A desperate move by Kakashi sends the rookies into another dimension, revealing a world crisis for both the Justice League and the Teen Titans.

Essentially runs off the premise that Kakashi's MS technique Kamui sends things to the DC universe. This gets out of hand when he accidentally sends the Konoha 11 plus Team Hebi to the DC world. The Justice League has to keep their rowdy visitors in line while trying to figure out a way to send them home. Spectre and a god-powered Luthor are also involved...

** [[spoiler: The sword dents the bracers. Both characters are flabbergasted, for different reasons.]]
** Superman vs a Rasenshuriken. That is all.

* YouNoTakeCandle: The mysterious passerby who hands a destitute [[spoiler: Sasuke]] a twenty dollar bill speaks this way.
** This character is a cameo by [[HeyItsThatGuy Pete]] from TheMuppetsTakeManhattan, who delivers the exact same lines in this way.

* BroughtDownToNormal: The Spectre [[spoiler: strips Sasuke of his chakra]] and dumps him in Gotham City. [[WretchedHive It goes]] [[HumiliationConga about as well]] [[BreakTheHaughty as you'd expect]].

* ShoutOut: If you look closely during Ino's psychic breakdown, you'll notice several characters with their own connections to the [[VideoGame/Psychonauts mind]]...

** The Spectre tries to do this with [[spoiler: Kyuubi and Trigon]] to stop but the latter basically laughs in his face and the former only agrees after it's pointed out that [[spoiler: Luthor could BodySurf Naruto and take control of him]]

** Superman vs a RasenShuriken. That is all.

* ChildSoldiers: When first meeting Neji, Green Lantern is disturbed by how much of a professional soldier the seventeen year old is. Especially when he mentions that he started at age twelve.

* ForWantOfANail: A chapter with Karin as the viewpoint character reveals that in this version of the Naruto story, Sasuke didn't abandon Juugo and Suigetsu during the attack on the Kages, which in turn lead to Taka taking down Danzo and leaving the area before Sakura could reach them. It's never suggested to be the case, but this ''may'' have been what eventually led to the Kakashi led mission to take down Sasuke, and in turn the events of the story.

* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: This is largely what [[spoiler: Norman [=McCay=]]] dies of. May also be considered TooCoolToLive.
