History Fanfic / ChuninExamDay

* OhCrap: [[spoiler:The reaction of the entire Kitsune Clan when Sarutobi signs Naruto into Chuunin status, ending the loops. ''This was on one of their "We just don't give a shit" be-as-insane-as-possible loops.''

* BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood, HeelFaceBrainwashing, MoreThanMindControl: Most girls are turned into harem members by being given massages. Classified in-universe as S-rank. They litelary beg to marry him, and mean it. Including previously enemies. Plus Naruto massage+"loved" Tsunade's hemophobia away. Even the ones who weren't converted by massages seem to have suffered this, since Tenten and Temari barely knew Naruto, ten days tops, yet agreed to marry him after the Forest of Death. In the same loop. While he married Hinata too. There's a point where being good at snogging draws the line.

* EvilChancellor: Sarutobi's advisors, the village council, and Danzo are this.

* AuthorAppeal: Not as blatant as PartiallyKissedHero, given that the reasons why the harem loves Naruto are a little more reasonable (Making them dresses, baking them food, giving them awesome massages complete with full spa treatment and music, etc) but still present in the sheer number of women.
** More reasonable? He is litelary brainwashing them with massages, since even women who never met him and are loyal to his enemies beg him to marry them due to the massages and actually mean it, and even before then he gets two girls that never met him until a month before to agree to marry him. Together. Plus one more.

* ButtMonkey: Sasuke, and, to a lesser extent, Kakashi.
** It's understandable, given how Naruto eventually comes to perceive Sasuke from his actions toward him, his attitude, and how easy it is for Sasuke to get what he wants. From a brother figure to a loathesome annoyance. It gets to the point where, because of Naruto's shifted perception of action and consequence because of the loops, he repeatedly uses Sasuke as the butt of pranks, uses his face for getting stuff easily, and later on in the story [[spoiler:Takes his eyes specifically to give to the rest of his harem so they can observe skills, ninjutsu and taijutsu movements and absorb them to take them through the loops. Kakashi too, as Naruto takes his eye specifically for this purpose much earlier in the story]]. Note that all of this is {{Fanon}} and used to make Sasuke [[RonTheDeathEater as unsympathetic as possible]].

* CursedWithAwesome: The loops themselves. Initially, they have some of the same NightmareFuel as in more conventional usages, such as ''Film/GroundhogDay'' itself, with Naruto becoming lonely and borderline psychotic. Later he finds out how to bring friends in on the loops, and starts using the time involved to power up in every possible way, including creating a new kekkai genkai with the Kyuubi's help and starting a clan (based around a [[{{Polyamory}} harem]]) to propagate it.

* RuleOfFunny: The apparent justification for why Naruto can make any female, including several sworn and powerful enemies who one would think would be somewhat hardened against brainwashing/interrogation techniques, defect and completely change loyalty... by giving them a massage. He has been in the loop for some untold number of years, and spent quite some of that time early on using his brute-force usual approach to, well, everything to get really really good at romance, but it's still odd.

** Morality always gets weird in a GroundhogDayLoop; it is arguable the effect of the looping on the actual morality of the act, since, of course, there are no consequences, but more than that, it's entirely possible (in fact, probably inevitable) for the one in the loop to start thinking oddly about morality, because they repeatedly have it pointed out to them that [[FridgeHorror none of their actions can have any lasting consequences]].
*** On the other hand, there's a limited amount of bad behavior an unusual approach to morality can excuse, before you're justifying even [[CompleteMonster complete monsters]].

** Note this results in him [[spoiler: being forced into a purple chicken costume and being dumped outside the testing hall while extremely confused.]]

* TenchiSolution: Type 2 between Naruto and [[spoiler: Hinata, Ino, Temari, Tenten, Hana, Kurenai, Anko, Ayame, Tsunade, Shizune, Kin, Tayuya, Yakumo, Haku]], maybe also [[spoiler:Yugito]] and possibly [[spoiler:Sakura]] in the future.

* AccidentalInnuendo: The end of chapter five has Naruto perform his sexy jutsu and then think about how to make money. [[spoiler: He decides going in dressed as Sasuke is the easier solution.]]

* YouCanNotFightFate: Used as a joke on Neji when [[spoiler:Kitsune Clan changed the first part of the exam and got him thrown out because "it is not his destiny to become chuunin"]]. Also doubles as an example of CrossesTheLineTwice.

* GroundhogDayLoop: The main plot of the story. [[spoiler: Ends when Naruto actually becomes chunin, due to an offhand remark by Tsunade.]]

* RevengeFic: Most especially towards Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi. Some towards the 3rd Hokage as well, and a LOT towards the people of Konoha in general.

Synopsis: Naruto dies during the the sand/sound invasion. He wakes up in bed, only to discover that he has gone back in time to the start of the chunin exams. he soon figures out he's stuck in a groundhog day loop, and begins to apply this fact to [[PeggySue make himself smarter]] and improve his chakra control, among other things...

* GroundhogDayLoop: The main plot of the story. [[spoiler: Ends when Naruto actually becomes chunin, due to an offhand remark by Tsunade. He isn't aware of this yet, as the fic currently ends right after this happens.]]

'''Please add tropes to this page, it needs them.'''

Well, the short version would be to say its [[{{PartiallyKissedHero}} PKH]] for {{Naruto}}, and to a large extent this is true, but it ''does'' have its own original plot points, so we'll point them out here.
