Boobs Of Steel is a disambiguation


* BoobsOfSteel: Unlike canon, in which Kushina has a slender build and modest bust, Minato's thoughts imply that Kushina's breasts are actually bigger than they appear, which would make her impressive strength much more in line with this trope.


* InnocentCohabitation: [[spoiler:Minato and Kushina]] when they're teenagers.

Removed extremely outdated comparison of when canon chapter was published to when article was written


The story was started as an attempt to create a backstory for the characters before it was originally provided in canon. However what is really amazing about this fanfic is that even after the canon backstory was finally revealed a few months ago, it didn't contradict things too much because the author did a wonderful job incorporating the new information into the plot.

* DramaticIrony: When Minato and Ren are tasked by the Hokage to identify who has been abducting children and lesser shinobi and discover that the acts are being carried out by undead golems, the Hokage dismisses them and transfers the case to Orochimaru to be ultimately resolved. Of course, anyone familiar with the canon material is well aware that Orochimaru himself had been behind the abductions the whole time.

However what is really amazing about this fanfic is that even after the canon backstory was finally revealed a few months ago, it didn't contradict things too much because the author did a wonderful job incorporating the new information into the plot. What's really notable about this story is that despite its rather overdone story of Naruto's parents falling in love, it avoids making either of them into [[MarySue Mary Sues]], which happens often. It also makes great use of [[ContinuityNod Continuity Nods]] to events that are mentioned to have happened in the canon's backstory.

* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: From chapter 21, Minato still gets these even as an adult from his sensei.
--> "You'll have plenty of time for that," said Jiraiya, patting him on the head like he was still a ten year old boy as opposed to a twenty-one year old man.



* NamesTheSame: The Han in this fic has no relation (that we know of) to the 5-Tails jinchurikki in canon. Also, this Han is technically known by a nickname for Hanerutokoroni.
* NoPeriodsPeriod: Hilariously Averted.
* {{Nosebleed}}: Minato has this during his fight with Kushina in the chunin exam.

** Fellow original character Umage Kusanagi, a captain from Kumo, is not to be confused with Orochimaru's sword Kusanagi.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Per canon, nearly everyone blames Sakumo for prioritizing saving his fellow ninja over fulfilling the mission. Here, we are given an exact reason as to what the mission was: Either Sakumo was to assassinate the new Iwa jinchurikki, or create some measure of chaos before or after the sealing. Best case scenario, Kumo and Iwa would turn on each other, suspecting the other of betrayal, and would fight each other instead of allying against Konoha. Per canon, that didn't happen.
** In a round-about way, Minato for Sakumo's death. If he didn't teleport back to the Kumo base, find the information about the Iwa-Kumo jinchurikki deal, the Hokage would never send Sakumo out there to intercept the deal, and Sakumo would have never failed that particular mission, slink into depression, and commit suicide.
* NoPeriodsPeriod: Hilariously Averted.
Averted, hilariously.
* {{Nosebleed}}: Minato has this during his fight with Kushina in the chunin exam.Chunin Exam.



* OffstageVillainy: The "reformists" Kushina keeps talking about who were partially responsible for Uzushiogakure's demise. We never meet them, or hear much about them except from Kushina's point of view.



* OneSteveLimit: There are several Yoshino here, including Shikaku's eventual wife, and one of Minato's girlfriends.



** In-universe: Minato gains this reputation from his assassination of General Akuze. He finds the tall-tales that sprung up from that ridiculous but never manages to shake that reputation, even as late as his post near Kumo.



* PrisonEpisode: The second half of chapter 20. See TrojanPrisoner for more details.



** In-universe: Jiraiya grouches to Minato in a letter over his Sannin title, wanting something more bombastic like "The Gallant Jiraiya" instead.



* TrojanPrisoner: [[spoiler:Minato]] intentionally let himself get caught by the Kumo forces, and was able to leave at any moment. He only stayed to collect as much information as he needed. He even [[teleports back into it after leaving to gather more information.]]

* GroinAttack: It's heavily implied by Kushina in Chapter 6 that Big J lost "it" during a simple delivery mission, alongside his eye and arm, with his other three teammates killed during the mission. Young, innocent Minato doesn't understand what Kushina means by "it", and just pretends to.

Added DiffLines:

* SomebodyDoesntLoveRaymond: Minato spends many chapters sulking over the fact that Sakumo dislikes him. Him just being an elite ninja would be one thing, but him being Kushina's teacher (and the closest thing she has to a father-figure) makes it all the worse for him.
