Yet Again/YMMV

"Tenten: "Heheheh… um… oops?""
 * Crazy Awesome: Do you have to ask?
 * Beyond the Oogakari, Naruto has started to seriously embody this trope in later chapters.
 * For the Academy students, Naruto was undoubtedly the most Crazy Awesome instructor they ever had, and he was less than two years its graduate.
 * You could essentially categorize Naruto as a Crazy Awesome Badass Army Of One Taken Up To Eleventy Until Timeskip.
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: At least a handful per chapter! See the crowning page for examples.

""Only you, dobe... only you... thanks..."
 * Crossover: Mostly in the powers of the Oogakari clan, but Scabbard is training Tenten in a trick or two...
 * Also:
 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: In addition to the many warm and fuzzy FUZZEH Naruto and Hinata moments...
 * Naruto arriving home to see
 * Earlier, Naruto couldn't help tearing up when all of his friends threw together an unforgettable birthday bash during the Kyubi festival.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MINION NUMBER Q"

""All hail that who sacrifices itself on our behalf for all time. The selfless deity of the forest. All hail the log." The three chanted in a brainwashed fashion.
 * Sakura thinks Sasuke's guilty face is DEFINITELY this mixed with a bit of Moe, so much that she begins planning her next few near-death experiences in advance just to see it again.
 * Any of Waltz's encounters with Hanabi.
 * Implied to be this when post-chainlink Shikamaru is reunited with post-chainlink Asuma. They took a page out of Gai and Lee's book. That's right.
 * Cult: The Running Gag of Konoha's respect for the Ninja Log just gets creepier and funnier over time.

"You three are very fortunate that I am well practiced in forgetting concerning moments like these." Waltz sweatdropped."

""You evil little bastard!""
 * Kakashi... well... yeah. YEAH.

YMMV, but the author's managed to fit Haku into the feminine role pretty damn well. ""The squealing… the costumes… no more lace… please keep the cat ears away…""
 * Draco in Leather Pants: Zabuza comes off as a bit noble when the reason for the massacre of his entire class and his later treason are explained. This makes it all the easier to root for Zabuza when he
 * Even more so when he ruefully regards the unconscious and remembers his late friend.
 * Fanon: The "clans made up of the Rookie 9's families" and "lunatic civilian" village councils, abusive mobs & jerk shopkeepers, Naruto kicked out of an orphanage, Iwa as Minato's unnamed enemies that would kill Naruto, and kinky/crazy Anko all have a part to play. So does the whole dobe/teme thing, "the Rookie 12," Lee & Gai's sunset "genjutsu," Yugito's cattish ways, Itachi's love of Pocky, and everyone but Naruto knowing that Hinata liked him.
 * Also, the role of elemental chakra manipulation and the use of a different "cover story" element involved in the Hyuuga's Gentle Fist style.
 * Tsunade's assault rate. And her recent reinforcement of her office walls to avoid repair costs.
 * Jiraya's rate of getting caught peeping.
 * At every five minutes someone is pointing out how weird Gai and Lee's Big Ol' Eyebrows are.
 * Iwa's Bloodthirsty grudge on anything that is even suspected to be related Minato. Averted with Onoki though.
 * In one example stemming from the audience, a poll had Haku revealed as a girl. Apparently, she was actually lying about her gender to try and distance herself from Naruto the first time around.
 * Fridge Brilliance: One of the two most shining bits of awesome in this fic (the other being the madcap humor) is the author's incredibly inventive use of existing Naruto techniques and concepts to give the canon characters incredible powerups that will probably be borrowed by many fanfics from here on out. Examples include:
 * Hinata learning the Rasengan and applying its steps to new Gentle Fist moves.
 * Chouji's combination of bouncing, Jiraiya's needle hair, and a simple impact shockwave technique.
 * Which also turns him into Sonic the Hedgehog.
 * Shino training with Gai to be effective at all ranges.
 * Lee learning silent killing techniques since they don't require chakra.
 * Hana combining elemental composition with Inuzuka clan techniques.
 * Both Lee and Gai introducing rest days into their training schedule to allow their muscles to recover and strengthen to their fullest.
 * Sakura's usage of multi-layer Genjutsu on her opponents and herself, which can even the playing field against even someone of the Sanin's caliber.
 * Staggered dispelling of shadow clones during training, allowing for far greater rates of Level Grinding as well as significantly less feedback.
 * Zabuza's weapons upgrade, which make his water techniques accessible in any situation and which allow him to fight on par with Kisame.
 * Using the Seventh Sense as an anchor for Nature energy,.
 * Shadow's perspective on the nature of Creation and Shikamaru's shadow powers, which lead him to
 * Combining the Seventh Sense and the Replacement technique with Naruto's endless supply of shadow clones to invent a reincarnation of Hiraishin.
 * Shadow using an air horn to screw up Tayuya's control over her summons via her flute.
 * Any of Naruto's teaching methods during his stint as assistant instructor at the Academy.
 * Substituting an then-hospitalized Sakura with Haku for the Princess Koyuki Arc. The results are suitably epic.
 * The key to never requiring a bra, on and off the field, is chakra control. Tsunade has the Super Strength to prove it.
 * Naruto's nickname "Minion Number Q". When you think about it, "Q" sounds just like "Kyuu", which means nine. With that in mind Naruto's nickname amounts to "Minion Number Nine", the boldened words being his codename among the Jinchuuriki.
 * In the
 * Narm: Sasuke calling Naruto a dobe (dead last) all the time tends to kill serious moments.
 * Arguably makes her even more intimidating when she wreaks her sweet, sweet revenge upon Ghost.
 * Tenten's last name, Higurashi. Her father handles the equipment distribution within Konoha and has been involved rather directly with Scabbard's plans and business ventures.
 * Zabuza butchering his class in Kiri because they were beating up on Yagura. Also, their nickname for the Sanbi, "Shelly."
 * Yugito has her common cat-like behavior and dislike of dogs.
 * Fetish: Naruto will get fox ears and a fuzzy tail whether he wants them or not, thanks to Shadow. Hinata approves.
 * Fridge Logic: Since EVERYONE seems to know about Hinata's crush on Naruto. Why did the villagers confront Naruto at the finals on Hinata's behalf?
 * Stupid people maybe? When it comes to stuff like this, stupid people is actually a viable answer.
 * Common Fanon logic, but WHAT THE FUCK was Hiruzen doing when Naruto was attacked all those times.
 * God Mode Sue: The Oogakari all have cooler-than-thou names like "ghost" and "crypt" and get to upstage everyone, at everything, constantly. At least during the first few dozen chapters they are not ever caught off-guard, or pushed into a corner, or at a loss. Their abilities are nothing like anything seen in the original series and the konoha-nin cannot even begin to understand them, let alone counter them. Their first order of business when landing in Konoha is bringing the Third Hokage, one of the most powerful ninjas to ever live, to the verge of helpless tears. According to the Author's Notes, the reason the Oogakari do not just go ahead and Curb Stomp all the bad guys is 1. For the Lulz and 2. Because if they did that, there would be no plot.
 * Moe: Scabbard hates it. Beyond all reason, now that we finally see Scabbard's breakdown in Chapter 61.


 * Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped: Ghost makes sure before taunting Orochimaru as a boy-loving pedophile that he's not actually gay, because he doesn't feel comfortable about taunting a man for being gay who actually is gay (ignoring the age issue for a moment). Once Orochimaru declares that he has no interest in sex at all, then Ghost feels free to rip on him.
 * May come off as an Author's Saving Throw since he'd already been mocking him behind his back about it.
 * Tear Jerker: Teuchi's tale of how he met Naruto tugs at the heartstrings to the point of cardiac tearing. If viewed from the point of an unbiased citizen going about their life, such a situation could be no less than heartbreaking.
 * Villain Decay: Happens quite drastically, given the nature of the fic. Orochimaru and Danzo are two obvious examples.
 * Subverted in that the Akatsuki both are still regarded as a serious threat and some of them will soon be siding with (or most likely under) the Oogakari.
 * The Woobie: Hanabi. Admit it. Her struggles and tears over trying to make friends are just ADORABLE.
 * The Woobie: Hanabi. Admit it. Her struggles and tears over trying to make friends are just ADORABLE.
