I think 'breaking the habit' in a Naruto fanfic could refer to a character breaking a bad habit. Maybe it's Naruto himself trying to break his impulsive habit. It could add depth to his character development as he overcomes this trait in the fan - created story.
One thing that makes it interesting is the chance to see familiar characters in a new light. If Naruto is breaking a habit, we get to see his struggle and growth, which is always engaging.
One great 'naruto breaking the habit fanfic' is 'Naruto's New Path' which shows Naruto breaking his old impulsive habits in a really interesting way. It has some great character development.
Li Chengqian indeed had a penchant for breaking his sleeves. When Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty heard that Prince Li Chengqian and Chenxin were homosexual, he was furious and executed Chenxin and others.

Thus, it could be confirmed that Li Chengqian had a penchant for breaking his sleeves.

Well, 'creature of habit fanfic' could simply be a fan - created story about a being (it could be a human, an alien, or any fictional creature) who has very set ways of doing things. It could be about their struggle when they are forced to break out of their habitual behavior. Maybe in a fantasy setting, a wizard who always casts spells in a certain way and then has to adapt to a new situation where that way doesn't work.
Well, if Naruto smoked, it might slow him down. Smoking is bad for the lungs and he needs good lungs for all that running and fighting in his ninja life. He might not be able to perform jutsus as well or keep up with his friends during missions.

In fanfic, Naruto's mask breaking and crying could be a turning point in the story. Maybe it's a sign that he's finally letting go of his past traumas. For example, if he's been haunted by the memories of his lonely childhood, this could be the moment where he confronts those emotions head - on. It also makes him more relatable to the readers as it shows his human side.
