History Fanfic / AGrowingAffection

* SenpaiKohai: The honorific senpai is used frequently (particularly Yugao to Kakashi). The Kouin sisters refer to Sasuke as 'kohai' and Kabuto as 'senpai'.

* HasTwoMommies: The children of [[spoiler:Shizune and Hana]].

* ACupAngst: Sakura has it every now and then in the story, but by the time of [[spoiler:Naruto and Hinata's wedding]], where even other kunoichi several years her junior are better endowed than her, she gets over it.[[spoiler:..mostly because her boyfriend Rock Lee doesn't see an issue with it]].

-->''"I am [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking the Kazekage]]. You are one of the Leaf's top Jonin. We will think of something."''

* BareYourMidriff: The Kouin sisters' "uniforms".

** See TheCameo and Myth/ClassicalMythology above.

* SempaiKohai: The honorific senpai is used frequently (particularly Yugao to Kakashi). The Kouin sisters refer to Sasuke as 'kohai' and Kabuto as 'senpai'.

* TheCameo: Though mentioned only in name, it seems [[Franchise/GIJoe Thomas Arashikage]], [[Manga/FlameOfRecca Recca Hanabishi, Yanagi Sakoshita]], and [[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm Cameron Watanabe]] are all Leaf ninjas.

* GirlWithPsychoWeapon: Sakura and her [[{{BFS}} big honking]] [[AnAxeToGrind axe]]. Sol and Luné and their shortswords.

* WeaponOfChoice:
** Naruto's is a staff blade. [[spoiler:Just like Hizashi's]].
** Hinata's are her bracers and Sakura has her axe and bow and arrows.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
** Hinata has to give Hanabi one in chapter 23, complete with ArmorPiercingSlap.
** She gives another to Sakura in 53.

* ArmorPiercingSlap:
** In the first chapter, a distraught, heartbroken, and humiliated Hinata gives one to Naruto, thanks to her overhearing an out-of-context conversation Naruto, Sakura and Shikimaru were having.
** She later gives one to Hanabi after her sister badmouths Naruto in an already tense discussion.
** Ino gives one to Kiba in chapter 71.

* TurtlePower: Tenten's summoning contract.

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Hanabi. Kakashi calls Naruto his honorary one.

* ArcWords: "Rank does not equate to skill", said a few different ways, and essentially the ArcWords for books one and two. Arguably the title also applies.

* MsFanservice: Ino, Nyoko, and Kaede during the Beach arc. Ino and Nyoko try to outdo each other in attracting male attention. Until they lose to Kaede jsut by her appearing, and decide to try to join forces against her.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: In addition to the included members of the regular cast, the fic promotes many secondary and filler characters, and adds a number of [[OriginalCharacter OCs]].

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Yukihana. Ayameko has gradient colored hair. The Kouin sisters have blue hair, but one of them changes it to green.

* MulticoloredHair: Ayameko's hair is blue on the right and slowly changes to purple on the left.

* MonsterSobStory: The Two Tails was originally just a normal housecat. The Nine Tails when talking about [[spoiler:Madara]].

* LoveRedeems: [[spoiler:Erica was an assassin from the Cloud sent to the Akatsuki to entice and kill Itachi. Obviously she fails and they fall in love, eventually getting married and having a daughter.]] Unfortunately, [[StuffedIntoTheFridge it's not enough to save her from the fridge.]] Played straight with [[spoiler:Konan, whose love for Nagato convinces her to change sides for his safety]].

* StuffedIntoTheFridge: [[spoiler:Itachi's [[HoneyTrap former assassin]]/[[LoveRedeems wife]] Erica]]. By [[KickTheDog Madara]].

* WeddingDay: The last two chapters of the story each have one.

* FamousLastWords:
** "I wanted you three to know, that I was very proud to be your teacher. You will all do great things for the Hidden Leaf Vill..." [[spoiler:Might Gai]]
** "I'm sorry, [[spoiler:Kohaku]]. I hope you can find a way to live in this world, my love." [[spoiler:Gouki Namikaze]].

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: The only thing keeping Madara's allies from attacking and killing him is the fact that he is necessary to their plans. Otherwise, he'd be running from the ENTIRE NINJA WORLD and possibly [[MugglePower the civilians too]]. That's how much he's hated. Even ''Orochimaru'' has genuinely loyal followers.

* MixAndMatchCritters: Yuko is explicitly called "half-spider."

* MonsterIsAMommy: The Hunt Spirit would like her cub back, please.

* MySisterIsOffLimits: Implied of Gaara.

* NamedByTheAdaptation; Hiashi’s father is named Hyouta.

* MassiveMultiplayerScam:
** Neji's plan during the real SaveThePrincess arc
** Ino and Choji attempt to sneak in while disguised, Choji blows it
** Naruto and Hinata jump in to help, drawing out most of the guards, but ultimately slowly lose due to being outnumbered and under-equipped
** After the fight starts, Neji and Tenten use plan C, sneaking in the back; however, they are overwhelmed by the final guard, [[spoiler:the Reaper of Shinobi]]
** Neji orders a retreat
** [[spoiler:It was all a big distraction, so the real Naruto and Hinata (the ones fighting were clones) can sneak in and replace the hostages with Naruto's transformed clones. All so they would not be pursued (since they appeared to have failed), and Naruto could get a face to face with Gouki.]]
