When Naruto gets his first C-rank mission, he is excited to finally go on a real mission. He has no idea his life was to unravel before him as he is forced to see underneath the underneath if he wants his team to survive and the bitterness that will come from total alienation from all he knew that slowly overtakes him as he repeats loop after loop. He struggles to overcome the challenges before him as he finds the tools given to him wholly inadequate and is forced to innovate, adapt, and use all his cunning if he wants to make it out the other side of these looping events intact.
