Naruto looked around the mansion with an amazed expression. The Mansion had everything he could ask for.
Training Rooms? Yes. Dummies for Training? Yes. Automatic Seals? Yes.
He went from one place to another while Minato informed him of the story about the places and a few things that happened.
In the end, he went to Minato's and Kushina's room and saw a Portrait of Minato with a pregnant Kushina, and another portrait of Minato with Rin, Kakashi, and Obito, i.e. Team 7.
Then Naruto thought of something and created a Shadow Clone. He appeared inside his Mindscape and saw Minato with a nostalgic smile on his face. Thought he still had some guilt for his team and coming later.
"Fourth Hokage, Why don't you try taking over my Shadow Clone? Just like how a tailed beast can take over the host using Chakra."
Minato, who heard this thought about it. He already knew that he could come outside, like a Spirit Body, but he didn't tell Naruto as he didn't want anyone else to sense him.
He thought of this and said, "I will try and see if I can do it."
Naruto nodded and appeared outside, he then saw Minato appearing outside like a Spirit Body (Spirit Transformation Technique) and went into the clone. A moment later, Naruto felt his chakra leaving his body and a chakra thread appeared between Naruto and his clone. The thread is so thin that it could be neglected by anyone and Naruto only sensed it because it is his chakra.
Naruto's clone changed and now in that place, Minato appeared. Seeing this, a smile appeared on Naruto's face and it is the same for Naruto.
"With this, I can...." Minato said and then his expression became cold as he sensed all of his Hiraishin. By all, he meant the one he placed on the masked man, at the Night of Nine Tailes Demon Fox's attack.
"What happened?" Naruto asked as he sensed Minato's feelings. Hatred and anger were the most prominent among them, with excitement just below them.
"It's nothing. Now I will be able to finish the job I couldn't do before." Minato said with a smile and Naruto understood what he is talking about as he knew the only Person Minato would feel hatred to is the Masked Man, i.e. Obito.
"Naruto, give me the letter I wrote before. With me here, you don't need to read it." Minato said and hearing this, Naruto grinned and said, "Nope! I am going to read it."
Saying this, he ran outside the room, and seeing this, Minato shook his head but the smile on his face never left. He looked at Kushina and said, "Soon, we will be together. Be it in Pure Land or on Earth. Kushina, Our child has grown up much better than we had thought, and it's thanks to Kyuubi as I can see that he respects her. I am sure we would have never thought about this."
He went outside and saw Naruto reading the letter. Seeing this, he smiled and gave him the time, and instead of waiting around, he transformed himself into someone else and disappeared from the place.
...
Looking at the letters in front of him, Naruto felt various emotions, with excitement and happiness being the most prominent. Even though he knew what could be written in the letter, it is different when the words he knows are towards him.
Opening one letter, and reading the first few lines, he understood that it belonged to Kushina.
Dear Naruto,
Oh, my sweet little child, how I wish that I were alive to see you grow into a fine young man like your father. I'm writing this letter in case something happens to us and you are left alone. If you are reading this, it means that we are dead. We are so sorry for leaving you, baby.
First things first, I love you with all my heart, Naruto. A mother never stops loving her child, even in death. Know that I am still watching over you, and another thing; don't you dare visit me unless you are a hundred and ten years old! I want you to live a full and happy life and only die of old age.
Second, if you decide to become a shinobi, remember the three vices of shinobi life. First is alcohol, be responsible about it and don't become a drunk. Second is money, use it responsibly and try not to waste it. If you DO want to waste it, better do it on your wife. The third is women, and as your mother, I absolutely forbid you to become a pervert and a womanizer. Respect women and also, find a woman you love and want to spend your life with. Don't settle for anything less!
Once again, your father and I love you, no matter what. Remember that Naruto.
With love,
Kushina Uzumaki
P.S: Learn fuinjutsu. The Uzumaki's were known for it and your father mastered it as well. I have left ten volumes of fuinjutsu that I got from the Uzumaki archives, everything you need to become a master. Best of luck, baby!
...
After completing reading the letter, Naruto wiped the tears from his face and said sorry to Kushina mentally for one thing.
'I am sorry mother, but I don't think I will settle with one woman in my life. I am sure you will beat me in the future for this, and then a few years later, you will be happy when you will hold your grandchildren. Besides....'
Naruto stopped thinking about the matter regarding women, he had left in on fate, and his feelings in the future. Even though he said that he wants many women in the future, he won't be going after everyone, nor will he try to force on others.
He put the letter back into the seal and then picked the other one.
Dear Naruto,
If you are reading this letter, then it means that I'm no longer among the living. I desperately hope that your mother is with you, but if that is not the case, allow me to explain a few things to you.
My name is Minato Namikaze, and as you probably have guessed, the Yondaime Hokage. If you already know this, then you are probably in the academy. If not, it is good to read. Keep it up! If you did not know about my identity as your father before this letter, please don't be upset at Sandaime-sama. I left him specific instructions that you were to be told about my identity only if you were a chunin, or married. I made many enemies during the Third Great Shinobi War, especially from Iwa.
If people were to know about it, you would be a prime target for all my enemies.
I just want you to know that even If you are yet to be born, I love you with all my heart. It was the happiest day of my life when your mother announced that she was pregnant with you.
Since I was an orphan, I really don't have any special jutsu to give you. But what I have left, I hope you master them. The improved notes I made from scratch in my quest to learn and master Nidaime-sama's Hiraishin no jutsu are in the first kanji at the bottom of this letter. Also, I leave the Rasengan to you, in hopes that you can complete it, something that I never could. It is in the second kanji.
Your mother was Kushina Uzumaki and she was the loveliest and one of the most compassionate women I've ever met in my life. She is perhaps the only one who loves you more than I do.
I have left you another surprise in the basement of this house. Something of my own design and perhaps my greatest fuinjutsu achievement yet, other than mastering the Eight trigrams sealing style. Details are in the basement. Enjoy!
With all the love in the world,
Dad

"In shadows cast, a choice is made,
Drop the blood, a debt repaid.
Call the god, in whispers keen,
Live a life, where destinies convene.
Your people safe, in sheltered grace,
Yet for their lives, a sombre embrace.
Sacrificed for dreams anew,
A land untrod, a path pursued.
Ahead, a realm, uncharted, vast,
Only the price, in time, will last.
Upon this scroll, the words inscribed,
A tale of sacrifice, dreams described."
