Sasuke jumped back with a smirk as Naruto sent a punch his way and missed, nearly losing his balance. "You gotta be better than that, dobe."

"Shut up, stupid teme." Naruto growled.

"Did you know your parents?" Sasuke suddenly asked.

The question threw the blonde off as he was about to lunge forward, instead, actually falling to the ground. "Huh?"

Sasuke rolled his eyes and stood up straight from his defensive position. Clearly the blonde was more clumsy than he realized. So much for them being equal sparring partners. He crossed his arms over his chest. "I said, did you know your parents?"

Naruto stood up, brushing himself off. "Yeah. I knew them for a few years."

Sasuke studied the blonde. "Where did you go after they died?"

Naruto narrowed his eyes. "It's my turn to ask a question."

Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "Then what's your question?"

Naruto pursed his lips together, unable to think of one.

Sasuke smirked. "Exactly. You can ask two questions if you want." His smirk grew larger. "That's if you can think of any."

"Teme." Naruto hissed, glaring at the raven. "Fine."

"So where did you go?"

"I ran away with my bro-" he coughed, almost forgetting he couldn't tell the whole truth to Sasuke. He cleared his throat as Sasuke raised an eyebrow at him. "With my uh, best friend. We escaped deep into the forest, far away from any humans or other demons."

"So why come all the way out here now?" Sasuke's curiosity was piqued as question after question popped into his mind.

Naruto chose to ignore the fact that Sasuke asked a third question. Instead a sad look crossed his face as he remembered the events that led to him running away.

"Me and my friend got into an argument over something really stupid. And I'm not very good with directions so I lost. But then I smelled your food and here we are."

"What did you guys fight over?"

Naruto realized that they probably weren't going to be going back to sparring, so he sat down with a huff, cross-legged. "On who the prophecy was about."

"Prophecy?" Sasuke followed Naruto's lead and sat down in front of him. One arm propped up on his knee. "What prophecy?"

"There's a prophecy that every demon knows." Naruto began. He recalled the story that Iruka told him multiple times. "The Prophecy is a tale written by the Gods. The Gods agreed that Demons and Humans will always be at war together. Only the strongest of each species will survive, for demons, that is the Nine-Tails and for humans, the Uchiha's. The Gods agreed that this will be their fate until the strongest Nine-Tails is born and the strongest Uchiha as well. Together the two will bring about peace. For humans, a boy of ten will carry the Amerestu Sharingan,the eyes of death. For demons. The Nine-Tailed fox of burgundy hay, will be the bearer of life. The two will unite and create life, the first human-demon hybrid."

Sasuke took in Naruto's words, staying silent. He narrowed his eyes at the blonde. "And who do you think the prophecy is about?"

"Me, of course." Naruto puffed out his chest, feeling prideful.

Sasuke quickly stood up, his eyes narrowed further into a deathly glare. "No Uchiha would ever mate with a filthy demon."

Naruto raised an eyebrow, ignoring Sasuke's anger. "The prophecy isn't wrong so of course it'll happen. And weren't you the one with the sharingan?"

"My brother was the one who defeated the Nine-Tails and he definitely wouldn't mate with the likes of you!" Sasuke's anger began to consume him, the sharingan spinning wildly.

"W-woah, Sasuke!" Naruto quickly scrambled to stand, a small shiver of fear running through his body. "I thought we agreed no sharingan?!" He could still back away at a normal pace, so now he knew Sasuke was telling the truth. He made a mental note to himself to never piss off Itachi.

Sasuke took a step forward at the cowering blonde. "There's no agreeing with a demon who is obviously delusional!" He took in a deep breath, making hand signals at a rapid pace.

Naruto tried to follow the movements to see what kind of spell he was casting. Iruka taught him and Kyuubi about the difference between demon magic and human spell casting, humans must use hand signs or at least some sort of object to conjure the magic surrounding them. Demons on the other hand, can access it easily, as simple as a twitch of the finger can cause damage. He wished he had paid more attention to the different signals. But whatever spell Sasuke was casting, he mad to dodge, now. In an instant, he transformed into his fox form just as a large fireball was formed in front of Sasuke.

Sasuke jumped back and exhaled, sending the fireball into the spot where Naruto was standing, causing a large explosion.

Kyuubi was itching to transform to reach his little brother faster. He just knew something bad had happened. The closer he got to the where the explosion happened, the more dread ran through him. Itachi guiding him through the maze of the Uchiha estate was not getting him there fast enough.

"They're probably in the clearing." Itachi said over his shoulder as he kept his steady pace down the path. "It's not too far now."

Kyuubi nodded, not saying anything except silently hoping he gets there in time.

"Itachi!" A voice called out and the pair stopped, much to Kyuubi's dismay, and turned to see Iruka and Kakashi running down the other path towards them.

"Do you guys know what happened?" Iruka asked worriedly.

"No." Itachi shook his head. "But whatever it is, it's coming from the training grounds just up ahead. I believe Naruto and Sasuke are most likely involved."

"Let's get going." Kakashi replied before starting to run in the direction, the three following close behind.

When they reached the clearing, the center of the field had a small crater, a small fire ablaze in the middle. Kyuubi's eyes widened as he saw the destruction of the field. His eyes searched wildly for any sign of his brother. Closer to the other edge of the clearing, he spotted the raven performing spells, his brother in his fox form dodging the attacks. "Naruto!" He began to run towards them when a strong grip grasped his arm.

"Don't rush in, Kyuubi, it's dangerous." Itachi warned. He scanned the area and mentally sighed. It was rare for his brother to lose control of his emotions but it's happened before. Calming him down was going to be one hell of a task on it's own. "We need to get Sasuke to calm down."

Kyuubi pulled his arm away and glared at the raven. Before turning back to his brother and Sasuke. He began to walk towards them, Itachi, Iruka and Kakashi cautiously following behind.

"Sasuke!" Kakashi called out. "You need to stop this, now!" His tone lost its playfulness that was usually accompanied it.

The words fell on deaf ears as the angered raven sent another fire spell at the fox.

"Sasuke. Enough is enough." Itachi's voice boomed out.

Kyuubi let out a small sigh. The idiocy of these humans thinking that words were going to stop someone this angered. He looked at the three of them, making sure no one was paying attention to him. He concentrated hard, he was unsure of how to calm a person down. Iruka mostly taught them defense magic. He kept his gaze on the angered younger Uchiha and felt the energy flow through his arm. He quickly pointed and watched as Sasuke suddenly stopped, the sharingan disappearing instantly.

Both Kakashi and Itachi were surprised and slightly confused at the change in Sasuke. Iruka sent Kyuubi a small glare as the redhead just shrugged.

Naruto's fox form instantly transformed back into his human self and before anyone could stop him, he ran in the direction of the Uchiha manor.

"Naruto!" Iruka called out after him. He turned back to the group. "I'm going to go after him."

Kakashi and Itachi both nodded and watched as the brunette followed after the running blonde. Kakashi turned back to Sasuke who seemed to be in a daze. He walked over and placed his hands on the raven's shoulders. "Let's go, Sasuke."

Kyuubi watched Kakashi walked away and then turned to look at Itachi who still had his back facing him. The redhead sheepishly scratched at the back of his head. "Um, do you want to go back?"

Itachi stayed silent and then slowly turned to him. A blank expression on his face. "So, how long did you think you could get away with hiding the fact that you're a demon?"
