Chapter 1: Going home

Obito stared at the dark sky as he had escaped Madara's hiding felt excited to go back home . He looked back at the forest remembering his conversation he had earlier with Madara.

(Flashback)

"My plan will succeed either way so leave if it's what you want , but you will come back and repay me wishing you never left this hideout ." Madara said with a smirk.

"You don't scare me old man, I stayed here long enough I said my thanks but I WILL NEVER RETURN.'' Obito spat back .

"Hmmm...we'll see about that boy, but I'm surprised that you managed to break the boulder after 3 years and still walk away'' Madara teased.

Obito decided to ignore him and ran through the forest .He had to return home. He was so close to reaching the village . Running at full speed so that in case Madara did send Zetsu or anyone after him he could lose them through the forest without having to fight them.

(flashback ends)

"Finally." Obito said breathless as the village gates were right before jumped down from the tree he had been standing on and walked towards the gates ahead.

"Hey! Who are you?! Why are you here''? Shouted a ninja as he saw Obito in front of the village gates .

" I'm Obito Uchiha''? Obito screamed happily stepping forward.

"Call lord 3rd hokage and the 4th.''Another ninja appeared from behind.

''HUH? ''Obito scratched the back of his head "lord 4th who's that?"Obito asked confused.

''Is this guy serious?'' Asked the first ninja to the other ninja.

''He must have been gone over a long time to not know who the fourth hokage is but he claims to be a uchiha yet I don't recall seeing him around here and he's claiming to be the one that died on a mission a few years back .'' Both were trying to whisper but failed miserably and kept glancing at Obito .

" Ughhh look at his face, it has scar on one side but not on the other side.'' Laughed the first ninja starring at Obito closer. Obito clenched his fist and was preparing to punch them when someone approached them.

"What's the problem here , Minato is with Kushina right now so he couldn't come."

Said the third hokage speaking at the ninja's with tiredness in his voice.

"Lord third." Both ninjas said at the same time bowing down before him.

"This man claims to be Obito Uchiha the one said to have died on a mission with team Minato 3 years ago".Explained the first ninja pointing at Obito like a child.

"Obito uchiha?!'' The third hokage nearly screamed stepping to look at Obito's face from up close.

'' My gosh you're really alive.'' He said studying Obito. ''But how? They said you died on a mission after you gave kakashi your sharingan''. He asked blankly.

"A old man rescued me and healed me back to health.'' Obito said with a smile.

He didn't want tell them that the old man was Madara because Madara had saved his life it was the least he could do for him. Besides it wouldn't do anyone any good if he told them the identity of the old man.

''You need to follow me and tell me everything that happened''. The third hokage was gesturing for Obito to follow him.

After questioning him who the old man was , Obito still didn't budge and decided to lie to them saying he didn't know what the old man's name and that the old man was from the sand village. He told them the old man was weak but kind. Obito didn't tell them about Zetsu at all , thinking it was for the best that he tried not to bring any more attention to situation than it already had. Besides Madara wasn't a threat he wouldn't harm a fellow Uchiha . Right?

''Fine you can go, but tomorrow you must report to lord third and 4th to see how they want to handle this situation ,as for now you can go to the place we discussed earlier and stay there and rest.'' Said one of the members from the Anbu Black Ops wearing a red tiger masked that had a slight crack across the center.

It was very quiet when Obito walked home .The Anbu had given him a new apartment since his old one was taken .His new room was a bit smaller than his old one but Obito was just happy to be back in his home village. In the morning he would see Kakashi ,his Sensei and of course Rin. Obito's thoughts were interrupted as he heard someone knocking on his door.

''Huh?'' At this time who could it be Obito asked himself.

Before he had a chance to check who it was the door opened and in walked Fugaku followed by the third hokage.

'' Fugaku , don't just open the door this isn't your house.'' Said the third hokage.

''Sorry to bother you Obito but we just came to give you your old stuff back and to tell you that you will be returning to team Minato.'' The third hokage said smiling as he handed him the boxes and turned to leave.

''Tomorrow report to me at 7 am'' .Fugaku said with no expression shown on his face as he and the third hokage were walking out the door. Before he closed the door, Fugaku turned to Obito, ''It's good to have you back.'' He said with a faint smile as he closed the door. The moment they were no longer in sight Obito went to bed and slept like a horse.
