Where He Loved Him

Konohamaru cried when his grandfather died. He cried because his chance to be Hokage died with him. He hadn't said anything when his grandfather had smiled and patted his knee, his pipe clenched between his teeth. He hadn't said anything because he knew that at least that way he had a better chance that Naruto did at being Hokage. Because his grandfather did touch Naruto like he touched him. Which meant that Naruto wasn't going to be Hokage. Until his grandfather died. So when he walked up to his grandfather's body, he laid a small hand on the place where his grandfather used to love him. He never realized why his family thought it was so wrong.
