The work of fate

Ch 17 - the boulder

Obito POV—

I had just fought the Stone Ninja that would've taken Rin If i hadn't traveled back in time.

Being at the level i am now it was quite easy fighting them off, it was also calming knowing that Kakashi would be protecting Rin

"You guys alright?" I turned around and asked, once i was sure the Stone Ninja were gone

"Y-Yeah just a bit shaken, it was a bit too close for comfort" Rin Said a little skolen up, After all they had tried to go After her exclusively, probably because they Saw heraf the weak link

I made sure to act as If we Got close to loosing, couldn't let the enemy know my true strength just yet

"And you Kakashi?" I asked seeing that Kakashi had gotten a few scratches Here and there, fighting off the guys, while having to focus non-stop on Rin. With his current power level i should've seen it coming

"Don't worry i'm fine, it's only a few scratches" he told Me while brusning dust off of his clothes

"I could easily heal those you kn-" Rin tried to inform her teamate, but was cut off

"No you shouldn't, you need to store your chakra" Kakashi Said

"But..isn't it over now?"

'It should've been..that is If we stuck to the plan from last week'

"No, it's not over just yet..we need to go After them" i told her, trying to Sound reasureing

"But Why? They're not a problem anymore"

"Maybe, but we shouldn't take chances.. they could very Well be stationed around Here to make sure nothing happens to Kanabi bridge" Kakashi finished the explanation for me

"Oh i see, they could very Well interfere more If we don'y stop them in their tracks"

"Exacly!"

And with that we headed to where 'Kakashi's nose was leading us' at least that was our excuse. The truth was that i remembered the Way.. every single fact, every single smell, every single sensation of this mission was engraved in my mind..this was were i took my downfall...this is where it's gonna happen again..

But this time I'll return knowing It'll all be okay.. i have informed Kakashi of everything he needs to know..he'll protect Rin till i get back..

OoOoOoOo

Noticing we were at the enemies hideout i gave Kakashi a little sign that Rin didn't notice
"We're here.." Kakashi whispered and made sign to stop at the large branches on the threes sorrounding the hideout

We were sitting there, observing..

- *inhale* *exhale* *tap* * tap* *inhale* - i heard

Those actions weren't mine, Rin's or Kakashi's

It was that invisible Ninja..quietly i took out my kunai, i felt him right behind Me...
This was something Kakashi wasn't prepered for, so when he noticed he panicked

"Obito!!"

He only just Got to finish saying my name before i turned around, and stapped the Ninja who had sliced Kakashi's eye in half in the past.. the kunai wound was deep, deep enough to make him Fall unconsious, not die..

i'd rather not kill again, No matter what these guys did..it can't compare to the horible deeds i did

"Obito you- your sharingan!" Rin shouted, but quickly covered her mouth noticing her mistake.

I smiled at her. for the first time Rin Saw my complete sharingan..it made me happy to see that proud look in her eyes.. unfortunatly i had to cut the nice moment off
