Why do I expect Zabuza's going to encounter an "Uzu battle squad" while Team 18 is visibly guarding the bridge builder?
yes, it is, and Chouji, Ino, and Shikamaru are the 16th Generation of that combination
Sounds like iteration might be a better word - it doesn't have to have been passed down to clan heirs only, and the time between generations does have to be standard human generations.If the village has only existed for around 80 or so years at the time of Naruto's start, and before that ninja clans were constantly warring with each other so every clan had to stand on their own... How could there possibly have been 16 generations of the ino-shika-cho team?!
Possible they had an existing alliance prior to the village founding. I mean sure ninja clans were competing but I imagine there were at least some that worked together or allied. Probably not particularly common but its plausible. it still is rather questionable that this alliance lasted so long considering the competition of the era.If the village has only existed for around 80 or so years at the time of Naruto's start, and before that ninja clans were constantly warring with each other so every clan had to stand on their own...

I do believe that he's believed to be dead to most people in Invisible Fox and gets the mission there too...No matter how things change they stay the same. No matter how many rails are torn up and re-laid Naruto WILL go on The Wave Mission. I'm not even sure if being dead would stop it at this point.
Thanks for the chapter CmptrWz.
Konoha doesn't really have a uniform outside of "we're in a war and you will be wearing something properly protective, dammit!"
There are multiple traditions clashing in this story, and the one that's a village tradition (in this story at a minimum, but there are hints that it happens repeatedly in canon) won out over the tradition of some of the clans.Looking forward to Gato getting wrecked, however... you broke up the Ino-Shika-Cho. In case you aren't aware, that's a tradition as old as Konoha itself. You still have time to fix it since all you did was a team listing, but you'd better have a damn good reason if you leave it as it is now
Look, Hiruzen is so bogged down in paperwork that he hasn't had time in the past decade to improve anything. He can barely keep the status quo going! Please ignore him using the paperwork jutsu to no longer be bogged down in paperwork...I am seriously amused by the fact Orochimaru thinks the zombie 'attacks' were caused by one of his old experiments. Also that he thinks that those attacks mean the village will be easy to invade. When the reality is it'll be harder to invade due to the zombie attacks revealing just how unprepared the village was for an invasion.
The Uzu jounin got sick and tired of fancy-but-impractical outfits causing genin and chunin to be caught in a ship's rigging and successfully petitioned for fixed uniforms that had none of the stupid shit included when you knew you were being deployed onto a ship.If you're referring to Naruto's skirt, apparantly Uzu did have gendered uniforms, at least when it applied to being on ships with merchants. I guess to help the civilian merchants be able to identify them more easily at a glance?
Or maybe the Uzu jounin just couldn't resist dressing up their genin in "little ninja sailor outfits". They do seem to be being characterized as generally mischievous by nature.
I'm not sure if it's explicitly said at some point but is heavenly implied that they had an alliance before the formation of the hidden village.If the village has only existed for around 80 or so years at the time of Naruto's start, and before that ninja clans were constantly warring with each other so every clan had to stand on their own...

I never got why Ino-Shika-Cho was considered so strong. Sure there's significant synergy with the shadow hold + mind jutsu, but it's not like that's the only way to hold someone in place. And that's only two of the three.
It feels more like the kind of overly complex combo move that shounen anime loves, even if it's not actually all that practical outside of very specific cases.
Those 3 clans are incredibly close-knitI think it runs into the also old tradition of the 'Rookie of the Year', Strongest opposite gender, and dead last team. Which I think kind of is fanon, but for the purposes of this story is a tradition. And is there really a 'tradition' of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio? I don't recall it existing besides their parents having that formation as a team as well, no matter how prevalent it is in fanon of being a tradition. I'm genuinely not sure
It's your story, I just ask that you don't brush it offThere are multiple traditions clashing in this story, and the one that's a village tradition (in this story at a minimum, but there are hints that it happens repeatedly in canon) won out over the tradition of some of the clans.
Nothing says that the three can't team up as chunin, and learning tactics that aren't passed down through fifteen iterations of cookie-cutter team can only help them in the long run anyway
Does it though? I'd think not as if it's a bunch of chakra made mist it would deaden them as the Byakugan can't see through all the dense chakra. Mist was on the opposite side as Leaf in at least one of the four great wars, they probably fixed their elite jutsu so some random Hyuga can't mess everything up for them.there's also the fact that the Byakugan negates Zabuza's favorite tactic(Hiding in the Mist doesn't work against eh Byakuganlike it does against the Sharingan)
it does, as seen in the anime, alsochakra sensor abilities still work in the Mist.Does it though?

One, I'm going to start reading this now so thanks for that and Two I mean actually being dead not just thought to be dead, not having been replaced with the fox (as in The Empty Cage) or anything else. I mean his body straight up being dead and buried.I do believe that he's believed to be dead to most people in Invisible Fox and gets the mission there too...

Kisuke showed us that "ghosts" are canon and there's at least one Resurrection Justu to say nothing of anything out-of-context that could be thrown in so through some sort of shenanigans Naruto would wind up going on the mission to Wave with Tazuna. While being actually dead.
Nothing will stop Naruto from doing that missing. Short of Konoha being destroyed so there can't be a mission to Wave in the first place... . And Naruto would probably still wind up in Wave helping with that damn bridge.

That it counted as dressing the genin and chunin up in "little ninja sailor outfits" was a side benefit.
I think I remember that one. It was the one where Naruto was sent to infiltrate an all-female gathering of non-Konoha Kunoichi at a hot springs and he was chosen because between them, the other nations had ID'd almost all the other potential Konoha Kunoichi Infiltrator potentials.
While training to act as an actual female, Naruto almost got Iruka in trouble with Kurenai and during the mission, things went so sideways that when he returned, the mission report began with something along the lines of "The daimyo(?) of Stone says hi."
When it was revealed to Sasuke and Sakura just who the Kunoichi really was, Sakura had a brain-melt over the fact that Naruto had (accidentally) wooed Sasuke far better than she had been able to while Sasuke had no idea what to think.
And now I can't get the image of Uzu genin kunoichi going around in seifuku and indulging in occasionally elaborate windups for certain attacks. Some of which opposing forces really, really, really try to avoid being caught by for various reasons.Or maybe the Uzu jounin just couldn't resist dressing up their genin in "little ninja sailor outfits".

Given the presumed reputation of Uzu's fighting forces, I'm not sure that Zabuza would stick around if more than a single Uzu-associated individual was noted coming into the area.The gaslighting of Zabuza would also be an explanation for tracking down Gato to gaslight him before the looting takes place, while the gaslighting of Gato would let them learn about Gato's plan to backstab Zabuza and derail the fight on the bridge if Zabuza and Haku get away from the first fight to let Naruto track them down to be troll and both keep them from resting properly for the rematch as well as gaining information on them for said rematch.

Considering the traditional members of the Ino-Shika-Cho are all background characters at most and not particularly significant to the story as a whole, I'd be surprised if the matter is ever brought up in any detail in the future.
