Impact on Citizenship eligibility due to duration of stay with Green Card

What happens if I am out of country for 5 months. I then return to the states and leave again within a week for another 2-3 more months? - What will happen to the time frame of my citizenship eligibility? Will it be extended by 3 months or will the entire year will be counted against me?
