I've Been Watching You

Dear Naruto,

It's been awhile since I've seen you. If your reading this letter then it is clear to me that you have accomplished a life long goal of yours. My name is Minato Namikaze, and I was at one time, the fourth hokage.

You were born only a few days ago and I can already see your WhirlPool blood in you, you're looking more and more like your mother Uzumaki Kushina everyday. I love you so much and I wish I could be with you and watch you as you grow up into a fine young man. But that can't happen, because as of tonight. I'll no longer be with the living world. I'm performing an advanced jutsu that will seal a horrible beast called the Kyuubi into you. Unfortunately because of this deed to the village, I'll be dead. And your only family left with be on your mothers side as well as your mother who never came back from her mission but is still not presumed dead.

By doing this deed also, you'll be treated very low but that's why I chose you to be the container. Because your strong enough to live past all the horrible things that the villagers will put you through. I'll try as hard as I can to get the villagers to respect you and treat you as a hero that saved the village from contamination, but don't blame them if they treat you horribly. They mean well, they really do.

As I write this letter I can hear the helpless screams of the ninja's fighting to protect this village. The trees whipping through the air, and the horrible stomp of the Kyuubi. Why it chose to come here is beyond me. But this has to be done.

Sarutobi has just walked in to lead me the middle of the fight. Remember Naruto, there are people out there that truly care for you. Just try to make friends and everything will be alright. I must go now, I'll always be by your side. Watching you carefully, train everyday. And everytime you see a glint in the sky, that'll be me. So everytime you feel like breaking down to cry, looking up at the sky and think of me. I'll be watching you.

Signed,

Minato Namikaze

Yondaime Hokage
