Chapter 1 - The dream

Naruto's mind gradually stirs back to consciousness as he finds himself in an unfamiliar environment. His fuzzy vision gradually sharpens, revealing his surroundings. The room is bare and unfamiliar, a stark contrast to his usual surroundings.

As he becomes more alert, Naruto feels a sense of confusion. Something feels different, as if he's experiencing sensations that shouldn't be his. His heart pounds heavily against his chest, and a series of unfamiliar memories begin to infiltrate his mind.

Naruto experiences a sudden rush of foreign memories, flooding his mind with faces, places, events, and emotions that aren't his own. The unexpected influx of information creates a feeling of disorientation, but it's also accompanied by a sense of intrigue and curiosity. The memories feel vivid and strange, leaving him puzzled as to how they have entered his mind.

Naruto's attention turns to his surroundings, his gaze briefly scanning the small room. The simple furnishings and the lone window catching the faint moonlight are evident. The bed he lies on is disheveled, the blanket and sheets twisted. As he takes in the details of his environment, a strange sense of familiarness lingers, adding to the overall bewildered feeling.

Naruto slowly rises from the bed and finds himself standing in front of a mirror. He gazes at his reflection, his small form clad in what appears to be pajamas. His youthful face stares back at him, His hair, still untidy, frames his face, a messy mop of blond hair.

His eyes, still retaining their familiar blue hue, appear different this time, more mature and filled with an air of wisdom. Despite his young appearance, his features hint at experiences beyond his years. Alongside the maturity, there's an undeniable spark of excitement in his gaze, a sense of anticipation for whatever awaits him ahead. The once carefree innocence in his previous glances has been replaced by a more contemplative and curious expression.

Naruto gazes deeply at the moon through the window, an air of excitement and anticipation filling the room. A smile forms on his face as he muses to himself, "This is the shinobi world, where chakra exists." His heart starts to beat faster as he becomes more and more enthralled by the possibilities presented by this new world. He feels a growing sense of curiosity and desire to explore and understand the nature of chakra in this new world.

Naruto climbs back into bed, the earlier sense of bewilderment still lingering but tempered by a glimmer of skepticism. He can't shake the idea that this could all be just a dream. He tells himself that he'll wake up in the morning, everything going back to normal, but his mind, still filled with the recent memories, starts to question this notion. Despite the uncertainty, he closes his eyes, hoping that once he wakes up, the whole experience will have been nothing more than a bizarre and vivid dream.

As the morning light filters in through the window, Naruto's eyes begin to flutter open, his consciousness stirring from its slumber. He finds himself lying in a bed that both feels familiar and strange at the same time. The mattress beneath him is comfortable, yet something about it feels off, almost as if it's not the bed he's used to sleeping in. The sun's soft rays dance across the room, casting a gentle glow on the surroundings. Confused and still somewhat disoriented, Naruto tries to gather his bearings and make sense of his current situation.

As his mind slowly comes back to consciousness, the events of the previous night come flooding back to him. It is then that he suddenly sits bolt upright, his eyes wide with realization. He looks around, taking in his surroundings - the room unfamiliar yet familiar at the same time. This is not a dream anymore, he now realizes. He is living in the world of the shinobi, and everything that has happened is real.

Naruto, still filled with amazement, stands by the window, gazing out at the village before him. A small smile tugs at the corners of his lips as he whispers to himself, "The dream has become reality." It's almost surreal for him to accept that he has found himself in the world of the shinobi, a world he once thought existed only in fiction. He continues to look out, a mix of awe and excitement filling his heart.
