History Fanfic / WarOfTheBiju

* SempaiKohai: After their respective [[HeelFaceTurn Heel-Face Turns]], both Nagato and Konan address Naruto as their kohai, fondly acknowledging him as their brother student and junior.

* SinisterScythe: Rin's WeaponOfChoice in the ''Kakashi Hiden'' side story.

* FiveManBand: The Five Kage, as the heads of the Allied Shinobi Forces.
** TheHero[=/=]TheLeader: Naruto, as Hokage. Without Danzo's actions to destroy Konoha's political reputation, Naruto is easily declared the Supreme Leader of the Allied Shinobi Forces, with support from both A and Gaara. When he's forced to enter the battlefield after his location is discovered, not only does he turn the tide of every battle in the war, but also serves as a massive morale booster for the army.
** TheLancer: A and Gaara share this interchangeably. With Naruto hiding on Turtle Island training for the beginning of the war, he installs A in his place to head the alliance until he returns. Gaara is the Regimental Commander, so that means he leads all the ground forces directly, and is also the closest to Naruto besides Tsunade.
** TheSmartGuy: Tsunade (by virtue of Shikaku) and Onoki, the most experienced of all of the Five Kage.
** TheBigGuy: They all qualify, but in pure physical strength it's a toss up between Onoki and Tsunade, with A a close third.
** TheChick: Mei is the one who deals with matters not directly related to the war effort -- such as guarding the Daimyos and aiding Onoki when Turtle Island is attacked by Edo Tensei. Conversely, Gaara could also count as TheHeart, since it was him who united the ground forces with his heartfelt, passionate speech.
** SixthRanger: Mifune, who is not one of the Five Kage (or even a shinobi, for that matter) but still a head of state that is aiding in the war effort as General of the Fifth Division.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Boy does Naruto show he deserves the Hokage post by [[spoiler: beating Sasuke, breaking 'Madara's' mask, and defeating Kyubi in one on one combat]].

The last chapter was posted on March 14, 2020, bringing the story to completion at 41 chapters and 376K words. However, the author promised that several sequels would follow. The first of them, based on ''LightNovel/KakashiHidenLightningInTheIcySky'', can be found [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13639589/1/War-of-the-Biju-Kakashi-Hiden-Battle-in-the-Sky here]].

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** When he receives the news about Team Taka’s attempt to capture Killer B, Naruto accepted that what Sasuke did is unacceptable and chooses to put him in the bingo books. As much as he would like to keep his promise and bring Sasuke back, he is now Hokage and thus cannot put any of his personal desires ahead of the village.
** When Sasuke joins the Allied Forces after Naruto beats him, this puts the Alliance on edge, especially those from Konoha, as Sasuke is a wanted criminal who is last seen being on the same side as Tobi.
** While Naruto and Sasuke have reached the same level of strength as Hashirama and Madara in their primes, their lack of experience means they're still inferior combatants compared to the latter two.
** Danzo, on top of the body modifications he had in canon, has even more Hashirama DNA grafted into him (to the point that it makes almost 90% of his body), and a [[spoiler:''[[StoryBreakerPower Rinnegan]]'' transplant]]. So, when he fights Sasuke, he should crush him like a bug, right? And indeed, the fight goes his way...at first. Then Sasuke gains the upper hand. Because, as Sasuke himself points out, no amount of body modifications is going to change the fact that Danzo is in his ''seventies'' and can't compete with somebody almost as strong who is in his prime. On top of that, Danzo isn't the original wielder of those Bloodline Limits, so he can't use them as good as the people who were born with them, and drain his power very quickly, contributing to Danzo getting exhausted even quicker.
** Unlike in canon where he ultimately got a slap on the wrist, Sasuke ended up being punished for his actions prior to the War after it ended, first by being imprisoned and then being required to spend time in the Land of Iron by working for the families of the samurais that he killed during the Gokage Summit.
** While they managed to save most of the population and even rebuild their village, Kumogakure is currently a shadow of what it once was due to the Land of Lightning suffering the most damage from the war. Most of the civilian refugees are fleeing to other countries (specifically, the Land of Fire) to resettle instead of staying, which is severely hampering Kumo's economy. While the other villages are doing their best to help, WordOfGod notes that, as things currently are, Kumo is now only included with the Five Great Nations due to a combination of tradition and their contributions to the war.

* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: This is one of the reasons why Hinata refuses to kill Hideki, the son of Kumo’s previous Head Ninja. She cites that the Allied Forces need every single able person in order to fight the Akatsuki.

** [[spoiler: Sakura defeats Pakura, who is in this continuity a former ''Godaime Kazekage candidate'', [[KnifeNut Ameyuri Ringo]], and with Kakashi's and Monga's help she defeats the fully transformed [[MakingASplash Yondaime Mizukage]] Yagura herself!]]

* AdaptationalSkimpiness: Hinata's new outfit in the first interquel is described as sleveless top, revealing some cleavage and [[BareYourMidriff exposing some of her stomach]] that replaces her old coat, as well as [[WhoWearsShortShorts very short shorts]] replacing her old pants.

* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:The real Madara]] joins the Allied Forces in fighting against Tobi.

* ProperlyParanoid: The fact that Shin helped Rahyō with his Sharingan's Space-Time ninjutsu has not gone unnoticed by Minato, who decided to send Konan to assist Rin and Kakashi in guarding the Tobishachimaru during its maiden voyage, correcting deducing that the Ryūha Armament Alliance will be attacking the vessel and Minato himself cannot go out of a belief that his arrival could cause a scene.

** Madara's reaction upon finding out that Tobi orchestrated the Uchiha Massacre, being something that Madara neither knew nor approved. He's so enraged, he calls a truce with Sasuke (whom he was fighting against) so he can deal with Tobi first.

* SoleSurvivor: In the sequel, it's revealed that [[spoiler:Minato and Kushina are the sole survivors of the graduates of their Academy class. Everyone else in their generation either died prior to the war or during it. Understandably, this hits them both hard]].

* NotSoDifferent: Danzō believes he and Sasuke are this, as from his POV, both are guided by their anger and hatred and are willing to commit less than savory methods to accomplish their goals. He even goes as far to name Sasuke as his successor as the "Shinobi of Darkness".

* AdaptedOut: Kaguya Ōtsutsuki doesn’t get revived during the War, and her role as the final villain is supplanted by Tobimaru.

!! Tropes this fic displays:

** [[spoiler:With the deaths of the Daimyos, all five Kage are now in charge of their respective countries until the Daimyos' successors can be officially declared]].

* ArchEnemy: Tobi[[spoiler:maru]] is a HateSink despised throughout the shinobi world, yet no one hates him more than Team 7. He caused the Kyuubi attack on Konoha, leading to the deaths of Naruto's parents (one of whom was Kakashi's sensei), thus being the cause of both Naruto's shitty childhood ''and'' the tensions between the Uchiha Clan and the village, the latter of which led to the Uchiha Clan Massacre that destroyed ''Sasuke's'' childhood and started him on the dark path that led to him abandoning his team and Konoha as a whole. Later on, it's revealed that he murdered Obito and stole Obito's remaining eye, and [spoiler:revived Kushina and kept her as his prisoner for years]]. By the time of the FinalBattle, every member of Team 7 wants him dead, and all four play pivotal roles in his final defeat.
