''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5218118/1/Yet_again_with_a_little_extra_help Yet again with a little extra help]'' is a ''[[Naruto]]'' fanfic written by author Third Fang.
 
Set in a [[Alternate Universe]] where Akatsuki wins (among other things), a Traveler from a different Universe pushes the [[Reset Button]] on the whole thing, allowing Naruto and select others to start things over. [[Tropes Are Not Bad|From that rather uninspired beginning]] a world of insanity and [[Crazy Awesome]] begins to emerge.

{{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 117:
*** 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:
** 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 203:
** 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 242:
** 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 273:
* [[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:
* [[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 From 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 383:
* [[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:
** 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 444:
* [[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 505:
** 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:
** {{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.
Line 642:
** 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 673:
** 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
