  Summary

  In the heart of the Chunin Exams, Naruto becomes ensnared in a mysterious time loop, reliving the events repeatedly. Each of those loops gives him another chance to find his way out, but with every failure, the people around him become less familiar, and the voice inside him becomes harder to ignore. How many loops can he survive before there's too little of him left to escape? UPDATED EVERY FORTNIGHT!
