"Sakura! Sasuke!" Natsumi sprinted out of her room, making a beeline towards the nearest person she could discern. Sakura, upon seeing the hurt and confusion etched across Natsumi's face, quickly stepped forward, burying the surprise at her teammate’s disheveled appearance. "Natsumi, what's wrong?", she asked.

Natsumi faltered, the old names woven into her memory refusing to come out. She slowly uncurled her hand, revealing the photo she had hastily grabbed from her apartment – a perfect captured memory of Team 7 with Natsumi instead of Naruto.

Sakura glanced at the photo, then back at Natsumi, her brows furrowed at the confusion. "What about this, Natsumi?"

The words crumbled in her mouth, tasting like ash. She stared at Sakura, as the world shifted yet again and all she could see was this new reality where every memory, every captured moment featured Natsumi and not Naruto. It felt like a layer of her existence had been peeled away, replaced by the shell now called Natsumi.

Over the following days, Natsumi tried to tackle this change, to reclaim her old identity. She ventured to Ichiraku's for her favourite ramen, tried to perform the Rasengan with her right hand like she used to, sparred viciously with Lee, and even challenged Kiba and Akamaru to a race against her and Kurama's form.

Strangely enough, each attempt was met with a fluid ease that was unfamiliar. The ramen tasted like her favourite food, but not like something devoured after an exciting mission. The Rasengan, previously a struggle with modest results, was now effortless and more potent - a mix of her wind nature and Kurama's chakra. Every fight she engaged in was met with a deadly grace and speed that she knew she possessed but the fluidity was too eerie. Her shadow clones were no longer a disorderly bunch but worked in perfect sync with each other.

Natsumi tried to resist this new reality, but the world around her refused to accept her old identity. It was as if the universe itself was pushing back against her futile attempts to reclaim the life she remembered. The attempts to remember her old name resulted in crushing migraines and an overwhelming sense of loss. She couldn't recall the name, let alone say it in her mind or out loud. She was made to be Natsumi, forcibly, painfully, and the brutal reality was that there was no way back - no way to regain her old identity.

Her world, as she knew it, had irrevocably changed. Struggling against the harsh reality, Natsumi stood at the edge, staring into the abyss of her new self, her new life. She belonged here, in this existence, but she remained an outsider. In this polished mirror of parallel existence, Naruto ceased to exist, and all that remained was Natsumi - a reflection, a well designed counterfeit, usurping the life she once knew.

The morning sunlight trickled in through the thin curtains, casting a golden glow on the figure that was Naruto Uzamaki, or at least, that's who she remembered herself to be. She woke up groggily, a thin film of sleep clouding her vision as she moved a hand to skim off the offending occlusion, only to pause. The arm that stretched towards her face was undeniably more slender than what she recalled, and was that a hint of soft curves against the tatami mats? Confusion bubbled within her as she dashed to the polished looking mirror situated on the adjacent wall of her apartment, her eyes widening at the sight. Her once spiky blonde hair was now longer, reaching her shoulders with the same texture of Kushina, Naruto's mother, except it was a sun-kissed blonde instead of fiery red. Her face was softer, and her body... Naruto couldn't help but gasp at the sight of her new physique - her previous flat muscular chest was replaced by well-developed breasts, nestled proudly atop her torso. Her height had shrunk down considerably - she was now more petite. The most startling change, however, lay at the apex of her shapely legs - where once was a customary male organ, now resided a female counterpart. The transformation was complete - the infamous, brash shinobi was now a demure, willowy kunoichi. Naruto tugged at her oversized orange jumpsuit, and found, much to her surprise, that it morphed into a more form-fitting ensemble that accentuated her new body features. She bit her lower lip in disbelief, the name that once laced her tongue for years, now caught in her vocal cords. "Naru-" she began, her voice sounding alien in her ears. "Natsumi." She found she could not utter her old name. Despite her resistance, the old name faded to the new feminine one. The resistant words quickly softened into the lilt of the feminine, turning every "he" into "she" and unimaginable internal transformations leaving her bewildered. The hushed sounds of her own resistant whispers died on her lips as she recited her name to herself, "Natsumi, Na...tsumi." As she said it repeatedly aloud, she felt a pang in her chest. 'That's not my name,' she insisted, but her voice betrayed her, as if bound by an unseen magic, it only gave life to her new identity. Her shadow clones, once rough and mischievous reflected her new form, embodying the grace and allure of femininity as each popped into existence. The flame of attraction inside her, once reserved for women, now turned towards men, leaving her disparities in its wake. Even Kurama, the ferocious nine-tailed fox sealed within her, did not recognize the change. His menacing presence was there, as reliable as ever, yet it felt different, the usual fiery energies now swirling in softer, mellower eddies around her. The chakra cloak, an embodiment of Kurama's power and masculine force, adapted slickly around her new form, catering to every new curve and mould of her physique. Natsumi stared at the pictures around her apartment – in each one, she was female, from cute toddler to impulsive preteen to the young kunoichi who stood looking at them. Her wardrobe had transformed as well, with a variety of kunoichi gear, and casual feminine attire replacing the old baggy jumpsuits. She was indeed a product of a new reality – a reality crafted in the corners of her altered essence. The world still spun on the same axis, yet it felt outlandishly different, as if she'd stepped into a parallel world where Naruto was always Natsumi, the kunoichi, forced to accept and adapt to her new identity.
