"Speech."

'Thoughts.'

It was a heated battle. Kaguya Otsutsuki fought Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha to the death, and she almost defeated them both. Madara Uchiha was overpowered by Black Zetsu earlier and Kakashi was nearing his limit. Obito just barely could find strength after being freed from Black Zetsu. Just as Kaguya was about to fire her All-Killing Ash Bones at Naruto and Sasuke. Kakashi and Obito stood as shields. Obito seeing this opportunity transports the attack aimed at Kakashi into time-space, while at the same time trying to use his other kamui to teleport the one aimed at him.

"No..." Black Zetsu suddenly comes up from below Obito having stretched himself from Kaguya and tries to stop Obito's attack. Naruto suddenly jumps up to try and stop Black Zetsu with his six paths rod, but he was too late as Black Zetsu tried to take over Obito's body. Obito's Kamui is disabled at the last minute by Black Zetsu, just as the All-Killing Ash Bone hits Obito in the stomach, through Naruto's Six Paths rod and Black Zetsu's black skin. Obito groans wincing at the bone stuck in his stomach that was making his body decompose. 'Ugh... I need to stay a little longer... I need to make sure Kakashi, Naruto and Sasuke live.' Obito rotates his left eye preparing to use Izanagi to survive the attack by rewriting reality as that technique did. Even if he was one eye down, he could still do something as long as he was alive. However, things didn't go exactly as planned.

Obito finds himself in a dark space. It seemed void of space and time. He recognized it was the small gap between reality and illusion that the user entered when casting the Izanagi. Obito quickly adjusts to it and prepares to erase his damaged body in reality, but then he's engulfed by a swarm of images. 'Huh? What's going on?' They all seemed to pass by Obito like a highway of pictures. He notices that they were all of his own life, from the time when he was crushed by a boulder to when he met Madara. Rin died by Kakashi's hand and Obito began his path to darkness. Obito cringes that he actually had to go through a guilt trip, hadn't everyone already told him that he screwed up big-time? He just needed to rewrite reality with the Izanagi so he could finally do the right thing, then maybe when it was all over, he could make up for the bad things he did in his life, or maybe spend some time with Rin if he does manage to die, one or the other, Obito wanted to do something right in his life.

Suddenly the images stopped around Obito, they spiralled around him like a some sort of digital hologram. Then they completely stopped. Each scene showed an image of one of Obito's moments in life. Obito was confused, normally this plain only showed the moment the user casted the Izanagi, not all the moments in the user's life. Obito looks around and sees that moment where he was crushed by a boulder, but yet he didn't see the moment he was in right now, when he was struck by Kaguya's attack. Obito reaches out his finger and taps the picture he saw of himself getting crushed by a boulder and his eyes bulge as the image turns bigger. Suddenly the image engulfed the entire realm that he was in, then there was a very big light that blinded Obito, even the Sharingan he had was blinded.

"Huh? What's going on?" Obito wondered as he looked around. At first he thought he was dreaming, or maybe seeing illusions, but this place seemed oddly familiar. The crumbled rocks of a cave, Obito could barely see what was around him. Obito did as he normally would and phases through the rocks with his Kamui, at the least that seemed to work. Though as Obito knew his left eye became blind from using the Izanagi. As Obito got to the top of the rocks he looked around in confusion. "Where am I?" It looked like a forest and all around him were crumbled rocks. He then looks below where a dead man was lying. "Wait! He's!" Obito recognized that man. The memory came back to him like a raging river through his mind. That was the same man that kidnapped and interrogated Rin during the Kannabi Bridge Mission so long ago. "Wait a minute." Obito took a look at his own hands, they were smaller, and he his arm wasn't white like his adult body was, it was his natural skin color. Obito then realized, he was 13 again, he was in his 13 year old body, which was completely unharmed, with the exception being his left eye was blind, or rather Obito noticed it was gone. He did recall that he gave it to Kakashi just prior to being engulfed by rocks, so Obito assumed that was where it was.

Another thing though was that Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan was active, as was his ability to use Kamui. That remained with him. Now Obito was confused, how did he end up back there? That last thing he remembered was casting the Izanagi on himself to try and repair his damaged body from Kaguya's attack, but now he was in his 13 year old body and he was in the same forest from before. 'Huh... Does this mean? I'm in the past?' Obito wondered as he looked around. "Hmm." Obito slaps himself in the face to try and snap him out of his trance if he was in one. Or maybe Kaguya put him under Genjutsu and he just wasn't aware of it? Obito groans as his slap didn't change anything, he sighs and looks around. 'Well, if I am in the past. Then...' Obito suddenly realized something. If this was the past, and if this was just after the Kannabi Bridge Mission, then that meant. 'Rin!' Obito instantly starts running in a random direction wanting to see Rin more than anything. Rin was dead for so long that Obito barely remembered what it was like to be with her. He just wanted to gaze into her brown eyes and see those cute yet unexplained purple markings on her face. He was so anxious that he kinda forgot he was going the wrong way, he turned around to go the right way when he forgot another thing. "Oh yeah..." Obito just disappears into the ripple caused by his right eye. He forgot he could use Kamui as well, being in his 13 year old body probably was causing his adult brain to act a bit more childish than normally.

Hidden Leaf Village

Obito appeared in the Hidden Leaf Village in an alley so that no one would see him just appear out of thin air and be shocked. Obito ran out of the alley to go find Rin and Kakashi. He searched high and low and kept running until he found them. Rin was walking down the street with her head bend down low and slight tears coming out of her eyes. She was so upset that Obito died. Kakashi was mourning elsewhere, but Rin was probably the one who was more upset. Obito was already there for her, although he might have been a bit clumsy and not as strong as Kakashi. He had the guts and the spirit that Kakashi didn't. Kakashi informed Rin directly after that Obito was the one that wanted to go save her even at the cost of ditching the mission, that made Rin feel even worse that she didn't pay more attention to Obito, when he gave her most his attention whenever they were together.

"Rin!" Obito called out loudly once he saw her slowly walking in the distance.

Rin first thought she was having hearing problems, maybe her grieving Obito was now making her hear his voice. How she missed his loud and sometimes obnoxious voice.

"Rin!" Obito called out again seeing that Rin might not have heard her.

Rin still thought she was hearing things. Those words echoed in her mind. She probably couldn't even count the number of times Obito called out her name. 'If I could only seem him again... I would.'

Rin's thought is cut short when Obito grabs hold of her by the shoulder and spins her around instantly. "I love you Rin!" Obito says out loud before quickly planting a kiss on her lips. Rin's mind was racing and her heart beat rapidly, her eyes widened and her body was frozen. Was she actually going insane now? Was her friend that she literally saw die an hour or so ago, give or take, right in front of her and kissing her on the lips? Did she fall asleep somewhere and was dreaming? Rin didn't exactly know what to think of this, but she knew one thing, she didn't want to ever leave this moment.

Rin didn't exactly imagine her first kiss to be like this. She previously imagined herself and whoever she was with, Kakashi or Obito came to mind at first, on a romantic date over a pretty moon and a calm lake, or maybe at a fancy restaurant eating the most delicious food, or perhaps on the Hokage Monument watching Fireworks. This wasn't exactly what she planned, but then again neither was a lot of stuff that happened in her life. Rin's eyes only remained for a few seconds before she realized what she was feeling, but she slowly closed them and leaned inward to enjoy the moment.

When Obito parted with her, she was in complete shock, almost as if didn't even know how to talk anymore, she gazed at Obito with an expression that showed enormous surprise. "O-Obito?" That was all she managed to say.

"It's me Rin, it's me." Obito said with a kind face and his happy smile that Rin loved so much.

Rin instantly throws her arms around Obito starting to tear up. "Obito!"

"Rin, it's okay. I'm fine." Obito says softly as he gently put his arms around her as well.

"I thought... I thought I lost you." Rin says in the midst of her crying.

"I thought, I lost you too." Rin didn't know that there was so much more to that sentence than she knew.

The two held each other for a good two minutes or so before parting. "Let's go find Kakashi, okay Rin?" Obito said softly. He strokes her hair gently, slowly pushing it aside so that he could gazing into her eyes.

"O-okay." Rin says softly as well. She still could barely believe this. Had god actually given her a miracle? Obito takes Rin's warm hand and walks down the streets of Konoha to find Kakashi.

As they were walking, Obito remembered some words from before. 'The Izanagi can turn fantasy into reality. It can rewrite destiny.' Obito thought as he walked. He glances over at Rin who walked at his side, hand-in-hand. He smiles happily. 'Well... This time, I won't mess up my destiny.'
