Jill will write this story,

Jill will sing a song.

Kishimoto owns Naruto,

Hence it's all gone wrong.

Just thought I'd mix up the way I do things. =)

The problem with planning a story as a one-shot, and then writing another chapter at a much later point, is that the writing style is completely different. This will still make sense, but I don't think it has the fast-pace/short-lined style as Part I of ObiTobi did. It was fun to write, though. =)

ObiTobi—Part II

Of course, it was only a short while later that Obito was sadly and tragically crushed by a giant boulder falling on him during the Battle at Kannabi Bridge.

His teammates went on to finish the mission without him, returning to a peaceful Konoha a week later. Then Minato was chosen as Hokage, and had about a year to do Hokage stuff before the Kyuubi no Yoko attacked.

"Crap," Minato said as he stood on Gamabunta's head. "That thing is furry."

Gamabunta nodded, causing the Yondaime Hokage to bob awkwardly with him. "Yeah," the big toad agreed.

"Could you stop doing that? You're making me sick," Minato asked politely.

Gamabunta huffed a breath of air.

"Hey," the Kyuubi said. "Are we not supposed to be fighting here?"

"Yes, sorry," Minato apologized. "Just let me set something up first."

The Kyuubi seemed to consider this, tilting his giant head to the side, before he nodded. "Okay."

Rin and Kakashi, watching from the sidelines where they were preparing to help attack when needed, stared at their sensei in awe. "Minato-sensei is so cool!" Rin gushed.

"And the Kyuubi is kind of dumb," Kakashi added.

Rin nodded. "Yeah…"

Just then, Jiraiya came bounding from the hospital, a white bundle in his arms. "Hey, Minato-gaki," he called.

Minato turned slightly, looking irritated at being called "Minato-brat" but Jiraiya ignored him for many reasons. One, Jiraiya is one of the Three Legendary Sannin. He can say what he wants. Two, Minato is his student, so Jiraiya's supposed to insult him. And, three, Jiraiya couldn't actually decipher Minato's "annoyed" look from his "what a nasty smell" look, and considering the Kyuubi and Minato's students were around, it really could have been either.

"Hey, Jiraiya-sensei," Minato replied. "Have you got Naruto-kun with you?"

Jiraiya nodded, holding the white bundle, which Kakashi and Rin could now see was a blonde baby, out to Minato.

"I'm sorry, Naruto-kun," Minato said to his son.

"Hey, wait," Rin interrupted, climbing up Gamabunta inelegantly, Kakashi following with much more grace. "Why does he already have whisker marks?"

Minato looked at his baby and frowned. "That's odd. It must be from Kushina's side of the family."

Hyuuga Hizashi, who was nearby helping the fight, muttered cryptically, "Or perhaps little Naruto-kun was fated to have this job from his very birth…"

"…Yeah…" Rin, Kakashi, Minato, and Jiraiya said together.

"Ahem," Kyuubi said. "I do hate to be rude about this, but I am afraid I really must get on if I want to cause mayhem and destruction in your noble village by mid-dawn."

"Wow," Rin said, staring at the vast beast in shock. "You have the weirdest speech I have ever heard from an animal, and considering the Inuzuka clan's dogs can sometimes talk, that's saying something."

Kyuubi frowned at her. "Whatever do you mean?" he asked.

"You used the word 'noble' in a sentence. You almost sound like you're trying to talk in Old English," Rin informed him.

"Oh. I'll have to work on that. I was going for European-English," Kyuubi said.

"You mean you're acting?" Kakashi asked, eyes (his Sharingan was revealed) narrowed.

Kyuubi started nodding, but then quickly stopped. "No, no! I'm not acting. I'm here to kill you. Rawr."

The shinobi sweatdropped. "…Yeah, I'm ready to begin," Minato said, holding his hands in the last seal for some jutsu, while Jiraiya carefully held Naruto out in front of him.

Kyuubi nodded. "Okay. Prepare yourselves," he said, failing completely at sounding menacing.

"He almost sounds regretful," Rin noted.

Kakashi snorted. "Please, he's only regretting not starting earlier and eating all of us faster."

Rin was about to respond, but then Kyuubi disappeared, Naruto started to cry, Minato said something and flopped forward, Hyuuga Hizashi activated his Byakugan and stared at Naruto in a way that made everyone uncomfortable, and Kakashi blinked. "Well, shit," he said. "That was… fast."

Rin nodded. "Weren't lots of people supposed to die in this fight?"

Jiraiya hopped off Gamabunta's head, Naruto tucked close to his chest, and headed towards the Hokage Tower. Not knowing what else to do, the students of the Yondaime Hokage followed.

The other shinobi began gathering their dead comrades, and Gamabunta dispelled himself.

No one saw the cloaked man in the orange mask come forth from the shadows and steal Namikaze Minato's body away.

LINE BREAK

When Minato woke up, he registered two thoughts. The first was, How the hell am I awake? The second was, Dagnammit, I'm sore. Which is odd, because I didn't actually fight. He then came to this conclusion: The Shinigami has one hell of a boney arm.

Sitting blearily up on the funny mattress he was lying on in what could only be the basement of some evil organization's headquarters, Minato looked around with interest.

"Hi, there," said a very familiar voice.

Minato turned his head the other way and experienced one of those odd sinking sensations in his stomach that he'd always read about, but never personally felt—until now. Let's just say it made him suddenly need to use the toilet.

"So, how was your battle of epic awesomeness with my friend Kyuubi?" the cheery voice continued, one red Sharingan eye ablaze, though not literally as this particular Sharingan-wielder does not have the Amaterasu.

"Um…" Minato replied. "What are you doing here, Obito?" he asked more calmly than he felt.

Obito smiled beneath the ugly orange mask he had shown his teammates a year ago. "What do you think I'm doing here, Minato-sensei?" he asked cheekily. "This is my evil organization, the Akatsuki! Welcome to our headquarters!" he cheered.

Minato blinked. Well, I was right about where I was, although I didn't get the organization… still… "I thought most of your members were in diapers."

Obito frowned, although the mask was still in the way. "That's true…" he answered slowly. "But they'll come here soon. Especially now that I've got you here!"

"What do I have to do with anything?" Minato asked. "And why am I not dead? Because that technique I used to seal the Kyuubi in Naruto-kun definitely said on the instructions that it would kill me."

Obito gasped in horror. "You sealed the Kyuubi? Nooo!"

Minato frowned, puzzled at this outburst. "What?"

Obito removed his mask for a second to reveal his scarred faced from the whole rock thing, and wiped his eye sadly. "I need him for my moon plan! And we have a go match planned next week!"

"You play go with the Kyuubi no Yoko?" Minato deadpanned. "The strongest of all the bijuu?"

Obito nodded. "Yeah! And I had a really good strategy so I could finally beat him this time!"

"Um… you play go with a beast, and you lose?"

Obito glowered at him. "Yes. But that's beside the point. He won't let me use my Mangekyou Sharingan, so it's really tricky!"

"When did you get the Mangekyou?" Minato asked, needing answers but trying to tackle each question one by one. He knew how his old student worked; he couldn't be overwhelmed and you had to be careful he didn't get distracted.

"I got it when Ritz died!" Obito said, now blowing his nose into a hanky sadly. The mask lay on the table behind him.

"Ritz?" Minato asked.

"Yeah! My dog when I was younger! He died when I was six!" Obito said.

"You got the Mangekyou when you were six?" Minato asked.

Obito nodded once more. "Mm-hmm."

"Before you even got normal Sharingan? How did that work?"

"Oh," Obito said, looking confused. A thoughtful frown graced his features. "I have no idea."

"Um… okay then."

Obito looked expectantly at Minato.

"What?" Minato asked.

"I'm going to show you around now! You can be the pseudo-leader of the Akatsuki, while people will know me as Tobi!" he cheered, placing the mask back on, and with it, a slightly dopier personality (although Minato was hard pressed to find the difference).

"Um, no offense, Obi—Tob—ObiTobi," Minato began. "But since I'm still alive, I'd really prefer to go back to Konoha, and carry out my duty as Hokage. Also, I have a responsibility as a father to Naruto, and I'd like to marry Kushina now that our son is born," Minato said.

Obito looked sadly back at his teacher. "Um, Minato-sensei… Kushina-chan is dead," he said.

"What?" Minato asked.

"She died in child birth."

"How do you know this?" Minato burst out.

"I was nearby Konoha…" Obito answered vaguely.

"Why?" Minato asked, eyes narrowed.

"Let's discuss this later," Obito said, cheerful once more. "For now… you've got to get situated as Akatsuki head. Here, put this on," he said, handing Minato what had to be the ugliest cloak he had ever seen.

"What is this?" he asked, looking at the red and black cloud-covered cloak in his hands with distaste.

"The Akatsuki cloaks!" Obito replied cheerfully. "Aren't they great?" he gushed.

Figures he would like something like this, Minato thought, frowning. He pulled the cloak over his head, nonetheless. "Where's my jacket?" Minato asked, thinking of his white flaming coat.

"I sent it out for dry cleaning," came Obito's response as he moved out of the room and down the hallway.

"You can send stuff for dry cleaning?" Minato asked, shocked.

"Yes," Obito said slowly. "You just put it outside the door and make your su—"

"No, I mean, you're a criminal, but they'll wash your clothes?"

"How else do you think criminals stay clean? Have spare copies?" Obito snorted. "Anyway, our mission as the Akatsuki is to capture the tailed beasts, start a world-wide war, but particularly obliterate Konoha, and then place a mass-genjutsu on everyone by reassembling the Ten-Tailed Beast and doing something or other with the moon."

"Wait, wait," Minato said. "I know about your moon plan, but what the heck is with destroying Konoha? We're both from Konoha! I'm the Hokage!"

Obito waved his concerns away. "Yes, but my great grandfather times a lot has this grudge against Konoha, something about not recognizing the Uchiha properly, so I'm gonna avenge him."

"You don't even know what the grudge is for?" Minato fairly screeched.

Obito clamped his hands over his ears. "No, but who cares? I'm evil!" he said happily.

"…Yeah…" Minato said. "But what about capturing the bijuu?"

"Oh, yeah. We need them to use their power to make the Big Beastie and then put him on the moon and then make everyone like us. At least, I think that's what we need to do. Madara-jiji's blue prints are a little vague."

"Madara?" Minato choked out.

"Yup. I found his scrolls in the Uchiha Vault. That's where I got the idea for the Akatsuki in the first place, although the name and uniform are my ideas," Obito said, looking immensely proud of himself. "Madara-ji's ideas were pretty old-fashioned," he confided to his former sensei.

"Um, yeah, but you do realize I just sealed one of the bijuu into my son?" Minato said, in what he considered to be a calm voice.

"Oh shit," Obito said.

"Yes," Minato agreed. "Oh shit."

"Um… so…" Obito began, nervously scratching his head. "When we extract the Kyuubi, um, Naruto-kun… well, he might not make it…"

Minato's eyes turned an ice cold blue and Obito felt the temperature drop as his teacher's anger leaked out of every pore on the man's body. "What?" he hissed angrily.

"Never mind, never mind," Obito said hastily. "We'll just get him last," he assured his teacher.

"If you had the Kyuubi in your control," Minato hissed out, "which I know you did because you play go with him and the Mangekyou can control bijuu, why did you send it Konoha?"

"It was an elaborate plan to get you to join me in the Akatsuki," Obito said nervously.

"You couldn't just ask?" Minato forced through clenched teeth.

"Oh," Obito said, sounding as though he was having an epiphany moment. "I never thought of that."

Minato's scream of rage could be heard all the way back to Konoha, where Rin and Kakashi paused in playing with baby Naruto.

"That sounds eerily like Sensei's 'Obito, you baka' scream," Rin said.

Kakashi merely nodded as Naruto drooled on his lap. "He's probably met the moron up in heaven, where Obito is sure to cause some kind of trouble."

Rin laughed. "Yeah," she said.

They remained unknowing of their teammate and teacher's plans to conquer the world, one tailed-beast at a time…

…as soon as the rest of the Akatsuki got out of their diapers, that is.
