History WhatAnIdiot / Naruto

'''You'd Expect:''' Sakura to punch him, make him go away, and maybe vent a little.
'''Instead:''' She rants about how orphans become delinquents because they don't have parents to discipline them '''to Sasuke.''' Naturally, this does not go over well with Sasuke.

* Then, Naruto fights Pain.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Pain to pull the Naraka Path away from battle. The only combat-efficient move that Path could do would result in his opponent's death. And it's an interrogation move. Considering Naruto is a Jinchuriki, that would majorly screw up Akatsuki's plan. Plus, the Naraka Path could revive any of the other paths should they be disabled in battle. So, pull him from battle, and as soon as Naruto kills one of the other paths, have the Naraka Path recover the body behind Naruto's back, go into hiding, and ressurect the body ''there.''\\
'''Instead:''' '''He's out in the open doing fuck-all except for reviving one path!''' And then he gets killed off rather easily.
* [[spoiler: Nagato]]/Pain has another pretty big one. It's plainly evident for all to see that he could have succeeded in kidnapping Naruto at one point, and indeed that was the entire goal of him going to Konoha in the first place.\\

'''Instead:''' For reasons unknown to man he decides to go challenge Gaara, a guy he's seen personally crush and cripple Rock Lee and gets killed in ten seconds, not only making his realization pointless but also wasting a character who could've been a wildcard for people to not know whose side is he on.

'''Instead:''' She just has him restrained, and forcibly taken to the prison. As a result, Naruto believes that someone's trying to get him out of Konoha to weaken it, and spends more time trying to break out of the prison (and getting shut in solitary confinement for it) than looking for the MacGuffin, making Tsunade's actions near-pointless. That, and her actions would have probably convinced someone other than [[TheMessiah Naruto]] to [[FaceHeelTurn defect]], on the basis that she'd apparently sold him out.

'''You'd Expect:''' Tsunade to assure Naruto that she knows that he's not guilty, and give him a mission to play along with the accusations, and go to Blood Prison, and destroy the MacGuffin. It's not like he'll mind such a mission, given his patriotism.\\

'''Instead:''' Tobi just leaves Naruto alone for 13 years instead of actually trying to capture him. Then sends Itachi and Kisame to try once, then ignores him for 3+ years, particularly while he's out in the world with only Jiraiya to protect him. Then again, the two of them might have just been staying off of his radar and hiding from him, making the Akatsuki's job much harder.\\

* From the fifth movie, Naruto is framed for attempting to assasinate a number of important ninja from various nations, including the Raikage himself. Tsunade knows that Naruto's innocent, but decides to send him to Blood Prison, due to the fact that there's a MacGuffin there that Konoha wants destroyed.\\

* Naruto notices something strange about Obito after he had reappeared on top of the [[EldritchAbomination Ten-Tails]] head as Minato and Sasuke both charge in.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Minato and Sasuke to listen to him when he yells 'WAIT!', given Naruto has fought a Rinnegan user far longer than they've had and has far more experience with current Obito's way of thinking than Minato.\\
'''Instead:''' Both Minato and Sasuke ignore his 'wait' and attack Obito on top of the Ten-Tails head, both even landing on top after Minato slashes Obito apart with his kunai.\\
'''Result:''' Obito completes the technique he needed to do to seal the Ten-Tails into himself, nearly consuming Minato and Sasuke. Naruto has to save both for their LeeroyJenkins moment.

'''You'd Expect:''' Him to answer truthfully; she isn't (at this point).\\
'''Instead:''' [[BlatantLies He says that she is]]. Sakura [[MegatonPunch hits (or attempts) to hit him]] on both occasions. Even if she wasn't in earshot, lying about your status with someone is not good for your relationship.

'''Instead''': He decides to return to life, which will inevitably lead to his death, probably at the hands of Naruto. Admittedly, returning to life is part of his plan, but it would be a good idea to wipe out all resistance now while he's still immortal and always regenerating.

* From the sixth movie:

'''Response 2:''' "Sorry Naruto, but you're still too *insert flaws here*, and you can't be a jonin with that. But if you can sort that out, I'll consider it."\\
'''Instead:''' ''(quite callously)'' "No, I won't. You have to become a chunin first. You may have saved the village from Pain, but we're not going to give you special treatment." It comes off as very mean spirited of him, since Naruto hasn't done anything to justify Iruka being angry at him lately, nor did he ask for any special treatment, just a letter of recommendation which the rest of the Konoha 11 are apparently all getting. It's an idiot moment because Naruto was already feeling a bit depressed.

'''Result:''' Kakashi handily defeats [[spoiler:Obito]] who ends up with a large hole in his chest. After Madara notices [[spoiler:Obito]]'s critical condition, he proceeds to force [[spoiler:Obito]] to use the Rinne Tensei, a jutsu which would kill [[spoiler:Obito]].

'''FridgeHorror''': This becomes very jarring in the movie Road To Ninja. When Sakura is praised as hero's daughter.

'''Instead:''' He tells Sasuke that he was responsible for the attack, and makes himself out to be a monster, before running. He does this in order to give Sasuke motivation to hunt him down, kill him, and therefore redeem the Uchiha.\\

'''Instead:''' Tobi just leaves Naruto alone for 13 years instead of actually trying to capture him. Then sends Itachi and Kisame to try once, then ignores him for 3+ years, particularly while he's out in the world with only Jiraiya to protect him.

'''You'd Expect:''' Tobi to show up at any time during Naruto's childhood, capture the defenseless child (remember, Naruto was alone most of his life, Iruka and others acknowledging him is a major part of his story arc), and either extract the Kyuubi to use as a weapon, or hold him until the Kyuubi is necessary.\\

'''Addendum:''' Obviously this applies to the other 8 Jinchuriki as well, making Akatsuki ultimately totally superfluous in nearly every possible way.

* [[spoiler:Obito, the BigBad,]] clearly wants to carry out his [[spoiler:Eye of the Moon]] plan and is currently fighting a one-on-one battle against [[spoiler:Kakashi]].\\
'''You'd Expect''': That in order to proceed with his plan, [[spoiler:Obito]] would finish [[spoiler:Kakashi]] off as quick as possible by ''any'' means necessary. After all, [[spoiler:Obito]] has [[spoiler:Wood Release, the [[StoryBreakerPower Rinnegan]], and a Mangekyo Sharingan which allows him to be intangible]].\\
'''Instead''': He chooses to fight in the [[spoiler:Kamui Dimension]] where he is unable to use his [[spoiler:intangible]] ability, meaning he's fighting without the advantage of having a [[spoiler:Mangekyo Sharingan]]. In addition, he uses neither his [[spoiler:Wood Release or Rinnegan]] ''at all''.
'''What Happens''': Kakashi handily defeats Obito who ends up with a large hole in his chest. After Madara notices Obito's critical condition, he proceeds to force Obito to use the Rinne Tensei, a jutsu which would kill Obito.

* [[spoiler: Madara]] is an immortal infinitely regenerating zombie who is demonstrably superior to literally everyone on the field that isn't named [[spoiler: Hashirama]]. Put together.\\
'''You'd Expect''': He would use this to his advantage and murder the shit out of anyone and everyone present, just in case.\\
'''Instead''': He decides to return to life, which will inevitably lead to his death, probably at the hands of Naruto.

'''Instead:''' [[KickTheDog They start talking about Sakura's lack of tidyness, and her poor temper, and say that because of this, she'll just cause trouble for the higher-ups if she's promoted, within earshot of several of her comrades, even when it's clear that Sakura's]] [[DudeNotFunny not amused]]. And they act bewildered when Sakura tells them to shut up, and later storms out of the house in a rage.

'''Instead:''' [[BlatantLies He says that she is]]. Sakura [[MegatonPuch hits (or attempts) to hit him]] on both occasions. Even if she wasn't in earshot, lying about your status with someone is not good for your relationship.

'''Or:''' He could try to sabotage Orochimaru's plans by going to Zaku and Kin at the Hospital after the drawings and getting them out of there before they are retrieved by him. With them gone Orochimaru has no people to use for Edo Tensei and he has to find new sacrifices.
