(SI/No Meta/OCxNaruto endgame/full "reconstruction" of the entire franchise through Shippuden and Boruto) 
Bronze Winner – Webnovel Fanfic Fiesta!

I died in the wrong forest…and woke up in Konoha, in the body of a girl.

I was an anxious second-grader bleeding out in the woods. In this one I open my eyes in a hospital bed, as “Sylvie” – an orphan with no clan, no past, and a body that feels strangely more right than what I left behind. The village calls me just another stray, but one loud blond boy with whisker marks decides otherwise. I become Naruto’s first real friend...and, when Team 7 forms, the kunoichi standing where Sakura would have been.

This is Naruto’s tale of never giving up. It’s also mine: the boy who died once, became a girl, and refused to let anyone face their nightmares alone. And in a village built on shadows and used to treating children as tools: staying together is a war of its own.
