in that, given [[Training Fromfrom Hell|what happens there]] [[Physical God|on a usual basis]], it's often VERY necessary.
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Not too many have been displayed thus far, but the few times it happens more than make up for quantity with quality.
** Naruto uniquely combines his [[Unstoppable Rage]] with [[Tranquil Fury]] during his {{spoiler|his fight with Dotou. He gets so pissed-off enough about getting cold and wet that he swats away Black Dragon Blizzards with his BARE HANDS}}.
Line 673 ⟶ 675:
** Naruto and Princess Koyuki.
** [[Dysfunctional Family|The Oogakari]], to levels that Naruto and Sasuke could not even [[Beyond the Impossible|DREAM.]]
*** Caution. Crossfire may include sexually active Chimera.
* [[Warrior Therapist]]: Any of the Oogakari can definitely count as this. Particularly Ghost.
* [[We Are as Mayflies]]: Subverted with the Oogakari, particularly Ghost
Line 696 ⟶ 698:
** And naturally the popular meme that the stronger a ninja is the more eccentric they are shows up.
** Shikamaru bluntly tells Chouji to ask Ino out before she becomes a Special Jonin because of the former's uncanny level of [[Genre Savvy]].
** The Third also [[Lampshadeslampshade]]s the trope with respect to <s>political power</s> <s>paperwork</s> '''both''' by saying that he has ANBU set up to record Naruto's reactions for the first 6 months in office when the hat is finally passed to him.
* [[NoWon't SellWork On Me]]: Any attempt by an in-universe character at intimidation or flat-out physical harm towards an Oogakari will have only one outcome: complete and utter failure. That is, unless one of them thinks it would be funny.
** Ghost's fights are absolutely made of these, as it's virtually impossible to get remotely close to touching him.
** Scabbard is capable of countering anything through [[Awesomeness By Analysis]], {{spoiler|and if he's in direct contact with the ground, say bye-bye to whatever range advantage you had.}}
** Shadow can pull out every element in the book, knows her way around practically every approach to fighting, and possesses a Dragon Demon Goddess... Thing whose name could have put baby Biju fearfully to sleep at night. {{spoiler|Kimimaro can't even put a scratch on her while she's distracted by "teh fuzziez"}}
** Waltz takes on {{spoiler|the First and Second Hokage with relatively little effort and frees them from their enslavement to Orochimaru. A future-savvy Sakura nearly broke her arm trying to punch him. And Kimimaro, of all people, received the humbling experience of being on [[The Worf Effect|Worf's side of the effect]] when he tried to run the elder through with one of his bone swords.}}
* [[The Worf Barrage]]: The only techniques shown or implied to NOT be this against a select Oogakari are Haku's Tail of the Northern Dragon, Naruto's Rasenshuriken, and Lee's Celestial Gates.
* [[Year Inside, Hour Outside]]: Exploited by Kakashi when {{spoiler|he takes advantage of his own Mangekyou when Itachi hits him with Tsukuyomi, using the extra time to converse with the Uchiha prodigy and set up the first defection within the Akatsuki.}}
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Scabbard Oogakari has green hair.
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Averted after {{spoiler|members of the Akatsuki, FOUR of them, no less,}} report failure to {{spoiler|Nagato and Konan.}} They get off with a reprimand and new assignments, although {{spoiler|the leader of the Akatsuki}} was understandably shocked and angered by implied details in {{spoiler|Kakuzu's}} message.
* [[You Monster!]]: A very common reaction from any enemy facing down an Oogakari.
** Crypt enthusiastically agrees with this opinion, much to [[Hannibal Lecture|Hinata's discomfort]].
