History Fanfic / FriendshipContract

* AnticlimaxBoss: [[spoiler: Tayuya, for Shikamaru and Tenten.]] A few seconds of teamwork does wonders.

** Sasuke bemoans his horrid-looking hand-wings, wishing he'd grown some awesome black-feathered wings, [[FinalFantasyVII or maybe just one]] [[LampshadeHanging even if it wouldn't be capable of doing anything useful]].

* WaveMotionGun: combined with SphereOfDestruction in the Sonic Rainboom Rasengan

** [[DragonAge "Swooping is... bad."]]

** Naruto covered Sasuke in glitter and stole his shirt, making him look like [[Literature/{{Twilight}} a vampire]].

** After Sasuke gave her a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, Sakura took it to heart and has trained herself to be an incredible ninja unlike most kunoichi of the ninja world.

* AreYouPonderingWhatImPondering: Naruto asks Pinkie Pie this, calling her “Pinkie”, in a ShoutOut to WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain. [[DragonBallZAbridged “I think so Naruto, but how would a button even produce warm blueberry muffins on demand?”]]

** Sakura REALLY doesn’t like the nonsense that is the ‘reality breaking armor’.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Everyone fears an angry Fluttershy…

* BorrowedCatchphrase: People keep borrowing Shikamaru’s favorite catch phrases. He finds it quite annoying.
* BrickJoke: Early in the story Kiba commented that he can’t wait until he can drink hard liquors. Over a dozen chapters later he’s trying to convince Anko to give him some of her hard apple cider.

** Cake batter in the cannon: it’s tradition.

** Discord jokingly says ‘believe it’ when Naruto doesn’t trust him.

* CoolAirship: The ''Ixion'', a craft built by the Cutie Mark Crusaders and outfitted with several powerful weapons. It takes a ''lot'' of chakra for Naruto to summon it.
* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Commented on. Sakura grumbles that she needs to ‘learn to use the gates or something’ because she’s the only character without such a technique.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Lampshaded. Upon Sasuke’s comment that the Mangekyo Sharingan makes whoever uses it go blind, Naruto comments that [[ADateWithRosiePalms “I've heard that one before about doing other naughty stuff.”]]
* DumbassNoMore: With Twilight Sparkle as his tutor, there was no way Naruto would stay as a BookDumb character.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: A character in chapter 16 thinks in wonderment at a ‘real life Uzumaki’ being at the exam. [[spoiler: It’s Karin, his cousin.]]

* LampshadeHanging: A lot of it in general, but a shining example is found in the comment on the trope NewPowersAsThePlotDemands with the [[spoiler: development of chakra usage in the ponies.]] Twilight comments that “It’s not like we're just suddenly developing new powers to keep up with the plot of some bad novel”, as they’ve been working on it ever since the beginning of the story.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The narration comments that Kakashi came in ‘from his off-screen battle’ to give the Snow princess the [[{{Macguffin}} real crystal necklace]].
** Sasuke and Rainbow Dash have a short discussion on how if they stick around each other too much longer their “fan clubs would join forces. Akatsuki would run in fear.”

** This Sasuke seems to have just as much of a problem with the logs from the replacement technique as [[NarutoTheAbridgedSeries another Sasuke]].

** Kakashi decides to take a page out of Naruto’s book and suggests a competition of [[NarutoTheAbridgedComedySpoofSeriesShow summoning narwhals]] to his Snow Country opponent.
* NecessaryEvil: Discord points out his purpose as this, ensuring that Utopian societies don’t decay and ensuring the status quo doesn’t remain constant.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Subverted. Sakura accidentally breaks [[spoiler: the gate keeping evil at bay in Equestria]], but she’s reassured that there are back-ups.

* TheNondescript: Naruto’s use of yin chakra makes the Shining Armor technique turn him into this, preventing anyone from noticing his presence even if he tries to draw their attention to him. [[spoiler: Unless they can see chakra.]]
* NoodleIncident: Las Pegasus. They mention a few things, such as losing Sakura for 6 hours and Lee winning a champion belt, but don’t quite mention how these things happened or much of anything else besides it being good blackmail material for all of them.

* OhCrap: [[spoiler: A certain spirit of chaos seems to have made his way to the Elemental Nations for unknown reasons, save for wanting to watch Naruto’s efforts to become Hokage.]]

* RedShirtArmy: Lampshaded by Naruto with the army of mooks in Snow Country. A minor twist as it’s the heroic side that has the army.

** The party cannon full of cake batter, as it’s tradition.

** Sasuke bemoans his horrid-looking hand-wings, wishing he’d grown some awesome black-feathered wings, [[FinalFantasyVII or maybe just one]] [[LampshadeHanging even if it wouldn't be capable of doing anything useful]].
** [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Hydro Cannon! It’s not very effective…]]

* StopHelpingMe: Naruto and Sasuke’s efforts to help Sakura out [[spoiler: during their battle with Deidara and Sasori]] causes numerous disasters which nearly get Sakura pin-cushioned by wind and fire chakra-laced shuriken. She even says the trope almost word for word.

** Who would’ve thought ponies would’ve made such great ninja tutors?

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Watching Naruto get tossed through buildings and assaulted by Tsunade isn't nearly as interesting as Twilight Sparkle’s discussion on pony ninjas, apparently. The ponies are, in general, becoming this in Konoha thanks to Naruto’s efforts.

* FunWithAcronyms: The Modular Earth-pony Chakra Hardened Assault Puppet, or MECHA Puppet. Alternate name of Chakra Hardened Ultra Can Kicker.

* MasterOfIllusion: Of the pony ninjas, [[spoiler: Rarity]] is the illusion expert. In over a year of her ambushing Naruto with them, he never realized he was in a Genjutsu in under 15 minutes.

** The CMCs suggested Naruto catch a [[HarryPotter Cerberus and name it Fluffy, as well as keeping it in one of the corridors of the Ninja Academy]].

** [[{{Batman}} na na na na na na na na]] [[TheFairlyOddparents CATMAN!]]

This ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''/''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' FanFic contains examples of:

* TookALevelInJerkass: Kurenai and Ten Ten both seem to be a lot crueler than their canon counterparts.

** [[PiratesOfTheCaribbean “Why is the cider/rum gone?”]]

* NotSoDifferent: The view a MLP: FiM character takes with himself and Naruto.

* [[WaveMotionGun Sonic Rainboom]] [[SphereOfDestruction Rasengan]]

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Watching Naruto get tossed through buildings and assaulted by Tsunade isn't nearly as interesting as Twilight Sparkle’s discussion on pony ninjas, apparently. The ponies are, in general, becoming this in Konoha thanks to Naruto’s efforts.

* AreYouPonderingWhatImPondering: Naruto asks Pinkie Pie this, calling her “Pinkie”, in a ShoutOut to WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain. “I think so Naruto, but how would a button even produce warm blueberry muffins on demand?”

* HandicappedBadass: [[spoiler:Master Patch]], strongest of the [[spoiler:Diamond Dogs and Sakura's trainer during her training trip in Equestria]] is blind [[spoiler:and wields very [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Earthbender-like]] abilities]]. stated by the author as an {{homage}} to [[spoiler:Toph]].

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Constantly lampshaded by Twilight Sparkle and, to a lesser extent, Naruto and Sasuke on some of the ninja techniques, such as where in the world the [[NinjaLog logs]] keep coming from with the replacement technique.
** Sakura REALLY doesn’t like the nonsense that is the ‘reality breaking armor’

* BoringButPractical: Using storage scrolls to transport an entire feast for a party.

* ContinuityNod: Cake batter in the cannon: it's tradition.

* ForWantOfANail: Besides the differences Naruto's upbringing under the Ponies makes (for instance, his contract with them precludes him from getting one with the toads), the Chuunin Exams alone see Karin make a HeelFaceTurn, Sakura defeat Ino instead of drawing with her, Hinata not lose as badly and actually deal a blow to Neji that leaves him barely able to stand, Rock Lee come out of his loss to Gaara without serious injury (thanks to Sweetie Belle talking Gaara down), and the Third Hokage survive his fight against Orochimaru thanks to Luna.
** With Naruto forcing Sasuke to not withdraw into himself and keeping him from witnessing Itachi's Tsukiyomi and murder of their parents, Sasuke is almost a completely different person. Upon hearing that Itachi came to Konoha dressed in a black cloak with red clouds, he immediately left…to grab Sakura, since the black cloaks with red clouds indicate that Naruto is in danger from Itachi.

* InSpiteOfANail: Even with all of the other changes that happen, Team 7 still gets stuck guarding Tazuna and escorting him back to the Land of Waves.

* LampshadeHanging: A lot of it in general, but a shining example is found in the comment on the trope NewPowersAsThePlotDemands with the [[spoiler: development of chakra usage in the ponies.]] Twilight comments that “It's not like we're just suddenly developing new powers to keep up with the plot of some bad novel.”, as they've been working on it ever since the beginning of the story.

* TookALevelInBadass: Who would've thought ponies would've made such great ninja tutors?

* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: Naruto manages to do this [[spoiler: to a minority of the changling cause who then decide to try living as normal ponies]].

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Watching Naruto get tossed through buildings and assaulted by Tsunade isn’t nearly as interesting as Twilight Sparkle’s discussion on pony ninjas, apparently. The ponies are, in general, becoming this in Konoha thanks to Naruto’s efforts.

* ShoutOut: [[spoiler:Naruto's cloud jutsu that allows him to create a small cloud [[DragonBall upon which he can fly]], which he trades to Sarutobi's ape summoning for a blank summoning scroll.]]
** There was also the time when Naruto covered Sasuke in glitter and stole his shirt, making him look like [[Literature/{{Twilight}} a vampire]].

** After [[spoiler: barely avoiding getting caught by Deidara's suicide explosion]], a disoriented Sasuke questions whether or not the [[AvatarTheLastAirbender resulting mushroom cloud is friendly]].

** Pinkie Pie sings a song about [[MemeticMutation being on a boat]].

** Fluttershy, of all ponies, gives a good one to [[spoiler: Tsunade]], even [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome pinning her down with The Stare while delivering it!]]

* CrazyAwesome: Pinkie Pie, extra on the crazy. Enough for [[spoiler: Ukon, one of the twin Sound Five and the one who tries to kill Pinkie Pie from the inside]] to run away in terror at her insanity.

* MemeticMutation: The fanfic is FULL of them.
** A beast of a man stepped out onto the top of the train, and pulled a megaphone and appeared to be gloating, shouting down at the camp about rather inane things like 'All your base are belong to us', or 'you have no chance to survive.'

** [[GirlGenius "For Science!"]]

** The CMCs suggested Naruto catch a [[HarryPotter Cerberus and name it Fluffy]].
