The Third Uzukage by Dark-Nate18

Chapter 5: Truth

Naruto felt his heart sore, his grandfather had a hand in his hair, he was pulling on the strands with a sad smile on his face as Naruto poured his eyes out, he went through a brief bought of hysteria, laughing at the thought of not being alone, to belonging. His grandfather just sat there with a sad smile. Naruto didn't know how much time had passed, or how long he was asleep for but when he shivered awake, his grandfather just gave him a wide smile.

"Good morning Naruto-kun" chuckled Daisuke, Naruto coughed slightly, his voice hoarse from crying.

"S...sorry about that" chuckled Naruto, a blush dusting his cheeks, Daisuke gave a smile and stood with a groan

"It's okay Naruto, but where is your father, and who is your father" asked Daisuke, Naruto scowled slightly and raised an eyebrow

"But...if you are here then why didn't you go to Konoha to see" asked Naruto, his mind whirring as he tried to piece together the puzzle, he watched as Daisuke's face grew sombre.

"I am dead Naruto-kun" said Daisuke, Naruto was on his feet in a matter of seconds, a finger shaking as he pointed

"But...then how are you here" yelled Naruto, Daisuke raised an eyebrow, but sighed and moved to sit back down, Naruto watched with a bated breath, his body screaming for him to run, perhaps his grandfather was a ghost, but the bruise reminding him of his grandfathers fingers that were pressed around his throat stopped that current thought

"I am constructed from your flames, I should have thought of that before I attacked but, when the war came, I hid my real blade here in this safe house, I placed a special seal here, one known by few which would bring a part of my soul here, and using a similar power to that of my own, I would be able to come back. But only for long enough to help whoever was able to activate the seal" said Daisuke with a sigh, Naruto stood confused; his eyes squinted as he attempted to think.

"So you are dead, but you are alive at the same time" asked Naruto, confusion heavy on his tone. Daisuke sighed slightly

"Indeed, that is the bare bones of it I suppose" said Daisuke, he watched as Naruto pouted with squinted eyes

"I don't get it" said Naruto simply, Daisuke gave a sigh and motioned for Naruto to sit.

"I suppose I should start from the beginning, I was born with a very dangerous bloodline, many people have multiple elements, but is how the body and chakra system mix the chakra that creates the bloodline, my two natural elements are fire and wind nature, but instead of becoming a white fire that many jonin's use when mixing the two chakra natures, my chakra nature became blue fire, a very strong fire that consumes all, I grew up as the next clan head of the Uzumaki's and with a new bloodline to add to the clan, I was forced to become a ninja, when I was a jonin I met a lovely women by the name of Miyoki Uzumaki, she was the same age as me, and was a member of a different team, I had never met her before, she was shy, but she was strong, we began dating, and I was voted for the third Uzukage, we got closer, and we married. I don't know why I had never met her before, or noticed her; she told me she always watched me from afar. I was happy; it was part of Uzu tradition; in that the newly elected Uzukage would face off against the previous Uzukage. It was a way of emphasising the passing of the torch, I remember the jeers, I was not as bulky as Kirozi-sama, but I smashed him into the ground." Said Daisuke, Naruto sat with wide eyes as his grandfather regaled him in the tale, he saw the image of the second Uzukage flash across, his large rippling muscles, the large sword, his eyes drifted to Daisuke, his boyish smile, his easy going eyes, and lithe figure. He shivered at how powerful his grandfather must be.

"B...but where were you" asked Naruto in a whisper, Daisuke looked at Naruto with sharp eyes, Naruto winced at the look, it held promises of questions, questions Naruto didn't feel he was strong enough to answer.
