Chapter 2: Sharingan!

~ You'll become stronger when you're protecting your precious people. – Haku

Obito looked with scared eyes as her father was fighting off four shinobi's and her mother the other two but it didn't look good. Tears were rolling down her pale, chubby cheeks, feeling like something was constricting her lungs, making her unable to breathe properly. What should she do? Or better yet what could she do. She was small and fragile; they could snap her neck with one twist of their hands.

Her mother rolled to the left side, avoiding a nasty cut to her right shoulder and leaped up at the nearest nin, slashing with her kunai. A small smile appeared on her face as she beamed at how strong her parents were. It was two against six, normally logic would say those two would get squashed like a bug but this time her heart was winning. Her parents will win.

They had to.

Looking at her father, she saw that he was faring very well especially seeing that he was against four of them. When he was unexpectedly kicked in the gut and slammed against a tree she couldn't help but flinch and scream his name loudly. "Tou-chan!" He was struggling but it would be too late. Those nins were advancing too fast for him, he needed more time. She needed to do something.

Anything.

Thinkthinkthink.

At her left side she saw small pebbles, sharp and painful if aimed with great accuracy. She picked them up with haste, sending nervous glances to her father as he was still struggling, his chest heaving too fast, meaning that the kick punctured his lungs. She didn't know and that was making her terrified by the second. Fear for the unknown, she had read in one of those books her mother liked very much. Gripping the pebbles hard, she aimed it at the nearest nin who was approaching her father, screaming loudly. "Leave my father alone!"

The shinobi's stiffened, turned around and glared harshly at her while the one who was hit looked pissed beyond words. "You little bitch. I'll enjoy ripping you in tiny pieces." His friends were laughing as their attention shifted from her father to her. She was kind of glad and nervous but she didn't let it show on her face. She kept a cool mask as she assessed her own situation. She was facing a Chunin-Jounin level shinobi while she was a newbie, not even Genin.

It didn't look like it was in her advantage this time. Sighing, she tried to formulate a plan but couldn't come up with anything. They were physically stronger and had more experience than her. Then what could she do?

"Not so tough anymore, heh…" A cruel smirk flashed on his face as his grip on the kunai tightened even more, preparing for the last slash.

No! She wouldn't go down without a fight. She would protect her family, her father and mother who loved her more than their own life. She owed them her life. Her father was recuperating fast but not fast enough to help her. His face was pained as he forced himself to get up and he kept glancing in her direction. Determination was seeping into his eyes and it seemed his energy was increasing. But for now she was on her own. "Less talking and more fighting." Obito provoked the giant idiot with taunts and it seemed it was working.

The giant was getting annoyed, that much was obvious but she ignored the pang of fear that pushed everything away, even when he lifted his fist ready to smash her brains in she couldn't move. What now?

"Heh… pitiful." He harshly whispered and his fist came down as Obito watched everything slow down.

Her father screaming to her to move, her mother who looked shocked and started running towards her only to be surrounded by the two as they forced her to fight. The shinobi's were waiting eagerly for the blood to cover the green lush grass. Obito didn't know why everything was slowing down but she felt a bit more confident than before and rolled out-of-the-way as her mind screamed loudly: NOW! When the giant fist reached the ground it was smashed into a small crater. If it were her she would've been dead meat already. Gulping, she took her fighting stance, feeling better than before.

She concentrated hard on her chakra, feeling the power surge through her veins and aimed a punch towards the man's crotch. If she remembered well her mother had advised her to attack grown-up men in this particularly place. She didn't know why only that it worked effectively, seeing as her father was knocked out with one hard punch from her mother.

"Kaa-chan, where is the weak spot of tou-chan?" Obito asked her mother, her head tilted to the left side, accentuating her cuteness.

Rya giggled loudly, making Obito wonder what was so funny. A frown appeared on her face as the laughter didn't stop. "Kaa-chan?"

Rya stopped giggling, although she still had to stifle them. "That's a question you'll know later when you grow up."

Silence was ensued again but the little girl wasn't satisfied with that answer and kept repeating the same question over and over. What was so secret about a weak spot? Wasn't she important enough to be trusted? Did they love her? It didn't seem like if they didn't tell her something like that. Didn't they trust her?

…

Tears were leaking her wide, onyx black eyes as she looked at her mother, lips trembling. "Kaa-chan, don't you love me?" The child sniffled, looking at her mother with big teary eyes, making her look very irresistible.

Rya stiffened and then panic burst loose; she was shaking her head as she embraced her little flower, whispering soft and gentle words constantly. "Of course, I love you- no, we love you very much, my little princess." Her fingers were drawing circles on Obito's back, soothing the frantic child. Rya felt so stupid, how could she say it in that way? It was a child for Kami's sake and yet she didn't tell it properly. Her little girl misunderstood and thought she wasn't loyal. Looking at Obito, she gave her a gentle smile, wiping away the tears on her chubby cheeks.

"So cute." Rya cooed, lifting the girl up and walking towards their house. Seeing Daisuke there, polishing his kunai, made her think of a brilliant plan. "Obi-chan, look very carefully. I'll show you tou-chan's secret weakness but don't tell anyone."

The girl's eyes widened like saucers as she kept bobbing her head up and down, eyes shining with anticipation and excitement. A harsh whisper made her look back to Daisuke who had nicked his thumb rather deeply, glaring at the bloodied kunai in his hands. At that moment she should have ran up to her husband, healing his thumb but she didn't.

Only two words were repeating in her head continuously, making her so furious.

"Damn it!"

Damn it.

Damn it.

At first she wanted to show Obito a little weakness of him but now she was so mad that she would give him something to think about. Something very painful. A devilish smirk appeared on her face and she nudged Obito to step forward. "Go distract your father, greet him or something," She crossed her arms, waiting till Obito embraced her father and greeted him exciting, her eyes glancing back to Rya who was walking towards Daisuke, smirk still plastered on her face.

"Dai-kun?" Rya spoke sweetly, wiping the smirk op her face and changed it for a soft smile.

Daisuke grinned widely, seeing his beautiful wife coming towards him with a gentle aura around her. It made him puff out his chest in pride for she was all his. And of course, little Obi-chan.

He stood up, opening his arms, waiting for her to embrace him but what he got was something he didn't foresee, not even with his Sharingan would he see this. Tears were leaking in his eyes and just as he was about to grip it, Rya's angry voice stopped him, "If I were you I wouldn't do that. Obito is looking."

Daisuke cursed inwardly as the pain made him see black spots. He couldn't think straight anymore. How old was he anyway?

…

26? No, 22. Or was it 23?

With that he dropped on the ground with a very unmanly shriek, making Obito jump in the air as she was frantically running around her father, yelling that he was hurt. Rya stopped her daughter who was on the verge of tears, smiling softly at him. "Don't worry, tou-chan got beat."

Obito rubbed her tears away, looking hopefully at her mother. "With one kick? You sure?"

"Yep, that was his weakness."

Obito giggled as she heard her father groan in pain, his fingers twitching violently. Her mother soon joined her laughter, filling the clearing with joy and happiness, except for one little Uchiha man.

Poor Daisuke, he never was lucky…

The man's eyes bulged out, almost out of his eye sockets, making Obito feel rather proud for her strength. A string of curses left the man's mouth, making her flinch. If her mother could she would've hit him where the sun doesn't shine, that's what her mother always said about that particular spot. Without another word the man fell on the ground, holding his weak spot tightly, cursing Obito to the depth of hell. Whatever that was she didn't care. She wanted this fighting to stop and get back home. Her heart was beating erratically and her breathing was getting heavier and heavier. She still was a little girl and couldn't stay fit like a grown-up. She had to finish this.

And quickly since a little voice in the back of her mind was telling her that something bad will happen.

Her father was fighting again and he had a little advantage, seeing that she had neutralized one of the men. Her mother knocked one of them out, making it one against one.

Only four left.

What should she do?

As if her mother heard her, she screamed loudly, making Obito jump in the air, "Stay there, Obito! Don't move!"

Her father couldn't stop and look at his daughter, although he wanted nothing more. If he would stop then they would direct their attention to his little girl and he couldn't afford that.

Obito's eyes widened as the man fighting her mother raised a kunai but she avoided it but that wasn't the reason that she was looking in shock. No, the reason was that the kunai came back towards her mother who didn't notice the kunai. But she did. Obito ran and screamed, "Kaa-chan! Kunai behind your back!" trying to get her attention.

Everything seemed to slow down even more. The kunai was almost there. Her mother slowly turned around, her eyes wide as she saw the approaching kunai coming back and then she looked at her daughter who was running towards her, eyes blazing red with two tomoes in both of her eyes with a scared expression on her face. The mist-nin looked at her daughter, grinned savagely and changed direction of the kunai towards Obito. Rya didn't think, only acted as she sprinted towards her daughter, praying to Kami that she would make it. She would make it.

Obito pushed her legs faster, trying to reach her mother but then she stopped. She froze and her mouth parted open but nothing came out.

Du-dum.

Du-dum.

She felt something hard against her and then blood.

Du-dum.

Du-dum.

…

It was everywhere, on her clothes, her face, her arms, her legs …

…Du-dum.

Her mother turned around, blood dripping down her legs as her hand was clenching the kunai tightly. A gentle smile on her face as she looked worriedly at her. At that moment her world seemed to stop. Her mother.

Her beautiful, gorgeous mother.

She didn't hear the frantic yell of her father, "RYA!"

Nor did she notice the satisfied smirk on the nin's face who had thrown the kunai to her mother.

Only her bloody tired mother who jumped in between the kunai to save her daughter. Her weak daughter who was worthless.

Her fault.

"I love you, my little princess." Her mother spoke softly, pouring her love in those words. With that she fell on the ground.

Thud! All her fault!

Everything was spinning around her.

Weak.

Her breathing was getting heavier and heavier by the second.

A failure.

Her wide eyes were stinging, tears rolling down. A painful ache was making its way up her eyes.

All her fault her mother got hurt.

She wanted to rub it but she couldn't move her body, let alone her hands.

Or worse… dead.

Her breath hitched in her throat and she quickly crouched next to her mother. She didn't care that the man was walking in a confident matter towards her, ready to kill the second Uchiha, a savage grin on his face. "Kaa-chan! Wake up!Kaa-chan!" Obito yelled loudly, shaking her mother roughly but she didn't notice it.

"Kaa-chan, wake up!" She yelled again but got no answers.

Her mother was dead. DEAD. Her mother would never smile again. Her mother would never read her stories and tuck her in bed. Her mother would never train her. Her mother would never play with her or pick pretty flowers with her. Her mother would never tickle her every time she hid something from her. Her mother would never kiss her.

Her mother would never come back.

Deaddeaddeaddead!

Her breathing was becoming harder and harder, her eyes were aching even more.

All your fault! Her mind repeated continuously, every time she would flinch as the voice got louder by the minute. As would the ache in her eyes until she felt as if it was on fire. It was as if her eyes were being cooked. She pushed hard against her eyes, trying to fight the pain off but it didn't work. A sticky substance was mixing with her salty tears, making her fists dirty.

"AAAAH! Make it stop!" She cried out as she was clawing her eyes out.

"It hurts!" She whimpered as the pain got so heavy that she crumbled pitifully on the floor.

"Heh. I'll take away your pain, little princess." The man mocked her, using her mother's last words to her. He was stamping on those sacred words of her as if it was rubbish. Garbage, that you could throw on the ground and spit on it.

Something snapped inside of her, a monster that was fighting wildly against the weakened cage that got loose. She stopped clawing her eyes out as she looked up at the monster who took her mother from her. Standing up, she glared venomously at him, wanting to burn his eyes off. The pain in her eyes was subduing and she relished in the fact that she could see without the pain.

The man's eyes widened enormously, taking fearful steps back as he looked at her. "M-monster. S-stay a-away from me!"

Obito grinned madly at him, her eye lashes full of blood splotches, her tears stained with whatever it was. "I'm the monster?" She asked innocently as she walked forwards. "You killed my mother and now I'll kill you."

A new power was flowing through her veins, making her feel like she could handle anything. "An eye for an eye~" She sung cutely.

"A life for a life." She whispered darkly, a crazy grin on her face as she lifted her index finger towards the man. "Die."

Just like that black fire sprung to life, engulfing the shrieking man who was trying to douse the fire off but that wasn't working. The fire was burning him alive, making him scream louder and louder. She didn't notice the fighting that was stopped in favour of watching the horrible scene that was caused by a little girl. The black fire seemed to vanish into thin air leaving nothing behind, not even the ashes of the burnt corpse, only a disgusting smell that made Obito laugh like a lunatic as she repeated those same words over and over.

"A life for a life~" And then she fainted, tears still flowing down.
