Naruto's days in this new world had been exciting, filled with adventures and new friends. However, today he woke up and did his morning routines as he went through his morning routine, a sudden discovery left him astonished. There, sitting in the corner of the room, was a bag filled with ninja equipment. Naruto's eyes widened, and his heart raced with a mixture of excitement and confusion.

He picked up the bag, his fingers trembling with anticipation. It was like a piece of his old world had miraculously found its way here. He carefully unzipped it and revealed the familiar tools - shuriken, kunai, ninja wire, and scrolls. He couldn't believe his eyes.

Naruto was so engrossed in examining these items that he failed to notice the subtle change around him. The room began to shift, as if reality itself was warping. He lay down on his bed with the ninja tools beside him, and before he knew it, he was transported into an ethereal space.

In this realm, he found himself standing before an imposing figure. It was a tall, wise-looking man with long, flowing hair and a gentle smile.

Naruto's eyes widened in recognition, and he whispered in awe, "Grandpa Sage?"

Hagoromo, the Sage of the Six Paths, nodded with a warm expression. "Indeed, Naruto. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Naruto's emotions were overwhelming. He rushed forward and embraced Hagoromo tightly, tears of joy in his eyes. "I can't believe I'm here with you, Grandpa Sage! How is this possible?"

Hagoromo chuckled, patting Naruto's head. "Your connection with Kurama has allowed me to find you in this new world. Everyone back in your world has been anxious about your disappearance, so I decided to find you myself."

Naruto wiped away his tears and looked at the sage with gratitude. "Thank you so much, Grandpa Sage. I've missed everyone back home too, but this world is different, and I've made new friends."

Hagoromo's eyes twinkled with understanding. "You've grown, Naruto, not just in strength but in spirit as well. I'm proud of the person you've become."

Naruto couldn't help but blush at the compliment. "Thanks, Grandpa Sage. But what should I do now? I've found my ninja tools from my world."

Hagoromo told that it was his present to him, then Naruto noticed Hagoromo's form was slowly fading from the ethereal space, and he felt a mix of emotions. It felt good meeting the legendary Sage of the Six Paths, but it was equally heart-wrenching to see him depart.

With a warm smile, Hagoromo spoke softly, "Remember, Naruto, there's a little surprise in the bag. Take a look when you wake up. It's something that will help you in this new world."

Naruto couldn't help but feel both excitement and curiosity at the prospect of a surprise. He nodded, trying to hold back tears. "I will, Grandpa Sage. Thank you for everything."

Hagoromo's form continued to dissipate, and Naruto's panic rose. "Wait, Grandpa Sage, don't go! Can't you stay a little longer?"

Hagoromo's voice reassured him, "I wish I could, Naruto, but I had to use a significant portion of my power to reach you. I need to return to the ninja world and inform everyone that you're safe. They've been worried about you."

Tears welled up in Naruto's eyes, and he reached out toward Hagoromo's fading presence. "Tell them I'm doing well, and I'll make them proud. I'll protect this world, my new friends, and my old world's memory."

As Hagoromo disappeared entirely, Naruto felt a mix of emotions. Relief that he had met the sage, sadness that their meeting was brief, and determination to carry on his legacy. He wiped his tears away and took a deep breath.

In the stillness of the room, Naruto felt a comforting presence, and he turned to see Kurama, the Nine-Tails, watching him. Naruto's eyes widened in realization. "Kurama, you were here the whole time. Why didn't you speak to Hagoromo?"

Kurama's eyes softened as he looked at Naruto. "I didn't need to, kid. Just seeing Hagoromo again after all these years was enough. And besides, I know you were the one who needed to talk to him."

Naruto's heart swelled with warmth. "Thanks, Kurama. I'm lucky to have you with me."

Kurama's tails flicked contentedly. "Now, let's see what's in that bag of yours. Hagoromo mentioned a surprise, didn't he?"

Naruto snapped back to reality, his curiosity piqued. He eagerly reached for the bag of ninja tools and opened it. As he rummaged through its contents, he found something tucked away in a small compartment, wrapped in a cloth.

He carefully unwrapped the cloth to reveal a small, intricately carved wooden statue. Naruto's eyes widened as he examined the beautiful craftsmanship. The statue depicted an older Hagoromo, his eyes filled with wisdom and kindness.

Kurama observed Naruto's fascination with the statue. "That's a totem, kid. It's imbued with some of Hagoromo's chakra. It might come in handy someday."

Naruto held the totem close to his heart. "I'll treasure it always. It's like having a piece of Grandpa Sage with me." Naruto then noticed two scrolls red and yellow his heart swelled with emotion as he uncovered the treasures from the bag. His father's yellow scrolls contained jutsus and knowledge that Naruto had only dreamt of learning. The teleportation jutsu that his father had mastered, the complex sealing techniques that only a few had ever understood - they were now within Naruto's reach.

He gingerly picked up one of the scrolls and unrolled it, feeling a sense of pride and belonging. "Dad," he whispered with a wistful smile, "I'll make you proud by mastering these jutsus."

Naruto then turned his attention to the red scrolls, which were filled with his mother's ninja tools. Her swords, kunai, shuriken, and ninja wires were like a connection to the mother he had never met. It was a bittersweet moment, knowing that he had something that once belonged to her.

As he explored further, Naruto found a collection of Uzumaki sealing books, from beginner's guides to advanced techniques. His mother's heritage, the Uzumaki clan, had been known for their extraordinary sealing skills. Naruto felt a deep connection to his roots and knew he had an incredible legacy to explore.

Among these treasures, he discovered a unique bracelet. The moment he laid eyes on it, he knew it was special. The bracelet's design was elegant, and it seemed to resonate with chakra. When he read the accompanying note, he realized it was a gift from his mother, Kushina Uzumaki. The bracelet had the remarkable ability to store chakra limitlessly.

Naruto's eyes shimmered with a mixture of tears and joy. He delicately placed the bracelet on his wrist and felt the warmth and comfort it provided. It was as if his mother's love and strength now encircled him.

With the bag of his parents' cherished possessions safely stored in one of the scrolls, Naruto felt a renewed sense of purpose. He was determined to carry on their legacy, learning his father's jutsus and mastering his mother's tools. And the bracelet, an emblem of his mother's love, would be a constant reminder of who he was and where he came from.

After securing the bag, Naruto headed downstairs to join Kim Dokja and his companions in the dining room. The treasures he had found had filled his heart with emotions, but he was ready to share this day with his newfound friends, who had become like a family to him in this strange, new world.
