The first chip in her resolution began subtly but drastic nonetheless. As Natsumi acclimatized to her new identity, her aspiration, her dream of becoming Hokage, started to waver. The once fierce flame that had propelled Naruto to achieve this prestigious position now waned visibly in Natsumi's heart. Where once her mind had been filled with strategic plans, crave for power and responsibility, now the notion of leading the entire village seemed overwhelming and intimidating to her.
"Why should I seek a position of such great responsibility?" she asked herself as she lay awake in bed at night, "A Jonin's life seems much more manageable, certainly enjoyable". She grimaced, horrified at her own train of thought, yet unable to steer it back. It felt as though a silent puppeteer had a hold over her desires, twisting them into something unrecognizable.
Her fervor to fight back ignited when she found herself training less intensively, honing domestic skills, smiling submissively rather than exhibiting her bold grins. The adoration she once had for the Hokage's towering monument, symbolizing power and prestige, was now replaced with indifference, at the best of times.
Her dreams altered as did her reflection. The image of Hokage no longer held her in it; instead, she saw herself as a Jonin, serving the village dutifully, contentedly. There was a sense of acceptance, a mirage of peace, and yet her heart ached, rebelling against this imposed tranquility.
Natsumi's attempts to fight back took its toll on her. The mental strain barred her sleep, dark rings formed under her azure eyes, and her appetite dwindled. Pushing herself physically to remind her soul of the Naruto she once was, she found herself panting in exhaustion, barely managing a few sets of Taijutsu.
A part of her had started to give in; the idea of being Hokage was instilling dread in her while the thought of serving as a Jonin was becoming increasingly appealing. Caught in the struggle of what she wanted to be against what she was expected to be, Natsumi came to an acute realization.
Her will was being twisted, but there was a paradox. With every struggle, with every instance of resistance, she was submitting more and more to the puppeteer. She was breaking, and she knew it. Stripped of the fiery ambition to lead, the love for her village remained, now channeled into the role of a protective Jonin.
She hated her newfound contentment, she despised her altered state of mind. But she also knew that she was losing the battle against how her new reality perceived her, against the silent puppeteer controlling her desires, and indeed soon, against herself.

When Naruto woke up one morning, she discovered an unprecedented transformation that had taken place overnight. Her usual short, spiky hair had lengthened into a cascade of long, blonde waves, possessing the same texture and straightness that her mother's hair once had. But in a drastic change, her bold, sharp facial features had softened into delicate femininity, and her usual muscular build was replaced by a petite, curvaceous form that clearly signified she was a woman now. She found it difficult to believe herself. Where once there was a flat chest, now breasts filled her shirt. And even more unsettling was the fact that her genitals had entirely changed. Rather than the familiar male anatomy she was used to, she now possessed a woman's vagina. Even though she looked into the mirror again and again, her friends and fellows in the village of Konoha didnāt bat an eye as if she had always been a girl. Confusion etched into her brows and she tried to explain, but it seemed as if something was restraining her speech. She attempted to voice out her birth name, Naruto, but even on the tip of her tongue, the name was replaced with "Natsumi." Gradually, as she pronounced her old name aloud, she heard it morph into the new one, sliding from Naruto, to Narum, and finally, Natsumi. And though she did not wish for it, she found herself adorning a traditionally feminine mannerism, her gait as graceful and swift as a kunoichi, not a burly ninja. The tried and tested Jutsu of shadow cloning was rendered futile as the clones that appeared were all female too, only serving to remind her of the stark transformation. To a greater shock, even the nine-tailed fox, Kurama, seemed to accept the change in a stride, not questioning her femininity as if it had always been the case. Natsumi even found herself attracted to the men around her, something entirely novel and disturbing to her former personality. She cocooned herself in the familiar red Kurama chakra cloak, but the cloak itself seemed to mould around her new, feminine form, flattering her slender waist and accentuating her curves. Stubborn as ever, Natsumi tried to resist the evolving reality. Yet, all efforts were futile. Even her apartment was different, enveloped in softer hues, and her photographs depicted her as a girl all along. Her clothes morphed into feminine attire, replacing the orange tracksuits with pastel kimonos and skirts. She tried to discuss the matter with Kurama, but her words seemed to lose their meaning mid-sentence. The transformation was far from merely physical: her entire reality seemed to shift, portraying her as Natsumi, not Naruto. But deep inside her, she clung to the fact that she remembered, she remembered being a man, and with this knowledge, she vowed to find a way to comprehend this sudden shift in her existence.
