History Fanfic / SugarPlums

* TheBigGuy: Gonmaru and Suigetsu, Gonmaru who is physically tough and Suigetsu who's family secret [[MakingASplash ninjutsu]] makes him damn near invulnerable to most traditional attacks. Ume herself is this for her team since out of the three she's the only one who specializes in close combat, it is for this reason she's annoyed when her teacher insists on ending her name chan.

* ButIReadABookAboutIt: This is how Ume explains away knowledge and skills she shouldn't have most of the time. This comes back later when she shows that she can drive a car when she throws an operators manual at Mitsuki who calls her out on this revealing that she did in fact read a book about cars.

* TheCoup: Averted, Zabuza's coup is discussed and reasoned to not actually have been an actual coup since even if Zabuza had killed the Mizukage, he likely would have been killed immediately afterwards for doing so because there are other shinobi in the village stronger then he is rather than been having taken the position but was willing to risk it because he thought Yagura was [[IDidWhatIHadToDo bad for the village]]. It's later revealed that [[spoiler:had he succeeded, he would have simply gone off to die in battle as he would have lost his purpose since he himself was Yagura's tool.]]

* MilitarySchool: The ninja academy, though unlike in Konoha it's more of a boarding school situation.

* PreventTheWar: Not done by the main characters, but it's shown that expanding pressure of the borders being closed in story is building up to create another civil war, which several factions try to quell to prevent. [[spoiler:It doesn't work.]]

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Lying in the dirt dying from her injuries and completely helpless, Ume gives one to [[spoiler:Obito of all people, basically calling him out on the fact that he completely decimated the Land of Water controlling Yagura, closing the borders, causing the genocide of all the blood limits which pushed everything over the edge into a violent civil war as revenge for what happened to Rin. Especially since Rin would never have wanted any of that.]]

* SarcasticConfession: When Ume get's called out on lying about how she acquire skills, she usually says she was some expert in that field in a previous life rather then someone who in a previous life just dabbled in it as a hobby.

* ThingsGetReal: Because of the chaos caused by [[spoiler:Zabuza's coup]] lieu of their graduation exam, the main characters graduating class are [[spoiler:immediately promoted to genin then sent to the wall to defend the village from the last stand of the Kaguya. It does not go well.]]

** Chapter 70: [[spoiler: Where we learn about the reasons for the bloodlimit genocides and find out that Hiroshi is being controlled by Tobito.]]

* WorldHalfFull: Kirigakure's is harsh, cutthroat, elitist and ruled with fear, but not a total dystopia as good people do exist who want change for the better. It'll certainly take time, but putting down the roots of real change is the goal of the rebellion.

* WorldHalfFull: Kirigakure's is harsh, cutthroat, elitist and ruled with fear, but not a total dystopia. Most of the pressure built over the series is created by the borders being closed making trade impossible and forcing everyone to push together so the entire populace doesn't starve among other things.

* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Ume since she was reincarnated from an adult is fairly intelligent, but she doesn't show that side of herself to adults unless she's forced too or she trusts them. This paired with the fact that she acts immature a lot of the time usually deflects the attention off of her.

* CivilWar

* TrapMaster: Manami

* ThingsGetReal: Because of the chaos caused by [[Zabuza's coup]] lieu of their graduation exam, the main characters graduating class are [[immediately promoted to genin then sent to the wall to defend the village from the last stand of the Kaguya. It does not go well.]]

* BlufftheImposter: [[spoiler: When Ume is being held hostage in interrogation she does this to a genjutsu user posing as Kiriko.]]

* TheCoup: Averted, Zabuza's coup is discussed and reasoned to not actually have been an actual coup since even if Zabuza had killed the Mizukage, he likely would have been killed immediately afterwards for doing so because there are other shinobi in the village stronger then he is rather than been having taken the position but was willing to risk it because he thought Yagura was [[IDidWhatIHadToDo bad for the village]]. It's later revealed that [[spoiler:had he succeeded, he would have simply gone off to die in battle as he would have lost his purpose since he himself was Yagura's tool.]]

* TheMeddlingKidsAreUseless: For a long period of time, the main charactes can actually do very little to improve their situation or the situation of their village. This is actually noted several times in character as a major frustration simply because of the lack of information she has because the events in Kirigakure are not very well documented at all in the Naruto universe and most of the underlying problems of the village at least a decade if not centuries before she was born. This changes however once they catch up the the beginning of the series (the first eighty chapters or so take place starting five years before the start of the main series).

* "TheReasonYouSuck"Speech: Lying in the dirt dying from her injuries and completely helpless, Ume gives one to [[spoiler:Obito of all people, basically calling him out on the fact that he completely decimated the Land of Water controlling Yagura, closing the borders, causing the genocide of all the blood limits which pushed everything over the edge into a violent civil war as revenge for what happened to Rin. Especially since Rin would never have wanted any of that.]]

* ScrewThisI'mOutOfHere: During the first day of Kenjutsu class, Kisame comes to size up the class by fighting all of them. At the end of the fighting it's just him and Ume who takes one look at him and decides to turn face and flee.

PunchedAcrosstheRoom: [[Tsunade kicks Ume clear across a clearing after Ume spent a spectacular amount of effort pissing her off. It's not played for laughs because the resulting kick breaks her ribs with one of the piercing her lunges.]]

* HeroicB.S.O.D.: Ume has one after [[spoiler:most of her graduating class dies in the Kaguya invasion]].

* CombatPragmatist: Though standard for ninja, Ume takes it a step further and is not above biting, groin shots, and cutting someone off midspeech to get a hit in.

* TrapMaster: Manami
* TheUnfought: In story, a chance to fight both Kabuto and Kisame has come up for Ume, she of course sidestepped both of them, in Kisame's case, she just plain ran away.

It is a first person story about Ume, a girl who just like Shikako was reincarnated into the Naruto universe. Unlike Shikako, she wasn't born in Konoha, instead she was orphaned and then raised at an orphanage in another famous village, specifically Kirigakure, during the Village of the Bloody Mist.

Man she really had no idea how true that was.''

* TheDeterminator: While Ume is overcome a lot, she's shown to be this in regards to protecting her friends, so much so that [[spoiler: after what is several sessions of physical torture as well as interrogations when she won't cooperate when Tobi/Obito appear to try and force her to talk with his sharingan, she [TongueTrauma: ''bites through her tongue''] so she can't spill the beans.]]

* RavenHair,IvorySkin: Kiriko is described as this in particular and being considered traditionally beautiful. Dark eyes and dark hair is also the most common phenotype in Kirigakure.
