Line #10 Webcomic/ProjectNaruko


1	Thanks to the Sexy no Jutsu, ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' has time and again been the target of RuleSixtyThree. Naruto's transformation has been dubbed '[[FanNickname Naruko]]' and is even considered a separate character by many fans.
2
3	''[[http://projectnaruko.deviantart.com/ Project Naruko]]'' takes this several steps further, {{Gender Flip}}ping the entire cast.
4
5	Set in an AlternateUniverse, Pritz's ''Project Naruko'' explores a reality where everyone was born the opposite gender of what they were in {{Canon}}. The project consists of Character Sheets, short comics and the occasional drabble. Some of the material is {{NSFW}}.
6
7	----
8	!!This FanWork contains examples of:
9
10	%%* ACupAngst: Nejiko has a bit of this, due to being on the same team as Giru-sensei and Leigh.
11	* [[AloofBigBrother Aloof Older Sister]]: Sasuko takes on this role with Naruko, contracted with Sakuro acting like a BigBrotherBully towards his blonde teammate.
12	* AttemptedRape: The enemy ninja who captured Leigh on a mission were about to take things this far, and were stopped only by Nejiko stepping in.
13	%%* AuthorAppeal
14	* BetterWithNonHumanCompany: Shina relates much easier to her kikai than she does her peers. While she tries to adapt the methods used by bugs to human relationships, it doesn't work very well.
15	* {{Bifauxnen}}: Nejiko, [[DudeLooksLikeALady unsurprisingly]]. Tobi also deliberately obfuscates her gender.
16	* BoyishShortHair: Naruko has short-cropped hair, while Leigh has a bob.
17	* BrokenBird: Kakashi. Shika also becomes this following [[spoiler:Asume's death]]; it's explicitly stated that this hardened her heart, and she refuses to show emotion.
18	%%* Character Sheets: Pritz has been working on 'Age Sheets' which show what everyone looks like before and after the TimeSkip. These charts also contain various information, and sketches of key moments in the timeline.
19	* ClingyJealousGirl: Prior to her HeelFaceTurn, Gaara-chan was like this towards her own older brother.
20	* CovertPervert: Inner Sakuro reacts to all sorts of stimuli, much to Sakuro's secret shame -- he's terrified that showing any interest in anyone else will upset Sasuko, despite her disinterest.
21	** Used for HypocriticalHumor in "The Tunnel" with [[spoiler:Kuunai]].
22	* CruelToBeKind: After protecting Leigh in "Cocoon", Nejiko gives her a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. WordOfGod attributes it to this, with Nejiko hoping that she'll stop putting herself in harm's way by giving up her quest to prove herself.
23	* DarkerAndEdgier: While kunoichi are regarded as equals to shinobi in this universe, it's established that this wasn't always the case, and that not everyone fully accepts the new status quo. Attempted rape is implied, and certain StationsOfTheCanon are implied to be more severe -- for instance, Sakuno [[ImportantHaircut cutting his hair]] [[{{Squick}} involves]] [[spoiler:gouging the back of his neck while trying to cut off Kin's hands entirely]].
24	* DefeatByModesty: ZigZagged [[PlayedForLaughs for laughs]] in Leigh's battle with Gaara; the sand shreds her jumpsuit, but Leigh isn't fazed... until she finally ''notices'' what happened. Then she freaks out, while Giru-sensei encourages her to keep defying it by pointing out [[BuxomBeautyStandard she's still bigger than Gaara]].
25	* DirtyOldWoman: [=JiraJira=] (female!Jiraiya), as shown in this [[http://pritzpritz.deviantart.com/gallery/31408268?offset=24#/d3d2fu3 comic]]
26	* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Sai is so pale she's practically sheet-white.
27	%%* EveryoneIsBi
28	* GenderBentAlternateUniverse: The comic is clearly set in one, where ''every'' character is born the opposite gender to their canon counterparts.
29	* GirlishPigtails: Naruko had these as a child, but cut them to shreds because bullies kept pulling on it all the time.
30	%%* HotterAndSexier
31	* ImportantHaircut: Giru used to have long hair, but cut it short when she vowed to become stronger.
32	* IncestSubtext: Hinted at with the Sand Siblings.
33	* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Giru and Leigh both appear oblivious to the effect their looks can have on others. This is {{Deconstructed}} to a degree, however, as [[spoiler:both have had to cope with rape attempts and are thusly aware they can be seen as lust objects]].
34	* LawOfInverseFertility: Played for tragedy with [[spoiler:Asume and Kuunai]], whose attempts to start a family fail until [[spoiler:Asume, not realizing their recent success, is fatally wounded by Hidane]].
35	* LikeBrotherAndSister: Inou and Choko. However, Inou is also confused about his own affection for her, leading to him teasing and goading her more.
36	* LongHairIsFeminine: Several kunoichi have noticeably longer and/or thicker hair compared to their canon counterparts. Sasuko, for instance, has hair that extends all the way down to her waist while still keeping the top styled like her male counterpart.
37	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Sakuro and Inou's match during the Chuunin Exam.
38	* {{Protectorate}}: Sakuro finds himself in this position for Naruko and Leigh, while resolving to take on the role of protector for Sasuko and the two {{Tomboy}}s.
39	* RapeAsBackstory: Implied in [[spoiler:Giru-sensei]]'s {{Flashback}}.
40	* RealMenWearPink: Yoshimaru, Shika's father.
41	%%* StationsOfTheCanon
42	%%* StatuesqueStunner: Giru-sensei.
43	* {{Stripperiffic}}: Mostly commonly along the lines of SensualSpandex.
44	* TenMinuteRetirement: Following [[spoiler:Asume's death]], [[spoiler:Kuunai]] leaves Konoha out of sheer frustration and grief. [[spoiler:He returns a week later, but retires from active service as per her last request.]]
45	* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Gaara has difficulty grasping positive emotion, equating it to a strange 'heaviness'.
46	* WeightWoe: Though Choko is pretty petite compared to her counterpart Chouji, she's still given a lot of flack over her figure. [[{{Irony}} Ironically]], while viewed as too pudgy for a 'normal' kunoichi, she's actually dangerously underweight by her clan's standards, giving her body image issues from ''both'' sides.
47	* WorldOfActionGirls: By virtue of all of the male characters being women in this universe, most of the kunoichi prove to be quite powerful.
