The Rebirth of the Red Eye (Uchiha Obito Self-insert)

Waking up after being reborn is one thing, but being reborn as the villain of an anime is another. Obito, as he is called now, says screw it to the future and is going to adopt all emotionally stunted characters like Kakashi and Itachi and give them so many hugs. He is going to make sure that all the stuff that is supposed to happen doesn’t and keep his family, friends, and precious people safe no matter what because they deserve better than the bad canon ending they get.
(PART 1 of THE RED EYE SERIES)

Chapter 1: Planning Ahead

Chapter Text

His name was Obito Uchiha, or at least it was now. People expect many things after death, but the last thing they really think will happen is rebirth. Thankfully, he never had to go through the whole being born thing. His old name wasn't one he really cared for, and he wasn't sure how he died because all he remembered was blackness and pain coming from his body but not any specific place. However, the next thing he knew was waking up in a small body in an unknown room. It didn't take long before a glimpse of new memories flooded his brain, and they weren't a lot but just enough to realize what had happened.

For whatever reason, he had woken up as a once final character from an anime named Obito Uchiha, but he was in the body of a 5-year-old. After reviewing the small memories, he had, he learned that his grandmother had passed away yesterday from a heart attack, and he had been crying all night long before waking up today.

"Huh, why?...-" Obito pursed his lips when he heard how different he sounded, so much more high pitch and boyish, unlike his usual voice. This was very interesting but not the weirdest thing to Suddenly being a male since he had no real attachment to his original gender, and it was going to be strange having a dick, but he would get used to it. The second thing that caught his attention was the black box floating in front of his face reading.

---Congratulation, you have unlocked your Sharingan (LV - 1); please check your status to see the perks this unique skill gives you!---

"Now THAT is interesting," He dryly stated, blinking slowly at the words, curious as to why he wasn't currently panicking as much as he thought, seeing as he was in another world with a new body.

"Okay...Ummm, status?"

----Status----

(LV - 1)Obito Uchiha - The Disgrace of the Uchiha Clan

CP - 100/100

SP - 6

~A young five-year-old Orphan, Uchiha, is outcasted by his clan due to his parents' deeds or casting aside clan teaching~

(Currently unharmed minus minor exhaustion due to excessive crying)

Obito coughs at the last words feeling his cheeks burn in embarrassment reset because, in his past life, he wasn't the one to cry usually unless he felt a lot of emotional pain, which was also confirmed in this life. A moment later, he furrowed his eyebrows in thought because hadn't it said he could check what perks the Sharingan gave him? How does he do that?

"Do I say Sharingan status?" When nothing happened, he tried again, "uh, skills set?" That got a reaction, and a different box appeared in front of him again.

---Skills---

After a few minutes of reading the text a few times, he sighed and closed the box, and leaned back on top of his new? Current? Bed and relaxed. He now knew why he was so calm, and apparently, it was due to his gamer mind thingy, which meant that he would have been in a lot of denial and panic if he didn't have it, which he couldn't help but be thankful for. A Thought struck Obito, causing him to sit up with a cold feeling in his stomach.

"If I am Obito, then it means I will cause so much destruction in the future...and so much pain to others" His breath became faster until something inside of him forced his rising panic into the background while it was still there, it wasn't overwhelming or overpowering. With his thoughts clear once again, he could see the positive side of things " if the original Obito caused all that, then I can stop it from happening in the first place!" Obito grinned, went back to going through his memories, and began planning.

Chapter 2: Already Hitting Problems...

Chapter Text

Obito discovered multiple things over the next week. One was that the Uchiha elders were stupid, second, the elders were idiots, and last and not least, his limits currently with his Sharingan. First, apparently, the house he was living in was just his alone and was at the edge of the Uchiha compound, the clan would give him a monthly allowance and pay for the rent, but he would live independently. Obito was very shocked when those memories came back since apparently he, A FIVE-YEAR-OLD CHILD, would be living alone, minus the weekly check-ins to make sure he was still kicking. It baffled him because he wasn't an average child and had lived up to 19 years old when he died, but if he wasn't, then they had just left a freaking kid alone.

Obito took a deep breath, grabbed the money on the counter, and began counting it, reaching 7,000 dollars.

"I can't believe they would leave a freaking kid all alone…" he grumbled, putting the money back on the counter, walking outside into the back of the house, and taking a deep breath. He looked at the Hokage's head with amazement. Still, no matter what the original Obito wanted, he would not want to be Hokage in any world because just imagining all the paperwork is like being forced to do homework again.

"With that thought in mind, I will have to go to school again..." In the last week, Obito hadn't left the house and was lucky there was basic food in the fridge if he got hungry, which surprisingly he didn't, well, unlike the fifth day, which was probably due to his gamer body. His new home had two floors, 2 bedrooms, one office, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a living room. This was apparently a building for shinobi or ninjas who needed a home temporarily due to circumstances, but now it is his. Knowing this explained why the many bookshelves in his office were filled with books of ninja art, jutsu, and a few survival tips. Those Were going to be helpful if he wanted to be strong enough to change this for the future; at least the good news was that turning on his Sharingan wasn't hard all he had to do was imagine and wish for it to turn on, and it did. Having a Sharingan was like wearing glasses that made your vision perfect but without the weight of the glasses, and when you turned it off, you remembered everything like you just had seen it. Another bonus was that by turning on his Sharingan, he had unlocked my chakra control. He had processed to abuse his Sharingan and began to memorize any book about jutsus and chakra techniques. At the beginning of one book, it explicitly stated that any jutsu should not be used by children under six years old since their chakra coils aren't developed enough to handle the strain. Still, on the other hand, chakra exercises were allowed to a certain extent, and in the presence of another ninja to prevent accidents which he didn’t have.

Obito was five, but next year he would be six and able to practice all the jutsus he wanted to do and even raise his current chakra levels. Due to his current level, he could only activate his Sharingan for a short while since every minute he had it active was 10 chakra from him. So then, by next February 10, he could do what he wanted, but it would take a while since it was October now.

"Well, I may not be able to use my chakra, but I can still raise my physical abilities " Obito knew that even with his Sharingan being able to see things at fast speeds, it would be worthless if his tiny body couldn't keep up at all. He blankly stared at the small area with a blank stare as uneasiness crept up his spine, causing a shiver to rack his small frame. He looked around, and usually, this feeling would be like eyes staring at the back of your head would not be real in his old world, but now it is a world full of ninjas; he couldn't be too sure.

---Congratulation, you have unlocked your sixth sense (LV - 1); please check your status to see the perks this unique skill gives you!---

Obito decided that he would do his physical training at a later date until he figured out what was happening and walked back inside the house. As soon as he reached his living room, he sat down and began to read his new skill.

Sixth Sense (LV - 1) - this allows you to be able to feel when a person is staring at you and even give you a certain instinct or luck when doing something. This skill doesn't work on those of higher level or with higher stealth unless this skill levels up.

"That sounds helpful ," Obito thought because if he was going to be a ninja, this kill would help him out a lot, but if this skill meant someone was looking at him, then who could it be, maybe ANBU? the Hokage? or ROOT-

"On no, I forgot!" Obito grabbed his hair as fear rose in his chest, but as quickly as it came, it was gone and shoved to the back. Obito took a breath and released his hair from its death grip, surprised when there was no pain and instead, a number appeared in front of his eyes

-.3 HP

He blinked as it made sense that instead of pain, he would lose health now, which was interesting and weird at the same time. Obito facepalmed when he noticed he had forgotten about one small but huge problem.

"ROOT…Danzo" Obito knew that if he began to show even a small bit of potential in his Sharingan, Danzo could try to steal him away, and no one would notice since he was the disgrace of the Uchiha, and worst they would think he died in a hole then being kidnapped. However, something he could do to hide this would be if he just pretended to be like the original Obito and not in personality but in strength which would throw him off his trail. That shouldn't be too hard for him since he already acted a lot like the original Obito, just with more patience and a shorter temper. The clothes, on the other hand, and his looks well…

Obito walked to the bathroom, and for the first time since he arrived, he took a look at himself. He wore a small blue shirt with the Uchiha fan on the back and some dark grey shorts. His face was very round with baby fat with some pink on it, his eyes were big, black, and round, and his hair was in small short spikes, making him look like a porcupine with how messy it was.

"At least I'm cute, but the Uchiha fan has to go," He mumbled, poking his pink cheek and looking at the Uchiha clan's symbol; while he loved the Uchiha clan, he wouldn't want to wear the symbol because it would be annoying if he was constantly compared to them. Another good thing that would come if he pretended to be weaker would end up with Kakashi and rin and be alongside sakumo hatake, the team minato characters were his favorite, and he would be damned if he let them suffer their fates.

Chapter 3: Titles mean Everything

Chapter Text

Obito thought that many members of the Uchiha clan were super cool or badass with Mangekyou Sharingan and all, but he was seriously thinking about reconsidering his opinion on them. After making a plan that he was going to hide his true potential, at least until he became a part of team minato, he went outside into the village for the first time, and something he quickly noticed was how people looked happy but expressed a layer of sadness, grief, and anger underneath it. This apparently gave him a new skill.

---Congratulations, you have unlocked your emotional Aura (LV - 1)---

Emotional Aura (LV - 1) - This allows the user to sense other people's emotions and feelings by looking at them and allows you to emit your own aura with your emotions at different levels and even hide your emotions from others if you so wish. The higher level a person is, the harder it is to use this Skill

This Skill kinda reminded him of both minato and kushina and how they would be dangerous with a smile on their faces, and it would be really handy if he could use this Skill to project killer intent and such.

---Congratulations new Skill created, Killer Intent (LV-4)---

Killer Intent (LV - 4) - The ability to direct the intent to kill or harm at a person or area decreases by effectiveness by 10% for every level higher than the person is compared to you.

*Due to the Uchiha Natural KI, your Skill is 4% more effective per each level a person is compared to you*

"Or I could just make a new skill for it," He deadpanned, feeling not at all amused by his abilities as it felt like it was helping and mocking him because, really, his Uchiha genes actually helped. As Obito walked around for a while, seeing a few elderly ladies and something made him feel bad, and he helped them, and apparently by also helping them, it would be the same a goal or his task that gave him enough exp to level up to level 4 and gained 2 of something called SP which he would have to research later.

However, at least from his little errands, he ran for an old lady who ran a dango shop, and he never thought something could taste so good; he discovered a mission could be made by something being asked of him, and he could even make his own.

"Speaking of mission… ." Obito remembered that Kakashi's dad was supposed to do some kind of mission for the village soon but failed his allies and was cast out, so what could he even do to help as he was still a small child? Then he blinked as he noticed two blacked-haired males glaring at him from across the street with disgust clear on their faces, and one even went as far as wrinkling his nose like he smelled something foul.

---Emotional Aura Level Up!---

Obito slowly tilted his head, and one of the males scoffed and turned to his friend before walking away, giving Obito a clear look at the Uchiha symbol on their back and making everything click.

"OH! I'm considered a disgrace to most other Uchiha, so that's why they looked like I had stepped on dirty sewage water" He was expecting that reaction since that was literally his title, but it still shocked him to see it in person. That small incident didn't deter him from walking around the village and simply exploring and gathering exp and even some money and treats, but it stuck to his mind like glue because the way they had looked at him was so similar to how they… " ...Looked at Naruto for his burden" His lips pulled into a thin line as his aura became sad for a moment before he reeled it in when a nice lady he had been helping take grocery had looked at him with worry. He waved away her concern and smiled, using his aura to seem happy even if a bit tired, making her think he was just tired and not sad.

---Emotional Aura Level Up!---

He winced at the alerts and at lying as he hurried to finish and head back home since he had to look over his current status and how much money he had for the future and take inventory-

As soon as Obito had said the last word, a black box with a white grid that was 8 by 8 appeared. Obito took a breath as his aura became dark, and his killer intent began to rapidly level up.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!" The birds flew off in the background, and Obito felt his cheeks burn when a few civilians looked at him strangely (And with slight fear?), and he practically ran all the way home before shutting the door with a loud bang.

Obito calmly walked to the sofa, glad that his rising anger had been calmed by his gamer mind as he wasn't sure if he was more pissed at himself or whatever entity that had given him his abilities because why the hell did he not think about opening his inventory!?!? "Now I know to check every game mechanic I know," He angrily grumbled, taking the money he gained out of his pocket and into his inventory, but instead of appearing in the box, it appeared in the corner reading $66.

Obito took the rest of the money that was given to him, making his money read $7,066 now. Obito sighed as he felt another headache coming in.

Chapter 4: Meeting a Familiar Face

Chapter Text

After the sudden wake-up call, Obito had bought some everyday clothing without the Uchiha symbol, with some strange looks from the shopkeep; luckily, ninja children were familiar enough that they didn't question him as long as he had enough money. At least the good news was that he had found a new section from his gamer abilities called settings. This includes multiple things he could turn off and on and even update if he wanted. One of them was his map and Opinion status, and a few others, but those two were his current favorite the moment.

---Settings---

Map(ON) - This allows the user to see any animal, creature, or person within the current distance. (Current distance is 300 meters, which can be updated depending on the level. )

Gray - Unknown origin
Yellow - Has met before? Click the dot to see the name of a person
Red - Has hostile intent
Orange - has a level above 80 but isn't hostile
Green - Animal
Blue - Civilian, or below level 5
Purple - A summons or other creature that is not human or animal
Custom-made - If you choose to, you can add your own dots or make it of your own design for a particular person.

Opinion Status or OP (ON) - This allows you to see how a person thinks of you by the bar above their head.

0 = Neutral or has not met you
Negative = person dislikes you
Positive = the person likes you.

Mute Sounds(OFF) - This allows users to mute their hearing.

Mute Speaking(OFF) - This allows the user to not speak or make any noise as long as this setting is on.

Status View(ON) - This allows users to see the level, health, and name of a person due to the bar above their head.

Status Reminders(ON) - This allows users to see if they unlock anything new with a small message.

Obito was happy about this because now he could tell if he was going to meet an Uchiha and stay away from them plus, now he could also see the names of ANBUs even if he couldn't actually see their bodies, which was a testament to their great stealth. When he first spotted an ANBU agent running alongside the trees, he saw a flash of a nametag and ANBU before they were gone and ran away into the village. The map was also handy because nobody could sneak up on him anymore, so he wouldn't have to worry about being sneaky to do things he wasn't supposed to know. After studying his map, he noticed there was only one orange dot in the village. After following it, he came to the conclusion that it was the Hokage due to them being in the Hokage tower, which made sense and also gave him a range of skill levels between the ranks of ninjas in the village, and it went like this.

Civilians are from levels 2-5
Genins or ninjas in training are level 6-10
Chunnins are level 10 - 20
Jornins are level - 20 - 30
ANBU are level 35 - 60
Kage levels are 80+

This made this slightly easier to keep track of people, especially since apparently he was stronger than a civilian and just barely as strong as a genin. At least now he could tell how dangerous an enemy could be, plus find people even if he couldn't see them and see if they liked him or not. Unsurprising enough, most of the Uchiha felt up to negative 15 or neutral, which meant they probably didn't know what he looked like or simply didn't care. Also, civilians were the worst gossipers, and from what he heard, everyone was getting prepared for war, but none had broken out yet, which at least gave him an area of what time he was in. And the time he was in meant he could try and help Sakumo and maybe make sure that Kakashi didn't turn into a huge jerk or just suffer in general. Another thing he found out was that the SP actually stood for Skill points, and he could use it to upgrade his skills, but not much else since his setting could only be upgraded by his level. He wasn't sure if he wanted to use his points at the moment, so he would just leave it for the time being because he had different plans for today.

Today Obito simply wanted to get his observation skill all the way to max level, if he had one, and gather information about anything because to make any good plan, you need information. Obito was also glad to his grandmother because apparently, he used to be a huge crier, so she had gotten him the iconic goggles from the anime, and a great advantage was that he could use his Sharingan if he had the goggles on because their orange tint hid his eyes but he could still see out of it, and he checked, and you couldn't see his Sharingan red through the orange glass and you couldn't. It was still strange to see himself as a small chubby-cheeked child, and with Sharingan on, he could understand why some people would be afraid because the tomoe in the eyes when it spun looked a bit strange. However, he could admit he was a really fracking adorable child, thank you, Uchiha genes, so that is probably a reason why having the Sharingan on his child's body looked out of place.

"There is also the fact that the Sharingan is supposed to be only on older Uchiha, not on children like me" Obito hummed a bit and took a quick shower, and it was still annoying to be so short that reaching the shower handle was a bit of a pain. After he was done, he put on the new clothes that he had gotten and washed, without the Uchiha clan symbol, including a gray shirt, dark blue cardigan, black pants, and black boots. He studied the clothes, feeling happy that they were comfortable and would hopefully hide his identity.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Obito quickly found that he was right. Not wearing any clan symbol made everyone ignore him or spare him a glance before turning away again. The most anybody had said to him was to apparently question his choice of color for his goggles, but if they knew why he wore them, then they wouldn't insult them. Plus, he kinda liked the mixture of the blue, black, and orange colors, which surprised him a bit since he never really cared for orange before.

"I guess being Obito did influence me then…." As much as he found it interesting, it also worried him because if he had the same mental state as the original Obito, does that mean he would still become a crazy madman?

Before Obito could dwell any further on that particular thought, a sudden shout came from him, straddling him to turn around. Behind him was a small girl with short brown hair, dark brown eyes, a large black sweater, and a violet knee shirt and red sandals. However, what surprised and shocked me was the very familiar purple markings on what appeared to be a 4-5-year-old child.

"What is that in?!?-"

"Watch OUT!!!" Obito had time to think of anything except that he found one of his future teammates before something hard hit him in his face knocking him down.

- 6 HP

Obito groaned more out of habit than any actual pain that he still couldn't feel, and then there were small hands touching him before retreating and the owner of the hands speaking in a panicking voice.

"Oh, my kami! I-i'm so sorry! Please be okay! Please b-be Okay!" Obito glanced at the girl's tag box above her head, and his suspicions were confirmed.

Rin Nohara(LV - 6) - A Pup of the Inuzuka Clan__OP=3__

Obito snapped out of his happy shock when RIn actually began to cry.

"Woah! Calm down; I'm okay- please stop crying!" Obito was slightly panicking because as much as he was a kid himself, he wasn't the best at comforting kids.

"r-really?"

"Yep! See, it doesn't even hurt!" Obito nodded his head quickly and smiled, making sure his aura came off as happy and calm. Rin took a few moments to wipe her tears and let out a relieved smile with slightly red puffy eyes.

"O-okay, Thank you, so sorry" Obito nodded and stood up, extending a hand to her, which the other quickly grabbed and stood up as well. Rin smiled and tilted her head with innocent curiosity. "What's your name? My name is Rin!"

"Ah!- My name is Obito; it is nice to meet you!" Rin paused and studied him for a moment before frowning.

"Are you sure it doesn't hurt because it's turning all purple, and mommy says that it hurts when it does that" Obito blinked and touched his cheek, still not feeling any pay, and he couldn't really see himself, so he took her word for it?

"Nope!"

"But still let me-" Rin stopped and began to go through the pockets on her shirt and pulled a bandage out of it, and began to peel it open.

"Wait- stop, I really don't need it!-" Rin suddenly glared at him, and while it wasn't really scary or frightening, it still surprised him into silence.

"No! I hurt you, so this is what I can do to help" RIn carefully put the bandage over his right cheek and smiled, looking satisfied with herself. "See? Mommy says that it helps with the hurts" Obito wanted to argue but held his tongue because the other girl looked so proud that he didn't want to ruin it.

"Thank you then" Obito suddenly blinked as a white dog that looked a bit older than a puppy but younger than an adult came running to them and almost knocked down the other girl with face licks.

"No!!! Stop it, Baugu!" However, despite the other girl's words, Rin, if anything, looked happy. Rin seemed to have remembered there was somebody else with her, and her cheeks turned a soft pink, and she tried to hold the way to bid the dog in her arms.

"Obito! Obito! This is baugu! He is mommy's friend's doggy and is super nice!" Rin's blush grew a darker pink. "And I was playing fetch with him, and rock and...hit you.." Obito now at least knew what had even hit him and almost laughed at the girl's embarrassment when it was on her blushing cheek he noticed some red outlining her cheeks around the purple marking like burns.

"Are your cheeks okay?"

"Huh?"

"I mean, it looks like the purple marks on your face hurt" Obito decided to simplify it since he kept forgetting the other kid was still...well, a kid. Understanding dawned in her eyes and he smiled nodding her head.

"Yep! Mommy says when you get A Tattoo? No Tattoo it looks like that for a bit!" Obito blinked, then blinked again, resisting the urge to groan because of course children barely out of their toddler years were given tattoos.

"Oh...why did you get a tattoo?"

"Mommy said that I had Inukuzu? Blood or something but couldn't get a doggy, so I got a purple thing instead of red like mommy's friends" Obito hummed in understanding because apparently rin was part of the Inuzuka clan but didn't have the ability to get a dog companion, so her markings are different.

"It also explains that Pup thing because that clan is closely related to dogs, so children are pups."

"Anyway do you want to play with Baugu and me and me?" Rin looked really excited before deflating slightly "That is if...you want to.." Obito nodded his head, giving the other a comforting smile.

"Yeah sure," Rin smiled so wide it caused Obito to smile in return.

---Rin Nohara's opinion of you has changed to OP = 35---

Rin let go of baugu, who had practically melted into Rin's arm as she had been unconsciously petting him during their talk, grabbed one of Obito's own hands, and began to drag him somewhere with the white dog at their heels happily barking.

Chapter 5: The Hatake Family

Chapter Text

In his opinion, Obito was making a decent process in the next year. He had learned the basics of the Uchiha taijutsu but not very well since most Uchiha hated him, so he focused on increasing his strength and speed. The Uchiha teacher was absolute crap since they told him how to do the stance and didn't even bother helping him fix his mistakes, and what was worse? If he made a mistake, they would slap him, and Obito quickly learned that talking back just made them angrier. He had never been happier that he couldn't feel pain, and he was mentally older than a child because if he wasn't, the treatment he got would have affected him a lot more. Thankfully wearing his goggles, he was able to use his Sharingan to memorize the taijutsu and practice it himself but knowing it and using it are two different things.

On a slightly happier note, Rin was an amazing friend, and by going by his clan's treatment towards him, he could see why the original Obito grew a crush on the young girl. She was kind and thoughtful, but she could be stern and serious if she needed to be. Still, for all her help and companionship she gives to Obito, she was still a child and could act a bit emotionally to certain things or not understand things that Obito did (It was such a good thing because Obito sometimes said things that shouldn't be said like accidentally teaching her a few curse words).

However, for all the training he had been doing physically, it was until last month that he was able to use his chakra for anything other than wall walking, running, and jumping (he still sucked at water walking). Even when his birthday passed without a hitch, he had been careful about using his chakra in small amounts until a few months later so that he deemed it safe enough to practice jutsus. Though even with his decent enough chakra control and training he had been doing in his backyard (thank god for his map because he always stopped before anyone got near), he was still a 6-year-old child, only physical; he was not allowed in the ninja section in libraries and into training ground without some form of permission and Obito was positive that the Uchiha wouldn't be the ones giving him persimmon for anything. He was not testing a fire jutsu in his backyard where everything could LITERALLY backfire.

"So next goal...find a training ground or sneak into one...I guess" Obito crossed his arms in thought.

-NEW MISSION-

Get access to a training ground -

Reward = 3,000 experience, Practice jutsus, access to weapons, and ???.

Obito stared for a moment at the question marks, feeling curiosity burning in his mind, and now he had another motivation to find a training ground to find out what the secret reward was. The first thing he should do was find where the training grounds for his first step and then move on from there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Obito would never admit out loud that he may have gotten lost, but only a little bit! He knew that some training grounds were abandoned in the forest, but he took a turn or something and somehow ended up on top of the Hokage heads without a freaking as to how.

"At least the view is nice…." Obito was in awe because the village looked so small and big from on top of Tobirama Senju's head, and it was still incredible that he was in a world he once considered fiction. Still, then again, he always did believe in the multiverse theory but seeing it in person was much better. Obito looked down and gulped when he saw the large drop if he even SLIP would be.

"How the hell does a toddler naruto jump from this height?!?!" Obito, not wanting to discover what sound he would make as a smashed Uchiha pancake from hitting the ground. He walked away from the edge and looked around, hoping to find some path going down to the village. Even his map showed no paths, only trees!!! Obito huffed in annoyance that even with all his skills, he still managed to do impossible things, and that was supposed to be an Uzumaki trait, not an Uchiha one.

"What are you doing up here, pup?" Obito yelped in surprise and glazed at his map, which showed two grey dots standing behind him that he hadn't noticed in his distracted state.

"Oh fuck” Obito slowly turned, feeling the faint feeling of fear and nervousness like background music in his mind, thanks to his gamer mind. The last person he was expecting was behind him. There stood Sakumo Hatake himself with a sleeping Kakashi laying his head on his shoulder.

"H-hi?" Obito's voice was slightly high-pitched, but could you blame him since he wasn't exactly planning on meeting the WHITE FANG up here?

Thankfully the silver-haired man just looked amused

"What is a pup like you doing up here? Are your parents or guardian around?" Obito noted how he was being called pup instead of kid or child.

"Ummm...no, I'm an orphan," Sakumo's eyes soften, "and I was kinda...looking for a training ground!" Obito quickly spoke, still feeling unsure as to how to act with the other older and clearly MUCH MUCH stronger ninja.

Sakumo Hatake(LV-79) - The White Fang of the Hidden Leaf_OP=10

The man was almost the same level as a Hokage which both amazed and slightly scared the young Uchiha.

"A training ground?" Whatever Sakumo was expecting wasn't that. "Why would you think there would be one up here?"

"I got...a little bit lost," Obito muttered, feeling shame curling in his gut. A small head pat made him flinch and raise his head in surprise.

"It's alright; we all make mistakes, but why do you need a training ground? Only genin or clan members can use one?" Obito debatable the pros and cons of saying his clan for a moment.

"I am from a clan" The black-haired man could stop the small childish pout from appearing on his face (curse his child body instinct). The silver male tilted his head down slightly before making a small o.

"The Uchiha then?"

"How?!?"

"Most Uchiha smell an ashy smoke smell with their own unique scent covering it." Obito was gaping at this point because that was some impressive skill. "Plus, your coloring and face only fit the Uchiha profile," Obito did pout this time.

"That's not as awesome as the smell thing" Sakumo smirked slightly before it shifted into a genuine smile when the small child Kakashi sighed and buried himself deeper into his father's shoulder.

"Follow me, It's getting late, and your clan will start looking for you soon then," Sakumo then grimaced. "And I would rather not see a whole clan of angry Uchiha looking for a pup who got lost out here," Obito also grimaced, but for another reason entirely since his clan would do the exact opposite of that. As Obito followed the adult, he studied the very young Kakashi, that looked to barely be out of his toddler year.

Kakashi Hatake(LV-5)- Son of the White Fang_OP=0_

A 2-year-old boy who is the heir of the Hatake clan has begun to show signs of being a prodigy or genius.

(Currently unharmed but tired)

Obito blinked and suddenly realized now why he had never seen the family before since Kakashi was still a young kid who probably hadn't even begun his ninja training.

"His name is Kakashi" Obito jumped slightly and looked at the taller figure. "You've been staring at him for a while now, so I thought I might as well introduce you two."

"Oh…" Obito felt his cheeks get warmer than usual and looked down.

"You still haven't told me your little Uchiha."

"Oh yeah, Obito...My name is Obito Uchiha, and I want to be a strong ninja!"

"Humm...Sure, you can pup, but first, you have to become a ninja."

"I know...but-" Obito closed his mouth shut because he couldn't say that he was as strong as a genin but not actually one. "I am training, but I can't do any real jutsus unless I have a place to do them…."

"Hence the need for a training ground?"

"Yep!"

"Then why don't you use your clan's?"

"It..is a bit hard to explain, but some older members of my clan (elders) don't like me, so I don't want to risk doing anything to make him angry" The adult-only hummed and shifted slightly to get a better grip on his son.

"Well then, I guess you can come with me, and I can show you a few private training grounds."

"Huh?"

"My son will be training to be a shinobi in the future, and having a sparring partner would be good for him" Obito blinked because it made sense, but something felt wrong about the way it had been phased.

"Did he decide, or did you choose that future for him?" Approval blossomed on the older male face, and he smiled wide.

"No, he can make his own decision but I want to still be able to defend himself even if he decided to take another path." Obito nodded as he realized he had just passed some form of a test, but for what, he was still unsure. "Come along then; better show you so you can come to visit tomorrow."

Chapter 6: Understandings and prodigy?

Chapter Text

Obito couldn’t tell whether to be grateful or annoyed at his situation. Not even a month later, Obito figured out that Sakumo was...overbearing? No...He was very overprotective and, more specifically, to children. So due to Obito being a child on the outside, he was in that area, which meant he was restricted from things he could and couldn’t do. It had been fine at first when sukumo simply allowed him to stay on the training ground by himself, but after the first week, he came more and more often, forcing Obito to stop his actual training to a simpler one, and even those were too much to his apparent child body to sakumo, and he took it upon himself to help train Obito.

Obito was grateful, but he could feel some childish annoyance grow inside of him at being told what to do ever since he had woken up. In these words, he had to take care of himself and have someone take care of him again. It was strange and weird. However, his annoyance faded once he recognized that the older male was not doing it out of pity but understanding of his situation after using his observation skill to find out his reason for helping the Uchiha.

---Sakumo Hatake(LV-79) - The White Fang of the Hidden Leaf_OP=38---

Understand what Obito Uchiha is going through since he had always been considered an outcast and alone when he was younger due to being the only member of the Hatake Clan alive.

Obito felt a little guilty for thinking rudely of someone who was genuinely a nice person who understood his circumstances aside, and it also explains his overprotectiveness toward his son Kakashi since, minus him, they are the only two Hatake alive. This is one of the reasons Obito added that he was going to protect Kakashi from his very sad and depressing future, but meeting the kid for the first time, all he could think was that he was a little smartass.

“So you are able to do things like jutsus?” A small wide, eyes Kakashi asked as he stared with childlike curiosity in his eyes.

“Yep!” Obito said, smiling wide because if he didn’t, he would be squealing at the cuteness of this child.

“But that is st-stupid since your chakra coils are not ready” Obito smiled and twitched, and he resided the urge to facepalm because why the HELL does a 2 (Almost 3) year-old kid know about that!?!? Obito wasn’t going to mention who Sakumo was laughing in the background at his expression.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“What did you think of my son?” Sakumo asked, amused as they stood inside the Hatake clan building in the kitchen since Kakashi needed to be put to bed.

“He is...very knowledgeable for a toddler….” The black-haired male speaks slowly and hesitantly. The silver male chuckled.

“Ahh yes, as you can see, he is quite intelligent for his age, so sooner or later, he will be named an official prodigy; however,” His dark brown eyes seemed to darken, making Obito get shivers. “I do not wish for him to go down the route I have seen many prodigies go down.”

“Oh...I think I understand” what Obito did because he had seen how many people used those considered prodigies for things and always forgot in the end that they were still children no matter how smart they were. Sakumo's smile fell as he looked into Obito's soul at that moment.

“You really do understand; I suppose that is why I wanted you to be with my son in the future in the first place.”

“Ummm..what” Sakumo held a sad amusement in his eyes.

“I saw the way you responded to me and how you acted, and it also appears that you are a prodigy because most kids don’t say the words you do or try to train without an adult like you do,” Obito winced. After all, this was the white fang; of course, he would notice that he didn’t want the silver male to be training with him and something else clicked in his adult mind.

“What- You thought I was a prodigy, and you know your son is going to be one, so you-”

“Wanted to have another prodigy with him so he wouldn’t be alone without friends his age,” The silver male finished with a smirk.

“Oh...you aren’t...going to say anything?”

“hmm...I won’t if you tell me why you want to remain a secret,” Obito thought over his words for a moment before speaking.

“I...don’t want to be used by others...so I want to stay hidden until I become a genin at least.”

“I see…”

Sakumo Hatake(LV-79) - The White Fang of the Hidden Leaf_OP=43

“Oh, that made him like me more?” Obito blinked, hoping his confusion wasn’t too obvious. However, Sakumo's amusement made it clear he saw it

“Anyway, now that we have that out of the way, I can properly help you if you allow me to?”

---Killer Intent Level Up!---

“I guess, but You better keep your promise!” Obito scowled and glared at the silver-headed male, who flinched for a moment before laughing, and Obito was satisfied he even managed to make the great “White fang” flinch at him

Chapter 7: Start of the Academy and Jutsus

Chapter Text

The first-year academy was...an interesting place overall, and Obito had to admit that pretending to be stupider than he was not as hard as he was expecting since, for one, the questions on the test were simple but hard enough that if he got them wrong, it wouldn’t be looked into to deeply, plus the teacher was more focused on the physical aspect rather than the writing one so as long as he did the well in spars and such but failed written test he would be in dead last just barely passing. However, in the first month of doing this, Kakashi, who had kinda become his friend? Stormed towards Obito with a displeased expression.

Obito had been training alongside Kakashi for almost a year now, and Kakashi had grown exponentially, disputing the fact that he was 4 years younger than Obito and almost as strong as him, showing how much of a true genius the young Hatake was.

-Kakashi Hatake(LV- 22)- Son of the White Fang_OP=68_

Obito was surprised when the smaller boy grabbed Obito by his coat and glared at him.

“Why?” The word was nearly growled out, and Obito wouldn’t be surprised if it was since apparently hatakes were closely related to wolves and could sometimes produce wolf-like qualities, much like the Inuzuka with their dogs, but back to the question. Obito had a decent idea of what he was asking.

“Why what-”

“WHY ARE YOU PRETENDING TO BE STUPID!?!” Obito winced at the volume, and thankfully, with his skill observe at the max level, he could now see specific things if he wanted to (the amount of SP he used to max it was insane, though)

“First, calm; ninjas are meant to be calm, alright?” Kakashi looked embarrassed and calmed down but still looked upset. “First, you understand my- Ummm, clan’s view of me?” Kakashi's eyes went darker at the mention of his clan.

“Yes,” Obito had found out that Kakashi saw him as part of his "pack" as Obito wasn't too familiar with wolf terms, so he assumed it meant that Kakashi saw him as some kind of friend and was protective over him.

“Well, to put it bluntly, I don’t want them to control me, so I am going to pretend to be what they think of me. '' The silver-haired boy blinked, and realization dawned on him.

“You are using their opinion of you against them?”

“In a way, yes'' technically, it wasn’t a lie, even if pretending to be weak was partly to stay away from clan politics, and it wasn’t like he could say that he was doing this to keep the storyline true to the original enough to save people. However, the look of awe that Kakashi gave him made him both feel guilty and surprised because, unlike in the original world, Kakashi saw him as superior or a genius because Obito wasn’t as stupid as other kids that Kakashi had met, so he in a way looked up to him. This is also why Obito could see how Kakashi would be upset at someone he knew was smart, acting like he was less than he was.

Obito smiled at the younger Kakashi and wished that he would stay like this forever, but in this cruel world, good things don’t stay forever.

“But all be damned not to at least try… ” He felt determined to protect these people because let's be real that the ending they all got and the things they had to go through were horrible.

Also, something he was grateful for was when Sakumo taught Obito how to meditate; he unlocked his mind.

Mindscape (MAX) - The ability to go into your mind and see your memories and subconscious in a physical form.

(The level had been Maxed due to Gamer Mind influence)

This was a VERY USEFUL skill because if he wanted to, he could go into his mind and watch the naruto series from his memories in his subconscious, so he never forgot anything; plus, he also used that opportunity to rearrange his mind to more protected from outside intruders. His mind was a homey-looking room with a fireplace with a couch in front of it with blankets and pillows and bookshelves on nearly every wall, and he found out that the books contained his memories and no windows, but there was a singular door that he led to a room with more books containing memories of his PAST life. He may...have done a cliche and put one of the bookshelves in front of the door, and while he can still see the memories, no one else can unless they get into the room. Obito had to say he may have spent a few hours reviewing his memories and was very glad to have watched the entire series. This also helped him make some more clear plans, and one of those happened to be on how to save Rin and also fix the Akatsuki from becoming a criminal organization since their influence can be used for good if led in the correct direction.

Now back to the academy, it wasn’t too difficult since it was only the first year, and so it was quite simple to pretend to be weak since most kids were barely reaching double-digit levels, and they even had the actual guts to make fun of Obito for being “weak,” and he swore that if it wasn’t for his Gamer mind-calming him down, he would have beaten the actual crap out of them. Even his clan, who already had a low view towards him SOMEHOW, became lower as they thought they were correct that he was truly a disgrace. All Uchihas who had gone to the academy were either the best or at least above average, so for Obito to do what he had...may have slightly...Anger the Elders, and let's just say that the training with the Uchiha instructed would have been an actual pain if he still could feel pain.

On a happier note, Sakumo had finally allowed Obito to use elemental jutsus now that he had entered the academy, which led to his current situation.

“What is this?” Kakashi asked, staring at the piece of paper that his father had handed to both him and Obito when they had arrived for their training. Obito studied the sheet of paper until he remembered what it was and immediately pushed some of his chakras into the paper and waited for the results. Unsurprisingly the top corner of the paper lit a fire showing that his nature was a fire like many other Uchiha's; however, what was surprising was once the paper was halfway burnt, it split neatly in what remained and slipped through Obito's fingers. Obito slowly blinked as he gave a very Uchiha-like stare at the ripped and burned pieces of paper by his feet.

“I have wind nature? I can understand fire since all uchihas have it, but wind? ”

“Oh, I see you already know what it is, Obito” The male in question looked up at the older hatake with a nod.

“Yeah, I have seen the paper used multiple times but never used one myself” Samuko nodded, glancing at Obito's paper.

“So you have fire as a primary nature, but you also have a wind nature which makes sense now that I think about it.”

“It..does?” Obito felt like the kid he was at the stupid question.

“Yes, most people seem to forget, but our chakra is closely linked to our soul, and this, in turn, can affect how our chakra feels.”

“A person's soul can affect our chakra- okay, but what does that have to do with my nature?”

“Well, a person's first elemental nature is usually genetic; however, their second nature can be influenced by a person's personality and morals- here,” Sakumo proceeded to make a few hand signs, and then lighting began to crackle at his fingertips forming a claw-like shape before vanishing.

“My nature is lighting, much like many before me, and while I don’t have a second chakra nature, I find it easier to do lightning release jutsus than any other,” Obito saw at the corner of his eyes with no small amusement at how Kakashi watched his father speak with pure awe in his eyes. “Each elemental, while it doesn’t say everything about a person, it gives an idea of another thought process or personality to an extent” Obito nodded, understanding what he was saying but also having his curiosity peaked.

“So what does wind mean?” Sakumo smiled

“It usually means a person who is free and does what they want and can be both gentle like a breeze or strong like a tornado.”

“Huh…” Obito could see how it would represent him, seeing as he wanted to make his own choices without anyone telling him what to do.

“Wait, dad, what about the other ones?” Kakashi asked, now staring intently at his paper with interest.

“Fire stands for a person with a strong will or passion, Earth stands for a person having strong beliefs and opinions that are hard to change, water means a person who is very flexible with their opinions and thought or no pun intended goes with the flow of things, and lastly lighting is a person with a personality or ideas that can change in a second very easily, but at times their opinions cannot be changed no matter what.” Obito made a small o shape with his mouth since that would perfectly match the original Kakashi since he went from strict to lazy, and also his thought process was changed so many times it was a straight-up mess.

“Alright then, Kakashi, you turn” Obito already knew what Kakashi's nature was going to be but was slightly curious if he had a second one as well. As expected, the paper crinkled up, but nothing else happened.

“As expected, you also have a lightning nature like me, Kakashi” Kakahi looked to be holding back a smile as he looked extremely proud of sharing the same nature as his father.

“I have a question?” Obito asked, and Sakumo turned to Obito expectantly. “How hard is it to learn other chakra natures?” Sakumo proceeded to wince and gave him a small smile.

“Not very easy, especially if nature is supposed to counter your own”

“Counter your own? What does that mean?” Kakashi questioned.

“Well, some chakra nature is naturally weak to others like lighting is weak against earth for example” At hearing that Kakashi suddenly gained a determined expression.

“..then I am going to master earth nature!”

“Kakashi- son, I don’t think-”

“No, I am going to do it; plus, an enemy wouldn’t expect me to have both lighting and earth nature” The older Hatake sighed and muttered something about genetic stubbornness before hesitantly agreeing to teach Kakashi some earth jutsus. Obito watched with sad eyes as he saw the awe and love-filled eyes. Kakashi looked at Sakumo and the way Sakumo looked lovingly at Kakashi.

“The original story wasn’t fair to them ” Obito shook his thought away and focused back on practicing his Justus, and even if he was a little slow with the hand signs, it was both strange and incredible to see a fire appear.

He even attempted some wind jujitsu and found he preferred using wind to fire; however, when Obito attempted to do an earth jutsu it was, it took a bit of concentration before he was able to create dirt wall that was strong enough to take 4 solid chakra enchanted kicks however when Obito attempted to do a water one almost all of his chakra was drained and the effort he put into one singular just felt like ran 10 miles in 1 minute and in return as he managed to do was create a small stream of water that reached 2 meters and wasn’t even that strong.

“No wonder sakumo was hesitant to allow Kakashi to learn the opposite of his nature- it is hard as hell! ” Obito leaned down and braced himself on his knees deciding at the moment he absolutely respected all those ninjas for having the guts and balls to learn their opposite chakra natures. Obito took a few minutes to rest before going back to practice the Justus, this time only fire and wind.

Chapter 8: The Future ROOT Leader

Chapter Text

Obito was currently 3 seconds away from having a heart attack for many reasons (if he could still do that). The main reason? Well, because Danzo in the freaking flesh is in front of him talking with Sakumo when he arrives for his weekly training. Thankfully his Gamer mind managed to calm him down because he could have a mental breakdown and think about his options. Over the last two years, Obito had made a decent amount of progress and mostly befriended the kid version of some of the future senseis, such as Guy, Kurenai, and the other future senseis. The only noteworthy thing, in his opinion, was that he unlocked his second tomoe in his Sharingan. Plus, he was the equivalent of an ANBU level (also, he was ignoring the fact that his stealth level currently sucked compared to what had been seen of some real ANBU).

Obito's point was that he had time before he even met the elder, but clearly, fate had other plans for him. He took a breath before using rapid thoughts to think of a way out of the situation, and the first thing he ruled out was leaving because two well-trained ninjas would notice that and be suspicious. Second, he could acknowledge them and then leave, or third-

“Yes...that SHOULD work… ” Obito took a slow breath before walking towards the duo.

“Hello Sakumo! and Ummm…” Obito pretended to think and used his emotional aura to make himself appear confused.

_Danzo Shimura(LV - 76)- Elder of the Konoha Councial_

“Oh, hello, child. Who might you be?” Danzo gave Obito a genuine smile that if he couldn’t sense other people's emotions and see how strong the “frail old man” was, he might have believed it.

“Obito! Good to see you. This is one of the elders, Danzo, and Danzo, this is Obito,” Sakumo replied with a tad too big smile, and the older Hatake's eyes flickered with something akin to anxiousness. Danzo let out a hum.

“Obito? As in THE obito uchiha?” Something told him that Danzo knew precisely who he was, and that made a cold shiver run down his spine.

“Of course! I, after all, am the Great Obito, who will become the greatest ninja to life” Then he proceeded to pose in just a cringy position that made even him wince mentally. “Oh god...I feel so stupid ” Fortunately, Danzo seemed to agree with the grimace the elder gave as if he had smelled something unfortunate.

“I see...Have you unlocked your Sharingan yet? I heard most of the children your age already have them” Obito proceeded to slump in fake disappointment and shook his head.

“I- No...Most of my clan don’t even think I can because of how dilute my blood is….” Danzo was silent, and it took every he had to keep up his act before the elder seemed to come to a decision.

_Danzo Shimura(LV - 76)- Elder of the Konoha Councial_OP=-10_

“My sincerest apologies for your troubles, young man” Finally, Sakumo spoke up.

“Honorable Elder, is there anything else you need?”

“No, I am done. Thank you for your time, White Fang of KONOHA” After he finished, Danzo turned and left as the two ninjas watched him go. Obito hesitated before saying, “screw it,” and checking the elder before he left.

_Danzo Shimura(LV - 76)- Elder of the Konoha Councial_

Sees Obito Uchiha, a worthless failure for Konoha’s future and power.
Is distrustful of Sakumo Hatake’s Loyalty to the Hidden Leaf.

(Currently feeling some arching in his arm and eye)

Suddenly it clicked as to why Danzo had emphasized Konoha in Sakumo’s title; it was because he was unsure where the Hatake loyalty was.

“Though it appears that Sakumo trusts Danzo as much as he trusts him,” Obito mused as he remembered how tense and nervous the older male had been around the elder. “Why, though? There is currently no reason for him to do so yet,” Obito decided to voice his thoughts.

“Why don’t you like Danzo?” Sakumo flinched before giving an awkward smile.

“How did you guess?”

“I have good eyes and instincts” The older Hatake chuckled, making Obito grow. “Well?”

“It’s not that I don’t trust Danzo, but...my instincts just sense something off about him, and what is a Hatake if they don’t trust their instincts? A dead one.”

“huh...You have a sixth sense?”

“In...a..way, but all hatakes are born with them” Obito tilted his head as he thought about it, and strangely enough, it seemed to fit with some things he currently knew about the Hatake's Clan.

“Is it a Clan thing? Like your white chakra?” Sakumo shook his head with some amusement.

“No, the Inuzuka also have it, just a weaker version since they rely a lot on the use of their dogs while the Hatake don’t,” Saukomo paused. “The white chakra, on the other hand, is a thing I have, not my clan; plus, I would be worried if my son got it, but thankfully he didn’t.”

“Why is that?”

“My son gets enough attention without him having a rare chakra, and I would rather him not be used for it.”

“That’s fair,” Obito nodded before sighing as he looked around. “By the way, where is Kakashi?” Now it was Sakumo's turn to look confused.

“Didn’t you get my letter?” The young uchiha blinked.

“What now?”

“I gave a letter to one of your clan’s trainers who knew you; if they could give the letter explaining, we wouldn’t don’t have training today.”

“My clan- Oh! That makes sense. They probably wanted to spite me or something, considering my reputation with them is literally -56. “

“I didn’t get it, so they must have missed me,” He said out loud, shrugging despite knowing full well what happened.

“Ahhh- I see; well then, would you like to join me for dinner?”

“A-are you sure?” Obito wouldn’t mind since he was a little hungry, and plus, he had to save his money for ninja tools since his monthly allowance was so little he had found out. It helped that Obito only really felt hungry or tired when he got injured or used too much chakra.

“Of course! You are practically part of my pack at this point, so it would be more than wrong for me not to!” Sakumo exclaimed, sounding genuinely offended.

“About that...what exactly does it mean when you say “pack” to me”?” Sakumo blinked before smiling understandingly.

“I’ll explain it on the way,” Obito agreed and followed the older male, not realizing yet how much he had changed in the next year.

Chapter 9: Team Minato Assemble

Chapter Text

Obito was both glad that graduation day had come for many reasons. The reason he was delighted was that he was now legally an adult and could now move out of the Uchiha compound and also go on one mission to get his own money so he wouldn’t need to rely on the Uchiha for money. Then, on the other hand, he was now getting closer to the mission that would mark the start of his “mission” to go and undo events the original Obito would create. Now that his supposed death day was getting nearer, his planning became more…frantic. Especially when he had originally planned to reach level 100 before becoming a genin; however, that had proved to be an issue when he leveled up to level 59 and hadn’t leveled up in more than 4 months, putting a wrench in his planning since it all relied on him getting his Mangekyou Sharingan.

“-ito? Obito! Are you listening?” Obito blinked out of his thoughts, and black eyes drifted to meet the brown ones of Rin.

“Ah- sorry, I’m just a little lost in thought.” Obito grinned, and Rin nodded, smiling.

“I know what you mean- like we are about to become real ninjas!- or, in my case, a medic shinobi,” Rin nervously finished, and Obito sighed.

“I told you before, Rin, you are a great person and will be a great medic, so you don’t need to push yourself down” Rin hesitated before agreeing.

“I know, but on another topic, who do you think we will be placed with?”

“I guess we will see soon,” Obito said, shrugging even if he had an idea of what group he would be placed in. Though he wasn’t certain since some things were different, like his and Kakashi's rivalry was different, and that was because Kakashi treated him as more of an annoyance than a rival, and that was due to 2 reasons. The first was that Kakashi felt insulted at him for acting weaker than him when in reality, Obito could beat his ass. It wasn’t that the silver head was weak, far from it considering he was level 41, which was far stronger than their teachers, but up against Obito, he felt offended.

Then there was the second reason that involved Kakashi and Sakumo's relationship. Around 3 years ago, Sakumo had gone on one of the longest missions Obito had seen him go on, and it was after he returned that everything broke into chaos. Apparently, the mission he had gone on was the same one that caused Sakumo to take his life. Once he had realized that Obito had done his best to protect the older Hatake (and if his reputation dropped even further, then why would it matter he would be presumed dead by the time he was 14). While this made his reputation with Sakumo rise to 80, Kakashi decreased to 57. Despite Obito’s best efforts, Kakashi had thrown himself, just like in the Anime, into the “rules came first” ideology and began to ignore his father in turn of focusing on his training. Obito was unsure of what to do because, due to Kakashi's new mindset, he saw Obito as…waste of space, to put it nicely. Since Obito was throwing away his potential for nothing, thankfully, Kakashi still seemed to like him enough to tell anyone about his actions because others wished he would have screwed with all his plans. Soon their classroom teacher named Kuzu? Kazu? Or something like that (Obito never bothered to learn his name since that man seemed to have a personal grudge against him for some reason), clapped his hands, and began to speak.

“Now everyone listens well! Teams will now be announced, so listen for your names and get into your groups, then wait for your team teachers!” The entire class let out excited chatter before their class teacher began.

“Team one is….” Obito ignored the older man and instead looked around until his eyes landed on Kakashi. The younger silver head was the perfect picture of calm but alert, staring at their teacher with an intense look. He had to admit that ever since Kakashi had graduated 2 years ago, he had barely seen a hair on Hatake's head. Between Kakashi avoiding their usual training lesson with his father and constantly going out on missions, the younger boy might have as well been a ghost. It also didn’t help that whenever he tried to fix their friendship, Kakashi was prepared with venomous words, and despite Obito having his Gamer Mind skill, there was no way to have enough patience to deal with the younger Hatake's attitude. Their…strained relationship, however, had upsides; as much as he hated to admit it, most of Konoha saw their argument and assumed it was a rivalry between the “weak” dead last and the strong prodigy of the leaf.

“However, no matter how much Kakashi’s stupid attitude both annoys and hurts me, it doesn’t even come close to what Sakumo is feeling,” Obito thought before grimacing at the current state of the Katake clan head. Obito had known Kakashi would end up like him to an extent, so he had prepared himself, but Sakumo? The sudden change from admiration and love to a cold, distant personality slammed into the older Hatake like a bolder.

“Boulder, huh…” Obito scoffed and leaned back in his seat, gaining a curious look from Rin.

“Are you alright, Obito-Kun?” Obito shook his thoughts before smiling brightly at rin.

“Nothing, I am just thinking about how much it would suck if we didn’t end up on the same team or I ended up with an annoying teammate,” Rin giggled.

“Obito! You can’t say that; I'm sure whatever teammates we get will be wonderful!” Obito smiled before grimacing.

“Yeah...I wouldn’t be so sure about that '' Obito could tell without turning around who it was that was currently attempting to burn two holes into the back of his head. However, eventually, Obito let out a mental sigh before grinning and looking behind him into Kakashi’s black eyes. The two stared at each other for a few moments before, finally, the Hatake yielded by scoffing and turning back to face the teacher.

“Obito…” The Uchiha turned to see Rin staring at him with a disapproving face. “Please don’t pick a fight with Kakashi-senpai on graduation day.” Obito felt the childish urge to defend himself. “I’m not trying to pick a fight with him; he was the one staring at me like a creep!” Rin raised an eyebrow but didn’t prod any further.

“Sometimes I don’t get why the two of you fight so much! You are both geniuses in your own way, so I would have expected you would get along better” Rin sighed, and Obito winced. While Rin may know that Obito is much smarter than he made himself out to be (growing up with someone makes it harder to hide things), Rin simply thought that he was a genius at physical ninja things but sucked when it came to academic studies. Though what Rin had yet to figure out was why both he and Kakashi didn’t get along since it wasn’t like Obito was screaming to the world that he trained with the White fang of the leaf. However, something that made him relieved was that Rin was definitely smarter and stronger than the Rin from the Anime, but some traits of Obito couldn’t change, like Rin's view on Kakashi.

“Still though, Rin needs to grow out of her little hero phase of Kakashi, or she won’t notice the rest of the world,” Obito thought, slightly grateful that despite Rin’s crush on younger hatake, it was NOTHING compared to sakura’s obsession with Sasuke.

“If that ever happened, I would have to put my foot down . '' Obito leaned forward on his arms anxiously as he heard team seven about to be announced.

“-Next is Team Seven! Rin Noraha, Kakashi Hatake-'' Rin let out an excited gasp and smiled “-and finally Obito Uchiha….” Rin tended to him with a wide happy, and relieved smile.

“Look! We are on a team together and also with Kakashi senpai!” Obito also smiled though it was more relieved than anything that the team was still the same as the original.

“What! How can you put Kakashi-kun on a team with that idiot!”

“I am so jealous of Rin-chan!”

“Really? I am more worried about how the other two might drag Kakashi-senpai down!” Obito sighed annoyed as whispers filled the room mainly from the other Kakashi fangirls at the team arrangements. One of the fangirls stood up.

“Sensei! Are you sure that Kakashi is meant to be placed in such a team? I understand why Rin-chan was chosen since she is the top Kunoichi, but why put the deadliest Uchiha with someone as great as Kakashi-senpai?” Obito heard laughter and instantly wished to go find a hole to crawl inside of, not because of the kids laughing at him but for the second-hand embarrassment he felt for the brave (stupid) fangirl.

“I would usually agree with you, but Team Seven is a unique team that has always been made up of the dead-last, top kunoichi, and Top of the class, meaning Rin, Obito, and Kakashi will all be placed on the same team” The teacher sighed annoyed as he explained, but the girl didn’t look satisfied. Thankfully someone interrupted the girl before she could speak this time; it was a boy.

“Think about it this way the Top ninja and Top Kunoichi can help the dead last Uchiha, so he doesn’t end up tripping and killing himself with his kunai” The class exploded in laughter, and Obito stared in wonder at the supposed “future” shinobi of Konoha. Suddenly a killer's intent filled the room at the same moment, a notification popped up in front of Obito.

>Kakashi Hatake(LV- 43)- Son of the White Fang_OP=57→54

“All of you should be silent. A shinobi should never question a superior command” Kakashi spoke calmly through the anger in his eyes and told a different story. The class went silent, and the teacher cleared his throat, and the killer's intent disappeared in the next moment as if it had never been there.

“N-Now then, L-let’s continue the team announcements….” The teacher said, stuttering slightly before continuing. Obito's jaw was hanging somewhere by his knees because…WHY THE HELL DID KAKASHI’S VIEW OF HIM DECREASE?!? He didn’t do anything!

Obito discreetly turned to look at Kakashi before checking him.

---Kakashi Hatake(LV- 43)- Son of the White Fang_OP=54---

He is currently sore from his training from the previous day.
Upset at Obito Uchiha for not standing up for himself despite being superior to the other genin in the class.

“Ah- that makes sense” Obito knew Kakashi saw that shinobi had a hierarchy, and when people did not follow it…well, Kakashi became upset, to say the least. Kakashi's opinion of him died simply because he didn’t DO ANYTHING.

“Holy- Kid Kakashi is just a pain! Is this what it is like to deal with a moody teen?” Obito leaned down on his desk to take a quick nap since their new team teachers would not arrive for another 3 hours. Obito closed his eyes and did his best to ignore the familiar feelings of eyes burning holes into his skull, realizing he would not be able to sleep with the younger male glaring at him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Obito wasn’t sure what he had expected when finally meeting one of the most badass Hokage to ever exist, but simply knowing who the man was going to be in the future filled him with nervous excitement.

“Obito-kun, I think you should calm down; you are making me nervous as well” Obito took a breath and calmed his body.

“Sorry, Rin-chan, I am just excited but also anxious to meet our new sensei” Rin nodded in agreement.

“Me too. Are they a man? A woman? How strong are they? Oh- OH! And are they a good teacher? Of course” Obito chuckled at Rin’s rambling, and the girl blushed. “Obito! That‘s not very nice!”

“Sorry, I'm just glad that you are feeling the same way I am. '' Though at least Obito knew most of the answers to Rin’s questions, he kept that to himself. Finally, after a long 2-hour wait, the classroom door opened, and once Obito caught sight of the vibrant yellow hair, he immediately knew who it was.

>Minato Namikaze (LV -79)-Jornin of Konoha_OP=0_

“Team 7! You are with me. Meet me on top of the roof,” Minato said cheerfully before he was gone the next instant. Obito stood up alongside Rin, and the Uchiha took a moment to glance at the flabbergasted expression on Kakashi's face before it quickly soothed out to a calm look again. It made Obito quietly laugh at Kakashi's look since Kakashi had been going on missions with minato for a while but probably never thought his official sensei would be him. Kakashi eventually stood up as well and took off swiftly towards the rooftop. Obito sighed, and with a shared look at Rin, they also took off running to catch up with their new teammate. By the time he and Rin reached the rooftop, Kakashi was already there, grilling the yellow-haired male for information.

“What are you here- no scrap that- did you know you were going to be my sensei!?” Kakashi practically hissed, and Minato didn’t look fazed, still keeping his calm smile.

“Sorry, Kakashi, I would have warned you, but I just learned about you being on my team yesterday.” Kakashi looked like he wanted to speak more but eventually decided better and sat down. Minato was faintly relieved before lighting up at the sight of his remaining two students.

“Hello there, sit, and we can begin” Obito sat farthest from Kakashi while Rin sat between the two of them. Kakashi glared at Obito.

“You could have gotten here faster” The ‘than me’ was left unsaid, but Obito could hear it loud and clear in the accusatory tone.

“Seriously! Does Kakashi have an inferiority complex or something!?” Obito was quickly losing patience at how Kakashi got upset every time Obito held back on something.

Minato looked curious but didn’t question it and began speaking

“Well, then we are going to do a quick activity. We will introduce ourselves by saying our names, likes, dislikes, and dreams” Rin raised her hand, and Minato chuckled.

“There’s no need to raise your hand; you are no longer in a classroom after all” Rin lowered her hand, blushing a soft pink.

“Sorry, sensei, but could you start? Since we don’t know anything about you?” Minato nodded.

“Sure. My name is Minato Namikaze. I like seals, my sensei, Konoha, my friends, and…I guess you guys now as well. My dislikes? I suppose they would be traitors, my friends hurt, and spicy foods; my dream is to one day be Hokage. Now it's you guys' turn” Minato finished smilling expectantly towards them, and when no one spoke up, Obito sighed and began.

“My name is Obito Uchiha! I like sweets, Rin, Training, exploring, and, Ummm, cats. My dislikes are traitors, liars, sour foods, being forced to do things, and people hurting those I care about. My dream is…” Obito thought about whether he should say the original Obito's dream or his own before deciding to compromise “-is to become a strong ninja like a Hokage to protect my precious people!” Minato clapped his hands.

>Minato Namikaze (LV -79)-Jornin of Konoha_OP=0→5_

“That is an honorable dream, Obito! Now you can go, miss…?”

“Ah- My name is Rin Nohara; my hobbies and likes are reading, healing people, my friends, Obito, my family, dogs, and…” Rin blushed and glanced at Kakashi, making both Obito and Minato sweatdrops. “My dislikes are mean people, not knowing how to help someone, my friends being hurt, and people I care about arguing. My dream is to be a medical shinobi.” The three then turned to Kakashi, who shifted at the sudden attention.

“My name is hatake Kakashi; I like training and my summons. My dislikes are traitors and those who break the rules, and my dream is to become a powerful shinobi of Konoha” Obito held his breath to not end up bursting out laughing at Kakashi's introduction, and even Minato looked slightly off-put!

“I see…well then, now that introductions are over, we will now move on to your final test before you become shinobi” Rin raised her hand only to pause and put it back down.

“What test? Aren’t we already shinobi?” Minato smiled slightly mischievously.

“No, your graduation was only to allow you to reach the final test for becoming a ninja, but anyways back on the topic, tomorrow I want you to know not all o you will pass or, more specifically, only 78% of your class will pass the test tomorrow” Rin gasped, and even Kakashi looked surprised. The yellow-haired man gave them a closed eye smile “therefore it would be best for you to listen to my instructions if you wish to pass tomorrow” The three leaned forward as if to listen to their sensei’s words better.

“You must not eat breakfast tomorrow, or else you will feel sick and throw up, and come to training grounds at 7 by 6:00. Do you understand?” Minato looked too serious, and on instinct, Obito agreed, nodding his head alongside Rin and Kakashi. Minato's serious face smoothed out back into a gentle smile that made the tension in Obito’s shoulder relax. Obito was impressed by the display of emotional manipulation and authority coming from the older male.

“Great! Then see you three tomorrow, and I wish you the best of luck!” The next second the yellow head was gone leaving the group alone. Obito silently wished that he had that speed before sighing and turning to Kakashi.

“Kakashi- '' The silver head in question stood up and began walking away, making an Obito groan. “Oi! You jerk! MAKE SURE YOU EAT BREAKFAST!” Obito shouted, hoping the silver head would listen to his advice, and sighed, turning to Rin.

“Rin make sure to eat breakfast tomorrow” Rin blinked

“Huh? But he just said not to.”

“Well, A shinobi should always look at underneath people's words, and if you think about it, why would you skip breakfast if it would make you weaker for the test? Plus, he didn't tell us NOT to. He said it was advice.” Realization dawned on her face.

“It is to increase the chances of us failing the test” Obito nodded

“Yes, so make sure to eat, alright?” Rin nodded before frowning.

“What about Kakashi? Do you think he heard you and understood your reasoning?”

“Maybe, or maybe not, but I don’t think he wouldn’t believe the dead last.”

“But then he could fail the test!” Obito sighed, thinking for a moment before coming up with a solution.

“We could bring something for him?”

“Yes, that sounds like a good idea!”

“Plus, if he rejects our food, we could always eat it later,” Obito teased, and Rin gasped.

“Obito!”

“I’m kidding…mostly” Rin rolled her eyes fondly.

“Alright then, fine, let's go get some lunch; I heard about this place that serves really good meat dumplings' ' Obito hummed curiously before being startled by the sudden messages that filled his screen.

>Minato Namikaze (LV -79)-Jornin of Konoha_OP=5→14_

>Hiruzen Sarutobi (LV -87)-Third Hokage of the Hidden Leaf_OP=0→7_

Obito choked and began to cough, to which Rin panicked and began to pat his back until his coughing fit subsided.

“How the hell? My sixth sense didn’t sense them unless….” Obito hoped he was wrong, but he remembered that Minato was observant as hell and if he spoke with the Hokage about his team, then…

“Well…let’s hope they don’t notice too much until I am proclaimed dead.”

Chapter 10: Progress and Changes

Chapter Text

The next day Obito arrives an hour late, and not because he hadn’t wanted to be there on time. He had even woken up an hour earlier to get to the training grounds, but then a few old ladies asked him for help, and he would have refused hadn’t the request become a mission, and mission ment EXP and EXP ment leveling up, which he direly needed to reach level 100. It was only one lady, then another appeared, then another until eventually he lost track of time and he had to politely decline to help.

“so much EXP going to waste- so much…” Obito mourned at a loss, not even worried about being late since the anime Obito had been late to the team meeting by much longer. “At least I managed to raise a level,” Obito thought on the bright side since now he was at level 60, but on the darker side, the higher his level got, the harder it was to raise it.

Obito got closer to the training; he paused before pulling the bento out of his inventory and carrying it with him the rest of the way. As soon as he arrived, Kakashi was immediately on top of him like a shark smelling fresh blood.

“Why are you so late?! Do you have no pride as not only a shinobi but a shinobi of Konoha?!?” Obito laughed and scratched the back of his neck.

“Sorry, they're just so many old ladies that need helping-”

“Liar, and here I thought you would at least make a better excuse '' Kakashi crossed his arms and looked away.

“Right, anyways, here,” Obito said before shoving the box into Kakashi's arms. The other boy caught it on instinct and went down to stare at the box in shock before glaring at Obito, but what made Obito smile more genuine at the notification that appeared?

>Kakashi Hatake(LV- 44)- Son of the White Fang_OP=54→56

“Huh, I guess there still hope to be found. '' Obito couldn’t help but be slightly relieved that he could still make Kakashi like him, even if it was by only two points because he had learned that the little things matter the most in life.

“Alright! Now that everyone is here, I will explain the best we will be doing!” Minato clapped his hands to get the team's attention back on him. Obito looked from the corner of his eyes and could see Kakashi gently placing the bento box inside his pouch.

Minato reached into his pouch and pulled out two bells, and Obito almost smirked but held himself back and made his aura confused.

“Sensei? What are the bells for?”

“I will be explaining that right now, Obito” Minato smiled and raised the bells, making them jingle softly. “The task is simple; all you have to do is take one of these bells from me, and whoever doesn’t have a bell by the time the timer reaches zero will fail” This time, Rin spoke up.

“...but there are only two bells?” Minato closed his eyes, still smiling.

“Exactly; who gets the bells by the end is your decision to make as a team” Obito narrowed his eyes at the wording, realizing that the yellow-haired male was trying to trick them, and it worked since both Rin and Kakashi became tense. Minato attached the bells to his waist and pulled out a clock, and placed it on a nearby log.

“Now, you have your instructions, and the test begins…NOW!” As soon as Minato finished, the three were off and running into the forest.

Obito sprinted into the trees and hid his chakra so he could quietly observe the rest of his teammates. He pulled out his orange goggles from his inventory and put them on before activating his Sharingan. Immediately his eyes caught sight of Rin hiding on the opposite side of the field, doing a pretty decent job of blending in with her environment but what gave her away was the fact her chakra was all over the place since he had yet to have learned how to conceal it. Kakashi, however, was the complete opposite since he hid his chakra signature perfectly, but his hair screwed him over, though, since it stood out like a sore thumb against the nature around him. Obito almost choked on his laughter when he caught sight of Kakashi glaring up at his hairline.

“Though at least he seems to be aware of it and is trying to hide it” Obito was greatly amused by the emotions he could feel from Minato. The older male felt the same but was trying to pretend he hadn’t noticed Kakashi. Kakashi had given up and decided to finally go for the attack. Minato easily twisted out of the way of Kakashi's kick, and then they began to fight, or more like Kakashi was fighting while Minato remained smiling and moved as if he was almost dancing.

“This is…quite a sad sight” Obito could feel Kakashi's frustration coming out of him in waves and decided to take pity on the poor boy. Obito took a moment to make sure his Sharingan was hidden under the tinted lenses of his goggles before jumping off the tree, ready to land on Minato's back. For the first time since the test had begun, Obito saw MInato tense in surprise before he vanished and reappeared a few meters away. With his Sharingan, he was able to see Kakashi reaching out to punch where Minato had been, and Obito was heading straight toward it. Obito's eyes widened as he realized that he would not be able to stop himself from crashing into him and simply braced himself for impact.

- 220 HP

Obito sharply exhaled as the punch landed on his chest, and he fell backward to the ground like a sack of potatoes. Obito lay here for a moment before standing up.

“Ow,'' Obito blandly said and rubbed at the spot, wincing when he felt something underneath the skin shift.

“Huh…alright, That is not normal” Obito shook his head and grabbed Kakashi's hand before bolting into the tree line, trying his best to ignore the warnings constantly opening up.

- 5 HP

- 8 HP

- 4 HP

- 5 HP

- 2 HP

“OKAY! I get it! I am injured! I know that you don’t have to constantly send me a message every time I get slightly hurt!” Obito shouted at the system, annoyed at the messages constantly blocking his vision. His wish was ignored as more warnings appeared, but Obito decided to simply accept the annoyance for now.

- 6 HP

- 2 HP

“Obito!” Rin rushed towards them with worried dripping from her aura. “Are you alright?”

“Yep, just fine, not thanks to this jerk!” Obito glared at the silver head, trying to tease, only to be shocked when Kakashi forced him to sit and glared at Rin.

“Heal him” RIm stood a step back, surprised at the sudden command and glare.

“I- what?-”

“I SAID HEAL HIM,” Kakashi repeated the command, and this time RIn followed it. She placed her hand on top of his chest, and they began glowing a soft grew. At first, Rin looked confused before it shifted to a worried one, then to a determined one.

+ 51 HP

+ 25 HP

+ 40 HP

+ 50 HP

+ 40 HP

+ 36 HP

Obito was thankful for the healing but was more curious about why Kakashi was panicking so much though he didn’t ask, pausing when he heard some soft clicks. Eventually, Rin pulled back with sweat on her brow, making Obito curious as to why she had wasted so much energy.

“Rin…?” The girl sighed, wiping the sweat off her face, and turned to Kakashi.

“This is the best I can right now, but I would highly recommend that we ask Minato-sensei to stop this test for Obito’s sake.”

“Wait- hold on, we are not stopping” Rin turned to the Uchiha.

“Obito-kun, please…two of your ribs had broken off and had been stabbing at your insides. All I did was reattach them; your insides are still damaged and bruised! You need to see a real doctor” Obito blinked. That explains the weird movement underneath his skin and how he was losing HP just by moving.

“How?”

“Kakashi punch was chakra enhanced” Obito nodded, now understanding why he was damaged so madly from a simple punch, and paused thinking before pulling up his status.

(LV - 60)Obito Uchiha - The Dead last Genin

Obito took the information before coming to a decision

“I can keep going at least until we finish the test, and Rin, don’t worry, I know my limits, you know this” Rin looked worried but eventually nodded.

“Alright, fine, but tell me if that changes.”

“Fine, now Kakashi, we need to work together,” Kakashi jumped at suddenly being spoken to.

“Why? There are only two bells” Obito resisted the urge to groan and stood up, to which Kakashi took a step forward as if to stop him but froze when Obito raised his hand.

“Don’t you see? Konoha is all about teamwork, and each team will always have 3 people, so this is a trick '' Kakashi's eyes widened by a fraction, and he thought he had gotten through the younger male.

“...what if you are wrong?” Kakashi stubbornly said, and this time Obito groaned.

“Then I will give you my bell” Kakashi was silent for a moment before giving a single nod.

>Kakashi Hatake(LV- 44)- Son of the White Fang_OP=56→62

“Fine, you may help me” Obito rolled his eyes.

“Well, I guess that is the best I will get . '' Obito looked at his map to see where minato was and saw that he was still in the field, so that gave them an advantage. Obito looked back at his new teammates.

“Alright, so here is the plan….”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“I have to admit you guys gave me a hard time,” Minato proudly said as if he hadn’t been holding back at all. Obito glared at their teacher from the log he was tied against. Just as Obito promised, they had managed to get the two bells when they worked together, and as promised, he gave Kakashi and Rin each a bell. Since he had given up the bells, this seemed like he was sacrificing himself for his team, which raised the OP of the rest of his team.

>Kakashi Hatake(LV- 44)- Son of the White Fang_OP=62→64

>Minato Namikaze (LV -79)-Jornin of Konoha_OP=14→18_

>Rin Nohara(LV - 21) - A Pup of the Inuzuka Clan__OP=74→76

However, without a bell, it led to their current situation, with Kakashi and Rin sitting on their logs while Minato spoke.

“However, I have some news for you guys. Since Obito did not get a bell, he has failed the test,” minato said mournfully. “So as punishment, he will not be allowed lunch, and if you guys even think of giving some, you will also fail? Is that understood?” The team nodded while Obito continued to shift uncomfortably against his binding.

“Who uses ninja strings on a genin?!?” Obito thought as he realized that breaking the string was much harder than normal string. The Uchiha sighed and reluctantly nodded as well, making Minato’s smile grow.

“Great! I will go report the results of the east while you guys have lunch” Then the yellow-haired male was gone. However, their teacher hadn’t left and was simply hiding since Obito could still see minato on his map, meaning he was waiting for what they would do. Obito groaned and leaned his head, looking at the sun, wondering how in the world to convince Kakashi or Rin to give him some of their lunch so they could truly pass the test.

Obito was snapped of his thinking when a shadow fell over him and blinked in surprise when it was Kakashi.

“Oh, Hey Bakashi, what? Are you going-ACK!” Obito choked when a piece of chicken was suddenly shoved into his mouth, cutting him off. He finished chewing and swallowed the piece of food, and looked at the silver head with bewilderment.

“Did you just…?”

“Shut up, and eat” Kakashi then proceeds to give another piece of chicken, only this time the Obito was prepared. Despite Kakashi's angry attitude, Obito could sense his embarrassment and worry with his emotional aura making Obito's heart melt for the care the younger male was showing.

“ I guess I didn’t need to do anything, ” Obito continued, allowing the silver head to feed him and even Rin joined, giving him some vegetables from her bento. Minato suddenly appeared and walked toward the team.

“Well, well, didn’t I tell you guys not to feed Obito?” Minato was smiling, but his aura was threatening.

“B-but Obito is our friend! We can’t l-leave him!” Despite Rin’s stuttering, her voice was determined, and Kakashi stood as still as a statue looking at his bento like it had wronged him.

“I hate to do this, but all of you…passed”

“Wait- Minato sensei- we- huh?” Rin paused, realizing what their teacher had said.

“We passed? But we broke the rules," Kakashi asked, looking like the kid he was for once.

“Yes, but Konoha needs teamwork to complete its missions, and if we don’t have teamwork, then it would be insulting to the very thing Konaha stands on,” Minato explained, and Obito was silent.

“Those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandoned their friends are worse than scum,” Obito remembered the saying that the original Obito had said.

“Exactly, Obito, hmmm, that is a good saying,” Minato agreed, and Obito blushed when he realized he had said that out loud. Kakashi gave him an unreadable look before looking away, leaving Obito confused.

“Anyways, I am very glad you three passed; now, this time, I have to report this team's passing for real. We will begin training tomorrow at 6:00,” Minato explained, and this time when he vanished, Obito could see he was gone for real since he wasn’t on his map. Rin let out a huge sigh of relief.

“Thank god…I thought we had failed for a moment.”

“Hmmm,” Kakashi said before beginning to walk away, and Rin perked up.

“I'm waiting for Kakashi-kun! We should go to have dinner together.”

“Hold up! What about me?!?” Rin looked back at the Uchiha, and her eyes widened.

“Oh, sorry, Obito-kun, do you need help?” Obito rolled his eyes and sarcastically responded.

“No, I just wanted to say goodbye,” Rin nodded.

“Ah- alright, goodbye Obito, see you tomorrow!” Obito's jaw dropped when Rin once again ran off to catch up with Kakashi, and this time Obito knew if he called her again, it would be fruitless since she was too far away to hear him.

“Did she just…” Obito groaned and slammed his head back into the log behind him.

- 2 HP

“I should have known not to use sarcasm with Rin, of all people,” Obito sighed before studying how to get out of his binds. Eventually, Obito managed to use his impressive flexibility to reach for one of his kunai and cut through the string. Obito stood up, stretching for a moment before beginning to head to his house. After all, he had to begin to move out of the Uchiha compound once and for all. Since he was now a ninja, it meant he was legally an adult (at least in the eyes of Konoha since he had been mentally an adult for a while now).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Sensei…” Kakashi grunted through his teeth while staring at their amused teacher “...this is a waste of a shinobi’s time…we should be doing REAL missions to help Konoha, not…this!-” Kakashi said, pointing towards the fences they had been painting. Obito was slightly impressed at Kakashi's self-control since he looked more than ready to attack either Minato or the newly painted white fences, and only his determination to follow the rules kept him from doing so.

It had been 2 weeks since they had become genins, and only two worthwhile things had happened. It was that Obito had moved off of the Uchiha compound into a small apartment, and his level managed to rise by 1 level. Another thing that Obito considered important to him personally was the new skill he earned that he never knew he needed so much, and he even used a decent portion of his SP points to upgrade it.

Cooking (LV - 44) The skill to master any type of cooking or food if practiced enough. The chances of creating a dish you have seen from memory are 10%.

(Sharingan Enhancement - If a user has seen a dish once with the Sharingan, the chances of recreating a dish perfectly is 20%)

Obito may not need to eat, but being forced to eat ration bars and cold sandwiches for weeks at a time when he did need to take a toll on a person. Now with this new skill, he can recreate dishes from the modern world, like burgers and waffles. He may feel slightly guilty by using his SP points that went from 93 down to 61, but once he managed to make some modern foods after trial and error. He had to admit he had zero regrets after managing to create incredible-tasting spaghetti meatballs. Though minus those achievements, he and his new team had spent the time doing D-ranked missions (chores), and Obito would have probably complained before Kakashi had these missions not been giving him EXP and for him to manage to rise a level. Even Rin and Kakashi had managed to raise a few levels, which made Obito jealous as he was only able to raise one.

“At least Minato and Kakashi like me more” Obito was looking on the bright side because he DID NOT want the future yellow flash as his enemy. Obito placed down his brush and slowly walked over to Rin, trying not to interrupt the conversation between Kakashi and Minato.

“Oh hey, Obito,” Rin whispered nervously, glancing at the duo though there was curiosity in her gaze. “Don’t you find it strange?”

“What’s strange?”

“Well…Kakashi is usually quieter and reserved, but with Minato-sensei, he is…I guess expressive? I'm not saying it's a bad thing, just that it is different from the Kakashi I know” Obito tilted his head, and after a moment, he realized Rin was right. The way Kakashi acted with Minato was more animated, and while most of the emotions Kakashi expressed were anger, at least he was expressing an emotion compared to his usual stoic self.

“...you’re right. I think it is because he knew Minato from a young age, so maybe he is more used to him.”

“Oh! That makes sense” Rin nodded and opened her eyes, suddenly looking very determined. “Do you think if I spend enough time with Kakashi, he will also be that way with me?” Obito sweatdropped

“Rin…I don’t think that is how that works.”

“ -Kakashi…Fine, Team Seven dismissed,” Minato said, causing Kakashi to practically stomp away, and Minato watched him go sadly. Rin and Obito glanced at each other before shrugging and beginning to walk away.

“Ah- Obito? Could you stay behind for a quick moment?” Minato called out to him, and Rin looked at the Uchiha like she had been expecting this.

“I guess he is finally going to call you out of constantly being late,” Obito winced, and to be fair, he isn’t late by hours. Unlike the original Obito, the most he had ever been late was almost 2 hours.

“yeah…You can go on ahead. I’ll meet you later.”

“Sure, I’ll be at the library. See you there” Obito waved at the girl before walking back towards his sensei.

“So what’s up, Minato-sensei? If this is about my lateness, I promise I will fix it,” Minato chuckled.

“While I would be glad if you corrected that habit of yours, that isn’t the reason I wanted to speak with you” Minato became serious again. “Are you the Uchiha that Sakumo trained with Kakashi?” Obito was more than a little shocked because he did not expect to be called for that reason.

“Yes? But how did you-?” Obito paused and stared as Minato’s opinion of him quickly changed.

Minato Namikaze (LV -79)-Jornin of Team Seven_OP=25→60_

“What the hell- what did I do?!? ” Obito mentally gaped at the notification because no one's OP of him had changed that much that quickly. Minato gazed soften

“I have been meaning to thank you for a while.”

“For..what exactly?”

“I suppose it isn’t common knowledge, but Sakumo is a good friend of mine, and after that..failed mission, he wasn’t in the best headspace. He was also probably affected even more because of his heritage. He told me how you tried to help him, and without your support, he would have ended up doing some..drastic actions,'' Obito winced.

“Yeah…and in another timeline, that would have happened” However, Obito couldn’t say that, but at least now he knew the reason for Minato’s sudden fondness for him.

“You're welcome. I kinda own Sakumo for taking pity on me when I was younger and welcoming me into his little family,” Obito said honestly. At first, he had wanted to save sakumo for Kakashi's sake but growing up with the older hatake made him care about sakumo personally as well.

“I have heard you are not well-liked in your clan. May I ask why?” Obito shrugged.

“Lots of reason, I guess, but mostly my parents and me, you know, not having a Sharingan” Obito shrugged even though he wasn't too sure if the clan’s hatred for Obito was truly justified, but it is what it is.

“I don’t..quite follow clan politics, so would you…?” Minato questioned, and Obito thought before deciding he didn’t care that he was breaking a bunch of clan rules (plus he trusted the older man).

“My parents especially went against an arranged marriage made by the clan to keep “the bloodline'' pure and so; as a result, they broke the clan's rules and also made a child with Uchiha blood so diluted I have no chance of ever forming the Sharingan…” The longer Obito talked, the darker Minato's aura became “...and since Uchhas are all about their Sharingans' then I am considered a failure to the clan elders.''

“I see…Is the Sharingan really that important to your clan?”

“Yeah, but even if you don’t activate it, it is kinda expected that you at least exceed everyone around you, and as you can see, I am the dead last.”

“That is another thing I wanted to ask; Sakumo said you are an incredible ninja and spoke highly of your skills, so how did you-”

“-End up as the dead last? I failed the academic tests, and it was only because of the ninja skills I have that I passed,” Obito said with a deadpan face. Minato blinked slowly once, then twice before bursting into laughter.

“Yes, yes, laugh it off.”

“I’m sorry. It is just that it reminded me of a...a friend I have and how she had almost not graduated because of her academic grades.” Minato explained before humming thoughtfully. “Actually, Both you and she are quite similar but also very different. I think the two of you would get along quite well.”

“Really? Who is this mysterious person?” Obito asked curiously, only to raise an eyebrow when a hint of pink appeared on the yellow-haired male's face.

“Her name is Kushina Uzumaki, but most shinobi know her as the ‘Red Hot-Blooded Habanero’ nowadays' ' Obtio stared in shock for a moment before pushing his surprise back.

“I-I see, but why did she almost fail?” Minato smiled fondly

“You see, kushina was really interested in seals more than any of the academy's materials, so due to that, she missed many tests but also not enough to be considered dead last back then.”

“Huh…I did not know that about Naruto's mom- wait, are they even dating at this point or just friends?” Obito paused, trying to think but couldn’t remember.

“Are you two together?” Obito asked, deciding there would be no harm in asking. Minato coughed, and his face grew a darker pink.

“Ummm…Not exactly we are going on d-dates r-right now, so nothing is really official and-” Minato paused for a moment before quickly regaining his composure as if he hadn’t been a blushing mess a few seconds before; however, the yellow head could do nothing to hide the redding tips of his ears.

“That doesn’t really matter, but how did you know about that?” Obito shrugged

“It wasn’t that hard considering the tone you used when speaking about her '' While it wasn’t the real reason why he knew, it also wasn’t a lie since when MInato spoke Kushina’s name, it was practically dripping with affection.

“Ah…Sorry about that” Minato shook his head, looking unaffected by his emotional aura, and said otherwise, showing how embarrassed he was at being caught. “Nevermind that. What I wanted to really say to you was thank you. Other than that, you can go now and meet up with your friend.”

“No problem, goodbye, Minato-sensei” Obito quickly ran off to meet with Rin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Obito had arrived at the library and spent it studying with her. Rin was a really good medic but what Rin really needed was a real-life experience. Though she had practiced healing Obito when he got injured during training, his injuries had been superficial bruises, cuts, and the occasional broken bone; it wasn't actual experience fixing up REAL patients. However, what Rin was studying now wasn't about medicine but about fighting and what were the weak points in the human body. During the test with Minato, Rin had ended up realizing that while she was good at fixing up him and Kakashi, she could not actually offer real support except for occasionally throwing a kunai or making traps. Therefore she had gone to him for advice (Which is slightly surprising), and he had thought for a moment before recommending Senbon needles. He knew Rin wasn’t very physically strong like other ninjas, but she was very agile and had excellent throwing skills. Rin had taken up his suggestion much more seriously than Obito had expected and had begun practicing how to throw sebon and where to throw them to either paralyze or immobilize their enemies. It had been terrifying to watch Rin throw the needles with such precision after only practicing for a week. It was even scarier when RIn asked his opinion of her adding poisons or tonics to her needles. They had gotten some special gloves so she wouldn't accidentally poison herself and bought some basic poisons.

“I have made a grave mistake.” Obito had thought during a training session as he was watching a poor squirrel get stabbed in the back of the neck with a sebon needle covered in a minor poison that immediately made the small animal freeze like a statue and fall from the tree on the ground. Rin was so excited and jumped to hug him in excitement. However, all he could think about was how that squirrel could be him if he ever pissed off the girl.

“Still…it’s nice to see that she is stronger for the future,” Obito mumbled to himself, sighing as he stood in front of the Hatake estate (which, at this point, was more like a building rather than a community like the Uchihas) while holding some food containers in his hands.

Obito raised his hand and knocked on the door and patiently waited for a few moments before footsteps came to the door and opened it up. Sakumo’s exhausted face met his own, but once the hatake realized who was at the door, a small smile grew on it. As always, Obito grimaced when he caught sight of the older Hatake's new title.

>Sakumo hatake(LV-81) - The Disgrace of the Hidden Leaf_OP=81

“Hello, Obito”

“Hello, Sense- I mean Sakumo,” Obito greeted and raised to show the older male the food in his arms. “I brought some food because I know for a fact you haven’t eaten.”

“I have, actually,” Sakumo denied, and Obito raised an eyebrow and activated his lie-detection skill.

“Have you really?” Obito asked once again while steeping inside and making his face towards the kitchen. Sakumo closed the door behind him.

“Yes...I had a…sandwich and half an apple” Obito waited for the notification to pop up, telling him it was a lie, only to blink, surprised when nothing did. He turned back to look at the older hatake and really looked. For the first time in years, the hatake looked almost…peaceful. Long ago, sakumo had fallen into a deep depression, and he had refused to do anything. He wouldn't speak, move, or eat, and Obito had a feeling that if breathing wasn’t instinctive, he also wouldn’t be doing it. Obito had removed any and all weapons from the Hatake's reach and had come to visit every day to make sure the hatake didn't starve himself. By that point, he was over so often that the Hatake estate was more of a home than his house in the Uchiha district (which he was more than okay with). Eventually, his efforts paid off, and the older male slowly became more aware of his surroundings. Once he had found out what Obito was doing, he tried to send him away, but if there was one thing Obito had, it was stubbornness to those he cared for. So he came back again and again until the male finally gave up and allowed the Uchiha to do as he wished. Sakumo, while he had become more aware, refused to leave the house, and Obito didn’t blame him since all people did at the moment was talk badly about Sakumo until all they seemed to remember was his one failure rather than all the achievements he had completed. It was a slow process since unless Obito reminded the hatake to eat, drink, or even shower or he would sometimes not do it. Though the worst part was Kakashi's cold attitude toward Sakumo. That had been the final straw that had caused Sakumo's depression. It was almost sad how every time Sakumo tried to reach out, Kakashi seemed to run far away, which was widely different from how Kakashi reacted angrily when the Uchiha tried to reach out.

Honestly, everything was a huge mess for that first year until Obito could finally trust that the older hatake wouldn't be any danger to himself. That first year the aura of grief, sadness, and exhaustion had been so deep Obito had thought more than a few times he was too late to save him. Thankfully that wasn’t the case, and what made his job of caring for the older male easier was how much he trusted him and eventually followed his orders to eat and sleep.

“But…he ate food on his own accord without me telling him” Obito felt something in his chest relax, and he could cry in relief. It may have been a small meal, barely a snack, but coming from a man who had especially been more than willing to starve without reminders, it meant A LOT. It meant that Sakumo was healing, as slow as it was- it meant all his effort and work had not been for nothing- he hadn’t failed him-

“Obito? Are you okay?” Obito snapped off his thoughts and blinked the tears away from his eyes. It took a moment before his gamer mind kicked in, and his emotions calmed.

“Yeah…” Obito's voice was soft and full of emotion, but thankfully he didn’t stutter. “I am doing great.”

Obito was lost in thought, thinking about the future or, more specifically, his future. He knew he would have to get crushed by that rock and would have to give away his eye to Kakashi, but it didn't mean he was truly prepared to go on ahead with it. After all, no one wanted to become half-blind or have half of their body crushed, but on the other hand, if he doesn't, that means Madara or Zetsu could choose another Uchiha to become his pawn, and then all the future knowledge he knew would become useless.

"At least if I am the one to become the villain, I could control the end results as the one causing the events." Obito was beyond frustrated and nervous about the future, but something that gave him hope was that it was proven that he could change things because Sakumo Hatake was still alive and slowly getting his reputation back.

However, while the "third shinobi war" had yet to be officially announced, it was clear that it was near with the sudden increase in ninja training and more and more genin teams going on higher and higher-ranked missions. What further supported that point was how anxious Minato was in his emotional aura despite not showing it.

- 220 HP

"Ow-!" Obito hissed as a sudden punch landed on his cheek and, on instinct, struck back and jumped backward.

"Ah-! Kakashi- Obito- Are you too okay?!?" Rin shouted in shock and rushed forward. Obito blinks and takes a moment to remember where he is before wincing when he remembers that he had been sparring with Kakashi and the silver he had been the one to manage a hit on him while Obito had been distracted.

>Kakashi Hatake(LV- 50)- Son of the White Fang_OP=68→67_

Obito didn't need to check Kakashi to know that the younger hatake was upset that he wasn't taking their sparring seriously (after all, he knew enough about the Hatake's view on things too well).

"Don't worry about me, Rin; I am fine, see? Barely a bruise left." Obito said. Rin studied him for a moment before nodding.

"Obito…you know very well you shouldn't get distracted during a battle" Minato's voice wasn't angry but disappointed, and that honestly felt worse since Obito knew how to handle anger better. Minato shook his head.

"It's fine. Just don't do that next time. Though, could you tell me what had been distracting you since this isn't the first time I have seen you drifting off in your thoughts."

"Curse Minato-sensei's insane observation skills' ' Obito mentally groaned, though he did think about his response.

"Well…The tension in my clan has been pretty high lately, and there seems to be a lot of rumors of war and…" Minato's smile faltered for a brief

"I see…I suppose I should explain to you three a few things." Minato suggested that they sit, and Obito sat down next to Rin, who sat between him and Kakashi.

"What's going on, sensei?" Rin asked, clearly noticing the severe look on their teacher's face.

"Well…I wished I wouldn't have to say this, but war is coming" Obito winced, Kakashi tensed, and Rin gasped.

"Why haven't we heard about this until now?!?" Rin questions with no small amount of disbelief.

"Mostly to keep the civilians calm for their moment as we shinobi prepare, but official war was declared during the last Hokage meeting," Minato explained. Obito paused for a moment as he realized something. A while back, Sakumo had been accepted into the ranks to teach new ninjas, which surprised Obito since their opinion of him was still relatively low.

"But with a war on the horizon, they need new soldiers and to have those soldiers, experienced shinobi as teachers ."

"...what about us?" Kakashi quietly asked in a voice barely louder than a whisper. Minato grimace

"We will also have to prepare, and next week we will be going on our first true mission outside the village." The tension in the air was thick and eventually was broken by the blond's exhausted sigh. "You three are dismissed."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Obito sighed, looking up at the entrance of the Uchiha compound, unamused at his current situation. He had been invited to come and join a celebration being held by the Uchiha for the Uchiha to celebrate the gods Amaterasu, Susanoo, and Tsukuyomi. Despite Obito not being well-liked, he had been given an invitation simply because despite how bad of an Uchiha he was seen as he still was one.

"Let's get this over with ," Obito thought before walking in. Immediately he was hit with a sense of wonder as he took in the sight of the usual plain and even gloomy streets of the Uchiha district filled to the brim with colorful decoration, laughter, and the scents of sweets and spicy foods filled the air.

"Huh…Not what I had expected," Obito uttered, baffled as his expectations of what the festival would be were blown out of the water. The streets looked brighter and more alive, with the beautiful night sky approaching the celebration. The whole thing reminded Obito that the Uchiha weren't all bastards but also people with their own culture and traditions that aren't all bad, like the entire thing with the Sharingan and activating it. He wandered around, looking with interest at all the food stalls with interesting-looking snacks. Obito eyed some skewered meat that was a slightly alarming shade of red and bought one to try after a moment of thinking. The spices on the beef smelled delicious but also burned his nose slightly with their potency.

"I guess bottom up Off-!" Obito grunted as something slammed into him and was lucky that his reflexes managed to move the skewer before it nearly cost him his eye.

"I know I am going to lose an eye but come on! Let me keep it for a little longer " Obito was relieved when he didn't lose an eye but also slightly annoyed, so he quickly looked down to see the culprit. The child who had run into him was clearly an Uchiha, but he couldn't recognize if he had ever seen the kid. However, a quick glance at the name above his head told him exactly who the kid was.

>Shisui uchiha (LV - 8) The Sunshine uchiha

"Oh! I'm sorry, mister. I didn't see you there," Shisui apologized while rubbing his nose with a frown. "But seriously, you are built like a wall! Are you a ninja? Is that why you are so strong?!" Suddenly the younger boy seemed to forget his pain and became excited, almost vibrating in place as he put his face a little too close to his own.

"Well!-Well?!!- Are you-"

"Yes, yes, now could you please…calm down?" Obito carefully pushed Shisui down and studied the kid as he ranted about how strong and awesome shinobi were. He looked young, maybe 5 or 6 years old, and looked like every other Uchiha except for his extremely curly hair, which was not a usual Uchiha trait. Despite that, another thing that Obito noticed was that the younger version of Shisui was incredibly-

"-Adorable," Obito said, and the kid in question paused, tilting his head reminiscent of a confused puppy.

"Huh?" Obito silently cooed in his head, and his fingers twitched with the urge to squish the baby Uchiha's soft and squishy cheeks.

"You are one of the cutest children uchihas I have ever seen," Obito said honestly and with barely any shame. It was, Afterall true, considering all other Uchiha children he had met acted like the world was going to constantly end with their negative and emotionless attitudes. Shisui's eyes widened, and his cheeks flushed pink before he looked off the side awkwardly.

"Thank you…" Obito smiled at the shyness radiating from the smaller male

"Your absolute welcome now; where are your parents?- or your guardian?"

"Oh! Momma is busy, so I am allowed to explore as long as I am a good boy and don't leave the district." The smaller Uchiha puffs up his chest, looking very proud of himself, while Obito's smiles faltered.

"Ummm, Shisui, right?" Obito asked, pretending not to know the other boy's name.

"Yep!"

"How old are you?"

"I'm 8 years old."

"Well, I alright then, my opinion on this mother is already very low- like who leaves a kid all by themselves?!? " Obito calmed down and cleared his throat.

"Do you want to hang out with me? You seem like a cool person to hang out with" Shisui's face brightened up before slowly shifting into suspicion.

"..but granny used to say don't go with strangers, and I don't know who you are," Obito chuckled, amused with a hint of relief that stranger danger still existed in this world.

"Fair enough, My name is Obito Uchiha; I am 12 years old and a genin. Now, are we strangers?" the boy paused before eventually shaking his head.

"No, I suppose not anymore."

"Great. Are there any dishes you want to try here?"

Chapter 12: Minato and Kushina's Date

Chapter Text

"So…you want me to train you? Why? Doesn't the compound already teach you?" Obito questioned, confused. The last thing Obito had expected after becoming friends with Shisui was for the boy to come a month later and ask the older Uchiha to train him.

"Yeah, but you don't follow the clan's teaching, and look how strong you are!" Obito sighed and took a drink of his sweet tea.

"So you followed me home like a puppy to beg me to teach you?" Shisui flushed pink.

"Uhhh…No…-"

"Shisui," Obito harshly said before going quiet a moment later. "What is the real reason you want to get stronger?" The younger boy was silent before reaching out and gulping the burning hot tea in one go making Obito wince.

"I know I can't feel pain, but that hurt me " Obito soothingly rubbed Shisui's back as the younger boy coughed as an aftereffect of drinking the too-hot tea.

"You okay now?"

"Y-yeah…sorry about t-that" Shisui took a few moments to calm down before speaking in a voice quieter than a whisper.

"I have a friend who, because of his status in the Uchiha rank, the stress of him is…is too much for him, so I want to help to ease his burden" Obito blinked, surprised at the words coming from the mouth of a literal child.

"-but then again, shinobi children are never true children," Obito thought sadly before begging to ponder on Shisui's request. Obito didn't really have the time to teach this since he was a little busy planning his "death," but on the other hand, he could help Shisui become stronger than his original self as he did to Rin, and maybe he wouldn't end up dying.

"Urg…This is a situation I do not need right now…." Obito struggled to make a decision until a mission screen popped up.

-NEW MISSION-

Train Shisui Uchiha until he reaches Level 20 -

Reward = 30,000 experience, OP increased with Shisui, and 10 SP.

Failure = OP decreased with Shisui.

"Hold on, if I succeed in this mission, then not only can that reward increase my level more than I have in 5 months, but I can also help shisui in the future! It is a win-win situation! " Obito thought excitedly and reached out to shake Shisui's hand.

"You know what? I will train you so hard that the other Uchiha will be blown away by your strength!" Shisui blinked slowly

"Thank..you?" Obito paused as his gamer mind kicked in and calmed him down, making him feel embarrassed at his small random outburst that must have looked strange to Shisui.

"Sorry about that. I just realized helping you could also help me," Obito explained, and shisui still looked confused but was now smiling at him, thankfully.

"It's okay."

>Shisui uchiha (LV - 9) Sunshine uchiha_OP=27→41_

"Alright, we will meet tomorrow at 9AM in front of the Hatake Estate, alright?"

"Yeah! I will be there- Thank you so much!" Obito watched as the boy hopped off his seat and bolted out of Obito's apartment. The older Uchiha sighed, standing up before stretching until he heard a pop.

"Tomorrow will be exciting."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ah- Shisui, you're here already?" Obito asked, surprised as he arrived at Sakumo's house a little earlier to get training before the younger Uchiha arrived. The boy in question chuckled nervously.

"I was so excited that I couldn't wait, so I came easily to wait for you." Obito blinked.

"How long have you been here?"

"...Since 7 AM…"

"Uh, I guess we can get started, now follow me" The two uchihas walked until they reached the Hatake's estate personal training grounds. When the two go to the training ground, Obito takes a deep breath.

"Alright, so to begin, I want to know a few things before we begin; first, do you have your Sharingan? And second, have you done any chakra exercises or learned your chakra affinities?"

"I do have my Sharingan though it is in its first tomoe, and I don't know my chakra affinity" Shisui paused and tilted his head. "- and I have done tree climbing though I only made it barely 6 feet…."

"What about water walking?"

"Huh? What is that?" Shisui asked, tilting his head. Obito's sweat dropped slightly, realizing that he could indeed be a genius though it was still quite strange that shisui was as strong as he was despite not having gone to the Academy.

"I suppose he could be a prodigy or…." Obito narrowed his eyes "is something else at play here? "

"Alright then, I have one last question before we begin. Why have you not gone to the Academy with the other kids?"

"Actually, I am not the only person not to go," Obito blinked

"What"

"A bunch of other Uchiha kids and my friends haven't gone, though. I don't know why…sorry," Shisui mumbled, ashamed, and Obito quickly reassured him.

"Hey! It's fine; you already have more information than I would usually know, so it's fine."

"Usually known? Why? Aren’t you an Uchiha, right?"

"Yes…but let's just say I am not very close to the clan due to my..uh reputation," Obito explained, realizing that something was occurring inside the clan and he hadn't noticed since he no longer lived there.

"Reputation-"

"Don't ask, please. Let's just begin training, alright" Obito interrupted.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A week passed, and Obito had to admit that Shisui was a quick learner as he absorbed everything like a small cute sponge. Obito stretched a bit before looking down at the younger Uchiha, who was panting on the dirt, relaxing after they had finished their daily training.

>Shisui uchiha (LV - 14) The Sunshine uchiha_OP=58_

Obito smiled when he saw the shisui level and was satisfied that he would soon reach his goal…he hoped.

"You good little shu?" Obito teased, using the nickname he had given the younger Uchiha 3 days ago. Shisui groaned and weakly glared up at Obito.

"I'm not little, and how could I be fine when I feel like I got hit by Earth Jutsu?"

"Well, you did get hit by an earth jutsu, but you didn't dodge because you-"

"THAT'S NOT THE POINT!" Shusui screamed as his cheeks turned red in his embarrassment. "The point is that you are working me to the bone."

"And yet you have gotten stronger, have you not?" Obito pointed out and smirked smugly when Shisui didn't argue. The older male chuckled, amused before he remembered what he wanted to talk with shisui about.

"I suppose it is your lucky day since you will be allowed to have a short break for a few days." This caused shisui's grumpy expression to vanish, and he turned to him with wide eyes.

"What!? Why?! Did I do something wrong-"

"No, no, Little shu. In short, I will simply be gone from the village with my team on a short mission" Obito tried to soothe the other Uchiha; however, his words seemed to have the opposite effect.

"O-oh! That's awesome! You'll g-get to go outside the v-village!" Even without Obito's emotional sense, he could still tell that Shisui was faking his excitement.

"Shisui?-"

"You know what? I just remembered that my mom wanted me to come home earlier, so I'll s-see you l-later!" Despite being exhausted, the younger Uchiha stood up and bolted out of the training, groaning before Obito could interrogate him further.

"Tch!- I didn't even get to check him to check what was wrong," Obito sighed, looking in the direction the boy had run off to for a moment.

"I'll talk to him once I return since I still have to prepare for my mission tomorrow," Obito planned before quickly gathering his tools and running home to prepare.

When he got home, he began packing the essentials Obito required for the mission as Minato had instructed; though maybe Obito was paranoid, he made sure to pack extra supplies into his inventory.

"Better safe than sorry," Obito told himself since he didn't have any information about any mission before the life-changing Kannabi Bridge mission. Obito triple-checked to ensure he had everything before taking a small break to finally eat.

"Hmmm…I need to go food shopping when I come back…." Obito muttered, looking into his nearly empty fridge for the ingredients he needed.

"Maybe I should eat out since I'd rather not have a sandwich for dinner" Obito closed the door to his fridge, finally deciding to go to a restaurant and eat.

The Uchiha left his apartment before quickly to the one place he knew would still be open this late. Obito smiled when he reached his destination, Ichiraku ramen.

"Hey, boss man! I like the Beef Ramen noodle bowl. "Obito shouted, and the older man gave his quick nod before going back to cooking. The first time Obito had come here with Rin, he had been excited to try the ramen, which definitely did not disappoint. He had also gotten slightly surprised at how young Teuchi Ichiraku looked at the moment since the canon story was still years away. Obito reached into his tool pouch, pulled out a small notebook, and flipped it to the last page he was at to reveal a page filled top to bottom with numbers and calculations.

This book was used by him to help him keep track of his money spending since he had to make sure he didn't run out of money. He didn't have a stable source of income anymore, so he had to be careful. Before, he used to rely on his monthly allowance, but he had been cut off since he moved out of the Uchiha district. He had to rely on the money he had saved up and got from the mission to pay for rent, buy tools, food, etc. However, living off the money from the D-Ranked mission wasn't sustainable for the average person.

"However, I am not normal. " Obito had been pretty lucky that he didn't need to eat all the time and that he moved into a shinobi building which meant that as long as he was a ninja, he would get a discount on his rent. Thanks to these small victories, he was barely getting by as long as he wasn't careless with his money.

"Still, it would have been nice if my system mission gave me actual money or if ninja tools weren't so freaking expensive!" Obito sighed, annoyed, and took out his pencil to begin planning his monthly expenses.

"Alright, I have $32,780, and if I subtract this and add the money from my latest mission, then I have $25,451…." Obito smiled, satisfied before he groaned and closed his eyes when he remembered he forgot to subtract the cost of the new kunai and explosive talisman he needed.

"Ah…so if I do this…then I am left with…$21,006…which means barely enough to pay the rent for next month and have around $11,000 left ". Obito did a few more calculations before sighing in relief when he read that he would be fine as long as he didn't need to buy extra weapons.

"Obito?" The Uchiha in question perked up and looked at the voice calling him. When he turned around, Obito blinked in surprise when he saw both Minato and a familiar redhead walking inside.

"Minato-sensei? What are you doing here?" Minato's cheeks became dusted with pink.

"I am on a d-date with my girlfriend" Obito blinked before smirking.

"I guess I shouldn't be that surprised since Kushina really likes ramen like her son " Obito leaned to the side to get a good look at the Uzumaki woman. The Uchiha was thrust into a state of complete surprise when he caught sight of her. He had no words to describe Uzumaki's looks except for her looking so…vibrant and full of life, like a beautiful rose!

"Holy- Why on earth did children bully her! Well, minato-sensei got really lucky" Obito was not going to admit in his life that he was slightly fangirling over the woman. Still, even he had to admit that she was very pretty and a complete badass.

"Oi! Mina, are you going to introduce me?" Kushina spoke up with a teasing glint in her eyes.

"Oh!- yeah, kushina, this is Obito, and Obito, this is kushina" The redhead's eyes lit up.

"This is one of your little geniuses, right?"

"Yes," Obito shook his head, amused, before standing up to give the couple some more room for their date.

“No, stay Obito. I don’t want to kick you out.”

“Yes! You could even hang out with us for a bit,” Kushina added, interrupting minato, who simply sighed fondly.

“I suppose that would be fine. Do you want to join us?” Obito looked at Minato, surprised that despite Obito (accidentally) interrupting their date, neither Minato nor Kushina felt any disappointment or annoyance toward him.

“They…really are good people that didn’t deserve to die'' Obito thought, and his heart softened while his determination strengthened for the future.

“So, Obito, do you also like ramen?” Kushina asked, and Obito nodded.

“Yep, though, to be fair, I do have a slightly picky selection of ramen.”

“I see. I like any kind of ramen as long as it is made properly, and you’ll be surprised how many people can ruin such incredible food!” Obito laughed at the genuine anger the redhead actually felt towards the topic.

“I sort of agree with you. People can end up ruining foods, so I usually prefer to cook my own.” Obito said, amused. Minato looked surprised.

“You can cook?”

“Yep! I can make dishes the way I want, plus it is also much cheaper for my poor wallet, '' Obito dramatically said. kushina let out an excited laugh

“I know, right?!? Sure, eating food made by other people is nice, but it also tastes better when you make it yourself!” Obito nodded, smiling only to pause when he noticed Minato frowning at something.

“Minato-sensei?” The blond looked startled and confused. Obito followed his gaze only for it to land on the financial notebook he had been writing about earlier. Obito grabbed the notebook more calmly than he felt and then put it into his pocket.

“Obito…are you struggling with money?” Minato questioned, and once again, Obito cursed minato overpowered observation skill.

“Don’t worry about that. It’s just a hobby of mine” Minato didn’t look convinced, and even Kushina was beginning to look concerned.

“Are you sure? Because you know that if you ever need help, I am your sensei.”

“Yes. I am not struggling after all. How could an Uchiha member ever struggle? I simply like math unless that is an issue?” Obito raised an eyebrow, and Minato's eyes widened as he shook his head.

“No! Of course not I was simply worried thinking you might not be okay at home, but I can see my concern were unfounded” Kushina smiled softly and patted Obito

“Don’t mind him; he's just a big old mother hen. You should see how much he talks about how proud he is of your team” Obito thanked her but honestly, I was more focused on seeing if they lost interest in his “financial struggle,” which was true, but it wasn't like he would be dealing with for much longer, so there was no need to worry them.

“K-kushina!” Minato hissed, and this time the man made no effort to hide his darkening cheeks.

“Awww…is my little mina embarrassed? Don’t worry; there is nothing to be embarrassed about since you are such a good sensei!” Kushina teased, and Minato proceeded to blush harder than Obito thought was humanly possible. All the while, Obito watched with amused eyes as he ate his ramen in contentment.

Chapter 13: Uchiha Disgrace VS Uchiha Clan Leader

Chapter Text

Obito realized 2 things in the next two weeks. The first was that going on higher-ranked missions meant more EXP and an easier time raising his levels, and the second was that war was not a pretty thing. It was an ugly creature hidden behind a fake smile and blood-stained hands. Despite knowing he would eventually have to kill, Obito hadn't been prepared for his first kill.

They had been going on their third mission outside the village to scout the borders for anything strange, only for it to go wrong and then get attacked by some Rock ninjas. Obito probably would have hesitated or stopped when he realized he had instinctively thrown a kunai through a man's throat, but he didn't. It was only thanks to his gamer mind that he managed to keep himself calm and collected to protect himself and Rin, who had frozen in shock at her own first kill. It wasn't until later that he had to think about what he had done and looked down at his hands in mild shock.

Some part of him had known this wasn't a game, no matter if he had a system but seeing damning evidence that lives in this world are taken so easily…scared him because while he may have been the hunter, it could have been different if he had even hesitated for a moment then his precious teammates could have ended up like those man.

"Obito?" Obito hummed while still staring at his hands like they were alien objects. Minato sighed and sat down next to him.

"Kakashi and Rin have gone to bed…you should go and get some rest…." Obito didn't respond or feel the energy to fake being excited or happy. He just felt…wrong because now he was a killer, and there was no going back, but what scared him more was that despite his shock at his actions, deep down, he felt a sense of satisfaction because killing simply 3 people had caused him to rise 2 levels.

"I know…" Obito sighed and leaned his head back to look at the stars.

"Huh…I never knew stars could be that bright and beautiful…." Obito mused, staring at the sparkling lights in an effort to distract himself.

"Obito…please look at me," Minato asked gently, and Obito knew that he could stop this conversation if he simply told Minato…but he didn't and looked at the older man.

"I know what you must be feeling, guilt, shock, horror, maybe even numbness" Obito listened quietly into Minato's eyes, but the man seemed to be looking off somewhere, lost in a memory. "...but the worst sensation must be that small part of your heart that feels relief and joy at the power you have over another at how easily you could take them down…." Obito stared at the man with his jaw open because he was right, but how could Minato, of all people, feel like him during their first kill?

"How?..." Minato gave him a sad smile.

"This usually comes as a shock to many, but I am a civilian-born shinobi. It was only due to luck that I managed to be accepted into the ninja academy, and only then did my luck change." Minato closed his eyes briefly.

"Back then, kids who didn't come from a clan weren't as widely accepted as now, so I was always considered lesser than them; so when I had shown an affinity for being a shinobi, the power…got slightly into my head."

"What do you mean?" Obito asked, confused but curious because this was never told in the anime or manga.

“I became drunk on my newfound power, and it wasn’t until I killed the first shinobi that I came back to my senses,” He regretful “I realized that no matter how skilled I was human, just like my opponent,” Obito thought about the story he had been given and strangely? It made sense.

“After all, any kid who found out he was better than his elders would become arrogant” Obito tried his best to keep his eyes from drifting off to the sleeping hatake at the thought.

“I see…” Obito muttered, and he did understand where he was coming from, but the part that truly helped Obito was the understanding that Minato wasn’t perfect, and neither was he. “Thank you, minato-sensei, this…really helped” Obito smiled gratefully, and minato returned the smile.

>Minato Namikaze (LV -79)-Jornin of Konoha_OP=65→78_

“You’re welcome, Obito. Now let’s go get some rest, alright? We have a long journey back to Konoha '' Obito agreed and went to sleep and while he was still troubled by his actions, talking with minato made him feel better.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Obito-sensei…what in the world did you do?” Obito paused his shuriken training and turned around to scold Shisui but paused when he saw the look on the boy’s face.

“W-what do you mean?” Obito asked as he was looked upon him in awe and was so grateful that the words he had been about to say almost got caught in his throat.

>Shisui uchiha (LV - 22) Sunshine uchiha_OP=58→70_

“Honestly, I don’t really know, but whatever you did to make Fugaku-sama really help Itachi '' Obito blinked and made a small ah when he realized what must have happened.

A little while after he had begun training shisui, he ended up meeting Itachi. The boy had apparently followed shisui out of curiosity about where his friend had been going. Obito could be forgiven when his first reaction to seeing the future badass Uchiha was to pitch and squish his cheeks. Itachi was just such a cute 5 almost 6-year-old that he couldn’t resist. Itachi was very quiet, which wasn’t all that surprising but also still had that child-like curiosity about him. More about than not, the Uchiha heir came to watch Obito teach (pummel) shisui into the floor, and Obito did not mind one bit because with the younger Uchiha, there shisui seemed to improve even faster, and before he knew it, he had completed his mission and risen to Level 73. He even gained a new title that, when equipped, allowed him to more easily and efficiently help teach another person more, so it was a very helpful reward. It was sort of ironic that Obito would end up becoming a teacher, but he really enjoyed it, so he kept teaching shisui. Obito one day had decided to do something nice for the boy and had brought him a gift.

“Oh! Itachi, hello!” Obito greeted before his eyes narrowed.

“Where shisui? Don’t tell me he is trying to skip Training today” Itachi blinked for a moment before shaking his head.

“No, shisui-san is ill, so he told me to tell you he can’t come,” Obito sighed.

“That’s fine; maybe I’ll bring him some soup later- Oh!’ Obito walked over and picked up a bed he had brought with him, and handed it to Itachi. “Here, as a gift for you! A homemade slice of my strawberry cake. For being a good kid, much better than all the complaining shisui does! Ungrateful brat!” Obito teased, only to frown when none of Itachi's usual small smiles appeared when he made a joke. Instead, the Uchiha heir was staring at the box with eyes as big as dinner plates.

“Itachi?...”

“...Thank you…” Itachi whispered, and there was so much happiness and joy radiating off of him at such a small gift that it left Obito baffled. He knew there was something going on with Itachi, and he had seen so many signs away, but that one made him watch the boy closer. He had silently watched and seen Itachi training, and it was exactly like how he used to be “TRAINED” before he left the Uchiha district, and unlike him, Itachi wasn’t an adult or couldn’t feel pain. However, the final straw on the camel's back was when the next day, Obito hugged the boy Itachi had simply…let go.

Itachi had first tensed in his arms, but after soothingly rubbing his back, Itachi MELTED like a pile of goo.

“There there…you can relax and let go….” Obito muttered softly, and Itachi seemed to relax even further, making a pretty good impression on those relaxed cats when they got pets. He easily picks up the smaller Uchiha and brings them to a cozy spot under a tree’s shade, where they peacefully rest for the next few hours. Obito was an affectionate person though he may usually not appear that way, so it meant he had hugged many people.

>Itachi uchiha (LV - 14) The Uchiha heir_OP=20→44_

He had hugged people who were just as affectionate as him to touch-starved people. Itachi was not a touch-starved person, but it is a very close thing, and he will reach that level if nothing changes. So when Itachi was getting ready to leave, he asked if he could go with him, and the smaller Uchiha agreed, radiating contentment. It was only when they reached the Uchiha entrance that Itachi's happiness decreased by a fraction.

“Goodbye”

“Bye bye Itachi-chan! See you later” The boy didn’t so much as twitch at the nickname, but he couldn’t hide the slight embarrassment that appeared in his aura. As soon as Itachi was out of sight, Obito's smile dropped, and he looked to his map, searching for where Fugaku and Mikoto eventually, when he found them; he sneakily went past all the other Uchiha until he reached their door. He knocked on the door, and after a few moments, Mikoto opened the door. He had met the woman and her husband once before when he had been in the process of moving out of the Uchiha district.

>Mikoto Uchiha (LV - 62)The Uchiha’s Clan leader’s Wife_OP=5_

“Itachi- oh, hello, Obito-kun. I thought you were my son, my apologies.”

“It’s fine. Is Fugaku-sama here?” Mikoto tilted her head slightly

“Yes? Why?”

“I need to speak with him- actually scratch that both of you to something concerning that has come to my attention.”

“I see..come on in” The Uchiha woman bit her lit, looking worried. Obito was led into a large office room with the Clan leader himself sitting off on one side, working on some paperwork.

>Fugaku Uchiha (LV - 65) The Uchiha Clan Leader_OP=0_

“Dear, someone is here to see you” The older male Uchiha looked up with furrowed brows only to relax when he caught sight of Obito.

“Ah, Obito, what are you doing here?” Fugaku asked while half his attention was focused on the papers on his desk.

“I have come to discuss some concerns about Itachi-”

‘Itachi is of no concern to you, so if that is it, leave” Obito frowned

“Fugaku-sama, I humbly ask that you listen to me. Itachi isn’t doing well and-”

“Obito, my son is fine, and you are in no position to say anything about him” Frustration bubbled in Obito's chest when the man, who wasn’t even looking at him, remarks.

“You know what? I’ll just get straight to the point. Both of you are not only neglecting your son but damaging his mental and physical health,” Obito says, seeing the immediate results of his words.

>Fugaku Uchiha (LV - 65) The Uchiha Clan Leader_OP=0→-8_

“Obito…” The female Uchiha warned him, but Obito wasn't going to back down so easily.

“Did you know your son’s condition, oh-so-great clan leader?” Fugaku activated his 3 tomoe Sharingan and stared down at Obito.

“You speak out of line, CHILD.”

“No, I speak within my rights as an Uchiha when there is an issue with the clan” Mikoto radiated waves of worry and reached a hand, trying to push him back, but Obito shook it off.

“I don’t think you no longer have that right, considering you abandoned the Uchihas first” Obito ground his teeth, and for the first time since he had gotten his KI skill, he used it. He unleashed ways of killer intent, and almost immediately, both uchihas began guarded and tense.

“You treat your son like a tool and a full-grown shinobi when you forget that he is still a child” Fagaku opened his mouth, but Obito glared at him. “A child who knows how to use freaking weapons like an expert but becomes confused when given a simple toy. A child who receives a hug and becomes so happy over such a small thing. A child who gets a simple cake as a gift and looks like he wants to cry. Do you know what the worst part is?”

>Fugaku Uchiha (LV - 65) The Uchiha Clan Leader_OP=-8→-14_

“...” Fagaku didn’t ask, but Obito wasn’t expecting him to.

“The worst thing is his so-called Training. He is freaking beaten black and blue in this so-called Training.”

“... Training must be tough at times. It is what is it-”

“No. I know abuse very well, and I also know what it is like being trained and your very own flesh and blood being broken right under your nose.” Anger rose in Fugaku’s face, and probably the only thing holding him back was the fact that Obito was a child and that he was concerned. Even if it was very small, the older Uchiha cared.

“You know nothing-”

“-And you know even less. I understand that you wouldn’t help me or even couldn’t, but if you can’t help your own son, then what kind of parent are you?” Obito asked, genuinely curious, and finally allowed his killer's intent to fade away. The younger Uchiha sighed, looking straight into the older male’s sharing with his own. He heard both Mikoto and Fugaku’s breath hitch at sight.

“If you really don’t believe but care even a LITTLE bit, then go secretly and watch Itachi's training tomorrow.” Obito didn’t wait for a response and left after that, not wanting to find out the consequences of his utter disrespect for the clan leader (even if it was for a good cause)

“Obito? Obito!” Shisui called him and snapped Obito out of his flashback.

“Sorry, I think I may sort of know what happened? But just in case, explain to me what changes occurred”

“Well, Itachi’s weird and mean trainer was apparently in really bad trouble alongside a bunch of other people, and so now Fugaku-sama is going to be the one teaching Itachi, and that made him really happy! Since you know, Itachi-kun looks up to his dad a whole bunch!”

“I can imagine '' Obito was surprised but what did surprise him was that he had managed to get through the prideful older Uchiha. Though hearing the story at least explained why Fugaku’s OP with him is now at -7.

“But that still doesn’t explain why you think I had a part in this”

“Well…Itachi told me it was you because this happened after you walked him home.”

“So Itachi found out, not you,” Obito stated, and shisui fidgeted awkwardly.

“Maybe?... Yeah,” The older man snorted.

“I think we should start focusing on the mental aspect of training more.”

“What!?! NO!” Shisui looked horrified, and Obito understood the pain of doing homework very well.

“I know, but a shinobi can’t only on their brute strength” shisui opened his mouth only to shut it a moment later and let out a disgruntled mumble.

“I know…doesn’t make me like it anymore” Shisui then shook his head and gave Obito a small glare.

“You still didn’t answer my question from earlier.”

“Which was…?”

“What you did to Fugaku-sama”

“Ah,” Obito paused, “I may have shoved his mistakes into his face and maybe slightly threatened him?” Shisui froze

“WHAT!?!? ARE YOU CRAZY!!!” Obito winced at the response, which was the exact same one he had gotten from both Rin and Sakumo when he told them. He knew his actions were stupid, but he was just so frustrated and angry that he snapped. His explanation fell on deaf ears, and he got scolded by Rin for an hour and Sakumo for nearly 4.

“Yeah…I may have been told that a few times.”

“Well yeah! You could have gotten hurt, or even worse, the elders might do something bad to you!” Obito's eyes softened at shisui’s worried look, and he couldn’t resist racing over and ruffling the boy’s curled hair.

“Don’t worry. They can’t do much to me, and honestly? The worst they could do to me is disown me or restrict mission clearance,” Obito assured the younger boy and eventually calmed down.

“I guess you're right…So what are we going to do today?”

“We will do some basic training today, then go over to my place and study a little bit about strategy and planning.” Shisui blinked.

“Huh?” Obito rolled his eyes, amused.

“You were sick until recently, so we will be taking it easy for today” Shisui looked up at Obito with sparkling eyes.

“Does that mean I can have your special hot chocolate?”

“Really?- You know what, yeah, sure,” Obito agreed but couldn't help but think at how much people seemed to enjoy the hot chocolate he made.

Chapter 14: Friends

Chapter Text

"Rin! Calm down! PLEASE," Obito screamed with his voice going high-pitched as he attempted to dodge the senbon covered in poison. Obito ducked down and flinched when he heard the projectiles barely miss his ear. The situation Obito found himself in was quite ironic if he had to be honest. He had wanted to go and spar with Rin and see how far her talents had developed. After all, her level had increased by over 10, which was a great accomplishment for Rin since she did it with her own work and not because she was a genius or anything.

>Rin Nohara(LV - 44) - Medic of Team 7__OP=79__

However, being the kind girl, Rin was too hesitant to actually go full out on him, so Obito decided to help by insulting and angering her. He had insulted both Kakashi and dogs from her clan, and barely a minute passed before Rin flew into a fury.

>Rin Nohara(LV - 40) - A genin Shinobi Konoha__OP=79→78__

"OBITO!" Rin shouted furiously, and Obito was beginning to have some serious regrets about his actions because this wasn't the original damsel in distress Rin from the anime; this was a medic who had trained her healing skills to their max and even trained her body to defend her teammates from becoming injured in the first place. Obito repeats the same thought he had when he first began to teach Rin.

"I have made a mistake," A mistake that is now being used against the very person who taught her to use it. "However…" Obito narrowed his eyes as he studied Rin and her technique. Now having gotten used to the surprise attack, he was easily evading her blows since, despite Rin's increased strength, Obito was not only more mentally experienced but also much stronger. Her attacks, while they may not have a lot of strength, were incredibly precise and deadly, and Obito couldn't help the brief flicker of pride at his friend. After a few minutes, realization dawned on Rin's face.

"Y-you were trying to provoke me, weren't you?" Obito smiled, feeling even prouder as Rin realized his action on her own.

"Yes, how did you know?" Rin scoffed, crossing her arms.

"You would never insult Kakashi or me for any harmful reason," Obito was taken back.

"Huh?"

"Oh, don't pretend, Obito-kun, you are sometimes way kinder than you think, and you may tease and such, but never to harm."

>Rin Nohara(LV - 40) - A genin Shinobi Konoha__OP=78→80__

Obito was slightly surprised, and sure he had a soft spot for his precious people, but he honestly thought that he wasn't as kind as Rin was portraying him since, after all, he could be quite ruthless when he wanted to be.

"Hmmm," Obito could see that his care for these once fictional characters was way larger than he had expected, and it was strange, but so was his whole reincarnation into a new world.

"I suppose you may be right, but I am also surprised at how fast you got upset when I mentioned Kakashi," Obito said, a little disappointed but not surprised by her crush.

"Oh…well, I guess I took offense when you insulted Kakashi's skills since he is going to become a jonin in 3 weeks" The Uchiha's brains short-circuited for a moment he processed the information.

"W-what!?! He is!?!?" Obito should have realized it since Kakashi was almost 9 and 10 years old, and that is when he became a jonin but still. It felt strange and wrong to imagine that a child had already witnessed so much, and Obito didn’t count since he was mentally much older than any of his peers.

"Wow…time really passes when you are busy, and to think it feels like just yesterday since we genin," Obito told Rin, and the girl nodded. Obito had been excited to do the chunin exams, but due to the war, they did a simple written test and then a fight against each other.

"Which wasn't dramatic at all compared to Naruto's chunin exams'' Obito thought, and even though he had been promoted for nearly half a year, he still felt like a genius.

“Anyways, we should meet with minato-sensei for our group meeting,” Rin said, and Obito agreed.

“We should, oh and rin?”

“Yes?”

“You are doing really well. '' Rin paused, and her eyes became slightly shining.

“R-really? Thank you, Obito.”

>Rin Nohara(LV - 40) - A genin Shinobi Konoha__OP=80→81__

“You're welcome; now let’s go. I’d rather not get scolded by Kakashi today.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Oh, looks like you have decided to arrive on time,” Kakashi spoke, rolling his eyes when both he and Rin arrived.

“Yeah…I was hanging out with Rin, so we decided to come together. '' Obito smiled sheepishly, and Kakashi was not impressed.

“So you are only on time due to Rin. Well figures”

“Now Kakashi-kun, no need to be so harsh. After all, this is a special occasion. You have been chosen along with a few others to join jonin earlier,” Minato said cheerfully and did nothing to hide his pride in his student.

“Oh yeah, congratulations, Kakashi” Obito was genuinely happy and proud of the hatake. The silver head stared at Obito for a moment before scoring and looking away.

“Whatever…it’s not like your opinion matters.”

>Kakashi Hatake(LV- 57)- The Prodigy Hatake _OP=70→71_

“Yeah, of course, it doesn’t. '' Obito was more than a little amused at the contradiction between Kakashi's actions and his action thoughts. The Uchiha was slightly surprised when he saw Kakashi slowly changing back into the smartass yet caring kid he used to know. One of the biggest changes was Kakashi and Sakumo's relationship. Kakashi is still tense around the older hatake, but now Kakashi stays in the same room with him, and they even have dinner together sometimes. It doesn’t matter if there is still tension in the air since, after all, it is progress, so Obito considered it a win.

“Anyways! We have a mission to infiltrate an Iwa campsite and look for any important information.`` Minato turned serious. “This is an A-rank mission that requires absolute stealth, and we are not to kill or attack unless absolutely necessary, understood?” The team lets out a chorus of agreement, and Minato's expression leans into something calmer.

“Great, now we have to head out before they end up moving camps.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The mission goes smoothly, well, minus Rin almost getting seen when they were leaving, but otherwise, everything ends up going fine. They arrive at the gates tired from the nonstop running but otherwise uninjured.

“You know, Rin, you have gotten really strong these last few years! I am greatly impressed,” Minato mentions, and Rin has a pleased smile on her lips.

“Thank you! I couldn’t have done it without Obito-kun! He’s the one who gave me advice using the senbons” Obito tensed when Minato gave him a thoughtful look.

“Really now?”

“RIN, SHUT UP!!! You are blowing my idiot cover!” Obito mentally screamed, but of course, Rin did not hear his pleas. Kakashi looked over, and Obito knew he was doomed when he could sense Kakashi's amusement.

“Yeah, Obito even helped train me with my dad- father” Obito stared at Kakashi with a betrayed look, and it only caused the silver head’s amusement to rise.

>Kakashi Hatake(LV- 57)- The Prodigy Hatake _OP=71→73_

>Minato Namikaze (LV -79)-Jornin of Team 7_OP=78→80_

“Hmmm…Is Obito-kun already a great teacher? Then maybe you’ll enjoy having your own squad of cute little genin when you're older,” Minato teased with a hint of pride in his voice. Obito ducked his head in embarrassment because the future Yellow flash complemented HIM!

“Thank you-”

“Obito! Your back!” The Uchiha in question whipped his head around to spot shisui running towards him with Itachi silently trailing behind him. Obito blinked; it was only because of his reflexes that he managed to catch the younger Uchiha when he leaped forward to hug Obito.

“Shisui? What are you doing here?” Obito adjusted his grip to hold the smaller Uchiha in his arms.

“We can because we heard you were coming back today and wanted to hang out, especially since Fugaku-sama finally said it was okay for Itachi to come to see you again.” Obito signed fondly before looking down and patting the Uchiha heir on the head. Itachi’s expression did not change, but his aura became lighter with a small bit of affection.

>Itachi uchiha (LV - 14) The Uchiha heir_OP=58—>60_

“What did you even do to make him change his mind?” Shisui pouted.

“What makes you think I got him to do anything!?” Obito snorted at the question and turned to his team for a quick moment.

“Sorry about this, minato-sensei. These little rascals can be very impatient, and by they, I mean just shisui-” The smaller Uchiha pouted, but Obito didn’t even skip a beat “-so I'll see you guys later.”

“It’s fine. I’ll send your share of the money to your house Obito-kun so have a good day,” Minato said, smiling.

“Bye, Obito '' Rin waved at him while Kakashi started before mumbling a soft goodbye. Obito walked away with shisui in his arms and Itachi toddling behind him.

“So…what do you two want to do?” Obito questioned their responses. Shisui opened his mouth to speak, but surprisingly Itachi beat him to the punch.

“I think that we should let Obito nii-san get a little rested before we go do anything” Obito tilted his head.

“It’s fine; I’m not that tired, so-” The older Uchiha paused as his brain finally processed what Itachi called him. “I- what?” Itachi made a small confused frown that was much cuter than it should have been.

“What’s wrong, Obito nii-san.”

“That- Why are y-you calling me that?” Obito slightly stuttered, and his voice was much higher than he was comfortable with, but honestly, the name he was being called was melting his brain into a pile of confusion. If anything, his answer seemed to make Itachi even more confused.

“Obito nii-san is Obito nii-san,” Itachi said as if that was a fact, as much as the sky is blue and the grass is green. Suddenly shisui burst out into laughter and shook so hard that Obito almost dropped him.

“HAHA! Look at your face! You look so lost and confused!” Itachi was now getting slightly agitated, looking between shisui and Obito with a lost puppy look.

“I don’t understand…what did I do?” Itachi questioned with enough panic for Obito to snap off of his daze.

“No! No! You did nothing wrong; it's just I was surprised you would call me that, considering we aren’t brothers” Itachi calmed down and instead was confused.

“Does that mean I can’t call you nii-san?”

“Ummm…” Obito was about to reject being called that, but once he saw the disappointment on both Itachi's and Shisui's faces, he quickly retraced his steps ``S-sure! You can call me whatever you like, alright?” Immediately the two faces (well, the aura in Itachi's case) brighten up with joy.

>Shisui uchiha (LV - 22) Sunshine uchiha_OP=67→76_

>Itachi uchiha (LV - 16) The Uchiha heir_OP=60→71_

“haha…I guess i could be called worse things'' Obito's sweat dropped, but deep down, he was quite touched at the two younger Uchiha's view of him. It made Obito feel slightly guilty for the emotional roller coaster he would put them through once he “Died.” Obito paused when a sudden thought entered his mind.

“Hey…I have a question for the two of you, and feel free to not answer if you don’t want to.”

“Hmmm? Sure, what is it?” Shisui asked, and Obito bit his lip.

“Well…how did you activate your Sharingan?” Shisui tensed in his arms, and Itachi's face became more closed off.

“Uh- Remember, I said you don’t have to answer, so-” Shisui shook his head, cutting the older male off.

“No..it's fine. I don’t know about Itachi, but I don’t mind sharing” Obito was silent and patiently waited for Shui to speak while they walked to Obito's house.

“I unlocked my first tomoe when I saw my dog die when some mean men decided to kick him to death…and my second tomoe I unlocked when papa when on a m-mission and never c-came back” Obito had been unlocking his front door but stopped when a chilling realization came upon him.

“Hold on, Shisui, is that why you get scared every time I go on a mission?”

“N-No!” Shisui denied it, but Obito's lie detection skill went off, and the confirmation made Obito suddenly feel sick to his stomach.

“Ah- Sorry then,” Obito replied, but his mind wasn’t with him. Itachi suddenly spoke up in a soft voice in a tone that shouldn’t have been on a child.

“My father and I went on a mission to practice my skills, and an enemy tried to assassinate me while my father's back was turned. I killed him” Obito and shisui stared at the younger boy with looks of shock and horror.

“W-what? Itachi?” Shisui leaped out of obito’s arms and wrapped himself around the smaller Uchiha in an octopus hug. “I’m so sorry! T-that must have been horrible!” Itachi said nothing, but he held onto shisui with more strength than necessary. Obito stared at the two, kinda regretting bringing up the topic and causing such a tense and sad atmosphere.

“What do I do? How do I fix this?” Obito thought, and an idea came into his mind.

“Hey” The two uchihas turned to Obito in alarming synchronism. “How about we go do some cuddling, and I'll read you two a story?”

“Yes, Please!” Shisui beamed at the older uchiha “Oh! Can we also have some sweets?” Obito smiled softly because he knew that shisui was acting not for himself but rather for Itachi, who had one of the biggest sweet teeth he had ever seen.

“Sure, I think I have some leftover mochi and carrot cake,” He offered, and shisui’s face scrunched up in mock disgust.

“Carrot cake? Why in the world are you trying to ruin cakes by adding vegetables?!” The boy faked gagging, and Obito rolled his eyes.

“I think you shouldn’t say that after all you have already eaten then and said it was delicious” The younger Uchiha gasped dramatically.

“No! NO! My life is ruined” All of a sudden, a soft laugh ran through the air, but the shocking part was that the laughter did not come from either Obito or Shisui.

“Is he..?” Obito whispered to shisui.

“Yeah..” Shisui whispered back. Itachi, the most blank-faced Uchiha ever, was laughing. Afterward, neither shisui nor Obito made any comments about Itachi's laughter and instead opted to go ahead and simply relax together.

“This…is very nice….” Obito thought, staring with soft eyes at the two uchihas curled up, sleeping against him on the couch. The two kids were calm and sleeping so peacefully that he didn’t have the heart to wake them up. However, now that everything was silent and calm, Obito couldn’t help but let his earlier thoughts come back to haunt him. The two younger uchihas cared for him; that much was clear, but if Obito had to fake his death, then…

“How would this end up affecting them ?” Obito frowned, and a ball of guilt formed in his stomach. He knew how Rin, Kakahi, and even Minato would react, but how about the new people he made friends with that the original Obito didn’t make? How would his death end up affecting shisui? Itachi, and what about sakumo?

Obito couldn’t stop himself from wincing at the last person because he knew that sakumo wasn’t the strongest mentally or emotionally. However, Obito couldn’t simply stop because otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to stop Black Zetsu’s plan, or another innocent person could end up in the original obito’s place. Obito was the best choice and the most prepared for this path since he had been preparing for it for literal years.

“I have to do it…even if it hurts the people around me for a short while, it will be better than the future that would have happened to them ” Despite obito’s promise and decision, it didn’t make that small bit of guilt go away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two weeks had passed, and Obito had decided that since he would soon be “dead,” he would spend more time with his dear friends, which is why he invited his team to come to lunch with him, sakumo, and shisui. Unsurprising, Kakashi refused and went to do training. Minato had regretfully refused because he had a private mission to go on, but at least RIn was free and happily accepted his invitation. Obito decided to go and hang out at Yakiniku Q, and it was only after everyone had gotten there that he realized that Rin had never officially met sakumo or shisui and vice versa. Regardless of that, the trio got along surprisingly well (...after shisui and Rin had gotten over their hero worship by meeting the White fang).

“What made you decide to become a medic shinobi Rin-chan?” Sakumo asked. Rin smiled at the older hatake.

“Well…I suppose It was mostly because my mom is a caretaker for many of the dogs in my clan, but as I got older, I realized I could help heal my friends and family if they got injured.”

“I see. That is a very honorable dream to have,” Sakumo returned the smile.

“What im yurm drem?” Shisui mumbled with a mouthful of beef, and Obito groaned.

“Little Shu, finish eating before speaking! It’s very disrespectful” Shisui shrugged but at least finished eating before repeating his question.

“What is your dream?” The younger Uchiha paused before adding, “Hatake-san?”

“It’s fine, Obito, and my dream?...hmmm,” Sakumo tilted his head thoughtfully. Obito took a bite of his own food, sighing in contentment at the taste as he waited for Sakumo to speak.

“I wonder what his dream is now? After all, the original sakumo never survived this long.” Obito wondered, but the reminder of sakumo’s original fate made his food taste stale, but he still forced himself to swallow, not wanting to waste it.

“I suppose, for now, I want to teach pups and prepare them for the future,” Sakumo responded.

‘“aww…That’s also really nice, a noble!” Rin cheerfully said.

“Thank you. What about you, shisui-kun? Obito-kun?” Sakumo asked, and Shisui perked up at the question.

“Oh! Oh! I want to be a super duper strong ninja so I can keep my precious people safe!” Rin giggled, and Sakumo smiled.

“That’s nice; what about you, Obito?” Rin probed with curiosity.

“Oh…I want to destroy the plans of an evil rabbit goddess that wishes to take all the chakra of the world- oh, and her black blob son,” Obito said seriously. There was silence for a few moments before Shisui and Obito burst out laughing, Rin giggled, and Sakumo chuckled.

“Obito! How in the world did you even come up with that?!?” Shisui managed to utter between his laughter, and Obito shrugged with a huge smile.

“I partially made it up and read it in a book,” The older Uchiha said, and it technically wasn’t a lie since he had read the manga alongside the anime. He had said that phrase mostly because he wanted someone to know it, and it was really funny if you didn’t have any context like he did.

“Oh my! Obito! You ignored Sakumo's question,” Rin scolded him, but she couldn’t hide the small smile on her face.

“Sorry, sorry!” Obito half-heartedly apologized, “but my actual answer is that… I just want to be strong enough to protect those I care about.”

“pfff-! “ Obito blinked slightly when rin began to laugh.

“Huh?”

“Sorry, Obito-kun- it’s just a very you thing to say!”

“Sheesh, if I knew you were going to laugh, I would have said nothing!”

“Noooo! Obito! I’m sorry!”

Chapter 15: The Climax Mission

Chapter Text

“Obito-niisan why are we here? I thought we were going to visit Itachi,'' Shisui whined, and Obito resisted the urge to coo at the boy since right now he was on a mission.

“And we are, but first, I have to make a quick detour that shouldn’t take more than a few minutes,” Obito replied, looking around until his eyes finally landed on the weapons store.

-MISSION-

Get a Gift for Kakashi promotion - (TIME LIMIT - 3 days)

Reward = 9,000 experience, +relationship with Kakashi, and 20 SP.

Failure = - relationship with Kakashi.

“Weapons? What are you getting?” Upon realizing where they were going, Shisui immediately perked up.

“Actually, I’m getting a gift for Kakashi to congratulate his earlier promotion to join” Even without turning around, Obito could sense the younger Uchiha's mood drop.

“Why him? He is so ungrateful to Obito-Nissan and also really mean and lame!”

“Well, that lame and mean guy has just gained the title of earliest graduate from the academy and to join the position” Obito glanced at shisui, and he smiled fondly when he saw him pouting.

“...I’m sure you could do the same if you really wanted to.”

“Yep! But I won’t.” Obito cheerfully said, “Now, if you are good, I’ll make you some orange cake later.”

“I’ll be good!” Shisui swiftly straightened himself and saluted.

“Great, now to explore or something, and I’ll call you when you are done. '' Obito watched the boy rush off inside the shop warily before sighing and walking up to the front desk where an older male was cleaning a few daggers.

“Hello? Excuse me, I would like to place a custom order for a tanto” The man glanced up and looked him up and down.

“Are you a shinobi?”

“Huh? Yes?” Obito said, and the man sighed before putting down the sword he had stood up.

“Alright, you said tanto, right?” Obito nodded, and the older male leaned under his counter and plopped onto thick books on top of the counter. The Uchiha peered at the title of the books curiously, and it read “Styles of Swords, Kanatas, and Tantos' and “Building our own Tanto and Katana.”

“Why does this feel like that one time I went to the store and tried to build my own custom birthday cake?” Obito sweatdropped and looked up at the man who had gone back to cleaning the swords.

“Ummm…Sir? I already know what I want” The man paused and looked at him, surprised.

“Really?”

“Yes' ' Obito then proceeded to explain in great detail the tanto he wanted and even gave the exact measurements. It was quite easy since he had memorized Kakashi's measurements with his Sharingan.

Once he was done, the man stared at him before smiling, pleased.

“Well, I’d be damned. This is the first time I don’t have to wait for you ninjas to take ages to choose your custom weapon.”

“Ah, that is why he was staring at me annoyed,” Obito thought, feeling pity for the man.

“Oh…I understand, Mister…?” Obito tired of waiting for the man to introduce himself since he didn’t want to look creepy at already knowing his name.

“Call me Hiroto, kid” The man reached under the counter and put a sheet on the counter, and a quick glance told Obito it was a contract.

“Alright, so you know that custom orders cost more than normal orders, correct?”

“Yes,'' Obito replied while mentally weeping at the hit his bank account was going to take. He had just barely enough to pay, all thanks to Minato, who had given a little extra on their last mission, and he couldn’t even refuse because the blond-haired male was very stubborn.

“Alright…then your order will cost you $27,000,” Obito stored at Hiroto like he had just admitted he knew Obito was a reincarnation.

“Repeat that, please? I don't think I heard you.”

“$27,000,” The older man repeated like that was a normal number to say. Obito showed no emotion on the outside, but on the inside, he was crying as he looked at his bank account,

>Money - $ 31,130

“I…see” Obito was hesitant to accept just a deal, “I thought the normal cost was $15,000?” The man shrugged

“It would have been under normal circumstances, but with the war going on, I had to increase my prices.”

*TRUTH

“So he isn’t trying to scam me….” Obito thought when he felt his lie detection skill go off. He bit his lip though full before finally caving.

“Fine, I accept the deal since I have heard your weapons are pretty good quality.”

>Hiroto Hanashi (LV - 3)The owner of Buki Shop__OP=0→8__

“Great! Now, what is the name I should put in the contract?” Obito had begun pulling his wallet out with great reluctance, but he kept reminding himself that he would be named dead in a week or so; therefore, he would not need the money anyways.

“You can put Obito Uchiha, so do I pay now or later?” he questioned and was surprised when the older man looked at him very intently.

“Did you happen to know someone named Yamini?” Obito raised an eyebrow at the question, which came out of nowhere.

“Yes? Do you mean the nice lady that lives by that bakery?”

>Hiroto Hanashi (LV - 3)The owner of Buki Shop__OP=8→20__

“Yes,” Hiroto was looking at him with a new thoughtful look, “I suppose I could make an exception and lower the price.”

“Wait, really?”

“Yes, It is now $19,500. That is as far as I am going through, so take it or leave it-”

“I’ll take it! Yes, it is perfectly fine,” Obito quickly agreed, more than okay with the new price compared to the old one. However, he found out why it was changed.

“Why the sudden change of heart?”

“Yamini is actually my grandmother, and she has mentioned very often that you have helped her many times over the years.”

“Oh!” Obito's eyes widened, and he suddenly thanked his past self for his good deeds.

“Now you may pay now and come back in 2 days for your order.” Obito nodded, satisfied, and went to go to the fine shisui. He finds the younger Uchiha carefully studying different types of ninja wire.

“Little Shu, it’s time to go,” Shisui jumps at his voice.

“Ack! Don’t scare me like that!” Obito rolled his eyes.

“If you can’t even notice me, it worries me how you will do as a real ninja.”

“Of course, I would notice anyone coming up to me except you!’

“Why?” Obito asked, tilting his head.

“Because Obito-Nissan is safe, so I don’t have to worry.”

-100 HP

“Ah! Obito-Nissan?!? Are you okay?” shisui rushed over, panicking when Obito fell on his knees, clutching his heart.

“I WAS RIGHT! MY HEART REALLY CAN’T HANDLE SUCH CUTENESS!!!” Obito gave a reassuring strained smile and gave the younger Uchiha a hug.

“Obito-”

“Don’t worry, shisui! I am perfect- no more than fine! I was just a bit surprised.”

“Oh…okay,” Shisui said and snuggled deeper into the hug.

>Shisui uchiha (LV - 23) Sunshine uchiha_OP=76→79_

“You know what? The cuteness of all these children is going to be the true cause of my death ” However, Obito did not mind that one bit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just as expected, Obito went back in two days to retrieve the tanto, and he was very happy with it because not only would this tanto fit Kakashi better than his father, but it could also channel chakra! He had bought some white wrapping paper and used a nice black ribbon to tie it all together. He had then gotten prepared for the last mission of his Konoha career. Maybe it was because he was so busy doing so much stuff and hanging out with his precious friends, but when the day came to give Kakashi his thoughtfully chosen gift, he realized he had made a mistake.

“Alright, everyone! Before we go, let us all give our congratulations to Kakashi!” Minato announced. Rin and Obito clapped alongside minato and even kushina, who had decided to come as fell to see them off.

“I am very proud of you, Kakashi, and I am sure your father is proud of you too,” Minato softly spoke, and the silver head did nothing except turn his head. Rin took a step forward and handed Kakashi a small medic bag.

“Here, I got you a specialized medical bag that I put together myself” Kakashi accepted the gift after a thorough look.

“This is acceptable” Obito resisted the urge to roll his eyes at the comment. Kushiha went next, gifting the boy a few homemade exploding tags that were nearly twice as potent as normal exploding tags. Minato then gave Kakashi one of his own special kunai though this one did not have the seal the others had. Finally, it was Obito's turn, and he opened his inventory excitedly, only to freeze when he realized the sword wasn’t there. He quickly thought about where he had last placed it, and his stomach dropped when he remembered it was still at his house on his dining room table.

“Well? What do you have for him?”

“Ummm…about that…I may have left it at home?” Obito replied awkwardly, feeling more ashamed than ever. Kakashi scoffed

“If you forgot about it, then just say that rather than digging yourself into a hole” Obito’s eye twitched.

“I DID get you something I just forgot.”

“Hmmm hmm,” Kakashi hummed in mock agreement and turned back to Minato.

>Kakashi Hatake(LV- 57)- The Prodigy Hatake _OP=73→59_

-MISSION- FAILED

Get a Gift for Kakashi promotion - (TIME LIMIT - 3 days)

Reward = 9,000 experience, +relationship with Kakashi, and 20 SP.

Failure = - relationship with Kakashi.

Rin tried to console him, but it didn't really make him feel better.

“All that money. All that effort and time. All down the drain” Obito was definitely not moping, and he would take that to his grave.

“Alright, listen up; due to circumstances, Kakashi will lead the mission today while I go on another mission,” Minato explained, but Kakashi frowned.

“What? I was under the impression I wouldn’t be allowed to lead the mission for another month at least '' Minato winced, but it was Kushina who responded.

“Well, that would usually be the case, but I’m more than positive that Kakashi-kun will do just fine” The silvered ducked his head down in embarrassment and pride.

“I’ll d-do my best. I will not fail this mission.”

“Great! I wish you three good luck! Oh, and Obito-kun remembered when you came back, you promised to teach me that dive ramen recipe you made last week,” Obito saluted.

“I won’t; bye Kushina-san.”

Then they left Kushina behind as she waved at them until they were out of sight. They stayed together as a group until they encountered a group of enemies from the Iwagakure. It was only after they had defeated them that Minato split off to go on his own mission, leaving them alone for the first time.

“Our mission is simple. We just have to destroy the nearby camp and look for anything that could be of use to Konoha, ``Kakashi explained before going over his plan. Once he had finished, they got into formation and began to move toward the camp. At first, everything seemed to be going well.

“Too well…” Obito narrowed his eyes and looked around anxiously. He was frozen right when he checked his map and saw there were over 3 bright red dots heading right toward them.

“KAKASHI! Someone is coming-” Obito shouted just in time for a pair of kunai to come flying from the bushes right toward the spot where the silver head had been moments earlier.

“Tch- It’s just a bunch of brats.” One of the enemy shinobi with reddish hair came out of the bushes with an annoyed look. Another shinobi with brown hair came out with an equally upset look.

“So all this was for a bunch of wet-nosed kids? I thought the student of the great toad sage would be here” Obito and Kakashi froze.

“Wait…they wanted minato? No, actually, that makes sense since Minato would make a good hostage to threaten Jiraiya.” Obito thought, and Kakashi seemed to have similar thoughts by the quiet anger seeping out of him. However, it appeared that Rid did not get the hint and blurted it out.

“Why on earth would you want to capture Minato-sensei!?” Silence fell onto the field, and Obito wanted to facepalm while Kakashi glared at Rin like she was an idiot. Rin wasn't an idiot by any means, but moments like this, it reminded Obito that Rin wasn't like her other two teammates. She wasn’t a prodigy like Kakashi or mentally much older like Obito. The redhead shinobi slowly grinned.

“Sensei, huh? Well, looks like this trip wasn’t for naught, right Kaoru?” The brown-haired enemy named Kaoru smirked as well.

“Yep-” Right before he finished speaking, Kakashi was off in an instance swinging a kunai towards the brown-haired enemy with the clear intent to kill. Luckily for Kakashi, the enemy ninjas were only one level above Kakashi, Level 58, so he managed to land a hit. Unfortunately, however, was that the older shinobis had more experience than Kakashi. Therefore he had his guard up even against kids, so the injury he got was barely deeper than a scratch across his cheek. The two enemies jumped back, and Kaoru seemed in anger as he touched his bleeding face.

“You- You LITTLE BRAT!” He took a step forward, but his red-haired friend helped him back.

“Wait, stop. Something isn’t right. Even if you had your guard down, the fact that the gray-haired kid landed a hit on you says he is strong. We should wait for the rest of our team.” Obito glanced at his map, and he saw that the other male’s words were correct. There were many red dots coming towards them, but they seemed to have been used for some strange reason, so that meant they had at least five minutes until backup arrived.

“I don’t care! Plus, they are just simple genins! We can take them, ``the brown-haired ninja replied harshly. The red-haired man gained a thoughtful look before nodding.

“Alright, but leave one of them alive…let’s leave the brown-haired alive.”

“Fine with me!” Then the battle began. Their enemies worked well together, but Obito and his team also improved their teamwork. Kakashi fought against the brown-haired enemy, Obito fought against the red-haired shinobi, and Rin threw out a second to slow down the men as support. The battle continued for nearly 3 minutes before Obito managed to capture the red-haired in an illusion. However, since Obito didn’t have his Sharingan on and his natural skill and genjutsu sucked so the older man broke out of his after barely a moment. However, that slight pause was more than enough for Obito to throw a huge fireball toward the man and kill him with it. The screams of red-haired Kaoru caused Kaoru to look over, only to briefly pause when he caught sight of his teammate's charred corpse.

“N-no! Hikaru!” The browned hairs became pale, and he kicked Kakashi away to rush toward his dead friend. Obito felt a pang of sympathy towards the older male at losing a friend, but that feeling was quickly pushed away when he caught sight of the red dots on his maps being right ON TOP OF THEM!!!-

“Kakashi! Rin!” Obito spirited towards his teammates and felt his beating rapidly in his chest as he saw over a dozen kunai begin falling towards them. He did a few hand signs, took a deep breath, and released a swirling fire from his mouth that slightly melted the weapons and shifted their trajectory enough to not hit his friends.

“Are you guys alright?”

“Yes, Obito-kun. But look,” Rin replied, pointing to something behind, and the Uchiha paled. The browned-haired male was saying a quick prayer to his comrade's body but next to him were at least 7 enemy shinobi, and each of them was over level 50.

“...We have to eliminate them….'' Kakashi said, and Obito wished to disagree, but he knew that they would not let his team and him leave alive after what they had done to their friend.

“I know, but in.”

“ Rin will stay back and try not to get too close to them. Her main weapon is long-range, after all,” Kakashi ordered, and Rin nodded. The three were tense, waiting for the other party to attack. They didn’t have to wait long because the brown-haired shinobi stood up and looked at them with a murderous look.

“...I promise you this…your deaths will not be painless.”

“I could say the same to you,” Obito replied with fake cheer.

>Kaoru Mikana (LV -58)-Shinobi of Iwagakure_OP=-5→-89_

“Such big words for dead men.” The man gave them a mocking smile. “Men…Go show what happens to those who mess with Iwagakure.”

Chapter 16: The "END" of Obito Uchiha

Chapter Text

Obito had to admit that this was one of the top 5 most challenging battles he had ever been in. This may not have been the first time he had been outnumbered, but this was the first time he had fought so many people above Level 40, except for his teammates and friends. Therefore he was struggling a bit, but the longer the fight went on, the more he adopted. More than once, he nearly activated his Sharingan on instinct, only to hold back at the last second.

“Urg-” Another enemy fell down, choking on his own blood from his slit throat, but the Uchiha barely batted an eye before moving on to the next enemy. So far, he and his teammates were doing well so far with Kakashi, and Obito having killed 2 each and Rin having killed 1.

Obito winced when he watched as a pair of sebons hit another shinobi in the knees causing him to collapse. Then not even a second later, another sebon flew by and, with deadly accuracy, sunk into the man’s neck.

“...” Obito paused for a moment to stare, “I…stand corrected.” He was definitely glad that Rin could protect herself, but that didn’t make it any less terrifying.

“Tch- Alright, fine, let’s do this the hard way” Suddenly, the brown-haired shinobi vanished, and suddenly the area was covered in smoke. Obito narrowed his eyes, sensing something was off about the smoke.

>Poison Resistance (LV - MAX) has been activated<

“That definitely isn’t normal smoke!?!?” Obito's eyes widened in realization.

“DON’T BREATHE THE SMOKE-” Suddenly, there was a small explosion that knocked Obio off his feet. Thankfully the explosion managed to disperse most of the smoke, but the sight made obito’s heart drop. Rin was lying on the floor unconscious, with the enemy shinobi above her. Kakashi was not too far above, resting on his hand and feet, struggling to stand. Obito felt angry and jumped forward to defend his teammates. The man easily moved out of the way of Obito's kicks which was confusing the Uchiha because he wasn’t this weak!

-9 HP

-11 HP

-9 HP

“Huh?” Obito managed to let out before he was kicked in the chest and went flying away, slamming into a tree.

-235 HP

“ACK!-” Obito coughed a bit at the sudden lack of air in his lungs, but that was the least of his problems right now. The older man was now holding Rin over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. “S-stop! Let her go!” Obito stood up, shaking away the sudden blow, and rushed forward, but this time he was too late as the man turned invisible and vanished. Immediately Obito opened his map, searching for a red dot. At first, he saw nothing until the dot alongside another one that was born and purple striped appeared. However, the two dots seemed to be flicking, which was probably due to the man’s weird skill.

The Uchiha was to go after Rin, only to almost trip when he took a few steps forward.

“What is going on?” Obito was frustrated and opened his statues.

“Ah…” Obito had never had to use his Poison resistance before, so he had assumed that the skill would remove the poison instantly, but apparently, that wasn’t the case. When that thought hit him, Obito rushed to Kakashi in panic.

“Oh, fu- are you okay!? Kakashi!? Speak to me!” Kakashi turned and weakly glared at him.

“I’m fine, a little dizzy, but my mask blocked most of the smoke” Obito nodded, relieved but still not relaxed.

Obito nodded, satisfied seeing that Kakashi was recovering quickly since he hadn’t inhaled much in the first place, but now all his worry went to Rin. It took Kakashi a few minutes to recover, and by then, Obito had already gotten rid of the poison.

“How..how were you not affected?” Kakashi questioned, and Obito paled.

“Oh- that is because I instinctively held my breath, so I didn’t inhale any smoke at all” Kakashi nodded.

“I see. Then we should go on and finish the mission. We are way behind schedule due to this battle.”

“Wait, what-” Obito immediately blocked Kakashi. “What about rin?” Kakashi tensed up.

“It is…a shame that we have lost our medic, but we can not let this stop us from completing the mission,” Obito faced and crumbled in grief and shock.

“Ah…If he said that, then this must be…THAT mission..” Obito thought nervously, but he swallowed those feelings down.

“Kakashi…Rin is our teammate and friend- we just can’t! We have to go save her.”

“As true as it may be, Rin is a shinobi, and she knew this would happen one day to her, so therefore the mission takes priority” Obito couldn’t believe what he was hearing despite having seen it before in the manga and anime.

“Kakashi…you can’t be serious...”

“If you are that worried, don’t be. As soon we finish the mission, we can go save Rin since, after all, they will not kill her immediately since she is useful to them-”

Obito had heard enough, and before Kakashi finished, the silver head stumbled back, holding the cheek that Obito had just punched.

“Huh?-”

“Kakashi…I tolerate a lot of things from you, but that? This is not one of them,” Obito began walking away.

“Hold on- Obito, we have to.”

“You may be right that the mission comes over your comrades, but that is not what I think” Obito looks over his shoulder to a shocked Kakashi.

“Those who break the rules are scum, but…those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum” With those final words, Obito rushed towards the direction he had last seen those men and rin on his map.

“I…guess he feels rather complicated towards me,” Obito thought, mildly amused at the notifications, but otherwise, he also felt a sense of gratification since he had wanted to knock some sense into that silver-headed boy for YEARS. “But now that that is out of the way, now I finally know that this will be my final mission for Konoha” Obito grimaced, not really looking forward to being crushed.

“But…if it is for them, then…I can do this” Obito's eyes showed with determination as he thought about the horrible fates of his now dear friends and how he had to change them.

It took him not long before he reached where he knew Rin was being kept inside a cave. He had never been so scared in his life, but strangely it wasn’t for himself but rather for Rin, Kakashi, Itachi, and all those he would be leaving behind after his death. Maybe it was because he had died once and he wasn’t so afraid of death, or maybe it was because he knew he would really die, but either way, he knew he would need to go into that cave. He took a breath and stepped forward before a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder. Obito instinctively had a kunai in his hand, ready to stab the stranger before he recognized the silver head.

“KAKASHI! Don’t scare me like that, you idiot! I could have stabbed you!” The male in question simply raised an eyebrow

“But you didn’t and wouldn’t. Not to me” Obito hated how right Kakashi was and also how smug that silver head sounded.

“Okay, never mind that; what are you doing here?” Kakashi looked off to the side.

“I…came to rescue Rin” Obito stood still before a huge smile grew on his face in happiness and relief. For a moment, he had thought that he had failed to change Kakashi's mind, but it looked like his worries were for naught.

“Ha! And here, If all it took to make you change was a punch to the face, I would have done that ages ago.” Obito's voice became softer. “You know that you really love Sakumo, you know?” Kakashi’s face flashes in guilt for a brief moment.

“I…I…”

“Doesn’t matter; you can apologize to him when we get back,” Obito said like a liar, knowing full well he wouldn’t be going home.

The two sneaked closer to the cave, being quiet so as to not alert anybody, but it didn’t matter because everything went wrong again. Suddenly Obito spotted a red dot suddenly appear on his map.

“Kaka-!”

“OBITO!” The Uchiha has roughly pushed away almost 5 meters, but that didn’t matter. What did was the cry of pain Kakashi let out, and Obito was on his feet in an instant next to the silver head.

“Oh no- Shit- Kakashi!” Obito saw the cut and knew that a scar would be forming there. His hands glowed a soft green as he attempted to heal the wound. Soon the cut looked to be at least a week old, and no matter how much chakra he used, the wound wouldn’t heal anymore. After all, he wasn’t a medical-nin, so that fact he could even heal this well was only thanks to his cheat system.

“-Obito! Obito!! Stop! Leaving it. That eye is a lost cause; our main problem is the enemy’s invisible sneaking jutsu.” Obito hesitates before pulling his hands away. “We can only defeat him with my help since I can still smell him!”

“No, you are not the only one with a skill,” Obito thought before turning around and activating his Sharingan for the first time without his goggles covering it. His eyes turned side to side, searching and searching until he saw the enemy’s chakra rushing toward them in slow motion. He raised his kunai and threw it. The blade landed true directed into the man’s chest, causing the enemy's jutsu to fall, revealing the ninja as he collapsed dead.

“...Obito…how did y-” Kakashi's breath hitched when he caught sight of Obito's eyes.

“Uhhh..surprise?” The Uchiha nervously spoke, but the Kakashi seemed to be in a state of shock.

>Kakashi Hatake(LV- 57)- The Prodigy Hatake _OP=78→76

>Kakashi Hatake(LV- 57)- The Prodigy Hatake _OP=76→79

Obito winced at the notification, and as much as he wished (no, he didn’t) to answer Kakashi's question, they still had to go save Rin and Obito had to fulfill his…destiny.

“Obito- how long have you had-”

“So, Ummm- sorry about dropping this on you, but we have kinda really bigger issues than my Sharingan, you know, like our trapped teammate?” Kakashi's mouth felt shut, and he nodded. The silver head took only a moment to wrap up his injured eye to prevent infection.

“Yes, you’re right. We need to move quickly” Obito nodded, relieved, and the two jumped down, sneaking closer to the cafe. Once they got close enough, they could hear the sounds of shouting before it was followed by a loud slap.

“Stupid brat!- I should skin you alive when you have no further use” Obito recognized the voice, and immediately his eyes darkened, and he could barely contain his bloodlust once he realized what had occurred.

“How... DARE HE …how dare he hurt one of my precious people… ” Kakashi placed a hand on Obito's shoulder to hold him back, not that Obito would do something stupid like that if the risk was his friend's life.

“Calm down. Rin is stronger than you think. If she can spar on an equal level with you and me, then she can handle a few slaps” However, despite Kakashi's works, Obito could sense his rising anger.

“I know. So leader, what is the plan?”

“...how well can you use your eyes?” Obito gave a blink.

“Pretty well. Why?”

“I'm gonna jump in to distract him, and as soon as you see an opening, trap him in a genjutsu” Obito's eyes slide off to the side as his cheeks burn.

GenJutsu (LV - 12) The ability to trick your opponents with the use of illusions. The chances of trapping someone are 38% depending on the mental strength of the opponent.

(Due to Uchiha’s Natural talent and Sharingan, you get a 20% boost when casting a genjutsus with the Sharingan active)

“Gonna be honest, my forte isn’t exactly with Genjutsu, so there is a 50/50 chase; I will succeed or fail” Kakashi did not look amused.

“Really? You are an Uchiha who sucks-”

“I know! You don’t have to rub it in!!” Obito harshly whispered as his ears burned. Honestly, he never saw a real use in illusions and such, so he hadn’t bothered to level it up.

“Fine, at least you have a better chance of doing a successful genjutsu than me,” Kakashi shifted before leaping toward the brown-haired ninja with impressive speed. However, he missed as the older male spun off the way.

“Oh! Are you still alive? Here I thought the poison would have killed you. Guess that little mask of yours must have saved you, huh?” Kakashi didn't bother to respond and continued attacking. “Oh, the silent treatment? Then can you at least tell me where your black-haired comrade is? I need to repay him for what he did to my friend-” Obito didn’t let the man finish as he landed stealthily behind the man.

The man whipped back, sensing something was wrong, only for his eyes to meet the Uchiha’s burning red eyes.

“An Uchiha-” Obito's eyes flashed, and just like that, the man’s eyes dulled, and he nearly slumped to his knees. The silver head didn’t waste the opportunity and slashed the man across the chest. The body collapsed onto the floor, which slowly became wet with the man’s blood. Obito wasted no time running over to Rin, who was dulled and hazy. The Uchiha studied his friend and noticed how she had a few bruises on her face and a bleeding lip, all signs pointing to a struggle. Despite everything, Obito couldn’t help the pride that bled inside of him when he released how Rin would not go down without a fight, unlike the original rin.

“Kai,” Obito said, releasing the genjutsu placed on the girl. In an instant, Rin's eyes cleared, and she looked around frantically until she spotted Obito.

“Obito!” There was relief in her expression, only for it to shift into confusion when she spotted the silver head. “...and Kakashi…?”

“Fair enough, knowing Kakashi's previous ideology, I would not expect Kakashi to come back for me,” Obito fused with a mental grimace before smiling.

“Look! I managed to remove the stick from Bakashi’s ass!” Rin laughed loud, clear, and happy, and it made her look so pretty and alive. Obito stared at the girl in awe, not even flinching enough when Kakashi elbowed him in the ribs.

“Look, sure, we came back for you, but now we must finish the mission, alright?” Kakashi growled, annoyed and Obito nodded.

“Yeah, yeah, fine, let-” Obito's senses go wild, and he leaps to the side right before a shuriken hits him. The three turned around, watching as the brown-haired man from earlier sat on his knees, glaring at them with pure hatred.

“I…ain’t,,,g-going to be taken d-down by b-bunch…of brat!!!” The moment he finished, he ripped his jacket off. Much to Obito and his teammates' horror, the entire torso of the older man was covered in explosive tags. Rin and Kakashi froze in horror, but Obito snapped to action, grabbing the hands of his teammates and bolting for the exit. There was a single moment where Obito thought he would actually make sure that he wasn’t going to end up faking his death (the thought was both frightening and relieved). However, just like in the anime, Obito spotted a huge rock rolling down, but this time it was going toward both Rin and Kakashi. He barely gave it a second thought when he threw both his teammates to the entrance and out of danger before his vision went black.

He floated in a haze of half awareness and would have stayed like that had he not heard a buzz in his ears getting louder and louder.

“ohio jio…obi…obi…Obito…OBITO!!-” Obito's eyes- eye opened, and almost immediately, he wished he could go back to being unconscious. Despite his gamer mind dulling the panic and his inability to feel the pain, that did not make getting by a freaking bolder any fun. He was paralyzed and couldn’t move an inch except for his eyes, and even that was hard. Distantly he swore he could feel his arms and bones slowly breaking and flash turning to mush. It was horrifying. Breathing was also hard; he could feel his ribcage creaking and shuddering as his body struggled to take breaths. The Uchiha had a feeling that if he wasn’t struggling to breathe, he would have been having a panic attack.

~A young 13-year-old Uchiha chunin in Team 7 of Konoha. ~

(Has crushed ribs, crushed right arm, broken right leg, pictured lungs, a cracked skull, dislocated shoulder, broken right toe, ripped ear, etc.)

“Ah…the original Obito made this look easier and less painful than it actually was,” Obito thought calmly for a person missing half of their body.

“Obito! Where are you!” Obito could hear Rin shouting for him in a nearly hysterical voice. The Uchiha took a shaky breath.

“Rin…kakashi…” Obito's words were too soft, and he thought that nobody would hear him. However, his doubts were erased when he heard rapid footsteps hedging toward him.

“Obito! Obito-” He could hear Rin gasp, and Kakashi's breath hitched.

“nNononononon- NO!” Kakashi shouted; he could hear the silver head grunting and the shifting of rocks. There was a thump next to him, and Rin's tear-filled face appeared above him. He could feel Rin attempting to heal him, but he knew it was pointless.

“Rin…stop.”

“No! I-I can’t! Obito…” Something wet landed on obito’s hand. Rin picked up his hand and sobbed, letting more tears fall onto his limp hand. The male tried to replicate the gesture, but his body wouldn’t respond.

“Fuck! No! NO,'' Kakashi screamed, and suddenly the male was next to him.

“Obito! You know something, right!?? How do I save- how d-do I stop you f-from- '' The hatake was hysterical, looking around as if the answer would appear in front of him. Obito's heart clenched (Both mentally and physically…that is probably not a good sign) when he realized how young Kakashi was.

“However…I need to get things over with soon, or else….” Obito could see the ceiling of the cave shuddering.

“kakashi…I…I never gave you…your gift.”

“What does this have to do with anything!!!”

“I…really d..did you have s-something prepared..for you…I…left it…at home…such an idiot..r-right?”

“Obito, it's fine! You just give me the gift when we get home, alright?!”

“...yeah…h-however…I have o-one more…gi…gift for you...Rin?”

“Y-yes, Obito? What is it?”

“C-could..you take…m-my eye…and g-give it to r-replace Kakashi…blind o-one..?” There was silence, and Obito feared that he would have to argue to get them to agree.

“Is…is this really what you want?” Rin asked, and Obito tried to nod only to forget she physically couldn’t

“...y-yes..”

“Kakashi?”

“Obito…” Kakashi's voice was small and timid. “I don’t deserve this- this is yours- I can’t-”

“I…t-think I…get…to d-decide..whether or n-not you deserve it ….or not” Obito gave his best smile “...plus with…g-gift I g-get to replace…the…eye y-you lost for me…and see…t-the future…with…with you”

“If…” Kakashi paused “-if this is what you want, then I accept your… gift….”

“Rin…would you..d-do..the procedure?” Rin froze.

“Obito! I can’t; it would k-”

“I am already…dying…so no r-risk…there…” Rin still resisted.

“I don’t have any painkiller strong enough to dull the pain, so it would be excruciating to you….” Obito let out a dry laugh.

“That…won’t be…a…an issue…I can’t…f-feel anything,” Obito whispers, and while it was true his ability to feel pain was non-existent, he also meant that his body was going numb from probably shock or blood loss.

There was a soft, okay inhale and then a deep exhale.

“I…do it, Obito-Kun. I am so sorry….”

>Rin Nohara(LV - 45) - Medic of Team 7__OP=81→84__

“Rin-”

“Kakashi get me my b-bag. Rin's voice was stern and serious now, and Obito smiled inside when he realized how much she had grown to keep calm despite the torrent of emotions inside her. There was some shuffling, and Rin pulled out a surgical knife alongside a jar filled with medicine for burns and bruises. The girl didn’t hesitate before dumping the contents of the jar out.

“Your water bag” Kakashi placed his water bottle in her hand, looking more heartbroken the more time passed. Rin then proceeds to clean the jar before placing it on the floor next to obito’s head. Obito watched Rin as she prepared a few more materials as a slow realization down on him.

“Despite not having the tools, she is reusing what she has to successfully remove and preserve my eye until Kakashi can receive it….” Once again, Obito was blown away and filled with pride at Rin.

“Kakashi, lay down here and keep your eyes wide open….” Obito wasn’t sure what had happened after since it became a blur and he sort of blacked out (which was probably for the best). Though when he came back to reality, he was being both gently and roughly shaken.

“Obito! Please-”

“Still…h-here…bakashi..” Obito replied, and honestly, he could not remember ever sounding so pitiful or hearing Kakashi so desperate. Obito tried to open his eye, only for him to realize his eye had been opened the entire time.

“Ah,” Obito wasn’t sure why he wasn’t reacting anymore, but for some reason, everything felt dull and empty, a soothing experience compared to before. Even now, he could not even tell he was missing an eye…it was just numb.

“Obito…obito…I am so..sorry” While Obito may no longer be able to see, he could still sense both Rin and Kakashi and the grief coming from them in waves. Suddenly the cave shook softly, and Obito heard some rocks falling next to them.

“You…need to..go..”

“No…no, we can’t…no with you like this!-” Kakashi’s voice cracked.

“You…need to…after all I…re..really lo..ve you two…so y-you can’t die..like…this..” Obito took a breath “I..w…ant you t-two to t..take care…of e-each other…and…pl…ease tell…Shisui…and… I-Itachi…I-love..them..a…and I am s-so sorry..r…y” Obito began to cough hard until he could taste something metallic.

“I-”

“G-go!” There were rapid footsteps, and suddenly Obito was alone. The silence was deafening and consuming. The Uchiha suddenly felt something warm, a wet roll down his cheek.

“Ah…must be blood from my eye ,” Obito mused, but he knew that it wasn’t because Rin made sure to close the wound and stop the bleeding. Then another rolled down his cheek, and another and another.

“He is still alive?” Obito froze at the voice. “Hmmm…yes, though very weak.”

“Should we look for another?”

“No, he will have to do” Obito knew those voices. Of course, he did, and ironically enough, those voices that he HATED made him feel relief so great he finally gave in and passed out into the sweet realm of dreams.

Chapter 17: Healing in the Cave

Chapter Text

When Obito opened his eyes, his body felt sore and tired as hell, like he had run 100 miles with a 30-second break only to run another 100 miles. The second thing was that his eye ached and itched, a pain since his body barely had enough strength to move an inch. He tried to sit up or move but found it difficult, so he gave up. He opened his eyes to reveal his singular Sharingan.

“Well…this sucks' ' Obito stared at the ceiling for a moment before his gamer mind kicked in, giving him the clear mind he needed to remember what was happening. “Hold on- I heard Zetsu before, so that means…-”

“Ah…You're awake now, child,” A horse yet commanding voice spoke up. Obito already knew who it was, but that didn’t make it any less shocking when he saw Madara Uchiha in the flesh. Obito gulped and immediately slipped into his idiot act.

“Who..are you?”

“I am Madara, Madara Uchiha child. The ghost of the Uchiha '' The older man stared down at him with his Sharingan eye. Obito deadpanned

“Yeah, and I am a Hokage; who are you, old man?” Madara inhaled sharply before glaring.

>Madara Uchiha (LV - 135 {68}) The Ghost of the Uchiha_OP=0→-22

“Such disrespect! Especially for the one who saved you” Maybe Obito was being a little rude, ignoring Madara, but he was more focused on why the older Uchiha had two sets of Levels.

“No, not the right time, Obito!” The younger Uchiha scolded himself before focusing on the task at hand.

“Sorry, excuse me if I don’t believe you; after all, I literally died by a huge rock, and now I have some grim reaper-looking guy telling me he is the great legend from nearly a hundred years ago” So maybe Obito was being a little petty, taking his anger out on his ancestor but could you blame him? He nearly died (again), and the man in front of him both directly and indirectly created the next great ninja war. Sure he was also ignoring that he also made the war happen, but the original Obito had been a kid broken down and made into a villain.

>Madara Uchiha (LV - 135 {68}) The Ghost of the Uchiha_OP=-22→-12

“Very well, your actions will be forgiven this time," Madara replied, nodding before gesturing toward Obito. “However, you are very much not dead.” Obito followed Madara's gesture and his breath stopped. He knew what to expect, and yet…seeing his missing arm and part of his leg did not make it less…shocking. Honestly, he hadn’t even felt his arm missing. He could still feel it. It felt numb, sure, but it didn’t feel like it was gone.

“I have to say, you were quite lucky. Despite half your body being crushed, most of your organs stayed relatively intact. However, your arm could not be saved” Obito could feel his breathing quicken in very much real panic before he held his breath and forced himself to calm down. Throughout Obito's entire mini-breakdown, all Madara had done was stare at him with his Sharingan like a particularly interesting dog.

“W..why? No, wait, how then you are-”

“Alive? Hmmm…” Madara shook his head and began to walk away

>Madara Uchiha (LV - 135 {68}) The Ghost of the Uchiha_OP=-12→-11

“I will discuss this with you once you have healed up enough. So for now, sleep” Obito hated to admit it, but the older man was right. At the current moment, Obito was too weak and fragile, so talking would only weaken him further. So Obito closed his eyes and tried to sleep, and due to the exhaustion he had been experiencing, it took less than a minute before he was out cold.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Time passed by meaninglessly. Obito tried his best to recover, which meant sleeping…a lot. Madara had given him his speech about the cruelty in this world, and as much as Obito could understand his point of view, he knew what would happen if he followed said plan. Maybe Obito was being paranoid, but ever since he had woken up in this cave, he had yet to turn off his Sharingan unless he was asleep. Madara had said was that the trauma of his injuries might have caused his Sharingan to stay in a constant state of activation. Obito found it annoying at first due to the constant strain on his Chakra; however, after a while, it became easier to handle, and he could always turn it off though it would reactivate after a while without his permission (plus it made him feel safer). Weirdly, after Obito had rejected the plan and joined Madara, all the man had done was say

“Such innocence and naivety” After that, he hadn’t seen the older Uchiha, and instead, he got two new caretakers in the form of prototype white Zetsu. One he recognized as the original white Zetsu, and the other was the weird swirly-faced Zetsu simply called swirly. They basically made sure Obito wouldn’t starve to death and didn’t get infections. They were also the reason that the Uchiha discovered why his right side was covered by a weird sheet.

“Oh! Do you mean the bandaid?” Obito finished chewing the sandwich that Swirly had handed him for his lunch? or breakfast?

“Yeah- wait, did you say bandaid?” Obito paused, staring at the eccentric plant man, wondering if the creature had misspoken.

“Yep! It’s there to make sure your weird stuff stays still!” The creature replied excitedly, and Obito turned to stare at the white Zetsu with a raised eyebrow. White Zetsu sighs and translates.

“What he means is that most of your flesh and skin is missing, and without any help, your human organs would spill out.”

“huh…You know that suddenly explains a few things, but still- what the fuck?!?” Obito shouted, gesturing with his good hand towards his missing side.

“I thought my organs weren't damaged!”

“They weren’t,” Came the casual response, and Obito sighed into his hands- well hand. So what if Obito didn't bother to check his status? He didn’t want to see the extent of the damage, and if anything serious happened, he would be notified anyways.

After that…conversation, Madara had come to visit him, which honestly startled him more than he had expected. He had been chatting with Swirly, who was a honey sweetheart. If only he didn’t ask such weird questions about the human body.

“-So then Rin proceeds to chase down the pervert, only for Minato sensei to come and stop her. However, once she had explained what the guy had tried to do, Minato-sensei gave one his not-so-nice smiles and took the man to Kushina.”

“So what happened to him?” Swirly questioned, tilting his head like a dog.

“Honestly? Not too sure, but knowing Kushina, I really don’t want to know. I sort of felt pity, but at the same time, he deserved it! Rin is only a kid and deserves more respect than being harassed!” Obito finished with a scoff, only to nearly jump out of his bones when a familiar voice spoke.

“I see…Your friend Kushina is the Uzumaki, right?” Obito whipped around.

“How long have you been there?!?”

“36 minutes; honestly, you are a pathetic excuse of a shinobi for not noticing me.”

>Madara Uchiha (LV - 135 {68}) The Ghost of the Uchiha_OP=-11→-5

“Hold on, why are you here?” Obito asked, but internally he was also confused about why Madara’s OP with him improved. “And how do you know who kushina is?”

“I know who Kushina Uzumaki is because you talk about her constantly in your tales' ' The younger Uchiha blinked.

“...but I haven’t seen you for many days, probably” Madara gives him a look of disappointment that would put any parents' glare to shame.

>Madara Uchiha (LV - 135 {68}) The Ghost of the Uchiha_OP=-5→-8

“...Just what do the uchihas instructor teach you nowadays? I have visited you many times, and yet you haven’t noticed?” Now Obito felt like crawling into a hole.

“Ah…” Obito hadn’t bothered to keep his guard up due to the fact that he was stuck underground and no one knew where he was, so…

“Sorry?”

“This generation of Uchihas have fallen so far-”

“Hey! Look, you can talk crap about me, but don’t go on and include my little brother in your weird evaluation of the Uchiha clan” Obito wasn’t sure where his sudden confidence came from but what he did know was that Itachi and Shisui were the more adorable uchihas ever that didn’t deserve to be insulted.

>Madara Uchiha (LV - 135 {68}) The Ghost of the Uchiha_OP=-8→-4

“Brother? You haven’t mentioned them before.”

“Well…technically, shisui is like my second cousin removed twice while Itachi is the clan’s head, so…” The older Uchiha snorted.

“You really are a different breed of Uchiha, aren’t you?” Obito knew the question was rhetorical, but he answered anyway (After all, he hadn’t talked with an actual person in so long).

“Yeah, the clan seemed to agree on the same thing about me! You wouldn’t even be able to tell I was an Uchiha if I hadn’t got my Sharingan.”

“I see…however, I have more important things to discuss rather than the generation of uchihas.”

“Oh? What is that, gramps?”

>Madara Uchiha (LV - 135 {68}) The Ghost of the Uchiha_OP=-4→-6

“Worth it,” Obito thought when he saw the older man’s eye twitch.

“How are you handling your missing limbs?” Obito winced, glancing down at said limbs.

Obito was dealing with the loss of his arm and leg pretty okay…so long as he didn’t think too hard about it. Obito adapted quickly to only having one eye, so that wasn't an issue except for those times when he forgot about it and opened his missing eye, causing him to become hyper-aware of the emptiness in his eye. His leg was strange since he still had the limb and just couldn’t move it. Apparently, the boulder had crushed his hipbone badly, so the fact that he could even still feel his leg was a miracle. Lastly, there was his arm that had been mutilated so badly that it had to be amputated. Not having his arm was probably the hardest part because he could have sworn he would still feel his arm and more. More often than not, he had tried to do something with his right arm only to remember that it was no longer there. Though if he is busy or doesn’t think about it, he doesn’t even notice his current state until he is forced to.

“It has been…okay? A little weird and strange.”

“You are unusually calm about this situation, '' Obito shrugged.

“Well, so long as I ignore it, I forget there aren’t even there; sometimes, I can still feel my arm.”

“Ah, the sensation of your arm is called phantom limb. However, your being in denial also explains your calmness to your circumstances.”

“I am not in denial; I am aware of my arm being gone-”

“Yet you still ignore it despite being aware. That is denial.”

“...” The younger Uchiha stayed silent, not sure how to respond until he heard a sigh.

“What if…you could have your missing limbs back? Be whole again?”

“What…?”

“I had wanted you to heal to some extent so the procedure wouldn’t put a strain on your already damaged body” Obito had known this was coming, and yet…

“Why would you help me? I am not even a true Uchiha!” Madara sighed like Obito was a particularly annoying child.

“The procedure might not even work, so you're a test subject as well as my patient” The man paused. “In addition, you are right that you aren’t like other uchihas; however, despite that, you still share our curse of love, which makes you an Uchiha no matter what anyone thinks,” Obito froze.

“What”

“Have you ever felt a sense of extra protectiveness for someone? Hatred towards anyone who hurt them? Worried constantly about them? Do ANYTHING for their safety and happiness?” With every word, Obito felt like a kunai was stabbing him because wasn’t that exactly what he had felt towards his friends? He had always wondered why he was so willing to get crushed and risk his life for once fictional characters. Not only that, but when he had given Kakashi his eye, he hadn’t felt even the slightest bit annoyed that he wouldn’t be able to develop a Susanoo. Instead, he felt a sense of satisfaction and even a little joy that he could help Kakashi even if he was gone.

“You know, that suddenly explains so MUCH….”

“...”

“...Back on the topic, will you accept my proposal?”

“...Yes” It was only one word. One simple word that would make him different, make him an experiment, an abomination of the Uchiha for being part Senju, and yet it was for the best either way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“...this sucks!” Obito shouted, lying down on the hard floor panting from his daily physical therapy. Getting used to a new arm was easy but actually feeling up the muscles in his new limbs sucked. Obito raised his new arm and studied it. The arm looked like a normal (very pale) arm at first glance, but if you took a closer look, you would quickly notice how the arm lacked any hairs, veins, and even nails! Obito never thought he would find missing nails, but now it was slightly disturbing looking at his own arm and finding his nails missing.

The procedure had gone surprisingly well except for the first week, where he had a high fever as his body attempted to reject the Hashirama cells. Thankfully his body eventually accepted the foreign DNA and began to replace his missing limbs and heal the rest of the damage.

~A young Uchiha? Senju? that has been declared dead ~

(Currently has a sprained ankle, healing hip bone, and an atrophied arm)

After his body had begun adapting to the Hashirama cells, Obito finally checked his status to see the results. Apparently, he now had a permanent boost to all his stats and had even risen by 2 levels. That is how OP the cells were, but not only that, he gained some VERY useful skills.

---NEW Skills—

Senju Vitality (MAX???) - Gives users a greater boost in all defensive and Healing capabilities.

Chakra Regeneration (Level MAX??) - Allows users to regenerate from life-threatening injuries so long as enough Chakra is available.

Wood Style Jutsu (Level 4) - Allows users to manipulate trees, wood, and even nature to an extent. You also gain the ability to track anyone inside a forest within a 200 Meter radius.

Obito now had one of the most overpowered abilities and mixed with his new regeneration, it meant that if he increased his Chakra, then he could basically survive anything. In addition, now he didn’t have to worry about his constantly activated sharingan.

“Not only that, but now I know why Madara’s Level and stats are so weird” Obito had realized that if the person became weaker or, in this case, old, then they would obviously not keep their former skill, so course, their level would adjust the same way. In Madara’s prime, he had been at level 135, but in his current old and near-death state, he was now Level 68 (which was still quite impressive).

“You shouldn’t push yourself too hard, or all my work will go to waste,” Obito rolled over.

“Don’t worry, gramps! I know my limits, and I need to heal quickly so I can go back to Konoha!”

>Madara Uchiha (LV - 135 {68}) The Ghost of the Uchiha_OP=5→2

The younger Uchiha barely batted an eye when Madara's opinion of him fell again since it happened so often. Obito wasn't sure what to think about the much older Uchiha after meeting him in person. Sure Obito was slightly intimidated and anxious but now? He still felt that way, but his pity for the man overwhelmed any fear he had for him.

Madara is a sad man in mourning, and in his grief, he is being manipulated into indirectly destroying the world. What was even sadder was that Obito could understand how Madara fell to this point. The cause? The Uchiha’s curse of Hate, or another name that the uchihas called their curse of love. When an Uchiha felt an emotion, they felt too much, too easily. Therefore they could hate someone to the very depths of their souls as much as they could love them with every fiber of their being. That also included Madara and even Obito, who loved these once-fictional characters so much that he was more than willing to sacrifice his dignity, body, and life for them. As a consequence of this, Obito knew deep down that if he lost Kakashi, Rin, or any of his dear people, well…he would turn out just like Madara, except that he would rather burn down the world rather than “save it” or bring peace.

“...Madara, can I ask a question?” Madara glared at Obito, and the younger Uchiha sighed. “MADARA-SAMA, can I ask a question?” The man nodded, satisfied but also a bit surprised.

“Go on”

“Did…did you have a family? Like you know everything about my family and friends?” He wants to hear Madara’s story from the man himself and not from a book or show but from the man himself.

“...I would have thought that our clan would have taught you about my life,” Obito winced.

“Well…You are simultaneously the greatest Uchiha in our history and the greatest stain of the clan- more so than me…so….” Obito wasn’t sure how to explain nicely, but it appeared he didn’t have to. The man sighed as if expecting this.

“I see. Well, I suppose it won’t kill me if I tell you stories.” Madara gave Obito a sharp glare. “You better not interrupt me, or I will never speak to you of this again” Obito made a zipping motion across his mouth, which seemed to satisfy the older Uchiha.

“Alright…let’s see where do I begin?...” Obito waited patiently. “How about with my brothers? Yes, that will do” Madara closed his eyes as he began to narrate his story.

“I was born Ironically as the middle child of my family with having 2 older brothers and eventually a younger one. I don’t remember much about my older siblings since by the time I was old enough to speak and walk, they had already died, making me the heir by default. That left me with my only living brother…Izuna.” Madara took a deep breath and continued.

“He was…was everything… especially when my mother passed away when Izuna was 2 and I around 6. It was after her death that I realized it was my responsibility to protect her since my own father wouldn't do it.” Madara scowled

“...My father- no Tajima cared only about killing the Senju Clan and restoring the Uchiha’s Honor, no matter the cost. He was a horrible father, and I hated him, but I admired his strength and the skills he taught me so that I could protect my brother. My life had been fine until that day when I decided to go and train outside the clan by a nearby river. I went there day after day until one day, I met a stupid boy with an equally stupid haircut” Madara let out a raspy snort, and Obito made an inquisitive noise.

“Hmmm?”

“Nothing, anyways, back then, sharing your clan name was a death sentence, so we shared our first names only and eventually became…friends. Though nothing good in this world ever lasts forever since our fathers and brother found out about our meetings. Imagine my shock when I discovered that my idiot best friend was the heir of the Senju. It was that day that I had to make something delicious, and I chose my clan- over my only friend in the entire world…the only one who shared my dreams….”

“Do you regret it?” The words slipped out before Obito could help it. For a moment, Obito thought he messed up, only to be surprised when the older man’s reaction was a deep, thoughtful silence.

“No…As much as it pained me, I wouldn’t have changed since I would always choose my brother over everything,” Obito thought about Itachi and Shisui.

“I think…” Madara opened his eyes to look at the younger Uchiha “...I would have done the same thing if it was for Itachi and Shisui especially considering how young they are.”

“Youth does not equate to being weak.”

“I know! But Shisui has two tomoe, and he is 8! While Itachi got his Sharingan and his first kill at fucking five!!!” By the end of his rant, Obito was panting.

>Madara Uchiha (LV - 135 {68}) The Ghost of the Uchiha_OP=2→13

“...Izuna had his first kill at five too….” Obito chuckled darkly.

“Being a shinobi…sucks, right? Look at the child soldiers they make- a-and for what?!” Obito had tears in his eyes, and it was only because of his gamer mind that he wasn’t outright balling.

“You are a child too.”

“No…I’m not. I haven’t been one for a while. '' Obito wasn’t sure whether he meant that he had lost his innocence when he first felt the blood on his hands or due to his reincarnation status. Either way, the statement couldn’t have been more true.

>Madara Uchiha (LV - 135 {68}) The Ghost of the Uchiha_OP=13→22

“I know…” For a moment- just a moment Obito felt like they had come to an understanding. Like they were two simple people who had been forced down this path by the cruelty of the Shinobi world.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As Madara had once said, “all good things come to an end,” and he was right. After their heart-to-heart session, Madara had become not exactly nice to Obito, but his attitude had definitely changed. It had maybe given Obito hope that Madara would give up his plan and move on peacefully into the afterlife. His hopes were swiftly crushed like he had been by the boulder when Madara had asked him again to join him in his plan, only this time, his asking almost sounded like pleading. It was strange- no more than strange but what made it even weird was how the other male didn’t even appear mad like before, only disappointed and defeated. Obito felt like he was getting whiplash and confused beyond belief, so instead, he decided to focus on his Physical therapy and training.

It had been going pretty well, and Obito had to admit that maybe he was pushing himself pretty hard and fast. This was because there was nothing else he could do to distract himself from his thoughts and emotions. He missed Konoha and his family. He missed sparring with Kakashi, he missed going to the library with Rin, and he missed his cuddle sessions with his brothers. Not only that, but he also missed the smaller things, such as the sun on his skin, taking a warm shower, or even looking up in the night sky. Apparently, his restlessness has become so severe that even Zetsu is put off by it at times.

“Aren’t humans supposed to get tired after working for so long?” The white creature question. Obito had been left alone to be babysat by White Zetsu since swirly had to go and help Madara with some stuff.

“Well…” Obito pondered the question “yeah, you’re right, but with all this new energy from these cells, I just…need to do stuff,” he explained. The hashirama cells were so overpowered, he knew that but feeling it firsthand was another thing. He basically had near infinity chakra since the moment he used any, it was almost instantly replenished, meaning he could practice many jutsus without restraint like before, but a slight downside was that his body ached to go outside and run around a forest or just be near vegetation. However, that need was easily ignored instead for the thrill Obito felt when he saw his status.

“You know what? All that work was worth it no matter the reason,” Obito thought, giving himself a proud nod. He was still very far from his Level 100 goal to unlock his Mangekyou Sharingan.

“Obito-Kun? Are you alright?”

“Yep! Never been better; now I have to finish doing my push-ups!” However, just before he could, Zetsu stopped him.

“Actually, Madara-sama has asked me to check on you to see how your body has been developing with the Senju cells” The Uchiha raised an eyebrow.

“Do you have any experience in the medical field?”

“Not exactly, but I do have experience in Senju cells considering well-'' Zetsu gestured towards himself. “-what I am made from”

“Ah, alright.” Obito walked towards Zetsu before sitting down.

“So…what do I do?” Obito questioned.

“Nothing; all you have to do is close your eyes and tell me if you can feel anything.”

“That’s it?”

“Yes,” The boy shrugged and lifted his arm towards the white creature before closing his eyes.

“Tell me if you feel anything” Obito nodded and waited, but minutes passed, and nothing happened.

“Zetsu? Are we done yet?”

“Hmmm, Interesting” Obito frowned at the strange response.

“Hello?”

“Ah no, we have one final test.”

“Final? We haven't done anything at all ,” Obito thought, annoyed but swallowed his comment and nodded again. Suddenly there was a quiet whoosh and a soft thump. Obito waited, and finally, Zetsu responded.

“You may open your eyes now to look at what has happened” The Uchiha was puzzled, so he opened his eyes and searched until he found out what had occurred.

Obito jumped back until he was as far from Zetsu as he could. His lip began to bleed from how hard he had bitten it in an attempt to not scream, but it was really hard. Ahead of him on the floor in front of where Obito had just been sitting laid his now amputated pinky finger. The bastard had cut off one of his fingers, and Obito HAD LET HIM.

“I should have known- Zetsu doesn’t care- he didn’t-” Obito was near hyperventilating. He didn’t know whether to panic because he was missing a limb (again) or that he had been STUPID enough to trust Zetsu despite knowing what he would do in the future. Thankfully at that moment, Madara walked in with Swirly by his side.

“Madara! Your weird- Zet- He tried to kill me!” Obito had never thought he would be so relieved to see the older Uchiha, yet here they were. Madara narrowed his eyes and looked at the white bastard for an explanation.

“I was running the test you told me on Obito’s synthetic arm and came to the conclusion that Obito has no pain receptors alongside barely any feeling of touch in his new arm.”

“And…why is he saying you tried to kill him?”

“Oh, I sliced a piece of his finger to test my hypothesis, and he did not notice until I pointed it out” Madara tilted his head and then turned to Obito.

“See? You are fine, Obito, nothi-”

“HE CUT MY FINGER OFF!!! THIS IS NOT OKAY!” Okay shouted, holding his damaged hand to his chest protectively.

“So?” Obito froze

“What do you mean?! He cut my finger off!”

“It was barely half of your finger, and you’ll grow it back in a day or so”

“Grow…it back..?” Obito repeated.

“Yes, you’ll be fine, so calm yourself and stop being dramatic. Go on and rest; I’ll bring you lunch in an hour or so,” Madara turned around. “Anyways, Zetsu, I need you to come with this time for our project….”

Soon Obito slid down the wall until he landed on his behind, staring in shock at where Madara had been staying moments before. He felt like a bucket of ice water had just been dumped over his head. This encounter had woken Obito up to his situation. He had become too complacent and trusting of Madara and his helpers. He couldn’t help it! He had been stuck in this godforsaken cave for MONTHS with no one to talk to except for them. Slowly but surely, he had let his guard down and had begun to trust them, but this situation was the exact reminder Obito needed to remember that these people were not his friends. They saved him not out of kindness but because they needed a pawn, an obedient soldier…

“...That they had almost gotten….” Obito thought, disbelief running through his veins. He had thought…that maybe Madara cared, but he should have remembered and known better. Whatever fondness Madara had for Obito was not enough to overwhelm Madara’s determination to complete his plan.

“That look…was…” Cold, when Madara had calmly told him to stop being dramatic, the look in his eyes was cold. Obito hugged his knees, staring at the floor, trying to ignore the pain in his chest. He had never felt so disappointed in himself for feeling betrayed by someone who didn’t even care for him. The boy let a single teardrop fall before he stood up with a determined gaze.

Chapter 18: Rin...death????

Summary:

This book will have one final chapter since I thought the chapter was a bit long. I also apologize for such a long wait.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you for following my story for this long! I am gonna be honest that I did not expect to complete or even get this far in this story. However, with all your support, I did it. It also gave me the inspiration to write the second book for this story. I don't know when it will come out, but hopefully, it will be soon.

Chapter Text

“Obito! Obito! Your friends! They are in Danger!” Obito spat out the water in his mouth and began to choke.

“W-wait- what!?” Obito turned around to look swirly in shock. “What happened!?”

“Your friends Rin- and Kakashi are surrounded by at least 50 ninjas, and there is no one there to help them!!”

“NO! I can’t- I have to go help them” Obito ran towards the stone entrance. He looked up at the wall and ground his teeth before slamming his right arm into the wall. As expected, halfway, his arm exploded into goo, but the unexpected was the huge cracks that appeared.

“With that much damage, then I only need one more hit,” Obito calculated his next strike before reeling what reminded him of his arm hitting the wall again.

“W-wait, Obito! Stop! I can help!”Obito glanced at it swirly.

“Why? That would be going against your master, Madara’s wishes.”

“Yes! H-he may have made me- b-but you..you are the only person who made me feel alive- l-like a person. You are my friend.”

>Spiral??Zetsu?? (LV - 47) Failed*^*& Zetsu P-Pr??oject_OP=$#%$^→79

“Huh?!?” Obito’s jaw dropped somewhere down next to his knees in his shock.

Throughout his whole time in this cave, he had never gotten Any OP from either swirly or Zetsu, not even a zero! So the fact that Swirly had an OP for Obito ment that he was no longer an experiment but an actual person. As much as Obito wanted to ponder this new development, he had to go and stop Rin’s death.

“Fine- Thank you, but how will you help me-?” Before Obito could finish speaking, Swirly lunged forward and began to unravel. The pieces swirly wrapped around him, almost like a piece of clothing or armor.

“I should have remembered this,” Obito scolded himself for being freaked out over something that he should have known.

>Sentient Armor (Swirly) has been equipped.

*User now has a mild telepathic connection to the entity known as “Swirly” and has 79% control over them as long as you are wearing them and 30% control when not due to sharing the same Senju cells (Control may increase the more trust the entity “Swirly” has towards the user)*

“Huh…” Obito flexed his- well, swirly arm, and it actually felt like it was his own arm. “This is so cool- no snap out of it- save Kakashi and Rin first, then ask questions later” Obito shook his head before looking back at the rock.

“Alright, let’s do this swirly.”

“Okay, Obito-Kun!” Obito backs up, gathering enough Chakra before swinging it forward. The rock wall shook for a moment before it began to crack and crumble. Obito jumped back so as to not get struck by any rocks (again). A few seconds later, the dust cleared to reveal a small tunnel leading to the surface. Obito was about to rush through before he stopped realizing that he couldn’t leave looking like this and only wearing shorts (Despite Swirly covering them). He looked around and spotted a simple black cloak and put it on before finally heading out.

The minute Obito made it out of the tunnel, he froze as he caught sight of the outside world for the first time in months. Swirly unwrapped himself so that obito’s face was freed and he could feel the sweet cool night breeze. Obito could have cried with how incredible it was to see the sky, the stars, and just trees in general.

“Obito! We need to go!” Obito snapped out of his dazed state.

“Right. Where do we go?”

“To the left!” The Uchiha began sprinting at his top speed.

“How long will it take to get there?!” He questioned, doing his best to navigate around the trees and other obstacles in his way.

“Ummm…at this speed? one hour.”

“AN HOUR?!? Damn it…” Obito scowled as that was way too long, but he had no other way to get there faster, so he ran; he ran as hard as he could. The young male suddenly faltered for a brief moment before he began to run again, ignoring the sudden ache coming from his missing eye. He clutched it tightly, hoping that the weird sensation would go away, but it didn't. Instead, it got worse the more time he spent running until suddenly flashes of…something appeared behind his eyes whenever he closed them.

On instinct, Obito tried to push his Chakra into his missing eye to whatever was attacking him. Surprisingly it worked, sort of. The weird images and flashes were there, but the aching in his eye slowly disappeared until it was gone completely, making it easier to focus on moving. Though his eye no longer felt uncomfortable, it still felt quite strange.

Soon two familiar dots appeared on his map, but he had no time to feel happy because the next moment, multiple red dots appeared around the two dots representing Kakashi and Rin.

“Almost- ALMOST THERE-” Obito flew out of the forest to a scene that had haunted his nightmares. He watched in horror as Kakashi's hand filled with lightning was heading towards Rin, who was jumping towards Kakashi. He had arrived moments before Rin’s death, but what could he do to save her in those few seconds?!?

“Think! THINK OBITO THINK!!!” Obito shouted, and in his panic, he let go of his missing eye and, in reflex, opened it. Immediately multiple notifications appeared filled with skills that he never thought he would have. He didn’t know if it would work, but he activated one of his new skills.

“All mighty push!” Obito shouted, though his shout was more of a whisper. However, his new ability was too new, too weak, so all it did was nudge Kakashi's hand slightly, of course, but not enough to miss Rin. The sound of flesh ripping filled the air as the sounds of lighting and chirping birds faded.

“Kakashi…” Both of obito’s old and newly healed eyes filled with tears at the broken voice of rin, but he held out hope that maybe it was enough to-

>Mangekyou Sharingan (KAMUI) - The final form of the Sharingan gives the user an 90% boost in all the normal Sharingan Abilities and gives the user access to the Unique Skill: Kamui.

>KAMUI (LV - 1): The User’s Mangekyou Sharingan Ability to have and Control a Pocket Dimension for multiple uses such as transporting storage or Protection.

“No…she can’t…nononononononoNONONONONONO!!!!!” Obito screamed, knowing full well what it meant that he had acquired the Mangekyou Sharingan and wasn't at level 100. Some Things never changed, and one of those was Rin’s death, and the other was Obito’s losing control to his rage.

When he became lucid again, he was staring at the bloody face of an enemy ninja with dull eyes. He blinked once, then twice before slowly and almost robotically turning and walking towards Rin’s corpse. His friend- no, his family lay limp on the ground, covered with blood, and Kakashi lay next to her, but his chest moved slowly up and down. The Uchiha could feel something wet running down his cheeks, but he wasn’t certain whether it was blood or tears. He collapsed next to her and looked at the hold on her shoulder, and that seemed to open the floodgates.

“W-why!?...Why was what I d-did not e-enough!? She didn't deserve- they d-do not ders-ever-” Obito sobbed, reaching to hug Rin’s still warm body tightinly. “Please…p-please don’t…don’t t-take her from me…don’t take away my family f-from me….” Obito pleaded- no, he begged for someone- for anything to save her, but nobody came. For the first time since he had been reborn, he cried like a child, and he held Run until he could no more.

The silence that had filled the air was broken by the sound of sizzling and boiling water, which caused Obito to snap his eyes at the cause of such a sound. To his great bewilderment, orange chakra began to leak from the wound on Rin’s body, and slowly but surely, the injury began to heal. The moment the injury disappeared, Rin’s body jolted before the girl gasped for breath, choking for a moment before becoming a slow, steady rhythm.

>Rin Nohara(LV - 58{75}) - Medic of Team 7__OP=94__%$%^%_OP=0_

~A young medic who has been forced to become the prison for the three tails~

(Currently fine except for mild cuts and bruises)

(^#@$@$%%*& is currently curious and feels pity for the young boy)

“Three..tails? That was you wasn’t it” Obito questioned while sniffing, still in partial shock at the turn of events. Obito focused his emotional aura, and much to his surprise, he could sense very faint emotions coming from Rin but at the same time not. The aura felt startled before becoming cautious, and Obito smiled.

“I’m not…sure if you can hear me, but if you can…Thank you so much….” The three tails felt shocked and startled. The Uchiha continued, “I don’t know why you would help, but this gesture means more to me than you think and…I wished I could help you and set you free, but….” The tailed beast felt curious and a bit touched even the cautiousness from earlier was slowly disappearing.

“...that would kill Rin- the girl you are instead, so for that, I am very sorry” Obito could almost see the huge turtle nodding (her??) head in understanding. “However, I can promise you that the girl you are sealed inside is a kind individual, and I know for a fact that she would make a great friend if you gave her a chance” The three-tailed was skeptical as there was also a hint of hope. However, before Obito could continue, he noticed multiple dots heading toward his location on his map.

“That must be the backup,” Obito thought, pushing down the flicker or annoyance he felt towards them for arriving so late to help his friends. “ If the three tails- no, Isobu wasn't there then Rin would have died ” The amount of gratefulness he felt towards the tailed beast could not be explained in words, but his concern for Rin’s safety overrode giving Isobu freedom from their prison.

“I have to go- but thank you so much, and I am so sorry, but I have to ask you for a final favor even if I have no right to ask. '' Obito felt guilty for asking for more, but thankfully Isobu wasn’t upset, merely curious. “Could you…if you ever meet Rin, then could you not tell her about me? Please” Obito didn’t wait for a response because he had no more time, so with great hesitation, Obito ran back into the forest where he had come from.

“Obito? Are…you okay?”The Uchiha was startled when he heard Swirly's voice.

“I…have been better, honestly, but at the same time, I have never felt better.”

“oh…You were really scary and all, then you began to talk to your dead friend who came back to life then-” Obito interrupted

“Actually, could you also do me a favor?”

“Oh, oh! Yes! I can do that! ” The Uchiha let out a smile and amused huff at the cheerful voice.

“Would it be possible for you not to mention the whole of my friend being brought back from the dead to either Madara or Zetsu?” There was no response for a long time, and the boy began to get nervous.

“...why?” Obito paused his running, satisfied that he was far enough away.

“Sure. I am going to be honest with you, and I want you to listen, alright?”

“Hmmm? Okay”

“Madara’s plan is not a very good one and could actually lead to a literal apocalypse.”

“What does apocalypse mean?” Obito laughed, forgetting for a moment that swirly was basically a kid.

“Basically, the end of the world” Obito could sense swirly shock before the other even spoke.

“W-what!? No! Madara wants to save the entire world!”

“That is what HE WANTS but not what he is doing.”

“I- I don’t understand….” Obito sighed.

“Do you remember that one time you brought me those pretty purple flowers because I said I missed going outside?”

“Yes?”

“Do you remember what happened after you gave them to me?”

“...” The other was silent before quietly repaying guilt, “You got really sick, and your skin turned all red and weird looking ” Apparently, swirly had gotten him flowers that were poisonous to humans, so it was a real miracle that all Obito got a really bad rash for a few days.

“Yes, you gave me something that YOU thought would be a nice thing to do, but instead, it hurt me.”

“So Madara is doing a nice thing, but it would hurt instead of being nice?”

“Yes, you got it” It was a relief that swirly was able to catch on so quickly-

“Let's just go tell Madara that he is wrong! ” If Obito had been drinking water, he would have done a spit take.

“What?!?- No! That is a bad idea!”

“Why, though? If we tell him it is bad, then he’ll stop like I did!” The white creature said it in such a matter-of-fact tone that Obito wanted to agree with the keyword almost.

“Swirly, I love you, but please think about what you just said”

“You love swirly!!!”

>Spiral??Zetsu?? (LV - 48) Failed Zetsu Project_OP=79→81

“Yes, but now think about what Madara hates.”

“Oh, oh! I know it is to fail at something!- oh, and be wrong!”

“Exactly, now imagine what would happen to us or- me if we told him his plan was bad and he was wrong?”

“Not good things….” The other whispered with dawning relaxation coming from his voice.

“Not good things,” Obito agreed. “So, will you please not tell Madara about what happened?”

“Hmmm…okay, but what do I say then?”

“You can say everything that happened except that Rin, my friend, stayed dead and didn’t come back.” The creature- no- obito’s friend agreed, and the Uchiha felt relieved when his truth skill confirmed that they were telling the truth.

Now that the immediate crisis was averted, that brought Obito to something else that had been bugging him. He opened his once missing eye and much to his shock, he could see out of it- actually see a little too well. It made him feel sort of stupid for not attempting to heal his eye before, but now that he did, the eye he had was not the one he had expected.

Rinnegan Eye (Level - 2) - This special eye allows the user to have an extremely better vision to see through ANYTHING and use the six path abilities. However, due to only having one Rinnegan, the abilities have been cut in half, meaning not all six path abilities are available. (Only available abilities are All mighty Push, Chakra rods, access to all chakra Natures, and Rinnegan Rebirth)

“Okay, the ability may be slightly nerfed, but still!” Obito reread the skill a few times just to see if his eyes were playing tricks on him, but they weren’t. Somehow he had gotten the fucking RINNEGAN, but the more Obito thought about it, the more it made sense. Obito was an Uchiha who had Senju DNA, so, therefore, the possibility of getting the Rinnegan is there, much like how Madara unlocked his the same way. Even Sasuke unlocked it by getting Senju chakra, but the principle was the same.

“Apparently, mix Uchiha and Senju to get the Rinnegan….” Obito wasn't sure whether to laugh or not at the turn of events.

***WARNING****WARNING****

-User has reached critical levels in Chakra-

320/15,100 <+620>

“Oh, Fuc-!” Obito immediately shut his eyes, and thankfully that stopped the Chakra from dropping to rabid levels.

“Obito? What happened? ” Swirly asked, confused.

“Nothing! I just thought about something!” Obito quickly responded, “Now, let’s go back to the cave. Remember what you promised!”

“Okay!” The white creature happily responded. Obito began running back towards the Madara’s cave though at a much slower pace than he had earlier since now he was starting to feel exhaustion slowly creeping up on him.

He knew that the Rinnegan cost a lot of chakra tissue, but Obito had only used it once. Then after he only kept his eye open, yet the chakra cost was extreme.

“That would mean that Nagato’s chakra levels must be…HUGE” Obito didn’t know whether he was jealous or not of the uzumaki’s chakra levels, but either way, it was impressive. However, as much as the rinnegan could be an advantage, it was also a huge issue for Obito unless…

“Maybe…I can control the amount of Chakra used by the rinnegan. After all, my control is nearly 100%” Obito focused on doing just that, and strangely, as soon as Obito tried to do so, the rinnegan…deactivated? The Uchiha had felt the same sensation he felt when he deactivated his Sharingan, which could only mean one thing.

Obito looked around until he saw a small pond and looked into it. As he saw his reflections for the first time in months, he noticed multiple things, such as his long hair, scars, and pale skin. However, the main thing that stood out to him was that his empty socket, or what should have been empty, had a brand new black eye staring at him.

"Wait..hold on, not black" on closer inspection, the new eye was not actually the same shade of black as his original eye; instead, it was a deeper shade of purple that looked like black. It made sense he could deactivate it; after all, this new eye was his, not someone else's.

"Obito…?" The Uchiha heard his new friend speak up, and Obito composed himself and closed his new eye to keep it hidden.

"Nothing, let's go back."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Many things happened when Obito returned, and one of them was that he had managed to convince Madara that he was willing to join his cause. It wasn't too hard to pretend, considering he had his Mangekyou Sharingan, which could only be obtained one way. Afterward, Madara began to personally train himself in the ways of the old Uchiha techniques and not only that but also how to pretend to be him. He learned how to alter his voice and body language, gaining a new skill that he used nearly all his SP points to upgrade.

(-Deactivated-) Perfect Acting (Level MAX) The ability to go into an act perfectly into a created personality and gain completely different body language, personality, taste, voice, etc. (This does not include scents) Once going into a persona, everything you do will be in character unless skill has been deactivated.

~CURRENT CREATED PERSONAS~

Madara

"This would be something a skilled shinobi would kill for. Well, not like that is such a high price to pay considering murder is the norm for ninjas ," Obito mused dryly at how helpful this skill would be for undercover missions or just the general ninja deception.

At least Madara seemed pleased at Obito's dedication towards his training for his "Eye of the Moon plan." In reality, Obito was absorbing the training like the thirsty little sponge he was because he was learning actual skills and techniques from Madara freaking Uchiha. Plus, it was sort of bittersweet, finally being able to learn the Uchiha shinobi arts after being denied learning them for so long. Don't get him wrong, he really appreciated Sakumo teaching him his own clan's martial arts and all, but it just felt right learning the Uchiha (Though it was a bit sad that he learned from a rogue and declared dead Uchiha, then again he is the most powerful Uchiha).

>Madara Uchiha (LV - 135 {68}) The Ghost of the Uchiha_OP=40→57

As he learned more and more, Madara grew to like him more, and Obito would have felt more guilty for basically betraying Madara if he wasn't aware of how much of a bad idea the plan was. Thankfully the older Uchiha seemed to not suspect a thing which also meant that Swirly had kept his promise. It was strange to think of the white creature as his friend, but at the same time, he was glad he had someone he could trust. Then suddenly, Madara had been gone for a few days, the longest time they had spent apart since Obito had returned. It was strange, but Obito did not think of it too much, more focused on trying to raise his level up to 80, but he just knew that something was up.

He was proved right when Zetsu arrived and told him to follow him into a familiar doorway. This immediately set off alarms in his mind because he had never been allowed anywhere near what he assumed to either be Madara's room or lab. Zetsu paused when he noticed that the younger Uchiha wasn't following.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go."

"Ummm…You…do know I am not allowed in there, right?" Zetsu stared at him, unimpressed,

"In normal circumstances, but Madara-sama needs to see you right now."

"Oh…" Obito was slowly coming to the conclusion something was wrong with his weird enemy/savior/captor/teacher. "Okay then, let's go see, Madara."

~CURRENT CREATED PERSONAS~

Madara

Rinnegan Eye (Level - 2) - This special eye allows the user to have extremely better vision to see through ANYTHING and use the six path abilities. However due to only having one Rinnegan the abilities have been cut in half meaning not all six path abilities are available. (Only available abilities are All mighty Push, Chakra rods, access to all chakra Natures, and Rinnegan Rebirth )

Senju Vitality (MAX???) - Gives users a higher boost in all defensive and Healing capabilities.

Chakra Regeneration (Level MAX??) - Allows users to regenerate from life threatening injuries so long as enough Chakra is available.

Wood Style Jutsu (Level 9) - Allows users to manipulate trees, wood and even nature to an extent. You also gain the ability to track anyone inside a forest and within a 200 Meter radius.

Observe (MAX) - This allows the user to see information about a person, item, or thing as long as you are close enough to it.

GenJutsu (LV - 16) The ability to trick your opponents with the use of illusions. The chances of trapping someone are 38% depending on the mental strength of the opponent.

(Due to Uchiha’s Natural talent and sharingan you get a 20% boost when casting a genjutsus with the sharingan active)

Chakra Control (LV - 88) - This skill allows you to use your chakra and control it for different purposes.

Mangekyou Sharingan (KAMUI) - The final form of the Sharingan gives the user an 90% boost in all the normal Sharingan Abilities and gives user access to the Unique Skill: Kamui.
