* Some time after Itachi joins the Akatsuki, Orochimaru tries to possess Itachi's body for his Mangekyou Sharingan. He loves the idea of having a regular sharingan for its jutsu copying abilities, so having the "special" variant is too good to pass up. Blindness is an issue, but Orochimaru can just switch to another body when it gives out, having learned many jutsu, even if it means he's lost Itachi's powers doing so, but still has his healthy sight and the jutsu he would learn. So far, so good.
'''You'd Expect:''' Knowing that Itachi slaughtered the Uchiha Clan, even at night, means he slaughtered the Leaf Police force, and would take absolutely every precaution as for all Orochimaru knows, and can reasonably presume, this is one of the strongest people he has ever met, even including Danzo, The leader of the Akatsuki, and his fellow teammates. Thus, you'd expect for him to switch to the most powerful body he has (or one who's properties could counter Itachi's) or attack while his current one isn't decaying. You would also expect him to attack fast and without
'''Instead:''' He tries a very slow sneak attack on Itachi while his body is about to give out, with no backup of any kind, no clone substitutions, no genjutsu counters prepared or attempted, and essentially presuming that Itachi was a scrub.
'''Result:''' Orochimaru is humiliated by Itachi, and gets his hand lopped off. Meanwhile, the described strategy (or something similar) likely would've worked, as the Akatsuki's leader, Pain, who most would agree is comparable or more powerful than Itachi, fights Jiraiya, who Orochimaru always derided, and although he wins, Jiraiya put up a hell of a fight, and he admits that if not for the gap in knowledge between them (having known everything about Jiraiya except his Sage Mode powers, while Jiraiya knew absolutely nothing about Pain at the start except some connection to Konan, and not knowing what the Rinnegan can do beyond reasonably assuming it was a powerful eye).

'''Result:''' Naruto gets seriously wounded and [[NotGoodWithRejection his heart gets broken]] thinking that Hinata betrayed him and stopped loving him. He then goes into a four-day HeroicBSOD giving up on everything. Meanwhile, Hinata gets caught red-handed by the BigBad trying to destroy his WeaponOfMassDestruction, she gets turned into one of his puppets and tearfully regrets about breaking Naruto’s heart, which not only it was a big mistake, but it was idiotic as well. And THEN it turns out that [[DidntThinkThisThrough her power alone is not enough to destroy the Tenseigan anyway]]. Really, it was only because of a bit of ContrivedCoincidence that the world didn't get destroyed.

'''Instead:''' He tells them the truth (except Fourth Hokage's son part), forbids people to talk about it and then does nothing as Naruto experiences the worst childhood ever. Even worse, he does nothing to help make Naruto's life better yet has the gall to feel guilty about it.

'''Although:''' Supplementary materials reveal that Danzo leaked Naruto's status as the host of the Nine-Tails in order to make Konoha watchful regarding the young boy, and any further interference might have sent Naruto into Danzo's influence.

Ship Sinking has been redefined to require in-universe acknowledgment for both the possibility of the couple and the ship sinking itself. It is also one specific moment that completely and permanently ends all possibility of the couple getting together or back together and does not include WoG.


'''Instead:''' He continues to ask her, and she continues to turn him down. [[ShipSinking He does finally stop completely after Chapter 469]], but he really should've stopped ''long'' before that.

'''You'd Expect:''' Danzo, knowing his adversary is well above Orochimaru's threat level (the latter of which had almost destroyed the village, albeit again without Danzo helping), to send all available members of ANBU to fight against Danzo. Even if he wants to take Tsunade's spot as Hokage, ANBU is not more powerful than the rest of the leaf, and trying to take power after Pain has nearly destroyed the village could very easily arouse the question of "where were you before!?". Even if he isn't willing to fight himself due to what that could expose, he could try to use Kotoamatsukami to take control of Konan or maybe one of the Paths of Pain. He should also know that Tsunade and Kakashi (the most powerful ninja in the village, the former of whom is severely weakened due to trying to minimize Katsuyu, and the latter of which, while powerful, is Jiraiya's inferior and thus Pain's). \\
