* In ''Fanfic/TimeMixUp'', it's revealed that Anime/{{Naruto}}'s canonical hyperactivity is him when he is ''under medication''. Without medication, he's practically uncontrollable, something that Sasuke, Sakura, Zabuza, Haku and Tazuna's family all witness firsthand when Naruto's meds run out and a PeggySue-ed Kakashi forgot to restock on time. Turns out that both his Uzumaki genes and his status as a jinchuuriki gave him such high amounts of chakra that it channeled into ADHD-like symptoms so strong he had to be put in a padded room at ''age two'' to avoid injuring himself and others, and the medication is his only way not only to have a normal life but also a ''normal life expectancy'', as his body wouldn't be able to take the constant tension and lack of sleep this level of chakra would give him.
