Well, since tomorrow I'll start go to school, after winter break, I guess I can correctly say good bye to my freedom by writing another chapter to this story.
In this story Naruto is 16 years old.
"Talking"
"Thinking"
"Writing"
Disclaimer: I forgot to put this on the first chapter. I don't own anything. Not even the chocolate chips cookies.

It was late in the afternoon when the blonde boy waked up. The first thing he noticed was that he was in a white room, full of wires and machines, dressed in white garbs. He was confused at first, and when he tried to remember where he was he found his mind to be blank. He instinctively reached for his forehead searching for something he didn't know.
"Naruto…" he heard a voice say.
"What?" The blonde boy said while searching for the source of that voice.
"I said, you're finally awake"
"…" He just stared at her face. "Do I… do I know you?"
"The doctors said you hit your head pretty bad… they though you would experience memory loss" The woman in front of him said, while reaching to caress the young boy's face.
"I… can't remember"
"Nothing at all?" The woman asked while looking at the boys blue eyes.
"…Nothing…" He just stared at the ceiling while the woman retreated her hand.
"Do you remember your name?"
The boy looked at the woman's face and saw what he recognized as pity, and perhaps anxiousness? "N-naruto?" He tried to say while making sure he was actually pronouncing his name and not someone's else.
"Naruto?" asked the blonde woman while trying to hide the amusement in her voice. "Your name is Jeremy, not Naruto"
The boy merely looked at her while contemplating what the woman had just said. That name, Jeremy, it brought him no memories, no meaning. It sounded alien in his mind, it felt not right. "Jeremy?"
"Yes. Oh, I was so scared when they called me from here saying you were badly hurt." The woman then covered her face with her hands while crying openly in front of the teenage boy.
"Who are you?" The blond boy said while trying to understand the gravity of his situation.
"… I'm your mother"
"Mother?" he said while staring at her eyes.
"So, or young friend is awake" said an old man while entering the hospital room and looking at the blonde boy in the bed staring at him.
"Doctor! He… he doesn't remember…" The woman started crying even louder.
"Please, don't cry Mrs. Neville. We knew it was possible that when he woke up he might suffer from an small case of amnesia." The doctor then started looking at the young teen before proceeding. "Now… what do you remember?"
"N-nothing… nothing at all, sir"
"Mhmm, nothing? Maybe your case is even worse than I thought"
"Dr. Linderman" The woman hesitated. "Will he remember anything?"She said pleadingly.
"It is possible that his memories will come back. Maybe tomorrow, or maybe in a month." He then looked at the teenage boy. "Or, maybe never. We can't be sure." Then Dr. Linderman proceeded to evaluate him to see if he could find anything wrong at all, besides his apparent lack of memories.
"Jeremy?" Naruto thought while trying to recall anything at all about his current situation, not hearing at all the conversation the woman who claimed to be his mother and Dr. Linderman where having.
"Everything is going according to plan" said the doctor with a smirk in his face.
"I still don't understand why we need this boy" The woman said while looking at the blonde boy that was looking at his hands while trying to remember something.
"Candice, Candice, Candice" The doctor said in a sing song. "Everything on it's time"
As time went on, the doctors decided to let him go in a couple of more days, to see if he could remember anything at all. But, he couldn't help and feel that something was off… different. He remembered part of a dream he thought he have had. Nothing concrete… only a boy and nine tails…
The only thing he asked for was a notebook to pass time. There he recorded some of his dreams, dreams of a boy, dreams of a beast. This dreams plagued his mind every time he closed his eyes, though, he didn't spoke up his concern as he still was finding it really difficult to trust anyone.
"This dreams I've been having feel so strange. I dream of a world beyond everything one could ever see. A world where people hold power beyond any of my wildest dreams. I don't clearly understand what it means, but it feels so vivid. Like, if these dreams are of a life long forgotten, a past life. Nine tails I see in the dream. Nine tails that control power no one knows of not. And a boy… a boy with red eyes… whose gaze holds pain."
When he finished his entry he looked out of his room, and from his window he saw the blue sky and the flying birds. He suddenly found himself thinking he didn't fit in there. He was not really feeling he should be there. Something inside him that was greater than anything he could describe, was calling for him. He knew it… He could feel it. And as the sun was setting and his eyes closing, he couldn't help but think of that place in his dreams.
