Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls... I have returned.

It's been awhile since my last update due to the fact that I updated my other Naruto crossover story and uploaded a new story just a few days ago but with that out of the way, my focus is now back onto this story.

My last update hinted that the next future to be shown would be Sasuke's future and yes, this update is about Sasuke. due to most readers asking for action scenes and such to be in the fanfic, this scene will be a fight with Naruto and Sasuke.

But... *hint hint* this is not the fight at the Valley of the End.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto because if I did, I would relaxing somewhere in Europe and not sitting at home typing a fanfiction.

Sasuke reached towards the matrix with a thousand questions whirling around in his head. What would the matrix show him? Would it be his death? Would he die at the hands of Itachi? If so, then how did he have a daughter with Sakura? Had Itachi allowed him to live that long only to rip him from his family and do to his daughter the same thing he had done to Sasuke? With that thought, a rare moment of protective rage filled Sasuke's being. Sarada might not be born yet, but the fact of the matter was that the girl was an Uchiha. HE wouldn't be alone anymore and though he never admit it out loud, based on what he had saw in Sakura's projection, the rosette on his team had made a great mother.

His feelings still jumbled, Sasuke channelled chakra to his feet, causing the sealing matrix to come to life with bright blue lights. Soon, the illegible scribbling of the matrix twisted and morphed into a screen and it burst to life revealing a much older Sasuke glaring angrily at something in the sky.

"Hmmmm... dark hair, check. Dark clothing, check. A permanent scowl on his face, check. Yep, that's definitely Sasuke-teme," Naruto commented a loud, miming a check list in his hand.

Sasuke glared back while the others snickered.

Sasuke Uchiha walked forward, a black cloak engulfing his frame. Slowly, he reached his right hand towards the collar of his cloak and with a slight flick of his wrist, the cloak was sent fluttering out in the breeze revealing a white vest thrown over a grey long-sleeved shirt. Grasped in his hand, was a sword. "Hn, guess we're doing this again," Sasuke said as another figure made its way beside him. It was a tall man, with short blonde hair spiked out. Three whisker marks on each cheek was his most unique feature as his orange and black jacket was left open to reveal a black undershirt.

"Hey look, it's me again... wait a minute... is this a fight?!" Naruto asked excitedly, large stars apparently bursting to life with in his eyes.

"Looks like we get to see the Seventh Hokage in action," Kakashi commented, and for once placing his orange book back into his pouch. He slipped his hand beneath the hem of his makeshift eye-patch/headband and revealed the feared dojutsu. This action caught the attention of the son of the Hokage.

"Oi Kakashi, don't you think that's a bit excessive?" Asuma asked, pausing as he began to lift a cigarette to his lips, ignoring the disapproving glare from the Genjutsu Mistress of Konoha.

"Not at all," Kakashi stated his eyes never leaving the screen. "We're about to witness a fight of at least two Kage-level shinobi and if there is someone out there that requires both the Hokage AND one of his shinobi to fight, it's quite east to conclude that we're dealing with no ordinary enemy."

"You can say that again," Naruto commented as he closed the distance and stood shoulder to shoulder to Sasuke. "So... same thing as last time, Sasuke?" Naruto asked before he was engulfed in flames. His jacket became enshrouded by golden fire while his under shirt was pitch black with glowing magatama surrounding his neck. Black lines ran the length of his pants' seam and his eyes became burnt orange with a black cross settling where his pupil was.

"Sugoi!" Naruto exclaimed as he witnessed his older-self's transformation. "That's so cool!"

Meanwhile, the Third Hokage's lips were set into a thin line. He too was surprised by the sudden transformation but as a three time war veteran, he had seen much stranger things on the battlefield and was able to keep his surprise hidden. Now however, he had different thoughts. 'So, this is what the Kyuubi's chakra looks like under control,' he thought, before he nodded slightly. It seems Minato had made the right choice in entrusting his son with the strongest bijuu.

Levitating a few feet above them, their opponent glared heatedly as the two shinobi walked forward without a hint of fear. He scowled, his blood red lips curling in distaste. He wore a set of rather intricate gown, hinting that despite his grotesque appearance, he was indeed nobility. With skin as red as blood and stark white hair pulled back into a spiky ponytail. His irises were white, encompassed within black sclera. He was Momoshiki Otsutsuki, and right now, he was the bane of Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki.

Sakura shrieked in fear as the man came into view. Many had reactions similar to hers, either flinching or visibly grimacing as the man checked off all the features normally attributed to a demon.

Having enough of the two, Momoshiki shot into action. With speeds that few could follow, he rushed at the two shinobi. Sasuke grinned, before he and Naruto ran to meet the towering man half-way. All three figures became nothing more than blurs and with a resounding boom that sent shock-waves for miles and rooted up the ground, they all met at a single point. The smoke cleared and revealed that Momoshiki had landed on the ground, and had blocked Naruto's flaming fist in his left hand and Sasuke's own in his right. Momoshiki growled as they were caught in a stalemate, neither able to get any advantage.

"No way," Kiba whispered in awe. His eyes were a s wide as the moon and his jaw seemed unhinged. The feral boy was of course shocked by the show of strength that his two teammates had just shown. But how could he not be?! This was insane. All they did was ran at each other and interlocked fists and yet had uprooted the area by their actions. It was surreal.

"I guess you were right Kakashi. You are gonna need a sharingan to keep up with this fight," he cut his eyes back to the younger counterparts of the two Leaf-nin on the screen and seriously couldn't believe that it was these two boys who would have grown to reach that level. 'The Will of Fire, huh.' he thought distractedly, 'I always thought the old man was just spouting his usual lectures when he spoke about that but... if there was ever a generation that inherited the Will of Fire, it would be this one,'

It remained that way until Sasuke suddenly lurched forward, slipping from Momoshiki's grasp and landing a heavy kick against the man's chest. The crimson man flew backwards from the attack, while the duo pressed onward, giving him no chance to recover. They sped towards his sprawled form at incredible speed, with Sasuke slowly edging out Naruto in their race to the opponent. The Uchiha vanished from view, before reappearing in front of Momoshiki and slammed into his gut shoulder first. The Otsutsuki was pushed further back and let out a small groan from the body slam. Luckily for him, he was able to recover in time to block an upcoming attack from the hokage, before countering with a vicious punch, blasting Naruto off to the side. Naruto rolled with the punch, quickly recovering in time to brace for the charging form of Momoshiki. He fell into the fighting stance taught to him by the toads of Mt. Myoboku but that proved unnecessary as Momoshiki was once again body slammed by the Uchiha. Sasuke's advantage only lasted for a moment for as soon as Momoshiki found his footing, he overpowered Sasuke in a quick bout of taijutsu, smacking him to the side as Naruto quickly took his place.

"Hell yeah, get him dattebayo!" Naruto shouted from his seat, entertained by the speedy fight. Honestly, he could only see several blurs converging at each other in rapid succession but knew well enough that the golden figure shooting across the scene was him. And man was he strong inn the future!

"Unreal!" Choji spoke up, for the first time truly intrigued by what he saw. He had been in his fair share of spars back at the Academy but this fight was near god-level if he said so himself. Beside him, his best friend Shikamaru was caught between being fascinated and troubled by what he saw. If Naruto and Sasuke were this strong, what kind of monster were they facing that it took both of them to take him on?

Naruto attacked with ferocity. He ducked under Momoshiki's swipe and latched on to the man's arm, grappling it with no intentions of letting go. Momoshiki growled in annoyance as this 'lower being' held on to him like a sloth to a tree limb. So caught up with Naruto, he was unprepared with Sasuke rushed forward, dropped to the floor and swept his feet out from beneath him. He tumbled like a great tree and fell backwards. Naruto relinquished his hold on the giant of a man and leaped backwards, leaving Sasuke enough room to straddle the flailing man and unsheathed his blade. The glistening of silver was the only indication Momoshiki got before Sasuke brought the blade downwards. Momoshiki recovered and planted a foot in the dark-haired man's chest, pushing him off him and the sword flew into the air. Momoshiki sighed in relief for a moment before Naruto appeared above him, catching the loose sword and bringing it down in a deadly arc.

"They have wonderful cohesiveness," Kurenai complimented, satisfied with the teamwork both boys - no, men - displayed in the fight.

A glowing red sword blocked his strike, pushing him back as Momoshiki rolled out from beneath him and stood up. The Otsutsuki leaped backwards to gain room as more glowing weapons burst from his back and sailed towards the charging hokage in a hail of death. Naruto weaved and dodged through the barrage before he closed the gap once again, and engaged Momoshiki in a bout of kenjutsu. Both men clashed blades once, twice then thrice before Naruto backed off. Momoshiki was momentarily by the retreated, before Sasuke slipped in between the gap left by Naruto and knocked the red sword from him and kicked him in the stomach, his body betrayed his wishes and propelled back before his neck snapped upwards when Sasuke kicked him under the chin in a vicious mule kick.

Gai suddenly jumped from his seat. "IMPOSSIBLE!" he shouted in 'Gai-like' fashion. He pointed an accusatory finger in the screen's direction before bellowing. "That move the youthful future Sasuke performed was none other than the same technique one does when preparing to execute the Lotus!" the exuberant man explained to those who didn't understand what he was talking about.

Shyly, Sakura raised a hand as though still in the Academy, "Umm, Kakashi-sensei?"

"Yes, Sakura?"

"What's this 'Lotus' thing that the weird man is talking about?"

Kakashi smiled beneath his face mask. One, because he was glad that his student was attentive enough to notice things and ask questions and two, she had said the magic words by calling Gai the weird man. He had dreaded the thought of any of his students becoming ensnared in the green-spandex wearing cult Gai obviously was trying to start. He shuddered.

Poor Lee.

Momoshiki was launched into the air with the speed of a bullet. Mid-flight, he was able to crane his head to watch where his opponent was and was shocked to see that Sasuke, for once was not pressing. He was made known when a gold enshrouded fist smashed into his face. His cheek caved in under the pressure and he was hit with enough force to blast through a large pillar of earth and shattered the rock into pieces. Pain racked through his systems as the heel of the Uchiha was planted into his face, sending him flying back through the pillar and crashing into another land form. A large crater was formed as he slumped off the rock but before he could gain his bearings, Sasuke attacked again, this time an axe-kick to the gut sending him careening to the floor in a loud BOOM.

"SO COOL! Way to go Sasuke-kun!" Sakura cheered, wrapping her arms around the neck of the secretly pleased Uchiha. Sasuke himself was left mesmerized by his own prowess and internally, had no doubts that he had been able to defeat Itachi if this was any sort of indication of how far he would progress.

Beside her however, Naruto pouted at the lack of praise on his part. He slumped into his seat before he felt a soft hand on his shoulders. He turned to face Hinata, seeing the girl twiddling with her thumbs and a heavy blush on her cheeks. "I-I think you're pretty cool too, Naruto-kun," she stated, and was not prepared for the boy to sweep her up in his arms.

"You really think so Hina-chan?" he asked, not at all aware of the affectionate title he had given her. The girl however was, and in true Hinata fashion, passed out. "Eh?Eh? Hinata-chan?!" Naruto asked in a panic, hoping that he had not done something to hurt her. Kurenai only chuckled, telling the boy that it was fine and Hinata would wake up soon enough. Naruto agreed, but couldn't help but sneak a few glances in her direction every now and then.

Momoshiki groaned from his position on the ground and watched as both Naruto and Sasuke converged on his from. He acted quickly, and with a quick flick of the wrists, red chains shot from his hand and wrapped around Sasuke's torso and rolled out of the way as Naruto attack went wide. Smoke erupted on the scene and Sasuke was seen sent rolling in one direction. When the smoke cleared, Naruto was seen buried by rubble. The hokage looked up, only to see Momoshiki making hand seals before he clasped his hands together and the the rubble converged and crushed his from.

"NARUTO-KUN!" Hinata shouted.

Sasuke, angered by Momoshiki's actions, charged with anger clouding his thoughts. So caught up by his emotions, he didn't see that the ground had been turned into mud and had hardened around his ankles until he was already trapped by the jutsu. He grimaced before plunging his sword into the mud and channeled his lightning chakra through the mixture, and was rewarded with his escape. And just in time to dodge the swipe of Momoshiki wielding a red hammer. Sasuke was forced into the air to avoid the strike and played right into Momoshiki's hand as multiple rocks converged on his form and turned to hot magma, burning the Uchiha. Sasuke screamed in pain before he was caught in a big explosion caused by Momoshiki.

"SASUKE-KUN!" Sakura was the one that shouted out in concern now.

Momoshiki smirked as he believed he had finally rid himself of his two biggest threats but was proved wrong when a loud roar echoed through the air. Momoshiki's hair raised on the back of his neck when with the blast of golden energy, a massive beast appeared on the scene. Golden ethereal energy formed the shape of a large fox. Nine tails waved hypnotically behind him, a sneer on the beast's face as it glared at the man.

In the center of the beast stood the enraged Seventh Hokage.

"K-K-K-Kyuubi!" Mebuki screamed, her skin paling to sheet white tones. The woman's entire body shivered and it was her husband's gentle touch that reminded her that they were only watching the future. Catching her breaths, her eyes quickly went to the pale form of the young jinchuriki, quickly noting that he too was shaking from the emergence of the Kyuubi.

"The Kyuubi? But how... why... didn't the Fourth kill it?" Sakura sputtered, trying to find out what the beast of most of her scary stories was doing in this fight. Had it somehow returned to finish the job? But that was when she saw that within the fox, was a person. And that person was none other than her own teammate, Naruto. She turned to him, noting that he was afraid. Had he known about the Kyuubi? If so, then how was he connected to it? "Naruto.. are you..."

Naruto flinched as he predicted Sakura's question. He should have known it was too good to be true. That his secrets would have come out despite him wishing he could have taken it to his grave. He tried to explain to her what was going on but words failed him. Fortunately, the Third came to his rescue, telling them all that the existence of the Kyuubi would be explained after the viewing was complete.

In Naruto arms was the prone figure of Sasuke who was not looking good. Half his face was burnt and he was fatigued. But that was quickly dealt with the injection of the Kyuubi's chakra into his body. Recovered from his injuries, Sasuke stood beside Naruto as the golden fox exploded in a burst of purple. The violet clashed with gold as it enshrouded the massive fox, wrapping it in what appeared to be samurai amour. With a violet blade in hand, the Nine-tailed Demon fox roared and charged into battle.

The screen sputtered and vanished, returning back to the scribbles of a sealing matrix. A tense silence was in the room as the Third contemplated as to how to begin the tale of what truly happened the night of October tenth.

Hey guys!

Sorry about the absence. The thing is I got caught up writing my new story I had uploaded as I wanted to reach a certain point in that story before I averted my attention elsewhere.

I hope you like this installment.
