* ForWantOfANail: The nail being the Sannin couple raising Naruto and being around Konoha as he grows up. Among the events changed are as follows:
** Jiraiya manages to solve the Hyuga affair, saving Hizashi from having to sacrifice himself and warning Kumo not to try and pull something like this again.
** Shizune notices Hinata watching Naruto as he plays and facilitates a friendship between the two. Because of this, Hinata is a good deal more confident than her canon counterpart and never loses her role as heiress for the Hyuga clan.
** Upon learning that the Kazekage’s son is a jinchuriki, Jiraiya visits Suna as an ambassador and offers to perform a seal on Gaara so he can control his tailed beast better. This also results in Naruto befriending the Sand Siblings earlier than in canon, and Gaara not growing to be AxCrazy.
** When Itachi and Shisui’s attempts to defuse the tensions with the Uchiha Clan fail, [[spoiler:they pull off their coup and attack Konoha. Among the victims are Hiashi Hyuga and Inoichi Yamanaka, and Hiruzen Sarutobi is injured to the point he can’t continue as Hokage, [[YouAreInCommandNow passing on the title to Jiraiya]]. Furthermore, Orochimaru and Obito use the chaos during the attack to steal a pair of Sharingan eyes for himself and to take Shisui's Sharingan from Danzo respectively. Because of this, Danzo is forced to take]] [[spoiler:Fugaku's instead]].
** The above leads to the standards in the academy to be increased for the graduates, so the genin become more proficient to face future threats.
** Also related to the above, [[spoiler:Shisui asks Nekobaa to move to Konoha after the coup so the remaining Uchiha will have people sympathetic to them. Her granddaughter ends up attending the Academey as one of Naruto's classmates rather than being a civilian like in canon.]]
** Similarly, because [[spoiler:Orochimaru gains the Sharingan from the Uchiha coup]], Sasuke isn't given a Curse Mark of Heaven.
** Due to Tsunade living in the village instead of WalkingTheEarth [[spoiler:Karin and her mother choose to settle there instead of Kusagakure, feeling that they would be better treated where there are other members of the Uzumaki clan. Karin, like Tamaki, also ends up as one of Naruto's classmates as a result.]]
** In regards to the members of Akatsuki:
*** Since Itachi never joins, Orochimaru remains a member up to the present time, though he still continues to pursue his own agenda. [[spoiler:He eventually defects from them at the end of Chapter 80]].
*** Kisame is partnered with Deidara during the Kirigakure War Arc, [[InSpiteOfANail though the latter is paired with Sasori by the start of Part II]].
*** [[spoiler:Obito]] is a fully-fledged member from the start, as opposed to [[spoiler:pretending to be]] just a lackey at first, and he's not hiding behind [[spoiler: Madara's]] name, with Pain fully aware of his identity.
*** After Sasori's death, his replacement is none other than [[spoiler:Toneri Otsutsuki.]]
** Several of the genin teams are reorganized differently from canon:
*** Naruto, Hinata and [[spoiler:Haku]] under Kurenai.
*** Kiba, Shino and Tamaki under Kakashi.
*** Sasuke, Sakura and [[spoiler:Karin]] under Shizune. And since Sasuke isn't Kakashi's student, he never learns the Chidori.
** [[spoiler:Mizuki successfully steals the Scroll of Seals]] and delivers it to Orochimaru.
** Since Naruto has parents this time around, the relationships he had in canon with Iruka (whom he saw a big brother) and the Third Hokage (whom he saw as a surrogate grandfather) aren't as deep or meaningful. His relationship with Iruka doesn't go beyond the standard teacher-student, and has no relationship with the Third Hokage at all.
** The Land of Waves mission is handled by [[spoiler: Zabuza]] instead of Naruto's team. As a result, Tazuna names his bridge after him.
** During the Chunin exams arc:
*** The first stage, instead of a written test, has the Genin teams go around the village chasing a group of ninjas. The goal is to capture one of them and remove the scroll they have in their person within three hours. They have to avoid causing property damage, endangering civilians and using lethal force, and once a team gets a scroll, they automatically pass. Fighting other teams or trying to steal a scroll is not allowed.
*** The second stage takes place in a ship graveyard instead of the Forest of Death. The scroll retrieved from the previous stage is a map they have to use to find a treasure chest to pass to the final stage. Unlike the previous stage, fighting other teams, even with lethal force, is allowed. Once the chest has been retrieved, they have to take it to the steel freighter in the middle of the lake within three days, and the entire team has to get there safely.
*** Since Rasa never sides with Orochimaru and A is also attends the finals, Orochimaru is forced to push back his invasion plans by several weeks.
** Hiruzen doesn’t take away Orochimaru’s use of arms during the Sound Invasion.
** In the final arc of Part I, the battles against the Sound Five get re-arranged:
*** Shikamaru is the first who stays behind to distract Jirobo, [[InSpiteOfANail though Choji shortly after goes back to help him as well.]]
*** Neji tries to stay back to fight Kidomaru, but Tamaki and Shino take him on instead.
*** Ino and Sakura fight together against Sakon and Ukon.
*** Kiba tracks down Tayuya using his sense of smell, and Neji comes later to assist him.
*** The group that reaches Kimimaro ends up with Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata, Lee, Tenten, [[spoiler:Haku and Karin]]. They find him arguing with [[spoiler:Mizuki]], so the latter three stay behind to fight Kimimaro while the the rest goes after [[spoiler:Mizuki]]. Later, [[spoiler:Zabuza]] shows up to fight Kimimaro himself so they can continue and help the others.
** Since Itachi is still around to act as his moral compass [[spoiler:and he has the full context on why his clan was wiped out]] Sasuke doesn’t pull a FaceHeelTurn and remains a loyal Konoha shinobi.
** Between Parts I and II, while the Kirigakure Civil War is ongoing, Mei Terumi comes to Konoha to ask for assistance in overthrowing the current regime, and Jiraiya accepts to form an alliance with them once they succeed.
** Since Rasa is still alive, Gaara doesn't become Kazekage during the time-skip. Also, Chiyo doesn't get involved in the rescue mission, with Suna sending Maki, Matsuri, Yukata and Mikoshi for backup.
** With Sasuke still loyal to Konoha by Part II, the Sasuke and Sai arc doesn't happen, being replaced by the [[spoiler:Byakugan Princess]] arc. Same applies later for the Search for Itachi arc.
** The Kakuzu and Hidan arc takes place mostly in Takigakure [[AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs after they take control of it]], while Fu makes it to Konoha to ask for help in retaking the village.
** The clash between Naruto and Pain happens in different circumstances to canon, namely that they fight alongside their respective allies (Hinata and [[spoiler:Haku]] for Naruto, and Konan for Pain), and the jinchuriki Pain is after is Utakata instead of Naruto himself. [[spoiler:The end result is [[TheBadGuyWins also a victory for Pain]] since he manages to slip away with Utakata.]]
** Danzo's treachery against Konoha is exposed while he's still alive, and Jiraiya leads a raid to Root's headquarters to take him out once and for all.
** Jiraiya doesn’t infiltrate Ame in order to learn more about the Akatsuki’s leader, instead sending Itachi to carry it out.
** Instead of letting Konan take Nagato’s body as is for burial, Jiraiya takes the Rinnegan out of it first, then allows her to take it.
** Instead of going back to Ame to guard Nagato’s body, Konan takes a more active role in fighting against the Akatsuki after defecting in the form of [[spoiler:training Tsunade in using the Rinnegan]].
** Danzo doesn’t become the Rokudaime Candidate as a result of [[spoiler:him being branded as a criminal]] before the Akatsuki Invasion. The fact that the Godaime Hokage survives the Invasion in one piece and didn’t fall into a coma also prevents this.
** Tsunade doesn’t fall into a coma during the Akatsuki Invasion.
** From Itachi's account and Suzumebachi's presence during the Five Kage Summit, it's inferred that she and her brothers retrieved the Bikochu. This is confirmed in Chapter 109, and they used it as the first step to restore their clan to its former glory.
** Instead of A being the Supreme Commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces, [[spoiler:Jiraiya is chosen for the position]].
** Orochimaru chooses to side ''with'' Akatsuki in the wake of the Fourth Ninja War, when in canon he fought ''against'' them.
** During his Bijuu training, instead of facing his inner darkness, Naruto ends up [[spoiler:being transported to the [[BizarroUniverse Genjutsu World]] from ''Anime/NarutoTheMovieRoadToNinja'']] as part of his training.
** During the Fourth Ninja War arc, given that Fu escapes being captured by Akatsuki, [[spoiler:her slot as one of Obito's reanimated six paths is taken by Bunpuku (Shukaku's first jinchuriki)]].

** MakingASplash: Besides canonical examples, Sakura, Ino, Shizune and Fu can use water jutsu. [[spoiler: Naruto himself learns to use water release during the timeskip.]]

* EnergeticAndSoftSpokenDuo: Shino and Fu fit into this dynamic perfectly . He's just as quiet as [[Manga/{{Naruto}} his canon counterpart]], while she is pretty much incapable of shutting up.

* FamilyVersusCareer: Justified. Being a ninja is a high risk occupation, so couples who have children will sometimes have one member start taking lower level missions or retire altogether to ensure that the kids will have at least one parent survive. Whether the husband or wife steps down varies from couple to couple (both show up in the story).

** Naruto and Hinata are both this for each other, having become friends shortly after entering the academy. This proves to have a major effect on both of them, curbing Naruto's attention seeking habits enough to be on good terms with his other classmates, and giving Hinata a much needed confidence boost. Much like with their canon counterparts, this ends up developing into a ChildhoodFriendRomance.

** Jiraiya and Tsunade are implied to have a very healthy sex life. Case in point, when they arrive early for the Kage Summit, they request for a shared room to kill that time together while waiting until the rest of the Kages arrive.
** From Shizune's monologue in Chapter 81, this seems to be the case between her and [[spoiler:Shisui.]]
