Broken Pieces (Naruto and Boruto Reader Insert)

Obito's Ending Part 1

Pain and suffering, that is mostly what changes people for better or for worse. Everyone is strong but sometimes you need people at your side to bear with the pain. You supposed that was what people like Obito changed the way he did. The only person he once trusted was Kakashi, and with the death of Rin, and Kakashi's involvement with it, he lost all the compassion he once has.

He lived and was fed with rage for years, and even now, as he watched Kakashi from afar, you could still see that hatred. It was a beautiful day, despite the destruction left after the war, it was still a beautiful day. People tried to live, to move on from their  own pain too. "Obito," you called out to the male who stood at your side. Everyone else was busy, trying to resolve their personal problems. "The two of you need to talk," you turned to face the man, the merchant stepped back and allowed whatever privacy she could provide for the two of you.

"I have nothing to talk about with him," his eyebrows had been furrowed, his eyes had been filled with so much hate when he looked at Kakashi. However, when he turned his gaze shifted to you, their softened.

It was painful to watch  the male in so much pain, he had yet to heal from his past. This time your eye softened as you offered a comforting smile, "Do you think Rin would be happy to see you like this? S-"

"You never met her," he snapped as he looked away, "Kakashi had so many options to save her. He chose the easiest route."

So many options, yes, but Obito still refused to accept that it wasn't Kakashi's  fault. "I never met her but I do not have to. She seem like a kind person, someone who would hate to see you like this. Filled with so much hate that it has and is still preventing you from living your life happily. Look around you," you motioned around you, to the people, to everything. "We're alive, and we have people who care for us. We have everything we need to forge a happy life. Why do you refuse t-"

"Alive?" He scoffed, "do not be such a hypocrite. If anything, you're asking for death by going through that treatment." The more he spoke, the more he became angrier. "Twice," he took a step forward, his gaze digging deep into your soul, "you almost died twice."

He was not wrong, the treatment almost cost you your life twice. But other than that, you did not see any progress. Letting out a long breath you looked away and at the ground. The pain in your chest, the one that you always masked returned. Obito could see it flash in your eyes. "I'm trying to find my happiness," and you found it, you did. You had wonderful people around you, people with Obito who stuck to your side at all times. Obito had been at your side, and although silent, always supported you.

"Is finding a cure that important that you're willing to risk your life?" His voice was not as cold as it normally was, it was gentler.

"It is," you looked at him, raised your hands to touch your face. "Look at me," you swallowed hard, pushing the pain away. "Should I be happy to look like this for as long as I live?  Should I be happy to be alive when everyone else ages and die? Should I be happy to slowly lose everyone that I love? To..." To fall in love, form a family (if possible) and see them fade away?

Lose those you loved? Obito scanned your face, it was a painful topic. He knew that and he he still see it by the way you forced those tears away. To everyone else perhaps it was a blessing to have what you had. Any woman would give everything they had to never age, people would sacrifice everything to love for ever. But those were selfish fools. Fools who loved no one but themselves.

It was easy to judge others, and that was what he did. Only because he cared for you. He lost everyone that he once loved, he did not want to lose...You too. To lose you, some he truly cared for. If he were to lose you...That mad him see things differently. It made him understand. "Will that," he paused as he turned away, "make you happy?"

"It would," he didn't have his sight on you so he could not see you, but he felt your warm hand in his as you began to pull him with you. "I'll be able to age like everyone else and...And form a family," he could detect a hint of excitement on your voice. He watched you from the corner of his eyes, a smile started to form on your lips as you walked side by side.

Slowly his lips formed a small smile, there had been only one person who made him feel so warm. Who made him feel at peace, but those feelings returned and stronger. At your side all his pain,all his rage was gone. You brought in him calmness, peace and happiness. Those  feelings were addicting, and he wanted to keep feeling them.

A family?...His hold tightened, you turned to face him and smile at him. He once told himself that he would give you all that you desired. If a family was what you wanted, then a family he shall provide.

[Name] Uchiha...He...He liked the sound of that.
