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.
"When your mother was about eleven, I got word of two armies worth of ninja being sent to the village, in an attempt to wipe out my clan, we were renowned for our skills in fuuinjutsu you see" said Daisuke before Naruto cut him off.
"Yeah, I can see why" grumbled Naruto with a pout, Daisuke gave a lilting laugh.
"Yes indeed, even at the age of ten your mother was more skilled than even her mother. But, Kushina-chan's mother passed away when she was very young, and I had received a request from Mito Uzumaki herself" said Daisuke, Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"Mito Uzumaki?" asked Naruto, his head cocking to the side in confusion, Daisuke stood with fury in his eyes.
"You come from Konoha and you don't know who Mito Uzumaki is, what has Hiruzen been doing, you're an Uzumaki, you should know this" yelled Daisuke in fury, Naruto blinked slightly, his eyes pricking with the want to cry, it was irrational, but years of trying to appease the villagers, meant he hated making anyone angry
"S...Sorry" whispered Naruto, Daisuke calmed almost instantly, he sighed and squeezed the bridge of his nose with his fingers, his eyes glancing at the totally different Naruto who had yelled and attempted to fight him.
"I am sorry Naruto-kun, but why don't you know any of this, this is important Konoha history, and important history to you" said Daisuke, his voice grew softer as he calmed down.
"I don't know, I was never taught it at the academy, im pretty sure nobody has any idea who Mito Uzumaki is" said Naruto, Daisuke scowled as a finger hooked beneath his jaw.
"Why are you hiding it Hiruzen" thought Daisuke, he looked at Naruto who had calmed down from his depressive drop, and was looking expectantly.
"What did Mito Uzumaki ask for" asked Naruto, Daisuke sighed.
"I suppose it cannot be helped" he mumbled, Naruto raised an eyebrow, but sat patiently "Your mother did not follow on my bloodline, not exactly anyway, instead of having the destructive force of the flames, she gained a different ability, her chakra instead formed chakra chains, they were the same azure blue, and I could say her ability was something frightening all together, she could manipulate people through her chakra chains, I was saddened that my fire was not passed down, but then I thought, perhaps the bloodline would change for each generation, her chakra chains were dangerous, she could hold me down, when she was only ten. Mito and Hiruzen, they grew interested, Mito was becoming old and frail, she could no longer hold back the nine tails, she was the oldest of us Uzumaki's, she was proof of our longevity." Said Daisuke, Naruto was shaking his head in sadness slightly.
"My...my mother was to become the next container" whispered Naruto, Daisuke couldn't help the sad look that graced his face.
"I didn't want that life for my daughter, she was so happy, the life of a Jinchuuriki is hard, and for the nine tails it's even harder. But they provided me with a way to save my daughter from the war that was soon to hit Uzu" said Daisuke softly, Naruto stood with a glare on his face
"So the leaf village just used her, just because they didn't want to lose the nine tails" yelled Naruto, Daisuke sighed.
"I don't know, Mito wanted to keep it in the Uzumaki clan" said Daisuke, Naruto growled under his breath
"But that doesn't give her the right to just uproot someone, just for them to become a container" growled Naruto, Daisuke nodded.
"But your mother was best equipped, her chakra chains would no doubt hold the nine tails back, but, if she died then where is the nine tails now" asked Daisuke, Naruto winced slightly and rubbed his stomach
"It's, sealed in me" whispered Naruto, he felt two arms wrap around him, and a cheek pressed into the crown on his head.
"Where is your father Naruto, if he is still alive, I want him dead. A lonely life is not good for a Jinchuuriki" said Daisuke, Naruto shivered at the dark tone that tinted his grandfather voice.
"He died" whispered Naruto, he felt a pang in his heart, he didn't really know his parents, but, just knowing who they were, he missed them terribly.
"Who was he Naruto" asked Daisuke forcefully, Naruto winced slightly.
"Minato Namikaze, The fourth Hokage, I think" said Naruto, Daisuke sighed slightly, and with a pat he pulled away from Naruto, who was clearly unsure of what to do with the contact.
"I am sorry Naruto, if I had been stronger, if I had survived the war..."said Daisuke, Naruto shook his head
"No, I am happy" said Naruto, but Daisuke cut him off with a frown
"No you are not Naruto, I can see it, Hiruzen has lost control, not what I would expect from my old friend" said Daisuke, Naruto shook his head frantically.
"The old man tried, but he couldn't stop everyone. He has grown old, and he had to become the hokage again" said Naruto, Daisuke chuckled and patted Naruto's shoulder
"You underestimate my old friend Hiruzen Sarutobi" said Daisuke, Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"How do you know the old man" asked Naruto, Daisuke broke into a face splitting grin.
"He must be losing it if he allows you to call him that" said Daisuke, Naruto smirked slightly, Daisuke stood with a stretch, Naruto followed suit, they both stood in the large dome, the katana was rotating slowly in the light.
"So what happens now" asked Naruto quietly "How long are you here for" asked Naruto sadly.
"When you leave the building, the flames will die out, and then I will be extinguished with the other flames, the flames will reignite when you come back, but I am afraid I cannot, this is a onetime thing for me" said Daisuke, Naruto felt tears pool in the corners of his eyes.
"B...but...I have only just met you" cried Naruto, Daisuke just smiled sadly.
"Naruto, I can train you until you need to leave, I plan to train you in as much as possible. So what use is crying, it is only going to waste our time together" said Daisuke, Naruto wiped his eyes with his overly large sleeve, nodding slightly.
"What are you going to teach me, are you going to teach me how to use a sword" asked Naruto, Daisuke shook his head.
"Not yet, I am going to teach you how to use two swords, granted they are only tanto's but still, combined they are dangerous, we, the Uzumaki clan only made three of these blades, two were for me, one was for Sakumo Hatake of the leaf, they are extremely durable, and if wielded like Sakumo and I could you can become extremely strong, this means until you are able to handle the single Katana, the dual chakra sabres will be your tools" said Daisuke, Naruto frowned slightly, his mind conjuring up images of a chibi Naruto fumbling with two swords, yet holding one sword he seemed much happier.
"But doesn't that not make sense, surely it would be easier for me to learn using just one sword than two" said Naruto, Daisuke gave a chuckle and summoned his fake katana from the blue flames.
"Not necessarily, you see, your flames needs to be trained differently to your chakra, your flames cannot just be forced into control, you have to train chakra before you can do larger jutsu, with the flames it's the opposite, you have to use larger moves, and then control them. The chakra sabres will help control the flames, but If you were to simply grasp Kimiko, which is my blade, it would kill you, its moves are based upon minimal flames, but strong attacks" said Daisuke, Naruto remembered the wall of blades that surrounded him, the barrage of slashes from a single reveal of the blade.
"So what your saying is, to do that move you did, with all the slashes, I need to control my flames to the point that I can do the smallest attack" said Naruto, Daisuke nodded seriously,
"It's strange I know, but I remember the day I created flame senbon, the smallest weapon constructed of flames, which is the ultimate of achievements" said Daisuke, Naruto frowned slightly, his face looking slightly angry
"it sounds like a lot of work, but I am going to do it, I need to become hokage, to protect the old man and Iruka-nii-san, and make my family proud Dattebayo!" said Naruto as he stood with a smile, Daisuke frowned but nodded with a small smile.
