Chapter 5: Thoughts on Naruto world

Just as Aurora had predicted, Naruto's embarrassing moments only increased.

Leo, an adult soul trapped in a baby's body, had to endure humiliating experiences daily.

The worst part?

He had grown so attached to Kushina that he refused to leave her side—even for a second.

The moment she disappeared from his view—

"WAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"

He would start crying uncontrollably, flailing his tiny arms like his life depended on it.

Mikoto visited their house daily, always bringing along baby Sasuke.

Every time they met, Naruto and Sasuke—

Fought.

Even though they couldn't walk yet, they somehow managed to hit, slap, and grab at each other.

Tiny fists of fury flew.

Soft baby kicks landed.

They babbled angrily at each other, their meaningless sounds somehow carrying intense emotion.

Kushina and Mikoto?

They just watched and laughed.

"They're already acting like rivals," Mikoto giggled.

Kushina smirked. "Nah, Naruto is just dominating Sasuke!"

Mikoto pouted. "Excuse me? My Sasuke is winning!"

"Are you blind, Mikoto? Look, Naruto's on top—"

"That's only because Sasuke let him! He's saving his strength!"

The two mothers bickered playfully, while their babies continued their tiny war.

Inner World

Meanwhile, inside Naruto's subconscious—

Aurora was dying of second-hand embarrassment.

[Leo, you were a full-grown man before reincarnating. How can you stoop this low? ]

Leo groaned. "You don't understand. This brat is seriously annoying!"

Aurora sighed. [He's just a baby. ]

Leo crossed his tiny arms. "So what? He started it."

Aurora laughed. [You should be ashamed of yourself! ]

Leo rolled his eyes. "Tch. This is war, Aurora."

Aurora smirked. [Sure, sure. A legendary war of diapers and drool.]

Leo: "…"

Despite the chaos, the house was always full of laughter.

Kushina adored every second spent with Naruto.

Even though he was clingy, loud, and whiny—

She loved him more than anything in the world.

And as for Naruto and Sasuke—

Neither of them realized it yet…

But they were building a bond that would shape the future of the world.

One day, Aurora asked Leo a question that made him stop and think.

[Leo, what are your thoughts on the Naruto world? Since you've seen the anime. ]

Leo sighed. "Honestly? Naruto isn't my the most favourite anime—One Piece is."

Aurora: [Oh? Why is that?]

Leo leaned back, his baby body making the motion ridiculous.

"Luffy is the person we all want to be—free-spirited, carefree, and enjoying every second of life.

But Naruto?

Naruto is who we actually are.

A person who was isolated, bullied, beaten down, and had to struggle every day just to exist."

He sighed.

"I loved Naruto, it is one of my favourite anime, but now that I'm living in this world, I can tell you—Konoha is the worst village to live in.

It may be the strongest, but it's a nightmare for its own people.

Here, you don't have to fear outside enemies—the real danger is inside your own village."

[Oh, that was a long explanation. ]

Leo smirked. "You asked, didn't you?"

Aurora chuckled. [Fair. What do you think about the other villages? ]

Leo thought for a moment before answering.

"The best to worst order would be:

1. Kumogakure – No internal threats. Solid leadership.

2. Iwagakure – Best defensive location. Hard to invade.

3. Kirigakure – Used to be a bloodbath, but it's recovering.

4. Sunagakure – Barely any resources. Shinobi are sold like tools.

5. Konoha – The absolute worst. Full of traitors, corruption, and hypocrisy."

[That's a good order. What about the clans? ]

Leo scoffed. "Clans? Pfft. Konoha's clans are just glorified teachers."

He took a deep breath.

"The Uchiha are the best.

They're the most loyal and emotional—if they love someone, they'll never betray them.

Obito is a prime example."

"Next are the Uzumaki.

They're stubborn, resilient, and powerful, but too naive.

They always end up betrayed by their so-called allies.

And worst of all—they always end up alone."

"Senju are mid-tier.

They used to be great, but Tobirama ruined their legacy with his paranoia."

"Hyuga? Slavers.

They cage their own family members. Enough said."

"The Nara?

High IQ, but zero emotional intelligence."

"The rest are just... okay."

[That's a solid breakdown. Now, what about individual characters? ]

Leo's face darkened.

"The worst ones?

The Konoha Elders (KF4)

The Toads

"One manipulated Itachi into wiping out his clan.

The other manipulated Hagoromo into sealing his mother.

And they act like it's all for the greater good."

Aurora was silent for a moment. [Leo, you've got a strong mindset. But now, you need power. ]

Leo grinned. "Exactly. Aurora, do I have a status screen?"

[Yes. Just say 'Status'. ]

"Status!"

Ding!

[ Host: Naruto Uzumaki (Leo Solace)

Current World: Naruto

Lineage: Uzumaki (100%)

Body: Perfect Sage Body ]

Leo blinked. "Wait… that's it? Where's my strength, skills, chakra level—?"

Aurora facepalmed. [Idiot. You're still a baby. What strength do you think you have?]

Leo pouted. "Tch. Fine. Open the Shop."

[Shop Categories:

Abilities

Items

Knowledge

Technology ]

Leo raised an eyebrow. "What's the difference between Knowledge and Abilities?"

Aurora explained.

(Abilities = Instantly grants jutsu, skills, or powers.

Items = Swords, weapons, armor, etc.

Knowledge = Lets you create your own jutsu or skills.

Technology = Advanced ninja tech (can be rented or bought).

Leo's eyes widened. "So Knowledge lets me create abilities instead of just buying them?"

[Exactly. ]

Leo smirked. "Now this… this is interesting."

He clicked Abilities.

Leo's jaw dropped. "A MILLION for the Rinnegan?! Are you serious?!"

Aurora sighed. [Obviously. It's one of the strongest Dojutsu in existence.]

Leo muttered, "Man… being weak sucks."

[At least you're not delusional. ]

Leo grinned. "Tch. Not for long."

While Naruto discussed with Aurora. On the other side of world.

In the mystical land of Mount Myoboku, where time flowed differently and the whispers of fate carried through the winds, an ancient presence stirred.

Gamabunta, the Great Toad Sage, sat on his stone throne, his weathered face twisted in deep thought. He had lived since the era of the Sage of Six Paths, and now—he felt something.

Something ominous.

"Fukasaku! Where are you?"

The deep, booming voice echoed through the vast, moss-covered halls of Mount Myoboku.

Fukasaku, the wise and elderly toad, hurried inside. His small frame contrasted sharply with the immense presence of the Great Sage.

"I'm here, Lord Great Sage Toad," Fukasaku said, bowing respectfully.

Gamabunta's golden eyes narrowed. His expression was unreadable, but his voice was filled with urgency.

"Bring Jiraiya here. Immediately."

Fukasaku hesitated. "Jiraiya-chan? But why?"

Gamabunta's massive fingers drummed against the stone armrest of his throne.

"I have received a premonition."

"Something horrible is about to happen."
