History FanFic / DeadGarden

* WritersCannotDoMath: Mizuki is an old friend and teammate of Takeru, but this makes little sense given their ages. Takeru and Amaya were in the same graduating class as Minato & Kushina, meaning they would've been in their mid- to late-20's at the time the Kyuubi attacked, putting Takeru in his late 30s at the youngest (it's unlikely he graduated at a considerably younger age than Minato or Kushina). Mizuki meanwhile is somewhere in his 20s in the present, and his being Iruka's old friend as well in-universe means he ''couldn't'' have graduated before the Kyuubi attack. The only explanation which completely fits is that they became teammates in ''Dead Garden'' only after Amaya's death, which appears to contradict some statements made by WordOfGod.

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7173680/1/Dead_Garden Dead Garden]]'' is a ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' ForWantOfANail fic written by our own Tropers/{{Anowack}}, who also wrote ''One Hundred Days'' and its sequel ''One Hundred Weeks''.

* BerserkButton: Sakura's is threatening or hurting her loved ones - Kushina is often on the recieving end of the DeathGlare ([[ItsAllMyFault not that she tries to defend herself]]), and [[spoiler:the Cloud Team]] made a big mistake in hurting her teammates.

* BrokenBird: Sakura.
** Kushina as well - while she's still Konoha's most prominent sealing master, she's also a crippled single mother who can no longer fight for her village and on top of that, she's wrought with guilt over leading her friend Amaya to her death and for burdening Amaya's husband and daughter with the Kyuubi.

* CombatMedic: Naruto, and of course [[EvilAllAlong Kabuto]].

* DeathByAdaptation:
** [[spoiler:Misumi Tsurugi]] in Chapter 1 is a Type II (if you consider anime {{Filler}} canon), as is [[spoiler:Hidan]].
** [[spoiler:One of the Haimaru triplets]] in Chapter 8.
* {{Determinator}}: Sakura finally gets to display this in the battle against [[spoiler:Hidan]].

* GeniusCripple: Kushina.

* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Kasumi.

* WritersCannotDoMath: While Anowack is good at keeping details consistent, there is ''one'' jarring example of this in-story: specifically, Mizuki's being Takeru's old friend and teammate. While interesting in context, makes no sense in regards to the ages of the characters; Takeru and Amaya were in the same graduating class as Minato & Kushina , meaning they would've been in their mid- to late-20's at the time the Kyuubi attacked, putting Takeru in his late 30s at the youngest (it's unlikely he graduated at a considerably younger age than Minato or Kushina).

* DropTheHammer: Kasumi's weapon of choice.
** It's broken by Sakura later.

* PapaWolf: Haruno Takeru threatens to ''kill'' Kakashi if he "allows" Sakura to have an "accident" while she's under his supervision, regardless of the fact that Kakashi is a famous jounin and he's just a career genin.
** OverprotectiveDad: Unfortunately he tends to be a bit ''too'' protective of her, ordering her to have nothing to do with the one of the only people who actually wanted to be friends with her (Naruto), resulting in her being alone and friendless during her time at the academy.

* DivideAndConquer: [[spoiler:Tetsu]]'s distraction of Kakashi was meant to ensure [[spoiler:his genin team]] would defeat Team 7 [[spoiler:so they can steal their coveted bloodlines, or at least Sasuke's Sharingan.]] It would have worked, were it not for [[spoiler: [[{{Determinator}} Sakura's]] [[SpannerInTheWorks jinchuuriki abilities]].]]

* ZeroApprovalGambit: Kakashi improvises a short-term one to unify Team 7 by [[spoiler:ordering Naruto and Sasuke to kill Sakura after she attempts to quit as a ninja. Instead they both fight him to protect Sakura.]]

* BloodyMurder: [[spoiler:Hidan]] possessed this kind of power before gainin the [[spoiler:immortality powers of Jashin]] he has in canon.

** Kushina as well - while she's still Konoha's prominent sealing master, she's also a crippled single mother who can no longer fight for her village and on top of that, she;s wrought with guilt over leading her friend Amaya to her death and for burdening Amaya's husband and daughter with the Kyuubi.

* KnightTemplarBigBrother: [[spoiler:Or rather, ''Sister'': Yugito Nii, Hikaru's elder sister, is positively ''livid'' with Tetsu for getting her brother critically injured and comatose in a failed, unsanctioned and blatantly ''stupid'' attempt to get Team 7's bloodlines - she promises his punishment will not be merciful in the least. What this will mean for Sakura - the one who injured Hikaru while defending her ''own'' TrueCompanions - remains to be seen.]]

* ManipulativeBastard: Kabuto.

* NiceGuy: '''Naruto'''. Sakura is also shown to be quite kind-hearted, albeit very [[BrokenBird broken]] as well.

* YouShouldHaveDiedInstead: Takeru never forgave Kushina for living when Amaya died. However, in a subversion, after it happened he insisted that she ''had'' to live - both so she wouldn't take the easy way out, ''and'' because he didn't want Naruto to grow up without a mother as well.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Kabuto takes this a step further by acting the part of a friend towards both Sakura and her father, even going with Takeru on the Wave Country mission.
