Naruto : All Genders are reversed except for me

In the original work, the combination of Sasuke and Sakura was already full of flaws.

After the battle at the Valley of the End, given Sasuke's emotional state at the time, he should have become a lonely wanderer.

From the first episode of Naruto until the end, the audience never saw Sasuke express even a moment of liking for Sakura.

He didn't believe that the proud "Er Zhuzi" [a nickname for Sasuke] would force himself to be with someone he didn't like.

Sasoi and Ino's pairing made him spit blood.

Was it really because Boruto's new generation needed such a forced pairing? In the original work, with Ino's high emotional intelligence and IQ, would she choose a dull Sasoi?

It's ridiculous—utterly ridiculous.

Upon further reflection, the forced coupling is confirmed. Boruto and Ino's ages are the same, which means what?

It means that Ino and Sasoi practically married in the same year as Naruto and Hinata, yet what connection or emotional development did these two have in the original Naruto?

How did they end up married in the same year as Naruto and Hinata, surpassing them in their relationship?

Various attempts to cater to nostalgia, and characters resurrected through Edo Tensei, weren't so bad.

But the art style? One would think Jiraiya was resurrected after decades in the underworld. What was that thing they were drawing?

If that's the case, why hasn't Hashirama or Tobirama, resurrected through Edo Tensei, aged?

On the other hand, in order to introduce new characters, they directly wrote Inuzuka Kiba and the Leaf Village weapon supplier Tenten as empty-nesters—no marriage, no children.

Here's a joke: even the straight-laced Lee is married and has kids, yet Kiba and Tenten remain empty-nesters...

And all of this happened because of one person.

That's right. It's Uzumaki Boruto.

Without Boruto, Neji wouldn't have been written off, dying for the sake of Hinata and Naruto's love.

Yes, after Naruto ended, when the media interviewed Kishimoto (the author of Naruto), he himself said that Neji's death was to pave the way for Naruto and Hinata's wedding.

Now, in this world where everyone the protagonist is familiar with has their gender swapped, Hinata becomes a brother, and Boruto is gone. This is something Naruto never expected.

"Ha ha ha... This world is too crazy!!"

At this moment, Naruto was walking with Sasuke toward the training ground. He suddenly burst into a fit of laughter, and Sasuke, who was walking beside him, sighed with a black line on his forehead and turned to say, "You're as annoying as they are."

Hearing this, Naruto was taken aback and asked, "I didn't send you a love letter or something, did I? That can't be…"

Sasuke ignored him with a snort, turning and continuing to walk.

Seeing this, Naruto breathed a huge sigh of relief. It seemed it wasn't what he had imagined.

In this life, Naruto was one of the few boys who never pursued Sasuke.

About ten minutes later.

The two passed by the main gate of the Uchiha clan's residence again, and the carts and ninjas from the Root had disappeared.

Sasuke looked at the empty Uchiha family home, and the coldness in his eyes was beyond words. Compared to the first time when he had lost control, he now understood how to suppress his emotions.

After that, he quickly dragged Naruto past the main gate of the Uchiha clan, as if not wanting Naruto to see such a ruined family.

Naruto glanced at the surroundings, and upon seeing the Uchiha clan's compound in shambles, it felt as if it had been robbed. He sneered inwardly. "Is this the dark side of Konoha?"

As they passed through the Uchiha clan's grounds, the two entered a forest.

About ten minutes later.

Naruto saw an open area in the forest with all sorts of human-shaped targets and circular targets, surrounded by trees marked with the traces of various sharp weapons.

"This is where you and your sister practiced throwing?" Naruto asked Sasuke.

The sight of these objects brought back memories for Sasuke, and he couldn't help but recall his sister teaching him how to throw shuriken when they were young.

"Humph."

Sasuke snorted coldly and then walked behind a large rock. He pulled out a canvas bag.

Clang, clang, clang...

The sound of metal clashing echoed through the air.

"All of them are here."

Naruto opened the canvas bag, and his eyes were immediately met with numerous shuriken and kunai that didn't reflect the moonlight, their craftsmanship exquisite.

Seeing Naruto's delighted expression, Sasuke's heart felt as if it were being torn apart.

The clan's items had been emptied, and these shuriken and kunai were likely the last remaining legacy.

These weapons carried nearly all of his memories with his sister.

But he bore the honor of the Uchiha clan. Losing was losing, and despite the deep reluctance, he wouldn't speak of it.

Naruto raised his head and noticed Sasuke's tense expression, as he appeared unwilling to part with them. He then smiled, reaching into the canvas bag three times.

On the third attempt, he pulled out 11 kunai and 20 shuriken.

These tools only made up a little more than half of the bag's contents.

There was still quite a lot left—enough for Sasuke's daily training.

Having obtained what he wanted, Naruto poured the rest of the tools onto the ground, picked out the ones he needed, placed them back into the bag, and slung it over his shoulder.

"Why are you leaving these behind?"

Seeing that Naruto had only taken half, Sasuke asked.

"These are worth at least 20,000 ryo. The rest is for you to use in your training," Naruto said with a bright smile. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, blue, intricate card.

Naruto had thoroughly examined this card when he obtained it—it could only be used once for chakra expansion at the same level, and multiple uses would have no effect.

Today, he was finally able to get shuriken and kunai that could be exchanged for silver notes from Sasuke. He was in a good mood and, since Sasuke had provided him with quite a bit of shock value today, why not give her a gift? Anyone familiar with Sasuke would know that she was prideful, and unless she wanted to, no one could force her to reveal certain things.

"As a token of appreciation, here, take this. Find a quiet place when you get home, and let your chakra flow into it. Then you'll understand its function."

Sasuke wasn't particularly interested in the card but accepted it without refusal, placing it in her pocket. At least Naruto left her some ninja tools, which made her feel somewhat positive about him.

"This is the first time I've accepted a gift from a boy."

Naruto laughed and said, "This isn't a gift. It's what you deserve. Let's go back together."

Sasuke glanced at her family, which now felt like a desolate tomb, and shook her head. "No. I'm starting my training now."

"Alright, I'll head back first. See you at school tomorrow."

With that, Naruto turned and walked away, waving his hand.

As soon as Naruto left, the deep darkness surrounding the area rushed toward Sasuke, intensifying her feeling of loneliness. For a moment, she even thought about inviting Naruto to stay and train with her. But the proud Uchiha would never speak first. She could only watch his figure grow smaller until it disappeared from view.

Once Naruto was gone, Sasuke crouched down and started organizing the shuriken and kunai.

"Am I still too weak? She said the reason she didn't kill me was because I was too weak. If I can't even endure loneliness, how can I surpass her and kill her?"

Her eyes were filled with hatred, and her voice was cold, making the temperature around her drop instantly. Sasuke leapt into the air and, with crossed arms, flicked her hands.

Immediately, ten shuriken turned into ten black shadows in the air, whistling as they struck trees and human-shaped targets, making a "clang clang" sound.

With a graceful landing, Sasuke's eyes were full of resolve. She quickly formed hand seals, and chakra began to accumulate in her mouth. Her lips parted slightly, and she exclaimed, "Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

The small fireball flew off toward the distance.

"Naruto, three days from now, I will defeat you!"

After saying this, Sasuke picked up a kunai and began practicing thrusts and other close combat techniques.

Clang, clang, clang...

Meanwhile.

In the treetops surrounding the training ground, several black shadows swiftly departed.

Two headed in the direction Naruto had gone, while the other two sped off in the opposite direction.

"Achoo!"

Naruto, happily carrying his ninja tools on his back, suddenly felt an itch in his nose.

Just as he was about to say something, two sharp gazes locked onto him. These two gazes were very familiar.

Naruto sneered inwardly. As expected, with him getting closer to Sasuke at this moment, it had aroused suspicion in the Third Hokage and Danzo.

Before they even reached the training ground for throwing, he had already noticed the surveillance from both the Anbu and Root.

However, after he and Sasuke parted ways, these gazes did not immediately follow, which was enough to show that they had been observing Sasuke during the previous period.

"Damn it... When will this surveillance ever end?"
