NOTE:

I do not own any of the characters in this story except for my original characters.

Only going to say this once.

Uhhhh…

Oww…

What…

Where…

Chicken…

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!" I yelled as my eyes shot open. My heart was racing. I panted, my whole head sweaty against the pillow.

I focused my eyes into seeing a white roof. A warm blanket covered my body. I was lying on a bed in what seemed like a hospital.

Wait, a hospital?

I sat up, then cried out in pain. Something moved beside the bed, and I whirled my head left.

A chair was on its back and a boy my age was slumped against the wall, rubbing his head.

"Why am I always falling asleep?" he grumbled. "I think I didn't have enough ramen today."

I stared at him.

He slowly stood up and raised his eyes to me. Then he jumped back and hit his head on the wall again.

"Ow!" he groaned. I flinched. That was definitely not healthy.

"Why do you have to go wake up and scare me like that?" he asked. He rose again and glared at me.

"Sorry," I apologized. "I didn't know you were going to get startled that badly."

"It's okay," he mumbled.

"Where am I, by the way?" I inquired. "Who are you?"

"First answer, you're in Konoha Hospital," he answered. "Second, I am Naruto Uzumaki, Genin Shinobi of Team 7, natural prodigy, and I am going to become the Hokage someday. Believe it!" A grin was plastered on his face.

I just stared at him again.

"I don't know any of those terms," I said. "In fact, I don't remember anything."

His smile disappeared. "Nothing?" he asked, now looking concerned.

"Nothing," I confirmed.

"Well, at least, I was able to fool you that I was a prodigy," Naruto snickered.

I smiled, for the first time since I woke up. "Let me guess. You're the dead last in the class?"

"Exactly."

My smile grew. "I actually got fooled."

Naruto laughed. "Your face was priceless. But let's get to the point. You don't remember anything. Not even your name?"

"Well, I remember my name, but nothing else."

"What's your name?"

"Carson," I told him.

"Unique," he commented.

"So, can we get out of here?" I suggested. "I don't like hospitals much."

"Yeah, sure," Naruto agreed. "I'll take you to Kakashi-sensei, and he can see what to do with you."

"Who's Kakashi-sensei?" I asked.

"He's our squad's teacher," he replied. "He's the toughest teacher in all of Konoha."

"Alright, let's go," I said, easing myself out of bed. He came close in case I was to lose my balance. He put my arm around his shoulder and approached the window.

"Wait, what are you doing?" I asked him, fear entering my heart. "Are you going to jump out the window?"

"Yes," Naruto said, absently. He put one foot on the sill.

"Are you crazy?" I shouted. "You're going to break your leg! Why aren't you going through the door?"

Naruto was about to jump off when he stopped. He appeared to be thinking.

"Well, I guess I just to feel cool," he said, grinning. Then he jumped off.

I closed my eyes, preparing to be thrown off. The sensation didn't come.

I cracked open my eyes. Naruto had his head turned towards me, his smile still on his face. I looked down and saw Naruto's feet glowing blue. He didn't seem to be hurt at all.

"Chakra," he grinned. "Can't live without it."

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Hello, my name is TimeTraveler710.

Basically, what's going on here is I've decided to start updating this story again after 3 years. This quarantine has me bored af and I have nothing better to do, so here we go.

This story was previously under the name of Naruto Reality, but I didn't like the title so I scrapped the story and reposted the first 6 chapters under a new name.

Also, when I had written chapters 1 - 6, I was 13 years old, so I had automatically made my character 13 as well. Now I'm 16, so I've aged him up. So from chapter 7, the interactions between my OC and the rest of the gang will be slightly different. For now, the story is going to follow the canon story from Naruto, probably up until Sasuke leaves, but there will be deviations in the Land of Waves arc which will set up where I want this story to go, and it will be pretty cool. I plan on adding more OCs as the story goes on, so the story will deviate farther and farther from canon.

Also, I think my writing has become much better from three years ago, but I'm always looking to improve, so if you have any tips about my story, characters, or writing, please write reviews. I accept all criticism.

Alright that's it, thanks for reading this far, and enjoy!
