This or these examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.

At the end of Chapter 12, Arcane Azmadi announced a gaiden fic to accompany this one called ''Naruto: ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12905426/1/Naruto-Melody-of-the-Shinobi Naruto: Melody of the Shinobi,'' Shinobi]]'' begins, filling in events that would take place during the TimeSkip between Chapters 12 and 13. The first chapter has not yet been released.

to:

* YouShallNotPass: Naruto declares this to [[spoiler:Orochimaru]] to cover the escape of [[spoiler:Sakura, Hinata, Hanabi and Temari]].Temari]].

!!''Naruto: Melody of the Shinobi'' provides examples of:
* BadassGrandpa: [[spoiler:Naruto's aged shamisen tutor is actually a powerful Oto jounin trying to live out his retirement, but he's just as deadly with his sonic techniques as always was. As an added bonus, he turns out to actually be Tayuya's grandfather.]]
* BaitAndSwitch: A trio of Sound-nin attack during one of Naruto's shamisen lessons. [[spoiler:They don't even know who Naruto is, and are actually there to capture his teacher, a formerly retired Sound jounin who deserted the village when Orochimaru took over and tried to "un-retire" him.]]
* BreatherEpisode: Pretty much the entire fic serves as one of these (or several of them) to the more-serious ''Naruto: the Secret Songs of the Ninja.''
* DefectorFromDecadence: [[spoiler:Otoshiki Koushino deserted Oto because of his contempt for Orochimaru when he took over and tried to turn his sonic techniques to more malevolent purposes.]]
* {{Filler}}: Subverted; the fic is designed to cover a variety of one-off, usually more light-hearted events that took place during the timeskip in the middle of ''Secret Songs of the Ninja'' and aren't quite significant enough to have chapters dedicated to them in the main story, but these events are fully canon and can actually provide CharacterDevelopment as well as affect the relationships between the characters. Arcane Azmadi has stated that reading the fic will be ''helpful'' to fill in some details for the rest of ''Secret Songs'', but not ''essential.''
* FleetingPassionateHobbies: Subverted; Naruto takes up the shamisen as a hobby simply by deciding one day "Hey, I'm gonna learn to play the shamisen!" because he walked past an instrument store after seeing a kabuki performance, but despite how spontaneously he decides on it, he sticks with it, because giving up would be like admitting defeat.
* GrumpyOldMan: Koushakuji Tokikawa, Naruto's extremely strict shamisen tutor.
* JerkAss: Koushakuji Tokikawa, who is strict and brusque with Naruto to the point of rudeness, treating him with thinly-veiled contempt.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He admits at the end that Naruto has promise because he works so hard, and is going to make a good musician [[spoiler:and ninja]].
* MusicalAssassin: [[spoiler:Koushakuji Tokikawa, Naruto's shamisen instructor, is actually Otoshiki Koushino, a powerful (retired) Sound ninja who can use his shamisen to unleash devastating sonic attacks capable of ripping his opponents to shreds.]]
* ResignationsNotAccepted: [[spoiler:Otoshiki Koushino, an aged Sound jounin, was already retired when Orochimaru took over Oto, but Orochimaru wanted to turn his sonic techniques to his own purposes, so he abandoned the village and now constantly has Sound-nin after him.]]
