This time, as you will probably guess, another two years had passed. The two years had moved at a more reasonable pace, well, more like rather slow due to the fact that Sakura was starting to grow up. Sadly, this meant she was gradually growing away from Obito something he knew would eventually happen and in fact the inevitable had been pretty prolonged as he had expected Sakura to stop seeing him years ago. But now, after six years there time together would soon end. Soon, Sakura would not hear, nor see Obito anymore…the thought left a hollow, empty aching in his un-beating heart…

Not only was Sakura beginning to lose her childhood connection with Obito, she was beginning to grow up in other ways too. It had started with a simple day or so at first. She couldn't make his training session due to an extra lesson at the academy he had recommended her taking. Then it was two to four days where she had something to do with Ino…Until it was basically a whole week of her time was occupied from training with the academy, to keeping up with her social life (which Obito had helped her to gain by making her more confident and easy going) having to help her mother make deliveries and to carry out her household chores which her mother set.

She barely spent any time with him anymore and when she did it was usually no longer than an hour as she was afraid someone would see her talking to someone that she had started to believe wasn't real…Oh sure she had never said so, she didn't have to; it was written all over her face. Obito would look at his pink haired friend who would be biting on her bottom lip and fiddling with the hem of her dress awkwardly. It saddened him to see her so unsure of him now…

Of course, in theory he should have been glad that she was finding a true life of her own, after all it was him that had helped her grow into a more confident girl with a slightly more controlled temper which she would not have had without his guidance. He kept telling himself that he should have been proud to have been her best friend whilst she'd gone through those steps.

He knew this would happen. He knew this day would come. He knew it all…

So why was it whenever she spared a moment to tell him how she was or how she was doing at the academy or hell just a simple hello! That he felt hurt, disappointed and maybe even just a little peeved when her eyes lost focus of him and she asked "Are you still there Obito?" her eyes squinting, her head turning to look for him in a confused manner.

Or in other cases Obito would be saying something and she would nod and smile…then he would sigh and repeat himself before she'd admit, "I'm sorry I didn't quite catch that. Can you say it again please?"

They were obviously losing the connection between them…slowly but surely…Obito was losing Sakura Haruno.

And he had no control over it.

It was something he would have to get used to, unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about it after all. He was a dead. A ghost. What could he do? He was gradually fading from her sight and hearing and very soon she'd lose her ability to interact with him altogether. At the rate that he was fading from her knowledge, Obito estimated he had – at most – two months left before he disappeared from her awareness completely. On the other hand however, nothing about this ghost thing was straight forward…therefore it was quite possible that Sakura would stop seeing and hearing him tomorrow. Tomorrow. Next week. Next month. Two months. Who knew? One thing was for certain, it was going to happen sooner rather than later. The idea of being alone again, frankly, it just plain sucked! He had known all along it was coming but now he found the actual breaking hard to bear…

The worst thing though, was knowing that when Sakura finally could not see or hear him…she would most likely not miss him. She was twelve after all, she had friends and she was going to graduate to genin level soon, she'd have her own teammates…she didn't need an 'imaginary friend' anymore…

That. That was what stung the most.

Even though he knew it would happen and even though he was truly proud and happy for her. She was blossoming into a young woman right before his eyes, how could he not be proud and happy for her as she found her feet in life? Not to mention, he was pleased that he could have been a part of that with her, pleased he was able to help…

But…

It still stung.

These days he spent more time with Kakashi with lack of anything better to do. Sometimes he pondered the 'could-have-beens' if he'd been alive as he sat on the memorial stone pretending that Kakashi was looking and talking to him properly. Then on other days he would lay flat out on his back in one of the nearby fields on looking Konoha, the long grass dancing around him as the breeze moved them, gazing up at the blue sky whilst day dreaming of anything and everything. The weirdest one to date was one where Minato sensei became the yellow-man-shaped electricity and saved a red nine tailed vixen from hunters then married her before the two had a cub together, who they called the nine-tailed-yellow-fox/electricity-pup-hybrid Naruto who turned the world into a bowel of ramen and ate it...

There were times when he thought about seeking out Sakura. Although the thought was tempting, Obito decided against it as he didn't want to interrupt or interfere with her life as she seemed to be doing just fine by herself, even though he missed Sakura he still wanted to do what was best for her. Besides, part of Obito believed it would make the inevitable separation between them easier to bear if he started to distance himself from her…at the moment, it didn't seem to be helping.

For the moment she would still visit him occasionally, she also knew that if she needed him all she would have to do was go look in his usual hang outs (she knew them all) and he would always be there for her; until he was properly dead to the pink haired girl.

Today was yet another boring day where he had decided to walk around Konoha. The Uchiha ghost was half hoping to find out what all the fuss had been during the night. All the jounin had been quite worked up so whatever it was must have been relatively serious...with all their rapid rushing about it had not been exactly easy to catch snippets of disjointed conversations or updates on whatever was going on. All Obito managed to piece together in fact was, "That boy-Scroll-Third-Traitor."

Which really wasn't all too helpful or relaxing to hear as 'That boy' usually meant Naruto. It was doubtful that the jounin meant someone else in any case. Obito had noted earlier in the day that Naruto had painted the Hokage monument and, honestly, he'd found it hilarious! He wondered if maybe that was what all the hullaballoo was about, even though you would think they'd be used to it after the stunts the blonde boy's mother used to pull…but then again, the things Kushina used to do were almost tame in comparison to her son!

Then there was the word 'scroll' Obito had picked up from the weird disjointed dialogue. But then, Obito wondered incredulously, could Naruto have taken a secret scroll of some kind? Really? And then there was the word 'third' which could indicate the Third Hokage? That couldn't be right! Naruto was a mischievous little bugger but Obito thought it unlikely that the blonde boy could have snuck passed the Hokage and stolen a top secret scroll. The word 'traitor' was one of the most worrying statements…perhaps Naruto had somehow managed to steal a top secret scroll, which of course would brand him a traitor…No.

No way! There must be some sort of mistake! Naruto? A traitor? Puh-lease! Obito reasoned that yes, the kid was a loud mouth, and yes he got up to tricks and got into trouble but a traitor? It didn't make any sense! The kid wanted to be Hokage for goodness sake! Heh little mini sensei wanting to be Hokage, Minato sensei and Kushina would be proud...

Obito would have to find out what was really going on. Worry for his sensei and Kushina's son was too overwhelming, not to mention, Obito liked the kid! He has spunk! While hurrying along the street Obito decided there would have been far more uproar if Naruto had been in that kind of trouble.

Still, best find out what the hell was going on!

He walked into the Hokage's tower where he found the old man about to debrief a few jounin. Obito mentally patted himself on the back for making it just in time as when he entered the Third spoke,

"The events of last night are not to be spoken to anyone. Mizuki broke the law and revealed to Naruto about his tenant after tricking him into stealing a scroll that contained over a thousand forbidden jutsu one of which he learned. The shadow clone jutsu."

Obito clenched a fist and gritted his teeth, cursing Mizuki under his breath whilst hoping the guy rotted in a stone cold cell for the rest of his life for doing that to Naruto. Sure the blonde twelve year old wasn't the brightest bulb in the box but he didn't deserve all that crap being shovelled onto him for something he couldn't help...Well, at least, on the up side…Naruto had learned shadow clone jutsu! That was pretty awesome! Yet, still feeling a bit pissed, Obito glared around the room in general, fuming from head to ghostly toe…that Mizuki guy was so lucky the angry Uchiha ghost wasn't alive right now…Kakashi twitched, bringing his hand up to rub at his covered eye as it for some unknown reason to him it felt irritated…the jounin remained quiet and shared looks with some of the other ninja as the Third continued,

"That is all. Those of you not taking a genin team under training may continue your duties."

With that half of the jounin departed. Kakashi, however, stayed but looked almost disgruntled that he had to. Well, Obito thought so as he had been around the jounin enough to tell the emotion in his eye easily. The other ninja in the room, they probably didn't notice any change.

Obito, suddenly putting two and two together exclaimed,

"Hey! You're getting a genin team?" pointing an accusing finger at his old teammate who sat, oblivious to the shouting of his dead comrade. Kakashi rubbed his covered eye…

Obito stood looking at his old friend, thinking Kakashi should be pleased at having a chance to take mini sensei under his wing…or unless he was that deep in his guilt he couldn't bare looking at Naruto as he was practically the clone of his father…that might explain why Kakashi had not made any connection to the boy after all these years…

Huh, the mind boggles…

Obito crossed his arms and moved closer to the silver haired scarecrow, looking at him thoughtfully. Kakashi listened to numerous senseis discuss (two being Asuma and Kurenai who were standing close to one another…not surprisingly) which students they wanted for a total of two seconds before he pulled out his book and began to read…

Obito poked his tongue out and decided Kakashi was just an ass like he always has been; Kakashi discreetly rubbed his hidden eye again, frowning as he wondered what was wrong with it, his eye was covered so he couldn't get anything in it; so why was it feeling so irritated…looking at Kakashi's frowning face made Obito grin,

Yeah it better itch that's what he gets for not taking an interest in mini sensei's future!

Obito thought to himself as the teams were decided. After some time, the new genin teams were called out, giving new three man squads to the waiting jounin. Finally, after some time (Obito was currently sitting on the floor, his back against the wall, his chin resting on his hand, his elbow on his knee) The Third cleared his throat and said to Kakashi,

"Then it has been decided, Team seven will consist of Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura with Hatake Kakashi as their sensei."

Obito's jaw dropped of its own accord. Leaping up he exclaimed,

"No freaking way! How in the- why in the- just-" he groaned, before continuing in a disbelieving tone, "That's typical. Not only do you get mini sensei, you get my lil cousin as well as my pink haired friend. How is that fair? Man Kakashi! The Hokage spoils you!"

Then he paused and started laughing, "There team work, it's gonna suck! Ah ha! Oh good luck to you buddy you're gonna need it! Oh, and let me tell you the relationships between those three is gonna cause you no end of trouble, I can guarantee! Naruto has a thing for Sakura, Sakura has an unfortunate but ma-hoo-sive crush on Sasuke! And - hey! Are you even listening?"

Kakashi had subtly rubbed his eye – again – getting more annoyed, what was wrong with the stupid thing? It continued to twitch and itch away…Obito sighed waving a dismissive hand,

"Ah whatever! You'll find out soon enough. Right. Try not to be too late in meeting them, use one of my excuses and play nice with the other kid's etcetera etcetera and I'll catch you guys later."

And with that Obito turned and walked straight through the wall out of the Hokage office. To save time he stepped out of the building to float his way down to the streets below, he felt himself being blown seamlessly in the wind, departing the Hokage tower in an almost graceful matter. He chuckled to himself - this sort of thing never grew old! Haha!

Once reaching the ground Obito resumed his walking around town trying to pass some time until Kakashi would finally turn up and meet his new students. Well at least he hoped they would pass Kakashi's expectations and manage to become his students…with the track record of previous pupils Kakashi had had under his wing for a short time, with the number of failures there had been, it didn't seem likely the one eyed scarecrow would pass them into fully fledged genin. But hey, who knows with a mini sensei on his team, one of the last Uchiha (as much as Obito tried not to admit it, he had to grudgingly acknowledge that Sasuke was talented and did show promise in his ninja skills…even if his little cousin was an arrogant, self-observed little shit...) and Sakura who was not that bad a ninja after the six years of training she had received from her 'imaginary friend'…who knows maybe Kakashi would see their potential and start working and building with their skills or at least melt enough to accept them…

Obito didn't know how long he'd been walking exactly - so engrossed in his thoughts he was - but one moment he was minding his own business, strolling down the street in his ghostly form his eyes on the ground not really seeing anything as he pondered the teams that had been newly formed…when the next thing he knew he was smacking into a pole,

"Ouch!"

Ow! That bloody hurt! Rubbing his forehead instinctively before he suddenly paused the motion…oh hello what was that!

He smacked into something…and it hurt! It actually hurt! Pain! Real, aching, sweet pain! He could feel. He felt alive, truly alive for the first time in years!

He was breathing…Breathing! He hadn't breathed since…and was that – was that a heartbeat? A pulse!

…Sweet mother of Kami he was alive again!

His eyes widened as he poked his arm marvelling at the healthy warm flesh. He pinched gently at the appendage revelling in the sensation that came with feeling. It felt amazing and in a strange way a little weird to feel the warm, solid, blood filled skin beneath his touch instead of the translucent flyaway ghostly form he had become accustomed to.

He grinned widely unable to explain how this had happened…

"Shikamaru! Are you even listening to me? What are you doing?"

Looking to his right Obito saw the Yamanka girl eyeing him oddly…hey wait, did she say Shikamaru?

Obito turned to his left to stare at his reflection in the shop window. To his slight disappointment but admittedly not really to his surprise Obito did not see himself staring back but instead the Nara boy; he raised a hand as did Shikamaru.

So…I guess…I've…possessed this body, somehow? Huh…weird…Obito thought to himself, lowering Shikamaru's arm as he did so, while the Yamanaka girl prattled on in the background,

"I mean, first I find out I have to be on the same team as you and chouji - not that it's much of a surprise! And then Chouji runs off over there," She motioned with her hand, "To stuff his face and then you space out I mean for goodness sake…"

She continued, talking more to herself as Obito stood staring at the wide eyed and frankly far more lively looking Nara boy in the reflection of the shop window…Well this really was odd! To Obito's knowledge he'd never been able to possess people before…actually, come to think of it he hadn't really tried! The thought hadn't really occurred to him…the grin was still firmly planted on his borrowed face as this whole possessing thing really started to create some fun ideas in his mind…he could enjoy life for just a few moments then return to his proper state…Surely, that couldn't hurt anyone!

He swore he heard a faint voice at the back of his mind mutter the word 'Troublesome' bemusedly, a sort of echo in his, no, Shikamaru's head. Obito dismissed it quickly, too caught up in the bright, alive, emotions he felt which were being reflected in Shikamaru's face. He turned to Ino,

"You're talking to me right!"

He asked excitedly, Shikamaru's voice coming from his borrowed lips. Ino stopped mid rant, raising a neatly plucked eyebrow and stepping back warily,

"Yeah..? What's gotten into you! Asuma sensei left barely five minutes ago after passing us and you look all happy and awake…you never look happy and awake! What's going on?"

Obito waved his arms, grinning from ear to ear,

"You hear me, you see me! Hey! Watch this, k? I'm gonna do a cartwheel! Watch and tell me what you think!"

With that he cart wheeled forwards before back flipping into a handstand and then walking on his hands towards a wide eyed and startled Ino before he pushed off into the air effortlessly landing back on his feet. He had his arms spread in a 'Ta-da!' motion for a perfect finish. The faint voice spoke again, still at the back of Obito's mind but this time a little louder and more prominent,

"What the hell is going on..?"

Obito ignored it even though he felt a weird sensation...as if something was trying to mentally push him out of Shikamaru's body…Obito kept his arms outspread as he shouted,

"So what do you think?"

Ino looked, well, the word surprised could hardly cover it…

"What do I think? I think you've gone nuts Shikamaru!"

Well, that was a bit disappointing! That move was awesome! But then…thinking about it…it was pretty out of character for Shikamaru…Bringing Shikamaru's arms to rest at his sides, Obito decided to try and act a little more like Shikamaru so as not to raise further suspicion…

He fell into the quiet, sleepy and somewhat lazy stance that Shikamaru usually portrayed. Plassing his hands in his pockets he made his expression a bored one while he tried to figure out how to get out of this body,

"I'm just hyped up from all the coffee I drank this morning…and with stuff at home like feeding the deer, you know how it is. One minute you're fine then BAM you gotta cut loose…"

Ino still didn't look convinced…He slouched forward with a sigh and murmured,

"What a drag."

That did the trick…she was now yelling at him for acting weird, heh, women…Obito was surprised to find, interestingly enough, that he could rummage through Shikamaru's memories if he wanted…

"Don't you dare…Don't you think it's time to give my body back? Or do I have to force you out?"

The voice spoke again inside Obito's mind, this time it was much louder and stronger and maybe even a little pissed off..?

Obito felt that same pushing feeling, it was rather unpleasant to be honest, like Velcro being pulled away from material...the Uchiha ghost decided it probably was time to leave Shikamaru's body, he'd had his fun after all…there was just one problem…

How?

Obito walked to lean on a tree, crossing his arms and closing his eyes, trying to figure out how to leave the body. How hard could it be? He had accidentally walked into Shikamaru's unsuspecting body how difficult could it be to purposely walk out, right?

He breathed in - savouring probably the last breath of fresh air he'd take for a while - then out and concentrated on relaxing and letting go…

He cautiously opened an eye…nope. Still attached to the body! And now he felt sleepy. Wow, sleepy…he hadn't felt sleepy for a long time! As a ghost, you don't sleep…you don't need to…Currently Chouji had returned now munching on a bag of crisps, Ino was telling him off…

Frustrated Obito turned and kicked the tree before slumping down, trying to ignore the slight throbbing pain he now had in his foot…damn, one thing was for certain, he hadn't missed pain since he had died…

This wasn't going well, he looked up at the clouds not paying any attention to Ino's talking and wondered if he'd make Team Seven's introductions…

The next thing he knew there was a cool shivery feeling running through his entire body as he all but flew forward and straight through a wall! He blinked rapidly, eyes wide with surprise before poking his head back out of the wall to see Shikamaru looking around suspiciously whilst Ino and Chouji still argued. Obito rubbed his head,

"Huh guess I'm free again."

Shikamaru turned to his two teammates who paused to stare at him questionably. He said seriously, whilst rubbing the back of his neck,

"I have no idea what just happened."

Obito laughed,

"You just gave a friendly neighbourhood ghost a new lease on life, my thanks to you!" He saluted and bowed his thanks before glancing at the shadow of the tree, trying to judge the time based on the sun's position.

"…Aw crap I'm gonna miss it!"

He took off towards the academy hoping he wouldn't be late; he'd have all the time in the world to watch Team Seven in the future but the very first meeting was a once in a lifetime event he could not miss! He charged into the academy running through the wall right into the classroom. He had hoped to find them…only they weren't there. Obito sighed,

"Once in a lifetime. And I miss it. There is nothing that could EVER make up for this." He started to float upwards through the ceiling, raising an eyebrow whilst still pouting sulkily, his arms crossed,

"Pretty cool but still doesn't make it better..."

He continued to go up not bothering to stop himself as Kakashi was probably testing the genin right then and he was missing it…

Whoa! Wait, again?

Obito had his eyes closed suddenly, the living sensation swept over him for the second time that day. Wow, twice in one day! What the hell? He didn't even know he could possess people before today and now he'd done it twice!

There was a voice that exclaimed somewhere within his mind,

'Hey! What's going on!'

That was weird, that voice sounded oddly a lot like Sasuke…Obito unclenched the hands under his chin and looked to his right to see Sakura and Naruto sat by him…and Kakashi was ahead of him by the feel of the chakra. He looked forward and sure enough the jounin sat looking levelly at the team; a twitch of annoyance occurred inside Obito at his old teammate's expression. Kakashi seriously had no idea of fun! How could he not be the littlest bit interested…oh, wait, there it is. There was a glimmer of curiosity in his lone eye and now he was talking,

"Me? My name is Kakashi Hatake, I have many hobbies, likes and dislikes I don't really feel like telling you that…And dreams for the future…never really thought about."

Obito almost face palmed. That was such a Kakashi answer! And evidently his students weren't impressed either as Sakura whispered crossly, "All we learnt was his name."

The angry voice inside his head informed him, 'She's right…But that doesn't matter, I have to get back control of MY body from this…this…thing that's controlling me!'

Obito guessed it was Sasuke (process of elimination and all that…plus he'd recognise that voice anywhere!) he bristled at the 'thing' remark,

"I'm not a thing you twerp!"

'Who said that? Tell me who you are!'

"Wouldn't you like to know? Besides…a please wouldn't kill you."

He must have missed Naruto and Sakura's introductions whilst talking to Sasuke as Kakashi indicated him to speak,

"All right, your go."

Being put on the spot and not knowing what else to say Obito was unable to stop himself as he replied,

"Yo! My names Sasuke Uchiha I have no friends, I am a huge emo and proud of it plus, news flash! I love my attitude problem!"

They stared at Obito - no wait - they stared at Sasuke in silence. Obito blinked as he sat under the staring eyes of Sasuke's new teammates and sensei. So, Obito coughed awkwardly before saying,

"That was out loud wasn't it?"

Kakashi nodded mutely. Obito whistled lowly, looking down, his eyes shifty,

"Awkward."

'GET OUT OF MY BODY!'

"Get out of my head!"

Naruto whispered to Sakura loudly, "You know if I didn't know any better I'd say he looks kinda lively and dare I say it, happy?"

Sakura's first impulse was to hit him but she couldn't disagree there was a definite spark in Sasuke's features that had basically never been seen on the Uchiha's face before. Despite this there was something oddly familiar about the expression on the astute Uchiha's features…It was, admittedly, lovely to see but at the same time utterly surprising from the shear suddenness of the change. It was actually kind of scary if she was being perfectly honest but since it was Sasuke he could do no wrong in her rose tinted world.

'It's my head! My body! You leave!'

"Pushy much?"

'Leave!'

There it was! That feeling of Velcro being pulled away from fabric! His little cousin was obviously trying to be rid of him, mentally pushing Obito out of his body. Obito had been expecting it this time as this whole possessing thing was beginning to make sense to him...although he hadn't expected that 'pushing' sensation to be quite as strong as that! He had to literally cling on with every mental power he possessed to stop from all but toppling out of the Sasuke's body!

A thought then suddenly occurred to Obito…if he left - for now - Sasuke would be left looking like a mad man and this could work in his favour…He didn't care what Kakashi and Naruto thought but if there was the slightest chance Sakura might be put off by mental instability (not that he wanted to change her mind about Sasuke no of course not!) well all the better!

Obito wasn't really sure why he wanted Sakura to stop crushing on his cousin…he decided to put it down to all those years he had to hear her talk lovingly about him! That was enough to sicken anyone…right?

...And if Obito just happened to nose through a few memories of how to do a few jutsu's he never learned when he was alive… hehehehe…Not that he could use them, but still! It would be interesting…

So he relaxed himself and tried stepping out and was so pleased with himself when he exited easily with the same shivery feeling lasting for a moment. He stepped back a big grin on his face. The lost feeling of living was totally worth it to see Sasuke's face.

The living Uchiha looked around, his head snapping back and forth looking for a mysterious assailant; Kakashi looked the mildest bit concerned whilst Sakura and Naruto just looked plain weirded out.

Sasuke's eyes flitted back and forth rapidly as he looked up and around him, his hands balled up into fists,

"I'm not sure what just happened…but I think someone just took over my body!"

They didn't answer him. Sasuke looked at them all in turn as he said seriously,

"Look I know it sounds crazy but I'm not joking! Someone just came inside me and took total control of my body!"

Kakashi raised an eyebrow,

"I see..."

Naruto surprisingly still hadn't said anything (probably wouldn't last long) Sasuke stated, slowly,

"Look." He motioned the air, "Someone just entered my body." He gestured to himself, "Took over everything completely!" And he waved a vague hand, "And left to who knows where!"

Silence was his answer before he exclaimed exasperatedly, "And none of you seem concerned by this?"

They were silent a moment longer before Naruto couldn't take it any longer and cracked up laughing like a mad man,

"You- You- Hahahaha! You're totally nuts Uchiha!"

Sakura kicked into gear then and smacked him on the head,

"Leave Sasuke-kun alone idiot!"

Obito rocked back on his feet, feeling quite pleased with himself, before walking towards Kakashi. If he could take over Shikamaru and Sasuke accidentally surely he could purposely just skim over Kakashi's thoughts for a little bit..? Leaning forward, Obito place his head – instead of his whole ghostly body – inside Kakashi's head…

Before he knew it he was in a stormy forest. Some trees were stood tall and dark, others were on fire and there were a whole load of black dead stumps around…

"Sheesh! So this is Kakashi's mind huh? Cheerful." He glanced over a few memories looking for his thoughts, the images of Kakashi's mind zooming past in blurred motions.

"Wow-ho that is juicy blackmail! I am so remembering that."

Obito's mind that was now linked to Kakashi's searched through the disjointed images of the man's mind until he came to the top of the tallest tree where there was a lightning cloud shocking the leaves on top. Obito listened carefully and was fascinated to hear Kakashi's surface thoughts zinging into the big tree,

'So I have to test a team that consists of Sensei's son the nine tailed Kyuubi container, a fan girl, and the last of the Uchiha that seems to have finally snapped. Great."

Obito decided he was getting tired of the dreary mind-set and concentrated on getting himself back out. The task left him feeling uneasy as he stood upright, clutching his stomach as he actually felt a little queasy, unusual for a ghost; definitely a first for him since he died. Opening his eyes he stood beside Kakashi again.

He told himself firmly, "I am never to going to mind walk like that again."

Sakura finally noticed his presence waving discreetly at him. He grinned, pleased, that she had noticed him.

He tried to listen as Kakashi explained the pass and fail rate of newly graduated genins. However, now that he had discovered he could possess people he found he got distracted easily as he thought of all the possibilities it meant. Like for one he was totally borrowing Sasuke's body on a regular basis! And it could be quite handy if anyone was in danger and they didn't know Obito could possess someone and move them out of the way or defend them quicker. Plus it could also be a lot of fun. And anyway he would always relinquish control so no harm no foul.

The idea of borrowing Naruto's body crossed his mind but somehow he couldn't see it working very well since Naruto already had a full time tenant taking up the rent space. It could possibly be quite dangerous for Obito too as the Kyuubi's powers were great. It would not surprise him if he became trapped inside Naruto permanently, and without the kid even knowing it!

Temporarily being in Sakura's body had been thought of as well but she was his friend and a girl. He had nothing against girls it was just he would prefer to be a boy if he was to feel alive for even a few moments.

Currently Kakashi announced that tomorrow Team Seven would have a survival training test (AKA the bell test) Obito grinned to himself. The perfect test drive for this possessing thing!

Oh it was going to be fun!
