History Fanfic / NewChance

* AdaptationalJerkass: Minato is WAY more aggressive and boastful than his canon counterpart.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Fuu's treatment by her peers is even worse than Naruto's (they don't even allow her to live in the village), with only Shibuki and a couple other Taki ninja treating her like ahuman being.

* SenpaiKohai: Kakashi and Itachi had this relationship when they were in ANBU. [[spoiler:They continue it after Itachi officially returns to the village]].

* [[OverprotectiveDad Overprotective Mom]]: Kushina. To the point she makes sure Naruto isn't on the same team as Sasuke and Sakura considering how it was in the previous timeline.

* DreamTeam: The Hand of Death, an elite group leaded by Minato formed by the strongest ninja of Konoha.

* SempaiKohai: Kakashi and Itachi had this relationship when they were in ANBU. [[spoiler:They continue it after Itachi officially returns to the village]].

** Arashi Uzumaki's first order of business is to establish his badass credentials. [[spoiler:[[UpToEleven Then he revealed he was really the Fourth Hokage during the Iwa-Oto invasion]]]].

* LadyLooksLikeADude: When Kushina was a kid, everybody, including Minato, kept mistaking her for a boy. She got fed up and decided to [[RapunzelHair grow her hair to Rapunzel levels]] to avoid further confusion.

* PrehensileHair: Kushina manages to weaponize her RapunzelHair by channeling chakra into it, not only controlling it at will but also making it as hard as steel.

* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Fuuka, a FillerVillain with powers vaguely similar to Kakuku's, is here Kakuzu's little sister [[spoiler: who ends up joining Akatsuki]].

* AsYouKnow: One of the author's most persistent flaws. Expect a lot characters talking about stuff they should know already.

* BigBrotherInstinct: [[spoiler:Itachi is willing to attack ''Pein'' for causing his little brother emotional duress via using Sakura as a human shield against Sasuke's chidori. Thankfully, she survived]].
* BigNo: Minato let's out an ''epic'' one after Gai declares him his "second eternal rival".

** Also, Jiraiya and Tsunade become a couple shortly after the former [[spoiler:becomes the Fifth Hokage.]]

* EngineeredPublicConfession: A variation. [[spoiler:Minato and co. have Sasuke hide in a closet while they speak with Itachi about the truth of the Uchiha Clan Massacre, preventing him from attempting to go rogue again and/or be imprisoned for it]].

--> It was not a surprise that after the Fourth Ninja War of the original timeline Naruto was promoted straight to Jonin and Tsunade claimed that he would succeed her in a few years ([[TakeThat unlike some nonsensical timelienes]] where Naruto not only remains a Genin, after the War, but Tsunade, after only four years as Hokage, makes Kakashi her succesor, not mattering the fact that he was weaker than her that he couldn't defeat any of the Akatsuki members he fought against or that he no longer had the Sharingan, his main advantage over other ninjas and the requisite to use his no longer available SignatureMove Chidori.

* HappilyMarried: Minato and Kushina. So painfully happy. [[spoiler:After Kushina is revived, Minato goes to great lengths to show her how much he loves her for no other reason to show her how much he loves her. It makes all the other women in the village downright ''jealous''.]]

** Minato is incredibly loyal to Kushina, even after death. [[spoiler:Nothing can compare to his happiness when she is revived.]]
** Naruto and Hinata, as stated by the summary. Though it didn't happen until [[spoiler:the Snow Country arc.]]

** [[spoiler:Sai/Yakumo. Kankuro/Ino is also a possibility]].

* PeggySue: An unusual one in that the character that went back was one that was dead only to be revived and ''then'' sent back. Besides Minato, other time travelers include Shino, Shikamaru, Temari, Kankuro, [[spoiler:Kushina (as a ghost), Jiraiya, Tsunade, Hidan, and Madara.]]

* SettleForSibling: Not only were Hiashi and Hizashi twins, but so were their wives. After the deaths of their respective spouses, Hiashi and Neji's mother Kyoko's relationship gradually grew closer -- they fell in love with each other while having a FriendsWithBenefits relationship. [[spoiler:Thus, at the end of the Hyuuga Wars arc, the clan suggests they get married in order to formally unite the Main and Branch House into one clan. Hiashi and Kyoko are initially reluctant to accept out of respect of the memory of their respective spouses -- a problem Minato solves by revealing that Hizashi and Kyoko's sister got together in the afterlife]].

** Minato needs to be mentioned apart, given that he was already one of the strongest canon characters. On top of all the abilities he had in canon (and still has), in this fanfic he has perfect mastery over all five elements, can create invisible clones made of air, can fly, and has a

** One omake mentions that being attracted in any way to Itachi uchiha is not considered cheating as an unwritten law among kunoichi. Itachi is so good-looking that letting his hair down and ''smiling'' is enough to send a huge contingent of fan girls into a nosebleed-induced coma.

** Also, Jiraiya and Tsunade become a couple shortly after the former [[spoiler: becomes the Fifth Hokage.]]
* DoorStopper: At more than 170 chapters and a wordcount that surpasses 600K. You will take quite some time to read it.

* FanonDiscontinuity: A bit of narration in chapter 160 shows what the author thinks of certain developments of the manga's ending. {{Invoked}}

** Other couples that form in the story are the already canonical Asuma/Kurenai, Sasuke/Sakura and Shikamaru/Temari, Iruka/anko, [[spoiler: Kakashi/Shizune, Shino/Fuu and Jiraiya/Tsunade]].

* SettleForSibling: Not only were Hiashi and Hizashi twins, but so were their wives. After the deaths of their respective spouses, Hiashi and Neji's mother Kyoko gradually got closer and fell in love with each other while having a FriendsWithBenefit relationship. [[spoiler:Thus,at the end of the Hyuuga Wars arc, the clan suggests they get married in order to formally unite the Main and Branch House into one clan. Hiashi and Kyoko are initially reluctant to accept out of respect for the memory of their respective spouses -- a problem Minato solves by revealing that Hizashi and Kyoko's sister got together in the afterlife]].

* ArchEnemy: PlayedForLaughs. Sasuke has one in the form of Tora the cat.

* FanonDiscontinuity: A bit of narration in chapter 160 shows what the author thinks of certain developments of the manga's ending. [[Invoked]]

** Minato needs to be mentioned apart, given that he was already one of the strongest canon characters. On top of all the abilities he had in canon (and still has), in this fanfic he has perfect mastery over all five elements, can create invisible clones made of air, can fly, and has a HealingFactor.

* GratuitousJapanese: A LOT. Besides the usual honorifics, expect to see "Nani?" instead of "What?", "Gomen" instead of "Sorry", "Arigatou" instead of "Thank you", "Hai" instead of "Yes" and so on. And of course, there's also the misuse of "Teme" as a noun or a suffix instead of a second person pronoun that's kind of the staple of ''Naruto'' fanfiction.

* FanonDiscontinuity: A bit of narration in chapter 160 shows what the author thinks of certain developments of the manga's ending.

-->'''Jiraiya''': Senju Tsunade-Hime, Slug Sannin, Granddaughter of the Shodaime Hokage, Grandniece of the Nidaime Hokage, Student of the Sandaime, Original Godaime of Konoha, Konoha's Chief Medic, Greatest Medical Ninja Ever, Legendary Sucker, Most Beautiful Woman Ever and Woman of my Dreams...will you marry The Gallant Jiraiya, Toad Sage, Super Pervert and Second Godaime Hokage of Konoha and make him the Happiest Man Alive?
* UnexpectedCharacter:
** Shino as a time traveler; many stories feature Shikamaru and at least one of the Sand Siblings given how useful they would be to Naruto but Shino is rarely considered for said purpose.
*** In a "Unexpected that They ''Aren't'' a Time Traveler" variant, Naruto isn't one, which has been noted as unusual Naruto PeggySue fanfics.
** You'd think the author writes the story with this trope in mind, given how he uses many characters most fans forget they existed, such as Kaiza, or lately [[spoiler: Kakko and Nono]].

* AcceptableBreaksFromCanon: This story was published in ''2008'' and its update schedule slowed around 2012 -- long before the manga clarified certain things and revealed others, and long before the manga ''ended'' in November 2014. One of these things is the revelation that [[spoiler:Kushina was the second jinchuriki of Kurama, the Kyuubi no Yoko.]]

* HeroicComedicSociopath: Minato has zero problems killing villagers and council members and he uses some very creative punishments. Only when he has reason to however.

** One omake mentions that being attracted in any way to Uchiha Itachi is not considered cheating as an unwritten law among kunoichi. Itachi is so good-looking that letting his hair down and ''smiling'' is enough to send a huge contingent of fan girls into a nosebleed-induced coma.
