Line #13 Fanfic/ChuninExamDay


1	Describe ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3929411/1/Chunin_Exam_Day Chunin Exam Day]]'' here.
2
3	Well, the short version would be to say it's ''[[FanFic/PartiallyKissedHero PKH]]'' for ''Manga/{{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.
4
5	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...

7	WARNING: This fic, like ''[=PKH=]'', has a '''sizable''' polarizing reputation, with a large Fandom and Hatedom. Please keep discussion to discussion page. Please keep YMMV to its page.
8	----
9	!! List of tropes appearing in Chunin Exam Day
10
11	* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Apparently the Sharingan can hijack the entirety of its user's brain to comprehend particularly complicated seals. Not to mention that somehow devoting the entirety of your brain to something (including the brain stem) merely leaves you catatonic instead of killing you.
12	* AuthorAppeal: As with ''Partially Kissed Hero'', but instead of shiny things and eternal beauty (at first), making them dresses, baking them food, giving them awesome (classified as S-rank in the fic itself) massages complete with full spa treatment and music, etc, plus the sheer number of women.
13	* AuthorTract: The whole fic is underpinned by a rage-driven assassination of Kishimoto's plot, characters the author didn't like, Kishimoto's reasoning, et cetera, et cetera.
14	* BlessedWithSuck: After an episode with the Kyuubi, Naruto gets an order-of-magnitude increase in chakra capacity, grows several inches, and becomes much stronger and faster. The downside? It shoots his chakra ''control'' to Hell, severely messes up his non-reflexive martial arts, and gives him ears and a tail that he has to constantly hide with a jutsu that just became severely difficult for him lest the townsfolk become afraid and kill him.
15	** It then becomes quite good after [[spoiler:Naruto learns more about chakra control, making him just as efficient with its usage while increasing his reserves massively, and it becomes a bloodline that enables his wives to keep their memories of these loops]].
16	* BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood, HeelFaceBrainwashing, MoreThanMindControl: Most girls are turned into harem members by being given massages, classified in-universe as "S-rank massages". They literally beg to marry him, and mean it. This includes prior enemies. Plus, Naruto massages and "loves" Tsunade's hemophobia away. Even the ones who aren't converted by massages seem to suffer this, since Tenten and Temari have barely known Naruto for ten days tops yet agree to marry him after the Forest of Death. In the same loop. While he marries Hinata, too. There's a point where being good at snogging draws the line.
17	%%* ButtMonkey: Sasuke, unabashedly, and, to a lesser extent, Kakashi.
18	%%* CharacterExaggeration: The entire cast, to various extents.
19	* CursedWithAwesome: The loops, themselves. Initially, they have some of the same terror as in more conventional usages, 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 kekkei genkai with the Kyuubi's help and starting a clan (based around a [[{{Polyamory}} harem]]) to propagate it.
20	* DeathIsCheap: Naruto eventually develops this viewpoint, mainly because of the loop.
21	** After the loop is complete we get to see how cheap it has become. Haku has just done an extremely risky summoning contract creation when she is told that the loops are over. She nearly passes out at the fact that she could have permanently died.
22	* DragonWithAnAgenda: The Uchiha clan turns out to have been this to the rest of the village, having been slowly sabotaging other bloodline clans and rewriting Konoha's laws for an eventual takeover.
23	* EvilChancellor: Sarutobi's advisers, the village council, and Danzo are this.
24	* GroundhogDayLoop: The main plot of the story. [[spoiler: Ends when Naruto actually becomes chuunin, due to an offhand remark by Tsunade.]]
25	%%* GroundhogPeggySue: What Naruto turns into.
26	%%* HaremNanny: [[spoiler:Kurenai, and later Yugao]]. Both of them lose the job after joining the harem.
27	* JackOfAllTrades: PlayedWith, given that he has infinite time in which to hone them, but Naruto learns quite a few skills, including: Tailoring, Cooking, Leatherworking, Metallurgy, and various sundry others.
28	* LittleBitBeastly: Naruto gets foxy appendages, thanks to his prisoner. He later upgrades his harem with them.
29	* OhCrap: The reaction of the entire Kitsune Clan when [[spoiler: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.'']]
30	* {{Polyamory}}: 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.
31	* Really700YearsOld: Naruto, who by the end has experienced centuries' worth of resets. The rest of the Kitsune clan as well.
32	* RevengeFic: Most especially towards Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi. Some towards the third Hokage as well, and a LOT towards the people of Konoha in general.
33	* RuleOfFunny: The apparent justification for why Naruto can make any female character, including several sworn and powerful enemies whom 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 really ridiculous.
34	%%* RunningGag: Many and numerous.
35	%%* SamusIsAGirl: Kyuubi.
36	%%* SealedEvilInATeddyBear: "[[{{Catgirl}} Vicky]]", a.k.a. "[[FluffyTheTerrible Fluffy]]", a.k.a. ''[[SealedEvilInACan Kyuubi]]''.
37	* TakeThat:
38	** One to Creator/JKRowling with the description of the Rowling bloodline power, reflecting Lionheart's [[FanFic/PartiallyKissedHero well-known view]] of the moral implications of the later ''Harry Potter'' books. [[spoiler:Specifically, the Rowling kekkai genkai is that anyone within audio range of the Rowling becomes confused, friend becoming foe and vice versa. [[BlessedWithSuck Including the Rowling]] [[GenderRestrictedAbility herself]].]]
39	** There's also the Kishimoto clan, who destroy anything they touch.
40	%%* VillainProtagonist: YMMV, given that none of his victims remember anything (though that may make it even worse), but Naruto and his girls, among other unmentioned acts, steal both Sasuke and Kakashi's sharingan eyes and spread a rumor that the Uchiha clan were a bunch of coprophiles.
41	%%** Morality always gets weird in a GroundhogDayLoop; it is arguable the effect of the looping on the actual morality of the act, since 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.
42	* WeakButSkilled: Ebisu is famous for being the only ninja ever to complete an A-rank mission using only the Leaf Ninja Academy's basic three ninjutsu. Unfortunately, the only time he's in a fight he's ambushed by [[BigBad Orochimaru]], making this an InformedAttribute.
43	* YouCannotFightFate: Used as a joke on Neji when [[spoiler:the Kitsune clan change the first part of the exam and get him thrown out because "it is not his destiny to become chuunin"]]. Also doubles as an example of CrossesTheLineTwice.
44	** This results in him [[spoiler: being forced into a purple chicken costume and being dumped outside the testing hall while extremely confused.]]
