Only Kurama and the newly christened Shiranui remembered her past as Naruto Uzumaki, the mischievous, persevering boy from Konohagakure. The other tailed beasts regarded her as they always had—an equal, a comrade-in-arms. Although she now bore whiskered cheeks like them and was covered in the same vibrant orange fur, her gaze held a remnant of humanity they couldn't recognize. As far as they were concerned, Shiranui had been living amongst them as a Tailed Beast for a time immemorial. There was no trace left of the Ninja Hero and Savior of the Fourth Great Ninja War.
Physically fox-like, Naruto, Shiranui, found herself in a constant struggle to remember the names of human anatomy. She stared at her own paws, the disbelief that these were once her hands, still took her breath away. Her brain grappled to recollect what she once referred to as "hands" but to no avail. The memories, it seemed, remained locked behind a door her mind refused to open.
Her daily routine was a tireless effort to regain her lost identity. She observed her paws curiously, her eyes scanning the once human fingers, now potent with sharp claws—tools for a beast's survival, tools of a predator. She flexed and unflexed, gripped and released, trying to summon the memory of a time when these paws were mere hands, delicate yet powerful tools of a ninja. Despite the painful cognizance of her past, her paws stood as a testament of her transformation. The truth of her existence disrupted her heavily, spiraling her mind between who she was and who she is now.
A strange sense of melancholy took over her daily life as she was torn between past and present. Her lonesome, thoughtful gaze held a certain sense of forlorn longing, for a time that was long gone. Yet, nestled deep within her despair was a pearl of hope. A glimmer of resolution sparked as Shiranui stared at her beastly paws.
She chose to fight, to reclaim her identity, not to become Naruto Uzumaki once again, but to be Shiranui, the human—turned—Nine-Tailed Vixen, who despite her vixen appearance, remembered her human identity and dared to yearn for it.
She would morph this daunting experience into a defining aspect of her life. She would become the bridge connecting the Tailed Beasts and the humans, the beacon of hope teetering on the threshold of despair. Only then would Shiranui reclaim her past, not as Naruto Uzumaki, but as herself, embracing her new life with acceptance and strength.

Prompt: write a part 2 were only shiranui and kurama are the only ones who remember her past as a human with the other tailed beasts treating her as if she had always been one of them. along with this her hands now called paws in her mind with her trying desperately to remember what she used to call her paws but is unable to think of the old name The wheel of destiny spun erratically as Kurama, the mighty Nine-Tailed Fox, embarked on a daunting endeavor to rectify the absence of his lost siblings. The loneliness of being the solitary tailed beast led him to proceed with something unprecedented. He initiated the metamorphosis of Naruto Uzumaki into his female twin, christened as Nine-Tailed Vixen, a testament to fox-like feminine allure. The transformation started gradually. Naruto's skin prickled as tufts of vibrant orange fur sprouted all over. His amicable face gradually molded into a keen muzzle, reminiscent of the vixens he had encountered on his journeys. But perhaps the most significant change was his legs, morphing into the graceful digitigrade ones of a fox, forcing him to adjust to pacing on paws. Remnants of human toes were replaced with sturdy fox paws, sharp, durable, and suited for the quadruped stance he would soon be required to maintain. His usual voice softened and feminized as he convincingly embodied the formidable voice of a tailed beast, intimidating and commanding respect. His transformation did not come without struggle. His spine twisted and contorted, shifting his stance from bipedal to quadruped. The unfamiliarity of this new posture caused him to lose balance repeatedly, and Kuruma relentlessly pushed him down, not allowing any retreat to his former self. His memories of bipedal movements were erased, leaving behind a disoriented sense of motion, trapped in a body his mind did not recognize. Naruto's pleas to regain those memories fell on deaf ears, as Kurama resolved to make the transformation unyielding. Naruto's transformation was physically complete; the furry hands sporting dangerous claws, the nine bushy tails, symbolic of the beast he was turning into, the slender body, epitomizing feminine delicacy, and the distinct organs that designated him as a fully functioning vixen. However, it was the psychological transformation that was the most profound. Naruto's identity was stripped away as people's memories of him were erased, leaving behind the echo of a boy who once existed. Naruto struggled as the name he knew and answered to evolved into a female one chosen by Kurama. He was compelled to adopt it, despite the resistance of the remnants of Naruto. Although his consciousness constantly reminded him of his prior existence, to everyone around him, even the other tailed beasts, this female vixen had always been their reality. He was a stranger in his own memory, a boy lost in time. Kurama reveled in the presence of his new sister. His gaze lingered on her, and a wicked gleam sparked in his eyes. He finally announced her new name, "Shiranui," a name that was to replace Naruto, as everyone except her would now know her. The Nine-Tailed Vixen, Shiranui, once Naruto Uzumaki, was now one amongst the tailed beasts, forever carrying the illusion of having always been there.
