Summary: In which Fugaku discusses the future with Kurama.

—————————————

A quick glance at his guest in front of him. Sips his tea slowly as he continues to watch the guest in front of him, who's matching his gaze one on one, blood red reminding him of the Sharingan as he narrows his eyes.

"So why did you call me over here, Uchiha?" Kurama asks cautiously, placing his cup of tea down. "You wouldn't have a reason, unless you wanted to ask about Obito. He's doing fine, by the way, if you are asking about him."

"No, I'm not planning to ask about him," Fugaku says, his eyes meeting blood red once more before he also places his cup down. Though, it is a relief to know that his nephew is doing fine and he's happy. Fugaku has more enough of a reason to give him to Kurama. "I'm planning to ask about what you know about the future."

That seems to stun Kurama, eyes briefly widening in shock before returning to his usual stare. "Why do you want to know about that?"

He returns the stare. Takes a deep breath, before he continues. "I just want to know what happened to the Clan so I can avoid it."

Silence enters the room, as Kurama arches an eyebrow delicately. He immediately regrets not choosing his words carefully. What he doesn't expect is– "Do you want the actual truth or just bits? If I tell you the bits, then it'll be easier for you and we don't have to ruin the future that much."

"..... What." It's more of a statement than a question.

The red-haired man completely ignores him, continuing on. "All I can tell you is that your clan will fall when you plan a rebellion. Oh, and try not to compare your two sons too much. That will ruin the both of them."

".... What."

"What the fuck is it, Uchiha?" Kurama stares disapprovingly at him through a glare that makes him feel he wants to hide away from this man who only came a few months ago. Chakra flares, and he feels faint from all the maliciousness that he can literally see. "I'm telling you what happened in bits. Best that you not know much."

"Are you're telling me this because....?" Fugaku is sure that there's some kind of motive behind Kurama for telling him. But he also doesn't expect the Uzumaki's next answer.

".... There was once a kid, who was claimed as a monster. There was another kid, who wanted to be an avenger because his clan fell. They were rivals in every way that you can't possibly say. Rivals, to friends, was a path that took a long time to complete for the both of them. The avenger had ran away from the village and the kid chased after him in an effort to bring him back. They fought each other, equal in every power, until the kid defeated the avenger. Then it fell apart, because of a mad man."

There are so many questions, and so many answers left unsaid when Kurama finishes. He's confused, slightly disturbed that Kurama is even telling him this, but why does this story have to do with anything– "What fell apart?"

He's silent, before the red-haired man speaks again. "The world, and their bond."

They don't say anything after that, and Fugaku takes in the information and flips it around his mind. Kurama excuses himself ("Obito and Kakashi are leaving the academy soon.") and leaves. Leaves Fugaku to his own thoughts.

Fugaku... Feels like there's more to Kurama than he thinks there is.

Another chapter! Also feels slightly rushed, but okay, hope ya like!

This time, Fugaku asks Kurama what happened in the future! Kurama shares his part, hinting how Naruto and Sasuke's bond ended with the world, and Fugaku is left wondering if there's more the Kurama than he thought. Though Kurama gave out important hints about what will happen in the future, it's enough to make Fugaku change his clan.

And thank you to Mija711 for pointing this out to me, most of you are probably confused about how Fugaku knew about Kurama coming from the future. While trying to convince Fugaku about allowing him to adopt Obito, Kurama purposefully let slip that he came from the future and knew what was going to happen to Obito (a very important hint about what he is becoming in now a possible future). Therefore, Fugaku allowed Obito to get adopted by Kurama!

Read, review and enjoy!
