Naruto x Sasuke back together

Three years have passed since Sasuke walked away from the bonds they once shared, leaving Naruto behind to train and grow stronger. When their paths cross again during a high-stakes mission, the reunion is anything but smooth. Naruto is injured in battle, and Sasuke, despite his stoic demeanor, reluctantly takes on the task of helping him recover by a cold, rushing river.

But as Sasuke carefully bandages Naruto's wounds, an unexpected tension sparks between them. Naruto begins to act strangely-his usual brashness replaced by an almost uncharacteristic softness, a feverish heat radiating from him as he leans closer. It's the Nine-Tails' doing-a rut triggered by the beast's latent instincts, and Naruto is losing control of himself.

His words become unfiltered, his actions bolder, as he gazes at Sasuke with eyes filled with something far deeper than friendship. Sasuke, caught off guard, struggles to maintain his composure. The quiet, calculated Uchiha is suddenly thrust into a moment far more intimate than any battle they've fought. Naruto's touch, his whispered words, and the magnetic pull between them threaten to break the barriers Sasuke has so carefully built.

Torn between his mission to save Naruto and the emotions he thought he'd buried years ago, Sasuke begins to realize that the bond they share might be impossible to sever. As Naruto fights the primal instincts clawing at his mind, he starts to wonder if the feelings he's experiencing are truly the Nine-Tails-or if they've been hidden within him all along.
