It is a ForWantOfANail fic, with the divergence point being that Naruto becomes friends with Hinata and Shikamaru during the Academy. The Sandaime Hokage notices this, and subsequently places the three together as a genin team. Their sensei is the rather unusual choice of Anko. The story slowly spirals outward from there, with many marked changes from the original canon. One of the fic's strongest points is the usage of AscendedExtra, as many minor or background characters play a prominent role.

Added DiffLines:
* PoorCommunicationKills: PlayedForLaughs: Anko first meets her students by bursting into the Academy room with her trademark banner... and then Iruka sheepishly tells her she wasn't supposed to do that for another hour. Later on in an omake, Anko rushes in late to a meeting about the Chunnin Exams, only to be told that she isn't a proctor due to having participating students.

!![True Potential] contains examples of:
* AdaptationalBadass: Quite a few, though more as a result of changed circumstances:
** Dosu is rather notable, as his canonical history amounts to [[CurbStompBattle curbstomping]] Lee and then getting one-shotted by Gaara. This time, he's up against Gaara in the preliminaries. Gaara's cocky and doesn't take him seriously. Dosu is quick to show that sand can't block sound, giving Gaara a fairly close fight. [[spoiler:While he loses, he does goes on to [[HeelFaceTurn defect]] to Konoha]].
** Hidan may turn into one, as the [[WordOfGod author has stated his belief]] that he was easily the weakest Akatsuki. As such, after a humiliating defeat at the hands of Naruto, Sakura, and Kiba, Hidan vows to train harder. And this happens prior to the TimeSkip...
* Anticlimax: [[spoiler: [[TheJuggernaut Kimimaro]]]] is unceremoniously killed off by Kabuto while in a coma, having never even encountered the heroes.
* BloodKnight: Anko has this, as befitting someone working in Torture & Interrogation. However, she also manages to combine it with GenkiGirl, which greatly unnerves her students.
* CurbStompBattle: During the Konoha Invasion, Hiruzen has to face the [[EliteMooks Sound Four]] in their full-power Cursed forms. [[spoiler: It's so one-sided as to be a ForegoneConclusion, with Tayuya only surviving due to Hiruzen suspecting her lineage]].
* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler: Oorchimaru, Baki]].
* DeathFakedForYou: [[spoiler: After being freed from Tobi's mind control, Yagura is given the identity of Kamui, a rebel shinobi who was stationed in Kirigakure as a spy for Mei. Being rather religious, he's not too happy with the name, but goes along with it]].
* HannibalLecture: The brutal Kiri bloodline exectioner Karitoriki gives one to Shikamaru while [[spoiler: Shikamaru prepares to kill Karitoriki via [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill immobilizing him with shadow jutsu, and then sticking explosive tags all over his body]]. The executioner taunts him, gleefully pointing out that Shikamaru is brutally killing him in revenge for his earlier murder of bloodline users. Karitoriki kills those with bloodlines due to one of them murdering his family when he was young. Thus, he proclaims that [[NotSoDifferent he and Shikamaru are exactly the same]], [[LaughingMad laughing manically]] as Shikamaru detonates the tags just to stop his taunting]].
* HeroicBSOD: Shikamaru has one after the above HannibalLecture. It takes several chapters and a pep talk with his team and family for Shikamaru to get over it.
* [[SirSwearsALot Lady Swears-a-Lot]]: Anko is one of these, much to Hinata's discomfort. Also Tayuya. To a lesser degree, Katsumi, and her teammate Hanabi habitually corrects her.
* MythologyGag: Shikamaru "loses" his match with Saskuke the exact same way he "lost" to Temari.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: At several times in the story, important events such as Naruto learning the Rasengan or [[spoiler: Neji learning the truth about his father]] are skipped over or only alluded to. [[WordOfGod According to the author]], these moments occur more or less identically to canon, and he felt he couldn't add anything meaningful to those scenes.
* PungeonMaster: [[spoiler: Naruto]]'s student Kanji is one, much to his teammates' dismay.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Contrary to his [[AbusiveParents usual]] depiction in fanon, Hiashi Hyuuga is one. While he begins distant as usual, his views begin to change during the pitched match between Neji and Hinata. After the Invasion, he personally begins training the two, in hopes of convincing the clan elders to change traditions on the Cursed Seal.
* RelationshipUpgrade: As it turns out, Yagura and Mei were quite close prior to the former's appointment as Mizukage, and rumors suggested that they were going to marry. However, then [[BigBad Tobi]] mind-controlled Yagura, and Mei began to lead the rebellion against him. [[spoiler: This is one of the primary reasons why Yagura's survival is kept top-secret]].
* RightForTheWrongReasons: An invoked trope. [[spoiler: After the Kiri invasion, Yagura's survival is kept as an S-class secret. However, gossip is already spreading that Naruto helped to kill him, and Hiruzen is well aware that Naruto won't be able to entirely keep in his discomfort at maintaining the lie. Instead, he suggests that Naruto admit discomfort due to "killing" a fellow jinchuuriki. This seems to work so far]].
* SonicStunner: Dosu has his Melody Gauntlet as in canon. The match against a cocky Gaara demonstrates that it can ignore his otherwise-invulnerable sand.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Zabuza, Haku, Dosu, Tayuya, Hiruzen, Yagura]].
* SummonMagic: The snakes eventually allow Anko to pass on the snake summoning contract to one of her students. She eventually picks [[spoiler: Hinata]].
* TheSpymaster: After [[spoiler: Jirarya is appointed as Godaime Hokage, he appoints [[DefectorFromDecadence Tayuya]] as his successor]].
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Naruto and ramen, as always, but also Anko and dango. The similarity is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] several times.
* TrainingFromHell: Anko is quite fond of this. Most of the time, her students are completely exhausted by the end.
The fic is Ongoing, currently sitting at over half a million words and counting.
