Ayanokouji's Pov:-

The end credits of the final episode of "Naruto" rolled down the screen, marking the end of an expansive journey through the ninja world that Kei had introduced me to. It was an odd feeling, sitting there in the dim light of my room, reflecting on the whole experience.

My mind was a mix of admiration for the complexity of the storylines and a slight critique of the characters' decisions, especially the protagonist's, Naruto Uzumaki. His unwavering optimism and straightforwardness were both his strength and his weakness, a concept that fascinated yet bewildered me.

Despite my critical view of his naivety, I couldn't deny the entertainment value the series offered. It had its hooks in me, and I found myself empathizing with characters, celebrating their victories, and mourning their losses. It was a well-crafted world, one I was somewhat sad to leave behind.

As the clock ticked past midnight, signaling the need for sleep, I realized it was time to move on from the world of shinobi and kunai. Stretching out on my bed, I couldn't help but muse over the adventures I'd just witnessed. They were fantastical, yet they carried a certain weight, a message about perseverance, friendship, and the complexities of human nature.

The profoundness of it all lingered in my thoughts as I drifted into sleep, the characters and their stories weaving through my dreams. Little did I know, the line between my reality and the world of Naruto was about to blur in ways I could never have imagined.

Third Person Pov:-

As the first rays of morning light crept through the curtains, the world Ayanokouji Kiyotaka knew had shifted radically. He no longer lay in the comfort of his bed but found himself in the body of an infant, the sights and sounds of a world vastly different from his own filling his senses. It took him moments to realize he was staring directly at a pair of massive red claws, poised perilously close to piercing him.

The air was heavy with tension, a palpable sense of danger enveloping him. In those brief seconds, time seemed to slow, giving him a clear view of the formidable creature before him - Kurama, the Nine-Tails fox, its eyes blazing with a ferocity that could burn through the bravest of souls.

Yet, before fear could completely take hold, two figures appeared in a blur of motion, intercepting the deadly claws with their bodies. Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, and Kushina Uzumaki, stood as unwavering shields between the infant and imminent death. Their presence alone seemed to fill the room with a warmth that contrasted the chill of dread that had briefly taken hold.

Kushina’s voice, tinged with a maternal warmth yet weighed down by a somber inevitability, filled the room. Her words, imbued with emotions and hopes, were directed at the infant, who was none other than Ayanokouji, now in the body of Naruto Uzumaki. “Naruto, from now on, you are going to face lots of pain and hardships. Be true to yourself. Have a dream and have the confidence to make those dreams come true. Oh, Naruto, there's so much... oh, so much more...! There are so many things I wish I had time to pass onto you... so much more I wanna tell you! I wish I could stay with you longer! I love you!”

Her voice cracked, laden with unshed tears and regret, “Minato, I'm sorry. I used up your time.”

Hearing Kushina's words, Ayanokouji thought, 'I see. I am Uzumaki Naruto as of now, it seems. Also, it's unfortunate that my parents had to die. After all, unlike that man, they would be someone I would prefer more.' He couldn't help but feel a strange mixture of loss and determination stirring within him.

The fleeting moment of emotional turmoil didn't last long, however, for he soon felt an overwhelming exhaustion overtake him. His tiny body, not yet used to the rigors of this new world, demanded rest. 'So this is how it starts, huh?' He mused to himself, a resolve forming deep within. 'I guess it's time for a nap now. When I awake, I will continue this journey as Uzumaki Naruto with all the strength I can muster.'
