Naruto. I heard what happened to Master Jiraiya.
[wiping his tears] All I ever wanted was for him to keep watching over me. I wanted him to see me become Hokage. But I only showed him the worst most uncool side of me. I'm still so-
Listen to me. All Jiraiya ever had was praise for you. He kept saying that you were like his own grandchild. It's true. He had faith that you were the man who'd inherited his will.

No matter where he is I know that he wouldn't be happy to see you this upset and sad. Naruto, just go back to being the you that he praised so highly. Cheer up, for you are the distinguished student as one of the legendary Sannin, acknowledged by the great Jiraiya himself.
Thanks, Iruka-sensei.
