So Baz really wanted to write an Obito story but said the somebody named 8-bit Thief would hunt him down and kill him if he started another story instead of working on the ones he's already got going. Because of this he asked me to fill in for him. So I will now be writing this along side my Sephiroth story, I hope you guys like it. Also it didn't take much convincing sense I love Obito, lets get to this.

"You really are the biggest of fools Obito Uchiha." Obito laid peacefully in a void of white smiling as he drifted with his eyes closed, he didn't pay any attention to the voice speaking to him. It was old and wizened, rough as gravel. "You deserve nothing more than death for the crimes you've committed, have you nothing to say in your defense." Despite the words he spoke Obito couldn't sense any malice coming from him.
Obito didn't open his eyes as he continued to smile. "None, I take responsibility for my actions. Do what you will." Obito finally opened his eyes and looked to the source of the voice, it was an old man in white robes and a pair of horns on his head. Floating around him were several truth seeker orbs, this was the Sage of Six Paths. Obito wasn't sure how he knew this but something in him told him who the man was. "However, I do have one request."
The old man didn't speak and instead just nodded his head.
"Tell me how that boy did, and Kakashi." He asked the Sage who sat cross legged in mid air.
The Sage actually smiled at the question. "They won, and your friends is the current Hokage, I expect Naruto will be his successor."
Obito couldn't hold in the laugh as he heard Kakashi was the new Hokage, his friend achieved his dream. "That's good to hear, I can rest easy with that. You can send me to hell now."
"No." Obito didn't register what the Sage said for several seconds.
"What?"
"You aren't going to the after life just yet, instead I have a task for you. Another world needs hope, I want you to be that hope Obito." Obito couldn't believe what he was hearing, he had fully resigned himself to death but here he was being told he wasn't going to be dying just yet. "You are to redeem yourself, only then will you be allowed to rest."
Obito got over his shock and soon nodded his head. "I understand, thank you." The Sage raised his hand towards Obito and Obito felt himself fading from consciousness fade.
"I wish you luck child."
2000 years before canon
Obito felt light breeze across his face, he could hear the shaking of leaves in the wind. As he cracked his eyes open he looked up towards the blue sky. "A dream?" He asked himself as he took a deep breath and could instantly feel a slight change in the air, he could almost feel the intense feeling of malice enter his body. Obito looked down at himself and found he was wearing his full undamaged outfit from the war. "This evil, it feels so familiar."
Obito picked himself up and found his body felt great, as if he was never hurt at all during the war. He turned his head towards the direction he could feel the evil presence coming from. "The Juubi? No, it's different but feels similar." Without saying anything else Obito took off in the direction of the evil he felt, as he ran he pulsed his chakra throughout his body feeling for any changes, when he checked his eyes he was surprised to find his right was his sharingan and in his left was a rinnegan. What was surprising about this wasn't that he had the Rinnegan but instead it's feel, the eye he had during the war was the one Madara achieved and gave to Nagato which he in turn took for himself. While he had full use of the eye and it's abilities he could always tell that it wasn't naturally his eye, it always felt foreign to him. This eye didn't feel like that, it felt completely natural to his body.
On a hunch Obito looked down at his right arm and saw his skin wasn't white, this lead to him raising his hand to his face where he frowned and stopped leaping through the trees. "To much to hope for huh?" He asked himself as he felt his face which was still scarred heavily. Obito stood on the branch beneath him and flipped through several handsigns. "Cutting Springs!" He shouted thrusting his palm forwards causing a wooden spike to shoot out of his palm and slam into a nearby tree. "So I've still got that. Very well." Again he took off through the trees.
Several days later
Obtio stood in front of a massive field filled with the stench of death, the grass and plants had all withered, the air itself felt as though it was decaying. Obito had been heading towards the source of the evil for nearly a week and for a while felt as though he wasn't making in progress in getting closer, then he started seeing signs and the feeling got stronger. Now he could tell he was getting close, very close. In the distance Obito could see smoke rising and decided it would be worth checking out, he hoped it would be people, he hadn't seen another person since arriving almost a week ago.
It only took a few minutes to walk to the source of the smoke, being cautious Obito hid within the shadows of the trees. As he arrived he found a small settlement that looked like it had been at the center of a major battle, using his sharingan he scanned the area seeing almost two dozen people gathered near the center of the settlement, where the smoke was rising from.
Obito quickly and soundlessly made his way into the settlement and towards the group of people completely unnoticed to anyone. Once he was close enough he saw the people, surprisingly some had animal features though after the shit he'd seen that barely qualified as odd, were laying bodies into the fire that he now saw was a mass pyre. He watch an old man who he assumed was the group elder step in front of the people and raise his arms.
"My people, today is a sad day. Today we lay several of our people to rest, these men were brave in trying to defend their loved ones from the dark god, but alas bravery is not enough. Let us remember them for their fearlessness and valor in fighting the dark gods beasts, a moment of silence please." Obito listened to the mans words and was easily able to link up events and clues to figure out that this 'Dark God' was the source of the evil he'd been feeling.
Looking over each of the people present Obito could tell none were a threat, oddly they didn't seem to have chakra but instead something else that felt somewhat odd to him. He'd look into this later for now he decided he needed information and stepped out of the shadows and began walking towards the group. As he got close a few noticed his presence, specifically the ones with animal features, and took on a surprised and fearful looked before backing out of his way. Obito didn't react to the stares he was earning or the whispers about him as he proceeded through the crowd towards the elder.
"You are not from here child, who are you?" The elder asked Obito as he stopped several feet away from the man.
Obito had to think about the situation for a moment and how to handle it, for the longest time he didn't have a lot of interaction with normal people, just members of the Akatsuki or other shinobi, and when he did he didn't mince his words. If he was going to better himself as the Sage had instructed he would need to try and remain civil. "My name is Obito Uchiha, and you are correct, I'm not from here. I've traveled from a very great distance to get here." Technically it wasn't a lie as he had traveled at least a hundred miles on his way there. "I am sorry for interrupting this ceremony, but I need some information if I'm to complete my goal."
The elder nodded his head as he listened. "And what may I ask is this goal child?"
"I'm going to slay the Dark God." He spoke flatly shocking everyone present, several of the people around him scurried away and into small huts that made up most of the settlement.
The elder did his best to remain calm though Obito cold see the sweat forming on his forehead. "My boy, what you speak of is impossible. I implore you to turn back and return to your home." The old man took on a grim face.
"That is impossible, where I'm from is now beyond reach. All I require from you is information on the creature, after that I will be on my way." Obito crossed his arms. "I way not look it, but I'm far stronger than I appear."
"He's telling the truth." A male voice spoke from the crowd that remained, a man with wolf like ears stepped forward. "I can't really explain it elder, but this man is giving off some kind of energy that sets my hair on end, it almost feels similar to the Dark God itself." Several other members of the crowd with animal features nodded in agreement.
"If you tell me where this creature is and what it is I swear to you I can kill it, this isn't my first time fighting a god." This brought on further whispers as people murmured about the very idea of someone fighting the monster they feared and living.
The elder was quiet for a moment. "Very well, but please allow us to finish send the souls of our lost to their rest. Tonight I will tell to all I know over a feast to celebrate the life of the fallen."
Obito bowed his head towards the man. "Thank you, and again I apologize for interrupting." Obito said before stepping to the side away from the crowd and watched as the elder continued with the ceremony.
That night
Obito sat cross legged in front of the large cloth laid out over the ground, he sat at the bottom end of the cloth while the elder sat at the head of the cloth. Along either side of the cloth sat many of the settlements men, outside of the large tent they were in Obito could hear children playing and shouting. After some time the women brought in many wooden plates with food on them and set them down on the cloth before exiting.
Over the past few hours Obito had been observing the people around him and had come to the understanding that they were a rather primitive group. He'd only seen glimpses of the weapons and tools and what he had seen were merely sticks and shaped rocks tied to them, he'd yet to see any metal. As much as he felt he should help these people advance he knew there wasn't much he could do.
Obito wasn't a blacksmith, nor was he a carpenter. Obito was a warrior, the battlefield was all he really knew aside from other ways of the shinobi. One of the women set down a large platter of meat in front of him, the elder gestured for him to eat and he did, denying these people would be rude.
"So, Obito you said your name was? Please tell us of your journeys, we all wish to know of this god you claim to have battled." One of the men, a large man nearly twice Obito's size, asked as he bit into a leg of meat.
"Oga, do not question our guest while he eats." The elder chastised the man however Obito raised his hand.
"It's quite alright, I do not mind telling you all the story." Obito knew he would need to lie about certain things, such as this all taking place in another world, but he figured he wouldn't have to much trouble coming up with a story they would at least half believe. Obito took a sip of the water they provided him before he began. "Many centuries ago far away from here, beyond the oceans, a beast once roamed free destroying everything in it's wake. We called it the Juubi, it had the power to wipe out mountains in an instant and could destroy thousands of lives effortlessly. Many people died to the creatures wrath, then a pair of brothers came along wielding great power, power beyond the imagination of most men."
The tent was silent as Obito told his tale. "Together the two brothers were able to defeat the beast and split it into two parts, one half was it's body, the other was it's power. The two sealed the halves away within themselves. The brother who sealed the power in himself went on to become a great teacher to the people, eventually some came to see him as a god and refer to him as the Sage of the Six Paths. The other brother left everything behind and chose to live in isolation." Obito took another sip of his water. "The Sage of the Six Paths had two sons, Asura and Indra. Both extremely powerful in their own right, however Indra was corrupted by hatred and resentment when his father chose Asura to be his successor even though Indra was the eldest son and there fore the rightful heir."
"This resentment lead to a terrible feud between the two brothers that continued for centuries after their deaths by their descendants, two clans known as the Senju, the descendants of Asura. And the descendants of Indra, the Uchiha. This centuries old war seemed to have no end until a man named Madara Uchiha managed to take the sealed powers of both the body and power of the Juubi, he did this with my help." Obito closed his eyes as he felt shame for his actions, he could hear the whispers around him bet continued. "Madara used the power he obtained from the Juubi to defeat any who stood in his path, as well as to betray those who helped him." Deciding it would be simpler to just leave out Kaguya and Zetsu for the sake of time Obito blamed everything on Madara.
"Along side my old friend and his three students, I fought Madara. In the end I was defeated, however my friends students managed to defeat Madara. As punishment for my crimes against my people I was tasked with destroying the great evil that we could feel coming from this place, the evil you all call the dark god. That is my goal here, to save your people from this monster so that I may see the one I love most again." Obito finished leaving the tent in silence.
The man who spoke before was the first to break the silence. "If you were defeated by this Madara, how can you be of any help to us? It sounds to me like you were to weak to beat your Juubi, so how will you face the dark god?"
Obito raised his hand as he saw the elder about to speak again. "Even without the power of the Juubi Madara was a man to be feared. He alone was strong enough to defeat entire armies with his power, add this with the fact that he to me by surprise and that he had the Juubi's power, and I doubt anyone wouldn't be defeated." Obito closed his eyes for a moment and concentrated his chakra until the air was thick with it, when he opened his eyes again they had the Sharingan and Rinnegan active. "I assure you, I am more than strong enough to kill this beast."
The elder looked at Obito in a mixture of fear and surprise as his eyes soon reverted back to their original black color. "Very well, let me tell you of your enemy."
I think thats a good place to stop for this chapter. Hopefully Baz is happy with this or he won't stop shooting me with rubber bands. Also don't forget to send him your questions that you want Fidelis to answer, he says he's gonna start writing that chapter soon. Tell me what you all think in the reviews and look out for the next chapter of both my stories. Thanks for reading.
