Chapter 5- Getting Stronger
It was a dark and dreary night at Myobokuzan Mountain. There wasn't a star in sight, the only thing you saw when you look up to the dark skies was the shinning silver moon. On a giant sized leaf laid a 16 year old boy named Naruto. He stared into the moon with tears in his sapphire eyes. "I still can't believe it," said the boy. "I can't believe my father was the person to put this burden in me". In the boys hand was a scroll with golden strings attached to it tying the scroll shut.
"I guess I should read what's in this scroll," said Naruto as he whipped the tears of his face. He then untied the strings; he slowly grabbed the two sides of the scroll and pulled them apart opening it. Inside was a letter. Naruto began to read.
Dear Naruto,
If you are reading this then I am dead. Naruto I am truly sorry for putting this burden in you but you must understand why I did it. If there was another way to get rid of that demon I would've done it but I had no other choice. Naruto I had to pick you to carry this burden because I know you are strong enough and you won't let that beast consume you. You have the will of fire in you and I can see it in your eyes. I saw it as I first picked you up to give you my first and last kiss. My son I hope one day you forgive me for what I'ved done to you, and I also hope the villagers treat you with respect. Naruto you are a hero to them and never let anyone or anything get in the way of your goals and dreams. Remember me and your mom love you soo much. Take care my son and I am sorry.
Love,
Minato Namikaze
P.S- Naruto I left instructions to my jutsus on the back of the scroll, just wipe your blood on it and the instruction will appear. Take care and make me proud.
Tears ran down the boy's cheeks, he choked on his sobs. "I forgive you dad," said the crying boy. 'Dad, mom, pervy-sage, and Sakura-Chan I will get strong and make you all proud' said the boy to himself as he drifted off to sleep still sobbing and crying.
IN THE MORNING
The sun rose and the light hit a sleeping Naruto's face. He opened his eyes; on his hand he had the scroll he was reading last night. He looked at it and smiled. He jumped of the leaf he slept at and made his way through the swampy lands to find Fukasaku.
5 minutes later….
Naruto found his teacher sitting down next to a pool of oil. The blonde made his way to greet his teacher.
"Hey you old toad!" screamed Naruto.
"So I guess your all clamed down now eh, Naruto?" said the toad.
"Yes and look what I found." Naruto handed the scroll to his old aged teacher. The teacher was amazed with what he saw. "So, Naruto these are your father's jutsus?"
"Yep," said Naruto smiling.
"And let me guess you want me to help you train."
"Yep"
"Very well I shall help you with these jutsu and while we are at it, we going to finish your sage training, ok?"
"Yes! Thank you so much Fukasaku!" said Naruto with a wide smile and grin on his face.
"No problems but you do realize this training is going to take a long time? But since you have a lot of chakra and stamina it shouldn't take long for you to finish it," said the toad.
"How long you think it will take?" questioned the boy.
"No more then two years my boy," laughed Fukasaku. "Now Naruto this is going to be a hard and two long years but first I need to send a letter to Tsunade-sama explaining everything."
"Ok you old toad, but can I ask you a favor?"
"Sure what is it Naruto?" asked the now confused toad.
"I would like to write a letter to someone special to me," said Naruto flushing bright red.
"Ok," said Fukasaku. 'He is just like his father.'
