* RealityEnsues: It's actually extremely difficult to impossible for single parents balance active ninja duty and parenting. Since a lot of well-paying missions are outside the village, the single parent has to pull a balancing act on getting enough income and raising the child. For Tsume, she pulls this off because she is the head of her clan, who support her and has her many friends baby-sit when she's on duty. For Mana Mesuji, Natsumi's mother, who had no family or friends to help or support her this was nearly impossible to pull off and she ended up killed when she overstretched herself, leaving her daughter an orphan.

* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Sealing is an extremely dangerous and volitle art. The seal can be affected by multiple factors: writing hand, chakra nature, hand-writing and the thought process of user. The wrong thing can cause the seal to explode.

[[spoiler: She has '''many''' friends and subordinates in high places, one of the legendary sannin thinks of her as his niece, and the Yondaime is her adoptive brother. They immediately close ranks to look for her.]] Since she married a Nara, who are known to be lazy and unmotivated they assume that she must be lazy and unmotivated and will wait for someone to rescue her.[[spoiler: She tore her way to becoming an ANBU captain and the respected lady of Nara and she rescues herself from their clutches. ]]

** Because Natsumi took control of the Academy (which eventually became Nara jurisdiction) and screwed around with the genin teams barring Minato's canon team, [[spoiler:Senju Nawaki never died like in canon nor expressed an interest in ever becoming Hokage. As a result, Tsunade opposed Dan's belief that there should be a medic on every team, citing her sensei's reasoning, and the two are unable to get along, hence they never became lovers.]]
** Thanks to [[spoiler:Komushi]] attaining a sealing specialty during his apprenticeship with Natsumi, [[spoiler:Sasori never left the village or killed the Sandaime Kazekage (Satoshi). Thus, when Suna needs a jinchuriki and necessitates sealing it into Gaara, whose father, the canon Yondaime Kazekage, is the Sandaime's son, Komushi is the one designated with sealing Shukaku into Gaara and prevents the faulty seal that caused all of canon Gaara's problems from being used. Thanks to that, Karura survives the sealing, and is able to prevent her husband from destroying her youngest son's childhood. And since Sasori never left, it's implied that ''he'' will become Yondaime Kazekage rather than Gaara's father. A side story confirms it in fact.]]

* InfiniteSupplies: [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] Another thing that makes sealing difficult to learn is that is it's extremely expensive. Students and masters have to constant go through brushes, paper, jars, ink, furniture and such because sealing is very volitle.
* InSpiteOfANail: Even with Natsumi's presence, there are some things that still happen anyway. [[spoiler:Sakumo still dies, only instead of seppuku, he was killed in a last stand against ROOT agents. Orochimaru still does his experiments and Tenzou still gets the Mokuton, only he has another girl named Naomi with him who was also experimented on to become a pseudo-Uzumaki and Natsumi's counter, while Orochimaru is caught and executed. Itachi still gets his sharingan when he's four due to a lack of available babysitters. A clan is still effectively destroyed, only instead of the massacred and embittered Uchiha Clan, it had been a panicking Kurama Clan whose kekkai genkai was on the verge of extinction, and was only disbanded at that.]]

** It's later revealed in a chapter of Pawprints that Kisame's contract with the Sharks is the reason for his blue skin and gills. Asuma gets fangs from the Monkeys despite never signing the contract. [[spoiler:Shikamaru gets the purring and the nails before he signs on with the Leopards.]] The Uchiha are light footed and sharp-eyed because they have the Hawk and Cat contracts. Minato and Naruto are double-jointed thanks to the Toads, while Jiraya can spit oil, jump insanely high without chakra, and is impervious to cold/wet weather. Gai gets tiny tortoise shell plates under his skin that acts as armor and are the cause of his sparkling.

The fact that it was a ''sixteen year old kunoichi'' (Mei Terumi) that finally did something about was just icing on the cake.

* AlmightyJanitor: Most of Konoha's shinobi forces is under-ranked for security reasons. As being a jounin indicates reputable skill, it results in the ninja in question having a target painted on their back. Hence, it is a rarity for jounin to be found in ANBU, and clans have a set amount of jounin slots according to the number of members they have in order to prevent other villages and bounty hunters from hunting them down and dwindling the size of the clan. It also has the benefit of many of the other shinobi villages underestimating Konoha shinobi, which goes a long way into explaining why Naruto was never promoted from his genin rank for all of Part II in canon despite being by far the most powerful shinobi in Konoha at the time. [[note]]If Naruto ever did get promoted beyond genin rank, it was never shown as by the time of the epilogue, [[spoiler:he was already Hokage]].[[/note]]
