A/N Hello! Hello! How are all of you today? Welcome to Ch, 11 of Man with Sage Eyes. Man 20,000 words who would have thought that I would come this far? I really didn't in fact I still kind of expect this to crash and burn but hell I'm going to ride it until I either crash and go up in flame or I land safely with an accomplished story whichever happens I'll be happy knowing that I tried without further ado

Song of the day-A New Hope by Broken Iris
Naruto lay in his bead staring at the ceiling, he felt numb the Hokage was dead… the man who was the closest thing to family to him was gone, now he would never get him back. It's funny actually now that he was gone Naruto realized how little he truly knew about the aged Hokage, but that didn't make him any less his grandfather. Raising his hand he looked at the scroll he grasped, it was delivered by the Hokage's summon Enma.
Seeing no point in wasting any more time Naruto sat up before he walked over to the little table and sat down. Slowly he opened and unsealed the contents inside, there was a Chunin vest and a little box, however there was also a little letter next to it, slowly he reached out and picked it up. It was from the third Hokage and it was addressed to him. Slowly he opened it up and took out to the letter
Dear Naruto
If you are reading this, then I have perished. While I sit here in my office I can't help but look back at the choices I made, your just about to start the academy, and more and more I find myself regretting the decision to allow you to live on your own. However this is not a time for sadness but joy after all today is the day you get promoted to Chunin, I congratulate you Naruto I know you have earned this position but now being able to see you one day be Hokage pains me. But know this Naruto I believe in you I believe that you can one day be Hokage, so I'm going to give you some tips for when you do take the hat.
Don't ever let anyone tell you what to do, listen to the opinions of others but allow your heart to guide you it will never lead you astray.
Never let you're morals change. Whatever you believe in whatever you think is the right thing to do, do it. I know as a shinobi you will have to do unspeakable things, and for you your burden is heavier than most but I know you can do it Naruto.
Finally work on your patience being Hokage means having to deal with a lot of stressful situation but you must be strong, for you will be the beacon that everyone will look to in the darkest of times, however if you are weak then your followers will also be weak so become strong Naruto not just of body, but of mind and spirit too.
Well that's all I have to say about being Hokage the rest you'll pick up over time, in the box you will get with this letter leaves you a few things I won't explain all of it however I do want you to know this, the Chunin vest is mine when I was a Chunin wear it with pride because when you wear that vest your actions not only reflect yourself but all of Konoha, however I know you will do it well.
That is all I have to say Naruto but know this, I have always, and I always will consider you my grandson, and no matter what you do, no matter whom you become I will always be proud of you
Sincerely
the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi
Naruto's hands shook as he finished reading the letter, all of this time he knew the Hokage considered him a grandson, however there was always doubt but to know the Hokage truly cared for him, he could not help but let loose some tears. It took him a little while to get his tears under control he looked at the box.
It was a simple wooden box; on the top of it was a symbol for the Sarutobi clan, slowly he reached for the box. Opening it, it revealed a note on the top which simply said "I know you'll do me proud Naruto"
Looking inside of the box Naruto took out two books, one was labeled "the beginners guide to Fuinjutsu (sealing arts)" the other was the "beginners guide to Boujutsu (staff techniques *I think not 100% on that one)" looking at the package Naruto gave a small smile
"I will Jiji I will do you proud"
A/N I know I know this Ch. Is horrifically short however it was meant to be that way, I promise a especially long Ch next time, but for now please don't hate me TTFN ta ta for now
