text: ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7028564/1/Echoes Echoes]]'', by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2825943/Kagaseo Kagaseo]] is a ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' fanfiction where a modification of the seal holding back the Kyuubi has surprising consequences. [[spoiler:It's also something of a crossover with Yet again with a little extra help by Third Fang]].The story begins with a slightly different version of the canon Naruto's fight with Orochimaru in the Land of Grass. However, [[spoiler:Sai betrays the group early]], leading Naruto, renamed "Kazama" to avoid confusion, into a battle with Orochimaru, during which his seal is twisted. This alters the mechanics of the seal, giving Kazama the ability to travel into other worlds, meeting alternate versions of himself, his friends, families, or even enemies. Most prominently featured are Naruko, a female Naruto, Chibaku, one that was trained by Sasori, and Kitsune, one that had [[DemonicPossession some issues with his Kyuubi]].[[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters And more]]. Problem is, the group ends up followed by Madara and two of his duplicates, who want to control Kazama's power. The story contains a deal of artistic license, created to fill in plot gaps that existed in the manga, while the driving force behind the fic is being a DeconstructorFleet - not just from the manga, but moreso certain cliches that appear in Naruto fan fiction. However, being written prior to several revelations in the manga, there are discrepancies. For instance, Madara, the entire trio, actually possesses the abilities that ''Tobi'' had, before [[spoiler:it was revealed that Tobi was Obito Uchiha, and that Madara Uchiha had a largely different powerset]]. There is ''another'' Tobi that joins the trio, but that one has [[spoiler:little to nothing to do with Obito]]. Fortunately, given the premise, these changes tend to work out. The story currently consists of the following story arcs:* ''The Introductory Arc'' ('''Prologue - Ch 4''')* ''The Land of Waves Arc'' ('''Ch 5 - 10''')* ''The Great Chase Arc'' ('''Ch 11 - 21''')* ''The Separation Arc'' ('''Ch 22 - Ch 35''')* ''The Reunion Arc'' ('''Ch 36 - Ch 49''')* ''The War World Arc'' ('''Ch 50 - Epilogue''')[[Characters/{{Echoes}} The Echoes Character Sheets]].As of January 1, 2017 ''Echoes'' is complete. There might be a sequel, but that is unlikely given the author's shift to original fiction.----!!This fanfic provides examples of:* TheAce: The author is a staunch support of AnyoneCanDie, downplaying this trope for the majority of the non-significant cast.* ActionGirl: Haku, Gaara, Yugito, Mei, Naruko, and Izanami.* AffablyEvil: Tsukuyomi has a gentlemanly attitude, while Amaterasu is guided by his own sense of honor, allowing his opponents a fair shot at defeating him, and even congratulating those that face him with honor. This also extends to the masters of the Jashinist Cults, who learned over time that being rude got you nowhere.* TheAlliance: One is being formed by the worlds that the Arashi clans have visited in order to stand against Teikoku.* AlternateSelf: With TheMultiverse being the fics main premise how characters end up very differently is a major theme, with [[TheProtagonist Naruto]], [[BigBad Madara]], [[AscendedExtra Mikoto]], and [[TheUnexpected Zetsu]] getting the most focus. * AndIMustScream: Orochimaru's fate is explained after the Cloudverse arc: [[spoiler:he was erased from existence, with pieces of his consciousness slowly stripped away one after another]]. * AnyoneCanDie: The fic runs through supporting characters like coffee cups. Most of the supporting cast gets killed off, including [[spoiler:Kabuto, Zabuza, Sasori, Kakashi]]...* AntiVillain: N and Five are Type II's. Hanzo is Type III, while Shisui starts out as a Type II becomes a Type III before ending up a Type IV.* ApatheticCitizens: Izanami notes that the reason why Ame is full of idiots dying in droves is because they have all given up.* ArcVillain: [[PeggySue Orochimaru]] and [[KnightTemplar A]]. [[BoomerangBigot Shisui]], [[OmnicidalManiac Kitsune's Kyuubi]], [[TheSociopath Kenta Ayatsuri]], [[WellIntentionedExtremist Hanzo]], [[TheCaligula Yagura]], and [[ShadowDictator Alpha]] are each the villains of their own arcs. * AristocratsAreEvil: The nobility in Amegakure, which [[spoiler:Kazama]] has to deal with after killing their leader and stealing his position.* AssholeVictim: Ame has a disturbingly high amount of these to the point that they could form an army. Every person in power besides Hanzo are perfectly fine with their country dying and their people suffering as long as they get to stay rich and powerful and every civilian is portrayed as an idiotic unsympathetic git who is incapable of running their own lives. It's pretty much impossible to give a crap about them.* AuthorAppeal: ** Epithets: Most perspectives are introduced with these, such as 'The Healing Man', or 'Pure Evil', or 'The Sand Witch'. ** Kagaseo likes Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire given that everyone seems to live in Ninja-Westeros.** Politics. Many of the younger characters get involved in debates with dictators and villains about the political states of their worlds.** {{Big Bad Duumvirate}}s. Look at how many there are.** Destiny and prophecies are for suckers.** The author admits a preference to having multiple character deaths and anti-heroes.* BadBoss: Orochimaru ([[spoiler:usually]]), the OC [[YouHaveFailedMe Kenta Ayatsuri]], [[BitchInSheepsClothing Alpha]], and an exaggerated version of [[TheCaligula Yagura]], who tortures, flays, or ''[[ImAHumanitarian eats]]'' people.* BatmanGambit: Alpha tries this [[spoiler:by surrendering, but fails to consider that she has a ZeroPercentApprovalRating in her world]].* BecauseDestinySaysSo: Susanoo's purpose as a villain is this. His soul is even made of fatalism to drive the point home.** Minato and Kushina from Kazama's world also, earning the hatred of their son. ** There's an unusual trend for characters with this justification [[spoiler:to die horrible deaths in this fic]].* BecomingTheMask: Shukaku, oddly enough. [[spoiler:It, though in this story ''she'', convinces itself that it is Gaara's mother. Naruko's Kyuubi empathy abilities have evolved to deceive/control others by predicting their emotional responses. Tsukuyomi takes considerable interest in Kazama]] instead of converting him.* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: [[spoiler:Kazama]]. He began as the author's depiction of a more personalized, wiser Naruto, but his developments led him to becoming the head of the Arashi clan, losing his Bijuu, and fighting two Kage alongside a major villain. Then he met [[GodOfEvil Amatsu-Mikaboshi]] who gave him a BreakingSpeech, which on top of the corrupting exposition freely provided by Orochimaru, leads Kazama to stand [[spoiler:against his belief in the village, his former mentors, and his friends]].** And then Sasuke himself shows up, and reveals that he's become TheAtoner for the (perceived) death of his best friend, and since Tsukiyomi never told him the truth of his clan's massacre. As such, he starts acting more and more like Kazama did before the entire plot of Echoes started up, and slowly becomes less and less like canon Sasuke. Ergo, Naruto and Sasuke have ''switched roles''. Both of them BecameTheirOwnAntithesis.* BigBadEnsemble: The Madara Trio, fighting under the guidance of Amatsu-Mikaboshi, and the Warlord and his organization, Teikoku.** BigBadDuumvirate: The trio, again. [[spoiler:Orochimaru and A]], Hanzo and Yagura, Yagura is actually in two at once and his Sanbi. There is now a Big Bad ''Decemvirate'' in the form of Teikoku.* BigBadFriend: [[spoiler: Tsukiyomi]] is becoming one to [[spoiler: Kazama]].* BiggerBad: [[spoiler: Amatsu Mikaboshi and the Shinigami]], both of whom have their hooks in the protagonist. [[spoiler:The Shinigami may qualify as BigGood]].* BigGood: The premise being TheMultiverse, people like [[spoiler:Madara Uchiha and Orochimaru]] are this; one is a scientist in one world, and the other a resistance leader in another.* BigScrewedUpFamily: The Uchiha clans dysfunctions are put on full display in ''Echoes'' the most extreme example is when their coup ended with [[spoiler: Shisui implementing a FinalSolution out of sheer hatred of the clan.]]** When the Ootsutsuki show up how self-destructive a family they are is shown [[spoiler: one version of Kaguya is trying to change but refuses to acknowledge what a bad mother she was. One version of Hamura grew into a bitter misanthrope KnightTemplar because of his brother Black's genocide and Indra's pettiness. Another Hagoromo openly calls Indra and Asura idiots and failures unworthy of their legacy with his Indra ''agreeing'' that he as a vain {{jerkass}} when he shows up reformed as the OnlySaneMan.]]* BlackComedy: Hidan and Kakuzu, predictably, as the former criticizes the latter for worshiping currency as a deity. Kakuzu even defends this (jokingly) by referencing money as the ultimate motivator. In the omakes, Kakuzu, to Hidan's amazement, actually ''worships'' "money-sama."* BoomerangBigot: Many alternate Uchiha show a very low opinion of their clan, from realizing that they are the greatest contributors to the worlds war torn state or for more selfish reasons. The list consists of Tsukiyomi, Amaterasu, Izanami, Itachi, [[spoiler: Sage Tobi]], with Shisui being the most extreme example, [[spoiler: his bigotry reaches genocidal extremes seeing all Uchiha as parasites.]]** a surprise last minute addition is [[spoiler: ''Kaguya'']] herself, before ones fall she [[spoiler: ate the Chakra Fruit raw]] because she sought to rebel from her clan out of disgust of their greed and death toll they caused. [[spoiler: It didn't work out, and Kaguya became what she hated.]]* CursedWithAwesome: Kazama's ability to travel the multiverse gives him the opportunity to learn more about a conspiracy, about many different paths his life could've taken, and defeat a number of villainous regimes. However, this power [[spoiler:comes from Amatsu-Mikaboshi, and more importantly, rallies together a group of Madara Uchihas who want to abuse that power.]]** BlessedWithSuck: It's also thrown the heroes into a score of life-threatening situations upon entry.* BlindSeer: Izuna, Amaterasu, and the Alive!Minato World's Madara all caught glimpses of the future after being blinded. * BodyHorror: Orochimaru, even moreso [[spoiler:after he survives the prologue]]. The damage actually retarded his mind and healing factor.** Five has it even worse due to [[spoiler:CloneDegeneration.]]* BreakThemByTalking: All over the place but the biggest one was in the ''very first chapter'' with Orochimaru pointing out that Kazama has learned nothing while training under Jiraiya. It started the whole plot!** [[spoiler:[[TragicVillain Five]]]]. 90% of what he says is a Breaking Speech. Given that he's an {{Expy}} of [[Literature/NineteenEightyfour O'Brien]] this is justified.* CanonWelding: With the ''real'' canon - the author takes great pains to contradict as little of the narrative as possible, for the most part avoiding the need to RetCon the established narrative but still needing to bend the rules along with his own.* CharacterDevelopment: A great deal, for almost all of the major characters.* ClimaxBoss: [[spoiler:Amaterasu]], for the conclusion of "The Great Chase Arc".* TheConsigliere: Both Sasori and [[spoiler:Tsukuyomi]] act as this to Kazama.* CoDragons: [[spoiler: Five and Three]] to [[spoiler: Alpha]].* CoolSword: The {{Kusanagi}}, Orochimaru's [[spoiler:and later Kazama's]] sword has a far deeper and more powerful backstory than its {{canon}} counterpart. First of all, it was used to kill the ''real'' Yamato-no-Orochi, second, it is the REAL Susanoo's sword.* CombatPragmatist: Everyone except Naruko and [[HonorBeforeReason Amaterasu]]. [[spoiler: Naruko later becomes one after fighting [[ArcVillain Kitsune's Kyuubi.]]]]%%* CompetitiveBalance: Early chapters have categorized Ninjutsu into five different styles.* TheConspiracy: The Inner Council, a group formed by the clans of Konoha to oppose the Hokages power. The first two times it was formed was for valid reasons: The first formation was when Hashirama gave away eight bijuu to enemy nations and everyone thought he was an idiot. The second time it was formed was because the Village saw Sarutobi as unfit to lead after he let Orochimaru escape (and Orochimaru was caught ''killing babies'') so you really couldn't fault them that time...the third and current incarnation is a major mystery and is a major plot point because it was not formed for good reasons like the first two times and is causing major problems.* TheCorrupter: Tsukiyomi, toward Kazama. Orochimaru also counts.* [[CrapsackWorld Crapsack Multiverse]]: With traces of WorldHalfFull, but (in this fic) as Tsukiyomi tells Kazama, [[spoiler:most everyone he's ever known has had an ulterior motive including people he's long-respected, there's a conspiracy in his past made up hof his Konoha peers' parents and assorted, and in nearly every world ''someone'' is screwing over his counterpart For The Good Of Konoha.]] Though admittedly part of the reasoning ''is'' warped into looking its absolute worse for Kazama's eyes [[spoiler:because of Mikaboshi.]] The heroes are basically a ray of sunshine amidst this simply because they actually ''give a fuck about each other''.** There's also the world based off of Literature/NineteenEightyfour. That should speak for itself.* CrapsaccharineWorld: The Alive!Yondaime World at first looks like a SugarBowl because Akatsuki, Orochimaru, and Madara were defeated early. In reality, whilst this was a great blow to evil it didn't destroy it all, instead making it disorganized but present. In addition, the political situation is rather bad because of both a certain idiotic Genin Team and no BigBad to keep certain people occupied, like [[GeneralRipper A]]. However, it's rather pleasant compared to a lot of other worlds in the fic.* CrazyPrepared: Sasori all the way. He has practically everything one could want or need sealed inside or built into his puppet body. One could wonder if he exchanged notes with Franchise/{{Batman}} when he rebuilt himself.* CreepyChild: Kitsune, Gaara, Jinchuuriki!Sakura, the OmnicidalManiac Naruto...* CrossOver: The OC's from ''Yet Again'' [[spoiler:actually appear at a convenient moment to save the Arashi clan from a horde of demons.]] This is even discussed in-universe, with the Yet Again cast explaining how Kazama's ability works and that when it malfunctioned, it sent them into an ''alternate multiverse'', the one that Yet Again takes place in. This suffered from InternetBackdraft due to the nature of their cameo.** Interestingly, the DeusExMachina that occurs [[spoiler:doesn't fix the problem of Kazama's world-jumping power creating 'holes' in the multiverse]].* TheCynic: Sasori, so very much. [[spoiler:Kazama becomes one as well]].** Yugito is rather cynical as well, though not to the level of Kazama and Sasori. Even then her case is somewhat justified due to her growing up during war time.* DarkerAndEdgier: Much darker and more deconstructive of the story than canon.* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: In this story the [[{{Gamebreaker}} Edo Tensei]] has been given a proper justification for not being spammed - Use it to much and the Shinigami will make a ''very'' early visit. Even then, using it is treated like an InUniverse MoralEventHorizon moment.* DarkMessiah: All the Madara are different variants of DarkMessiah. [[spoiler:Kazama might be becoming one, as well.]]* DeaderThanDead: [[spoiler: Orochimaru]]... again.** [[spoiler:Jinchuriki-Sakura]] got this earlier when [[spoiler:her essence merged into her Kyuubi, who is subsequently ''obliterated'' by Amaterasu.]]* DeathIsCheap: All of [[BigBadDuumvirate the Madara]] can perform Izanagi, a jutsu that can [[IRejectYourReality negate their own deaths]] by permanently sacrificing a Sharingan. Tsukiyomi wins the prize though - he has stated that he has almost a hundred Sharingan to spam. He basically has in-universe PlotArmor.* DeathByAdaptation: It seems like every time the Naruto group goes to another world, at least SOMEBODY died who otherwise would have survived in canon. The [[SparedByTheAdaptation opposite]] also happens, as a result. * DefiantToTheEnd: This tends to be the general approach of both the good guys... and the bad guys... and everyone in between.* {{Determinator}}: Zabuza* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu?: [[spoiler: Amaterasu]] kills KYUUBI to death. Yes, you read that right. [[spoiler: Zabuza killing Amaterasu himself also counts.]]** [[spoiler: Wait, so does that mean that if Zabuza killed Amaterasu, could he beat the Kyuubi?]]*** No. *** Never. *** Absolutely not. * DirtyBusiness: Every member of the Arashi clan ''except'' Naruko has had to do this in the past.* DiscardAndDraw: A rather common thing in this fic. Hell, this trope along with a [[BreakThemByTalking Breaking Speech]] started the whole freaking plot! To recap, Kazama lost the power of the Kyuubi in exchange for the power of the Shinigami which gave him the power to traverse the multiverse, along with his Uzumaki powers because the Kyuubi couldn't dick around with his chakra anymore (along with the power to make [[ChainPain to make chakra chains]]). Sasori and Chibaku also use this trope a lot. They lose all their puppets in every fight they're in but because they are both CrazyPrepared they have a new better model ready to go the time the next fight comes knockin'.* DistaffCounterpart: Despite not liking him Yugito is basically a female Kakashi, being an experienced, career shinobi knowing a wealth of information about the ninja world.* TheDragon: Technically, Amaterasu is this - he fills the role of being the most powerful antagonistic force for the heroes, and despite still being [[AGodAmI Madara]] he's probably the most-level headed of the Trio, content to let his comrades plan and acting as mediator (which is VERY ironic, given that he refers to himself as "war made flesh"). [[spoiler:Until he's finally KilledOffForReal.]]* DualWielding: {{Deconstructed}} as one of the [[VillainBall many]], [[WorfHadTheFlu many]] reasons [[spoiler:Orochimaru]] was killed by Kazama was because he was DualWielding two Kusanagi despite not being ambidextrous. Kazama also falls victim to this {{DeconstructedTrope}} when he tries DualWielding his two Kusanagi in a sword fight against [[MasterSwordsman Amaterasu]]. [[spoiler: Later in the story, the Dark Wolf also does this, with much greater success, due to being ambidextrous.]]* DysfunctionJunction: The Arashi clan. Full stop. They're like a DarkerAndEdgier version of the [[Manga/OnePiece Straw Hat Pirates]]. Every one of them has some sort of psychological trauma, suffers from some sort of psychological problem or has a DarkAndTroubledPast. See TheWoobie for details.** Note: Kuebiko doesn't count because he isn't part of the Arashi clan. He's just helping them because he's a NiceGuy. Though he is somewhat bigoted and has a very SelectiveMemory when his brothers dickier moves come up or the flaws in the Will of Fire.* EarnYourHappyEnding: According to the Author's Notes, this is the heroes' ultimate goal given the utter ''shit'' they tend to wade through - time will tell if they manage it. * TheEmpath: All of the Naruto are able to emphasize with their opponents in battle and they use it in different ways. For Kitsune, his empathy destroyed him. Naruko uses her empathy exactly like her {{canon}} self. [[spoiler: But later slipped into MindRape and quit being TheEmpath when she found this out.]] Chibaku uses his empathy to be a ManipulativeBastard, using his understanding of his opponents mental state to destroy them. And finally, Kazama is in the middle ground between Naruko and Chibaku. He uses his empathy to connect with the rest of his clan to help them while using it against his enemies to formulate TrashTalk and [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech "The Reason You Suck" Speeches]] to make them screw up.* EveryoneHasStandards: This is how Edo Tensei is treated in ''Echoes''. To even consider using Edo Tensei in this story you either have to have no idea of the repercussions aka the guy who invented it. A special kind of evil, like Orochimaru, Kabuto, or Susanoo. Or a special kind of broken, like Izanami. Using Edo Tensei seems to be the equivalent to violating the Geneva Convention in the Echoes-multiverse. [[spoiler: To prove the point, when Susanoo revived five Kages who ''hated'' each other with it, they all agreed they wanted to kill him for sinking so low.]]* EvilMentor: Tsukiyomi plans to be this to Kazama. [[TheSociopath Kenta]] was one to Kakashi.** [[spoiler: By the Ame arc, Tsukiyomi has suceeded in making Kazama his apprentice.]]* EvilCounterpart: A major theme. Multiple times, the heroes face alternate versions of themselves or other characters that turned out badly. For example:** Kazama has Tsukiyomi, and to a lesser extent Yagura.** [[spoiler: N to Kitsune.]]** [[spoiler: Alpha to Hashirama Senju.]]*** [[spoiler:Alpha]] actually seems more like Naruko's EvilCounterpart. They both have HolierThanThou attitudes, show signs of being TheFundamentalist, rely on an EldritchAbomination to make up for their weaknesses in combat and both [[spoiler: MindRape]] people into agreeing with them.** The three Naruto shown by [[spoiler: Mikaboshi]] to canon Naruto. One of them, an OmnicidalManiac, managed to disturb Madara himself.** [[spoiler:Five]] to Haku. ** Isobu to Kurama.* EvilOldFolks: It's hard to remember that [[BigBadDuumvirate the Madara]] are over a century old given how active they are.* ExplainExplainOhCrap: Try explaining that [[spoiler: three versions of the mightiest BigBad in existence are after you and your friends to the people around you and see how long it takes for you all to realize just how [[PrecisionFStrike fucked]] you are!]] Go on. Try it. * FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:Orochimaru, Susanoo, Alpha... just to name a few.]]* FiveBadBand:** The main one is, debatably...--> TheLeader - Tsukiyomi--> TheDragon - Amaterasu--> TheBrute - Susanoo--> EvilGenius - Izanami--> SixthRanger - [[spoiler:Kazama]]*** [[spoiler:By chapter 36 it has completely fallen apart. Amaterasu is dead. Nobody knows what Tsukiyomi's up to - if he's even planning ''anything'' anymore. Susanoo has teamed up with a new Madara renamed Izanagi and has gone [[TheStarscream Starscream]] to Tsukuyomi. While Izanami has fallen in love with Kazama and is stopping him from falling completely off the deep end into a FaceHeelTurn.]]** The Kumogakure arc:--> BigBad[=/=]EvilGenius - Orochimaru [[spoiler: from Kazama's home dimension.]]--> TheDragon - The Raikage, A--> [[TheBrute The Brutes]] The Sandaime, Jiraiya, and Tsunade revived with Edo Tensei.--> TheDarkChick - N--> SixthRangerTraitor - Yugito** The Dystopia arc:--> BiggerBad - [[spoiler:[[EldritchAbomination The Juubi]]]]--> BigBad - [[spoiler:[[ItsAllAboutMe Alpha.]]]] She shares the EvilGenius position with [[spoiler:Five]] because while she makes the plans Five is the only one who actually seems to use his brain and ''think''.--> CoDragons ----> EvilGenius - [[spoiler:[[TragicVillain Five.]]]] He is easily [[spoiler:Alpha's]] most competent, loyal, and powerful servant almost killing both Chibaku and Kuebiko.

[[spoiler: With his death, there are now hints that Tsukiyomi and Susanoo are plotting to [[TheStarscream Starscream]] each other. Unless Izanami takes his place...?]]** TheMcCoy: Susanoo is a bit of a LeeroyJenkins, and his first solution to any problem is to smash it.* GambitRoulette: Deconstructed. The two big canon gambits the Moon's Eye Plan and Child of Prophecy tend to undergo extreme {{Epic Fail}}s thanks to the free will the multiverse grants to differing characters leading to scenarios where they never pick up steam (Naruko's World and the Dystopia-verse), completely fall apart ( Kitsune's world where the Uchiha ruin everything) or allow someone worse to take control...[[spoiler: like the universe where [[MagnificentBastard Red Zetsu]] killed Madara, made Kaguya his bitch, and rules the world.]]* GenderFlip: Naruko, Haku and Gaara. [[spoiler:Now we have a Genderflipped Tobi renamned Izanami. Later subverted: Izanami is another version of Mikoto Uchiha.]]* GenerationXerox: Inverted with Sasuke and Naruto and their mothers, Mikoto and Kushina. Naruto obsesses over Sasuke while Sasuke doesn't care. Mikoto on the other hand is hinted to have wanted much more than friendship from Kushina in at least three worlds, while Kushina sees her as just a friend [[spoiler: Sasuke is later shown to have inherited his mother's crazy when she goes for revenge. Mikoto proves to be ''far'' more DeadlyThanTheMale.]]** Kazama himself could be consider a rather horrific deconstruction of this trope or a different form of inversion.* GreyAndGreyMorality[=/=]MoralityKitchenSink: There's plenty to go around thanks to the high level of character complexity.* HeroKiller: The three Madara, BIG TIME. Especially Amaterasu, who has the story's highest body count for the moment. [[spoiler:Hell, as badass as Zabuza and Jiraiya were in taking him down, he'd also partially weakened himself via his HonourBeforeReason - meaning that had he fought dirty he might have killed them ''both'' and still survived.]]* HeroOfAnotherStory: A major theme of the Seperation arc was to show that the multiverse doesn't revolve around Naruto with the role of being TheHero, TheProtagonist, and basically being the main character of their world was given to Itachi, Minato, and [[spoiler: Orochimaru]] with the Naruto of two of those worlds being DemotedToExtra and side characters and in one world he was the BigBad instead.* HyperCompetentSidekick: Sasori to Kazama and Yugito to Kamui. While these characters are not incompetent or sidekicks they fit the bill perfectly due to their sanity and efficiency compared to the person they work for.* IJustWantToBeYou: After becoming TheAtoner Sasuke seems to be modeling himself after canon Naruto.* InsaneTrollLogic: [[spoiler: Orochimaru]], after becoming AxeCrazy, plans to kill Kazama and then take over his body with his GrandTheftMe no Jutsu. When Kazama points out that [[spoiler: Orochimaru]] can't body-jack corpses, [[spoiler: Orochimaru]] 'rationalizes' this by pointing out that Sasuke has 'killed' Kazama twice so he must have three lives so killing him one more time will be okay.** The whole Child of the Prophecy and the Moon's Eye plan has been reduced to this because of free will.* InSpiteOfANail: A few things remain constant in most of the multiverse, no matter how different other actors tend to be. For instance:** The Kyuubi attack - whether Madara found immortality/longevity or not, ''someone'' orchestrates it unless things were ''very'' different in the backstory (such as in the Dystopia-verse). One of few variants is where Sakura, not Naruto, is the jinchuuriki instead.** ''Naruto'' himself appears to be a constant - even if Minato does not have a child with Kushina, if he has one with someone else (such as [[spoiler:Tsunade or Mikoto]]) it will (usually) be a son of the same name. [[GenderFlip Naruko]] is a slight break from this, but her world is still highly close to {{Canon}} regardless (a few characters' allegiances notwithstanding).* {{Irony}}: A key part of this fic is the parrallels it draws to {{Canon}} mocking how the series has become made out of {{Broken Aesop}}s, thus, if a character gets any CharacterDevelopment there will be some irony to go along with it. To check it out go to the character sheet, The list is ''way'' too long to write here.* JadeColoredGlasses: Everyone in this fic except [[PuritySue Naruko]] wear Jade Colored Glasses of various shades. It's actually healthy in this fic to be cynical to a certain degree, but Kazama has recently become the most cynical, beating Sasori in the cynicism department. * KirkSummation: Minato unwittingly performs an inverted version of this trope on Kazama. [[spoiler: It causes him to cross the DespairEventHorizon and go crawling to [[BigBad Tsukiyomi]] for power.]]** Sasori and [[spoiler: Good!Orochimaru]], of all people, preform a straighter version on [[spoiler: BitchInSheepsClothing Alpha.]] She doesn't take it well.* KnightInSourArmor: Zabuza and [[spoiler:Good!Orochimaru]] fit this trope too a T. Kazama was close to becoming one, [[spoiler:but he became a FallenHero instead.]]* KnightTemplar: One alternate version of Naruto, [[spoiler: and the Raikage]].* LaughablyEvil: Although [[ThoseTwoBadGuys Hidan and Kakuzu]] are extremely dangerous bad guys, they are extremely funny as well. Though this is actually Invoked by [[GeniusBruiser Kakuzu]] in a form of ObfuscatingStupidity to get people to underestimate him... Hidan's just plan nuts.* MakeWayForTheNewVillains: At around the the fics half way point the original Madara triad falls apart or dies, they're swiftly replaced by Teikoku, a multiversal LegionOfDoom.* ManEatingPlant: The heroes end up in a world filled with nothing but plants that can use the Sharingan... there are no humans and the plants try to EAT the heroes. The rest sort of falls under the category of FridgeHorror when you try and consider (A) what happened to all the people and (B) what happened to MAKE those plants, anyway?!* MeleeATrois: The ending of the Another Wave arc turns the battle for the bridge into a DBZ level blood bath. The three factions include: The soon-to-be-Arashi clan (Kazama, Naruko, Chibaku, Kitsune, Sasori Kakashi/Kamui, Normal!Naruto, Jinchuuriki!Sakura, and Sasuke) '''vs''' Kisame, Zabuza, Haku, and Kimmimaro '''vs''' [[BigBadDuumvirate the Madara Trio]] (Tsukiyomi, Susanoo, and Amaterasu). [[{{Understatement}} The final results didn't really end well for anyone.]]* MindRape: Alpha's shtick and, surprisingly, [[spoiler:Naruko's as well (albeit by accident)]].* MoodWhiplash: The fic begins with multiple Narutos looking out for each other. But once other members join their group, they start focusing more on why their childhoods were so messed up, with Kazama becoming a subscriber to [[spoiler:Amatsu-Mikaboshi]], several well-known characters dying off, and three absurdly powerful villains chasing them like dogs.* [[AFatherToHisMen A Mother To Her Men]]: Alpha, though she cares about her soldiers, it's more like a small child caring about her doll collection instead of seeing them as living, breathing people. When a new doll comes along, she just gets rid of the old one she doesn't like as much.* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: You think Sasuke, Obito, and Madara can be disproportionate and extreme? Wait until you see the devastation Mikoto's pettiness can cause!* TheMultiverse: The entire premise of the entire story.* MultiversalConqueror: Each different Madara aims at ruling the multiverse. [[spoiler: Amatsu Mikaboshi, too.]] [[spoiler: The Teikoku are successful ones.]]* TheNeedsOfTheMany: Minato believes in the ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' maxim of "sacrifice the one to save the many". He basically admits to Kazama that he will willingly sacrifice his family to create peace. In a complete contrast to his father, Kazama believes in a {{Inverted}} version of this trope - that only a handful of people deserve salvation. If any of [[Manga/{{Naruto}} the original series' philosophy]] remains intact, this is ''[[OhCrap not]]'' a good thing.* NextTierPowerUp: Purposely deconstructed in this story. If you get a cool new power, don't expect it to automatically let you win against your latest foe. Just because you have a cool new super move doesn't mean that you can use it properly. Expect to have your ass handed to you by the same technique that was beating you earlier because while that technique may be weaker, your enemy has mastered it to the point of perfection, while you don't know all the pro's and con's to your new powers.* NiceGuy=/=NiceGirl: Kuebiko and Haku.* NietzscheWannabe: Many, but Kitsune's Kyuubi and [[spoiler: Five]] are the most obvious examples. [[spoiler:And possibly Kazama too, now. He's recently grown out of it. [[FaceHeelTurn But that might not be a good thing...]]]]* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: [[spoiler: Orochimaru]] just won't stay down... [[spoiler:at least, until ending DeaderThanDead]].* ObliviouslyEvil: Many of the villains can come off as this, mainly Tsukuyomi, Susanoo, and Izanagi. They truly think that they're doing the right thing(except Izanagi). Best shown when Susanoo and Izanagi were planning to defeat [[spoiler:[[AntiAntiChrist Kazama]]]]. They seemed a lot more heroic than [[spoiler:Kazama]] has been.* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: [[spoiler: This is [[BigGood Orochimaru]] and [[PsychopathicManchild Alpha's]] basic relationship, although Alpha takes it much more personally than Orochimaru, who just wants to defeat her to save the world.]]* OmnicidalManiac: Kitsune's [[spoiler: three]] Kyuubi. An alternate version of Naruto shown to Madara by [[spoiler: Mikaboshi]] declared his intention to become one, and an alternate version of the Sage of the Six Paths actually pulled it off. [[spoiler: Mikaboshi used to be one, but now its plans are mysterious.]] [[spoiler: WordOfGod is that the Warlord is also one.]]* OneManArmy: The Madara trio, 3rd Raikage, Hanzo, 1st Hokage,[[spoiler: Sage of the Six Paths, and the bosses of Teikoku]] are all this.* PassingTheTorch: The Will of Fire has suffered a deconstruction in this story. It is pointed out that the Will of Fire passes ''everything'' down to the next generation, including things like hatred, bigotry, revenge, and racism, which in turn creates people like [[RightWingedMilitaryFanatic Danzo]], [[DarkMessiah Kazama]], [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Kitsune]], and [[OmnicidalManiac Kitsune's Kyuubi]]. Realistically, the Will of Fire actually ''propagates'' the CycleOfHatred, not stops it. Pretty much every Naruto's suffering is ''caused'' by the Will of Fire due to the hatred that is passed down from adults to children. And let's not get started about what it did to the [[CrapsackWorld Dystopia-verse...]]* PeggySue: [[spoiler: Orochimaru]] is a villainous example. During the incident that gave Kazama his powers it sent [[spoiler: Orochimaru]] back in time in an unknown universe. Like all [[PeggySue Peggy Sues]], [[spoiler:Orochimaru]] used his foreknowledge to make his life better - and by better, we mean that he destroyed Konoha.* PowerParasite: For his final battle with Kakashi, Kenta has incorporated the Kaguya bloodline, the Byakugan, and Karin's Uzumaki HealingFactor into his body, and it has been hinted he has even more powers sealed away...* ProtagonistCentredMorality: Good lord, is Kazama ever adopting this... So, mate, if someone is on your side (like say, [[TokenEvilTeammate Sasori]]) you call them "good" and ignore their more negative attributes or deeds; if they are your enemy or have done things not for ''your'' best interests, then they are bad regardless of motivation. Geez, whatever happened to your more forgiving younger self? Granted, at least part of the reason for this utalitarian mentality is [[spoiler:Amatsu Mikaboshi slowly corrupting him.]]** Naruko shows signs of this as well, without an excuse. As long as someone agrees with her idealistic idealology they're "good". And she - like Kazama - tends to ignore her friends and enemies faults. A good example of this is [[spoiler:Shisui]]. While he is remorseful about ruining Kitsune's life, he does ''not'' regret orchestrating the [[spoiler:Uchiha Massacre]] where he brainwashed and used [[spoiler:Itachi]] as his pawn to kill everyone except Sasuke, including non-combatants, civilians, and children, and more importantly - [[spoiler: people that were not involved in the Inner Council conspiracy.]]** This is not unnoticed by the author, and it is being lampshaded, justified and deconstructed along the way.* RescueArc: Part of the Reunion arc focuses on rescuing [[BigGood Vajra]] from [[TheEmpire Teikoku]].* TheRival: Yugito has a rivalry with Kakashi. [[spoiler: Originally Yugito wanted to kill Kakashi for killing the Raikage.]] But now it has evolved into a more friendly rivalry.* RedOniBlueOni: Naruko and Chibaku. Naruko is a IdiotHero who uses ThePowerOfFriendship and the Kyuubi to win all her fights and never kills her opponents no matter how despicable they are. Chibaku is a GuileHero borderline ManipulativeBastard who uses his empathy to manipulate his opponents emotions and relies on tricks and traps to win his fights and always goes for the kill. They also argue over everything as is typical of such a relationship.* RedHerring: It turns out that the [[spoiler: Inner Council]] isn't out to get Naruto. He's just collateral damage no one cares about.* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler:Kabuto]] was killed off precisely to invoke this effect. He's one of the ''lightest'' casualties, too.* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:Zabuza]] just can't catch a break, can he?* SerialKiller: Kitsune, under the Kyuubi's influence.* ScrewDestiny: It's basically the Arashi clan's job. They destroy the fate of almost every world they go to. For better or for worse.* SeinfeldianConversation: Chibaku and Yugito commonly have really weird conversations with their respective Bijuu.* ShootTheDog: All of the Naruto's except Naruko have had to make or made morally questionable decisions. Kazama killed Sai in the first chapter in self-defense. Chibaku's use of this trope is the most blatant [[spoiler:when he killed N.]] And finally there are Kitsune's many, many killing sprees.** ''[[TheHeart Haku]]'' has recently joined the club by killing [[spoiler:[[TragicVillain Five.]]]]* SiblingYinYang: While they aren't siblings, Naruko and Chibaku fit this trope well. Naruko is an implusive, HotBlooded, GenkiGirl who is UnskilledButStrong due to her constantly using the Kyuubi's powers to smash her opponents, and seems to be working her way up from TheChick to TheBigGirl. Chibaku is a calm, cool, collected DeadpanSnarker and always plans things out, is the CrazyPrepared SmartGuy, and is WeakButSkilled because the Kyuubi's brute strength doesn't mix with his delicate puppetry techniques. [[RunningGag They also argue over everything.]]* {{Sidekick}}: [[IdiotHero Nar]][[IncorruptiblePurePureness uko]] to [[TheCynic Kaz]][[AntiHero ama.]] [[GuileHero Chi]][[ManipulativeBastard baku]] to [[MagnificentBastard Sasori]].* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: To the point where idealists make things worse in this story. Don't trust an idealist with a pair of safety scissors in this story. They will find some way to ruin a cynic's attempts to do good work with them. Cynics are the people who are competent and actually save the world in this story.* ShoutOut: Amaterasu is one giant call-back to [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight a certain King of Heroes]].** He also has an attack called Tsubame Gaeshi.** Kazama and Tsukiyomi's relationship has recently begun to resemble [[spoiler:[[StarWars Anakin and Palpatine's]]]].** Five, and the world he exists in, is based on [[Literature/NineteenEightyfour 1984]].** Kitsune, in a fit of insanity, invoke's Voltaire's song "When You're Evil", only substituting "evil" with "crazy" and "The Devil" with "The Kyuubi"... yeah.** Kisame once told Zabuza that [[Creator/NiccoloMachiavelli "It is better to be feared than loved"]].** The Minato from the Alternate Amegakure arc wants to be a [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Hero of Justice]]. A ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' Hero of Justice. [[{{Understatement}} He doesn't know what he's getting into]]. Wonder if we'll meet a Counter Guardian NAMIKAZE soon?** The Sanbi's jutsu were based on the Squirtle family's movepool from ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''.** When Izanami takes off her mask in front of Kazama revealing her beauty, she says [[SpiderMan "Face it, tiger: you've earned the jackpot"]].** During his fight with his Yami self Kitsune constantly said [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion "I mustn't run away, I mustn't run away, I mustn't run away"]]** Kazama was nicknamed [[TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles the Shredder]], by Karasu.** [[spoiler: Amatsu-Mikaboshi]] paraphrases Sauron's only line from ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', '''"Remember, human, there is no life in the Void, only death."'''** Karasu has a genjutsu called [[Franchise/ChildrenOfTheCorn He Who Walks Behind the Rows]].** When [[spoiler: Mu]] fights Karasu and Kitsune, he refers to himself as the [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Blind Bandit]], and then throws rocks at them.** Karasu nicknames Chibaku [[ComicBook/IronMan Iron Man]].** During the fight against the [[spoiler:resurrected Third Raikage]], the Dark Wolf begins chanting about [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} "Blood for the Blood God" and "Skulls for the Skull Throne."]]** The Author's note in chapter 41 has one too: "[[VideoGame/BioShock1 Would you kindly leave a review?]]"* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Falls firmly on the cynical end: when someone's FatalFlaw is having too much faith in humanity you know you're in a CrapsackWorld.* TheSocialDarwinist: Tsukiyomi and Amaterasu are different faces of the concept. Tsukiyomi believes that the gifted should rule over the masses by virtue of being better, whereas Amaterasu believes on MightMakesRight. Another alternate version of Naruto shown by [[spoiler: Amatsu Mikaboshi]] also believes in this.* TheSociopath: The author claimed he wrote Kenta as his take on a real-life sociopath.* SoProudOfYou: [[spoiler:Kushina to Naruko, before sacrificing herself to save Gaara.]]* TheStarscream: [[spoiler: Kazama]] makes it very clear to Tsukiyomi that he will kill him either the first chance he gets, or when Tsukiyomi teaches him all he needs to know. Overlaps with him being a BastardUnderstudy. [[spoiler: Izanami]] successfully Starscreamed her [[spoiler: Madara]] when he tried to pull a YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness on her. This also helped seal her [[MagnificentBastard Magnificent Bitch]] status.** It seems to be a common multiversal occurrence for [[spoiler: Fugaku and Mikoto]] to be Minato's and Kushina [[TheStarscream Starscream.]] And they have a frighteningly good track record. Although [[spoiler: Itachi]] usually gives them what they deserve. Though in one universe he got what was coming to him in the form of [[spoiler: his own wife killing him. One version of Mikoto got such a horrible fate that a self-professed misanthrope was disturbed.]] The [[spoiler: Godaime!Itachi]] world subverted this, though.* StepfordSmiler: Jinchuuriki!Sakura is a Type A [[spoiler:that turns into a Type C.]]* SuicideByCop: [[spoiler:Raikage N]] has constantly been trying to do this - [[spoiler: Chibaku]] becomes the cop.** [[spoiler:Five forces Haku to do this.]] He even says "What took you so long?" as he dies.* SuperPoweredEvilSide: Kitsune's entire fighting style revolves around ''giving in'' to his SuperPoweredEvilSide. [[spoiler: Subverted after his Kyuubi is killed.]]* TakeThat: Rather markedly:** The dominance of ActionGirl(s) compared to the shortage of powerful female characters in canon.** The author relates Yagura's poor fighting skills to the canon Naruto. Yagura prioritizes ninjutsu boosted by his own Tailed Beast and relies on it.** Kakuzu never considers killing to be too good for his enemies.** Naruko's WorldOfCardboardSpeech to Susanoo was a TakeThat at the BrokenAesop Naruto-Neji fight.** Kazama's mental state is a TakeThat at the GenerationXerox BrokenAesop.** [[spoiler: Black]] calls the [[ItsAllAboutMe Uchiha clan]] a race that loves ''themselves'' too much.* TakeUpMySword: [[spoiler: Kisame entrusts Samehada to Kitsune]], knowing she's already fond of him and he'll take good care of her.** [[spoiler: Kitsune's Kyuubi forcibly does this to Kitsune before it dies by downloading all of its memories into him in an attempt to turn him into a new Kyuubi. It seems to be working. And it has been hinted that Tsukiyomi is training Kazama to be his DragonAscendant just in case he dies.]]* TakingTheBullet: [[spoiler:Gaara for Naruko - only intervention on Kushina's part saves her life.]]* TeamDad: Zabuza acts as a rather grumpy but extremely effective one for the Arashi Clan. He helps out a lot of people with their CharacterDevelopment. Especially Kakashi.* TeamMom: [[spoiler:Shukaku, of all Bijuu,]] seems to be becoming one for the Arashi Clan.* TechnicolorFire: Tsukiyomi and Yugito both use blue fire. Tsukiyomi because of his mastery over Katon jutsu. And Yugito to represent her SoulPower.* ThatManIsDead: This is how Kazama Arashi feels about his former identity of Naruto Uzumaki.* ThemeNaming: The FiveBadBand [[spoiler:(except of course Kazama)]] have all picked names from notable Shinto deities - the Madara Trio are Tsukiyomi, Amaterasu and Susanoo; their new ally is named for Izanami (or "Nami"), the goddess of creation and death. [[spoiler: And Izanami's Madara, after Susanoo revives him, takes the name Izanagi.]]* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: A commonly used tactic. Best shown when Chibaku uses one in order to [[spoiler: kill N]] and when Kazama kills [[spoiler:Orochimaru.]]* ThrowTheDogABone: In the Alive!Yondaime world, Zabuza was able to become Mizukage. Also, Mikoto was able to get into a relationship with Minato.* TimeMaster: Kazama's seal has recently shown the power to travel through time as well as space. Best shown with [[spoiler: Orochimaru being sent back in time and creating the Cloud-verse.]] And it later sent Kazama, Tsukiyomi, and Susanoo [[spoiler: back in time sometime around the Third Shinobi World War but before the Rise of Pain.]] Though given the nature of the multiverse, [[spoiler: it's hard to pin down the exact time period.]]** Kuebiko can also manipulate time on a small scale such as speeding up time around him or slowing down an injured persons' time or creating TimeStop bubbles.* ThisCannotBe: Yes. Just... Just yes. Most of the villains say this upon their defeats. [[spoiler: ''Especially'' Cloud-verse Orochimaru!]]** Subverted with [[spoiler:Amaterasu]]; he [[FaceDeathWithDignity faces his death with dignity]].* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Hidan and Kakuzu, of course!* TokenEvilTeammate: Sasori for the Arashi clan. He has no morals whatsoever but no one cares because he is a MagnificentBastard. [[spoiler: After his death, Kazama and the Dark Wolf seem to be taking his place.]]* TooDumbToLive: There seems to be something in the water in Ame, the citizens...aren't that smart, Yahiko tried to appeal to an insane war-mongering cannibal with peace, and [[spoiler: the Madara that lived there]] thought treating the woman in charge with keeping him alive like shit was a good idea.* TooPowerfulToLive: If [[spoiler:Kisame]] had survived, he would have curb-stomped many of the heroes' enemies too easily and removed much of the potential tension.* TookALevelInBadass: Pretty much everyone from canon, but Kakashi/Kamui takes the cake. Once he decides to get over his DeathSeeker habits he figures out how too use the Susanoo jutsu (with one sharingan), and [[spoiler:kills the Raikage.]] * TrashTalk: Kazama during his final fight with [[spoiler:Orochimaru]] - he kept on pressing all the guy's [[BerserkButton Berserk Buttons]] to make the bastard slip up. But the iceing on the cake was when Kazama began to call him [[spoiler:Orochimaru-''kun'']] - he totally lost it.* TraumaCongaLine: The author uses this trope to great effect. He's like Shakespeare with this trope. He always finds a way to ruin his main characters lives, often putting them in positions where they have to make [[ShootTheDog rather questionable decisions]] or make their backstories even more tragic - except Naruko, she's had it ridiculously easy compared to everyone else. But this is a case of TropesAreNotBad. A lot of great CharacterDevelopment comes out of their trauma.* {{Ubermensch}}: Tsukiyomi is an evil one. He even calls his idealology the Will to Power. Kazama is becoming one by rejecting all of Konoha's beliefs and starting his own clan. [[spoiler: But has recently devolved into a NietzscheWannabe.]] Kazama has recently recovered but his idealogy has become noticeably DarkerAndEdgier revolving around a mixture of MightMakesRight, RightMakesMight, HumansAreFlawed, and an {{Inversion}} of TheNeedsOfTheMany. Naruko ''thinks'' she's one, but since she has the personality of the canon Naruto and this story is a {{Deconstruction}} she sort of comes off as an idiot. * UndeadChild: Guess what Susanoo does with [[spoiler:the remains of Team Seven.]] Go on. Guess.* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Izuna, Madara's brother. Because he made a deal with [[spoiler:[[GodOfEvil Amatsu-Mikaboshi]]]] he started a chain of many horrible events which led to Madara becoming the BigBad. * UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: [[spoiler: Alpha]]'s world. The author based this world off of 1984. [[spoiler: Subverted. Alpha only wants to be proven right. So in the end it's just DespotismJustifiesTheMeans for her. Even if she'll never admit it.]]** DespotismJustifiesTheMeans: [[spoiler: Five]], TheDragon, however, is just in it for the power.* VictoryGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler:Gaara.]]* VillainousFriendship:** Amaterasu has a Type I with both his counterparts - they both like and respect him [[spoiler:and both were greatly saddened by his death.]]** Tsukiyomi and Susanoo have a Type IV - while they work well together, Susanoo's fatalism grates the nerves of Tsukiyomi, a firm believer in free will.** Yagura has a extremely twisted Type I with the Sanbi - it's probably the only thing he cares about, they come up with new torture techniques together, and they worked together to create their genocide program. Yagura even calls it "Dear Isobu".** Tsukiyomi and [[spoiler: Kazama]] are beginning to form a mixture of a Type I and a Type II. Tsukiyomi honestly seems to like [[spoiler: Kazama]] and treats him like the son he always wanted, and goes out of his way to help [[spoiler: Kazama]] with his goals and gives him solid advice... while [[spoiler: Kazama]] makes it clear that he's a BastardUnderstudy and will [[TheStarscream Starscream]] Tsukiyomi the first chance he gets. But at the same time, [[spoiler: Kazama]] admits that he's never had a better father figure.** [[ThoseTwoBadGuys Hidan and Kakuzu]] have a really weird mixture of a Type I and IV. They both claim that they're going to kill the other but they never get around to doing it.* VisionaryVillain: The three Madara. [[spoiler: Alpha]] claims to be this, but is actually a subversion - she just wants to prove she's right.* WarriorHeaven: Amaterasu's ultimate goal.* WeCanRuleTogether: [[BigBad Tsukiyomi]] keeps pitching this too [[TheHero Kazama]]. Given his [[AffablyEvil person]][[ManipulativeBastard ality]] it's hard to tell if he's honest. Given that Tsukiyomi seems to truly like Kazama and treats him like the son he always wanted - even while he's trying to kill his loved ones - makes the honesty of his offer ambigious. [[spoiler: Recently Kazama has accepted an offer from Tsukiyomi for power. And in a strange way Tsukiyomi has become the closest thing Kazama has ever had to a proper father-figure, making how honest he is ''very'' ambigious.]]* WideEyedIdealist: Naruko cannot seem to realize that she is in a ''{{Deconstruction}}'' of Manga/{{Naruto}} and the multiverse hasn't gotten around to telling her this compared to [[TraumaCongaLine everyone else.]] * WildCard: [[spoiler: Izanami]], [[RunningGag it's like cocaine to her.]] She somehow mangages to be part of the BigBadEnsemble, [[TheDragon a Dragon]], DragonWithAnAgenda, DragonAscendant, EnigmaticMinion, a HeelFaceMole, AND TheStarscream AT THE SAME TIME! [[UnreliableNarrator Maybe...?]]* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:Jinchuuriki!Sakura]] - After seeing [[spoiler:both her teammates die]], she [[spoiler:unleashes the Kyuubi and destroys Wave Country.]] Luckily she doesn't get any farther thanks to [[BigDamnVillains Amaterasu]].* WorfHadTheFlu: A lot of the Arashi clans victory's can be attributed to this trope. Kazama was able to kill [[spoiler: Orochimaru]] because his brain was ''literally'' rotting and he was constantly picking up the VillainBall because of it. [[spoiler:The Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Sarutobi]] revived with Edo Tensei only lost to Haku, Zabuza, Sasori, and Yugito because they literally couldn't think - [[spoiler:Jiraiya even summoned a toad that saw him die]], which immediately began helping the Arashi clan. [[spoiler:Raikage N]] was a DeathSeeker. [[spoiler: Amaterasu only lost to Zabuza, Jiraiya, and Kuebiko because of HonorBeforeReason.]] [[spoiler: Susanoo had lost his SpaceMaster powers, was ''dying'' and his Paths were telling their opponents their weaknesses.]]* WorthyOpponent: Amaterasu views most of his enemies this way. [[spoiler: Special mention to Kisame and Zabuza.]]* WrongGenreSavvy: ''No'', Naruko - unlike {{canon}}, ThePowerOfFriendship will ''not'' save everyone and make the world a bright shining place of peace and love. You might be able to help on a limited scale, but you are ''not'' all-powerful. [[spoiler: She seems to drop this after the fight with Kitsune's Kyuubi.]]* YouAreNumberSix: All of the [[spoiler: Real Naruto Clones]] have numbers for names in the ANBU-verse such as[[spoiler: Alpha, Three, Five, Twenty, and Ninety.]]* YouFightLikeACow: Kazama constantly insults Orochimaru's skills and achievements in life to make him slip up during their fight. It works.* YouHaveFailedMe: Kenta constantly does this because no one but Kakashi can live up to his insane expectations.* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: Izanami's Madara ''tried'' to do this to Izanami because he found a new apprentice that wasn't a woman.]] She disagreed. ''Vehemently.''** In an ironic twist, [[spoiler:Alpha]] got this treatment before suffering a [[FateWorseThanDeath fate worse than death]]. * YouKillItYouBoughtIt: The only way to gain the {{Kusanagi}}'s full power and loyalty is by killing its previous owner.* YouNeedToGetLaid: This is what the Niibi thinks of Yugito. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny It's hilarious]].* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: If you kill a Kage expect their rather pissed off Village to start a war. With [[EvilOverlord Yagura]], Kiri will probably send thank-you cards to whoever got rid of him. ** [[spoiler:[[ItsAllAboutMe Alpha]] has recently been revealed to have one of these. Only [[LoveMartyr Five]] and [[SycophanticServant Three]] actually liked her. The rest of the clones were either apathetic to her fate, feared her, outright hated her, or were just psychos in it for their own sick kicks.]] ** Every noble in Ame has this approval rating.----

Good Morning my Dear Brothers and Sisters, welcome to our Sunday Praise and Worship Service. We are so thankful that you took the time to worship with us on this glorious day of blessings. Now pause your thoughts and let us turn our attention to the Word of God.
HOW TO RECEIVE THE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE What must I do to be saved? This question was first asked by a jailer at Ephesus, who witnessed an earthquake that freed Paul and Silas. Paul and Silas were the Church's first official evangelists, who had been falsely arrested and beaten and left in his charge. The earthquake came as the climax to a midnight prison cell prayer and praise meeting and it spurred the jailer to consider the condition of his soul.
What must I do to be saved, you asked? If you truly want to be saved, listen to what the Lord says you must do, "you should first go to God in prayer. When praying to Him you should tell Him you are sorry for the sinful things that you have done against Him and how you want to do the right thing from now on (1 John 1:9, Acts 20:21).
Next you should ask Him to forgive your sins through His death payment on the cross (Colossians 2:10-14). Last, make a commitment to God that you will wholly follow His commandments and believe on Him and His Word, with the help of His Holy Spirit (John 14:15).
Congratulations, you are SAVED (John 8:32)! You have become a new person, and you will be able to live a life that is pleasing to God (2 Corinthians 5:14-17 ). Now, God will come into your heart and live with you (Revelation 3:20). This is so you can be close to Him, receive His power, and understand His Word (1 John 3:16, Acts1:8, John14:26).
Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of His glory with great joy, to the only God, our savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Be glory majesty,, Dominion, and authority, before all the time and now and forever, amen.tweet

Retirement Home
The appointment of Steve Lomas, our ex-midfielder, has caused quite a storm down at the New Den!
It would appear that the natives are not too pleased at having an ex-Hammer in charge.
Well Lomas is keen to make a good impression with the natives and has already moved into the transfer market to see if Millwall can improve on their dismal performance last season.
Lomas has recruited Steven Bywater and is now looking at taking Matthew Etherington to South-East London.
Can anyone see where this article is leading yet?
I can`t help wondering if the locals will accept further West Ham infiltration as it now looks as if the New Den is fast becoming an ex-Hammers retirement home!

The Fight to Stop the Corporate Theft of the World's Water
By Maude Barlow and Tony Clarke
New Press — 278pp — $25.95
Drought, Flood, Folly, and the Politics of Thirst
By Diane Raines Ward
Riverhead Books — 280pp — $24.95
Summer, for most of us, means water-soaked fun at a pool, lakeside, or beach. But as we nonchalantly paddle about, the world's water supply is imperiled. Consider some of this year's headlines: Unprecedented wildfires in Arizona fueled by moisture-starved brush. Hydropower shortages in the Pacific Northwest. Creeping desertification of farmland in the Midwest, Central Africa, and East Asia. The situation is grim and getting worse.
It's a crisis that goes largely unacknowledged. The reason, argue two recent books, is that the developed world's technical mastery over water has led to a false sense of security. In Blue Gold, activists Maude Barlow and Tony Clarke offer an angry and persuasive account of how this has damaged the environment and how the privatization of once-public water resources threatens to exacerbate the problem. In Water Wars, conservationist Diane Raines Ward provides a less polemical, more engaging story of "drought, flood, and folly" across the planet.
Both books marshal abundant data to support their conclusions. Global consumption of water is doubling every 20 years, twice the rate of population growth, observe Barlow and Clarke. Worse, toxins from cities, factories, and farms are spoiling freshwater supplies: More than half the world's rivers are polluted. Meanwhile, as Ward details, lowlands around the world are engaged in a losing fight against rising sea levels.
Sometimes, the books' flow of statistics can be numbing. For example, Blue Gold notes that the earth has 330 million cubic miles of water, but just 8,000 cubic miles available as circulating freshwater. Is that a lot or a little?
Yet the authors more than compensate for such lapses, while tackling the crisis from different angles. Blue Gold describes the moneyed interests plunging into the water business. It tells how Perrier, Evian, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo–and particularly the French giants Vivendi and Suez–are buying up rights to mine free public aquifers, then bottling and selling their products around the world. Blue Gold's central question: Is access to water a fundamental right, or is water a salable good? If it's a right, then countries have a duty to distribute water to their citizens. But if considered a good, water gets caught up in the calculus of profit maximization.
Clearly, the authors are in the rights camp, holding that local communities should set water policy. But they make a strong case that the water-as-commodity view is winning. A spate of rulings by the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank treat water as an economic good. And many poor countries, unable to afford the capital costs, have invited private companies to run their water systems, sometimes ceding control to foreign interests. "Maximizing profit is the prime goal, not ensuring sustainability or equal access to water," write Barlow and Clarke.
Their stance is well-served by a description of U.S. engineering giant Bechtel Group Inc.'s disastrous 1998 investment in the water system of Cochabamba, Bolivia. To recoup its spending on infrastructure, Bechtel raised water fees so high that the poor could not afford them. The resulting riots led to the ejection of Bechtel and the return of the assets to public management. "Cochabamba" has since become a rallying cry for activists opposing similar privatizations elsewhere.
Water Wars, despite its action-movie title, doesn't draw such sharp lines between good and bad. Ward's intent is to describe mankind's complex relationship with water. She is fascinated by such megaprojects as Holland's $8 billion system of storm-surge gates that can seal off Rotterdam harbor from North Sea storms. Visiting the ruins of a 5,000-year-old dam in the Egyptian desert, she reflects that the urge to find, dam, and channel water is one of the earliest spurs to technological advancement.
Yet Ward is saddened by our destructive treatment of water. Evaluating megascale projects, she finds that many costs come with the benefits. Dams, for example, are built to irrigate land for farming. But poorly designed dams let sediment accumulate behind them, starving downstream farms of nutrients.
Indeed, many of the 20th century's greatest victories are double-edged when it comes to water. Ward talks to countless people caught up in the contradictions. One is Jacobus Van Dixhoorn, director of the Netherlands' water-control bureau, who lives on a farm below sea level. He explains how the centuries-old Dutch obsession with holding back the sea has resulted in some of the world's most uneconomic farmland, maintained only by a massive network of dikes and pumps. Like much of Ward's book, the tale is at once compelling and sad.
Both books suffer from lack of illustrations. They're packed with explanations of water-control structures and the physical features of the hydrosphere–but rely on words alone to tell how over-irrigated land can turn snow-white with deadly salt, or where the shrinking Ogllala Aquifer in the Western U.S. lies.
Still, the words alone are plenty to inspire and alarm. Blue Gold will make you want to waste less water, while Water Wars may induce you to visit the Hoover Dam. Together, they make the point that the lifeblood of planet earth can't be taken for granted.

and for the other 3 i dont mind..who ever
i'm so agree with your choice!!!
i like john wayne...though right now, he's not visible but i think he can portray tsukasa without so much sweat!
if you watched "spirit" , you would know what i'm talking about...he's more a "bad" guy look than raver... :p
uhm....at least it's on kapamilya!

no comment i dont know any filo acters
<--too busy to hear you
As much as I like Sarah, it's time for Maja to get a lead role!
She's a REALLY good actress! (not that sarah isnt any good but I think Maja will nail SanCai role.)
This is kinda random but I was thinking of Rafael Rosell for DMS/Domyouji/GJP
And RAYVER?! Ugh, is it just me or his name only got noticed after he is/was linked to Sarah?
Piolo already has Lovers In Paris remake
No to Sam Milby, Zanjoe, Jon Avila, because they need more acting workshops!
The boys are too young to be the guys in F4. Sarah is good and for me she fits the role of being the tough poor girl in the story. But, The teenage boys, i dont think they will fit. But who knows, ABS-CBN can waive magic in their hands. Nevertheless, i am quite excited thinking about it.

yeah.. you got the point!
Yeah, politicans and celebrities that waste their millions on sh*t like that, and they don't give a f*ck about the poor, the children or something silly like the betterment of society. In fact they're the one's stealing money from the people, further making the country's poverty line even more prominent. Come on, the billions of dollars (American dollars) Marcos accumulated over his reign, investing his money in properties all around the world and holding his fortunes in multiple Swiss and German accounts is just a testament of how horrible it is.
But then again, doesn't this sh*t happen all over the world? So we can't say that these other countries are all that clean cut either. I know I might have contradicted myself here, with that little rant I made over the sh*tty Fil government. I'm just giving my two cents.
It's going to be another My Girl
It will be tough keeping up with the Taiwanese, Japanese & Korean F4!
Good luck to ABS CBN!
and SARAH?????
Lol, next a Chinese one, and then this? Lol.
yay! sarah geronimo! do your best!

Ston and Mali Ston
Ston, Croatia
Ston and Mali Ston Reviews
133 reviews
Undervisited Treasures! May 28, 2007
Ston and it's neighbor Mali Ston are about an hour drive from Dubrovnik, located on the Peljesac peninsula. There are no big tourist resorts in this area but the history and breathtaking views are worth the drive alone. Not to mention the largest fortified wall in Europe and at the time of completion, second in size only to the Great Wall of China!
Mali Ston was founded in 1335 as part of the Republic of Ragusa (Dubrovnik). Basically, it's purpose was a defensive town. The Fortress of Koruna rises above the village and is visible for some distance. The port of Mali Ston was completed in 1490 and has some similarities to the port of Dubrovnik with three arsenals, the round tower, and the fortified port gate with a Romanesque statue of St. Blaise.
Just southwest of Mali Ston is the larger village of Ston which is connected by the large fortress wall which circles the village, up to the hilltop and Pozvizd Fortress. Following the lines of the isthmus, the walls meet Mali Ston. Ston was walled around the same time as Mali Ston but evidence suggests settlement back as early as prehistoric times. Later it became a center for salt mining, still continuing today.
When in Ston, make sure to wander around the salt mines and you obviously cannot miss the fortress walls. The village is very small with basically one main walk street. Definitely bring cash as these are small little restaurants and bars, most do not take credit cards as we found out! People are friendly and most spoke fairly good English.
Then walk down across the street to Mali Ston and check out the oyster and mussel farms that decorate the bay. If you like seafood, this is said the be the best place in Croatia to get it. Rumor has it that Italy even imports seafood from this region in Croatia!
If you are not part of a tour headed to Ston and Mali Ston, Dubrovnik offers bus service between the two areas.

TORONTO (Jun. 17)
The 1965 campaign of Toronto's United Jewish Appeal, the central fund-raising organ, was closed here with the total reaching $2,750,000, an increase of $200,000 over last year, it was announced here today by Samuel Zeldin, chairman of the campaign. A total of $2,450,000 has been pledged to date with an additional $300,000 expected to be raised from cards still outstanding.
In his report on the campaign, Mr. Celdin said that substantial increases were effected this year in the number of workers taking part in the campaign, in the hundreds of new contributors as well as in the amount raised. He said he was sure that the upward trend would continue "next year and in the years to come." Morris B. Kaufman has been named chairman of the 1966 campaign.

Student Film Festival was last night. 'twas excellent. leaving in a few hours to fence at OSU and kick some buckeye ass.

I'm not too big on rap, yet I like Jurassic 5. They rap with an old school flavor that in a way that is refreshing from crap stuff like Nelly or Nellie or eminem or M&M or Method Man or Red Man or Colostomy Man just to name a few. i haven't done my research but i have a feeling they started out as a freestyle rap group along the lines of Freeway. It's nice. Anyway, here's What's Golden.

The fourth installment of my question-and-answer video show, where I take up questions subscribers and commenters have asked me in my videos and answer them as best I can. Questions in this video:
(1) I'm guessing that you're YouTube blog has exploded in popularity after the Going Clear documentary appeared on HBO this week, kudos to you for keeping this conversation going. I'm becoming obsessed, this unraveling is and will continue to be super fascinating! Question: The comment has been made online that Cults don't often "end well". Do you fear, or suspect that as this "Church aka Cult" goes over the cliff, that members will drink the proverbial Kool Aid, take up arms or (fill in the bad ending blank here).
(2) I'm a never-in and have a question for you. Some time ago I was contacted by Scientology trying to update their mailing list. I politely told the woman she had the wrong person and good bye. Then the harassment started. Calls at all hours, texts, etc. I scoured the blogs for information and advice. I finally just blocked numbers and didn't answer any unknown calls. I also turned my phone off at night. Here's the thing: I went from someone who didn't have an opinion about Scientology (sure Tom Cruise is weird, but he's also an actor and you expect a bit of oddity) to someone who now is working to eliminate a dangerous cult. So here is my question: Why didn't Scientology go away when they had confirmation that they had the wrong person? By their own admission the person they were looking for was in another city.
(3) I'm a huge fan/follower of your YouTube channel. In your opinion, why aren't the police or the FBI looking into Scientology's torture claims more thoroughly or raiding the Gold Base and rescuing all the parishioners? And why aren't ex-Scientologists that were physically abused by David Miscavige moving forward with assault and battery charges? I mean the government has task forces for anti-human trafficking and child abuse. Why do you feel Scientology and David Miscavige are so untouchable?
(4) I enjoy your YouTube channel. I've watched a lot of videos from you and other ex-Scientologists. I have many many questions…but here's one for today. Can they enforce / have they enforced the so called "freeloader debt"? Is that something they use to scare people thinking about leaving? Or have they ever actually taken someone to court to recover these alleged debts? If so, has a judge or jury (of non-Scientologists) ever awarded the Church money from ex-parishoners? And can a "billion year" religious contract be enforced?
(5) Great videos, Chris. I often think that the dismantling of the church will be achieved not by anger but by kindness. Your unique brand of thoughtfulness and charity is an inspiration.Here's a question for you: If Hubbard were to return to planet Earth today, what do you think he would make of the church's current state? What changes, if any, do you think he would make? And what would be the first thing he would say to David Miscavige?

'Possibilities are endless' for Carver Center student
Published 4:22 pm, Tuesday, April 14, 2015
Mushed-up bananas and mud were two of the key ingredients for Carver Center sixth-grader Cole Pool's award-winning science fair project, which brought home a first-place medal in microbiology from the junior life sciences division of the State Science and Engineering Fair of Texas in San Antonio last month.
The project, "The Effects of Bananas on Microbial Fuel Cells," and its first-place ranking put Cole among 1,600 students nationwide who will have a chance to be one of 300 chosen to present their projects later this year to the National Board of Science in Washington, D.C., and potentially meet with the president.
"It's very exciting," said Cole's science teacher, Leesha Seidel. "I told (Cole) that he is probably on every college's radar now. The possibilities for him are endless because his name is out there now and so is Carver's."
Cole said he got the idea for the project a few years ago when his mother shared a magazine article with him about the "electricity-generating microbes" that power the fuel cell.
"(We) thought it would be cool to make a battery out of it just through the mud," Cole said. "Then, three years later I decided to make a science fair project on it."
While he could have chosen nearly any fruit for the project, Cole said he chose bananas because they "are one of the higher producers of electricity and they are one of the most commonly bought fruits" -- not to mention that they are "easy to mush up and put into mud."
Cole said a future science fair project may be a continuation of this year's project.
"I might continue this one using other fruits, higher amounts or a wider range of fruits," Cole said. "I'm not sure what exactly to do, but I'm thinking of continuing the project."
Seidel said that the five Carver sixth-graders who participated in the statewide science fair competed against seventh- and eighth-graders and that while Cole was the only one to place at the state fair, all of the students were in the top 36 in their field.
"For him to win first as a sixth-grader was amazing," Seidel said. "He was disappointed after the first round of judging. He was really worried about the girl next to him, so I told him to go back in there and fight for it, and he did."
Principal Amanda Magallan said this was the first year for Carver Center to participate in the state fair and she was impressed by the students' performances and is excited at the potential to expand a science fair program on her campus.
"It was an exciting experience and we look forward to Ms. Seidel continuing this next year. I feel like it sets the bar high for not only the students but for the teachers to make sure that they get kids to perform to that level" Magallan said. "As a gifted and talented campus, we have to make sure that we are pushing kids to their potential, and sometimes it's into microbiology, even though microbiology isn't something that we typically study in sixth grade."
She said that while sixth-graders are the only students at the school with the opportunity to advance, the school has been "discussing expanding (the science fair) so that it is a campus-wide project."
