Hoorah for Angra Mainyu!
Tropes!
- "Murder Makes You Crazy" combined with "My God, What Have I Done?" makes for one hell of a surprising start to one's career.
- Hinata's sanity starts slipping as she progressively kills more people as a ninja.
- She loses her arm because it was either self-amputation or death *
- Naruto of all people.
- Gambit Pileup - Konoha vs. Naruto vs. Konan & Hinata vs. Orochimaru vs. Madara & Hidan vs. Obito vs. Kiri vs. Pain vs. Itachi
- Naruto - wants Hinata to return.
- Konoha - wants Hinata to die as to cover up their mistakes.
- Konan - wants the Kyūbi no Yōko to keep it away from Orochimaru's hands.
- Hinata - wants to avenge her father and sister.
- Orochimaru - wants the Kyūbi as to help his experiments along and the Sharingan and Byakugan to help him observe the effects.
- Madara - wants all the Bijū as to use them as weapons.
- Obito - wants all the Bijū as to cast his Tsuki no Me.
- Kiri - wants Hi no Kuni's coastal territories.
- Pain - wants to topple Konoha from power and institute Amegakure as a major village.
- Itachi - doesn't have a purpose except being a Spanner in the Works for Orochimaru.
- Icy Blue Eyes - Naruto again
- Naruto starts slipping into evil rather than the insane as he works to redeem Hinata.
- Genius Bonus + Foreshadowing = Ikinai!
- A different outcome to the Hyūga Incident and several slightly alterations to history cause a whole different set of events to occur.
- Itachi takes both of Shisui's eyes, kills his entire clan save for his brother, mind-rapes Sasuke who commits suicide after some time.
- Shino becomes RotY* , Ino and Sakura never graduate from the academy and Kakashi gets a mediocre team which he fails.
- Neji delves into the realm of pride over his skills to the point of rubbing it in people's faces every chance he has.
- Hinata lost both her parents and her sister in the Hyūga Incident that happened eight years before the main events.
- Zabuza's coup succeeds and he becomes Mizukage.
- Itachi and Kisame leave the Akatsuki, inverting the "Renegade Splinter Faction" trope.
- Because of this, Orochimaru left, followed by Hidan and Kakuzu, followed by Pain and Konan, leaving Faux Affably Evil "Tobi", Zetsu, Deidara and Sasori.
- By the time the story begins, Hidan, Kakuzu, Pain and Konan should still be affiliated with the Akatsuki.
- Hinata defects from Konoha after finding out the truth about her father. This is "Was It All a Lie?" played out on a village scale.
- Konoha mounts a rescue attempt, except she doesn't want to be rescued. Cue the Naruto vs. Hinata fight, where Naruto is utterly convinced that Hinata is misaimed - he gets defeated.
- Shikamaru arrives late to assist Naruto, where he fights Hinata and isn't seen again until much later.
- Most in Konoha consider Hinata's actions to be irredeemable - she faces a Heel Realization and a moment of "My God, What Have I Done?" as Shikamaru has been her teammate for quite a long time.
- Hinata's "Life or Limb" decision occurs here.
- "There Is No God" - Asuma's response once he sees the battleground left behind Shikamaru and Hinata.
