Muddled Timeline

Chapter 1: The Kannabe Bridge Mission

Thirteen Year old Kakashi Hatake had just lost his left eye fighting an Iwa ninja with his teammate, Obito Uchiha. The young Uchiha had bandaged his teammate's eye and they were getting ready to storm the base of the Iwa ninjas that had kidnapped their third teammate, Rin Nohara. Just before they made a move, they both felt the distortion of wild chakra in the air, but shrugged it off as shaken nerves. Together they infiltrated that command post of their enemy and worked in sync to save Rin. They succeeded in getting past the Afro headed Rock ninja and began celebrating. As they were untying Rin, the Iwa ninja used a Jutsu to collapse the cavern they were in and rocks were dropping from the ceiling. Kakashi was hit in the head by one, and fell to the ground. Obito saw this and threw Kakashi out of the way before he was hit by anymore of the falling stones. Unfortunately for the happy go lucky Uchiha, a very large stone was bearing down upon him and there was nothing he could do to avoid it. He watched slowly with his newly acquired Sharingan as the rock got closer and closer until it crushed his body.

"Are you alright...Rin...Kakashi...?"

Kakashi's lone eye widened as he gazed upon his friend crushed under the rubble of the deconstructed cavern.

"Obito!"

"Don't...it's okay Kakashi...I don't think I can make it. My right side is totally crushed...I can't feel anything..." Obito said slowly. He then violently coughed up blood.

"Obito...!" Rin cried out as tears fell from her brown eyes. Kakashi dropped to his knees crying.

"Dammit...Dammit! If...If only I had listened to you before and we had come to rescue Rin in the first place! None of this would've happened! So what I'm a Captain? So what if I made Jonin?!" Kakashi shouted as he pounded the floor, blaming himself.

"Oh yeah...I had forgotten..." Obito said as Rin looked at him in desperation hoping that this was part of the Genjutsu.

"I'm the only one...who didn't get you a gift...for when you made Jonin...Kakashi." Obito continued as the other two silently cried.

"I'm giving you...my Sharingan Kakashi...Whatever the village may say...you are...a great Jonin, so please accept it."

"Kakashi come here. I'll start it right away." Rin said with authority. Kakashi looked down in guilty shame.

"I'm about...to die...but I'll become your eye...and see the future for you." Obito finished. Kakashi looked at Obito with new strength in his eye and accepted.

The Rock ninja whipped around as the dome exploded. Kakashi was standing on top of the rubble and has tears streaming down his face.

"Well you're just a kid...What's a ninja crying for? Come on crybaby, let's settle this!" The unnamed Rock ninja shouted. Kakashi opened his left eye to reveal his new Sharingan.

"Hmm...this kid is different than before..."

"Kakashi...take care of...Rin"

"Yeah..."

Kakashi drew the White Fang Blade and quickly leapt into action against the Iwa ninja, slicing at him as the ninja blocked and destroyed Kakashi's weapon. As Kakashi landed, he performed the seals for the Chidori and thrust his lightning filled palm at the enemy ninja.

"Chidori!"

Kakashi tossed the ninja's body on top of the cavern. Rin began to hyperventilate at the appearance of the man's body and not Kakashi.

"Don't panic...Rin." Obito said as she squeezed his hand tighter. Kakashi appeared behind the corpse and she calmed down. Kakashi sensed fifteen Hidden Rock Ninja Shunshined into the area and his eyes widened.

"Come on Rin! Take my hand!" Rin kept her eyes glued on Obito's crushed body.

"Earth Style: Earthquake Slam!" All fifteen Rock ninja shouted as they slammed their palms on the ground and caused the earth to split apart.

"Obito!" Rin shouted. Rin grabbed Kakashi's hand as the two members of Team 7 jumped out of the hole.

"Just when Kakashi and I were starting to get along...I couldn't tell Rin I loved her..." Obito thought to himself as the rocks began to bury him.

"Obito!" Kakashi called out as he saw the rocks fall on his friend.

They landed on a tree and saw that they were surrounded. Rin gasped when she saw their predicament. Kakashi looked around as well and executed the handseals for the Chidori once again. The chirping of a thousand birds filled the area and blue lightning chakra danced around Kakashi's hand as he unsheathed a Tri-Pronged Kunai.

"Thank you Obito. You helped me perfect this technique!"

"Rin get out of here! I'll deal with this. I'll protect you with my life!"

"Kakashi...! You'll die!"

"Rin! I promised Obito I'd protect you. Obito...he cared about you. He loved you..."

"Then Kakashi! You should know my feelings for you!"

"I-I tried to abandon you...I'm nothing but scum..." Kakashi declared as Rin looked on sadly, the blue light of the Chidori dancing in her face.

"Rin, go!" Kakashi shouted.
