Minato: Happy Birthday.
You’ve really become amazing, Naruto.
Naruto: …… Heh Thanks.
Minato: We exist on a different plane. We cannot remain here forever. Farewell.
I’ll make sure to tell Kushina everything…
Naruto: Tell her I’m eating well and that everything’s okay! I’m not picky either; if it’s on the plate, I eat it! Tonkotsu, Miso and Shoyu… Oh! It’s not like I only eat ramen though!
I’m also taking a bath… basically every day! I even go to the hot springs sometimes! Even though everyone tells me I barely even spend enough time in there to get my feet wet!
And uh, er… I’ve made a bunch of friends! They’re all awesome!
And even though my grades totally suck, I don’t get depressed over it or anything… I guess that’s because I’m always just oozing so much confidence!
But, of course, I’ve been listening to what the 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] and Kakashi-sensei tell me! Coz I respect them! He’s here so I guess you can ask him yourself!
Also, about the three ninja taboos! I learned a lot when I was with the Pervy Sage! He sucked at avoiding those three things but I still think he’s super cool and I respect him more than any other ninja! You know, I…
Today I just turned 17 so I don’t really know anything about women or booze! But Mom told me to find a woman just like her, and… uh, er, well…
Anyway! I haven’t done everything she told me to do, but….! But I’ve really been trying hard to do it all!
I have dreams and stuff too! I’m gonna become a Hokage just like you, Dad! I promise you I will!
Make sure to tell Mom, when you get there… Tell her that she doesn’t need to worry about me!
I’m doing my best!
Minato: Got it. I’ll be sure to tell her everything.
