History FanFic / TheSomewhatCrackedMindofUchihaItachi

* TheMedic: Sasuke is the first Uchiha medic, a fact that often surprises everyone he meets who knows anything about the Uchiha Clan. It irritates him a little, but is ultimately something he finds to be proud of.

* FaceFault: Done by Obito when he overhears Sasuke asking him to teach him strong fire jutsu's to burn [[BunnyEarsLawyer Kakashi's]] porn as he sneaked in.

* OCStandIn: Noriko Uchiha for Itachi's canon girlfriend. She's his fiance, a chunin, and an archer. Her main role in the story is as a CoolBigSis to the Konoha 12 and Sasuke and TheRival to Shisui. She and Itachi mostly spend their date money on ninja tools and hide out under a genjutsu until their parents think the date's probably over.

* AccidentalTruth: Chapter 9 has Mizuki do this totally on accident when trying to distract Kabuto, where he blabs about the Uchiha's current status in the village, their and others' problems with Danzou, and something surprisingly similar to the original coup plan (shocking the older Uchiha nearby). He actually doesn't know that much about any of the three due to his low security clearance as a chunin, thus making it this trope to himself, too. When Sasuke and Naruto find out way later how close to right he was about the coup, they're both shocked.

* {{Badass}}: Prety much [[WorldOfBadass everyone]].
** BadassBookworm: Iruka, Sakura, and Itachi.
** TookALevelInBadass: Iruka and Mizuki compared to canon. Sakura sooner than in canon.

** Notably subverted for Sakura and Ino -- thanks to the summer camp, both Sakura and Ino came to know Sasuke as a person rather than idealizing him, resulting in neither of the two having romantic feelings for him when they got older and retaining their close friendship, along with befriending Sasuke himself at a relatively young age. Unfortunately for Sasuke, that didn't go for the rest of the girls in his class.

* OddFriendship: Itachi and pretty much anyone he's friends with, especially Kisame. Ino and Shino form one as well.

* ForWantOfANail: The main one is the delay of the Uchiha coup by the Sandaime using Itachi's recruitment of Kisame to hint that he considers Itachi a good successor (despite Itachi personally having no interest). This causes the coup to eventually [[spoiler:turn into an inter-clan civil war years later when Naruto is noted as the preferred successor. Apparently, they weren't willing to accept second-best, with an Uchiha teaching a future Hokage rather than an Uchiha ''being'' Hokage, as Fugaku lampshades.[[note]]Hilariously enough, in canon there is an Uchiha who ''does'' want to be Hokage and may have the potential to get there: [[spoiler:Sarada Uchiha, Sasuke and Sakura's daughter]].[[/note]]

* RuleOfThree: Invoked in the Chuunin exams preliminaries.

* RuleOfFunny: WordOfGod is that the fic will run on this more than anything else, as a reaction to how dark and sad canon was getting when the fic was started.

* CassandraTruth: Chapter 9 his Mizuki do this totally on accident when trying to distract Kabuto, where he blabs about the Uchiha's current status in the village, their and others' problems with Danzou, and something surprisingly similar to the original coup plan (shocking the older uchiha nearby).

* {{Jerkass}}: The Fourth Kazekage. Instead of in canon, where he was a well-meaning but terrible leader, this guy has barely any redeeming qualities, if any.

* MundanemadeAwesome: Due to living in apartments all his life, Naruto is impressed that Tazuna's family home has ''two floors all to itself.'' Tenten then ups the ante by revealing her house actually has three floors.

* CatsAreMean: There is an entire chapter dedicated to Team 7's Tora-catching efforts. They eventually dub him more horrible than the Kyuubi could ever hope to be.

** Neji and fate. He's gotten past it enough to attempt to make jokes on it.

** Iruka and Mizuki are later made into therapists [[spoiler: for the liberated ROOT kids and even later Orochimaru]] though Mizuki doesn't take it all that seriously.

This causes the coup to eventually [[spoiler: get turned into an inter-clan civil war years later when Naruto is noted as the preferred successor.]]

** The presence of the Uchiha clan means Orochimaru was unwilling to kill the Fourth Kazekage since it would deprive the invasion of a powerful force. The Kazekage tries to tip things in their favor by hiring an Akatsuki team, accidentally complicating things for both sides. [[spoiler: Which leads to Sasori and Kakuzu dying while Orochimaru is too tired to use Edo Tensei against the Hokage.]]

** The Sand Siblings make one slightly earlier than canon. Very slightly.

* ArchnemesisDad: How Gaara sees the Fourth Kazekage.

* AnimalCompanion: Sakura tames a park squirrel she names Cappy (Sasuke recused it from choking on a plastic cap with surgery) and Naruto omes up with seals to let her summon him. He's very useful and even helps her beat Hinata in the finals since his limbs are too tiny to easily disable.

* CoolSword: Samehada, natch. Kubikiribocho as well, which is now in Tenten's possession. Kusanagi. Tenten and Kisame bond over these.

* CoolSword: Samehada, natch. Kubikiribocho as well, which is now in Tenten's possession. Kisame wants permission to kill another Swordsman to get their sword for Neji to round out the team, which will also be this.

* OddFriendship: Itachi and pretty much anyone he's friends with, especially Kisame. Ino and Shino form one as well.

* CoolSword: Samehada, natch. Zabuza gives Kubikiribocho to Kisame for Tenten since he was going to die killing Gato anyways. He's now aiming to get permission to go out and kill another Swordsman to get their sword for Neji and round out the team, since Lee gets Samehada when Kisame dies. Since they're ninja swords with various abilities, all are definitely this.
