So there are going to be some very mature scenes later on, though there are none right now! I hope you enjoy it!

Prologue

In the Land of Fire, there is several things within the countryside that humans would find surprising. Animals in which they have never seen before, lands that they have passed through, yet they have never seen. Amongst these is the land of Konah. There are beings that live in Konah that closely resemble and act like humans, yet they are far from it.

Within Konah, there are two factions, The Fox Clan, and the Wolf Clan. These two clans have a hatred for one another. Even though neither side can remember what it was that caused the feud, the hatred carries on through the generations. Even now the hatred is still strong. The only hope now is the next generation.

Fox Clan

"Lord Minato, it's a boy." A voice spoke into the silent room.

"Yes! I totally won!" the man called Minato jumped up and shouted, with his fist in the air. Looking around sheepishly, "Err, I mean is Kushina ok?"

"Why don't you come and see for yourself, my Lord." The doctor replied with a smile. The beings that inhabits of this land would just see a smile, but humans they would see something entirely different. Pronounced canines, red ears covered in fur on top of the doctor's head, and a tail, that seems entirely impossible.

"My Lord, I should warn you." The doctor paused.

"Well, what is it?" Minato asked, wanting to see his son, and wife.

"Your son, he has nine tails, sir." The doctor replied quickly.

"Oh, really? Nine?" Minato stood in shock. His son was the one prophesized? Minato shrugged and continued to the birthing chamber where his family awaited him. Not a care in this world, let alone some silly prophesy was going to ruin this amazing day.

Meanwhile

Wolf Clan

"Lord Uchiha, it's a boy." The doctor said quietly.

Lord Uchiha stood and walked over to the doctor, who paled slightly. Everyone had heard the rumors about the Lord, and were terrified.

"Does she know? She was hoping for a girl this time." Sighing he ran a hand of his face. Feeling something touch his other hand he looked down to see his first son, Itachi, who about ten.

"Yes my lord, she is quiet ecstatic, considering." The doctor replied.

"Considering what exactly?" Lord Uchiha said with a growl. He hated to be lead on.

"Y-your son sir. He has the mark of the Fox." The doctor replied quickly.

Lord Uchiha growled, his ears lying flat on his head. Grabbing the doctor, he slammed him against the wall, hand on his throat.

"What did you say?" He asked menacingly

"Y-your, s-son, h-has t-t-the mark of the f-fox." The doctor gasped out.

"Father?" Itachi asked confused about what was happening.

"You will tell no one what you saw today. You will inform everyone that the babe died during the birth. I'll be damned if I will allow my son to be those mangy foxes property. Do you understand?" Lord Uchiha said with a growl, tightening his grip. The doctor nodded quickly, his face turning purple due to lack of oxygen.

Lord Uchiha let go. Grabbing Itachi's hand he headed into the birthing chamber, all the while asking himself how this could possibly happen.

Meanwhile

Land of Fire

"I am not crazy!" The young child shouted vigorously.

"Dediera, no one said you were crazy," a white haired man replied. "It's just no one has seen Konah in hundreds of years. No one ventures to the countryside anymore. You have to be sure."

"I'm telling you I saw it!" Dediera shouted again. "Uncle Kakashi, one-minute I was walking through the grass, the next I was standing by a waterfall."

Kakashi looked at the young boy. Could it really be? Did Konah finally reveal itself again. Only a handful of people even knew of its existence, and for good reason. There were those who would exploit such a beautiful place, and beings that lived in it, without a second thought. Kakashi thought of Orochimaru, who was such one.

"Alright, let's go tell the hokage, she will want to know this."

Chapter One

Fox Clan

Naruto stretched, his tails curling around him. He hadn't meant to fall asleep, but he could never resist a nap in his hiding place. It was the only time he could find peace. It wouldn't be so bad back at the village, but either he was treated like the plague, or his was picked on for his coloring and his tails. It wasn't his fault he had the most tails, foxes only had up to three tails, and he had six more than that. This was the only place he could be happy.

Naruto's ears twitched at the sound of a twig snapping. Sniffing the air, he growled, and his ears went down. Looking around he decided to hide in a tree.

"Itachi, why are we here?" a small voice asked quietly.

"Because it is your tenth birthday, and I'll be damned if you are going to spend it in the house again. Also I couldn't be seen around the village with you, remember?" Itachi replied to his younger brother.

"Is it because of this weird mark, and my coloring? I mean I have never seen another wolf that has these red markings, or the orange mixed in his fur." The voice answered almost even quieter.

"Yes, Sasuke. Those markings are a big thing. You see it was prophesized that the one born with those exact marks is destined to bring the Fox and Wolf clan together for all eternity. You are very lucky; your destiny will be written down in history forever." Itachi replied honestly. He loves his little brother more than anything, and he hated how he was treated. No one in his village knew of his existence. "But you see, the only way that can happen is if a fox was born with nine tails, which we have heard of no such thing."

Itachi looked down at his little brother. Yes, he thought to himself, Sasuke was destined for great things. If only his father would understand that, instead of keeping him hidden all his life. A gust of wind blew around them, carrying the scent of the hidden Naruto.

Naruto gulped. There was no way he would be able to take on two wolves by himself. Let alone the older one. He was only ten for Christ sake. He hid patiently, knowing that this was how it was going to end.

"You might as well come out, little fox." Itachi said kindly. He himself never understood why there was so much hatred between their clans. The only thing they seemed to agree on, was their hatred for humans.

Naruto sighed, it wasn't like he had any choice at this point. Jumping out of the tree he was hiding in, he landed a few feet away from the wolves.

"You shouldn't be here." Naruto spoke quickly. Itachi raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, really?" He asked teasingly.

"No, the fox patrol will be coming around soon, if you get caught I don't think it will end well." Naruto answered, not sensing the teasing tone. His father told him never to judge those, be they fox, or wolf. Everyone deserved a chance, and Naruto didn't want them to get hurt, even if they stunk up his favorite spot.

"I thought this area was well hidden, why on earth would the fox patrol come through here." Itachi asked slightly confused. He could have sworn he had found the perfect place. All the while he kept a wary eye on the young fox.

"Well," Naruto blushed sheepishly. "It's because I am here. They come through and check on me, then carry on about their business." He really shouldn't be talking to them, Naruto thought to himself. He looked at both of them closely. The older one had long black hair, grey eyes with specks of red in them, and pure black ears, and tail. The one around his age was a different story all together. He had black hair like the other, which was common among wolves, however he had red markings throughout his tail, and on his ears.

Itachi watched the little fox as he looked at both him and Sasuke. He too looked at the fox. He had a red orange coloring in his ears, Itachi couldn't quiet see his tail. His eyes are what caught his attention the most, one was blue, the other was a deep red.

"Itachi, why is he staring at me?" Sasuke asked nervously.

"If I had to guess he has never seen a wolf with your coloring, and never will." Itachi replied. Naruto nodded then turned his head. Ears twitching he blanched. Oh no, he thought. The patrol is really close.

Without warning he shoved Itachi and Sasuke into the nearest bush, and covered it with is tails. Just as he looked up, another fox entered the clearing.

"Lord Naruto, are you ok? I could have sworn I smelled wolves in this area." The fox asked worried. He had brown coloring, and amber eyes, which was common for foxes.

"Iruka I am fine, though I didn't smell any wolves, let alone see any. Though I could have sworn there was a weird scent by the waterfall. It was something I have never smelled before, but I think it has to do with the portal there." Naruto lied easily. He hated lying to Iruka, but he really didn't want the other two hurt. He was glad his tails were actually useful.

"What! Oh no. I will check that immediately. Lord Jirya wanted me to remind you not to stay out late tonight. He says something big is coming, the crazy loon." Iruka replied as he started to walk away. "My Lord." He bowed then took his leave.

Naruto waited until he couldn't smell, or hear Iruka before he moved. Standing aside he watched the two wolves climb out of the bush. Shock was on the younger one's face; amusement was on the older one's face.

"That was quick thinking, little fox." Itachi said smoothly. He still couldn't believe his eyes. When the fox splays his tails on the bush, Itachi thought he was going to faint. "You have nine tails; I don't believe that is common."

"You gonna make fun of me now? Go ahead I have heard it all. Besides everyone else does, or they avoid me like I a disease to be rid of." Naruto curled his tails around him, running a hand through them.

Itachi raised an eyebrow. He definitely was not expecting this when he snuck Sasuke out this morning. Though the off colored eyes should have tipped him off some.

"Well little fox, I think you are unique. So no, I will not make fun of you." Itachi replied. "May we come back to your little hideaway, my brother here is in need of a friend, and I think that you are too."

"On one condition, what are your names?" Naruto asked, knowing full well if anyone found out he would be in so much trouble.

"I am Itachi Uchiha, this is Sasuke Uchiha." Itachi replied with a smile.

"Tachi, we need to go, if father finds me gone…" Sasuke shuddered at the thought.

"Until we meet again, Naruto." Itachi and Sasuke ran off leaving Naruto alone.

"Well, this sure has been a strange birthday." Naruto said aloud. Then he headed home, making sure he kept this secret safe.

Wolf Clan

Lord Uchiha paced back and forth. He couldn't even think of a punishment strong enough for his sons, who sat in front of him. He couldn't believe that they would disobey him, right behind his back. He stopped and glared at Itachi, knowing full well it was his idea to begin with.

"You left this house, knowing full well the consequences if Sasuke had been seen!" He yelled. "What the hell were you thinking, or were you not thinking at all?"

"I was thinking that Sasuke cant spend his entire life locked in an attic, because you are afraid!" Itachi shouted back. "He has no friends, he is socially awkward, he is mostly alone in this house. Besides no one saw him, I took him where no wolf will follow."

"He doesn't need friends! Why should I care about it if he is awkward, he is never going to meet anyone! And where exactly did you take him, Itachi?" Lord Uchiha replied, caring not if Sasuke heard him.

Itachi glared. He hated his father, for everything. He drove their mother to an early grave, and he acted like Sasuke was a whore who should never be revealed.

"Somewhere safe. He is alive, a very smart boy, and you treat him like a soiled spot you want to remove, just because of some prophesy that we don't even know is real. Have you heard anything about a nine tailed fox, because I know I haven't." Itachi replied in anger. Standing up he grabbed his father and threw him against a wall. "This ends now, I will care for him from now on. He will be shown in public weather you like it or not. If people ask I will tell them he is my bastard, because I will no longer stand for him living like this. If you have a problem, stop me." Itachi let him go, knowing full well his father would do nothing. Yes, everyone feared the Lord Uchiha, but they feared Itachi much more.

Lord Uchiha shook out his shirt, then stormed off. Leaving Itachi and Sasuke alone. Itachi turned and saw that Sasuke was crying.

"What's wrong, Sasuke?" Itachi asked softly, walking up to him. Bending down he wrapped his arms around him.

"I'm just happy." Sasuke replied in between sobs. "Can we visit Naruto again?" Sasuke asked quietly.

"We will, but remember you can tell no one about him." Itachi replied. He only hoped things would end well, knowing that they rarely did.
