History Manga / NarutoGaiden

* CloningBlues: Shin Sr. is the original with a special DNA structure that Orochimaru picked up for his experiments and all the Shin Jrs. are clones of him.

* MadeOfIron: Naruto has always been this, but it's taken to an absolutely [[{{UpToEleven}} ludicrous]] level here. Naruto and Sasuke both react to Shin manipulating Sasuke's sword to impale Naruto straight through with what amounts to ''shrugs and mild annoyance.'' The worst anyone has to say about it is Kurama being annoyed that Naruto's senses have dulled enough that he let it happen at all.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Sasuke when he realises he almost struck his own daughter with his sword think she was another of Shin’s clones.]]

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone?: [[spoiler:Sasuke when he realises he almost struck his own daughter with his sword think she was another of Shin’s clones.]]

* AffablyEvil: Orochimaru chats politely with Sasuke and Naruto, like they're old friends visiting for tea. It may have something to do with the fact that those two are the [[WorldsStrongestMan strongest]] [[PersonOfMassDestruction people]] alive and he's ''really'' not trying to piss them off.

* AmbiguousGender: Orochimaru's current host's gender is ambiguous due to its youthful appearance and the fact that he's neatly combed his bangs and tied his hair into a ponytail.

* TheAssimilator: Shin's body makeup allows him to take anything into himself without fear of rejection. He also expressed interest in taking Sasuke's eyes for his own.

* DeliberatelyDistressedDamsel: Sakura doesn't fight back after she's kidnapped by Shin Uchiha Sr. Instead, she watches him perform transplant surgery on himself, all the while discussing with him his motives. Turns out, information wa all she wanted: as soon as she got everything, she prepares to punch her way out of this.
* DisappearedDad: Sasuke has not been present in Sarada's life at all, leaving when she was a baby.
* DontMakeMeDestroyYou: Naruto's warning to Shin Jr., accentuated by Kurama's withering DeathGlare. The kids take the hint and back down, looking ready to faint from fear.

** Orochimaru is not allowed to roam free, it being stated twice he is not allowed to leave his base.

* EnemyMine: The reason Orochimaru agrees to help Naruto and Sasuke track down his former student and test subject, Shin Uchiha.
* EveryoneHasStandards: When Sarada shares with Suigetsu her suspicions that Karin is her real mother instead of Sakura, he freaks out and exclaims that Sasuke would be a complete scumbag if that were true. Although, after some thought, he doesn't rule out the possibility that Karin put the moves on Sasuke. Then, he helps Sarada find out the truth.

* HandicappedBadass: Sasuke may not have gotten a prosthetic arm like Naruto did, but he's still more than capable of kicking ass.

* HiddenHeartOfGold: Sasuke puts on a {{Jerkass}} front, just like he did before the timeskip. When his daughter (who he'd never even met) asks why he was never around, he simply tells her that it's none of her business. The facts that he's on a top secret mission and that Sarada was targeted the moment she left Konoha do give him some credit, however.

* KarmaHoudini: Orochimaru is still free and lounging about in his hideout, doing what he wants. Supposedly he's under permanent house arrest and isn't allowed to leave his hideout, but considering he's still got tons of experiments going on and at least one running loose, this doesn't seem like it's that big of a hindrance to him.

* LovingAShadow: Despite alleging to be deeply and truly in love with Sasuke, Sakura knows basically nothing about him, and is unable to answer even basic questions about him when Sarada asks about him, such as ''whether he wore glasses when he was young''. Even Kishimoto admitted he didn't explore their relationship in-depth because he found all the reasons he could think of for [[StrangledByTheRedString why Sakura was in love with Sasuke to be too contrived]].

* MoralDissonance: [[AntiHero Sasuke]] could be excused, but [[BigGood Naruto]] doesn't seem to be affected by Orochimaru being alive not to mention that he seems to be using a younger body as host now, the same despicable act that [[BigGood The Third Hokage]] showed nothing but disgust and revolt back in the beginning of the series.

* OrphanageOfLove: Kabuto is shown to have followed in his foster mother's footsteps, despite still retraining traces of his time as Orochimaru's successor.

** Sasuke left Konoha to investigate a potential threat before his daughter, Sarada Uchiha was born. He's never even met her.

* SmugSuper: Shin is so confident and arrogant in his abilities that he attacks Sasuke and Naruto head-on with only one of his clones. His cunning, pragmatism and cruelty almost allowed him to win against the two when he surprised them with his telekinetic eye powers and the fact that he kept targeting Sarada.

* TraumaCongaLine: In short order, Sarada begins doubting Sakura is her real mother, finds evidence that is the case, but no-one will talk to her about it. She goes looking for her father, whom she's never met, and is attacked by a strange boy with a Sharingan. When she finally meets her father, he nearly kills her thinking she's an enemy and then coldly dismisses her questions. She then watches Sakura get abducted by the bad guys, then finds evidence that she's not even her real birth mother. When Naruto suggests they go save her mother, Sarada rounds on him with her Sharingan activated and snaps that Sakura isn't her mother and she has no reason to care about people who lied to her whole life. However, Naruto manages to calm her down and keep her from following in her father's footsteps. [[spoiler:In the end, she learns that Sakura was her real mother after all, recovers, forms a better bond with her family, and becomes a happier person.]]

** Sasuke couldn't use his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan - Tomoe Rinnegan during his first clash with Shin Sr. because he was low on chakra form travelling between dimensions. He recovers soon enough, however, and pays back Shin with interest.

** He targets Sarada with his [[FlyingWeapon flying daggers]] the moment Naruto's Tailed Beast Mode shielding her starts fading.

** Despite being injured and betrayed by his clones, he still tries to kidnap Sarada and Chocho with his teleporting creature. Thankfully Sarada saw an end to that.

* BreakoutCharacter: Sarada can be considered this, due to being the first likable Uchiha character since Shisui to be created and having a well-rounded personality. Even her family issues are more sympathetic than Boruto; Boruto complains about his dad never being around him enough, despite Naruto's efforts to the contrary, whereas Sasuke has straight up been absent for nearly all of Sarada's life.

* JerkassFacade: Sasuke, just like he did before the timeskip. When his daughter (who he'd never even met) asks why he was never around, he simply tells her that it's none of her business. The facts that he's on a top secret mission and that Sarada was targeted the moment she left Konoha do give him some credit, however.

* BrokenAesop: The manga presents the message that genes don't matter and that the bonds constructed by people through social interactions is what determines who they are.[[spoiler: The last few pages, reveal that Sakura was Sarada's biological mother all along, thus defeating the point. It's possible that this message applies more to Shin's clones and their relationship with their "father", or that real message was about the "Will of Fire" of the Hidden Leaf Village.]]

* ClonesArePeopleToo: Explained by ''Orochimaru'' of all people, he remarks that unlike Naruto's shadow clones, each Shin clone is a human being with a mind and personality of his own, because of this at then all of them are sent to Kabuto's orphanage to be raised by him.
