I do not own Naruto, DW, or SAO.
I'm assuming that you've realized by now that the 11th Doctor is Naruto.
I'll be referring Naruto as 'The Doctor' because that's who he is.
His personality will be a slight merge of 11 and Naruto.

Japan, Tokyo, 2015.
The hum of a sick TARDIS rang across the midnight sky of Tokyo, veiled by the busy traffic and loud midnight clubs.
The Blue Box was flying above Tokyo, the Doctor hanging from the edge, desperately hanging on for dear life.
The control panel of the TARDIS was now almost completely covered with fire, sending sparks all across the inside of the TARDIS.
"Come on...", moaned the Doctor, his screwdriver in his mouth. He slowly climbed inside the TARDIS, trying to hang on while the TARDIS was shaking so hard that the Doctor could've sworn it was trying to send him flying through the air and into the streets of Tokyo.
"GRAHHHH" The Doctor's torso was now in the TARDIS. Trying to find balance, the Doctor looked back at his legs, which were hanging down from the TARDIS.
However, his legs weren't the only thing he saw.
Tokyo Tower's brilliant white and red design was right in front of him, ready to smash his body into the TARDIS.
Thinking quickly, the Doctor pulled his screwdriver out of his mouth and pointed it at the TARDIS, commanding the box to go up to avoid the tower.
The momentum of the jolt took the Doctor by surprise, sending his torso back out of the TARDIS.
"AHHHHHH", screamed the Doctor, the tip of Tokyo Tower narrowly missing... A very very important organ in his body if the universe had any hopes of having another Time Lord.
"Phew. That was cloooose!", said the Doctor. He finally was able to climb back into the TARDIS, closing the door behind him. Relieved, the Doctor started to analyze his new incarnation. "Definately a hyperactive, energetic, optimistic person who tends to find himself in trouble. This feels like back when I was the 5th!"
BANG
Another shockwave was sent throughout the TARDIS, this time altering the TARDIS's gravity system, sending the Doctor right into his Library.
...
A orange-haired girl sat on her bed, her blankets over her head and a bible in hand. She had a red and sweater on with white pants, home alone at the age of 8 due to her busy parents and her brother being over at a sleepover.
Normally, with other people around the house, she wouldn't be bothered with a certain defect in her room that scared her, but since she was alone, it was much more frightening.
"Dear God... Thank you for my Dog, my awesome brother, my Video games, and a peaceful life in an awesome country... It's... Almost my Birthday in 3 weeks, I'll be turning 9 at the end of September. I wouldn't bother you, since you're always busy so I hope it doesn't bother you, but honestly it's an emergency. There's... This crack in my wall. My parents tell me it's just an ordinary crack but I know it's not because at night, I can here voices coming from it... So please please send someone to fix it... Or a policeman or..." The child's prayer was cut off by the loud sound of the wind and a crash in her backyard.
The child stood up from her bed and picked up a flashlight from her desk. She pulled the curtains from her room and looked into her backyard.
And there it was. A Blue Box had crashed into her ancient tree house and landed next to another tree.
The Blue Box had smoke coming from it, and to the child, there was only one explanation to what had happened.
"Thank you, Kami-sama..."
She ran down the stairs and opened the door to her backyard and stared at the Blue Box with awe in her eyes. 'Police Public Call Box'... She read (AU: The TARDIS Translates everything, including words... I think)
BANG
The sudden explosion took the child by surprise; she took a few steps back as the doors of the box opened, an anchor with a rope attached to it coming from inside.
She turned back to the box and was surprised as she heard footsteps coming from inside... Until... A hand appeared, grabbing the edge of the box.
'A man?', she thought.
Another hand appeared, grabbing the edge of the box.
'Yup, definitely a man.', she thought.
A man's head appeared in between the arms, his usually spiky hair damp and wet, his face dripping with the mixture of sweat and water.
The child's eyes widened as the human and the Time Lord stared at each other.
It was the Time Lord that broke the silence. "Can I have an apple?", he asked, "All I can think about right now... APPLES! I Love apples! Maybe I'm having a craving or something! That's new... Never had cravings before!"
The Child continued to stare at the Doctor as he climbed up from the box, staring back at the entrance with interest. "Wow... Would you look at that? Must say, that is one hell of a climb."
"Are you... Okay?", asked the human.
"Just had a fall, all the way down to the Library. Really, a hell of a climb back up.", said the Doctor.
"You're soaking wet...", said the child.
"I was in a swimming pool.", said the Doctor.
"You said you were in a library...", said the child.
"Yes... There was a swimming pool, next to the library.", said the Doctor.
The child furrowed her brows in frustration. "Are you a policeman?", she asked.
"Why?", asked the Doctor. "Did you call a policeman?"
"No... Did God send you?", asked the child.
"No, I've never met hi-" the Doctor felt a jolt of excess regeneration energy in his body that needed releasing building up, causing him to have a small seizure. "Ahh Ragh! Ouch!", he said, falling with a painful thud on the ground.
The child stared with wide eyes as the Doctor fell and asked, "Are you alright, Doctor-san?"
The Doctor stood on his knees, putting a hand on his chest and waving his hand with his free one. "I'm fine... This is part of the process... I'm perfectly Norm- a- a aaaaah..." The Doctor opened his mouth, a stream of Regeneration energy escaping his body.
The child was now utterly confused to what was going on... This blond man was certainly interesting. "Who are you?", she asked.
"I dunno", he said, extending his hands which were glowing with energy. "Still cooking. I'll know soon enough, I suppose. Does it scare you?"
The child crossed her arms and smiled. "No, it just looks weird."
The Doctor raised an eyebrow. 'She seems pretty fun! Or am I just weird?', he thought. He jumped to his feet, clapping his hands together and rubbing them. "Well then, no time to lose! I'm the Doctor, do everything I tell you without question, don't ask stupid questions and don't wander off. Seriously, don't wander off." He turned around and smacked himself against a tree, falling down to the ground with yet another painful thud.
"Are you sure you're alright?", asked the child.
"Early days...", said the Doctor. "Steering's a bit off for this one."
15 minutes later.
The Doctor, who was still in his tattered, burnt, and ruined clothes stood in the orange-haired child's kitchen waiting for his beloved apple to be handed to him.
The child returned with an apple in hand, examining the Doctor with a pair of very confused hazelnut eyes. "If you're a Doctor, why does your box say 'Police Box'?", she asked.
The Blond Time Lord said nothing and grabbed the apple, taking a bite before spitting out almost as quick as he put it in his mouth.
The child looked at the piece of apple on the ground with disgusted eyes, about to complain. However, the Doctor beat her to it.
"*Cough* That is disgusting. What the hell is that?", he asked.
"It's... An apple?", she replied.
"Well apples are rubbish, I hate apples, almost as much as I hate pears.", he said.
"You... Said you loved them.", she said, sweat dropping slightly at the man's unpredictable attitude.
"No, no, no. I think... I love Onigiri! Onigiri's are my favourite! Give me some onigiri!", he said.
The girl pulled one out of her refrigerator and handed it to the Time Lord. He immediately took apart the wrappings and took a bite... Only to spit it out in the sink so fast that it looked as if he didn't even put it in his mouth.
"I hate onigiri. It's disgusting! The texture is too unnatural.", he said.
"You said you they were your favourite!", she said.
"New mouth! New rules. It's like eating after brushing your teeth everything just tastes rawWWW AHHHH!" A sudden burst of Regeneration energy made its way to the Doctor's head, healing the part where the Doctor smashed his head on the tree 15 minutes ago.
The Doctor leaned forward, bent backwards, then straightened up before slapping his hand on his forehead, diffusing the rest of the Regeneration energy that he didn't need.
"Doctor, what's wrong? Are you alright?", the child asked. She was seriously considering whether the man was drunk or not.
"Wrong with me? What's wrong with you? Why can't you give me some decent food! You're Japenese, I thought you people were better at everything.", he said.
The child took this as a challenge and started cooking for the alien.
This was going to take a while.
20 minutes Later
Trial after Trial after Trial.
Error after Error after Error.
The child was becoming seriously frustrated. The man seemed to just hate everything that was handed to him.
Miso soup, Tempura, Udon, Sukiyaki, and even Bacon! Who doesn't like bacon?!
Dango! Nikujaga! Yudofu! Senbei!
Nothing seemed to match his appetite. She found herself opening the refrigerator once again. "We've got some Pears."
The Doctor almost fell out of his chair. "Pears?! Are you insane?"
She sighed again, trying to think of something that he would like.
A lightbulb appeared on top of the Time Lord's head, an idea sparked in his mind. "No no no... I know what I need. I need... Fish fingers and Ramen with custard!
5 Minutes Later
The Doctor was happily munching on Fish fingers, drinking the last of his Ramen soup and sighing in content with his full stomach.
Nothing like Fishfingers and Ramen. Custard just made things 10x better.
...Yeah, Time Lords have really weird appetites.
"You're funny.", said the child.
"Am I? Good. Funny's good.", said the Doctor. "I never got to ask, what's your name? And how old are you?"
"Asuna Yuki, and I'm 8, turning 9 in a few weeks.", said Asuna.
"Woah Asuna Yuki. Asuna Yuki! Sounds like a name from a fairy tale.", said the Doctor.
"What about yours? And how old are you?", asked Asuna.
"Just the Doctor, that's what I call myself and it's what others call me. For the second question, well..." The Doctor chuckled slightly, "A lot older than you."
Asuna furrowed her brows. "You couldn't be older than 40, even if you are someone who looks really young for your age. You look like you're in your late 20's or early 30's."
"Do I know? That's good to hear... I swear I'm getting younger everytime I regenerate...", he said.
"What?", asked Asuna.
"Nevermind. You wouldn't understand even if I explained. Anyway! Where are your parents? Are they upstairs?", asked the Doctor. Asuna's face darkened slightly, her bangs covering her eyes. She really disliked her parents, especially her mother. They were always strict and always serious. Thank god her brother had a good sense of humour. "Thought we might've woken them up by now", said the Doctor, finishing his sentence.
"They're out because of work. My Onii-san's at a sleepover, so I'm home alone.", said Asuna.
"I don't even have a Kaa-san or a Tou-san.", said the Doctor.
"Well, you're lucky", said Asuna.
The Doctor gave Asuna a sad smile. "I know I am. So your parents left you all alone?"
"I'm not scared!", said Asuna, puffing out her cheeks slightly.
"'Course you're not scared! At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if you weren't scared of anything! Box falls out of sky, Man comes out of box, Man eats fish custard and look at you! Just sitting there... You know what I think?", said the Doctor.
"...What?", asked Asuna.
"Must be one hell of a scary crack in your wall...", said the Doctor.
Asuna's eyes widened. "How do you know about the crack in my wall? I don't think I told you about it...", said Asuna.
"I can feel it. The temporal energy of time is disrupted, and it's source is coming from your room. Probably why the TARDIS landed here, it was being attracted to the force in your wall."
Asuna's room.
"Hmm...", said the Doctor, examining the wall with interest. "That's certainly interesting. As you might've been able to tell, this is no ordinary crack in your wall.", said the Doctor.
"I know, said Asuna, pulling out another apple. "You know, I hate apples too... My brother puts faces on them with his teeth... Made me do it too, and know I've gotten into the habit.", said Asuna.
The Doctor turned around, catching the apple Asuna threw at him. A face was carved out of it. "Looks pretty cool, I'll keep it for later. So! The wall is solid, but the crack doesn't go all the way through... So, what's with this crack... Don't worry though, I'll find a way to fix it, believe it..." 'Okay, I'm never saying that ever again...'
The Doctor took out his screwdriver and analyzed the crack. "Hmm. Wibbly wobbly, Timey wimey, Spacey wacey, humany womany, Cracky Wacky, Wally Cally. I think I know what the crack is. D'you know what the crack is?"
"...What is it?", asked Asuna
"Well it's a crack", said the Doctor.
"I know that part...", said Asuna.
"But I'll tell you something funny, even if you broke this wall down, the crack would stay put because the crack isn't in the wall, it's..." the Doctor leaned against the wall, tracing his finger across the crack.
"Where is it then?"
"Not sure... Could be anywhere, but it's two parts of space and time that should never have touched that are pressed together..." The Doctor turned around to see that Asuna was looking quite nervous.
He leaned his ear against the wall and asked, "Sometimes, can you hear something coming from the wall?", he asked.
"Voices, yes", said Asuna.
The Doctor grabbed a cup from Asuna's desk, throwing away the water to the carpet, making Asuna frown in annoyance. Ignoring Asuna's look, the Doctor put the cup against his ear and listened closely.
"Prisoner 0... Has escaped.", said a robotic voice.
The Doctor's electric blue eyes glistened with excitement. "Prisoner Zero..."
"Has escaped", Asuna said, finishing his sentence. "What does it mean?"
"It means on the other side of this wall there is a prison... And they've lost a prisoner. Do you know what that means?"
"What", she asked.
"I'm going to have to fix your wall!", said the Doctor. "The only way to close it is to open it all the way. Forces to reverse and snap itself shut. Think of it like an elastic. Right now it's being pulled ever so slightly, but if you pull it all the way and let go, it'll return to it's original shape."
The Doctor put his hands in front of him and said "You know when grownups tell you that everything's going to be fine, but you know it's not going to be fine, but they're saying it's going to be fine to make you think everything is going to be fine when it's not really fine?"
"Yes", said Asuna, rolling her eyes.
"Well then, everything's going to be fine.", said the Doctor.
The Doctor extended a hand, signalling Asuna to take it. Asuna hesitated, but grabbed his hand. Smiling, the Doctor pointed his screwdriver with max power and forced open the crack.
"PRISONER ZERO HAS ESCAPED." said the voice, this time much louder.
"Hello!", said the Doctor.
Asuna was shaking slightly in fear, grabbing the Doctor's left hand so hard that it was cutting off some circulation.
"PRISONER ZERO HAS ESCAPED", said the voice once more.
"Hellooooo", said the Doctor in a sing-song voice.
Out of nowhere, a massive eyeball appeared in the crack, looking around as if it was searching for something.
Slowly, the crack started to close and seal itself, the eyeball returning to where it was.
Eventually, the crack was completely sealed.
"See! I told you I could do it!", said the Doctor in a cheerful voice.
"W-what was that thing? Was that Prisoner Zero?!", asked Asuna, still scared from the encounter.
"No, I think that was Prisoner Zero's guard... He sent me a message to my psychic paper 'Prisoner Zero has Escaped' Yes, but why tell us that? Unless..." The smile on the Doctor's face disappeared. He ran a hand through his blond hair, trying to think of a reasonable explanation.
"Unless... What?", asked Asuna.
"Unless, Prisoner Zero escaped... Through here. But he couldn't have... I'd know...", said the Doctor.
The Doctor suddenly ran down the stairs looking around at the countless doors in Asuna's house. It was quite large, which suggested that Asuna's parents were rich.
"Sorry, it's a bit difficult. Brand new me, I feel like I was much less intelligent than before for some reason. Maybe I was an idiot in my past life or something. Don't worry, I'm still just as smart as before... Just need to get used to this new body. Something I'm missing...", said the Doctor.
RING
The TARDIS let off a chain set of rings, signalling that it was ready to take off.
The Doctor's eyes widened as he realised what was going on. "no NO NO NO!", said the Doctor, running as fast as he could to the TARDIS, Asuna following closely behind him.
"The engines are overflowing! I need to use up the fuel and take off somewhere or else it's going blow up and destroy this planet with it!", said the Doctor.
"But... It's a box! How could it have engines?", asked Asuna.
"Because it's a time machine", said the Doctor, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"What like a real time machine? You have a real time machine?!", asked Asuna.
"Not for long if I can't get it stabilized... 5 minute hop into the future should do the trick", said the Doctor.
"Can I come?", asked Asuna in a hopeful voice.
"Not this time, the engines are too unstable, it'll be dangerous for even me to fly it right now. Give me 5 minutes, and I'll be right back.", said the Doctor.
Asuna looked own at the ground, a sad expression on her face. "People always say that.", she said.
The Doctor, who was about to jump down in to the half destroyed TARDIS looked back at the human and jumped back on the Earth. He crouched down so he was level to Asuna's eyes and said: "I'm not one of those people. Trust me. I'm the Doctor, I never break my promises or go back on my word. Okay? And even if I do take a little longer, just wait for me... I'll be back. I swear.", said the Doctor, giving Asuna one last smile before jumping into the TARDIS with a very loud "GERONIMO!" and a splash.
Asuna gave the Doctor a smile, watching with even more awe as the TARDIS started dematerializing in front of her. She rushed back into her house and headed for her room, ignoring the open door to a room in her house she never opened.
She looked out the window to the spot where the TARDIS was just 30 seconds ago and waited...
For a Doctor that did not return.
