There is only one thing I really need to say about this chapter:

Long Hair!Obito.

Fight me.

As we headed down the path, deciding that taking the trees would strain me after my journey towards temporary death, Naruto pointed in the direction we were headed in, "Huh? Who's that?" He then proceed to forget what a potential ambush looked like and ran towards them.

I heard Sasuke sigh. "Idiot."

I just ran after him skimming the surrounds with my hand on my tachi, with the crack in it I know I can still use it, ready for the potential ambush. As I stopped near Naruto who was shaking the person on the ground I took in the appearance of them, long black hair that stuck up in different places was wrapped up in bandages in a long ponytail, build might be male, and an almost familiar set of deep blue- possibly purple- robes. Hmm, interesting.

Hearing the the groan from the guy on the ground, I immediately did a quick sweep for protection enemies as Sasuke and Kashi came to step up to us.

"Hey, Hey are you okay?" Naruto asked helping the guy sit up. The guy looked up giving us an eye fall of a mask.

A orange mask.

An orange swirl mask.

A familiar orange swirl mask.

I had to to force myself not to facepalm though I'm pretty sure my expression says I want to.

The mask wearing idiot tilted head to the side, "Eh? Tobi is fine." He then proceed to look at each of us as if in confusion. "Tobi was just looking for a three tailed flower, but Tobi must of gotten lost."

'Three-tailed flower? Ah. The code word we settled on, so that confirms that it's my Obi without a doubt.'

I watched Naruto look at him confused. "A three tailed flower?"

"Yup, yup! Tobi thought he saw one a few years ago, but it was missing its tails."

I started to translate subconsciously what Obi was saying, 'So he showed up in this world a few years before I did, and figured out the me that was here currently wasn't the me he knew.'

Poor Naruto looked even more confused than before "But flowers don't have tails, so that must mean you're trying to trick us!" He quickly stumbled to his feet and held up a kunai ready to fight.

Obi started to wave his hands and shake his head panicly. "Tobi isn't tricking anyone! Tobi is a good boy!"

This time I really did facepalm. "Okay, enough of this." I put a hand on Naruto's shoulder. "Naruto, don't kill my idiot of a brother."

"Wait I thought Sakura was your only sibling." Ah there's our resident Uchiha was wondering when he would speak up.

"She is."

"But you just said-"

I sighed. "Obi isn't related to me, after I met him I started calling him that." I looked at Obi who was perked up. Oh no he's still in 'Tobi' mode.

"Flower-chan!"

I didn't even bother to stop the warning growl that slipped out. "Knock it off!"

He flinched and laughed nervously. "K-knock what off? Tobi is Tobi."

I made to raise my arm and hit him when a spike of pain shot through my arm and the muscles tensed up, I flinched and grabbed my arm. Okay ow. Pain, not fun. Though that seemed to have snapped Obi from his acting because in the next moment he was holding my arm and rubbing the spot I grabbed slowly with his thumb.

"What happened? Why did you flinch like that? Why is it bruised?" He immediately started to question.

I rolled my eyes. "Nothing happened, I'm fine we just had one hell of a first C-rank is all."

"Yeah, Yeah The mission ended up being an A-rank because there were Missing nin. Iris-chan ended up getting hit with senbon and we thought she died and-"

"Naruto shut up!" I quickly cut him off as I saw Obi's sharingan flash and spin, in the corner of my eye I noticed Kashi grab his own as if in pain. "Obi relax I'm fine. Everything was taken care of and I'm alive."

I could hear him taking deep breaths trying to remain calm, his chakra was twitching a lot but it smoothed back down as his other hand touched my face.

I could still see the worry though the eye hole, "I'm fine." He sighed and stood up and looked at my team. I looked at them too and I realized there chakra was twitching much like it was the first hour after we left Wave.

I also realized Obi noticed the same thing and I could feel him smirking behind his mask.

He placed an arm around my shoulders. "So, your Iris' team, why don't you introduce yourselves?"

Three spikes of irritation from the idiots I call a team.

"It's only polite to give your own name before asking for someone else's" Sasuke said switching between glaring at Obi and the arm around my shoulders.

"You don't have clearance to know my name," Obi said and then held a hand when Naruto went to speak -probably yell- and finished. "You guys can call me Tobi until then."

Sasuke's eyes widened at the name and glanced over to me with a silent question and I nodded once. He looked back at Obi obviously wanting to ask himself but holding back.

"I'm assuming you're on your way back to the village now, right? Well I'll join you on that." I yelped and grabbed on to him when he suddenly picked me up in a princess carry. "We'll being going on ahead then." He then took to the trees ignoring the yelling and sputtering Naruto.

I waited a moment watching as the trees passed us in silence before sighing, "So, how long have you been back?"

"Just after the massacre happened. I came to see you when there wasn't a bunch of ANBU hanging around, but I figured out you hadn't made it back when you didn't react like I knew you would to my presence."

I stared at his mask. "You did what now?"

He winced, "Okay I know it was a stupid move-"

"No, no, no, that wasn't a stupid move that was a Naruto-stupid move." I moved my arms to rest in my lap and turned my face into his shoulder. "How bad of a reaction did I have? I don't remember meeting you prior to now. Actually, now that I think about it I'm not to sure what was going other than I was back in my younger body before Saku reminded me of the academy."

"For your reaction, you stared at me with the most deadpan look ever and said 'Fuck my life' then walked away. Glad to see you at eight isn't different than you at twenty." I rolled my eyes and watched from the corner of my eye as he looked down at me, "I had the same problem with my memory. I guess the seal had a few side effects to it."

"It was untested, I just was expecting what it did do."

I felt him tense up and tighten his hold on me. "What happened."

"Calm down, it's nothing bad. Just small things like my sensor abilities being as strong as they were before we came here, my canines that came from signing the contract, Isobu-kun being two places at once." I had to force down the smirk that tried to pop up on my face when Obi almost fell off the branch.

"W-what?" he stuttered out once there wasn't a fear of falling again and stared at me.

"Yeeeaah, since we were working on a form of sage training before all this happened our chakra mixed with each other. Apparently that connection that formed during training carried over with me, but I can't use any of his chakra in a sense." I explained and did a quick sweep out of habit.

"'In a sense'?"

I nodded, "I can tap into his chakra like I use to, but this body isn't use to that much chakra being there or use to the chakra itself. I've already had one scare with it when I got chakra sickness, since I don't have the seal anymore to hold it the corrosive chakra ate my chakra while trying to refill at the same time."

Tell him I said 'Hi'

You are adorable

E-eh?

"He says hi by the way."

"Don't change the subject! You were sick?!" I could feel the worry rolling off of him by the bucket load. "Are your chakra coils okay?! Can you even still use chakra?! Is that why you guys aren't taking the trees home?! What if you have chakra poisoning and its slow killing you?! Or What if-" He was hyperventilating badly.

I grabbed his mask and pushed it up so I could see his face, "Obi-nii breath. In through your nose out through your mouth, you need to calm down before you trigger one of your panic attacks."

While he calmed himself down I looked his face over, deep scars on the side of his face, he didn't have his sharingan active so it was back to black with a small power draw from it (if it wasn't for the fact Saku would catch me in random genjutsu all the time the pull would have hypnotized me to it), his other eye had the Rinnegan- pretty standard purple ringed, he was slightly pale but that was more from his almost panic attack. It was odd to see him look a bit younger...than...before….Wait a minute.

I stared blankly at Obi's eye, there was no way he could have that. Madara took his back during the war and when we left he didn't even have a second eye.

"I guess the seal didn't just bring Isobu with us." I blinked realizing Obi was calmer than he was before.

"The only problem with that is I had Isobu-kun sealed in me when we left, you didn't have that when we left."

"I didn't but I do have the Shodai Hokage's cells. That's how Madara got his, even if it took years to manifest." He explained.

"Why only one eye though? Didn't Madara have it in both of his. Also how did you even get a second eye?"

"I'm not sure why it's only one eye, I think it might be because that was where it was originally. As for how I have a second eye, I had it implanted after I got back since I had a….source of them." He finished off glaring straight ahead.

I wrinkled my nose. "I forgot about Danzo." I sighed, "To be completely honest I forgot that we would have to fight more than a piece of overgrown evil lettuce."

"Danzo, Orochimaru, Kabuto, and Zetsu. We really have our work cut out for us."

"You forgot to add the Akatsuki to that list."

He shook his head looked down at me with a smirk, "I have my own plans for them."

I narrowed my eyes. "Should I be worried?"

"Well since I'm not you-"I smacked his chest with a glare and he laughed in response. "Don't worry, this should help us and it'll be right under Zetsu's nose too."

"Nice." I looked over his shoulder and could just make out two specks following, One was orange and the other was silvery? Oh boy. Guess Kashi must of grabbed Sasuke and made Naruto follow them. "Well we have company. Oh and you need to have a talk with Sasuke and Kashi."

This time he narrowed his eyes, "Why do I need to talk to Sasuke?"

"Weellll-"

"What did you do Iris."

I winced, "Well you see I may have mentioned to Sasuke that he wasn't the last Uchiha."

"Iris…"

"I was trying to keep him loyal! Orochimaru is showing up soon, after Saku got back from her first C-rank the Chunin exams started soon 's where everything started going downhill, if I can get him loyal to the team he'll be less likely to give in to the mark and this world's Orochimaru will be set back some." I whined and looked at him puppy eyes fully active. "Just talk to him pleeeeeease?"

He looked away with a groan. "Fine! I'll talk to Sasuke." I grinned and waited for him to continue, but when he didn't I stared at him. He stared ahead. I kept staring to him. He twitched but refused to meet my eyes. I raised an eyebrow. He twitched again.

"You're going to have to talk to him."

"No I don't."

"He misses you."

"So?"

"You never got to fully get to know him the first time around, and now you can get a head start."

"And?"

"And it would be good for him to know the real truth behind what really happened."

"He'll find out later."

"But by finding out sooner he might finally come to peace with it and stop beating himself up."

"It's not my fault he is."

"Actually it is since you made him promise. Now stop acting like a stubborn two year old."

"I don't wanna talk to him!" he whined finally looking at me and pouting.

"I don't care if you don't want to, you are or I'm giving you a therapy session." I said suddenly feeling my age. I'm really getting too old for this shit.

He snorted looking at me with a smug look that only an Uchiha could pull off. "Only one problem, you don't have the papers that say you can hold a therapy session!"

I let him have his moment before grinning at him, "Oh but that is where you are wrong Obi." The smug look vanished and was replaced with a wary expression. "The papers are for if I want to charge people, so as long as I don't charge you I can hold one. Inoichi-san confirmed that for me when he gave me the papers."

He stared at me blankly and sighed in defeat. "Fine. Just fine. If it gets me out of that bloodbath, I'll talk to him."

"My therapy sessions are not that bad." I mumbled with a pout.

"Not that bad my ass. You literally take the most traumatizing thing and rip the scar open, do you not remember me almost killing you the first time you brought up Rin's death?"

I waved my hand dismissively, "Yet now you can think about it without falling into a depressive slump or murderous rampage."

Before he could respond another voice cut in. "Iris-chan!"

I pulled Obi's mask down just as he landed on the ground and let me down from his arms. I turned to face Naruto only for him to tackle into me, he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me away from Obi.

"Stay away from Iris-chan!" Naruto shouted and I winced at the fact it was right next to my ear.

"Naruto calm down."

"But Iris-chan…" He looked at me worriedly.

"No buts, besides." I looked over my shoulder at the main gate to the village, "It cut down a lot of travel time."

"Would've cut down on more but I figured using Kamui without all of you would make Iris mad." Obi cut in before holding up his hands when Sasuke appeared next to me and glared at him.

He looked me over as if trying to find an injury, "Iris, are you okay? He didn't do anything did he?"

I rolled my eyes at him and gave him a 'are you kidding me right now?' look. He glared back and I stuck my tongue out at him. "He didn't do anything, we were just catching up a bit since I haven't seen him since I was like eight." I grabbed his hand and wiggled a bit to get Naruto to let me free of his arms before grabbing his hand. "Since we're back, Obi and Kashi can have their talk and get clearance and we can go get ramen. I think we deserve that much after that trainwreck of a mission."

Naruto let out a happy cheer over the ramen comment while Sasuke sighed but didn't say anything against it.

Obi made a distressed noise. "Why do I have to talk to him now?"

I looked him is the eye hole of his mask, "Therapy. Session." He groaned and then walked over to where Kashi had been standing this whole time watching everything from over his book. I'm almost positive by his chakra that Obi made a face at the book. He never really did believe those rumors about Kashi reading them.

Kashi put on his best eye smile, "Oh? Why would talking to me be so bad?"

Seeing Kashi stiffen suddenly and the small drop in Obi's chakra told me he had activated his sharingan. "I'll answer that after we talk to the Hokage, Bakashi."

The last thing I saw before they vanished via Kamui was a pale wide eyed Kashi.

"Huh? Where did Kakashi-sensei and that weirdo go?" Naruto looked around as if he could find them. I sighed and started for the gate dragging him with me and Sasuke.

I side eyed Sasuke. "He has the Mangekyō Sharingan, Kamui is the ability he gets from it." Sasuke looked at me and I smiled, "Told you I wasn't lying." He squeezed my hand and I did the same to his.

Suddenly we were jerked forward by Naruto who hand started running and dragging us along, "Come on you two, ramen awaits!"

I rubbed my hair dry as I entered my room after a well deserved shower. Hot water does wonderful things for your muscles and after a mission like that this was well deserved. I closed my door, locked it, and activated the seals on it before sitting at my desk letting the towel sit on my shoulders.

Now for the fun part of coming back from a mission.

Mission reports.

I stretched and then grabbed a blank scroll and some basic ink. I started writing everything that had happened since we left the village up until we left Wave, I figured Kashi had already filled in the blanks for the time I was unconscious. Though knowing him he probably will wait until it's late to even start it. I signed it and left it open so the ink could dry out and leaned back in my chair.

"I doubt Kashi will be thinking of anything but the fact Obi is a alive, has been alive, and saw Rin die. Also add on the fact it was all a setup, and I thought my life between being reborn and time and dimensional traveling was complicated." I stood up to turn my light out and paused. "I doubt Kashi will let Obi out of his sight now that he knows. I need to remember to get the story from him incase I get questioned about."

I finished turning the lights out and burrowed under my covers and Fluffy Heaven™ and closed my eyes to go to sleep. I felt and sudden poke at my senses before feeling the familiar twist of air, I squirmed back deeper into Fluffy Heaven™ to make room. There was a sound of clothing moving and then the blanket was lifted up as a body shuffled in.

Once he was settled I moved closer and curled up next to him resting my head against his chest as he wrapped his arms around me resting his own head against mine.

"So have a fun talk?" I smirked at the groan I got in response.

"It was emotional as hell." He sighed and then added quietly, "Thank you for threatening therapy."

"Anytime Obi." I mumbled, "So how did you manage to get away? I wasn't actually expecting him to let you out of his sight."

"I told him I'd leave without telling him or you and not come back if he didn't let me leave, even after I told him over and over that I had a place to sleep."

"And when that didn't work?"

"Threatened his books. It helps that you told me where his stash is." I snickered at the fact I could hear Obi's smirk in his voice.

"So, why the long hair? Sorry to say this but you look like Madara with it." I felt him shrug.

"I figure if you can do it so can I. Besides I have your trick in case someone tries to use it against me in a fight."

"I remember you laughing at me over that trick."

"Well I was wrong."

We lapsed into silence until something popped into my head as I shifted closer to the warmth that was his body.

"Well this position reminds me of the cave." I said amused by the memory this position produced.

I could hear him roll his eyes "That was one of the worse nights sleep I ever got. And that was saying something given the fact we were in the middle of war."

"You only say that because you were sleeping on a sharp rock and refused to help clear out the small stones before hand." I mumbled relaxing.

He yawned, "You're the one who was laying on me.

"You offered, besides Orochi and Kabu were already cuddled up and I wasn't getting in the way of that."

He tightened his arms around me "You do know they only did that to stay warm and nothing else, right?"

I grunted and mumbled out "Whatever, goodnight Obi."

I felt him sigh and relax, "Night Iris."

"Iris-chan!" I let out a whine at the sudden loud noise that woke me from a good sleep.

"Damn brat is so loud." Obi complain burying deeper into the blankets hugging me tighter.

"That brat is the reason you're even here today." I muttered under my breath.

"Don't remind me." He sighed giving up on getting back to sleep and moved to look at our intruders. "I'm pretty sure Iris said you weren't training today."

"Obito?" I heard a surprised Kashi. " Why are you in Iris' bed? And where is she?"

I poked my head out from under Fluffy Heaven™ startling them and glared. "Iris is currently sleeping and would like her idiot teammates to get out." I whined out the last part while slipping back under the covers and plushes.

"Well I assume that answers one your questions, as for the other...because I can be." He yawned out moving back under the blanket.

"Grr, get away from Iris-chan you pervert!" Naruto growled out.

I could practically feel the smirk on Obi's face as he hugged me closer out of spite. "Hmm...Nope!"

I could feel the sudden drop in temperature that filled my room from under the covers and sighed. "I'm not going to get back to sleep, am I?"

I was apparently ignored.

I tried to ignore them, really I did but between Naruto shouting, Kashi trying to explain why grown men shouldn't be sharing a bed with a twelve year old, and the fact I could feel Sasuke glaring at him.

It's no wonder snapped really .

With a growl I elbowed Obi and then rolled over him when he let me go, throwing the blanket onto Naruto who spazzed out trying to get it off. Sasuke was the smart one of the group to jump back out the window they had come in from. Kashi flinched at the glare I had fixed on him.

"Now then. What in the hell do you guys want. Last time I checked, after a mission like that we are automatically given a break from training and missions regardless of rank."

Kashi cleared his throat, "Well I wanted to know if you-" He glanced at Naruto who had freed himself and followed Sasuke out after realizing Kashi was in trouble. Smart kid.

"If I what Kashi."

"If you wanted to sit in on water walking since you helped them with tree walking." He finished in a rush slightly backing up toward the snickering sound that was coming from the window.

I felt my eye twitch. "I'm not showing up until at least noon." He nodded, shot out the window, closed it, dragged the other away in one quick move..

I looked at the clock and blinked a few times to make sure I was seeing it right. Seven am. Wow Wave must of hit all of us hard.

"You know you remind me of Kushi-nee when she gets mad, right down to the hair flying behind you, only instead of nine sections it's three." Obi said stretching out like a cat.

I grumbled and dove back into bed.

Yes this is short compared to last chapter and I can warn you now next chapter will probably be filler and start of the Chunin exams...maybe...

Okay a few things I need to know.

Can someone tell me when Sasuke saved Karin in the forest? Was it before the curse seal or after? (I need to know this before the Forest of Death part)

What to do with the Akatsuki. (I was just BSing when Obito said he had a plan, I have no such plan ideas would be great.)

What Sai will call Iris. (this I don't need right away, I just can't think of anything and figured someone might be more creative than me)

Anything you want to know about Iris. (What I mean by this is stuff like favorite/least favorite food, who she would like to fight or meet regardless if they are alive or not, number of missions she's had done before RaTTLC started, etc.)
