Naruto: Prince of the Underworld

Chapter 19 Truths and the Bolt

"Wait...who?" Annabeth asked Percy in an octave above a whisper.

"Oh the man Naruto talked very highly about." Grover commented.

"Yeah, the old man that Naruto basically considered his grandfather in all but blood and then died at the hands of some guy Naruto hates. Orochimaru or something like that." Percy stated.

"O-old man, what are you doing here!"Naruto asked loudly.

Sarutobi chuckled and said, "I work here Naruto-kun. I patrol this place with the ghouls, though they are not that talkative." He paused at their shocked looks. "Don't worry, I know why you are here and I am not here to stop you."

"Then why are you here, if I may ask." Annabeth cut in.

"To let Naruto in on a little truth." The former Third Hokage replied. "Now, I guess I should start with the sealing of the Kyuubi. When your father came to the Elemental Countries, He left behind a lot of his God like power. That did not stop him from becoming the most powerful in the land, especially with the Flying Thunder God jutsu that he created."

Naruto nodded, seeing that his father would have a unfair advantage if he used his god powers. The old man continued. "So when the Kyuubi did attack, he was at a major disadvantage. So, he created a sealing jutsu called the Death Reaper Seal that gave him back his power, but it would kill off his human persona and send him back to this world. Now, when I used that technique on Orochimaru's arms and the First and Second Hokages, I did not gain his powers, I just summoned your father to our world and he helped me out, but I did because that jutsu was meant to kill the person using it."

"Ok...so how did you get here though?" Grover asked.

"Oh, once I was a spirit, Minato, or as you call him Hades, told me the truth and asked if I could help him back in his world. I agreed and he took me before our world's Shinigami arrived, only, I realized soon after, I only knew two people on this side. Your father and your mother."

"WHAT?" shouted Naruto. "My mom is alive?"

"Yes, but I am iffy on the details on how she is, you will have ask you father about it yourself."

"Alright then, but what do you mean you only know two people here?" asked Naruto.

"There are two afterlives, this one and ours back home, but since Minato and the Shinigami are good friends, I am able to see my wife sometimes." Sarutobi said with a sad smile. "But enough about me, you all should get going. You do have a mission to complete after all."

As the old man turned to leave, Naruto called out, "Wait! Will I ever be able to see you again?"

"Of course Naruto, you are after all the Prince of the Underworld." The old man chuckled.

"The what?"

"You are the first born, so that makes you this place's Prince." Sarutobi replied cryptically as he walked away, but then stopped and looked Naruto dead in the eye. "Good Luck Naruto, I know the Will of Fire burns brightly with in you." With that, the old man just disappeared from view.

"I wonder what he meant my first born." Annabeth pondered.

"Me too, but I am more interested in this Will of Fire." Grover commented.

As they begun to walk again, Naruto decided to enlighten them. "It is just the saying the ninja of our village say. I will is strongest in the ninja lands as we are the strongest village in the Elemental Countries."

"Sweet!" Percy chirped. When they rounded a corner, the four of them stopped to gawk at the Fields of Asphodel.

Imagine the largest concert crowd you've ever seen, a football field packed with a million fans.
