"SASUKE!"

"NARUTO!"

An explosion rings around the Valley Of the End. And a black chakra like substance can be seen roaring away from it's chaotic center.

Smoke lifts away from the scene to reveal two boys.

A blond haired boy with cerulen-blue eyes, stands leaning against the side of the mountain panting, standing over the form of a black haired male.

The blond coughs in what looks to be pain before chuckling humorously.

"You ready to come back now, Sasuke?" He asks the still unmoving Sasuke.

"...Even if I had a choice you'd still drag me back. Wouldn't you...Naruto?" He replies after a few moments shakily pushing his body up, managing to hold himself up with his arms.

"...I have to ask. It would be rude not to." Naruto replies smiling painfully, still leaning on the side of the mountain.

"Stop with that smile...it's unnerving." Sasuke says trying to get up into a sitting position. Naruto's smile drops and he gains an emotionless expression.

"Sorry, been doing it for years." Naruto replies sheepishly rubbing the back of his head.

"And...when we were fighting . What was it that you were talking about when you said you knew my pain?" Sasuke replies finally getting to the sitting position, only to fall on his back with a groan.

"My parents were killed when I was born. And I didn't really have a good childhood." Naruto says sadly.

"What do you mean you didn't have a good childhood?" Sasuke asks laying on his back, looking as if he gave up on getting up.

"Well, you know that red chakra I used? It's jinchuriki's chakra, most people refer to it as the Kyuubi's chakra." Sasuke gains a wide eyed look before nodding slowly in understanding.

"That's why adults look at you that way isn't it?" He asks making Naruto raise his brow.

"Oh, you actually noticed that. Well, yeah, it's why people look at me with hatred in their eyes. They believe I'm the Kyuubi incarnate when I'm really just the cage holding him back." Naruto looks at the ground in anger.

"That's not nice, but what is worse then that?" Sasuke asks curiously.

" When I was a kid they always beat me up and tortured me. Sometimes, they used kunai, knives, and katanas, or threw jutsu at me. I would be at death's door almost every week by the time I was 4." Sasuke looks up at him in shock and his sharingan activates from anger, but suddenly changes into a new form, the Mangekyo Sharingan. Sasuke winces and blinks his eyes heavily revealing his regular black.

"Huh, looks like you unlocked the thing you were planning on killing me for." Naruto mutters, no trace of anger in his voice.

"Sorry for, you know, trying to kill you. Also for that chidori to your chest. I didn't realize you had it as bad, maybe even worse than I did." Sasuke mutters shedding a tear.

Naruto unconciously moves his free hand, which isn't supporting him, to touch the whole in his chest.

"It's fine, at least you actually apologize for it instead of repeating the action."Naruto says, leaning down towards him and grabbing him by the shoulder, slowly lifting him up onto his back.

"Let me guess, back to the village that torments you?" Sasuke asks sarcastically groaning in discomfort. Naruto sighs in disappointment before starting to search for a way up to the top of the canyon. Sasuke moves into a comfortable position, trying not to be a burden.
