In this reimagined version of the story, Sasuke is a girl named Sasuka, adding a new dynamic to her character arc and relationships. Naruto has two siblings: Naruko, a girl, and Menma, a boy. Menma is the eldest, born one year before Naruto and Naruko, who are twins and were born at the same time.

The key event that changes the course of history is the attack of the Nine-Tails (Kurama) on Konoha. Unlike the original timeline where Minato sacrificed himself, this time, it was the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who used the Reaper Death Seal. He divided Kurama's chakra and spirit in a strategic manner: half of Kurama's chakra was sealed into Naruko, the other half into Menma, and Kurama's spirit was sealed inside Naruto.

As a result of this division, the village treats Naruko and Menma as heroes and views them as future Hokage candidates because they hold Kurama's chakra, a valuable source of power. They are praised and revered for their roles in containing the Nine-Tails' immense energy. On the other hand, Naruto, who carries the Nine-Tails' malevolent spirit, is met with fear, distrust, and hatred by the villagers. They see him as a threat rather than a savior, blaming him for the lingering danger of Kurama's influence, even though he had no control over the situation.

minato and kushina tried to love them equally, but Over time, Minato and Kushina, who were once dedicated parents, became increasingly distant. They were consumed with the responsibilities of nurturing and training Naruko and Menma, who were being groomed as the village's future leaders. In focusing on their two gifted children, they slowly began to neglect Naruto. The fear and stigma surrounding Naruto, coupled with the village's reverence for Naruko and Menma, made it easy for his parents to overlook him. As the years passed, Minato and Kushina's attention was almost entirely on Naruko and Menma, and they gradually forgot about Naruto, leaving him to face his isolation alone.
