Konoha no Senkou Arashi

The Heroine

Konoha no Senkou Arashi is a Naruto Fanfic by Minion of Set.

Synopsis: "She's finally become a shinobi, after years of acting the fool. Well, mostly acting anyway... FemNaruto NaruSasu. Not Yaoi."

Takes place in an AU where Naruto has been born a girl. Hinata and Naruto have been friends since early childhood and found out the secret behind which teams are assigned. Hinata strives to become the Top Kunoichi of the graduating class while Naruto permits herself to be the Dead Last of the class.

Similarly to canon, Uchiha Sasuke is the Top Shinobi of the graduating class. Hinata, Naruto, and Sasuke end up on Team Seven under Hatake Kakashi.

Tropes used in Konoha no Senkou Arashi include:

• Accidental First Kiss: Naruto and Sasuke on the day of team assignments.
• Action Girl: Naruto, Hinata, and Tenten.
• Big Brother Mentor: Sasuke to Inari.
• Bishonen: Naruto makes fun of Sasuke for being one.
• Blow You Away and Razor Wind: Naruto
• Book Dumb: The only part of Naruto's idiot act that required hardly any acting.
• The Chessmaster: Hinata, to a growing extent.
• Cool Teacher: Kakashi takes a more active role in training his team since their basics are all solid. (As opposed to in canon where Naruto lacks heaven and Sakura lacks earth.)
• Curb Stomp Battle: Hinata delivers these to her teammates whenever they spar in taijutsu.
  • Naruto gives one to Ino, when the latter challenges the former for Sasuke. Naruto was resigned to spar, until Ino refused to put her headband on, prompting Naruto to use her real skill. Then Ino insulted her best friend.
• Dance Battler: Naruto. Her taijutsu essentially harnesses her unpredictability into a disciplined but free-flowing style of spinning and flips. Its basis is Baguazhang.
• Dogged Nice Guy: Rock Lee to Naruto. She let's him down easy.
• Everyone Can See It: The only one that couldn't tell Sasuke likes Naruto, was Naruto.
• Eyes Always Shut: Naruto, when she's thinking or very content.
• Genki Girl: Naruto is very bubbly and almost never runs out of energy.
• Girlish Pigtails: Just look at the picture.
• Gratuitous Japanese: Prevalent in the fic's early publication, much less so after revision. Still peppered throughout the story.
• Heiress to the Dojo: Hinata's position as the Hyuuga heiress has been cemented by her increase in ability. And Hanabi has the Caged Bird seal as a result.
• If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...: Hinata gives this to Sasuke in regards to Naruto. Justified because she knows about the Mangekyo Sharingan, and the prerequisite for unlocking it.
• Instant Expert: Naruto uses the kage bunshin to accelerate training.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Sasuke can be abrasive and snide but considers his team's safety top priority. And he's trying to drop most of the Jerk part.
• Kleptomaniac Hero: Naruto is developing a habit of looting beaten enemies.
• Locked Out of the Loop: Naruto is the only one on the team that doesn't know Sasuke's brother massacred the Uchiha clan.
• Love At First Punch: Sasuke's attraction to Naruto started after she hogtied and kidnapped him.
• Manipulative Bitch: Hinata, though almost always in the interest of others. Especially Naruto.
• No One Gets Left Behind: Sasuke is inspired to adopt this mindset after listening to Kakashi's tale of Obito's death. He even considers Obito an ideal Uchiha for his actions.
• Obfuscating Stupidity: Naruto is quite sharp, and her friendship with Hinata helped her grow beyond Dead Last in skill. She pretended to be barely competent enough to graduate, ensuring her spot on the same team as Hinata.
• Official Couple: The Author has explicitly stated in the synopsis that the pairing is Sasuke/Fem!Naruto.
• Retcon: The fic has undergone several significant changes in revision.
  • In the original posting of the story, Naruto failed the exam and learned the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu in the same manner as in canon. She failed despite that her control was much better than in canon, and she had Hinata helping prepare her for a test anticipated years in advance. This was changed to Naruto passing the exam by making ten clones. Mizuki stole the scroll while the Hokage was preoccupied speaking with upset shinobi protesting Naruto becoming a ninja. She follows Iruka, and events play out with the same end results as in canon: Naruto is told about the Kyuubi and learns Shadow Clones.
  • Initially, during the Wave Arc, Naruto encountered a Sound ninja Gatou hired to help abduct Tazuna's family. In the revision, this ninja is replaced by Rokusho Aoi.
• Secret Secret Keeper: Hinata is this until chapter 7, where she reveals to Sasuke she knows about the Mangekyo
• She Is Not My Girlfriend: Sasuke claims this about Naruto when Inari points it out.

Sasuke: Our relationship is completely professional!

• Shout-Out: Tenten briefly uses a spear named Hozukimaru.
  • When Sasuke calls Hinata a cutthroat bitch.
• The Smart Girl: Hinata
• Spirited Competitor: Naruto and Rock Lee
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: Naruto and Hinata, respectively.
• Took a Level in Badass: Team 7 itself is much more capable than in canon, as it lacks a third member that can't do anything. Each genin grows stronger faster than canon, but Hinata is the standout case, Naruto's friendship having given her confidence years before graduation.
• Took a Level In Kindness: Sasuke. He mellows out a bit and learns to look outside of himself.
• Tsundere: Naruto. Usually on the dere side unless provoked. Usually by Sasuke.
• Unskilled but Strong: Hinata has put great effort into ensuring Naruto averts this, teaching her chakra control exercises at a young age and making sure Naruto maximizes her potential.
• UST: Naruto and Sasuke. Starting with their accidental First Kiss, escalating with a second surprise kiss Sasuke initiates, which only confuses them both. Resolved with a mutual third kiss as they both decide to hold off on dating for the sake of accomplishing their goals.
• Verbal Tic: Like, Naruto has this sometimes, ya know?
• Violently Protective Girlfriend: Sasuke invokes this to get rid of his fangirls, offering a date to any girl that can beat Naruto.
• Worthy Opponent: Sasuke acknowledges Haku as this.
• Wolverine Claw: Naruto's Weapon of Choice
• Would Hit a Girl: Sasuke doesn't have a problem punching either of his teammates. They can take it.
