The Obito Chronicles
Chapter 1
Kakashi handed Obito his assignment telling him, "There is said to be a scroll hidden deep in the forest. I need you, Sakura, and Naruto to go retrieve it." The look Obito gave him wasn't thrilled. "I come back from the dead, get transported 20 years into the future, now I'm assigned to be Konoha's youngest mailman? What kind of mission is this anyway?"
"It's a C-rank mission that you are going to do..." Kakashi broke off, his uncovered eye narrowed threateningly, "or else." Knowing just how mad his friend could get, Obito sighed and left, closing the door behind him. Kakashi rested his head on one hand, saying, "Why do I have this feeling that this will all be a disaster?"
Obito found Sakura at her house. After filling her in on the details they left to the ramen store. There they found Naruto who was, not surprisingly, devouring yet another bowl of ramen. "C'mon," Obito said as he and Sakura started dragging him out of the shop.
A few hours later…..
The team stood at the entrance to a dark cave in the middle of the forest. Obito's eyes narrowed as he thought, This place looks very familiar.
"Obito?"
Sakura's voice snapped him out of his thoughts.
"Huh? Oh! What is it?"
"You okay?"
"Yeah, I was just thinking…"
An eerie silence fell upon the group as they entered the cave. But no sooner had they crossed the threshold when the entrance sealed shut, encasing them in total darkness. There were shouts of surprise from Naruto and Sakura, but Obito never heard this, as thoughts started to run through his head at a rapid pace.
Falling boulders…..a tomb of earth….. an everlasting cocoon of stone…..
"Obito, Obito!"
"What's wrong?!"
As he heard their voices, Obito became aware that he was shaking. Sakura wrapped her arms around him, and gradually, his shaking subsided. "Obito, something tells me you know more about this place than you're letting on." Naruto said.
The Uchiha nodded and launched into the story of his teams mission to destroy Kannabi Bridge, how he and Kakashi rescued Rin from 2 Stone nins, and how he died and was teleported into the future.
Just as he had finished his tale, Obito noticed a flash of movement to his right, and saw a masked figure running away from them. He jumped to his feet and ran after the figure, his teammates at his heels. Soon they reached a junction in the path, the figure running through the left entryway.
"There he is!" Naruto shouted, and leaped into the tunnel. Before his teammates could follow, a huge slab sealed the entrance.
