Gai was in the hospital for three hours before his father came bursting in his room. Duy would've been there earlier if it hadn't been for his mission. As soon as Minato told him Gai was badly injured he dashed off to the hospital. Gai eyes shifted from his extremely worried father. Who was crying dramatically. Gai let out a feverish sigh. Minato stood at the door. To view how the enter action would play out. Duy instantly gave is son a hug. Gai face contorted painfully. Sorrow in his eyes as he silently weep. Clutching on to his father back clothing. He buried his face into his father shoulder. Minato stomach turned at the sight of the boy's face. Gai seemed to be holding so much pain and grief. In his silent break down.

Minato blinked in surprise. Who knew someone could still hold grief back while braking down. He knew he would have to keep an eye on Gai for a while.

" It's all right Gai. We should be going home not too long from now. You should be good as new when you get out." Duy said determinedly. Gai didn't trust his self to speak. So he went with the next best thing and nodded.

~X~ = ~X~

When Gai got out the hospital he wasn't allowed to do any missions for a week. Which left him a week of thinking and contemplating. Gai thought his best bet is to start off with Obito.

He'd deal with Orochimaru when he can and if needed. Madara is in old age now. Meaning all he have to do with him. Was the waiting game and wait for him to croak. Unless he couldn't stop him from getting his hands on Obito before then.

A lot was really complicated. He knew exactly what he was going to do. To a certain extinct. Well he would have to check if his power was that of his adult self. It was a great thing he spotted Obito.

" Hey Obito could you spar with me?" Gai asked grinning as he walked over to the Uchiha. Obito blinked as he looked over to the spandex boy.

" Why me? Don't you usually challenge Bakashi?" Obito questions a bit curious.

" Well Kakashi would of denied me anyways. Plus I need to test something. A Uchiha as strong as you should be able to help me." Gai said determinedly. Smiling brightly at him.

" You got the wrong Uchiha then. I can't even activate my shiragan." Obito states with a pout. Gai frowned he thought he had it by now.

" You will get it soon enough. Even advance beyond your clan's expectation. Youth burns deeply within you. What you need is a push." Gai states. Obito blinked at that. It sounded like Gai knew he will. Not to cheer him up or anything. Like he was absolutely positive he would.

" Sure I'll spar with you! Though I am late for meeting up with mg team. I'll meet you after I'm finished." Obito grinned running off.

Gai was still restricted from taking assignments. And couldn't train with his team mates Ebisu and Genma. Since they were out on a mission .

~X~ = ~X~

" Sorry I'm late. I was talking to Gai about sparring. Well more like he asked me." Obito said nearly out of breath.

" If your going to lie Obito I suggest you make it believable." Kakashi says frowning.

" What?! I'm not lying, it's the truth!" Obito shouted at him. Gai hadn't bothered Kakashi for days about some meaningless challenge. And Kakashi was content with that. But he highly doubt that Gai would change rivals so soonly and down grade to Obito. It was kind of insulting.

" Yeah like Gai would spar with you." Kakashi retorted. To Obito the bastard sounded jealous.

"That's enough guys. We still got training and missions to do." Minato said with a deep sigh. With how Gai was acting. Rin wouldn't be surprised if Obito was actually telling the truth. All they really got was D ranked missions. After that Obito ran off to go look for Gai.

He fount Gai near the memorial stone. Practicing on a post. Gai managed to adjust to his shorter body. Which was fairly quick. Especially with how quick he can adapt to things him and Lee.

Gai fount out he got over half his strength when he was an adult, but couldn't see if he had his full compasity if he didn't have a moving target to work on.

Plus an Uchiha would be great to test it out on. He even managed to put on over 60000 ton of weights. So his speed wouldn't look out of place. As to when he was a kid. Which wasn't a lot of help.

" Oi! Gai." Obito called out waving. As he ran over to the boy. Kakashi was a bit surprised he wasn't lying. He planned on watching their sparring. If the Uchiha happened to not be lying.

Unknown to him even Minato and Duy watched in hiding spots. Minato to check Gai for any other possible signs. Duy to see if his son was fully recovered. Duy got off his mission a few hours ago.

Not failing to hear about Gai sparring match. Even Rin, Genma and Ebisu was there. Gai only noticing Ebisu, Rin and Genma being their. If anyone else was there. They masked their chakra pretty well.

Plus Gai was content with a few of his friends watching. It'd be easier to explain. He doubt Kakashi was there. It was good for him anyhow. Not like Kakashi would question him or anything. He just didn't like being followed.

His father now that would take hell to explain to him. He doubt Minato was around. He had his own students to worry about. Unless he was there for Obito. Which was likely.

" OK ready Obito?" Gai asked grinning cheekily. Obito nods seriously getting in his fighting stance. Before Obito could blink Gai was gone.

"Move." He heard Gai voice above him say. Obito barely moved out the way as Gai leg came down. Shattering the ground. Almost causing Obito to fall in. Obito looked at him wide eyes. He don't remembered Gai being that fast and strong.

" If were going to spar Obito. You are going have to doge my attacks and come at me full force." Gai states. He really didn't believe Obito could go down so easily with one move.

" I can't keep up with that speed!" Obito shouts at him. Staring at him like he had lost his mind.

" Yes you can. Uchihas and Hyugas are natural sensory types so are Abrames and Inuzukas. It comes as a sixth sense. Uchiha are known for their eyes. You don't have your shiragan yet. So feel my presents." Gai states firmly. Obito frowned at that.

" How am I suppose to feel you? You maniac! That's nearly impossible." Obito states grumpily.

" Yes you can. Are you really given up that easily? Listen nothing is impossible and I mean nothing. You have Uchiha blood. Instead of looking at it like the impossible. See it as something you can easily grab a hold of. Got it?" Gai states pointing at him.

" Well I guess so." Obito muttered out.

" Great now close your eyes." Gai demands. Obito look at him as if he was crazy. When he stared at him expectantly his sighed closing his eyes.

"Now feel everything around you . As if you can actually see it. Let your chakra expand." Gai states.

" For you it should be easy. Since you know how to concertrate your chakra in the sole of your feet. Now think of it like that but only exploding out." Gai explains. Obito nods eyes closed tightly. Obito could feel the breeze move by softly. Gai could feel Obito chakra releasing.

" Not so much it'll drain you. Plus you only need little chakra to actually do this." Gai calls out. Obito nods in acknowledgement. Listening he died down how much chakra he let out. His chakra spread like wild fire. Obito could see Rin, Ebisu, Genma and even Kakashi. Obito eyes opened wide turning to the trees they were hiding behind and bushes. Minato, Kakashi, Rin, Duy, Genma and Ebisu all stared in surprise. Gai taught Obito an advance technique like it was simple.

" See it works now do the same thing only in reverse. Surpress your chakra till you can't feel it no more. " Gai states. Obito nods. Carefully drawing in all his chakra. Till he couldn't feel it. Gai was happy that Obito was a fast learner. Minato was beyond shock. All he had to do was numb it down for Obito to get it. He would of tried that method ages ago.

"Great! Now keep downing that. While you send your chakra out to search." Obito opened his eyes nodding. He fount it simple to do. He even fount Duy and Minato was this time. Kakashi gritted his teeth. Gai taught Obito how to sense and hide is chakra at a high rate.

Duy was proud of his son. Minato was sure he would bring Gai to their training. If Obito got it like this. To were he could even sense him. Minato was even hiding his self to full compasity. But still enough to hide from genin or chunnins. Gai managed to teach Obito how to sense and surpress chakra at a jounin level.

" Now back to sparring." Gai states happily. Obito nodded determinedly. Like that Gai was gone. This time Obito was able to move quick enough. Taking out a kunai. Obito wasn't able to doge the kick to his side.

" Just cause you can sense me doesn't mean you can match my spread. Subsutute for what you lack. " Gai called out appearing by Obito. Who mange to block Gai incoming fist with his arm.

' Think quickly.' Obito thought to his self. Scanning his surroundings.

" In true battle you must think on your feet. Your enemy won't be as youthful as me. Your left side is weak and is exposed a lot." Gai states. Obito was able to block Gai foot that time. At the coast of almost shattering his arm bone.

" Look for you enemy weakness. Don't be fooled they won't leave any clear opening. Study their movement quickly. Adjust as so. Instantly attack at the sight of an opening." Gai states seriously. Attacking quickly from every direction. Obito kept up with him barely. He still got hit and he was kept on the defense.

' There!' Obito quickly shifted his stance. Other foot moving under him. As he hoisted his self up from the ground. Twirling fast enough to catch Gai. Who instantly crossed his arms. Drawing his legs in. As Obito kicks sent him back. Tumbling back. Gai stuck his legs out. Firmly placing his self on the ground before he went back even farther.

"Great job Obito your approving! Told ya it's that Uchiha blood!" Gai said happily. It felt more of a training than sparring, but he was happy none of the less. He learned alot. All thanks to Gai. At least he had something great to tell his mom.

' Oh man mom! I'm totally late!' Obito shouted in his head.

" Thanks Gai but I got to go. Before my kill me!" Obito shouts running off.

" Don't forget to train with your new youthful exercises!" Gai calls out to him.

"OK!" He heard Obito shout in the distance.

' Jeez it seem like he sensed more people. Oh well deal with it later." Gai sighed rubbing the back of his head.

~X~=~X~

Week after week Obito and Gai 'sparred.' He was able to go on missions with Ebisu and Genma again. Minato seen Obito improve dramatically. Gai even helped Ebisu and Genma improve as much as he could. He was planning on asking Rin to spar with him next.

Kakashi was growing frustrated and didn't really know why. It was great to have Gai stop bugging him. So what was the problem. He was happy Obito improved. One less person to slow him down. Gai even hanged around Obito more. It was annoying.

' Did I get too boring or something? Am I not worthy of his time?' Kakashi thought angrily. Why do Obito get all of Gai's attention?! Kakashi stopped mid walk to home at the thought.

He quickly shook the thought out of his head. Like he'd care who that green idiot hang around. Kakashi thought nearly storming home.
