Line #104 Fanfic/FriendshipContract


1	Reading an epic tale of one of the Third Hokage's missions, a 6 year old Franchise/{{Naruto}} sets himself on getting some awesome summons of his own. Unable to find a contract on short notice, and not understanding why a contract is required, he goes through the necessary motions anyways and winds up in Equestria. Can Naruto convince the locals to let him be their summoner? Is the ninja world ready for the likes of Pinky Pie? Just how much will a young Naruto benefit from the Magic of Friendship?

7	----
8	!!Tropes:
9
10	* AreYouPonderingWhatImPondering: Naruto asks Pinkie Pie this, calling her "Pinkie", in a ShoutOut to WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain. [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged "I think so Naruto, but how would a button even produce warm blueberry muffins on demand?"]]
11	* ArtisticLicensePhysics:
12	** Constantly lampshaded by Twilight Sparkle and, to a lesser extent, Naruto and Sasuke on some of the ninja techniques, such as where the {{Ninja Log}}s used for the replacement technique come from.
13	** Sakura REALLY doesn't like the nonsense that is the 'reality breaking armor'.
14	* AwesomeButImpractical: The Sonic Rainboom Rasengan, which delivers devastating damage at the cost of massive damage to the user while being [[LampshadeHanging easily dodged by taking a step to the left or right.]]
15	* BadassArmy: The Konoha team who gather to rescue Sasuke.
16	* BadassBoast: All of the Sannin [[spoiler: during their fight at the end of the Sasuke Rescue arc.]]
17	* BashBrothers: Naruto and Sasuke, naturally, but Sasuke and Rainbow Dash also make for a great team.
18	* BewareTheNiceOnes: ''Everyone'' fears an angry Fluttershy…
19	* BigBrotherMentor: Lee and Gai begin teaching the fine art of chakra-less butt-kicking to Scootaloo.
20	* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: Jiraiya and Tsunade]] make a fast appearance after [[spoiler: Orochimaru]] appears to collect Sasuke.
21	%%* BigEater: The Akimichi clan, and they quickly come to love the Apple family.
22	* BoringButPractical:
23	** Using storage scrolls to transport an entire feast for a party.
24	** [[spoiler: Sakura]] helps Chouji beat Jirobo by [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill covering his back with exploding tags]].
25	* BorrowedCatchphrase: People keep borrowing Shikamaru's favorite catchphrase. He is not amused.
26	* BrickJoke: Early in the story, Kiba comments that he can't wait until he can drink hard liquors. Over a dozen chapters later, he's trying to convince Anko to give him some of her hard apple cider.
27	* BunnyEarsLawyer: Kakashi makes a special note that Naruto is approaching these levels with his tricks compared to the other students. The orange ninja also seems to have picked up some habits from a certain [[NoFourthWall pink pony]]…
28	* ChekhovsGun: The chakra seals that Pinkie Pie had stored up from Naruto.
29	* ChekhovsSkill: The process of making a cloud and shaping it.
30	* ContinuityNod:
31	** Cake batter in the cannon: it's tradition.
32	** Naruto hides packs of cards all over Konoha inside seals in case of emergencies, similar to Pinkie's habit of leaving balls around Ponyville.
33	** The mustache spell and pink, chocolate-raining clouds.
34	** Rainbow Dash thinks that exploring the Forest of Death would be just like a Daring Doo book and even goes to get her Daring Doo cosplay outfit to use for it.
35	** Mare Do Well makes an appearance, mysteriously while some of the mane six are off doing other things. [[DontExplainTheJoke Of course, then Neji explains what's going on]] to everyone, including the foreign ninjas.
36	** Discord jokingly says 'believe it' when Naruto doesn't trust him.
37	** To lure the Sound Five into a false sense of security, Naruto sends in a team of clones disguised as the original team sent to get Sasuke from canon.
38	* CoolAirship: The ''Ixion'', a craft built by the Cutie Mark Crusaders and outfitted with several powerful weapons [[spoiler: (and which earns two of them their cutie marks)]]. It takes a ''lot'' of chakra for Naruto to summon it.
39	* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Commented on. Sakura grumbles that she needs to 'learn to use the gates or something' because she's the only character without such a technique.
40	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]]. Upon Sasuke's comment that the Mangekyo Sharingan makes whoever uses it go blind, Naruto comments that [[SelfAbuse "I've heard that one before about doing other naughty stuff."]]
41	* DumbassNoMore: With Twilight Sparkle as his tutor, there was no way Naruto would be ''able'' to stay a BookDumb character.
42	* EarlyBirdCameo: Kakashi actually shows up pretty early in the story, but isn't even named for several chapters even though he appears several times.
43	* EvilGloating: Apparently, Doto has a MAJOR problem with actually fighting and not talking on and on about his plans and how insignificant everyone else is compared to him. He even managed to keep gloating long enough for Naruto to get bored and switch opponents with Sasuke.
44	* FamilyHonor: Griffon society runs on this, with all griffons being family to one another. Crosses over with NobleSavage, as most of Equestria considers them rough yet honorable creatures.
45	* FluffyTheTerrible: Tiny the puppy Cerberus
46	* ForWantOfANail:
47	** Besides the differences Naruto's upbringing under the Ponies makes (for instance, his contract with them precludes him from getting one with the toads), the Chuunin Exams alone see Karin make a HeelFaceTurn, Sakura defeat Ino instead of drawing with her, Hinata not lose as badly and actually deal a blow to Neji that leaves him barely able to stand, Rock Lee come out of his loss to Gaara without serious injury (thanks to Sweetie Belle talking Gaara down), and the Third Hokage survive his fight against Orochimaru thanks to Luna.
48	** With Naruto forcing Sasuke to not withdraw into himself and keeping him from witnessing Itachi's Tsukiyomi and murder of their parents, Sasuke is almost a completely different person. Upon hearing that Itachi came to Konoha dressed in a black cloak with red clouds, he immediately left… to grab Sakura, since the black cloaks with red clouds indicate that Naruto is in danger from Itachi.
49	* {{Foreshadowing}}: A character in chapter 16 thinks in wonderment at a 'real life Uzumaki' being at the exam. [[spoiler: It's Karin, his cousin.]]
50	* FunWithAcronyms: The Modular Earth-pony Chakra Hardened Assault Puppet, or MECHA Puppet. Alternate name of Chakra Hardened Ultra Can Kicker (which Kankuro [[EmbarrassingNickname steadfastly refuses to use]]).
51	* GeniusDitz: Pinkie Pie is quick to take to sealing techniques, becoming quite proficient with them in little time.
52	* HADToBeSharp: [[spoiler: The griffins]] due to living within high mountain peaks.
53	* HandicappedBadass: [[spoiler:Master Patch]], strongest of the [[spoiler:Diamond Dogs and Sakura's trainer during her training trip in Equestria]] is blind [[spoiler:and wields very [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Earthbender-like]] abilities]]. Stated by the author to be an {{homage}} to [[spoiler:Toph]].
54	* HarpingOnAboutHarpies: [[spoiler:Sasuke's 2nd level curse seal form]] resembles a harpy after his training with the [[spoiler:griffins]].
55	* HeWhoFightsMonsters: The griffon tale on the Nameless One, a griffon who [[ContinuityNod fell to his mad quest of vengeance upon the elder brother who slew their father and fled]].
56	* HiveMind: The changelings in this universe, facilitated by a PsychicLink.
57	* InSpiteOfANail:
58	** Even with all of the other changes that happen, Team 7 still gets stuck guarding Tazuna and escorting him back to the Land of Waves.
59	** The matches post-Forest of Death are still the same, though some of the outcomes are tweaked.
60	** Also the Kazekage Rescue Arc, despite the changes in tecniques and the added ponies, the result is basically the same as the manga.
61	* KillItWithFire: Twilight's response to one of Jiraiya's adult-only books after she reads it.
62	* KillerRabbit: Or Chihuahua, in this case. [[spoiler: Who would've thought one named Master Patch would be the best fighter of the Diamond Dogs?]]
63	* LampshadeHanging: A lot of it in general, but a shining example is found in the comment on the trope NewPowersAsThePlotDemands with the [[spoiler: development of chakra usage in the ponies.]] Twilight comments that "It's not like we're just suddenly developing new powers to keep up with the plot of some bad novel", as they've been working towards it ever since the beginning of the story.
64	* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The narration comments that Kakashi came in 'from his off-screen battle' to give the Snow princess the [[{{Macguffin}} real crystal necklace]].
65	** Sasuke and Rainbow Dash have a short discussion on how if they stick around each other too much longer, their "fan clubs would join forces. Akatsuki would run in fear."
66	* LotusEaterMachine: Rarity has a technique that creates effects like this.
67	* MadScientist: Pinkie Pie is slowly becoming this, what with her experimentation with chakra and seals and her curiously effective inventions.
68	* MamaBear: Strangely, Luna is extremely protective of her 'adoptive foal', Naruto.
69	* MasterOfIllusion: Of the pony ninjas, [[spoiler: Rarity]] is the illusion expert. In over a year of her ambushing Naruto with them, he has never yet managed to realize he was even in a Genjutsu in less than 15 minutes.
70	* [[MrExposition Ms Exposition]]: The [[spoiler: changeling]] that was left to guard Naruto.
71	* MythologyGag:
72	** This Sasuke seems to have just as much of a problem with the logs from the Replacement technique as [[WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedSeries another Sasuke]].
73	** Naruto asks [[SmugSnake Kabuto]] if he has a [[WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedSeries song about his Ninja Info Cards]].
74	** Kakashi decides to take a page out of Naruto's book and suggests a competition of [[WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedComedyFandubSpoofSeriesShow summoning narwhals]] to his Snow Country opponent.
75	* NecessarilyEvil: Discord points out his purpose as this, ensuring that Utopian societies don't decay and ensuring the status quo doesn't remain constant.
76	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Subverted. Sakura accidentally breaks [[spoiler: the gate keeping evil at bay in Equestria]], but she's reassured that there are backups.
77	* NoIndoorVoice: Luna has to be reminded to use her indoor voice [[spoiler:the first time she's summoned]].
78	* TheNondescript: Naruto's use of yin chakra makes the Shining Armor technique turn him into this, preventing anyone from noticing his presence even if he tries to draw their attention to him. [[spoiler: Unless they can see chakra.]]
79	* NoodleIncident: Las Pegasus. They mention a few things, such as losing Sakura for 6 hours and Lee winning a champion belt, but don't quite mention how these things happened or much of anything else besides it being good blackmail material for all of them.
80	* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: In the Forest Of Death during the Chuunin Exams, Luna fights and drives off Orochimaru. However, the narrative focuses entirely on Sasuke and his new Cursed Seal while this is happening.
81	* OhCrap: [[spoiler: A certain spirit of chaos seems to have made his way to the Elemental Nations for unknown reasons, save for wanting to watch Naruto's efforts to become Hokage.]]
82	* PersonalRaincloud: [[spoiler:Naruto creates a jutsu that he can use for this]].
83	* PetTheDog: Gaara's interactions with Sweetie Belle, which end up helping to defuse his AxCrazy tendencies and facilitate his HeelFaceTurn.
84	* PhysicalGod: Luna and Celestia both [[spoiler: as they prove during the Sound invasion.]]
85	* ThePowerOfFriendship: What do you expect in a crossover like this?
86	* PowerPerversionPotential: Not intended, but Sakura asks Chouji if all his body parts expand, which makes him turn beet red.
87	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
88	** Sasuke gives Sakura a pretty brutal one which mirrors the fandom's main problems with her.
89	** In fact, Sasuke seems to be pretty good at dishing these out to anyone.
90	* RedShirtArmy: Lampshaded by Naruto with the army of mooks in Snow Country. A minor twist as it's the heroic side that has the army.
91	* RunningGag:
92	** The previously mentioned lampshading of the problems with ninja physics.
93	** The party cannon full of cake batter, as it's tradition.
94	** Sakura really didn't mean to break that door. Honest!
95	* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Naruto, or at least his Shadow Clones. Though, considering one of Deidara's exploding-clay spiders had just quit playing dead, leapt at him and latched onto his ''face'', the girly-scream is understandable.
96	* ShoutOut:
97	** [[spoiler:Naruto's cloud jutsu that allows him to create a small cloud [[Franchise/DragonBall upon which he can fly]], which he trades to Sarutobi's ape summoning for a blank summoning scroll.]]
98	** Naruto stealing Sasuke's shirt and covering him in glitter, making him look like [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga a vampire]].
99	** [[spoiler:And after Sasuke's Cursed Seal gets a Luna-made seal themed after the phases of the moon, Naruto ([[{{Troll}} jokingly]]?) tells him that unlocking the full power of the seal requires Sasuke to shout out "[[Franchise/SailorMoon Moon Princess Power]]!"]]
100	** [[VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins "Swooping is... bad."]]
101	** [[Webcomic/GirlGenius "For Science!"]]
102	** The CMC suggested Naruto catch a [[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone Cerberus and name it Fluffy, as well as keeping it in one of the corridors of the Ninja Academy]].
103	** Sweetie Belle manages to make [[Music/TenaciousD a song which was so amazingly awesome that the only thing left to remember it]] [[SignatureSong is a rough tribute to its glory]].
104	** [[Series/Batman1966 na na na na na na na na]] [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents CATMAN!]]
105	** [[Film/TheTerminator There is no fate but what we make for ourselves.]]
106	** [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean "Why is the cider/rum gone?" / "If I wasn't this would probably never work."]]
107	** Ninjas vs Pirates, the age-old question.
108	** A [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]] is introduced into the Princess Gale films, acted out by Twilight Sparkle.
109	** Sasuke bemoans his horrid-looking hand-wings, wishing he'd grown some awesome black-feathered wings, [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII or maybe just one]] [[LampshadeHanging even if it wouldn't be capable of doing anything useful]].
110	** [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Hydro Cannon! It's not very effective…]]
111	** After [[spoiler: barely avoiding getting caught by Deidara's suicide explosion]], a disoriented Sasuke questions whether or not the [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender resulting mushroom cloud is friendly]].
112	** Konohamaru is being trained by three young monkeys of the Monkey tribe: [[Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms Wei, Wu, and Shu]]
113	** When first meeting Rainbow Dash, Naruto asks her [[WebAnimation/DeathBattle who would win if she fought a giant robot]]. Rainbow Dash's answer is, of course her.
114	* SpannerInTheWorks: All of the extra combatants during the Rescue Sasuke arc.
115	* SparedByTheAdaptation:
116	** The Third Hokage, thanks to Luna helping him against Orochimaru.
117	** All of the Snow Country rebels, thanks to Twilight's preemptive strike.
118	* SphereOfDestruction: Combined with WaveMotionGun in the Sonic Rainboom Rasengan
119	* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: Naruto manages to do this [[spoiler: to a minority of the changeling cause who then decide to try living as normal ponies]].
120	* TookALevelInBadass:
121	** Who would've thought ponies made such great ninja tutors?
122	** After Sasuke gave her a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, Sakura took it to heart and has trained herself to be an incredible ninja, unlike most kunoichi of the ninja world.
123	* TookALevelInJerkass: Kurenai and Tenten both seem to be a lot crueler than their canon counterparts.
124	* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Watching Naruto get tossed through buildings and assaulted by Tsunade isn't nearly as interesting as Twilight Sparkle's discussion on pony ninjas, apparently. The ponies are, in general, becoming this in Konoha thanks to Naruto's efforts.
125	* UnwantedAssistance: Naruto and Sasuke's efforts to help Sakura out [[spoiler: during their battle with Deidara and Sasori]] causes numerous disasters which nearly get Sakura pincushioned by wind and fire chakra-laced shuriken. She even says the trope almost word for word.
126	* WaveMotionGun: combined with SphereOfDestruction in the Sonic Rainboom Rasengan.
