History Fanfic / ChasingTheShadow

* AdaptationalBadass: Sakura, dear god Sakura.

Written by a fan fictioner called Obvious Pseudonym O'flaherty, the story is a ForWantOfANail FixFic take on the ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'' franchise, based on the premise that, instead of being made to live alone as a child, Naruto was instead raised by the Uchiha clan as Sasuke's brother. The story is written with the express intent of being ''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RationalFic less blatantly silly]]'' than the story writing of the original eventually became, and has thus far been relatively successful in that regard. The story sticks relatively closely to canon for a short while, but diverges rather rapidly at the land of waves arc, with multiple small scale changes resulting in a very different series of events past that point.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: There are a couple in this fic.
** When Sakura [[spoiler:Fires herself at Gaara out of a cannon]], and, later on, [[spoiler:Intimidates the oldest being in the world into training her.]]
** [[spoiler:Lee vs Neji]], nuff said.
** When Hinata, after [[spoiler:training with Guy for a year]], beats up [[spoiler:Sasuke]] singlehanded. Youth!

* TykeBomb
** Most of the main cast, to some degree or another, but specifically Gaara.

Although parts of it are mildly sub-par, the author himself having admitted outright that it was written for the purposes of improving his writing skills, the quality rises gradually as the story goes on.

* AmbiguouslyBi: Both Naruto and Haku, the author seems to have a thing for complicated sexualities.

* Anti Villain: [[spoiler:Orochimaru and Kisame]]: the former, while still not good, is more of a sociopath than truly villainous. The latter, while definitely a villain, is generally kind and does allow his friendships with some of the heroes to [[spoiler:influence his actions]].
