I actually got a flame for not teaching Naruto Kage Bunshin, when hes in Sunagakure.

Kinda odd.

 

Lmao. And I have seen him dumb. Fics ive seen portray him as a pervert or romantic sap. See True Power, Where the loyalties Lie, alot of Naruto meets Kyuubi at young age, etc.

 

On the Naruto merges with Kyuubi cliche' I only know of a few that are any good, Foxhound by far being the best and my all time favorite.

Same goes for the 'Kittling' and 'new body for kyuubi' only decent one with those and an intelegent Kyuubi I found is Fortunes Fool. Don't get me wrong theres many good ones but only a few I actualy liked enough to remeber.

 

Ah yes, those are all horrible cliches. It is funny, because in the fic i am writing there is a few cliche, but none of those mentionned before. And naruto doesn't learn kage bushin... Well, he knows it, but he can't use it, so...

A few other cliche:
-Haku being a woman
-Haku not dying
-Naruto wearing a mask and is in fact a genious (i am not saying Naruto is stupid, i just don't see him as a genious)
-Sasuke being a loyal friend who is just misunderstood.

Edit: if you want a decent Naruto learns of the Kyuubi younger, read Arkhe's "fox identity", where naruto believes he is the Kyuubi and plan revenge on the village. Very good, and we still don't know if Naruto *really* is the Kyuubi.

 

kage bunshin is a kinjutsu of konoha..

that flamer was a real bakakage

 

What kind of mask Arkeus, cause the cloth ones help cover his whisker marks. If you mean an emotional mask, yea thats Kinda cliche.

@Blackstar. Yes the flamer was an idiot.

 

Both an emotional mask, and a kakashi mask. Especially in "raiseed by Kakashi" fics. Those two are sooo cliche. It's like "i don't like how Naruto is, so i will just say he hides his emotions..." ah well...

Of course, there are good fics with emotional masks, but every cliche has a good exception.

 

Ah, but you forgot two important things:

1. Kyuubi is a 1000+ year old demon with endless amounts of knowledge, wisdom, and urges to kill pitiful humans, and that knowledge probably contains at least one possible way to block his thoughts from leaking out.

2. Canon Naruto is kinda stupid. He probably could[/] find a way to listen to Kyuubi's thoughts, but he is just too stupid to actually think of a way to do it. Or the thought never passed his mind to begin with.

Of course, these facts could be influenced by the fact that I've been reading Naruto fanfiction as long as I've stopped watching those stupid fillers.

gah, I sound too confident about this and too technical. *bonks head with cheese grater*

 

Fillers...Work of Evil.

What i think is that it works like talking: Naruto has to think in a particular direction for Kyuubi to hear them. But i could be wrong.

-Itachi going good. This is so far outside canon that it is almost an instant stop when i find this, and believe me, i find it a lot.

On the other hand, i only saw once Naruto read icha icha, except on hpcrossover.

 

Another cliche that's kinda annoying.

-Kagegakure (Hidden Village of Shadows).

Come on, are you so unoriginal you can't come up with something better? I'd hate to see the title for their Kage. Would be embarassing to have a Kage of Kage country....

 

I Have probably seen this village maybe twice reading Naruto fanfics. How does that make it a major cliche?

I just dont like the "Alchmey" Hidden Villages I have seen.

 

I think the "Alchemy" villages are made when trying to make a crossover between FMA and Naruto, but I suppose this cliche would cover most of the new Hidden village stuff:

- A mysterious Hidden village gets discovered that just happens to be uberly powerful and was lost throughout time/hidden and incommunicable.

 

Gotta disagree on the Kage Bunshin one. Overall, it's a pretty damned useful technique, and each village seems to have its own 'advanced' clone technique (Mizu Bunshin, Suna Bunshin, et cetera). I think it mostly just makes sense for any decent Naruto to learn it, seeing as so many Konoha shinobi use it. I originally was going to avoid it in my own story, but I've found it strategically useful in my battle scenes and intend to have it used in his stronger custom hybrid jutsus later. Naturally, when he's raised outside Konoha and has no contact with Konoha-nins who would know it and be willing to teach it to him, it only makes sense that he not have it. At least, I can promise that Naruto will NEVER use Hiraishin or the Rasengan in my story.

 

Actualy, if you have read "Kakashi Gaiden", you can remember that the Rock nin used Kage Bushin. So it may not be a "Konoha only" technique. And yes, I am trying to find an original technique for Naruto to have too, as rasengan and Hirashin, as powerful as they were, or not Naruto's, so...

 

I was just reading a story now, still not sure if its any good or not but giving it a shot, and this cliche come to mind.

- A new store opens up for Naruto where the proprieter doesn't know of his little furry problem. What are the odds that on the exact day and time that Naruto finally gets off his ass to look for something better or is ordered to by some higher power, that the store just so happens to be opening just then and Naruto is the first customer and even more they aparently have exactly what he could need.

I'd like to read a fic where he finds a new shop enters and spends awhile browsing only to discover he has no use for anything. So he leaves in a pissed mood at wasting all that time and maybe even now has a new prank target if the owner or sales person got on his nerves.

 

• Yaoi starting off as did i say he's cute/sexy/hott?
• Naruto trains Sasuke and Sakura.
• Creation of Akatsuki Members (may seem a bit picky, but me = Akatsuki Whore. only person who could make akatsuki member is kishi.)
• Ubah OC Sensei.
• Uzumaki Clan (usually an excuse for his ubahly pwrz, can be done well though).
• Kyuubi never really attacked the Village. He was tricked by __________ into attacking the Village. Kyuubi was always a kind-hearted Bijuu despite his status as the Blood Crazed King of Bijuu.

 

Naruto training Sasuke and Sakura isn't so common that it is a cliche, is it? I can only remember two (good) stories where it's done, those being red crow's and arkhe's.

-Iruka being kickass but not wanting to show Naruto his "bad side" during the Mizuki fight.
-Hinata actualy being very skilled and powerful, but she doesn't want to hurt other people.

 

I disagree with this one. Mainly because most stories never get that far, and there is still a memeber we do not know of.

 

I remember a story where a Hyuuga version of Itachi and some sort of Aburame freak was created, and the Akatsuki Leader was some sort of lazy kid.

 

I remember reading a story (Nindo) that the author had created members for every Biju, and Akatsuki out there. Including a few extras to flesh out their story... Though the story wasn't half bad, but he ended up stopping like 5 chapters from the final battle between Naruto and the leader of the Akatsuki.
