Naruto: The Time Looper

Darkness took over Kazuos sight as he felt an unbearable pain hit him for a split second as the sword severed his head.

And Then it was all gone and he found himself in a completely different location.

Looking around, Kazuo found that he was on a small wooden boat floating in a dark sea, it wasn't just the sea in fact, it was everything around him.

It looked like he was floating in the middle of the sea inside some kind of abyss.

It was at this moment that Kazuo saw something.

Behind him, there was someone who was rowing the boat.

It was a large creature, more than three meters tall with a black robe covering his entire body and face.

At that moment as Kazuo was looking at the creature, it spoke to him.

"Why do you resent death so much, in here you shall forever be calm and sleep peacefully for all of eternity." The thing spoke with a gravelly deep voice.

Kazuo looked at the creature for a moment before he furrowed his brows, anger overtaking his expression.

"Fuck that" 

The creature seemed taken aback for a moment before it released a long-winded laugh, it was so eerie that it sent shivers down Kazuo's spine.

"You shall come back again, for it is your destiny." The thing spoke before Kazuo saw himself disappearing, his body turning into specs of light.

Merely a few moments later, Kazuo disappeared completely.

*Huff* *Huff*

Inside a tent in the hidden leaf frontline camp, a young ninja was huffing as if he had just awoken from a terrible nightmare.

It was Kazuo.

'What the fuck' Kazuo thought as he looked around him.

'This is my tent at the camp? Wasn't I just dead?' Kazuo thought before something interrupted any further thoughts he might have had.

[ Ding ]

[ User has unlocked the Time Loop System ]

'Time Loop system? Is this my cheat?' Kazuo thought quickly as he read the text that had appeared in front of him on a holographic blue screen.

A moment later, a new holographic panel appeared before Kazuo.

[ Menu ]

[ Stats ]

[ Quests ]

There were only two options in this menu screen, the Stats tab and the Quests tab.

'Is this just a weakened version of the gamer?' Kazuo thought before opening his status tab.

[ Stats ]

[ Clone Jutsu ] [ Level 5/10 ]

[ Substitution Jutsu ] [ Level 5/10 ]

[ Transformation Jutsu ] [ Level 5/10 ]

Looking over the information on his status screen, Kazuo was disappointed, to say the least.

'What the fuck are these shitty ass stats, did this guy just sleep the entire time in the academy?' Kazuo thought.

*Sigh*

Releasing a long sigh, Kazuo quickly calmed his emotions down.

'So I have a time loop system which means that every time I die, I return to the start of that day. In less than an hour, I'll be dead, having died at the hands of a wimpy bitch' Kazuo thought as he remembered the young kid who had killed him whilst his hands shook.

'Fuck' Kazuo thought as anger surged into his head every time he thought of the event.

At this moment as Kazuo sat on his bed, he saw Kenji walk into the tent and inform him of the upcoming patrol mission.

'First let's test out what will happen if I'm late to the mission, maybe that way I'll be able to escape the encounter with the cloud ninjas, from what I saw that guy who severed my head is most likely a Jonin sensei, right now I have no way of actually killing him' Kazuo thought as he stood up from his bed and started getting his combat outfit back on.

Opening the next tab of the system whilst he did so.

[ Quests ]

[ Survive the first day ]

[ Reward: C rank Elemenal Jutsu ]

That was the only thing on the tab, reading over the quest Kazuo furrowed his brows.

'I gain a C rank jutsu if I complete it but if I don't then I just die?' Kazuo thought in frustration.

There was no penalty shown on the quest but just by reading the name of the quest, you would know how the only way to fail this quest was.

Dying. Dying in a ditch in the middle of some backwater country.

Kazuo took his time as he got dressed up in his combat clothes instead of rushing like he had the previous turn.

By the time he was done, ten minutes had already passed.

Turning around, Kazuo started walking to the entrance of the camp at an extremely slow pace, as if he were a civilian with no chakra taking a stroll around the local park.

*Sigh*

Releasing a sigh as he walked Kazuo thought back to the last two hours.

He had woken up in a world that he thought was only fiction and he had already died a gruesome death once.

However Kazuo didn't have time to contemplate or whine about his circumstances, he had no time to cry about what he had been thrust into.

He either had to adapt and advance forward or lose his mind as he died over and over and the same day repeated itself.

Death had already told him that it was his destiny however Kazuo had never believed that shit.

'My destiny? You know that sounds a lot like something Neji would say.' Kazuo thought as a grin appeared on his face.

Only to disappear a moment later as Kazuo got serious once more.

'I'll survive, no matter what.'
