Sasuke sat up and looked toward Naruto who had the henge back up. He clenched his fists and shook him violently.
Naruto whined in protest and swatted Sasuke away. Sasuke shook him again and Naruto shot up, glaring at him.

"It's like 2 in the morning teme."
"I want answers."
Naruto stared at Sasuke and sighed. "Fine.. come on." Naruto stood and Sasuke quickly followed.

They sat on the dock, Naruto had a cup of hot chocolate while they stared out in the distance of shimmering water.

"... why do you hide that you aren't Minatos son?"
Naruto sighed. "Because before Minato married Mebuki he was supposed to marry Kushina."
"But?"
"But my mom had an affair."
Sasuke furrowed his eyebrows and looked at Naruto. "With who?"
Naruto took a sip of the hot drink and sat it beside him. "With Uchiha Madara."
Sasuke stared with wide surprised eyes. "Wait.. than that means."
"I'm an Uchiha, yeah."
"And the heads son."
"To anyone in the village, he didn't have a son. I was born in a cave because my mom was the jinchuriki. My brother was actually the one who made it possible for me to become the jinchuriki."
"Brother?"
"Uchiha Obito."
"Wait.. but he's as old as Kakashi.. and if your only 11.."
"Yeah..I'm what they call a miracle child." Naruto sighed. "I ran away when I was 3 because of how much the villagers abused me.. that's why no one knows I'm Madaras son.. and I plan to keep it that way."
"Why? It's a great honor to be an Uchiha."

Naruto lowered his head and covered his left eye.

"I'm a jinchuriki Sasuke.. a jinchuriki with the sharinnegan."
Naruto looked at Sasuke. Sasuke stared in amazement at the purple sharinnegan.
"I get you won't get why I hide that I'm an Uchiha-Uzumaki mix but I already have so much hatred, I don't need to be targeted because I'm Uchiha Madaras son. He has too many enemies and.. I have a feeling if word ever got out I wouldn't be able to just be a Genin anymore."
Sasuke frowned. "I was never planning on telling anyone who you really were."
"You don't need to plan it, there's a reason I have secrets about who I am. If we got in a fight or you were tortured into telling the enemies who I was, who the jinchuriki was than you may just say it."
Naruto looked at Sasuke. "That's why Anbu have masks and code names, so no one knows who they truly are."
Sasuke clenched his fists. "Yeah.. I know."

Both sat in silence. Sasuke looked back at the dark water.

"How does everyone think your Minatos son? I..I just can't stop thinking about that."
Narutos unmatched past came into Sasukes head. He needed to know, he needed to know everything about Naruto and it was starting to become an obsession of his.
Naruto glanced at Sasuke.
"It's like a genjutsu."
Sasuke clenched his fists.
"I can manipulate a large group of people or one specific persons memories, even their thoughts. For all you know this could also be a henge and I'm a 20 year old planning to destroy Konoha." Naruto looked at Sasuke. "The Sharinnegan is a very dangerous power to have, that's why only a few have been granted with it."
"... than how do you have it?"
"Because my sorrow from watching my mother die was too strong." Naruto clenched his fists. "My paranoia for the jingle of a bell came from the memory."

Sasuke gripped Narutos shoulder and he looked at him.

"Could I maybe see it?"

Naruto stared at Sasuke and sighed. He pulled his bangs back and looked into his teammates eyes.
Sasuke watched with a knot tying in his stomach as Narutos right eye shifted into the eternal mangekyo sharingan.

Sasuke opened his eyes for black and red to surround him. He stood on black grass with a red sky swimming above. Trees rose above him with a woman's blood curdling scream coming not so far away.
He ran in that direction to see a woman who had only just given birth on her knees with a small baby boy in her arms. Laying before her was Uzumaki Mito, the Thirds wife.

He watched as a fox grew from red chakra into a beast with nine tails and devil blood red eyes.
A small figure stood on top of the nine tails head, his arms crossed with a white mask and black coat.

"Uchiha Obito."
Sasukes voice sounded almost distant as he watched the nine tails destroy anything in his path or in sight.

The surrounding swirled into a different scenery.

"No! No Minato please not Naruto!" Kushina pleaded.
"We can't put the nine tails in anyone else Kushina! Now stop crying!"
Minato pushed Kushina off of his fourth hokage coat. He sat the small baby boy on the small podium.

It was Naruto.
Sasuke stood above him in fear. Naruto cried with his small fists clenched together and his tummy unmarked from the bold ink.
He was so small. This.. was Naruto?

Sasuke knelt. He tried to run his hand over Narutos truffled raven hair but his hand only went through the ruffled hair.

"No! Please! Please Minato!" Kushina cried.
Sasuke looked back at them.
Kushina looked so weak as Minato continued to ignore her and began to do hand signs.

"Kill him."
Sasuke and Kushina looked over to see Obito pointing at Naruto. The nine tails growled before sending one of his ginormous claws at the new born.
"No!"

Sasuke tried to move but his legs were bound to the ground. He looked up for his eyes to widen in horror.
The nine tails claw pierced through Kushina effortlessly as Minato stayed on the sidelines, finishing the jutsu he was focused on.

Blood splat across Narutos small body with some even on Sasukes cheek. The blood sizzled off of Sasukes cheek while the large droplets smeared over Naruto.
Kushina coughed as she held onto the claw lodged through her.

"Naruto." She breathed.
Tears fell from her slowly dulling eyes as Naruto cried louder.

Sasuke felt his own tears build up as he watched the seal burn across Narutos stomach in red and dull to black.
Naruto screamed as red chakra slithered into the new seal.

"N-Naruto." Sasuke shakily called with the tears filling breaking his eye-lashed barrier.

He grabbed Narutos head and pulled their lips together. Sasuke still shook with the memory and tears fresh.
