Finally, I’ve made it out, Ando Yuto screamed inwardly. He never imagined that opening his eyes would require such effort. After mustering all his strength, he barely managed to pry them open, only to be met with...a colossal human head? Indeed, the first thing Ando Yuto saw was a head as large as his own body.

Damn it, I really must have arrived in hell—only hell would have giants this enormous. It seems I’m not only dead, but my soul is doomed to eternal damnation, Ando Yuto thought, assuming the "giant" before him was about to devour him.

If I’m about to die, I might as well take a good look at what hell looks like, Ando Yuto thought as he examined the "giant" holding him. He noticed the giant’s long black hair cascading down his back, exuding a sense of ease, yet paired with those piercing eyes, it also radiated an imposing aura befitting someone of high status.

Wait a minute! Aside from being enormous, this "giant" doesn’t seem that different from a regular human. Just as Ando Yuto was about to scrutinize the differences further, the "giant" spoke: "Mikoto, look at our little son. He’s so spirited, his eyes are already darting around. I can tell he’ll be a clever and mischievous child."

Ando Yuto followed the giant’s gaze and thought, "How beautiful!" He saw a lovely woman lying on the bed, her face radiating happiness.

“Yes, this little rascal made sure to give his mother a hard time even before he was born!” the beautiful woman said, casting a loving glance at the curious little Ando Yuto.

When Ando Yuto looked down at himself, he was shocked to see that he had become a baby—a baby! The middle-aged man must be his father, and this beautiful woman his mother. It wasn’t that the giant was enormous; it was that his own body was tiny.

Ando Yuto finally grasped the situation. It seemed he had been reborn and transported to another dimension. But where exactly was he? As he pondered his new world, his mother spoke again: "Husband, let’s name this child Sasuke—Uchiha Sasuke. It’s the name his brother, Uchiha Itachi, suggested before he left for his mission."

"Itachi must really care for his little brother," the middle-aged man said, handing little Sasuke to his wife.

“Indeed. Even before Sasuke was born, Itachi would ask about his brother’s condition every day,” she replied.

"Sasuke, Itachi?" Why do those names sound so familiar, as if I’ve heard them countless times before? Ando Yuto pondered. Could this be...Naruto?

In his previous life, Ando Yuto had been a frequent reader of novels and manga, including Naruto, a series adored by fans worldwide. Although he hadn’t finished it, he knew enough about the characters and storyline. It seemed that after his death in the previous world, he had inadvertently crossed into the world of Naruto.

No way—could I be Sasuke? Ando Yuto began to panic. Could I be the tragic Sasuke from Naruto? The one whose entire clan was slaughtered by his brother at the age of six, kidnapped by the deranged Orochimaru at twelve, and who, after finally avenging his clan at sixteen, discovered that everything his brother had done was for his sake? The one who was ultimately manipulated by that man called Tobi? What a miserable life—always living in deception, never in control of his own destiny. I couldn’t control my fate in my previous life, and now it seems the same in this one... Ando Yuto sighed inwardly but then shouted in his mind: No! I couldn’t seize control of my fate in the past, but this time, no one will dictate my life! If I’m destined to be Sasuke, then I will change his fate. From now on, I am Sasuke—Uchiha Sasuke!

I must quickly strengthen myself, I can’t be as powerless as I was in my previous life, Sasuke resolved, clenching his tiny fists with determination.

"Mikoto, you should rest now. I have some matters to attend to, but I’ll come back to see you tonight," Fugaku said, walking toward the door.

Sasuke, who had been planning his future, was interrupted by the sound of his father’s voice. He lifted his tiny head and watched Uchiha Fugaku’s retreating figure. So, he’s my father? No wonder he’s the leader of the Uchiha clan—his aura far surpasses that of any gang leader from my past life. As Fugaku disappeared from view, Sasuke lowered his head, deep in thought about his future.

“Father!” “It’s Itachi. Go see your mother; she just gave birth to your little brother. Come to my room afterward, I have something to discuss with you,” Uchiha Fugaku said as he walked out of the courtyard.

“Yes, Father,” Itachi replied with a slight bow. Once Fugaku was out of sight, he lifted his head and entered the house.

Hearing this exchange, Sasuke realized that the famous Uchiha Itachi from Naruto had returned. But from the tone of their conversation, it seemed that Itachi didn’t have the best relationship with his father, Fugaku.

"Mother!" Itachi greeted Uchiha Mikoto.

"Itachi, don’t call me ‘Mother,’ call me ‘Mom,’” Mikoto said, shaking her head.

“Yes, Mother,” Itachi replied, still lowering his head.

Sigh I really don’t know what to do with you, Itachi. Come, look at your little brother. He’s taken the name you suggested—Uchiha Sasuke,” Mikoto said with a smile.

Following his mother’s gaze, Itachi looked at little Sasuke, who was staring back with big, bright eyes.

So this is Itachi? Clad in his all-black ninja attire, he truly is a handsome and talented shinobi, Sasuke thought.

"Itachi, you must protect your brother and never let him come to harm," Mikoto said, turning to Itachi.

"Yes, Mother. I will never let anything happen to Sasuke," Itachi replied with unwavering determination.
