Line #24 Fanfic/HeHadNoFingers


1	A ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'' fan-fiction written by Gleam.
2
3	Repainting the tale of the [[EldritchAbomination Tailed Beasts]] in the vein of a CosmicHorrorStory. Naruto, as a [[SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan Jinchuriki]], is treated as Konoha's [[PersonOfMassDestruction "ace in the hole"]] in the outcome of an inevitable ninja war. This works in theory until [[MadGod Kyuubi]] starts to take over Naruto's mind and then body. Things just keep going [[FromBadToWorse getting worse and worse]] from there.
4
5	Can be read [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4633752/1/He_Had_No_Fingers here]], preferably in broad daylight... though that doesn't help in the least.
6
7	Has a dormant [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4927090/1/His_Clattering_Grip sequel]] and an equally terrifying [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6752797/1/rs_deiwoske companion piece]].
8	----
9	!!''He Had No Fingers'' provides examples of:
10	* AbandonedPlayground: Naruto lives in the newly christened [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Torture and Interrogation Department]].
11	* TheAdjectivalMan: Niki-Jiki, the Sunflower Man.
12	* AlienGeometries: Naruto/Niki-Jiki's hideout.
13	** Konoha is implied to be completely and utterly screwed with simply because of Dantalion existing.
14	* AndIMustScream: This happens to everyone.
15	* BadassNormal: The Hokage. [[spoiler: This doesn't keep him from getting assimilated, though.]]
16	** And [[ActionGirl Cardinal]], being the only apparent survivor.
17	* BellyMouth: Naruto has this. Kakashi learns [[spoiler: much, much too late.]]
18	* TheBlank: Niki-Jiki has a sunflower collar and a completely smooth, featureless face.
19	* BodyAndHost: Naruto and [[spoiler: Kyuubi]]. Later degenerates into an [[EmptyShell Empty Shell]].
20	* BodyHorror:
21	** As the name implies, [[spoiler: Kyuubi]]'s chakra is so corrupting Naruto can instantly heal, but as a result [[HarmfulHealing the injury ends up covering itself in an armour full of]] chitin. Naruto is unable to correctly grip a kunai knife by [[spoiler: chapter five]].
22	** [[LudicrousGibs What happens to Kakashi]], which causes Sakura to [[GoMadFromTheRevelation quit being a ninja altogether]].
23	* CorpseLand: Made out of plants with hundreds of thousands of corpses underneath them. In chapter eight, Naruto is able to reach into foliage and remove [[spoiler: a mummified head, perfectly preserved.]]
24	* TheCorruption: First happens in [[spoiler: chapter 4, where 27 kids at the orphanage started puking marbles after they died of some "blight". Later on, this gets to Ms Jaijiro (the matron) and it's not pretty--She's found very skinny, playing with marbles, and starves to death six weeks later]]
25	** Naruto gets rotated around the [=ANBU=] to keep this from happening.
26	* CreepyChild: Naruto, and how!
27	** When the physical manifestation of a demon able to kill people by ''existing'' is taken aback by you, you're doing something horribly right.
28	* DarkerAndEdgier: Oh, a Jinchuriki-cast-as-eldritch-abomination story? Nothing new, let's see the first chapter- OHMYGOD.
29	* DemonicDummy: Niki-Jiki.
30	* EverybodysDeadDave: [[spoiler: Jiraiya]] is in for a rude awakening.
31	* GhostCity: Happens to Konohagakure.
32	* HarbingerOfImpendingDoom: '''Naruto'''.
33	* HumanoidAbomination: And let's leave it at that.
34	* ItCanThink: Played with in a witty and chilling manner.
35	** Niki-Jiki is not just a PeoplePuppet, but it's sentient and able to discern right from wrong. [[HorrifyingTheHorror And it's scared]].
36	* NonMaliciousMonster: Naruto, in a way. A lot of what happened with him is mostly out of instinct ([[spoiler:like what happened with Kakashi]]) than anything else.
37	* TooDumbToLive:
38	** [[spoiler: That [=ANBU=] who insulted Naruto some time in chapter 2 did not make the smartest move on that, as Naruto put a two foot hole in him]].
39	** In chapter three, this gets lampshaded where the narration says, [[spoiler:"Naruto loved playing marbles. No one was stupid enough to tell him no."]]
40	** In general, getting Naruto upset is ''not'' a good idea, even if you don't mean to, as [[spoiler: Cardinal learned the hard way. The medics were wondering how she survived getting spirals cut into her head.]].
