DISCLAIMER: DO NOT OWN ANYTHING THAT YOU RECOGNIZE.
What if someone reached Kannabi Bridge to save Obito and bring him back to Konoha? What if that person is a part of Kakashi's past? A person he considered friend who vanished when he needed her the most. Slow updates. Obito alive and is in Konoha. Obito/Rin. Kaka/hp. Fem hp.

"How long do you think it will take her to find the staff?" The man with bright red hair asked her sister who had equally bright red hair if not a bit brighter. She turned towards her brother away from the 'Well of Worlds' looking at him as the well showed an image of a red head girl child helping a black head boy child. She smiled softly and sighed while looking at the girl child once more. "The old monkey will know when to send her to search for the staff. When the time is right he will reveal the truth to her, of her arrival and her true home. And if it's too late we might as well take a look at the continents. It's almost a decade to my solitary confinement, I'm sure we can take a few days off, can't we brother mine?" the tomoe's in her eyes spinning lazily in content in her bright purple eyes. The male could once give a fond exasperated sigh as he smiles at her elder sister who was looking at him impishly; people can't say that she wasn't dedicated. It might be for the wrong purpose but she was dedicated.

It was a month since Obito had been crushed under the caves, and for the second time in his life he had someone who had complete and total faith in him just after they had met. She was there when the hordes of Uchiha elders had come barging in his room; screaming and in hysterics (as much as they could show) that he had given his eye to an outsider. She had blazed in his room, power crackling around her, her hair pitch black and eyes as black as his. But, but it covered him in a protective cover it felt like bathing after a hard summer working under the sun, like the cool balm his grandmother uses when he gets burn from using katon continuously, or that first sip of water after a hard workout. It cooled him, comforted him to his core (later Kakashi had said that even though she was a fire type her intent was like water, cool calm and soothing). The Uchihas had taken a step back when they saw her clad in black armor, her Naginata held up her weight as she leaned on it so very casually, head tilted on the right side as she observed them. She had them squirming for a good 20 minutes, no one said a word. She had shaken her head ruefully and gave them a scroll and ushered them out of the room in such a cheerful voice that even he knew it was fake. For years Rin-chan-chan was the only light in his life but now, now he has an inferno, now he felt lighter, like something had changed in his very blood, a new strength in him that he had never felt before.
And acceptance; Kakashi had finally accepted him; he had felt him more than once in his hospital room in dead of the night; Kakashi would come in through the window, check for his pulse with slightly shaking hands and after a shaky breath of relief he would disappear just as he came. Kushina-san had cried for him threatening him even as she held him close almost as if making sure if he really was there; her chocked voice as she let her emotions slip through, of the threat to bring him back from dead if he died before he could become a Jounin, the whispers of soft breath on his hair as she clutched him even tighter. Minato- sensei was proud of him carding his calloused slim fingers through his hair; it couldn't have been easy for him Obito thought and something warm fluttered in his chest, he had always felt that he was being left behind that Minato-sensei favored other two of their team above him, but sensei's presence twice a day was soothing to his soul, just like Kakashi he came to see if he was still there. And Rin-chan-chan, Rin-chan-chan was closer to him, after being yelled at when he woke up for the first time, he had comforted her in raspy voice; her tears stinging his heart as she stuttered to never talk to him again if he did anything of that sort ever again, and promises were exchanged to get better so that something like this never happen again. He had apologized as he felt his consciousness slipping and that he would always come back for her even if it meant cheating death. She was there when she had time sneaking him food and sweets and tell him about the gossip around the village. Hell even his own grandmother had given him her silent approval by signing his emancipation forms, she had smiled at him after cracking his skull and given him the deeds of their home. He had stared at her blankly but she smiled and explained "Obi-kun youre a Chunin now, you have something to fight for, something to protect, us Uchihas we love with everything we have and when that love is gone we spiral into madness if we don't have an anchor. You grounded me for years my child after the death of your father if it weren't for you I would have been driven to madness. You are the heir to Madara's blood, the eldest of you three, you could be the one to bear the curse or you could be our salvation. It is in your blood to be destined for greatness and one my mortal body has given up I have willed my eye to be transplanted into yours The deed is a gift to you from me my dear heart. You are my sole heir and you have always made me proud" and as He cried in his grandmothers arms the in this world and the next Senju Maika had his loyalty, and he would kill for her and be killed if it meant that she lived. He had his precious people and he would train his mind body and soul so that he could protect them to the best of his abilities.
The next month saw him getting through his therapies at a stunning rate. Minato- sensei had left for the iwa battle front two weeks ago and Kushina was running ragged with the barrier corps and the fuinjutsu division. Kakashi and Rin-chan-chan were send with different cells of Chunin on missions. While Maika-hime spent 4 days out of the week with him. He had seen her on the verge of collapsing but she had made sure he did his light training without any discomfort. She was dedicated to her work, within those two months he could say that he was glad that she paid attention to him. Because even though he wasn't a genius of any kind she showed him that he was worth it, that he was worth all the trouble and just for that he was going to do his very best. The month after that was grueling training, with taijutsu being brushed up and her allowing him to copy a few jutsu in her arsenal. He was given a crash course in basic fuinjutsu till his hands cramped, and practice in healing minor wounds. He was trained to his bones everyday and if Maika-hime was not present or if she didn't give him a scroll to pursue, a Jounin or a tokujo would be assigned to him and they happily help him brush up his skills. He was promised that once he was back in field he will be allowed to choose a weapon of his choice to master.
Instead of moving into Kakashi's home Obito had moved into the Senju clan compound on the reasons that the compound was more secure that the Hatake home. The estate was sprawling with trees and traditional houses but such a sorry sight. He knew that Uchihas right now had around 150 or something people but Senju's were down to two. The whole estate was silent but Obito hadn't commented on that, instead he kept on chatting and thinking out loud. "and is that tree supposed to be of that shape?" hime had laughed at where he was pointing "yes it is, Hashirama-oji sama made that specifically for Mito-oba sama on their first wedding anniversary" the tree in question was an old oak tree in the shape of heart. She led him through various gardens and green houses that were kept up by Yamanaka clan. She had then led him into the second grandest home of the whole compound. She opened the door and led him in and through a several hallways, "the other home is Tsuna-hime's, the weapon armory is there, but here" she pushed the door in and allowed him to go in there first. It was a library "Tobirama-oji sama's personal library" she whispered to him. Even though he wasn't a person who would sit down and read, giving up a chance to go through Nidaime-sama's personal library? He's not stupid. He was settled into one of the rooms in the family section with his artifacts collected by some Genin team. After being added to the barrier that allowed people to enter the Senju compound Maika gave a free reign over the house. Only asking him not to go in the shrine at the back of the property or enter the main house. Obito was free to do what he wanted after he finished his daily exercise regime which was getting more complicated (little did he know that Maika had slowly eased him into lighter ANBU regime) and he was pulled into the books like a moth drawn to a flame. The first time Kakashi had seen him with a book was memorable. He had removed his mask once he entered the compound and searched for him throughout the estate to find him sitting up a Hashirama tree. Kakashi had almost slipped after he gained balance they sat together and debated on the book. The book was on chakra and he saw the quirk of Kakashi's lips when they finally settled down.
What Kakashi didn't know was that Obito was almost ready for the field work. It was trial run to see if his body was actually ready for field or not and hence on Kakashi's next field operation Obito and Maika-hime were to be back up after she finishes a small mission in the grass country before they tail them. He couldn't wait to see Bakashi's face when he greets him on the field. It was then an ANBU messenger spoofed on a higher branch on the tree they were sitting in. "Hatake- san, Uchiha- san your presence is required at the western gates" with that he spoofed away just as he came. Both frowning at each other when Kakashi raised single eyebrow at him and he shrugged at the silent question.
The western gate was filled with families waiting for the battalions to come back. According to the rumors a summon was sent beforehand to warn the village of incoming shinobies. They found Maika-hime standing with the head of the Hyuuga clan waiting like everyone else. Almost 45 minutes later they saw the first squad coming in. Obito saw Maika-hime tear up as she jogged up to the incoming procession. She leaped at the figure leading them back and hugged him, both him and Kakashi followed her and they heard the man berating the hime. The man turned out to be one of the sannin; Orochimaru. "how many times have I told you not to tackle a shinobi returning from a mission….." he had heard about the man, he was said to be cruel and ruthless and cold but seeing him berate hime he did the mistake to snorting. Molten golden eyes turned to him and he had the weird urge to flee his instinct screamed 'flee, flee, flee, predator, predator, predator' his joints locked and the man assessed him. "nii-sama stop scaring him" Maika-hime saved him from the piercing gaze. Orochimaru-san placed a hand on her head and took a calming breath. "Can I at least go home and have a day's break before you start doing something stupid?" he asked her. She just smiled at him waved walking backward "I swear chibi I'll feed you to Manda myself if you something stupid. I do not wish to listen to Jiraiya berate me. Chibi, chibi… " and she disappeared into the crowd. Orochimaru san then turned to face Kakashi "you will keep an eye on her. Both of you" he looked over me once again and then walked in. "was it just me to get this sudden urge to flee from him is common?" he asked Kakashi once he was sure the snake sannin was truly gone. "He has that effect on people, but he is a genius of his own category. Not to mention one of the sannin."
Obito looked heavenwards and thinks 'his life if definitely changing. And he hoped it was for the best' smiling at the people around him and looking around for Maika-hime.
