Sasuke and Naruto had called their brothers so they could have a nice brotherly chit chat. Itachi and Deidara made it to their house, and Sasuke told them about the stalker artist. Deidara instantly froze. "Sai? You mean the kid that has black hair, really pale skin, and usually carries a sketchbook with him? That Sai?"
Sasuke stared at him strangely, "Yeah, how do you know him?"
Deidara stared at his feet, and said, "He was with Kabuto and Kimimaru. He was a spy for them. I didn't think he went to your school! Oh my gosh this is terrible!"
"Dei we got this," Naruto said, wrapping his arm behind his big brother, "Sasuke and I can handle this! Right Sasuke?"
Sasuke nodded, "Yeah! You guys can't solve all of our problems for us."
Deidara frowned, "But this is different! What if they were planning a bomb raid? What if they planned to assassinate you in your sleep!? By now they would probably know where you live."
Naruto shrugged, "It's not like we're defenseless! Remember how we got together, and tried to help save you from them? We found out Kabuto's true identity, and we found out who his boss was! Itachi chose to be stubborn and do most of the work himself, but we still helped!"
The older blonde smiled, "I'm so thankful I'm here again," he frowned again, "I don't want you guys to be in the situation I was in though! That's why I don't want you guys doing things yourselves, just in case they actually manage to capture you-"
"What good will it do us if you do something irrational and get captured again?" Sasuke growled, "You worried us half to death, and we don't want anybody captured at all! If they were smart, they would try to either capture us in our sleep or capture somebody else and kill them as a threat to hand us over. Plus, I am on a secret mission, so if they find out what I'm doing, they're going to want us even more. So, for the time being, we are going to wait until we make a plan, and just act normal."
Itachi smirked, Deidara nodded, and Naruto looked confused. "Don't think too much Dobe," Sasuke whispered, "You'll get a headache."
Naruto scoffed, "Teme, you're the one using all the fancy words and logics."
"What's so hard about being you Naruto? It should be easy."
"That's not why I'm so confused! What does your plan have to do with anything?"
"If you don't get it Naru, it doesn't really matter anyway."
The younger blonde sighed, "Why don't we just lead him into a trap?"
Sasuke crossed his arms, "What did you have in mind?"
"Maybe we could act like we fought, broke up, and I leave you alone somewhere. Sai would take the initiative, and try to get you, but we would get him first!"
Sasuke sighed, "That's a good plan, but there are so many flaws and not enough details. How would we know where Sai would be?"
Naruto smirked, "That's what Itachi and Deidara are gonna do."
"Huh?" Deidara questioned.
"Itachi and Deidara find Sai, tell us where he is, and that's where we fight. With their analysis skills and the ability to catch small details, we could communicate with each other and find out more information about him. Dei, do you know anything about his abilities?"
"Not really, but I know he draws a lot. He always carries around a sketchbook, and Kabuto said he always trained with it. I don't know what it means, but maybe he attacks with paper or something."
Naruto gasped, "That's perfect! He attacks with his drawings somehow. Since he works in Orochimaru's gang, there's no telling what he would do, but we can prepare!"
"How would we get in the school?" Itachi asked, "If you haven't noticed yet, we're adults."
"Tsunade sama was the one who gave me the orders," Sasuke said, "So she shouldn't care too much about it. Although, you should hide straight from the beginning so Sai doesn't see you anyway. If you're caught by Tsunade sama though, let her know about the plan."
"So are we going to capture Sai, kill him, let him go, what?" Deidara asked.
Naruto thought a bit, and then said, "We should interrogate him, so just capture him. If he's too much of a handle, knock him out, but whatever you do, don't kill him."
"Why not?"
Naruto gaped at his brother, "Because nobody knows that Sai is with a group of criminals! They think he's a normal child! So if you kill him, people will think you're a murderer and throw you in jail!"
"True."
"This plan will commence next Monday," Sasuke said, "Make sure you prepare yourselves."
"You make it sound like we could die," Deidara snickered.
"And you make it sound like we couldn't die. You never know Dei; you could get captured again for all you know."
"Touché."
…
That night, Naruto had gone to bed early, and Sasuke found it the perfect time to research Naruto's past. He felt like he was intruding, but he remembered what would probably happen if he didn't do this. Naruto could get hurt again, and he didn't want to do that. Sasuke sighed, "I feel like a pedophile."
He continued scrolling through the numerous sights on Google, until he found one that sounded interesting. It had nothing to do on Naruto, but on a spirit Nine Tail Fox. He clicked on the link, and started reading the article:
The Nine Tails was known for destruction of all beings and life. He was the demon sent from the Devil. Chaos reigned in a small town called Konoha, and all hope was lost of survival, until one brave soul arose from the crowd. He faced the beast, and was known as the Yellow Flash. This warrior's name was Minato Namikaze. With only his knife in hand, he fought the spirit valiantly. He was running out of time, and the beast was going to destroy the town, until the warrior placed an ancient seal on the beast, and forced it into his newborn son, Naruto Uzumaki. Kushina Uzumaki, Minato's wife and Naruto's mother, also sacrificed herself for her son by helping Minato force half of the beast's spirit inside the child.
The warrior and his wife deceased, but the child still lives with a heavy burden. People shun him, and think of him as the beast spirit. Only those who don't know the story think of him as a normal person. The adults of the town never speak of this, and nobody will bring up the subject. Minato wanted Naruto to be known as a hero, but such was not prevailed. By the time Naruto turns seventeen, he will have to deal with the Nine Tails beast inside of him.
If he does not suppress the beast within three months after his seventeenth birthday, Naruto Uzumaki will die, and the beast will reign once again.

Sasuke was shocked with this information. Naruto, would die if he wasn't able to control this Nine Tails spirit! Sasuke wouldn't allow that. He sent the link of the website to Tsunade sama, and asked her what to do. Sasuke was panicking inside, but seemed calm on the outside. He had faith Naruto could do this, and it isn't until October, which is seven months away. Naruto has time, and if he needs Sasuke, he'll be there for him.
"Oh Naru," he whispered, "How could you keep such a heavy burden to yourself?"
…
In the morning, Sasuke was very tired. He hadn't gone to bed until three in the morning, meaning he only had four hours of sleep. Tsunade hadn't messaged him back yet, but he knew she would probably speak with him at school. This demon fox got Sasuke scared for Naruto's sake. While he was dressing, he thought of how the day would go. When he saw his Naru in the kitchen, the blonde smiled at him with a sunny grin. Sasuke smiled, trying to hide his sadness of possibly losing his sun.
He's my sun
He's my sky
He's got my heart
And he might die.
Oh Naruto! I'm so sorry!
A/N Sasuke was the one who was thinking in the end by the way, just letz yas know! HAPPY AWESOMENESS!
