Azami gave the Heat Haze the order to bring in everyone who died at August 15. The time loop happens inside of the heat haze and ends when Hibiya gains his snake as surrogate life, while Hiyori is left behind. Each death inside of the heat haze is not an actual death. Konoha was inside with them because he was sucked into the Heat Haze along with Hiyori and Hibiya (and Shintaro in the anime, but it's uncertain if he was with them in the other media), since he was at the same location when they (almost) died in a traffic accident.
