8I really shouldn't be updating this yet since I don't have ten chapters, but Jess and I are just so excited for our new stories, and it's my birthday so we figured why not? This is an adaptation of a story I wrote way back in the day. I may actually do that with others of my really old stories. I don't have them anymore, but I till remember them. Originally it started with an idea of Kakashi having kids and naming them after his teammates and his father, and I wrote it before Obito was revealed to be alive so my mind was like "what would happen if those two met" and this is the result. Really ecited for this story. It's going to be interesting. It's tricky at times, but it's fun to do.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. You all know that after all. Trust me it wouldn't be as well drawn if I did.
Chapter 1
Obito
I let Itachi handle his direct family. Really this isn't that important. Then again it feels almost… no, nothing feels good these days. Then again after all the stupid stuff they put me through it serves them right.
There is one more person who's left. ONe person who Itachi hasn't gone out of his way to protect. One person I' not even sure he knows about. I don't know if the elders know either, but if they do I'm not taking chances with this one.
I move silently through the village that was once my home. I watch as they sleep unaware of the massacre that has just occurred. Yes, sleep, at one point everyone will dream the perfect dream. That's why this is…
Nostalgia hits me hard remembering some of our favourite places. My team and I. Then again even if I turn back now it's too late. Those moments can't come again in this world. That's why I will make sure they can come again.
I look up at the Hokage monument for a bit. Sensei, in this new world I will be Hokage. You will be alive again. That's why this world doesn't matter to me. I don't need a world where everything is so wrong!
I shake my head, I need to focus on the task at hand. Especially before the alarm goes off and everyone is alert. Not that they could catch me, but I don't need to make a scene. I need to let everyone think Itachi was the cause of the massacre and that he and Sasuke are the only Uchiha alive. If they believe that then they won't see it coming. It's a great plan and no one really happened that night. It's almost too perfect.
I slip through the streets until I reach my location. The lights are all off. I slip through the front door closing my eye for a second before looking around.
Kakashi is supposed to be on a mission so this should be easy. I move silently moving through anything in my way. I move into the master bedroom.
I walk over to the bed looking at the woman in the bed.
Kagerou… if things were different for me… well, it's okay, you'll be okay. I promise that this world… yes, you won't have to miss me anymore, I promise.
I reach out towards her then hesitate. Why am I stopping now?
The first kill comes to my mind. Itachi's first act during the massacre. A swift yet small form of what I plan. Rather ironic since I know he doesn't feel as I do yet it's how he wanted her to go. He'll see the truth.
Then again I'm not as good as he is at this. Though they may assume it was something natural if I did it this way.
I use a genjutsu putting her under. It's not as perfect, but it can't be helped. Time to-
"Momma, I-hey! Who are you?"
I turn to the door looking at a young kid standing in the doorway.
I don't reply staring at the boy who oddly looks like me when I was that age.
"Hey! ARe you going to answer me?! What do you want with Momma?!' He looks at the bed running over to it and getting on it. "Momma? Momma?"
"She's not going to wake up."
"What?!"
"You heard me. Now you better forget you even saw me if you know what's good for you."
"You… you… you killed Momma! I beat you up!" I jump off the bed passing right through me. As I turn to look down at him I notice his eyes have changed. Sharingan, huh?
"That was stupid."
"I don't care! You killed Momma! I beat you up!"
Stupid little brat!
He jumps at me again, and this time I grab him throwing him back towards the door. He wouldn't be too hard to kill, but I…
"Obito, what's going on?"
What?!
"Sakumo, Rin, he bad man! He kill Momma! I tried beat him up!"
I look at the three new kids.
"Who are you?" The silver-haired boy demands standing in front of his two siblings watching me. He seems more confident than his brother, but I'm not worried about some brats.
"Hey, Obito, your eyes…" the girl says.
"Oh yeah, that happened because he bad."
I look at the last child. He must be… yes, this chakra. Figures he'd be around with these kids. Things just keep getting… annoying. This was supposed to be simple.
"I have no reason to tell you anything. If you value your lives I'd suggest you leave, and not talk about this."
"You can't just come in here and say stuff like that!" Naruto exclaims."I mean come on!"
"Yeah! I mean you kill Momma!"
"We've established that."
"Still true! Though you is ghost! I knew where zombies."
"Obito, Zombies, and ghosts aren't real. That was just a story."
"No, he ghost! Just went right through!"
"But he threw you."
"True, but still is zombie!"
"Okay, but even if he is a ghost how is he a zombie?"
"I dunno."
"So you just pass through him? Guess that explains how he got in here without anyone knowing. Daddy said this house can't be broken into easily," Sakumo says.
"So what do we do then?" Rin asks.
"Beat him up!"
"Obito, you know Daddy said not to just-Naruto!"
Naruto rushes at me trying to punch me but slipping right through.
"See! Told you he was a ghost!"
"I thought he was a ghost-zombie."
"He is!"
"Man! I was so close! This time for sure!"
"You're not going to get anywhere like that. You may as well stop trying to hit me."
"I'm never gonna give up! You hurt my friend's family and I won't forgive you!"
Technically I did more than that, but that's beside the point.
"Come on."
If they try attacking me from all sides they'll ly hurt themselves, but I'm not about to tell them.
"Guys, if he's a ghost zombie that's not going to work."
"Huh?"
"Well I mean it doesn't matter if he's looking at you or not. I mean he's still a ghost so that means we'd just turn into each other."
"Would you stop talking about ghost zombies? You've been listening to Orochimaru too much."
"Have not! Still, what were you gonna suggest anyway! I mean I want to beat him up, but…"
"Don't get scared now. I mean you've got cool eyes now, so you gotta be strong."
"Oh yeah! Orochimaru said that ghost zombies have nothing on the Sharingan! So that means I can beat him up! Stand back guys, I'm gonna do this!"
What the hell has this kid been learning?
"Obito, I think he was messing with you."
"Nope! I have to beat the ghost zombie that killed Momma!"
I'm wasting too much time with these brats. They won't listen to me. I need to get out of here. I look at the black haired boy. "You're-"
"Wait!"
"What's wrong now?" Sakumo ass.
"Wait! Wait! How do you have a Sharingan?! Ghost zombies can't have those. Unless… I know! When they eat people's brains they get their powers!"
What is this kid?
"Obito, that doesn't make any sense."
"But… hey, Naruto, are you okay?"
"Umm… not sure… I feel kind of… weird…"
I look over at the blond. I wonder if he can sense my chakra. It's always possible. I'm sure he knowsI'm not actually Madara, good thing he doesn't like any humans or I may have some problems.
"Weird, how?"
"Dunno… kinda feel like I have a tummy ache, but I don't think that's it. It's like a really deep tummy ache."
"A deep tummy ache? Is that what happens when you go through a ghost zombie?"
"If it was then you would have a tummy ache, Obito."
"Oh yeah!"
Things could get tricky if that fox decided to "help" right now. Though I don't think he could do too much damage to me I really don't want to stir him up right now. I suppose it's time to-
Familiar chakra pulses around me, and I grit my teeth. As three chakra signatures flare up. Lightning chirps behind me.
"Don't move."
Fuck.
Kakashi
Orochimaru, Jiraiya and I arrive at my house after Jiraiya's toad notified us of the danger. Lightning Blade in hand I glare at the masked ninja.
"Daddy! He kill Momma, I wanted t beat up!"
"Are you four okay?" I ask looking them over.
"Yeah, Obito activated his Sharingan, but Naruto feels weird," Sakumo says.
"Yeah, I have this weird tummy ache."
Could that be the Kyuubi? Why would it be stirring right now?
"Aunty Orochimaru, this guy is really weird! I thought he was a ghost zombie, but he has a Sharingan."
"I see," Orochimaru says.
"Who are you,?" I demand.
"What would be the use in answering that?"
"Don't start games with me. I have the upper hand."
"Are you sure?"
"Daddy, he just go right through like a ghost," Obito says.
As if to prove my son right the ninja walks right through me and my attack. "You can't contain me."
"What do you want with the children?" Jiraiya asks.
"Them? Nothing actually. I have little interest in them."
"Then what are you doing here?"
He looks at Kagerou for a bit. "When someone fains a lot of power they are likely to get hated. The same could be said for clans. Don't blame me."
"Then stop playing games and tell us who you really are.,"
"If you must know… I suppose you could just call me Madara Uchiha."
Orochimaru is silent watching the ninja.
"He's lying," Naruto whispers.
"That,'s rich. Madara has been dead for decades.,," Jiraiya says.
"I wonder about that."
"Either way, do you really think we're going to let you leave?"
"Do you think you can stop me? I've told you you can"t contain me."
"You say you are Madara yet you match none of the things he is described as. Madara does not choose to avoid conflict. You really more on stealth and leaving without a trace. It's a great skill yet not one that has ever been attributed with Madara," Orochimaru speaks up.
"I suppose you could say people change."
*Fair enough, yet something still doesn't add up." He flicks his tongue out. "This chakra-"
"It's irrelevant!"
"Based on your reaction it is far from irrelevant.*
"Shut your mouth!"
"What's wrong? Don't want to accept that others may find out-"
"That's enough from you!" He attacks Orochimaru grabbing him and causing him to vanish.
"Momma!" Naruto exclaims.
"What did you do to Aunty Oreo!"
"Naruto, Obito, wait!" I exclaim, but the two boys don't listen.
They charge at the ninja trying to punch him.
"You already know that won't-" he's cut off by a gasp as a blood weeps out of a wound in his side.
"Wait, what happened?"
"Maybe our combined attacks worked?"
"No guys, that attack was made by a blade, not a punch."
I narrow my eyes. How odd that he'd get injured like that. What could have caused that kind of injury?
Hang on… that could have been caused by Orochimaru, but if that's the case then whatever jutsu he used to teleport him away and the jutsu he uses to move through things are linked. So, in that case, he isn't actually moving through things, but it just seems that way. If that's the case then with Orochimaru over wherever he is this person can't risk moving through our attacks. Is it some sort of teleportation? Must be. I suppose it could be connected to its own time-space which is where Orochimaru is right now.
"Seems like we have you cornered. You really shouldn't have teleported Oro. He let you do that, and now you can't move through without getting injured," Jiraiya says. I'm not sure if he has it all figured out, but he does know some of it.
The ninja growls. He looks at the four children then at the two of us. What length will he go to in order to escape?
I look at Jiraiya, and he understands my thoughts. He grabs Sakumo and Rin, and I grab the other two.
"Hey," Obito says.
"Stay back," I tell them. I create a Lightning Blade. I'll end this if I have to.
"Kakashi the copy ninja,' he muses.
I narrow my eyes. "You know about us yet you still choose to challenge us."
"Tell me though, what are you going to do with that?"
I narrow my eyes at him. "What was that?"
"Oh nothing much," he says waving off the question. Either way you may think you have me cornered, but you know very little."
"Stop acting tough," Jiraiya scoffs. "We all know you're in no position to be making such claims. If you try to move through the attack you'll have to deal with Oro, and he may not be as nice next time."
We're aiming to harm him, not kill him, yet that injury doesn't seem to be slowing him down too much. Maybe this will slow him down some. I charge at him with my Lightning Blade.
"Do you really think you can make it this time, or are you just trying to convince yourself?"
I freeze the jutsu fading.
"Daddy?"
"How ironic, do they even know why you chose their names?"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Obito asks.
"Honestly, who are you trying to convince here? You don't have the nerve. You're still clinging to foolish notions that it'll be different the next time. Don't you get it? This world is shit. You should know. You are trash after all."
"Hey! Don't talk to Daddy like that!"
"Yeah, you can't just come here, and be a jerk like that. Who do you think you are?!"
"Daddy is amazing!"
"You four are so innocent. It's foolish. Though eventually, you will learn the truth."
"Oh shut up!"
"Naruto, language."
"Sorry Daddy, but he's being ridiculous! I mean come on! Uncle Kakashi is awesome!"
"You may think so, however, you know very little about the past. You have no idea what your names even are."
"Enough! You don't understand anything about what names even mean. Names are heirlooms of those that they are named afer."
"You say that, but even so-"
"Don't make fun of my Daddy!" Obito exclaims running at him again. He grabs him throwing him back.
I catch Obito. "Stop rushing in like that, Obito. You have to be careful."
"But Daddy! I want to help! I don't want him to be mean to you. I mean he already killed Momma, I want you to be okay. I mean…"
"Thank you, Obito, but you shouldn't be so worried."
"We're all worried, Daddy. We all love you," Rin says.
"Thank you, but you kids need to be careful. You three are very important to me, and I don't want anything to happen to you. Let us handle this."
"Kick his ass!"
"Obito."
"Sorry."
"Tough words really. As I said, can you truly back them up?"
"That's enough talk! Time to end this."
"Do you want Orochimaru to come back out of that dimension?"
"I wouldn't worry so much about Orochimaru. He's rather good at getting out of places. I'd be worried about you."
"I wouldn't worry about me either," he scoffs. Still, I suppose I'll return him to you now. I don't have time to play with you right now."
"You're not going anywhere.
"Care to stop me?" he asks swirling out of existence.
Orochimaru
I watch as he warps back into this strange space. I raise my sword prepared to attack.
"You truly are as good as they say," he says.
"You can drop the fake voice. We both know who you are."
He scoffs. "As I just said, you truly are good. I'm quite impressed. I should have expected it from someone like you."
"How are you alive? What are you doing here? You smell different."
"Is it that important to you?"
"What if it is? It's important to kakashi."
"Well, it's not important to me. None of this world matters to me anymore."
"Yet you refused to harm the children despite having the ability to."
"I had no reason to harm them."
"Deep down you're honoured Kakashi would name a child after you, and that you're happy he named one after your teammate and glad that he'd name a kid after the father that he had previously shunned."
"What will it take to shut you up?"
"Are you threatening me?"
"Not really, yet I'm not a child anymore. Listen, Kakashi isn't supposed to know who I am. You're not allowed to tell him."
"And what if I do? Will you try and kill me? Are you sure you're capable? I admit you're stronger than you once were, but you're still not at my level."
"I don't want a fight. I just don't want you telling anyone about what you know."
"You have nothing I would want."
"I have information about the sharingan, and have some spares."
My eyes widen slightly, but unfortunately for him I'm not the man I once was. "Nice try, but that's not going to work. Try another one."
He growls. Wood starts to grow out of his right arm as he glares at me.
"I see, wood-style. That explains a lot actually. How interesting that an Uchiha like you can have such a natural gift with the power of the opposite clan. You're really interesting, Obito."
"If you insist on calling me that I don't care, but Obito is dead."
"Enough games," I say. I should use a curse mark to keep him still for a bit. I need to keep him here. For Kakashi.
"You do that, and we're both not getting out of here for a while."
"It's possible that reverse summoning would actually work cross dimensions. So you're wrong, yet I don't have to do it if you don't cooperate."
"And why should I? So you can interrogate me? I don't think so. You want to figure out how I even exist right now. Aren't you curious? After all, I should be dead by all rights."
"I suppose how your body works is interesting to me, but that is not my primary concern at the current moment."
"Fine, whatever. Tell them if you want. It's not like it matters anyway, just go away," he snaps walking towards me.
I watch him waiting. As he starts to warp me away I grab him pulling him with me causing us both to hit the floor hard. I roll biting him to create my curse seal then move pulling away the mask.
Sharingan eye glares at me as the temporary seal starts to slowly fade.
Even so, the whole room is completely quiet. The only sound is the softest whisper. "Obito…"
Preview
Kakashi
I blink, wait… when…?
Blood coats my hand and I look up into the face of my former teammate. He grins a bit despite the blood trickling down the side of his face. "You…"
"Genjutsu, you were too busy to notice," he says jerking backwards coughing up more blood.
I thought I'd start writing previews because why not?
