THE GIFT OF LIFE

Home is not a Place… but People!

The journey to Konoha was anything but silent. Obito talked on and on about how Madara Uchiha found him and let him recover within the Gedo statue and about Zetsu. Kakashi remained silent throughout his ranting.

"Obito I think you should go back." Kakashi said suddenly, startling poor Obito who almost tripped. They both stopped to stand on a tree.

"What do mean Baka- kashi? Do you want to hog all the glory to yourself? I'm not going back to that madman, he's literally insane!" Obito screamed. "Do you want to know what his plan is?" he didn't wait for an answer. "He wants to control the moon and put everyone in an eternal genjutsu so that there will be peace!"

"Be as it may, what do you think he'll do now? I bet he was planning on passing on this plan to you to carry on. Now that he knows you won't be returning..." Kakashi trailed off activating his sharingan. Obito was instantly immobilized; he couldn't move the right part of his body. "Don't worry, I've only immobilized Zetsu so that he won't rely anything to Madara. I'll come back as soon as I take Rin to the hospital." Kakashi didn't wait for an answer and he was gone.


Half hour later Kakashi returned to where he had left Obito and was relieved to find him there ready to hit him for leaving him. He quickly explained what Obito's role was with a lot of protest from him. He dispelled the genjutsu on Zetsu before henging himself to a Konoha headband, which Obito held in his hand.

"What just happened?" Zetsu asked Obito as the latter was fuming.

"That baka Kakashi just killed Rin because he was sure she wouldn't survive the journey back." Obito acted flawlessly (his anger on Kakashi was real, of course.) "Let's go back, Madara was right." Zetsu did as he was told because in an instant they were inside the ten tails husk.

"Back so soon? I was under the impression that you had found your friends." Madara Uchiha drawled.

"Yes but Kakashi refused to believe that I was alive and accused me of being an enemy ninja and killed Rin because he thought I was after her. He attacked me and your Zetsu so we were unconscious for a while." Obito told adding things to what Kakashi had already told him to with tears and all.

Madara looked skeptical like he didn't believe him. "Indeed?" he asked. Obito dramatically 'dropped' the headband and cried big baby tears.

Kakashi unhenged himself and cut off Madara's connection to the Gedo statue before anyone could comprehend what had happened. The old Uchiha collapsed immediately with a wheeze.

"Kakashi, you- what the hell?" Obito cried not expecting his teammate to kill the old Uchiha without second thoughts, he didn't even fight him. That was unacceptable!

"Well then, let's go Obito." Kakashi said striding over as if nothing had happened. "Oh what do we do these white guys?" he asked gesturing to the white Zetsus.

"Kakashi! You can't just go killing people whenever you feel like it! Just because he was insane, but he wasn't that bad." Obito wanted. He reminded Kakashi strongly of Naruto.

"The moon" was all Kakashi said and Obito fell silent contemplating. Sighing, Kakashi turned to the Zetsu clones, "what do you guys want to do now?"

The Zetsu started attacking Kakashi who promptly fought them too; Obito seeing his teammate in danger joined the fight too. Without thinking Kakashi activated his Mangekyō which forced Obito's to activate as well. It was too much for Obito so he absorbed spiral Zetsu who was encasing him. The next time Obito was attacked the attack went straight through him. The fight was over within minutes and undoubtedly, the boys won.


They left for Konoha afterwards. They kept talking the entire journey; Obito often asked questions that only they would know to confirm that the person he was talking to was indeed Kakashi for he was acting so nonchalant. The Uchiha didn't believe Kakashi could have any sense of humor. Kakashi filled in in what had happened in Obito's absence (the Third Shinobi war ending, not the future). They laughed, teased and hit each other the whole time. When they reached Konoha, Obito blushingly went to check on Rin while Kakashi left to search for Minato.

"Minato Sensei." Kakashi called when he found the older blond near the Hokage tower.

"Kakashi, where were you? I heard you dropped Rin at the hospital and left soon after without even giving a verbal report. That is most unlike you." Minato said sternly after he looked visibly relieved.

"I'm sorry Minato sensei. But you see-" Kakashi said sheepishly but was cut off when Obito ran towards them.

"Minato- sensei. How are you? Are you still with Kushina nee-chan? Is she still as scary as before? Rin is still not awake yet Kakashi. You said she was alright. I had go through the window since I'm supposed to be dead and all. But you can go to get info on her state. Are the Uchiha ancients- I mean elders and the council really mad at me for giving you the sharingan?" Obito finally paused to take a deep breath. "Minato sensei, are you alright? Coz you look like Jiraiya sama whenever he is around Tsunade hime- sama after she threatens him." Indeed Minato was doing a bad imitation of 'fish out of water'.

"Obito? Obito Uchiha? Is that really you?" Minato asked recovering from his shock as Kakashi faked a coughing fit to hide his chuckles.

"Of course sensei. Who else but Konoha's coolest, bravest and awesomest ninja and future Hokage?" Obito declared passionately with a toothy smile. This attracted some passersby who looked at the trio curiously. Kakashi quickly sobered up.

"Let's head to the hospital." He said catching Mianato's eye.

"No first to the Hokage. We need to have a talk." Kakashi nodded in agreement; with only a little protest from Obito, the trio headed over to the tower. Minato succeeded in keeping the tears at bay as he watched his little family get along and finally happy together. At home. It didn't take a genius to know that the rest of "Team Minato" was feeling the exact same thing.


AN: Well, that was it! Short, but it gets better as I'm planning to do till at least Naruto becomes genin or chunin. So thoughts? Questions? Oh and remember, Danzo is the villian not Madara! I like Zetsu too but Kakashi is being thorough and cautious!

Next Up: The Talk with the Third and Obito's homecoming!
