Reborn in the Naruto World from the Start

What? This is Naruto?

And what's with my identity? At this point in the story, shouldn't I die from the start?

At least I've got a golden finger. That's good, that's good... Wait, what do you mean, that's good? Why does it feel like I'm about to bite the dust?
