"How can I become Hokage when I can't even save one friend?" said Naruto.

"How can you become Hokage when you can't even let go of one friend for the good of the village?" a mysterious voice stated.

"Huh? Who said that?" the blonde responded.

"I did," the voice said as someone started to materialize in front of him. This someone had one arm and the place the other one should be appeared to be bark sticking out of its body, black spiky hair, and eyes mismatched with one being an onyx black and the other crimson. It was none other than Danzo, the supposedly dead Rokudaime Hokage Kōho. "It appears that the future of the world will fall into your hands."

"What do you mean the future of the world?"

"Stop messing around!" Danzo stated in a harsh voice. "You know very well what I mean. You are the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune, the strongest of the Bijuu. Though you may only hold half of it, it is known that Kyuubi had over double the power of even Hachibi. That means that along with the Senjutsu, you have the potential to be the most powerful human in the element nations. It is your destiny to unite the element nations under the banner of Konoha and bring peace to this land of conflict. To do this you must do what must be done."

"…I shall do it" Naruto replied after absorbing what he had just heard.

"Do not waver." He stated as he started to fade to nothing.
