* FireForgedFriends: Naruto and Edward. After their run in with Kisame and Itachi they are [[AFriendInNeed quick to come to the others defense]], despite not knowing each other very well. [[FriendlessBackground Naruto]] in particular has become very attached.

* DiplomaticImpunity: Tsunade tries to invoke this by declaring Edward an ambassador of Amestris. In doing so, she hoped to grant him amnesty and to protect him from harassment by her political rivals. [[spoiler: It doesn't work. They just go behind her back and brand him with a Caged Bird Seal.]]

* [[spoiler: ThereIsAnother The "Al Doll" would indicate such. However, exactly who sent it is a mystery, and while Ed initially takes this as a sign that his brother is alive and searching for him, his conversation with the shinigami has led him to believe otherwise. The question of whether it is intended as a message or as a trap has yet to be answered.]]

* InsistentTerminology: Music Ninja

* TheInspectorIsComing: The Daimyo's envoy had been invited to the village to assure the Daimyo that Konaha is secure and can still fulfill Fire nation's military duties after Orochimaru's invasion. During the envoy's stay Edward breaks out of the interrogation department and sinks the building. Instead of admitting that they have an prisoner with unknown destructive potential on the lose, they say that [[IMeantToDoThat the T&I department was intentionally moved underground for "security reasons"]] and quietly issue a notice for "a short, one-armed shoplifter who [is] wanted for questioning." The envoy doesn't entirely buy it.

* HoneyTrap: Except not really. Anko is more of a {{Troll}} than she is a MataHari but she seems to be thoroughly enjoying herself.

[[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Edward Elric]] somehow got teleported into {{Naruto}} -verse and tries to cope with it, with not very good results. The fic starts in Search For Tsunade arc, and almost RIGHT during the encounter with Naruto and two Akatsuki members; Itachi and Kisame. After that, Edward promptly get arrested and sent to the Interrogation Department.....HilarityEnsues.

VERY hilarious and in few occasions, [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome mind-blowingly awesome]].

I'll let the [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4052439/1/The_Truth_Decays fic itself]] [[ShowDontTell do the talk.]]

!!Tropes Associated with Truth Decays:

* ForWantOfANail. Ed's presence in the Naruto world has so far prevented Sasuke from being MindRaped by Itachi and from choosing to join Orochimaru. This will presumably have a huge impact on the timeline.
** [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking He also taught Naruto not to wave around his cash filled wallet, thus preventing Naruto from handing it all to Jiraiya during a festival.]]

* TheSpook: Edward himself. (From Konoha's perspective anyways.) [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere No one knows what he is, where he is from, or what he is capable of.]] It doesn't help that Konoha is feeling very vulnerable and is still unorganized and undermanned after Orochimaru's invasion.
* SurvivorGuilt: Apparently the Promised Day didn't go quite as smoothly as it did [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist in conon]] and Ed is strongly implied to be suffering survivor's guilt as a result. This is probably the cause of Ed's [[UpToEleven increased]] ChronicHeroSyndrome tendencies. Several people have remarked on Ed's behavior and [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation speculated]] that [[SuicideByCop he wants]] [[DeathSeeker to die.]]

-->'''Anko:''' ''Officially, I can't interrogate him, but [Tsunade] didn't ban personal contact," Anko said. "And if something interesting should slip out in a moment of passion…''
-->'''Kakashi:''' I think there might be a flaw in your plan,''

-->"Officially, I can't interrogate him, but [Tsunade] didn't ban personal contact," Anko said. "And if something interesting should slip out in a moment of passion…"
-->"I think there might be a flaw in your plan," Kakashi said.
-->"What?"
-->"He hates you."
-->She grinned at him, showing off all her teeth. "That just makes it more fun."

* Ino (with some [[StopHelpingMe "help" from Naruto]]) also tries to charm Edward for information to pass on to Sasuke. She hasn't improved from when she tried to seduce Neji during the Chunin exams and the whole thing becomes awkward very quickly.
