There's been a matter I've been waitin' tae speak tae ya 'bout.
I've already told Temari o'my plans, an' I feel ya need tae know before hand.
I'm gunna finish up a few other things, an' in a few months, I'm gunna retire as the Kazekage.
The Council has been informed o'my decision an' even an explanation why.
It ain't 'cuz I'm havin' troubles, it's cuz o'my special circumstance aka Number One. That an' I dun feel I'll be the strongest for much longer, as ya have made an enormous progress an' have power under yer control that I do not.
Thus, I've recommended that the Council will look inta conciderin' makin' ya a Kage.
I know, it's a lot of responcibilities an' it'll change yer life completely, but from whut I've seen fo' the past year...
Ya've changed..an' that change is good.
Thus, I am lettin' ya know ahead'o'time so when 'ey approach ya, ya won't be so surprised.
I wholeheartedly believe yer gunna be fine.
There's somethin' else I've been needin' tae give ya an explanation...But it's more o'a history than anythin' else. Assumin' yer gunna take up on the offer, I know yer gunna find the files, yer father wanted tae destroy, but never had the chance. I kept 'em cuz I felt ya had the right to know. 14 years ago, it wus my sensei an' I who captured the demonic priest an' delivered 'im tae yer father tae be put in ya. That wus the reason yer father kept me near by - just in case ya proved tae be a failure. But I believe that under the circumstances ya've been in, the "experiment" wus a complete and utter success.
It wus also I, who advised yer father on this.... experiment. I dunno how tae explain it, but I feel like ya should know. Yer father wus very interested in whut I did, an' the power Number One supplied for me. He wanted tae create sumthin' that would dublicate an' take the demon tamin' tae a whole new level. As a shinobi under the Kazekage, I had no choice but comply.
I know, it is too late fo'an appology, an' I ain't gunna expect ya tae forget such a thing. I ain't gunna make excuses for myself, tellin' ya I couldn't say "no". I coulda, but unfortunately, I wus very much devoted tae yer father, an' I wus very young. I knew the consequences 'o'these actions, an' I warned yer father 'bout'em. I figured, if he wus so bent on makin' ya the way yer today, at least I coulda done everythin' in my power tae make sure ya made it.
Demons an' dealing with'em take a lot o'work. It ain't easy, unless 'ey're completely sealed, which I never knew how tae do. I believe my sensei did, but she's long dead an' at the time there wus no indication there wus any other way. It's a tricky thing tae do, but from whut I've seen, ya've done it. I've felt so much remorse for all that's happened tae ya, but I knew ya could make it. It ain't only yer pride, who yer today is MY pride also.
Yer a remarkable human bein' an' that is the reason why I've been strongly suggestin' to the Council tae concider ya tae be the next Kazekage. There ain't a single person out there who's stronger or wiser than yer today. I know, yer a bit young but I know ya can do it.
As far as a personal thing goes.
If ya feel raw 'bout whut happened 14 years ago, I will humbly accept yer demands, whutever 'ey may be.
One thing I ask o'ya is that ya give me time tae make sure this village does not fall into dissarray once I am gone. For whut it's worth..
I am very sorry.
I hope ya continue tae make as much progress as ya have so far. Over the course o'this year I've learned that despite everythin' yer family...an' the people o'this village...still care fo'ya very much. Me, bein' one'o'em.
