15	* RuleOfThree: The upper ranks of Iwa were long dominated by its the three great clans: the [[BeeAfraid bee-controlling]] Kamizuru who produced the Shodai Tsuchikage, the elitist Kurogane who bear the [[ExtraOreDinary Iron-release]] and the proud, yet also [[ReallyGetsAround promiscuous]] Kinryū who bear the [[MagmaMan Lava-Release]].

34	* SurpassedTheTeacher: [[spoiler:{{Subverted}}. While he manages to destroy Mū's body, the latter's HealingFactor renders this progress null and void, leading to him eventually defeating Onoki.]]
35	* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: He is not the Shodai Tsuchikage's grandson, as in canon, in order to avoid a relation to the Kamizuru-siblings.

You.]]
82	* DidntThinkThisThrough: PlayedForLaughs in an OMAKE. [[spoiler:After becoming Tsuchikage, she tries to combat the spread of Lava-Release users in other nations by forbidding bearers of the bloodline to pursue relationships with foreigners.

93	* RelationshipUpgrade: She enters a LongDistanceRelationship with [[spoiler:Shikamaru]] during Naruto's birthday party.
