Alternate Sides - [Kakashi & Obito AU]

"This life, which had been the tomb of his virtue and of his honor, is but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
- William Shakespeare

Obito watches the children scatter amongst the battlegrounds. They left no single trace. They were completely hidden.

He waits for any movement, any action that were to aim towards him, but there was not a single peep from the children.

'Just what I expect from genin wannabes...'

Obito grinned and adjusts his orange goggles that was on top of his headband. He could remember... He could remember his younger days in which he was a genin.

He was the troublemaker.

"Bakashi" was always the one that would successfully complete the mission.

And Rin; Rin was always the supporter. She cheered on for him and Kakashi. She was the backbone of the whole team.

He missed them, dearly. Both Kakashi and Rin... His team. His comrades.

His best friends.

He blinks and swipes at his single eye. Tears submerged from the corner of his orb, even his non-working, left eye.

Nothing changed. He was always titled "Crybaby Obito".

Rule twenty-five. He had to remember rule twenty-five. Twenty-five. Twenty-five.

Shinobi do not cry. Shinobi do not show a hint of emotion.

Shinobi are weapons.

Seeing that their sensei was distracted by his own thoughts, Brat gestured for her teammates to intercept him.

"Damn sensei is distracted. It's time for each of us to attack, individually..." She states with a low tone.

The two other boys glanced at each other before Idiot voiced his opinion;

"Don't you think we should attack him all at once? He's a jounin."

Brat only glares at Idiot with a snort,"That's what he expects us to do. We'll fail. He knows what we want to do. They don't call him a jounin for nothing. We attack, solo."

Brat twirls her kunai in her hand and shows off a menacing grin,"Let's get him."

Snob nods and positions himself over the tree branch, taking grasp of his shuriken. Idiot swallows thickly and shakily grips his tanto with both hands.

Obito breathes evenly before he opens his eye and narrows his single orb. He had to teach these troublesome children a lesson.

His single eye swirls into the familiar crimson hue. The pupil is surrounded by three comma-shaped tomoe, and just by one glance, Brat definitely recognized who this man was titled under.

Uchiha. He was an Uchiha. And Uchiha had the infamous Sharingan.

Brat continued to surge forward, moving from her hiding spot and letting out a war cry. She aimed the kunai towards Obito's vital organs.

The older male smirks, dodging the swipes and useless attacks that Brat protruded. Her killing intent rises and her strikes grew focused.

"You son of a bitch!" She growls, bringing the kunai towards Obito's jugular, only for her wrist to be grabbed by him.

"You have a nice position in your form, but not enough strength." Obito states with a grin, pinning the girl to the ground and twisting her arm behind her back,"Not enough to be a shinobi."

Brat grunts and smirks,"Not enough? Please, sensei. You're the one that's crying..." She uses his hesitation as a distraction before aiming a kick to his groin.

Obito yelps and groans in pain as Brat breaks free from his grip and moves to take the bells.

"I'll take that..." Brat smirks as she reaches for the silver object that hung at her sensei's belt. To her surprise, Obito's body dispersed and he was gone.

She stared at the empty area in which her sensei was at before cursing aloud,"Dammit! He's fucking gone! Son of a-!" Brat furiously kicks at the ground before glancing up at the trees where her teammates hid.

"Why the hell did you two not attack him!?" Brat growled lowly, eyeing the two dangerously. The two boys shuddered, Idiot spoke up,"You didn't give us a signal..."

"The fuck with signals!" Brat screeches and hurls a kunai at one of her teammates. Idiot yelps and Snob deflects the weapon with his own kunai. "Fucking find him!"

Idiot shakily nods and Snob scowls before jumping down from his hiding position.

"This is just a test, y'know. It's not some sort of survival game," Snob mutters under his breath before hurrying off to search for his sensei.

Obito watches the cute little children scatter and search for him.

Brat was treacherously close to taking one of the bells on his belt. It had prove nonetheless that she was capable of becoming a shinobi.

Yet, he did not approve of how her management on her own team. She could not handle leadership, but she was one, or she thought she was, capable as one.

Idiot and Snob were the followers. Their thoughts were simple; be directed, follow, succeed.

Obito had never evaluated as thoroughly and deeply as of now. Minato-sensei had stated that Kakashi was always the one that did most of the evaluation in the squad.

The jounin smirked as he watches the three children, aggravatingly pursue for him.

His little students were being a little risky to presume searching for him.

Obito's lone, crimson orb glazes at the sight of each individual child.

They were not going to pass this exam at all. They were not fit to be genin, yet.

Obito chuckles before dropping down from the bulky tree and lazily pulls out a kunai to deflect the incoming attack from Idiot, who jolted with surprise before lunging.

Idiot was truly going to fall in his trap. Obito grins as soon as Idiot's blade found its' way towards him. All was going with plan....

"Go to hell, ya' stupid sensei!" The boy screamed out and surged forward with the menacing sword. Obito only smirked and dodged the sharpness of the weapon. His hand reaches for the hilt of the sword and he sweeps Idiot's legs right underneath him.

Bingo.

Obito swiftly pulls out two kunais and plunges them to the ground, crossing right over the child's neck. The boy shuddered in fright as he stayed in his unmoving position on the ground.

"Too bad you were not fast enough. I thought you were going to take one of these bells... Tough break." Obito whistles and dangles the bells in front of Idiot, who seemed completely mortified.

'Time to get rid of two more of the little newbies...'
