1A ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'' fanfiction written by Majin Hentai X. Takes the concept of a PeggySue and adds an interesting twist: what if the character sent back (in this case, Naruto) suddenly finds themselves at a "Game Over" screen, and soon realizes their entire life [[SuddenGameInterface has become a video game]]?
2
3...Well, in Naruto's case, an opportunity to do things over again through leveling up, defeating "boss characters", and collecting secret inventory items.
4
5...And dying. [[TheManyDeathsOfYou Lots and LOTS of dying.]] [[DeathIsCheap Thank the Game Makers for Save Points.]]

10!!''New Tropes//>>Load Tropes<<//Extras//Options//Help'':
11
12* AmbiguousGender[=/=]DudeLooksLikeALady: On some servers, Haku.
13* AnchoredShip: Naruto decides, after a talk with Iruka, not to pursue either Sakura or Hinata romantically, considering all the ill-will towards him and the many way's he's been brutally killed, until he's strong enough to deal with the situations that he runs into on a regular basis. [[spoiler:[[{{Subverted}} It doesn't stick, though, after Hinata kisses him in a post-sleep delirium. Now the two seem to be going fairly steady]].]]
14* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Of all the end-of-game penalties to Naruto's score (i.e. breaking his nindo, losing a precious person, etc.), one penalty is "Ignored Hinata". Naruto being Naruto, [[ObliviousToLove he STILL doesn't get it]]
15** Also [[MustNotDieAVirgin "Died a virgin: -1000 points"]]. That's biggest penalty he gets for ''any'' single infraction!
16*** [[spoiler:Of course considering that Susano is the main programmer it makes a lot of sense.]]
17* AttackItsWeakPoint: Plant!Zabuza’s protruding plant parts.
18* BadFuture: When Naruto summons a female older version of himself, she tells that her world has almost reached its approaching bad end. It doesn’t help that Naruto’s interference causes fatal injuries to her already weakened body.
19* BrainBleach: Naruto attempts to do this via HeadBanger. He fails.
20* CannibalismSuperpower: Bij&#363; can apparently devour chakras of demons or other bij&#363;.
21* ClusterFBomb: ...Hoo, boy. Naruto's reaction when he hits the Game Over screen the first time is not to be printed on a family-friendly wiki.
22** Or when he actually finds out Hinata likes him....
23* CompellingVoice: One of the sound village ninjas uses this on Naruto.
24* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Naruto, as in canon. However, he slowly starts to shift away from "moron" and towards "badass" due to collecting several Intelligence stat powerups.
25* DeusExMachina: Since Naruto’s inside a game, the author feels free to hand-wave some plot advancements onward through convenient glitches that power-up the needed [=NPCs=].
26* DramaPreservingHandicap: Naruto acquires an [=OPed=] demonic sword, but it gets [[PutOnABus stored away in a bus luggage compartment]] shortly after.
27* EvilWeapon: The Cursed Katana is very much this. Powered by Kyuubi's malicious chakra? Check. [[LoyalPhlebotinum Hostile towards anyone else that tries to touch it?]] Check. Lights anything non-Naruto it touches ''[[IncendiaryExponent on fire?]]'' Ohoho, '''check'''.
28* GameBreakingBug: Of all things, ''[[spoiler: Haku's gender]]''.
29* GenderFlip: Haku’s gender first gets changed from an [[AmbiguousGender ambiguous male]] into a Schrodinger’s gender (he keeps switching between male and femlae with each reset of the universe), then gets locked in the female mode.
30* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Zabuza.
31* {{Hermaphrodite}}: Naruto seems to have troubles even ''reading'' about one’s existence, which seems at least strange, given some of the techniques he’s fond of using.
32* HitYouSoHardYourXWillFeelIt: A subtle example of this happens during the Chuunin Exams. [[spoiler:Sasuke, high off his rocks on morphine, is kicked in the balls by Tenten in retaliation for uncharacteristic perviness. He doesn't react one iota, but Uchiha Madara, patriarch of the Uchiha clan, falls to the ground writhing in pain half a world away.]]
33* ICantHearYou: Naruto after the Kyubbi mentions it might be masturbating.
34-->""NOPE! NOPENOPENOPENOPENOPE!" Naruto lung himself into the air. "I CANNOT NOPE HARD ENOUGH! NOPENOPENOPE!" he ran in circles in the kitchen, flailing wildly. "ALL ABOARD THE NOPE TRAIN TO FUCKTHAT VILLE!""
35* JerkassGods: The Game Makers however, they show a tiny bit of kindness; when [[spoiler:Hinata's YamatoNadeshiko subroutine]] is accidentally activated, they leave it on in order to give her a better chance of surviving [[spoiler:the Invasion of Konoha]].
36** Chapter 20 shows just how jerkass-ish these gods can be. After Jiraiya loses his temper at two of them [[spoiler:they sabotage what they themselves are working towards by cutting him off from all outside help, other Sysadmins' help included, purely out of spite.]] They didn't make things impossible, just '''so''' much harder. To the point where one of the other gods actually [[spoiler:apologizes]] to him.
37*** To make things worse. The god that [[spoiler:apologizes? Susano. Yes that Susano. When you are so much of a Jerkass that Susano apologizes you know this trope is in effect.]]
38* IdiotBall: Naruto has some, occasionally, when the author isn’t sure how to push the plot in the needed direction (e.g not remembering many important details from his first life; letting Zabusa’s body be taken away; dying from slipping a foot, falling into river and ''drowning'', etc);
39* IKnowYourTrueName: The Fourth Hokage is said to have known the name of lightning, which implies that natural phenomena have true names in this world.
40* KarmaMeter: One is in place, and as of yet, Naruto is on the Good side. There seem to be no extra powers for being of a particular karma as of yet, but there are certain jutsu and weapons that he must have certain karma to use (the only one seen so far is [[spoiler:Zabuza's sword]]).
41* MadeOfPlasticine: On different occasioncs, Naruto manages to both render himself unconscious and get himself killed merely by slipping a foot.
42* MarionetteMaster: Naruto even gets a long-term quest to find who this person is.
43* MindControlMusic: Haku has such a technique.
44* MonsterArena: The Hellspawn Pit, fashioned in a similar matter to the Bloody Palace from the ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' games; a bonus area that Naruto finds in the Forest of Death filled with one hundred floors, with a BossBattle [[OhCrap against a tailed beast every ten floors.]] Of course, Naruto is a bit confused when he looks around and only counts nine doors...[[spoiler:then Kyuubi tells him to look down...]] The place is so terrifying that '''Kyuubi himself''' ''begs'' Naruto never to go back to it.
45* MyGreatestFailure: Naruto has several of these, most recently [[spoiler:failing to get Kin to talk willingly, which leads to Ibiki implementing his own methods.....]]
46* {{Nerf}}: Naruto, during training for the Chunin Exams, stumbles on a brilliant idea: [[GameBreaker why not send a crowd of Shadow Clones in all directions to find the stat powerups?]] Unfortunately, after using this a couple times, he is kindly informed by an ANBU operative that using that technique [[NotWhatItLooksLike could be interpreted as being used to spy on other candidates]], and if he uses it again in that fashion, he'll be disqualified. Fortunately for Naruto, this seems to be an issue only during the Chunin Exams.
47* OutOfCharacter: In-Universe. [[spoiler:The glitches sometimes makes people act very strange and completely out of character.]]
48** For some example: Kakashi tortures Sasuke, Sasuke dresses up in a [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf tiger stripe shirt and attacks Naruto with an umbrella]], Sakura tries to kill Hinata and Anko and Guy have sex.
49* PeoplePuppets: Ingrown tentacles variety.
50* PoorCommunicationKills: Zabuza’s last words of warning are frustratingly vague.
51* PowerPerversionPotential: The Hyuga's perversion tic is commented on by the Kyuubi in an argument with Naruto, pointing out that not only does Neji activate it randomly around Tenten, but that the girl with X-ray vision is the only girl not fangirling after Sasuke, but him. Naruto is oddly happy at that statement.
52* RPGMechanicsVerse: Skill points, skill checks, perk unlocks, achievements, etc.
53* ScreamsLikeAGirl: Jiraiya lets out one after Tsunade (actually Naruto using a Henge jutsu) catches him peeping on Hinata in the hot springs.
54* StatusQuoIsGod: As it often happens in PeggySue rewrites, the main plotline advances almost the same way as in canon, with Naruto’s actions seemingly having no real long-lasting effects at all, except passing through the plot arcs with a better style and saving more people on the way (e.g. Gaara and his siblings still run away during the Ch&#363;nin exam finals, even though Gaara wasn’t seriously injured this time around).
55* SuddenGameInterface: The option to PeggySue only appears after his first death, in the form of floating text boxes.
56* SweatDrop: The author is apparently unaware that they’re writing a story and not a script for an anime adaptation.
57* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Naruto manages to “covertly” deliver a whole paragraph of text of warning to a character without anyone thinking their unnatural interaction strange.
