(Y/N) POV
After my many days in the hospital. It felt good to leave.
I was able to sleep in my own bed. Get a good night's sleep.
And now I'm waiting at the gates that lead into the leaf village.
"Brother," Obito says as he arrives at the meeting place.
I haven't seen him since the night of Naruto's birth a couple of times. And even then it was dark out.
Obito has changed. Half his neck is a slightly different colour than the other side and he looks older. Not the mention the side of his face...evidence of his struggle I guess
Although that's to be expected I guess... it's been a couple of years.
To my surprise, Rin was beside him.
"I see Rin is tagging along with you. Is she seeing you off or is she joining us?" I ask the pair
"Lord Fourth has requested that I assist you until we split ways. My main mission is to ensure that no negative effects are looming over you from the night of Naruto's birth," she says as she looks at Obito.
"Also, to keep you two on task," she says with a smirk.
"What else are we gonna do? Play pong?" I joke as she giggles
"Maybe," she alludes.
"Come on, we can't waste time," Obito says as we start travelling at ninja speed.
"What's the rush?" I ask him
"Madara will only get harder to track the longer we wait," he points out
"Obviously he took care of you after that incident," I tell him as he looks at me.
"He manipulated me," he says with a strained look in his eyes before looking at Rin with the eyes I remember so much.
My brother is alive. And since learning that I've barely talked to him at all.
I remember teasing him about his crush on Rin. The pinkness that floods his face
"So...what's the story?" I ask him as he looks at me confused
"What do you mean?" He asks
"After Kakashi and Rin came back...I went to the location where you "died" I couldn't find a body, so at the time I assumed the enemy ninja took your body to study your eyes...obviously that didn't happen," I told him
"Oh...I don't remember, but I remember waking inside a cavern. And Madara took care of me," Obito begins explaining.
Madara trained him, alongside two caretakers who he referred to as Zetsu and Tobi.
"actually the half of my body that was crushed was replaced by the same stuff the Zetsu are made of," he tells me
"So it's like living matter?" I ask
"Yeah," he mutters
"Hmm, good to know," I say
What type of being is that? And how many are there?
Obito only speaks of two of these creatures...but I suspect there's a larger picture.
Hours pass of us flying through trees at breakneck speeds
"I think it's time for a rest," Rin says as we sit down.
The girl swings her backpack in front of her and starts digging through it.
"I got lunch for us," she says swinging a couple of sandwiches in front of us.
"Hmm, thanks," I say as she passes me one. She moves to Obito to give him one
Obito looks at it for a second. Then finally he grabs it
Rin sits down across from both of us forming a triangle shape of sorts.
I'm the first to take a bite of the sandwich
"Tastes good," I mutter as I look at Obito.
He has a tear running down his face
"Obito, is something wrong with the sandwich?" Rin asks worriedly
"No...the sandwich is wonderful...just I never thought I'd get the chance to experience this...I thought you were dead. I thought I'd never be able to return to the lead village...I'm thankful it was a dream...I broke when Madara showed me your dead body in my dreams," he says in a low and weak voice.
He wasn't crying...but anyone could tell the amount of pain in his words.
Rin just smiles
"We've been talking for days..and I was getting worried that you changed," Rin says as he looks at her
"But your the same Obito back from when we were kids," she says getting a little teary-eyed herself
The two experience a moment of silence. A moment of self-reflection.
When we were younger, Obito always talked about how Rin idolized Kakashi. I remember so many days when he would come to me and ask how to get stronger so he could beat Kakashi and impress Rin.
He never did beat Kakashi but I remember Rin's reaction to Obito's death. No one could have an production conversation with her but me. She shut down after his death
I remember that she was apologizing for every second word when we spoke. As if she was responsible for his death.
She well and truly missed Obito.
Seeing the two crying in front of me. Lifted my spirits. It helped me not think about my 10-year mission.
It helped me not think about the fact I wouldn't see Kushina for 10 years. It didn't matter.
I looked at the two young adults in front of me. Rin looking at Obito. And Obito looking at Rin,
Both were in complete awe of the sight that they provided each other.
I smile a little bit.
At that moment I knew that they both liked each other.
I know that one day Obito will have the best day of his life.
I know that Rin's apparent attraction to Kakashi was purely something that was superficial.
Girls always liked the cool and flashy guys.
But when they grow up, that attraction sometimes shifts...just like now.
Looking at those two.
I do not doubt that one day, Rin will make Obito the happiest guy on earth.
But until that day...we have a mission
"Break is over, let's get a move on love birds," I say as their faces go bright pink.
At this rate, I'll be surprised if they aren't dating by the time we split in our missions
Knotavin: Hi dear readers. How do you like the story so far? Little warning going into later parts, there may be disruptions between this book at the original plot. This is purely done to make it flow better with my story. I do my best to blend them together nicely, but the naruto verse is extremely huge and the chances of me missing small details are big. And I tend to change the story quite a bit. I'll try to keep it as simple and easy to understand as possible. Anyway, hope you enjoy the read
