In fact, let me share this list that someone on FF.net compiled about the standard cliches of a God/Evil Naruto fic:
I've recently found an interesting guide to an "Epic" Naruto story that I more or less agree with. Look down this list and think about how many stories you've read that have followed or based itself around at least some of this formula...
Step One: Naruto is being chased by an angry mob even though he's only three years old (barely old enough to wipe his own ass) and living alone for some reason.
Step Two: He trips and/or reaches a dead end (oh noooo's) and they proceed to inflict grievous, crippling, and all around over exaggerated unsurvivable wounds.
Step Three: After ten minutes of stabbing and beating (Which miraculously avoided his vitals) someone comes in to inflict the the final blows at the crowds jeering.
Step Four: In a 'thrilling' and 'suspenseful' moment a giant war-hammer is swung down on Naruto, only to be stopped an inch from his head by token superhero #25.
Step Five: Token superhero #25 yells at crowd. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THIS POOR BOY?!," crowd replies. "KILLING THE DEMON!" or the like. Slaughter ensues.
Step Six: Sarutobi and an Anbu squad show up. (perfect timing) Hokage confronts token superhero #25. "WHO ARE YOU?!" hero responds. "I'm super awesome-man! (Relation to Naruto's parents optional) Now why are your villagers attacking this poor boy?"
Step Seven: The Hokage proceeds to break his own law and tells to complete strangers Naruto's life story, much to their outrage.
Step Eight: Token superhero #25 says he's taking the boy away to train him. Sarutobi agrees immediately without argument, but pleads for them to return for the Genins exams. #25 agrees. (The fact that he agreed to bring the kid back to a place that delivered a massive beating to a three year old didn't seem to bother him.)
Step Nine: Naruto wakes up after the ten minute conversation completely healed, energetic, and with enough brain damage to forgive the entire ordeal. (Apparently he's Jesus, filled with infinite forgiveness for the unforgivable)
Step Nine Alt: Naruto wakes up a broken boy who becomes a bitter kitten who can't find it in himself to ever trust people fully again save for a close few, and doesn't try to hold back his contempt for everyone save behind thinly veiled sarcasm/smugness.
Step Ten: They fill Naruto in on the details and he begs to be able to come back to be Hokage, (a three year old can comprehend that... how?) and the duo is off.
Step Eleven: Time skip. Naruto returns, covered in trench coats and pictures of foxes (throwing all stigmas to the wind) and acting like a self-righteous kitten with an attitude.
Step Twelve: Meets Hokage and dishes out all his skills in painful detail (Throwing all ninja sense to the wind). Assigned to go to the academy, which happens to be having its exam that day.
Step Thirteen: Shows off dramatically for the test and remainder of story, pwning everyone but Orochimaru in the Forest of Death.
Step Fourteen: Total bashing of Konoha villagers and/or other characters the author doesn't like (glance towards Sasuke and Sakura) and are flanderized to practically total kitten/uselessness levels.
Step Fifteen: Harem with Naruto! (Includes every female character imaginable *glance towards Sakura* with all the guys staring in envy).
Step Sixteen: Naruto is self-righteous (sometimes not unjustifiably so) and doesn't hesitate to call out others on their kitten, to which they can do nothing but agree (never mind if they have an actually valid excuse for it all...)
