o Naruto..
Dono t be picky.. Eat lots and grow strong..
Make sure that you bathe every day and stay warm..
Also.. Dono t stay up late.. You need lots of sleep..
And make friends.. You dono t need a lot of friends..
Just a few.. Ones you can really, really trust..
I wasno t very good at it, but keep up with your studies and practice your ninjutsu hard..
Remember that everyone has strengths and weaknesses..
So dono t get too depressed if you cano t do something well..
Respect your teachers and upperclassmen at the Academy..
Oh, and this is important.. Ito s about the Three Prohibitions for a shinobi..
Be extra careful about lending and borrowing money..
Put your mission wages into your savings account..
No alcohol until youo re twenty.. Too much can ruin your health, so drink in moderation..
Another Prohibition is women..
Io m a woman, so I dono t know too much about this but..
All you need to remember is that this world is made up of men and women..
So ito s only natural to take an interest in girls..
But just dono t get hooked on bad women.. Find someone just like me..
Speaking of the Three Prohibitions, be wary of Jiraiya Sensei, you know..
Naruto, from now on, youo re going to face lots of pain and hardship..
Be true to yourself.. Have a dream and have the confidence to make that dream come true..
Thereo s so much.. Oh, so much more that I want to pass on to you.. I wish I could stay with you longer..
I love youo
o Kushina Uzumaki
