History Characters / FirstTrySeries

** Although Naruto isn't a conventional example of TheAce, anyway - he developed into one after a lucky early graduation and recieving a proper instructor who developed his skills.

* [[ArmorPiercingSlap Armor Piercing Attack]]: When Konohamaru tried to attack his grandfather, Naruto nearly ''killed'' him (due to his PTSD making him overprotective and irrational), and had to be stopped and reassured by the Hokage.

* KleptomaniacHero: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] in that his kleptomania is treated like a real disorder. [[StickyFingers No one trusts him to not steal their stuff]], and Naruto even packs all his furniture and in his apartment into scrolls, leaving just his plants behind for watering. [[UpToEleven And then Naruto has someone else water his plants because he's afraid Satoshi would steal them and sell them.]]

* FiveManBand: In ''Team Tetsuo''.
** TheHero - Naruto
** TheLancer - Sasuke
** TheSmartGuy - Tetsuo
** TheBigGuy - Kakashi
** TheChick - Sakura

* FiveManBand:
** TheHero - Tetsuo Shimura
** TheLancer - Naruto Uzumaki
** TheSmartGuy - Satoshi Kamiya
** TheBigGirl[=/=]TheHeart - Suzume Kamizuki
** SixthRanger - Hiro Kurosaki

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Has aqua hair.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Is Tetsuo's "aqua-haired love of his life" (which happens to be the same colour as her cousin, Satoshi's).

* PaperTiger: Sakura and Sasuke are viewed as this in both ''Team 7'' and ''Team Tetsuo''. Tetsuo points out that Sakura's test scores inflated her overall scores when she did terribly in ninjustu and taijutsu. Sasuke is uncooperative, antisocial and focused on power. They both need therapy. Tetsuo thinks the Academy must of had a bad batch that year. [[spoiler:It's worse than that. ''Much'' worse.]]

** SmartGuy - Satoshi Kamiya

* PeepingTom: An example not played for laughs, his behavior ends up disturbing the women.

* CharacterExaggeration / Flanderization: Sasuke was not as psychotically self centered before he went off the deep end as the version used in the First Try series.

* NewMeat: Sakura especially fits this, being a gifted Academy student but having no actual skill and ignorance of the ninja world

* FieryRedhead

* LadyOfWar

* FriendlyEnemy

* OriginalCharacter

* ColdBloodedTorture: Mai tortures an enemy ninja for information [[spoiler:while Sasuke [[HarmfulToMinors is made to watch]].]]
* HappilyMarried

* OppositesAttract
* {{Original Character}}s

** TheMcCoy - Naruto [[spoiler:and Hiro, briefly]]

* TrueCompanions

* BreakTheCutie
* BrokenAce: A highly respected and competent ninja, but suffered from PTSD. He slowly is overcoming it due to receiving therapy and his good relationships with his [[TrueCompanions friends]].

* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Tetsuo turns Naruto's pranking skills into a [[TrapMaster trapping speciality]].

* JackOfAllStats: Trapping specialty aside, most of his abilities are high but balanced, unlike [[CripplingOverspecialisation Sasuke]]. While he can't beat the latter in a taijutsu bout even after 2 years out in the field, in a real (read: all the abilities at his disposal) fight he'd pummel him.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Invoked in ''Team 7:Divergance'' after [[spoiler: all the Sannin die, Orochimaru and Tsunade by Jiraiya's hand and Jiraiya by his own]]. The new Hokage Hiashi Hyuuga and Danzo know with [[spoiler: the Sannin dead]], Konoha is at risk because the Sannin were deterrents and now their enemies think Konoha is weak. With the ninja force and civilivian forces already in shambles from the invasion, they are. So Hiashi and Danzo decide to exploit Naruto's reputation as TheAce and [[spoiler: mold him to become the second Yellow Flash]]

* DreamTeam: In FT:TT, Tetsuo thought that when he got Sakura and Sasuke, he got a dream team with his prized student, the Rookie of the Year and Top Kunoichi. He thought that they wouldn't hold Naruto back and a couple months of nonstop training would get them to Suna Chunin Exams. Then he actually met them. [[PaperTiger The reality couldn't be more different]].

* FreudianTrio: Averted - Kakashi tries to equate Team 7 to ''his'' old Team 7, but it doesn't work. Naruto is not [[TheMcCoy The Obito]], being the best and most level-headed Genin in the group and also hating his new teammates too much to joke or have crushes on them. Sasuke isn't the best this time, plus he's too hotheaded and self-obsessed to be [[TheSpock The Kakashi]]. Sakura is too incompetent of a kunoichi and too judgemental to be [[TheKirk The Rin]].

* RedOniBlueOni: [[{{Irony}} Naruto is the Blue Oni to Sasuke's Red]].

* StealthInsult: Says his motto - "''Those who break the rules are trash. Those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash.''" - directly after Sakura and Sasuke fail to figure out the teamwork portion of the Bell Test and Naruto delibrately offers no assistance. Which [[LampshadeHanging Naruto notes shows exactly what he thinks of them]].

* MuggingTheMonster: She decided to run out of Konoha the Shimura family, with no idea it's [[MagnificentBastard Danzo]]'s family. Or that Danzo isn't a crippled drunkard but the second most powerful man in Konoha. [[OhCrap When she finds out she's properly terrified]].
