* AddictiveMagic: Cursed Seals act like this; they give you power, but the more you use them the more you ''want'' to use them, and the more they corrupt you.
Added DiffLines:
* FreudianExcuse:
** Souta Uzumaki was desperate to erase his predecessor Hajime's legacy to the point of [[spoiler: massacring Hajime's branch families and creating the Jinchuuriki Seals]] because Hajime traumatized Souta by killing his father in front of him when he was a kid as part of a coup.
** Part of the reason Ino is so determined to marry Sasuke that she sabotages her own friendship with Sakura is because, as a female clan heir, her uncles are constantly on the lookout for some excuse to disinherit her. Marrying Sasuke would allow her to leave the line of succession gracefully and still help her clan, thus easing the social pressure on both her and her father.

* IgnoredEpiphany: In an omake, Ino ''almost'' realizes why Sasuke would be disinterested in marrying her (doing so would essentially make the Uchihas a branch of the Yamanakas since all future Uchiha would be descended from Ino), but fails to make the connection that Sasuke would be worried about the same politics that she was (needing to marry down so their spouse couldn't usurp their family name and social influence) and that Sasuke wouldn't want an ArrangedMarriage that would be almost solely to the benefit of his wife's clan.

* SecretArt: A big deal is made of these for clans, since keeping their tools of the trade secret is vitally important for both the clan's health and their usefulness. ''Lacking'' these is a notable disadvantage for any aspiring ninja, with Naruto and Sakura being big examples. It's also PlayedForLaughs, with Naruto getting frustrated every time a conversation with his friends about their training and such gets immediately stonewalled by "clan secret" as an excuse. Shino, in particular, had many of his early interactions with Naruto defined by this, and the normally stoic boy appears to [[NotSoAboveItAll take some amusement]] messing with Naruto this way.

* RhetoricalQuestionBlunder: When Jiraiya summons a toad and pays them for their services, Naruto expresses surprise that they take coin. The toad in question, offended, asks the following:
--> '''Toad:''' "Well of course we take coin. What do I look like, some kind of animal?"
--> ''{{Beat}}, Naruto stares at them incredulously''
--> '''Toad:''' "Don't answer that." ''-disappears into smoke-''

**Four canon match-ups are likely to happen in the TournamentArc: Naruto and Neji, Sasuke and Gaara, Temari and Shikamaru and Ino and Sakura.
Added DiffLines:
* WakeUpCall: Asuma invokes this towards his team -or, more specifically, towards Shikamaru and Choji. The two of them have great potential as ninjas, but have issues that hold them back, much to Asuma and Ino's frustration - their laziness and cowardice, respectively. He puts Team 10 in the Chunin Exams hoping that the intensity of the event will help them start growing out of these mindsets and give their all to become ninja.

* CurbStompCushion: Sasuke is this in his duel against Lee. Although he fairs considerably better than in canon, and even manages to put him through the wringer a few times, he still is in heavy disadvantage without his Sharingan and, in a meta level, the playerbase knew he [[IAmNotLeftHanded still was holding back]] --which, in-character, becomes evident when he releases his weights and uses the Gates against [[spoiler: Haku.]]

* ForbiddenDangerousTechnique: Unleashing the power of a Tailed Beast. They are some of the strongest beings in the setting, sure, but they are also unmistakably evil. If the Nine-Tails is any sign, giving them any space will only end badly for the jinchuuriki and the people around him.

Added another fight from the exams
Changed line(s) 31 (click to see context) from:
** A lot in the Chunin Exams, mainly the battles between named characters and mooks. Of note, however, we have Kiba against Zaku, where the latter only manages to connect one single blow -admittedly one that stopped Kiba's Fang Over Fang, but still -before being mauled near to death. Meanwhile Dosu faces [[TheDreaded Gaara]], who managed to figure out how to null sound ninjutsu thanks to the aforementioned fight, and swiftly dispatches the Sound Nin with a Sand Coffin that instantly kills him.

Lastly there's Naruto's fight against Kin, which ended up being the shortest fight in the bracket with the latter getting her arms crippled by the former's shuriken barrage before she could get an attack off, causing her to surrender almost immediately.
