(discontinued)
In the Shinobi World, a scarce amount of humans believe in the existence of yōkai. Hatake Kakashi is not one of them. However, he isn't exactly the type to bluntly state that they don't exist. After all, a world wherein peace is not a word that can easily be understood is a world with a whole lot more mysteries and therefore, also cannot be understood.
During a mission in the Land of Iron, Kakashi, Obito, Rin and Minato find themselves crossing paths with a girl no more than two years younger than the three children. Unexpectedly, the bizarre and cruel weather hasn't killed her yet.
It is no surprise that this young girl named Setsuko arrives in The Village Hidden in the Leaves with Team Minato and surprises even the Third Hokage with her long black hair, dark blue eyes, a ghostly white-- almost transparent complexion and a kimono of the same color as snow. Of course, no one really believes that Setsuko could actually be what she could be suspected of being: A Yuki-musume.
But in a world where mysteries are meant to be kept, how can anyone say that the ethereal races of the yōkai are non-existent?
As Rin, Obito and Kakashi teach her about everything there is to know about living in the village, the silver-haired young boy finds himself intrigued by basically everything relating to Setsuko. Although, with all of the fear Setsuko has always bottled up inside of her, it would sound much easier to befriend her than to actually be able to do it.

Summary:
Obito was dead, had been dead for nearly a year now.
Life moved on. Time passed, missions continued, the village prospered. But for team 7, team Minato, everything died. Rin had taken extended time off missions and didn't appear to be returning anytime soon. Minato was hokage, a feat he should have danced with joy to achieve but had been accepted as another mission to carry out. Kushina had put it upon her own shoulders to hold everyone together, to force Minato out of bed and to the office everyday, to stop by Rin's place when she could for tea and a chat. Kakashi...
Kakashi was in pain. Everyone knew it, recited it as if believing it enough would make the bite of his cruel words lesser, the venom in his every spiteful action sting a little more bearable.
No one understood it. No one knew how to comprehend it.
Obito: feral and warped with scars, hair wild and eyes frantic. He was erratic; animalistic.
Where he's been, how he survived and what had happened to him became a mystery of the upmost importance as whatever took him endangers the village as it attempts to reclaim him. However Obito's broken and disoriented state of mind poses a difficult challenge.
