After Naruto was done training with Sasuke, he left for home so he could read his mother's letter for him. He was now seated on his couch with his five scrolls and letter laid down on the table.

Naruto first looked at the letter for 5 minutes, anxious about knowing the contents of the letter, but he soon found his courage and looked at it and tried to open it but to no avail. He looked at the back of the letter and saw a note that said,'Smear some blood on the seal', and Naruto did just that. He opened the letter and started reading it. 'Dear Naruto'

If you're reading this, then my secrets, my love, and my story have finally reached you. I've always wanted to be there for you, to see you grow, to help you find strength in the world and teach you everything I've learned. Though I couldn't stay with you in person, I'm with you in every way I could manage.

I want you to know that I'm so proud of you. I carried you in my heart, even when I knew my time was short. I dreamed of the person you'd become, the strength you'd find, and the courage you'd show, and I see now that you are everything I ever hoped for and more. I always wanted you to live with a heart full of joy, kindness, and resilience, to find friends who would support you, and maybe, one day, to find someone you love as much as I loved your father.

I also want to share a few things I was taught about the life of a shinobi, things I hope will keep you safe. There are three prohibitions that every ninja must remember: stay away from money, avoid alcohol, and beware of women. Money can cloud judgment and lead you down paths you may regret. Alcohol can dull the senses and make you vulnerable, leaving you open to the world's dangers. And about women, well – love is a wonderful thing, but it can bring its own challenges. Find someone who makes you happy, someone who encourages you to be yourself, and never lets you forget your worth.

Along with this letter, there were 4 scrolls, which are your birthright. I hope that you'll take on kenjutsu and fuinjutsu and become the best that ever was and surpass your father and I. The black scroll contains my sword, the Crimson Tempest. That sword was one of the many swords forged in Uzushiogakure, our homeland. It is the reason why I was feared in the Elemental Nations and became known as the Red Hot Habenero. I was the strongest kenjutsu user of my time, but unfortunately, I couldn't master our kenjutsu style as I couldn't reach the Flow State but I know that you are going to do it and become better than me. The gold scroll contains the history of Uzushiogakure, our clan, and a map to where it is. But be careful if you want to go there since there are strong whirlpools surrounding the island and guardians to protect our home. Those guardians are also our summons and serve only the royal blood of Uzushiogakure. Yes, Naruto, I was royalty in Uzushiogakure and was going to be the next Uzukage, but now that can't happen. Please go to our homeland once you are strong enough and take the sword of the clan head, the Abyssal Tide, and prove your worth to the guardians. Once you have taken the sword, a symbol will appear on your wrist, which looks like a dragon eating it's tail, showing that the Uzumaki heir is alive and all surviving Uzumaki will also bear the mark and know that the heir is alive. The blue scroll is the kenjutsu style of the Uzumaki clan, the Water Dragon's Dance. It was a fierce and ancient kenjutsu style that our clan was taught by our summons and made them feared for generations. It works best if you have the water element as your affinity and have a flexible body. It also contains the Uzumaki taijutsu style, the Seismic Wave Fist, a powerful taijutsu style that focuses on raw power, resilience, and chakra-enhanced physical strikes. It was created by our ancestor, Ashina Uzumaki, the first Uzumaki but you'll find more information on it in the scroll. The red scroll contains all the jutsu I knew, and I had quite a repertoire of water ninjutsu. There might also be a few genjutsu that I could do but that was B-rank above since I didn't have the necessary chakra control needed to do C-rank genjutsu.It also has 20 volumes of fuinjutsu. I know that there is 10 volumes and once you reach level 10, you are considered a seal master but what they don't know is that there are actually 20 levels and a level 2 Uzumaki is a level 1. Oh, I almost forgot. In the gold scroll, there is also a letter that explains who I really am since you might have awakened your doujutsu.
