Chapter 9

I don't own Naruto, just this plot.

Thanks for the nice reviews!

Naruto is sitting in the cave Obito showed her. This is just too confusing.

"Naruto," Obito says as he walks in, "are you ok?"

"Yep," she says, "why?"

"You are here instead of with your kids and friends," he says and walks next to her.

"Today Kai and Renji have school and I am ditching team training."

Obito sighs, "If you aren't doing anything then….."

She looks at him curiously, "then what?"

"We could do something," he says, why can't I just say date?!

"Are you asking me out on a date Obito?"

"If that is how you want to think about it, then yes," he says.

She is silent for a minute then says, "why not."

Obito is a bit shocked she said yes, "Follow me," he says and he leads her to an open field outside of Konoha and in a neutral zone for all of the villages.

"A picnic?" Naruto asks when she sees the food on a blanket in the field of flowers. How long have you been planning this Obito?

"Yes, I know you like to eat outside," he says as they sit down.

"Ramen!" She says as he hands her a bowel of it.

"I also brought sandwiches, dango, and some other foods," Obito says.

Kai knocks on Tsunade's office door, "Baa – chan," Kai says as he walks in.


"Kai, come in, is something wrong?" She asks and pushes her paper work aside.

"Yes," he says and sits in front of her, "you a medical nin right?"

"Yes, are you hurt?!" She asks and gets up to examine him.

"I am fine, but mom is acting weird." He says, "she has been vanishing for hours at a time sometime and then comes back either really pissed, happy, sad, or confused then turns into ticked off and takes it out on Sasuke – sensei."

Tsunade thinks for a moment, "well Kai," she says with a smile, "Do you know if she is in a relationship?"

"No, and she isn't, she hates all the men here," Kai says.

"How long has this been going on for?"

"A few weeks," he says.

"Well either she has a new boyfriend or she is pregnant," Tsunade says and sits down with a smirk.

Kai face palms, "why pregnant?!"

"Well from what you just told me she is having mood swings."

"No, no, these are not mood swings!"

"Why don't you bring her here and I will give her a checkup," Tsunade says, "will that put your mind at ease?"

"Yes, thank you," Kai gets up, "um Baa – chan?"

"Yes?"

"Thank you," he leaves, Obito must be doing something to mom!


"That was good," Naruto says smiling.

"Good," he says.

"How did you eat without taking your mask off?"

"It is a trick I learned because Deidara is always trying to see my face."

Naruto smiles "put on another mask and tell everyone you are going to show them what is under your mask. When everyone is there pull of the first mask and show them the second mask and say, 'it is another mask,' giggle and runs away before Deidara kills you."

"That would tick everyone off," Obito says, "I will have to try it later."

"Recode it for me. So," Naruto says, "what do you want?"

"Hm?" Obito looks at her confused but she can't see it.

"When an Uchiha does something nice they want something, so."

"Hm," Obito smiles, "I want you to leave this village with me, but I know you will wait for a few more years, but I can wait."

"Tsk," Naruto says, oh no I am talking like an Uchiha! "Just you and me?"

"Yes, just you and me and a new family."

"What about your son?"

Obito is taken back that she referred to Kai as his son, "we don't see eye to eye."

"So," she says, "If I leave I am taking him with me Obito. SO if you want me then you had better get on our son's good side," she says with a fox's smile.

Shit, Obito thinks, "Why are you telling me to bond with him now Naruto?"

"I think he is old enough to learn about his dad, see who he really is," Naruto says.

Obito sighs, she is just trying to make it harder for me to get her now, and she is enjoying it!

"Take off your mask," she says looking at Obito.

"What?"

"Take off your mask, I want to see your face," Naruto says, "I have seen your childhood pictures thanks to Kakashi – sensei, so I want to see what you look like now."

"No," he says, "I am not taking it off."

"Why, do you have a scar or something?"

"You could call it that."

"I don't care," Naruto says, "take it off."

"No," Obito says.

"Well if I leave with you then I need to know what you look like under the mask."

Obito looks at her dumb folded, but she can't see his face. She has a good idea what she did though.

"So?" She says and looks egger to see his face.

Obito sighs, "Ok I will show you, but you can't run away and you have to kiss me."

"Ok," she says smiling, "mask off now!"

Obito take it off, "are you happy now?"

"Whoa," she looks at how half of his face is wrinkled up, "what happened?"

"Half of my body was crushed by a rock and a man named Madara Uchiha saved me by reconstructing half of my body."

"Whoa," she says and puts her hand on his face; it is a different feeling for him. She kisses him on his forehead, "take it off when you're around me from now on." She sits back down away from him and looks at him

Obito has a subtle blush on his face, "then you must give me a kiss every time I do."

"Deal," she says, "now about your bonding with Kai."

"I can think of something," Obito says.

"Ok," she shrugs, "just make sure he is in bed by nine."

"Ok," he says.

Naruto walks around the village thinking, what the heck. What am I thinking; they will kill each other in a few minutes if I leave them alone?!

"Naruto," Sasuke walks to her, "I want to ask you something." He looks back and sighs when he sees that Renji and Kai are watching.

"What? IS something wrong?" Naruto asks.

"Do you want to get dinner tonight?"

"Maybe, if you can ask me out properly," Naruto says with a smirk, "you two are getting this on camera right?" Naruto screams to Kai and Renji, they give her a thumbs up and zoom in on Sasuke, "they told you how to right?"

He nods with a sigh and gets down on one knee and takes her hand, "Naruto will you go on a date with me?"

She looks at him emotionless and says, "no," and walks away. Sasuke is gawking at her as Kai and Renji are cracking up.

"No?" He follows her.

"I am not going to say yes on camera Uchiha," she says smiling, "you better pick a nice place for tonight Teme, or you will be feeling a lot of peoples wrath," Naruto says.

"SO yes?"

"Yep, later," she vanishes with leaves flying around her.


She appears in her room and looks through her closet for something to wear, "so you're going on a date?" Obito asks sitting on her bed with his mask on.

"Yep, I will be out and you can bond with Kai," she says and pulls out an orange dress, "what do you think?"

He glares at her but gets up and takes the dress from her, "sit down and I will give you something to wear."

"Since when are you the fashion expert?"

Obito smiles under his mask as he pulls out her dress "put this on with these shoes and take your hair down."

"Ok," she says unsure, "turn around," she takes the dress and Obito looks at the wall, "ok," he looks at her.

She is wearing a long black dress that is cut to her mid thy, black high heels, and black fingerless gloves. "Well?"

"Come here," he puts her hair up in a ponytail, "if her touches you or tries to make a move on you then Itachi will have to find a new little brother to fight with," he warns.

"Got it," she says, "later," she walks out of her room and runs into Sasuke.

"Whoa," he says with a little blush.

"What, did you think I couldn't dress like this Teme Uchiha?"

He is silent, the fact that Naruto could dress like that never crossed his mind at all, "um…?"

"Find me when you're ready," she says and pats his back.

"Mom," Kai runs over with Renji and they examine her.

"She needs make – up," Renji says.

"And new nail polish, the orange doesn't go with the black," Kai comments.

"Well I am not letting my two fashion designers try anything," Naruto says and sits in the kitchen.

"Oh Sasuke – Sensei!" Kai screams and they run to Sasuke's room.

"Oh Kami," Naruto sighs with a giggle.

"What?" Sasuke asks and they push him in his room and Renji locks the door, "what are you two doing?!"

"Helping you get ready!" Kai says, "Mom is all dressed up so you need to be too!"

"I will get the black suit!" Renji runs into the closet, "why is there only Uchiha shirts in here?!"

"That is all I wear!" Sasuke hisses, "Kai what are you doing?!"

Kai is brushing Sasuke's hair, "I am trying to get rid of your bed head, duck butt hair!"

"It won't come out," Sasuke says and pushes him off.

"He can borrow one of yours," Renji runs out of the room.

"One of your what?"

"You will see," Kai says evilly and smiles the only way that an Uzumaki can that will make an Uchiha feel like they need to run to the closest new village.

He gulps instead of running from his student.

"Got it," Renji locks the door as her walks in with a box.

"Good," Kai says, "put it on," he hands it to Sasuke.

"Why….."

Both of the boys are instantly armed with scythes that Hidan gave them, "hurry up or you will be late," Kai says with his sharingan on and it fully activated.

"Tch," Renji hits him in the head.

"No Uchiha langue!"

Sasuke rubs his head as he changes, "how does this fit?!" Sasuke says, "I thought this was yours?"

"It is," Kai says, "I get bored and I can sew," he fixes the tie; "don't you know how to tie a tie?"

"This is the first time I have worn one."

"Put a little of this on," Renji hands him some colon.

"Why are you to helping me?"

They smile and say, "For our own reasons!"

Sasuke sighs and walks out of his room into the kitchen, "Kai and Renji got you didn't they?"

"How can you tell?"

"The red circle bruise on your forehead and the suit has the Uzumaki symbol on the front pocket," she pokes it.

"T…." he stops himself from tsking and looks behind him to see Kai and Renji ready to smack him in the head, "where did they get the scythes?"

"My brother, Hid gave then the scythes when he visited," Naruto says.

"Have fun," Renji says.

"Be back at a reasonable time you two and no kissing!" Kai says sternly.

"Go get ready for bed, it is eight already!" Naruto says.

"Hai," they walk off.

They leave and go to a nice restaurant, "um," Naruto stops at the entry, "I can't go in there."

Sasuke sighs, "well if they do anything I will beat the crap out of them," he says and pulls her inside.

"A table for two?" the waiter asks then looks at Naruto, "no demons allowed."

"We are eating here," Sasuke says.

"You can but she isn't allowed in here, damn demon brat," he scoffs.

"Sasuke," Naruto says, "we can eat somewhere else.

"No I man reservations and we are eating here!"

Obito is watching, he is about to get hurt.

"Sasuke," Naruto says, "let's just leave."

The waiter pushes Naruto and hell breaks loss, Sasuke punches him and a few kunai fly by Sasuke and Naruto pinning the waiter to the far wall on the other side of the restaurant.

Stupid man, Obito thinks as he puts away his kunai.

"We need to leave," Naruto says when she gets up.

"Why?"

The manager comes out and walks to them, "you did this didn't you demon?!" He hisses.

"Nope, I did," Sasuke says, "he was rude to me so I taught him a lesson."

The manager gasps, "I am truly sorry sir."

"Table for two," he says.

The manager leads them to a table, "your meals will be free tonight, please forgive him and do not this badly of this place."

"We will see," Sasuke says and the manager leaves in a rush.

"If I had a dollar for every time I used that trick on people," Naruto says.

"Where do you think I learned it from?"

"You have been living with me for too long Uchiha," Naruto says laughing.

"Why do you way that?"

"You just pulled a prank from the Uzumaki master, you are wearing the Uzumaki symbol instead of the Uchiha, and you let two little boys dress you."

"Oh Shit!"

Naruto giggles, "you just realized how soft you have gotten?"

"Shut it," he mutters.

"Hey you need to be nice to your date," Naruto says with a smirk.

Sasuke sighs.


Obito wants to watch how there date plays out so if he does try anything he can take her away or just knock him out and she can blame it on someone else. But he goes to her house and enters through Kai's room window to see him sleeping, "nine o clock," he mutters as he pulls out the desk chair and looks at him, "how long are you doing to pretend to be asleep Kai?"

"Until you leave," he says and rolls over so he is looking at the wall.

"I am not going to leave," Obito says.

Kai sits up and looks at him, "why are you here? So you can knock me out and tuck me in again?"

"I am here to 'bond' with you," Obito says and gets up, "get dressed."

"NO thanks," he lays back down.

Obito sighs, "then I guess I will just show someone else Naruto's old training grounds and help them unlock it."

Kai sits back up and looks at him, "I hate you... Give me a few minutes." Kai gets dressed, "let's go." Obito looks at him, "what?!"

"I am still your dad so you should talk to me respectfully," Obito says then leads him to the Forest of Death.

"Dad's don't take their sons out after curfew," Kai says.

"They do when they aren't allowed near their child," Obito says and leads him around.

"Should we be in here?"

"No, but that never stopped your mom," he says as the walk to the tree house.

"A tree house in this forest?"

"Your mother made it," the walk inside.

"Wow," Kia walks around, he looks at the small room, "did she live here?"

"Sometimes," Obito sits in a chair, "you know what the village thinks about her, don't you?"

Kai nods, "I do, but I promised mom I wouldn't let hatred lead my life."

"Then she is trying to save you from the Uchiha curse," Obito says, "and she has done a good job so far."

"Uchiha curse?"

"The curse of Hatred, you don't need to worry about it if you don't live off of hatred," Obito says.

Kai sighs a bit, "so what now?"

"What do you mean?"

"When an Uchiha does something nice they want something in return, so what do you want Obito?"

Obito smiles under his mask, "try to guess."

"Ok," he sits on the make shift bed and thinks, "I really can't think of anything I can give you, besides a good word with mom if you wanted to date her," he stops and looks shocked. Several things start to click in his mind.

"Not what I was thinking Kai," Obito says, "what I wrong?"

"Nothing," he says, "then what do you want?"

"Try again son."

Kai looks at him a bit irritated, "you want me to think of you as my dad?"

"And call me dad, father, or something like that."

Kai looks at him confused, "no, you haven't been around at all!"

"By your mother's request," Obito says, "I know she told you that too, but I want to try again."

"Why?"

"You wouldn't understand Kai."

"Try me," Kai says seriously, "I get a lot more than most people think I do."

"If you are so smart then said it."

"You like mom now, right?"

"I have always liked her," he says, "and I have been watching you, both of you."

"When, name one time you have watched me!"

"I watched you join the academe and when you defended you friend, Renji at school. I sent you a book on you sharingan to help you learn about it, I watched you win you fight agents Hanabi Hyuuga at school yesterday too."

Kai is shocked that he has been watching him so vigilantly, "when is my birthday?"

"August 27, your mom's is October 10th," Obito says, "you will be eight this year."

"Mom is the nine tails jinchūriki."

"False, she stopped being its jinchūriki when you were born," Obito says.

"Sasuke lives with us."

"True and I will kill him if he touches Naruto or hurts you."

"You know they are on a date right?"

"Yes I pinned a waiter to the wall when he pushed Naruto down," Obito says.

"Cool," Kai says, "I mean, did anyone see you?"

"No," Obito says, "I was in the wall."

"What, a genjustu?"

"No I was literally in the wall," Obito sticks his arm through the wall, "it is a jutsu I came up with, I taught it to your mother."

Kai could help but be impressed, "would you teach me?"

Obito smiles, "I will teach my son."

Kai sighs, "thanks, dad," he mutters looking away.

"We can start training tomorrow after school, don't try to hide it from Naruto or she will have both of our heads."

"I am training with Sasuke – sensei after school," Kai says.

"Then we can train at night, nine o' clock until you get it."

"Mom will kill us if she finds out," Kai says.

"Then keep it a secret," Obito says, "just hide it and surprise her later."

"Ok," Kai walks to the door, "are you going to try to be around more often now, dad?"

"Yes."

Kai leaves and Obito follows him home and tucks him I as Kai goes to sleep.

Naruto and Sasuke walk in and Obito watch from inside of the wall, "I still can't believe you flipped the waiter over the table into the girl's bathroom and into a toilet."

"It takes skill," Naruto says, "I was finished with listening to him call me a demon under his breath."

"This was fun," Sasuke says.

"I guess," she says, "don't get any ideas; I still remember the death wish."

"I am sorry; I didn't mean to say that!"

"Don't care; you need to learn to think before you speak. Night," she walks into her room ad puts on pajamas.

"It seems like you had fun on your date."

"Yeah," Naruto says and lies in bed, "so what?"

"Nothing, I took your advice about 'bonding', I don't think I worked."

"It will take time; you are the one who want to join in now."

"Naruto…"

"You could have tried to weave in during his childhood," Naruto interrupts, "and you could have talked to him when I wasn't here or when I let him play in his room alone."

Obito is silent.

"You never even thought about that did you?"

"Shut it," he mutters.

"Night," she goes to sleep.

Obito watches her for a few minutes then leaves and goes back to the Akatsuki base, "Tobi, where have you been, hm?!" Deidara asks.

"I was walking around and I followed a butterfly to another village and got lost on the way back," he says sounding like Tobi.

Deidara sighs and walks away.

"Madara," Itachi says and pulls him away.

"What do you want Itachi?"

"I have noticed you have been watching Naruto more than you should, this is Zetsu's shift not yours."

"I can watch her if I want to," he says, "now I have to go," Obito walks into Pain's office.

"Madara, is something wrong?"

"Nothing is," he says, "I thought I should remind you that the boy will be opening your present soon," he leaves to his room that he shares with Deidara.

I hope you liked this chapter! : )

What is in the present?

What will Obito do now that Itachi knows he is going to Konoha so much?

I have a few new ideas now, yay! ; ) till next time.
