You woke up early, ready to start your morning jog. You made yourself breakfast and left over some for Naruto to eat. Walking towards the door you noticed how there was six envelopes on the floor.

"When you are missing me (1)"
"When you feel lost and alone (2)"
"When it's your birthday (3)"
"When [Name] gets married."
"When Naruto gets married."
"Why I Love You. (4)"

You picked up all the envelopes and read their titles, you noticed a familiar stamp — a toad. Smiling you knew they were from Jiraiya, he always had a tendency to leave letters once and a while but today he left many. You viewed Jiraiya as your father figure, though he was always very perverted and idiotic with Naruto, he wasn't like that at all with you.

"Pervy-Sage.. Can we please go back home, I miss Konoha." A 13 year old you whined. Jiraiya was writing his literature and letters, "Jiraiya!"

The Sannin looked your direction, "Yes, [Name]?"

"How many girlfriends have you had? I never had my first kiss or boyfriend. I have an admirer though, his name is Lee." You said innocently, recalling how Rock Lee took a big interest in you.

"I've never had a girlfriend, I continue waiting for the special someone to come. I want to be extremely sure that I love them, so I won't hurt them." Jiraiya said, making you tilt your head in confusion. "How about Tsunade?"

Jiraiya laughed out loud, "you're funny, [Name]."

"But in all seriousness. Don't rush finding the love of your life, or finding someone to share your first kiss to. Love will come your way, never search for it. And when you find someone, make sure you love them. Make sure you are willing to spend your whole life with them."

Jiraiya ruffled your red hair, and gave you a heart filled smile, "A place where someone still thinks about you is a place you can call home."

Smiling at the memory, you walked towards your room and stored those letters in a safe drawer, and made your way towards Tsunade's office. Haruka insisted that you go to Mount Ryū to begin your Sage Mode training.

Before you could even enter Tsunade's office you saw Shizune frantically walking back and forth, she looked extremely distressed. "-oh! [Name]. You're here." She said, noticing your presence. "Yes! Is Granny Tsunade and Haru here?" You asked, and she nodded.

When you walked in you see Haruka and Tsunade looking outside the window, "[Name]. I'm glad you're here." Haruka said in a serious tone, "We must evacuate Konoha immediately."

Tsunade looked at her in shock, "You're not leaving, [Name]. You and Naruto must stay in Konoha at all costs."

"You're being ridiculous Tsunade! I have to take the twins, do you want them to die under the hands of the Akatsuki?!" Haruka yelled back.

You sighed hearing them bicker, "I'M NOT STUPID, YA KNOW!" You yelled, "-and neither am I weak. Haruka-Sensei, please understand that I can fend for myself and Naruto!"

Tsunade pointed her finger towards me, "Do you see my point! Naruto and [Name] are strong they're not little kids!"

Shizune barged into the room, "Lady Tsunade! This is urgent news. Please, listen." She said, looking at us with sad eyes, and her eyebrows furrowed. "What's wrong, Shizune?"

Shizune handed similar style envelopes that Jiraiya gave you and Naruto. Tsunade opened the letter her eyes wide open, reading over and over. "This can't be true. This can't!" Tsunade muttered, slapping the letter on her desk, Haruka grabbed the letter and also read what it contained.

"N-No... Jiraiya.." Haruka muttered.

You rolled your eyes and crossed your arms, "What is this all about? Give me the letter!" You snapped, wanting to see what silly thing Jiraiya sent Tsunade. Grabbing the letter from Haruka you instantly noticed Jiraiya's sloppy handwriting.

"If You've received this. I'm long gone..
9 , 31 , 8
106 , 7
207 , 15"

Scrambling the paper, you threw it on Tsunade's desk. "Don't believe Jiraiya! He's just being silly like always!" You said, in complete denial. "What do those numbers mean?" You asked, your eyebrows furrowing.

Naruto started banging on the door, "Tsunade! Tsunade!" He yelled, his voice completely distraught and hurt.  He opened the door and looked at you with his blue eyes, filled with tears.

"He died. He's gone!" Naruto yelled, "Fukasaku told me everything. It was Pain!" Naruto said, his hands clutching. "Fukasaku is waiting back home. [Name], lets go." He said, forcefully grabbing your hand. "N-Naruto!"

Naruto cried as he was laid out on the floor, you rubbing his back and begged him to stop. "Please... Naruto, don't cry.. Jiraiya wouldn't want us crying."

Fukasaku sighed seeing the sight and began leaping his way and hopped on your shoulder, "Naruto Boy will grief his death .. [Name].. Prepare yourself for pain, there will soon be a storm coming." He said, "Don't cry, Naruto Boy. Be stronger."

"The real is not among them. You my children, are prophecies." Fukasaku said, "A Red Thread of Fate and the Child of Prophecy."

With that, Fukasaku disappeared and left one final message. "I can't... believe this. Naruto, brother. Jiraiya left these letters for us... For a reason." You said walking your way to your room and gathered the letters he wrote.

"Fukasaku told me he was summoned to drop some letters off.. I didn't know where they were.." Naruto said sadly.

You sat next to Naruto and took out envelope one, "When you are missing me."

"Why did he have to die..!" Naruto yelled, crying even harder. "I can't believe this!"

Your heart ached seeing your brother cry, "Naruto.. listen to what Pervy-Sage left us.." you said, tearing up as you read his letter.

"My Uzumaki kids. It's Jiraiya writing.. I'm sorry for leaving you. Please look after Tsunade for me, protect our precious Konohagakure from Pain and destruction. Your father entrusted me with you two, I hope I fulfilled his last wish. My last wishes are for my beautiful goddaughter to become the strongest Kunoichi through all the Lands. For the knucklehead ninja Naruto to become Hokage. I love you too dearly, I'm sorry for leaving you. Think of all I've taught you and put it to good use, I'm with you anywhere you are."

Your tears slipped out from your dark blue eyes, "Jiraiya...!"

You stood up and wiped your tears away, "Naruto. We must protect Konoha! The Akatsuki are going to invade it any second. I know, because Haruka and Tsunade were arguing about it earlier." You said, grabbing Naruto's hand.

"Let's train."

"This is the Flying Thunder God seal." You said, marking it on Naruto's body. "If you ever need me by your side in an instant, this jutsu will alert me immediately." You explained.

"Oh that's cool, believe it!" Naruto said, "I'll get into sage mode."

You chuckled, "And I'll get into Nine Tails Chakra mode."

"You ready, Kurama?!" You thought.
"More than ever, kiddo."
