History Fanfic / ShatteringLies

* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: Shukaku says this when seeing NAruto act like a family man, despite being the strongest man in the world. Naruto subverts this big time stating he's OK with that.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14233547/1/Shattering-Lies Shattering Lies]]'' is a crossover FanFiction story of Manga/{{Naruto}} and ''Manga/OshiNoKo'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/15650354/ AncientKeeperOfScrollsV2]].

The story follows Naruto Uzumaki and Ai Hoshino, where the day he meets her, he saves her from a terrible fate. Upon this fateful meeting, the two started connecting to each other for happier lives.

* AlternateUniverseFic: For both ''Naruto'' and ''Oshi no Ko''. Instead of making peace with Naruto and ending the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Sasuke instead sends him away to another world as a DyingCurse and dooming any survivor to a slow death, thus creating a DownerEnding for the former story. As Naruto lives his new life in the latter world, the events still played out the same way for Ai and her children until the fateful day came in the form of [[StalkerWithACrush Ryosuke]], to which Naruto intervenes and creates a major divergence.
* BigDamnHeroes: In the first chapter alone shows Naruto foiling Ryosuke's murder attempt, thus saving Ai's life and creating the first divergence from canon.
* TheBigDamnKiss: After Ai made her love confession to Naruto at the Tokyo Dome on live television and went to his home, they share their first, but long and passionate kiss in Chapter 5.

* FirstLove: Despite having dated several men and even having twins with one boy her age, Naruto is essentially this for Ai as he's the first person who she genuinely experiences ''romantic'' love with and vice-versa.

* {{Hypocrite}}: It says a lot that Ryosuke, a StalkerWithACrush who was planning to murder Ai, and had already murdered Goro in the past mind you, calls ''Naruto'' a monster when he's slowly getting killed by him. Unfortunately for Ryosuke, this only angered Naruto further and killed him right then and there if Ai hadn't snapped him out of it.

** By staying true to his kind personality and saving Ai Hoshino's life, Naruto not only gained a new purpose in life and a loving family in return, but he also ends up creating the new Uzumaki Clan.

** Although the story already has its own form of darkness similar to RealLife, Ryosuke and Ai's former partner makes the tone much darker.

* PointOfDivergence: The very first nail in the story is Naruto's ''existence'' in the world of ''Oshi no Ko'', which would cause a big chain of events that would deviate from canon.

* RescueRomance: Ai's interest in Naruto happens when he prevented Ryosuke from killing her, and they eventually bonded and fell for one another.

* TragicHero: ''Naruto''. In addition to suffering the numerous canon tragedies and hardships in his story, he fails to redeem Sasuke and gets TrappedInAnotherWorld by the latter as a DyingCurse. After living in Japan for three long years with no way of getting back left Naruto is a lonely young man filled with regrets, [[TragicDream broken dreams]], unfulfilled promises, and the bitter acceptance of living out the rest of his remaining life in his new surroundings. What's worse is that even if he did find a way back, he would have no way of reversing Infinite Tsukuyomi due to Sasuke's death and all of humanity is practically extinct due to the worldwide Genjutsu and being fed to the God Tree, which would damn Naruto to a [[FateWorseThanDeath living hell of eternal loneliness]].
* YouMonster: Naruto gets called this by Ryosuke when he was "about to" kill him, which is incredibly hypocritical given his disgusting personality as a StalkerWithACrush, what he was planning to do to Ai, and the fact that he already committed murder himself in the past.

* FirstEpisodeTwist: The [[ForWantOfANail nail]] that the crossover aspect of the fic brings is Naruto saving Ai from her murder at the hands of Ryosuke, which was the first major WhamEpisode in ''Oshi No Ko'' after the deceptive opening chapters.

* ForWantOfANail: The very first nail in the story is Naruto's ''existence'' in the world of ''Oshi no Ko'', which would cause a big chain of events that would deviate from canon.
** Ai Hoshino survives her fated death as Naruto subdues Ryosuke from murdering her, and in turn, preventing him from committing suicide.
** Aqua and Ruby do not suffer the tragedy of losing their mother, and grew up better adjusted as Naruto and Ai eventually married. Also, while Aqua still seeks revenge against his biological father, he's more mentally stable and less manipulative than in canon.
** Naruto and Ai sired Sapphire and later Minato after getting married.
** The revival of the Uzumaki Clan in secret.
** Ichigo never left Strawberry Productions out of grief [[spoiler:and revenge]] thanks to Ai being still alive. This results in him and Miyako into [[spoiler:siring a daughter together]] during the 12-year timeskip, but [[spoiler:tragically OutlivingOnesOffspring due to their newborn daughter being stillborn.]]
** The reason for Naruto being in the world of ''Oshi no Ko'' in the first place is because of a deviation that happened in his final battle against Sasuke. Instead of Sasuke making peace with Naruto after their arms are destroyed, he instead, clings to his selfish side to the very end and banishes Naruto to another world as a DyingCurse.

* AdaptationalBadass: While not unathletic, it's unknown if Aqua and Ruby know any form of self-defense or martial skills in canon. Here, thanks to having ''Naruto'' as a stepfather and a martial arts teacher, they're both skilled martial artists who're capable of holding their own in a fight.

* AdaptationalSkill: It's unknown if Aqua and Ruby have any self-defense skills in canon. Here, they're both trained martial artists in unarmed combat thanks to Naruto's tutelage.

* {{Hypocrite}}: It says a lot that Ryosuke, a StalkerWithACrush who was planning to murder Ai mind you, calls ''Naruto'' a monster when he's slowly getting killed by him. Unfortunately for Ryosuke, this only angered Naruto further and killed him right then and there if Ai hadn't snapped him out of it.

* YouMonster: Naruto gets called this by Ryosuke when he was "about to" kill him, which is incredibly hypocritical given his disgusting personality as a StalkerWithACrush and what he was planning to do to Ai.

** Ai has this trope being played straight after being saved by Naruto, as their bond and eventual romance played a huge form in CharacterDevelopment for her to fully understand romantic love.
** Zig-zagged with Ichigo. Since Ai had never died, he doesn't leave Strawberry Productions out of grief [[spoiler:and seeking revenge]] and was able to sire a daughter with Miyako. [[spoiler:But tragically OutlivingOnesOffspring as his newborn daughter was a stillborn]].

** Since Aqua never lost Ai and has her and a kind father figure to keep him morally grounded in this fic, he's less manipulative and controlling, and only wants to revenge against his biological father out of a desire to protect his family.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Hikaru was already confirmed to be a SerialKiller in canon, but as of the fic's posting, it was still left in the air if he was behind Ai's death. Here, it's made clear that he was the one who sent Ryosuke to Ai.
