Abilities
1- From canon: Naras, Inuzakas, Yamanakas, Akamichis, Kurama, Aburame, Sarutobi,- have unique and specific jutsus.
Hyuuga, Senju, Uchiha, Aburame (sort of)- have bloodline limit
What I gather from that: A clan needs to have some unique abilities in order to be considered a clan. Whether it's a bloodline or just a unique method of fighting/being useful to the village.
----
2- From canon: Senju Harishama had the Mokuton. Senju Tobirama had his Suiton skills. Tsunade... er well super strength and healing.
What I gather from that: Not all clan members have the same ability. Not all skills can be inherited/passed on even if they are some sort of bloodline limit.
---
3- From canon: Hatake Kakashi has a sharingan eye. Yamato has Mokuton. Danzo...well you know.
What I gather from that: Bloodline abilities can be taken/implanted and used by non-clan members.
Also, the fact that Kakashi was able to keep his Sharingan eye- does that show that The Uchiha didn't have the power to take it back from him? Did the Hokage intervene there somehow- surely they wouldn't have been happy with it.
Clan politics.
1- Canon: Hyuuga branch members have seals on them. Almost like slaves.
What I gather from that: The Hokage doesn't seem to have a say in clan politics/issues of inheritance/how clan members get treated by the clan head.
---
2- Canon: Uchiha Massacre, sealing the powers of Yakumo Kurama (from the anime filler only)
What I gather from that: If the clan/a member of a clan is deemed a threat to the village, the Hokage has the power to step in and deal with it in any way possible.
---
3- Canon: Nara Shikaku is jounin commander. Yamanaka Inoichi works in T&I.
What I gather from that: Just because you're a clan head, doesn't mean you can't have a high position in the village. Or well, being a clan head doesn't exempt you from important positions.
---
4- Canon: Root members include a Yamanaka and Aburame.
What I gather from that: Danzo is evil and smart. And clan heads can't control everything their clan members do, unless you're the Hyuuga who put seals on your members.
Some notes
1- Hatake- It's never really mentioned as a clan in canon. It's just the family name for Kakashi and Sakumo both of whom became famous for their skills in battle.
2- Pre-shinobi village era- there must be some relation to being a clan prior to the formation of the village system under a Kage. So clans need to have a history from prior?
Interesting random things I've come across
1- Final Fantasy A+ by Mousekliks
This is an old flash movie/animation that's absolutely hilarious. As the name implies, it's a sort of parody of a Final Fantasy series. It's bound to make you laugh even if you haven't really played any FF games. (But it's funnier if you're familiar with the gameplay) And maybe inspire you a bit- it helped me write out a bit of ch 10!
2- Untold Stories by Teh-Akuma-Yoru [Naruto fanart]
This artwork got recommended to me. At first I was like- that's not very artsy looking. But I scrolled down and saw the story #3- Lamentation. And wow. Just... wow! Those few panels were worth so many words. Heartbreaking but awesome.
Polar
P.S- I've been toying with the idea of creating a separate story on ffnet- mostly it would be a collection of extra scenes from AtO, things that don't really have a lot to do with the plot- just scenes that take place in that universe- kind of like an omake series. Is it better to open a new story or just place the omakes at the end of my chapters? Or should I just not put that stuff up?
P.P.S- 6132 words... Things have been unusually slow- must be all the summer diversions that's been keeping me away from writing.
P.P.P.S - Ghosts...hmmm yeah, well I suppose that's interesting. I'm actually way more interested in Edo Tensei. Zombies ftw! *insane laugh*

Harry Potter Crossover Romance
I guess this was sort of inspired by some of the reviews I got and some of the stories I've read. I'm not a big fan of romance, so obviously this post is going to be a bit crack-tastic/odd/silly/I-can't-believe-you-wrote-that/what-have-you-been-smoking?/please-just-stick-to-writing-ch10.
Er, well I'm going to try and show you what comes to my mind when I think of certain Naruto pairings (both het and slash) in my AU. Not to be taken seriously. Or even hopefully.
Harry Potter X Hinata Hyuuga
Harry fiddled with his green yukata and patted his hair nervously. I can't avoid the festival, I need to be there to make a good impression with the other people.
Harry walked out of his apartment and into the crowded streets down below. He'd barely entered the main area of the festivities before he bumped into someone. A very familiar someone.
Harry bowed to the man and was surprised when he got a bow back.
"Uzumaki-san! We were never formally introduced. My name is Hyuuga Hiashi. And this is my oldest daughter Hyuuga Hinata."
Harry bowed and smiled at the teenager standing behind her father. "It's a pleasure to meet you both."
Hiashi suddenly smiled, "I'm actually very glad I've run into you. You see I've just been called away for some business. I was wondering what I'd do with my daughter. I don't want to leave her all alone for this festival."
Creepy smile. This is bad... Before Harry could say anything the man leaned forward and said, "Would you be willing to accompany her till I come back?"
Harry noticed the mortified look on Hinata's face and sighed. "Yeah sure. I'm happy to help!"
Hiashi moved to the side and waited for Harry to walk up to Hinata. "Hinata-san, is there anywhere you wish to go?"
Hinata shook her head violently.
"I see, well do you mind if we go search for my cousin? I'm sure Naruto is here somewhere!"
"Na..na...Na...Naruto?"
Harry paused when he caught sight of the girl's face. He panicked and rushed forward just as Hinata fell forward. "What in the world?" Harry gaped as he balanced the girl in his arms. "Did Naruto pull some sort of horrible prank on her?"
Harry rubbed the back of his neck wearily. Seriously how hard could it be to find the plant. Well this is the flower shop they told me about, might as well give it a try.
He opened the door and closed his eyes as the scent of different flowers washed over his senses. This definitely reminds of the Herbology Greenhouses. I think I can smell some Lillies and... Harry started as a loud crash disturbed the comfortable silence of the flower shop. He had barely opened his eyes before his vision got filled with light blond hair and blue eyes.
"Sasuke-kun!" A female voice said and grabbed hold of his neck tightly.
Harry winced. Oh dear!
Harry Potter X Tsunade
Harry trudged up the stairs of the Hokage monument with a sense of irritation. This is the second time she's called me up there. What's going on? I hope this is not another fixing job!
Harry knocked on the door to the Hokage's office.
"Come in, Harii."
Harry walked in and sighed in relief when he noticed the Hokage's table in one piece. I've lost count of the amount of times I've had to fix that. Tsunade leaned back in her chair and motioned for Harry to come closer. "Harii, I think there's something wrong with my shelves."
Harry turned to the right and gazed at the shelves built into the wall. "They're not broken."
"They seem a bit lop-sided, especially the very bottom."
Harry knelt down and examined the shelves dutifully. It seems perfectly fine. Harry stood up and jumped when he felt arms wrap around him.
"Harii, you're always so eager to help. I'm so glad when you take time to come here."
"Hokage- sama?" Harry turned back.
"Call me Tsunade!"
"Hokage- sama, you're drunk!" Harry said and winced when Tsunade tightened her arms around him.
"Don't be ridiculous Harii, one bottle of sake never hurt anyone. In fact maybe you need some so you can loosen up a bit, hmm?"
Harry contemplated how many spells it would take for him to escape the office without ending up like the Hokage's desk.
Harry Potter X Sakura Haruno
"Harii, I've brought you some lunch."
Harry looked up from his book and blinked as a heart shaped lunchbox was pushed towards his face. He took the box gently and smiled up at the girl in front of him. "Thanks Sakura. What's the occasion?"
"Is it odd for me to make lunch for a friend?" Sakura said and sat down beside Harry.
Harry moved away a little when Sakura sat a little bit too close to him.
"No, I was just wondering if you were going for some party or something." Harry said nodding to her different attire. He raised an eyebrow when Sakura giggled.
"It's nothing, Harii. I just wanted a change. Go on, eat!"
Harry was tempted to say no and leave but decided to bare with the weirdness for the free food. He opened the box, ignored the odd heart shaped arrangement of the food, took a bite of one of the riceballs and promptly sputtered. "That's horrible! I think you forgot to..."
He paused when he caught sight of the angry twitch on her forehead and couldn't quiet dodge her fist fast enough. As his vision went black, Harry wondered just what he had done to deserve that.
Harry Potter X Itachi Uchiha
"What are you doing?" Harry frowned at the other man's tight grip on his arm.
Itachi glanced down pointedly.
Harry twitched. "It's a puddle! What could possible happen if I stepped in a muddy puddle?"
Itachi just tightened his hold on Harry's arm and tugged. Harry shut his eyes as the world warped around them for a few seconds and gripped, "What the... it's a puddle! And...woah!"
Harry fell to the ground with a hard thud and watched with wide eyes as Itachi slid into a battle stance in front of him. The puddle expanded and took the form of a large man. Harry barely stood up before the battle concluded in the most anticlimatic way- the large man screamed and fainted.
Harry glanced at Itachi and found bright red eyes staring at him. "You could have just said something."
Itachi gave him a look and came closer.
"Well geez, it's not like I can understand all your silent looks. Even if you did give the puddle a pointed look, how was I supposed to know... ouch! What are you doing?"
Harry winced when Itachi prodded his wrist. I must have sprained it when he pushed me down.
"I'm sorry!" Itachi whispered as his eyes went back to a dull black.
Harry rolled his eyes and passed his holstered wand over the wrist, "I can fix it!"
"We should find a place to rest!"
Harry frowned, "It's not even dark yet."
"You need rest!"
"For what?"
Itachi didn't reply but grabbed a hold of Harry's arm and teleported away. Harry stumbled as they stopped at a clearing. Itachi poked Harry's forehead with his fingers and said, "Sleep."
Harry opened his mouth to protest but the world around him swayed. He faintly registered arms holding him before the world turned dark.
There were more, but I think this is long enough for this post. Have I sort of traumatized you? Or did I manage to make you smile?
Polar.
P.S. Yeah... so definitely no romance in AtO.
P.P.S. 1000 words for ch 10 somehow managed to get written between yesterday's post and today's.
P.P.P.S There are some really good french fics out there. And while it does take me a while to decipher the meanings of things- it's really enjoyable!
