I'm terribly sorry. Last chapter was one big mess. I updated the last chapter, so it wouldn't be as messed up. Anyways, I want to get to the part where naruto's genin days start as fast as possible. I got a little twist in mind that you guy's will like :)
It was a normal day in Konoha. Ninja ran in and out of the hokage building, and Sarutobi was barely visible behind his stacks of paperwork. He needed to find a successor one of these day's, or he might just go senile! To his delight, team Minato just walked in.
"Eh? Where is the old man?" Obito asked.
Minato noticed the smoke coming from Sarutobi's pipe rising up behind a pile of unsigned documents.
"Lord hokage, team Minato is here to request a mission" Minato said.
Sarutobi smiled, and stood up. He walked in front of his desk. Obite let a small sigh of relief.
"I almost thought you were gone, old man!" He smirked. The third couldn't help but smile back. He liked ninja like Obito. Sure, they may not be the best ninja (at least, not yet!), but they sure did brighten up his day's.
"What kind of mission do you recommend, Minato?" The third asked.
"I think just a C-rank will be enough to occupy them for today" he said, his sunny smile never leaving his face. "He is a good role model for young ninja, maybe I should consider him" the third thought as he took a paper from the many piles in his office.
"I think this is a good one! The task is simple, you are just supposed to find a guy named Shinjo. He is an veteran and the last member of an old clan, who specialized in fire style ninjutsu. As he is the last member of his clan, and he has no children to pass on his legacy, he wants to entrust Konoha with his family's ninjutsu scrolls so his clan won't be forgotten. The man lives in the land of Sun, near the land of water."
At the village gates
Rin, Kakashi and Minato were waiting for Obito. Not that that was exceptional, he was always late. But that didn't take away that Kakashi thought it was super annoying.
"Can't that idiot be on time for once?" Kakashi said with a voice so cold it almost froze the sun.
"Now now, I'm sure Obito has a good reason for being late" Minato said, with an unsure smile across his face.
Rin in the meantime had a happy smile on her face. "This is the first mission Obito is allowed to go on since his arm was injured, so he will show up any second now. I know he will be happy to go on a mission again after such a long time!" Rin said happily. She was happy that everything finally had calmed down. The third great ninja war ended a month ago, about the time Obito could move his arm again. He went on for weeks how he wished he could have fought with his friends. And although the damage was still visible, little by little the world seemed to build itself up. Rin was all to happy that her team managed to survive.
Kakashi sighed, and sat down against the gate of Konoha. He decided that arguing would only be a waste of energy.
Obito, in the meantime, was running as fast as he could towards the gate. His cousin Shisui decided that Obito had to play with him, and stole his trademark goggles. And damn, for an academy student, his cousin was fast. Not faster than Obito, of course, but the little brat was sneaky enough to stay out of touch for a good 20 minutes. And leaving without his goggles was out of the question. Of course, this all meant that he would have to deal with an annoyed Kakashi for the rest of the day.
As Obito arrived, his teammates, under the lead of Kakashi, all said: "YOUR LATE!"
"Sorry, a thief stole something important from me, and I had to chase him to get it back!" that that thief was an academy student, nobody needed to know.
"Well, now that we are all here, let's leave for the land of Sun!" Minato said cheerfully. He and Rin smiled, as they walked behind their two arguing teammates.
After a good 7 hours, they reached a small little village near the border with the land of Water where their client lived. Minato lead the way, and his team followed. He knocked on the man's door. Little did they know, that they were being shadowed by a man in a black cloak with red clouds.
The mission had gone smoothly. The old man gave them the scroll, and was kind enough to let them rest for a little bit before taking off to Konoha again. But after another 3 hours of running, the sun was going down, and they decided to set up camp for the night. They started a small fire, and put their sleeping bags in a circle around it. After a few hours of talking, laughing and arguing, they decided to get some sleep. Obito and Kakashi prepared to go to bed, and Minato was about to do the same when he saw Rin walking away.
"Rin? Where are you going?" He asked
"I'm going to get some water to put out the fire!" she shouted. Minato was somewhat worried that a girl like her would just run into the forest at night, but she was a ninja and could protect herself.
Rin managed to find a river, and took the bottle she took with her, and filled it up with water. She put the bottle in her backpack and was about to return to the camp, when suddenly, she noticed a sound coming from a bush, as she turned around, 5 enemy ninja appeared behind her. One put a kunai to her throat, another took a rope and tied her hands together, and another one put a piece of cloth in her mouth. In the faint moonlight, she could barely make out the headband of the ninja that attacked her: Kirigakure. She was terrified, but tried to think as fast as she could.
"Is anybody still around?" one of the men asked.
"I double checked the area, her teammates aren't around" a female voice said.
Rin panicked. What if the others didn't find out about her? What would happen then? She had no time to think about it, as the enemy cast a genjutsu on her, and she fell unconscious.
It took about 5 minutes for Minato to wonder what kept Rin. It took about another 5 to get him worried. Another 5 minutes later he woke up Obito and Kakashi.
"What is it sensei?" Obito said with a annoyed face. The boy certainly didn't like to be woke up.
"Rin has still not come back. I'm getting worried, so let's go look for her." Minato said.
As the 3 ninja dashed trough the trees, Minato's suspicions grew with each step. They jumped down near the river, and Obito was the first one to react.
"Rin? Riiin? RIIIIN? Where are you? RIN?" he shouted. Minato and Kakashi were looking around.
"Sensei, these are Rin's footprints, but they are surrounded by other footprints. I think about 5 different ones!" Kakashi said, his face changing into serious-mode.
Minato ran over. He took a look at the footprints.
"There are 3 guys and 2 girls. One of the girls is a genjutsu user, the other is a medic. Out of the 3 guys, 2 are water-style users, and one is a wind-style user". Minato said with a voice most people didn't even know he had. His face was stern, is muscles tensed, and his eyes were just screaming that he would kill whoever did this to his pupil. It made Kakashi tremble a bit. When it came down to it, his sensei was a totally different person.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" Kakashi shouted, as pakkun appeared beside him. Pakkun's face was the same as always: bored and irritated.
"Yo Kakashi, what do ya need me for?" Pakkun said nonchalantly, creeping Obito out a bit. No matter how many times Kakashi summoned Pakkun, he would never get used to a talking dog.
"Rin has been captured by enemy ninja. Use this weapon pouch she gave me as a "congrats on making jounin" present to track her" Kakashi said.
"Got it" said Pakkun as he dashed of, the three male ninja right behind him.
With Rin
As Rin regained consciousness, she noticed she was chained to a stone table in some sort of cave. The cave was lit up by torches that hung against the wall, and four pillars with skull candles that stood around the stone table. In front of her, she could see a boy, who was chained to a stone cross. The boy was young, maybe only 10, and was wearing a Kirigakure headband. His eyes were wide open, his pupil's were lifeless. Rin wondered if the boy was still alive. Next to the boy, Rin saw the enemy ninja that attacked her earlier. They all lied there on the ground, their eyes wide open. Black markings were spread across their face
"I see that you are awake, Rin Nohara."
A tall man with a deep voice walked out of the shadows. At first Rin mistook his eyes for a sharingan, but there were no tomoe in his eyes. The man was wearing a black cloak with red clouds on, and had black hair. All of this was hard to see, as the man's face was covered in shadows, and only one single strand of hair fell over his face, backed up by his two glowing red eyes.
He walked over to the ninja that attacked her, and put his hand on their heads. The black markings started to move, and ran over his arms into his sleeve. One by one, the markings on the ninja disappeared.
"Seals are a better way of controlling someone's mind then genjutsu. They can't be released by a simple release technique" the man spoke.
The man walked over to her, and pulled her shirt up so her stomach was revealed. He then walked over to the boy, to whom he did the same thing.
"Who are you? Why are you doing this to me? What are you planning?" Rin panicked. She didn't know what was going on anymore. The man stayed silent, his back towards her, and slowly turned around. She could see his face more clearly, and noticed a little black star on his forehead.
"I am a person who wants peace. My whole life I have seen suffering, and my plan is to bring peace to this world. Yet my name is something that I had to discard. Nobody would believe me if I told them my name" the man said slowly. Rin noticed that his eyes were lifeless, almost sad. Yet his red, glowing eyes still gave her the chills.
The man faced the boy again, waved trough some handseals, and then put his hand on the boy's stomach.
"Fuuinjutsu: eito hime fuuin isou!"
The man's hand began glowing green, and a black seal appeared on the boy's stomach. As the man seemingly pushed his hand into the boy's stomach, het grabbed something, and then pulled out something that Rin only could think of as a giant spirit of a turtle. The turtle was fighting back, but the man managed to pull him further and further out towards rin. He then put his other hand on Rin's stomach.
"Eito hime kansei!" He shouted, as he let his hands go, and the turtle transformed into what seemed as a red liquid, which was now flowing from the boy into Rin. Rin suddenly felt a pain as if someone was pushing a dull blade into her stomach, and then forced something inside the hole that was way too big. The pain was terrible, but somehow Rin couldn't utter a single scream. Instead, small chuckles came from her throat, as she bend her back away from the stone table.
Suddenly, a white streak of light flashed before Rin's eyes, and she saw that the red liquid that connected her with the boy was broken. She looked to her left. Kakashi stood there, with his White Light Chakra Sabre in his hand.
"You do not know who your'e messing with, BOY!" the cloaked man shouted, a furious look in his eyes. He held a black iron stick out, ready to stab Kakashi, but suddenly felt someone grab his arm. Minato had tagged Kakashi, and used Hiraishin to teleport to him, and grabbed the man's arm. Minato held his free hand stretched behind him, and a blue ball formed in it.
"Rasengan!"
The cloaked man flew trough the cave, crashing into a wall. He stood up, clearly shocked from the experience.
By the time the man had made contact with the wall, Obito had already ran at Rin, and freed her from her chains. He then helped her up, by letting her lean on his shoulder.
"Thank you, Obito…" she said weak. Obit had a worried expression on his face. He looked at the cloaked man. He was obviously mad, but not as mad as Obito. Obito felt like running at him and tear him in a thousand pieces.
Minato formed a rasengan, tagged kunai ready in his other hand. Kakashi formed a chidori and Obito Activated his sharingan. The cloaked man just watched them.
"Well, this is not how I planned everything out. The sealing is incomplete and I didn't manage to put the puppet-master jutsu on the girl. But even though I am strong, I am no match for the yellow flash and his entire team. You win this round Rin, that is, if you survive…"
The cloaked man then sunk into the ground. Minato threw his kunai at him, but the kunai suddenly hit an invisible wall. By the time he managed to run over there, the man was already gone. Minato cursed himself for not being fast enough. This meant months of training to become even faster then he was now.
All these thoughts, however, were wiped out of his mind as suddenly Obito screamed his lungs out.
"RIN!"
Rin was in bad shape. She started coughing up blood, and her eyes were weak.
"O-bi-…" she said as she was cut off by a black void claiming her vision. She started to slip away as the last of her chakra ran out…
Something inside Obito snapped. His sharingan just saw the last of her chakra disappear. He wasn't stupid, he knew what that meant. When someone completely ran out of chakra, that means that person is dead. Tears started to roll from his face, as his mind progressed what just happened.
His face turned upward. He screamed out her name one more time, as his sharingan started to twist and turn, and the Mangekyou Sharingan nested itself into his eyes.
Rin was slowly floating into a black void. She couldn't feel her body anymore. Everything was so peacefull. She just wanted to go to sleep, an never wake up.
"RIIIIIIIIIIN!" she heard someone yell. Who was it? Couldn't they just leave her alone? She was trying to sleep. Suddenly, a nice heat started to wash over her opened her eyes as the red liquid that was pouring in her a minute ago grabbed her body, and lifted it up. As she floated higher and higher, she could see a faint light. As she floated closer and closer, she could see people in the light. Minato was crying, Kakashi had the saddest expression on his face Rin had ever seen, and Obito's eyes were full of anger, hatred, and shock. Suddenly, she gasped for air.
"She's alive!" Minato shouted. Obito and Kakashi turned around, as their faces lit up, and they ran over to check on Rin. Rin, in the meantime, didn't know what was going on. She thought she was dead. No, she really was dead for a moment. But something pulled her back into the world of the living. She only smiled as everything went black again, this time only losing consciousness.
And that's it! If you haven't figured out what happened yet, I would advise you to watch the Kakashi Chronicles arc of the anime. I think that's where we learn what really happened to Rin. Now, I wasn't planning on making her a jinchuuriki, but then I remembered that that's the sole reason Rin wanted Kakashi to kill her. The next part will be more peacefull, as Rin has to adapt to her new lifestyle. I guess about 2-3 more chapters before we finally get to Naruto. Anyways, thank you for reading this story. I hope to have chapter 3 up in a couple of day's. See ya!
.i.2000: Thanks for the review! I realize I screwed up last chapter, but this time I made sure to stay with on pov! It was all because there were nearly no stories like this, that I wanted to write a "Obito-alive" fic. Anyways, thanks for reading!
