Hello child. Yes you boy, there are few others here it this dank alley now aren't there. Now come here boy. Come now I won't harm you, I have little reason to. Let's have a chat shall we. Who am I? I'm just an old beggar near the end of his life. No, no were here to talk about you, Prophecy child.

What's that? Oh it's nothing; nothing at all. Just a title giving by mortal men whose sight is greatly limited in scope. Hmm, my Sight? Yes I lost mine a long time ago or was it but a moment; it's so hard to tell sometimes. Don't worry, I have survived this long without it, it's hardly a problem.

For when I gave up my sight, or was it taken; it's so hard to tell? I gained something beyond sight.

Even without my sight I can see. I have seen the great beast slain by the father and split apart. I have seen a man reborn as god in his anguish. I have seen the red beast a fractal of its former power released upon the innocent. I saw the savior sacrifice himself for all he loved. I have seen the lonely raven slay his family save one for the good of all. I see the snake's cunning defeat the monkey's power. The tearful god takes the life of a toad and nearly destroys the hope. And through it all I see you boy.

You don't understand do you? That's fine, Suffice to say I have a gift; a gift I wish to share with you.

Ah I see in your eyes that naked greed that all children possess but oh, behind it and around it wariness and under it, fear.

It must be so rare for you to receive gifts without purpose. I confess this gift too is not without a catch. But don't worry I do not serve any agenda. This is a gift given entirely in selflessness.

Why? My boy I am simply too old to continue. Too weak and unskilled to do what must be done. But you boy, are the key you have the power, the will and the destiny. You simply need to accept.

There, it's done. An eye for an eye, now get up and stop crying. The pain will go soon enough, distant and dreamlike as if it never happened. You will soon wake up, at home, from a nightmare that you can't recall with two normal blue eyes.

But you will see soon the powers of your right. The Sight of an imperfect god, Fukanzen kami no me. And when you come of age and feel that dreary feeling deep within your bone you shall find me again. And on that day in a field that stretches forever. Hidden inside a ring of sunflowers you shall claim my left and see as gods truly do.

He is long gone now, or did he just leave? As if he had never been here at all. His silent watchers will never know what happen here. I do hope I am right to trust you young Naruto. For now I am truly blind all I can do is fade now. Fade and await you within that ring of sunflowers.

Godspeed young one.
