I don't own Naruto. If i did it would have been realistic. I only own the 2 OCs that are in this chapter.


'Well it appears that I am dead. Oops.' Was the only thought that crossed my mind as a regained consciousness. Where am I anyway? I looked around and find darkness. Literally! Everywhere I looked it was dark and nobody was here!

'Is this what Hell looks like! I mean it could be Limbo or Purgatory but it's Hell either way to me!' I thought panicking. I'm the type of person who likes to have fun and hates boredom. So being stuck in a dark void with nothing to do is torture! I'll die of boredom! Wait, I'm already dead. Does that mean if I die as a spirit I'll cease to exist? NOOOOO!

"Calm down, you're not in Hell and you're not going to stay here for very long." A gravelly old voice suddenly reassured me, surprising me a little.

I turned around and saw a kind-faced, frail looking, wrinkly old man. He wore a old, filthy robe and cloak. He also carried a big cane. I honestly thought he looked like a combination of a begger and a village elder. The kind, wise one. Not the arrogant, prideful, grouchy, jackasses. The first one I like.

The old man gave a small amused laugh and raised his hand, that wasn't holding a cane, up in peace. "Sorry to startle you. I just thought I let you know I'm here before you have a panic attack." The old man apologized

I let out a laugh and said "Oh no! It's quite alright. I'm just glad I'm not alone in... whatever this place is." I looked around again to see if there are more people but found none. "Where am I anyway?" I asked. It's not Heaven that's for sure, but the old man said it's not Hell either. Even if I view it otherwise. But it won't matter now, even if I am curious. He also said I won't be here for long, so I'm happy.

'Wait, how does he know I won't be here for long?' I realized. Is he some sort of judge determining whether or not I'll be sent to Heaven?

The old man let out a small laugh "No. I'm not a Judge, nor any Deity."

'Shit, can he read minds?!' I thought

"But as to where you are, you're at Limbo." The old man continued on, most likely ignoring what I'm thinking. I pouted and puffed out my cheeks. How rude! Wait, did he say...

"Limbo! I can't be! I mean I know I'm dead but I don't feel lost!" I whined

The old man sighed "You're not sent here because you're lost. You're here because you're chosen to go on the next great adventure."

'Did he just make a Harry Potter reference?' was my first thought 'WOOHOO! ADVENTURE!' was my second thought.

"Before you get too excited. I need to let you know not everything is free." The old man said turning from amusement to serious

Seeing this, I lost my smile and turned serious "What kind of price?" I warily asked

It was silent for awhile, as the old man stares at me judging. The tension increases making me very uncomfortable, but I refuse to wither. Finally the old man, seemed to find what he was looking for, nodded and answered "I need you to make a difference."

I was stumped. "Make a difference?"

The old man nodded

"What does that mean? Make what difference?" I asked feeling curious

"You aren't ready for that answer at the moment." The old man responded

I wanted to get more answers but I know a situation where you just don't make demands. That, and I don't have any blackmail on the guy I just met.

I sighed "Alright fair enough. But that doesn't explain who you are?" If I can't get anymore information, I should at least know the name of my... What do I call him? Either way I get the feeling I'll see a lot of him later. If he and I are going to work together on whatever comes next, I should at least know his name.

The old man then tried to look mysterious and answered "I am called a lot of things my dear. A benefactor, a guardian, a mentor, and was even called a tutorial guide at one point."

'A tutorial guide?' I thought, trying not to laugh. I guess it makes sense since he reminds me of a introduction character you sometimes see in video games.

But that answer doesn't satisfy me "I'm not asking about your title. I'm asking about your name." I probed more.

"Who I am is no importance." The old man insisted

I frowned "It is to me, since I know this won't be the last time I see you."

The old man sighed "Alright, but I must warn you my name is difficult to pronounce."

"Try me." Challenge accepted!

"My name's...[gibberish]" the old man introduced himself.

"Huh?" I let out stupefied.

The old rolled his eyes "Just call me Old Man" he grumbled

Well I guess until I pronounce his name right, I get call him Old Man.

I sighed "Alright, you win." I never met anyone who I can't mess with or troll in a long time, well except maybe Boss in a few occasions. "So... When do we start!" I chirped, smiling in full force, feeling both determined and excited to face the unknown

The Old Man smiled slightly at this, looking both pleased and amused. "It's good to see someone eager and determined. Usually people in your position would be terrified."

I scoffed "Well... Unlike them I'm not most people. I live for fun!"

"I thought you live to save lives considering your profession as a doctor."

"That too!"

The Old Man laughed "Very well" he then tapped his can on the 'ground'. As the tap echoed around the dark void, a misty light suddenly appeared surrounding us, along with bubbly like vortexes.

I was at awe at the extraordinary occurrences around us, that I didn't notice that the Old Man raised his hand out to me until he coughed breaking me out of my astonished state.

"Time to go. Although I must warn you, there is a chance that you'll die again if you don't tread carefully. Especially in this particular universe we're going. Are you sure you want to go through the possibility of dying again and face the pain of losing whatever precious people you earn along your journey?" The Old Man asked giving me the option to back down.

Well... Not in a million years Old Man! "Life is about taking risks, and I am willing to take it!" I chirped grabbing the Old Man's hand and drove towards one of the bubbly vortexes.

"W-wait!"

Too late I went through.
