comment
RED is a Naruto fanfiction which began as a collaboration between authors Sherbet Mayhem and Oil Pastel but was later continued singularly by Sherbet Mayhem, which crosses over with/is based on/is inspired by Markus Zusak's The Book Thief. Set in an alternate setting to BOTH stories, it features the cast of Naruto and mimics the writing style and follows the rough plot outline of The Book Thief. Konoha, no longer a village of ninja, replaces Germany, "Leaves" replace the Germans, the titular "Reds" replace the Jews and Orochimaru replaces Adolf Hitler. The story follows Sakura (who loosely takes the place of Liesel Meminger, the protagonist of The Book Thief), as she grows up in Konoha under the looming shadow of war, trying to come to terms with the increasing oppression of the Reds- most especially one Red who takes shelter in her family home, a boy named Uchiha Sasuke.While the story initially seems like nothing more than a Transplanted Character Fic, retelling the plot of The Book Thief with the names of Naruto characters and places plastered over the original story, it takes on a life of its own and deviates wildly from the original source material into unpredictable territory. Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke may have taken the roles of Liesel, Rudy and Max, but they make these roles their own and fill them out with their own personalities. The resulting story is gripping and emotional, not to mention a fascinating read as Sherbert Mayhem replicates the unique writing style of Markus Zusak, with the story narrated by a nihilistic, fourth wall-observing and somewhat Lemony Narrator who occasionally gives a guest spot to Death/Time in the form of a vulture.Now complete at 25 chapters.

Happily Adopted: Although most of Liesel's story about being adopted by the Hubermanns has been stripped out, it still mentions that Sakura was fostered (and apparently the 4th Hokage was responsible for her losing her "first Mother"). She loves both her parents unconditionally despite that.

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Sakura and Hinata; in chapter 12 Naruto explicitly describes Sakura as a woman of the daylight and Hinata as being one who would flourish in the night. Naruto and Sasuke, as in canon. Naruto is hot-blooded, idealistic and looks for a way to fight back for what's right; Sasuke is measured, realistic bordering on cynical, and always focused on how to survive.

Never Got to Say Goodbye: Tragically played with; when Sasuke is caught by Fang, he plays the role of an intruder who intended to rape and murder Sakura so her family won't be punished for sheltering him; Sakura manages to save his life by taking the deception one step further and insisting that he be sent to suffer in camp 001 rather than being executed. They can't even share a final look for fear of giving the truth away.

In a fairly blatant nod to a similar scene in Naruto, the scene where Naruto is taking Sasuke to safety on Crystal Night and a Red comes to Kakashi's door at the same time seems to be suggesting that Naruto is bringing Sasuke to shelter at Kakashi's house, before revealing he's actually taking Sasuke to shelter at Shikamaru's and the Red at Kakashi's door is Itachi come to ask Kakashi to look after Sasuke for him. The dialogue even matches up to make it seem like a single scene.

comment
Healing Factor: In the story's only real nod to non-metaphorical fantasy, Red's have special "superior" blood- it's compatible with any other blood type and has vaguely-defined regenerative properties- apparently it "heals well" and clots more consistantly than other blood groups. Although this attribute hasn't been displayed in the series yet Sasuke may be about to put it to the test after being shot and badly wounded in chapter 18.

Yank the Dog's Chain: Chapter 18 is basically this and the narrator even lampshades it. The opening of Chapter 20 briefly lets you think that Naruto is only dreaming of his hellish experience on the war front before revealing that no, he really is there and everything is as bad as he described. He's not even allowed to finish drawing his picture of Hinata for his letter to her. Chapter 21 is the worst of all. Sasuke is just able to be happy because Itachi is alive and with him again- only for Itachi to be killed in front of him. He even counts the order of the killing (only every second man is being shot) and it looks like Itachi will be spared, but then he's killed anyway.

Shout-Out: In the chapter 4, 'Howl', the book Sakura finds herself reading and eventually has no choice but to burn at the book burning is Jewish poet Allen Ginsberg's famous poetic work Howl (1955). Chapter 22 is called 'Heroes Come Back'. While it's referring to Naruto and Shikamaru returning alive from the Cloud front, it's also a reference to the first opening theme of Naruto: Shippuden (although that was the singular "Hero's Come Back").

Vitriolic Best Buds: Naruto and Sasuke. They started out despising each other on principle, getting into a series of brutal fights with each other in the schoolyard (with the score ending up at 12 wins for Sasuke, 10 for Naruto) until Sasuke was forced to drop out, by which time they were basically friends, although there's always a trace of snarkiness to their interactions.

The Blacksmith: Itachi and Sasuke run their parents' blacksmiths together. In 002, Sasuke is able to use his skills to leverage better working conditions for himself, Nagato and Yahiko.

Red Herring: When Neji makes his first appearance the scene just screams that he's going to be either The Mole or a Sixth Ranger Traitor- but not only is he as good as his word at helping FOX rob his father's mansion to help them buy supplies to give to the reds, in chapter 19 he is arrested by Fang for his actions.

Jerkass: Hidan. Nothing like the monster he is in Naruto canon, just a loud, abrasive, thuggish bully.

You Bastard!: The vulture puts the blame for Sasuke's suffering in chapter 21 on the reader, for continuing to read the story knowing that things will only get worse.

Cut Apart

comment
Cut Apart: In a fairly blatant nod to a similar scene in Naruto, the scene where Naruto is taking Sasuke to safety on Crystal Night and a Red comes to Kakashi's door at the same time seems to be suggesting that Naruto is bringing Sasuke to shelter at Kakashi's house, before revealing he's actually taking Sasuke to shelter at Shikamaru's and the Red at Kakashi's door is Itachi come to ask Kakashi to look after Sasuke for him. The dialogue even matches up to make it seem like a single scene. The trope is used again in chapter 23, merging the separate scenes of Hinata finding Sasuke and Konan and Naruto finding the two FANG guards who had killed Nagato a few days ago.
