[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11698245/1/The-Unchained The Unchained]] is a ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' - ''Manga/OnePiece'' crossover that is according to the author an attempt to avoid the post-canon overpowered juvenile pitfalls that befall many stories in these universes.

Far from a Gary-Stu power fantasy, Naruto and Sasuke appear slightly weaker but more well-rounded than in canon. They work as a team to accomplish their goals, and seem to slot neatly into the power-scale in the crew of the Going Merry. They just have to convince certain crew-members that there's nothing wrong with inviting a couple of (essentially) bounty-hunters onto a ship filled with expensive bounties.

* BashBrothers: Naruto and Sasuke have been friends for a long time before the real story starts. Notably absent is the canon Face-Heel Turn that Sasuke took, which means the two are actually friends and not just rivals. Their fighting styles have evolved to reflect this.

* {{Affably Evil}}: Tobi is a really friendly and likable guy when he's not killing you.

* {{Bash Brothers}}: Naruto and Sasuke have been friends for a long time before the real story starts. Notably absent is the canon Face-Heel Turn that Sasuke took, which means the two are actually friends and not just rivals. Their fighting styles have evolved to reflect this.

* {{Dark Lord On Life Support}}: Madara is an ancient, decrepit husk, only kept alive by the Gedo statue.

* {{Dropped A Bridge On Him}}: An elderly and decrepit Madara is killed by Gold Roger cutting his life support in the first chapter. Also, the story can't truly start until [[spoiler: The Third Hokage is killed by a sleeper agent.]]

* {{Food Slap}}: Naruto attempts to punish a mystery diner (Luffy) for stealing his ramen. Luffy retaliates by shooting him in the face with a high-pressure noodle beam. He doesn't avoid getting it in his mouth.

* {{Hannibal Lecture}}: Lampshaded by the chapter title. Sasuke has Danzou at his mercy, but lacking canon Sasuke's depth of hatred he just can't quite make the interrogation stick.

* {{I Fell For Hours}}: Tobi tosses Hidan off of Sky Island, which is 10 kilometers up in the air, with only vague directions about what to do when he hits the ground.

* {{No Sense of Direction}}: Zoro and Luffy still have warped and twisted senses of direction. When Sasuke is conducting surveillance on Zoro, his attempts to cut Zoro off at the pass fail repeatedly because the man can't path properly. At least, until Sasuke gives up, at which point Zoro runs into him and asks him for directions.

* {{The Reason You Suck Speech}}: Danzou's response to Sasuke's failed torture and interrogation.

* {{Tempting Fate}}: There seem to be a lot of jinxes here.

Madara dies in Chapter 1, Itachi dies fighting against Root in Chapter 2, Naruto and Sasuke become friends as young children in Chapter 3. Despite all of this, things don't go all that better in the long run. Part One of the story takes place on the Elemental Kingdoms, and Part Two takes place at sea in the much stranger Grand Line as Naruto and Sasuke pursue Akatsuki with the only ship available. The Elemental Kingdoms have been opened from a thousand years of isolation, and no one is quite sure what that means for the world at large.

* {{Bash Brothers}}: Naruto and Sasuke have been friends for a long time before the story proper starts. Notably absent is the canon Face Heel Turn that Sasuke took, which means the two are actually friends and not just rivals. Their fighting styles have evolved to reflect this.

* {{Hannibal Lecture}}: Lampshaded by the chapter Title. Sasuke has Danzou at his mercy, but lacking canon Sasuke's depth of hatred he just can't quite make the interrogation stick.
