Something New

Defeating the Enemy

As soon as I could, I gave Naruto-nii the signal. We jumped out of the way and then Naruto went to attack with his Rasenshiriken, I slapped Obito for his stupidity. Kaguya managed to dodge and she changed the dimension again. It allowed more movement for the others, so Sasuke joined Naruto-nii. I stood there in front of the lovable baka with tears streaming down my cheeks.

"Why?! Why would you want to do that? When you have something to live for now, precious people that you can protect... you can't do that very well when you're dead." I said.

"Nozomi! Not here! This isn't the place." Kakashi-sensei said.

"No! You stay out of this damn it! You both were about to give up. Why? What's so much more important on the other side that you can't even think about living anymore? Ha, don't answer that... I already know the answer. But, tell me... would she really want you both to just give up? If living for me and the twins isn't enough than perhaps you can think to live for her. Just don't thank me later, I can't live my life around maybes." I said.

I moved away from the old Team Minato and joined the fight. Kicking and punching, defending with my chains. Kaguya managed to get a good hit on me though, I fell from so high that I thought I was done for. Until I felt a pair of arms under me. Then, I looked to see that Obito had caught me and he was standing in his newly acquired susanoo with Kakashi-sensei and Sakura-chan.

He looked upset and I touched his scarred cheek smiling. It seemed to calm him and he smiled back while leaning his face into my palm. Soon, we all worked together as members of Team 7 past and present. Sasuke and Naruto-nii finally sealed away Kaguya and threw Black Zetsu with her.

As we returned from that dimension, aniki and I were able to say goodbye to tōchan; we were crying when we finished telling him everything we wanted him to know. He said he would tell kāchan too. Kakashi-sensei and Obito also said goodbye, tōchan forgave the Uchiha for his betrayal.

I wanted to spend more time with tōchan and I wished I could have met kāchan. I wished they could have met the twins. I was brought out of my musings when I felt a pair of soft lips upon my own. It was tender and loving, and when I opened my eyes; I found that the other person was Obito.
