Confessions Of The Red Eye 🔚

Entry 12

Name: Kakashi Hatake

Age: 31

Obito is alive.

Fuck.

Obito Uchiha, my best friend, the one who supposedly died protecting me... is fucking alive.

These entries are in my head. I'm racing through each, filing through my memories, reliving the same day, the same hour, the same minute, the very second when the rock crushed him. When he gave me his eye, when he told me he would always think I'm a good Jonin, to see the world with his eye, to protect Rin, and then... the rocks crushing him.

Sweat this pouring down my face. I'm immobilized. I can't speak. I'm fucking shocked and scared.

I'm swearing a lot but I don't give a fuck. I'm terrified of what's happening right now. I hear Guy mumble.

"Is he really Obito...? Isn't he supposed to be dead?"

I stare into Obitos eyes, and they bore with hate into mine. His red eye that matched mine swirled, changing into the same advanced Sharingan I had...

"........ No mistake, he's Obito Uchiha."

I hear a deep, gravely voice reply to my words, and my throat goes dry.

"You can call me by that name if you want. To me, it means nothing."

My vision blurs, and my memories travel back to the Battle at Kanabi Bridge, where he "died".

"KAKASHI!" Obito hollered as I screamed and fall against the tree branch.

"MY EYE!" I moan in pain, blood gushing, and I hold my hand against it to stop the pain, with no avail.

****

"Its my turn to protect my friends." Obito determinedly said, stabbing the Cloud Ninja in the stomach, and the nin fell, his body thumping on the wood.

"Obito, you..." I mumbled, seeing his eyes flashing a hue of red. His Sharingan was finally awoken.

"That time... you..." I mumbled, and I see him narrow his eyes, a seething look that was towards me.

Running out the cave, rocks began to fall, and the three of us sprinted, but I felt a rock hit my head, and fell down, yelling. A huge rock was about to crush me, and death was in my eyes.

"Kakashi!" Obito screamed, and he ran back, but after that I had a glimpse of what happened.

He picked me up and chucked my away from the huge rock, and I slipped into darkness.

A few minutes later, Rin and I came back from fainting, and looked around, rubbing our eyes, and then we hear,

"A-are you okay? Rin... Kakashi?" We scream.

"OBITO!"

I race over, and try to pick up the rock, grunting.

"SHIT!" I scream in frustration. I hear Obito mumble in small voice.

"Stop, it's okay... I'm done Kakashi. The right side of my body is almost completely crushed, I can't even feel anything anymore." Obito whispers and Rin begins to sob. I drop to the ground, pounding the firm dirt.

"I'm not worthy of being a captain.... or a Jonin!" I scream.

"By the way... thats right... I'm the... only one... that didn't give you a present when you became Jonin... Kakashi." I looked up, surprised. He looks at me with a soft smile.

"You can have my eye... my Sharingan." My eyes widen. 

After Rin transplants them, I open my new eye with tears, looking at Obitos now closed eye, blood pouring from his cheeks.

When I climb out of the cave, his voice barely audible, he whispers,

"I leave Rin... to you..."

With that, the cave starts to close in and I grab Rins hand, pulling her out as she screams Obitos name.

I take one, final look, and I see a glimpse of Obito's closed eye.

His name flashes through my mind.... and then I turn to run.

"Did you.. survive..?" I blinked in horror. 

"Who is he?" Naruto yells. Guy answers him back.

"He's and Uchiha, a shinobi of the Leaf that used to be our classmate. He was supposed to have died in a fight during the last war.."

I stare at Obito, who turned his back to me.

"If you were alive.. how come until now....?" A reply comes in a monotone voice.

"Whether "I" survived or not is not important. However.. yeah.. if you really want to know why..." He stops, and I feel like I know what he's about to say. A silence was brought between us.

"......." I say nothing.

"......" The favor was returned to me.

And then he finally spoke.

"Its because.... you let Rin die." 

Sweat streams down my face and my heart thumps. My head is filled with memories of Rin, especially the nightmares I would have right after.... right after I killed her.

Guy lets out a small gasp, his eyes widening.

"Hahaha, don't be hasty," He continues.

"And don't make that face, Kakashi..." I regain a minimal amount of sanity and swallow the bile I want to throw up.

"......Aren't you going to blame me?"

With an annoyed look, Obito sighs.

"Its pointless to blame this useless reality."

I look down in shame. In guilt. In fear. In horror. So many emotions are going through me.

"I'm not interested in this world, since it's going to disappear." Obito continued, raising his arms.

Guy looks at me, worried.

Then I hear a familiar shout.

"KAKASHI-SENSEI!! I DUNNO WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN THAT GUY AND YOU... BUT IT'S NOT THE TIME TO GET DEPRESSED ABOUT IT! I'LL LISTEN TO THE STORY LATER. NOW IT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO STOP HIM FROM CARRYING ON HIS PLAN!" My student, Naruto Uzumaki shouts with courage and esteem.

"Naruto..." Guy softly mumbled. I don't face him, my eyes trained to the ground.

"KAKASHI! NARUTO IS RIGHT! THE WORLD IS IN OUR HANDS, NOW!" I let out a choked sigh, unable to move, think, feel, but strength begins to rise me. I look up slightly.

I hear Obito talk again, and feel him use Kamui.

"I have nothing to say to you. Just DIE, bound by this reality, you scum," He cackles, and released a Fire style jutsu.

"KAKASHI!" He screamed, and shouts "BAKUFUU RANBU! FIRE BOMB JUTSU!" 

Narutos tails protect me as the rocks are blown into the air and I sink deeper into the darkness.
