Ch. 15 For the Village

I do not own the song above.

Previously

I hope they saved Kakashi. I think before everything goes dark.

Present

I slowly open my eyes and blink. I shoot up but a pain that rocked my entire body stops be from sitting upright. I put a hand on my stomach and wince. If I feel pain than I'm still alive, right? I didn't understand. How was I alive?

"Come on! You don't know anything about me! You just don't want her here because you think she's a liability! Can't you just trust me that she isn't?!" I heard a voice that I thought I wouldn't here again. I turned my heard and my eyes widened. I slowly pushed myself into a sitting position, ignoring the pain. Slowly, my feet touched the ground and I was standing. I kept my hand on the bed for support.

"O... bi... to?" I whisper. He turned and smiled before putting a hand up to wave.

"See? I told you she was strong!" Obito yelled, looking away from me. I followed his gaze. It was an old man who seemed to be getting power from a statue behind him. I couldn't see any definitive details on the statue other than a pair of hands forming a hand sign.

"What... What happened? Why aren't you dead?" I asked.

"Oh! I'm alive because Madera-san saved me! He said I unlocked my Mangekyo Sharingan and that it saved me. Pretty cool huh?" Obito said. I slowly started taking shaky steps toward him. I felt like I was in a trance and couldn't snap myself out of it. When I finally reached Obito, I put my index and middle fingers on his throat to check for a pulse. My eyes widened a fraction when I felt one. I let out a shaky breath and grabbed onto his shoulder. He was actually alive.

"Rin?" Obito asked, his smile gone.

"You're actually alive... You've been here the entire time and we never knew," I mutter, my hand dropped from his shoulder. Obito smiled and pulled me into a hug. I was shocked at first but quickly returned the hug. When we pulled away from each other, I turned to who I presumed to be Madera. As far as I could tell, the statue was the source of his power. He had to have help somewhere around here.

I felt a trembling in the stone beneath my feet and jumped back. I went to get a weapon from my kunai pouch but found it missing along with all of my other supplies. My breath hitched in my throat. I would have to rely on my chakra and jutsu if a battle occurred until I could find my weapons.

I carefully watched Obito and Madera in case they made a move. The trembling in the ground quickly grew more pronounced and soon enough, the ground where I was standing before started to break apart. I jumped away and moments later, a plant came out. The plant was split in a zigzag pattern and revealed a man inside. He was two different colors, black and white.

"So the girl's awake hm?" Two different voices came from the man. I assumed each voice was for the two different sides of the person. I was wary of him so I kept my distance.

"What is it, Zetsu?" Obito asked. So his name was Zetsu. I didn't trust him.

"I didn't think that brat would be awake this soon," Zetsu said.

"And why is that?" I asked.

"Your wounds. They were fatal," Zetsu said.

"I figured," I said.

"Why would you do that, Rin?" Obito asked.

"I did it for the Leaf. A group of Iwa ninja had taken me hostage and sealed the three tailed beast, Isobu, inside me. I was a ticking timebomb. I wanted to protect the same village you wanted to become the Kage of," I said. Obito enveloped me in a bone crushing hug.

"Thank you, Rin," Obito whispered.

"You don't need to thank me. I wanted to protect your dream," I said softly.

"You were willing to give up your life for the Leaf," He said sadly.

"So were you," I said. "Obito... Is there a way I can help you besides being a medic?"

"We don't have anyone in the village, right Zetsu?" Obito asked. Zetsu nodded.

"You want me to become a spy?" I asked.

"Only if you're willing," Obito said.

"I'll do it. How long was I out for?" I asked.

"One month. Ready, brat?" Zetsu asked. I smirked.

"Why wouldn't I be ready? I have a job to do, right?" I asked, hoping I sounded confident when in reality, I was so, so scared. I didn't want to spy on my home.

"Be careful, Rin. I don't want to lose you again," Obito said.

"You too. And when am I not careful?" I asked. Obito laughed.

Hey everyone! I hope you enjoyed the chapter! I know this is a major turn of events but Rin and Obito are still alive. That's good right?

Also! Please remember that Rin asked Obito if he could remember if she was ever irrational or wasn't carful. That will come into play in the future.

Anw... I hope you have a good day/night and I'll see you in the next chapter!
