8
9	!!This series provides examples of:
10	* [[ActionFilmQuietDramaScene Action Story Quiet Drama Scene]]: Partway through the Chunin Exam Arc, one chapter is almost completely devoted the conversations between two teams who team up to share sentry duties overnight.
11	* ActionGirl: Hinata becomes this.
12	* AmbiguousGender: Haku's gender is never revealed in the story. Even the Author's Note about it doesn't shed any light on it.
13	* AnArmAndALeg: in the invasion of Konoha, [[spoiler:Sarutobi]] loses an arm and [[spoiler:Asuma]] loses a leg. They get puppet replacements.
14	* BadassNormal:
15	** Rock Lee, who can slice off people's clothing without touching their skin!
16	** Becomes even more badass when it's revealed that opening the third gate (which he can do) makes him immune to even genjutsu from the ''Mangekyo''.
17	* BrickJoke: Naruto gives Hanabi piggy-backs so that it looks like she's flying. Several chapters later, he uses invisible clones to make it look like his entire team can [[LevitatingLotusPosition sit on thin air]].
18	* DefeatByModesty: subverted; Lee's opponent concedes because the fact that he cut off most of her clothes, without injuring her, proves that he's more skilled than she is.
19	* DualWielding: Lee, with two katana
20	* DungeonBypass: Team 7 in the Forest of Death. All the other teams started out with one scroll and needed to get a second, they had ''three'' and just needed to reach the tower.
21	* EvilLaugh: Kiba is appreciative of Anko's
22	* ExactWords: Orochimaru ordered the revived Tobirama to destroy the Hokage's tower. [[spoiler:He did so by growing a tree through it, complete with stairways and working bathrooms, which created a new tower.]]
23	* {{Fanservice}}: ROCK LEE, of all people, provides this in the Chunin Exams when he manages to [[ClothingDamage disrobe his opponent]] using katanas. Ironically, he has no idea about [[InnocentInnuendo why it worked]].
24	* FlashStep: Naruto uses his clones to ''appear'' to be able to do this. He and an Uchiha renowned for doing it take advantage of this to prank the audience at the Chunin Finals.
25	* ForWantOfANail: Naruto's apparent death changes the relative village strengths just enough that the Uchiha don't launch their planned coup and remain loyal to the village. This leads to Itachi [[spoiler:becoming the sensei of Team 7]] and Orochimaru [[spoiler:remaining a member of the Akatsuki]].
26	* FourIsDeath: Kankuro grumbles about it being an omen when he picks the number 4 out of a box.
27	* GravityMaster: Pain uses this for his first strike, destroying a quarter of Konoha and effectively [[spoiler: wiping out the Uchiha clan.]]
28	* GroinAttack: How Naruto saves a young Hinata from being kidnapped.
29	* ICantSeeMyself: After first turning invisible, Naruto [[NoodleIncident freaks out]]. Not many details are given.
30	* InvisibleStreaker: Played with. Naruto's invisibility affects only his body and he only has a few items of clothing that were turned invisible and which he is outgrowing, but he later gains special clothes that he can turn invisible with his chakra.
31	* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Zabuza, upon being informed [[spoiler:that Gato has been killed]]. Rather than seek to continue his mission, he simply leaves.
32	* MagicalEye: Although the Sharingan and the Byakugan both feature, neither can see Naruto in their normal states. The Sharingan needs to be Mangekyo level while the Byakugan needs to be exposed to Naruto's chakra for a prolonged period. [[spoiler:Of course, the Rin'negan has no trouble at all seeing him.]]
33	* MillionToOneChance: The combination of circumstances that turn Naruto invisible turns out to be [[spoiler:687,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 to 1!]] It's not gonna happen again any time soon, folks!
34	* MindScrew: Naruto uses this to win against Kankuro, convincing the Suna puppeteer that he's up against a puppet ''master'' via henged shadow clones.
35	* MundaneUtility: the secret to reducing Kage-level paperwork? [[spoiler:Kage Bunshin]]
36	* NoFaceUnderTheMask: Naruto wears his mask to hide the fact that he is completely invisible. He has a face, just not one that anyone can see, making him this in practice.
37	* NotSoImaginaryFriend: Naruto, after the Hyuuga clan finds out about him.
38	* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: [[spoiler:Hiashi Hyuuga]] of all people when four people use [[spoiler: a version of the Hiraishin]] to appear in his office without warning. He denies having done so almost instantly.
39	* ShoutOut: To ''Fanfic/YetAgainWithALittleExtraHelp'', with the "seventh sense"
40	* SparedByTheAdaptation: Hizashi (Neji's father), Zabuza, Haku, pretty much all of the Uchiha as the massacre never happened [[spoiler:at least not until the invasion]], and [[spoiler:Tsuchi Kin]]
41	* StealthHiBye: discussed and invoked by Itachi.
42	--> "Most ninja do it."
43	* ThatCameOutWrong:
44	-->'''Jiraiya''' (to Hinata and Naruto): I'll leave you two in a hotel room and... okay, that doesn't sound right. (...) There's just no way to phrase it that doesn't make me sound like a pimp, is there?
45	* TheBlank: Naruto is this in two different ways. The first is his mask (which has no distinguishing features), then there's the fact that under the mask, he's invisible and so his face can't be seen anyway.
46	* TookALevelInBadass: holy cow, Hinata; Kiba, to a lesser degree
47	* TookALevelInKindness:
48	** [[spoiler:Kurama]] wants to protect Hanabi
49	** More like "prevented from taking a level in jerkass", but Neji is ''substantially'' nicer here, thanks to his unpleasant backstory being avoided
50	* {{Troll}}:
51	** The Author with the note about Haku's gender
52	--> Afternote – You may have noticed that I didn’t mention Haku’s gender. That was an oversight on my part, so I’ll correct it now. Haku is
53	** Haku themself; they wear chakra-enhanced clothing that counters dojutsu, so ''nobody'' can tell if they're male or female
54	* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:Uchiha Naka]] kills most of [[spoiler:his surviving clan]], explicitly including one child
