Vilification

Chapter 5

Running atop the roofs, Kakashi and Obito charge towards the direction of the explosion. When they arrived, clouds of smoke and fire burning rose from what used to be a pub. Deidara stood in front of the building they stood on. A group of what appears to be rogue nin stood in front of the burning pub glaring at Deidara who looked really pissed off.

"Fucking bastard! If you can't pay back your debt then don't ask for it!"

When Deidara heard two pairs of sandals drop on the ground behind him he turned to sneer, but once his eyes landed on two familiar 'faces' he rolled his eyes, mumbling out, "Took you long enough".

"Deidara-senpai~ It seems Deidara-senpai has found our debtor. So are they all in debt with Akatsuki?"

"Hmph, no." Deidara points towards a guy holding onto his bleeding and burned arm, behind the rest of the group. "That's our guy. These guys are merely his group of friends."

Kakashi stares at the group unimpressed, "Maa, from what I'm seeing right now he's refusing to pay back."

"DAMN RIGHT!!! FORGET ABOUT FORCING HIM TO PAY BACK!!! I'M GONNA KILL THIS DAMN BASTARDS!!!"

"Maa, Pein-san wouldn't-"

" LIKE I GIVE A SHIT!!!!"

Deidara threw a bunch of his clay spiders towards the rogue nin and they scattered away quickly, while explosions happened everywhere. Obito had wrapped his arms around Kakashi and jumped away from the debris flying towards them.

As Kakashi and Obito landed at a safe distance from Deidara's explosions, Obito quietly whispers in Kakashi's ear, "Are you able to fight?"

Nodding, he whispers back, "So much for taking an 'easy-going' mission. I can still fight, however I might accidentally end up opening the wound on my chest. So long as I don't do anything too straining, I'll be fine."

Obito hums deeply and nods, "Alright, but if you can't seem to continue on with this fight, I want you to pull away. Don't be a reckless idiot again, I don't want you to end up hurt, alright?"

"Hai, Hai."

Obito swiftly took off to where he could hear Deidara yelling obscenities at the rogues. Kakashi went to follow as well, however both were then intervened by five rogues. One of them was their debtor whose arm is now covered in dried blood. Kakashi almost felt irritated that the bastard, even though injured, is confident he'll be able to defeat him.

"So, it's true then. Friend-Killer Kakashi has gone rogue, huh?",the debtor said, looking Kakashi over.
Kakashi gritted his jaw tightly when he heard that nickname.

He's not wrong, an inner part of Kakashi had said. Even though that nickname is true, it still doesn't mean that it didn't hurt him any less.

" So tell me, did you end up killing another friend? Is that how you went rogue? Hah, I'm surprised you hadn't gone rogue when killing your first friend!", the debtor and his friends began laughing mockingly at Kakashi. Kakashi doesn't say anything and Obito stands beside him silently.

Their laughter was then cut off when a rock was thrown onto one of them. Small trickle of blood, dripping down from their comrade's head. Both Kakashi and the rogues looked towards the direction the rock was thrown to see Tobi throwing a rock up and gravity making it fall back on his gloved palm.

"Ne~ Tobi really doesn't appreciate you vile creatures insulting Tobi's Kashi. Tobi will have to punish you." Obito crushes the rock in his gloved palm while Kakashi felt a cold, dreadful shiver down his spine when Obito emphasized the word 'punish'.
