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.
Obito was observing Maika-hime as she meditated. Today she was wearing an elegant traditional black kimono with silver obi wrapped around her waist. It was one of those days, when the dead were buried; a mass funeral for the brave shinobies and kunoichies of Konoha, who will be laid to rest at the setting sun. He wondered if not for the kind hime would he be one of those to be buried today. He took a shuddering breath as his eye filled; blinking away he waited for her to be ready to leave. He himself was wearing a traditional black kimono that was laid out on his bed; the whole up do was mildly uncomfortable but nothing he wasn't used too. Finally hime gave a deep sigh as she stood up; her hair was up in a simple hairdo a half up half down one which had a single Senju heirloom comb instead of that crown. He offered his hand for her to hold on too as they made way to the ceremony.
Maika had left Obito-kun in Rin-chan's vicinity as she made her way further way up. She was going to be standing behind Jii-sensei as her status demanded. The whispers had already started as she slowly made her way through the crowd 'genius' 'princess' 'powerful' 'prodigy' 'reviving the Senju clan' where the common once along with 'dangerous' 'shrewd' 'unemotional' 'threatening ability' 'already making her name'. She scowled under her mask at them, do good then you're over confident, do bad then you're not good enough. She took the rooftop to reach the Hokage tower faster; the stupidity was getting to her. Standing beside Orochi-nii-sama at the terrace of the Hokage tower, she leaned in his side wrapping him in her power to remind him that he's not alone here. In return he kept his hand on her head while they stood on the side while the Hokage-sama addressed the population that had gathered to hear him. They then proceeded to the burial ground where she waited till the bodies were buried. Once the last grave was filled she broke away from the crowd as summoned her staff. Pulling the power from within her she raised the staff and bought it down with a low thud and the graveyard was filled with flowering plants and crowd gasped at the display. When a runner came up to Jii-sensei and gave him a scroll, he looked straight at her and waved her forward. The scroll was handed to her.
Salutations Hokage-sama
By the time this scroll reaches you were might as well be dead. A battalion of over 500 Iwa shinobies are marching towards Konoha with a plan to lay siege or damage as much as they can before they die. Namikaze Minato has gone to intercept them alone against our wishes. We are going to block the way that leads back to konoha. We need backup as a the second batallion that is going to move in 2 days time has moved forward and will reach the pass by the dawn of sun. The orders to the attack will start with the approximate time we guess it will take for the news to reach you. We are near the Ryuu pass that leads to the old temple of Inari in Iwa.
May the will of fire burn forever brightly in our soul even after death.
Captain Uchiha Yamahiro.
"Prepare for a team of first response teams and Medic Nin and add a few trackers in the mix. We leave in 10 minutes." Several people hoped away to get the teams ready when Hokage nodded the consent. "Bring them back alive hime." Jii-sensei said to her as she moved away. Pulsing her chakra thrice she got the response from the back of the crowd. The letter still in hand she flamed directly beside Kakashi. Shoving the letter at him she asked Rin and Obito for their weapon pouch as Kakashi read through the letter. "Sensei is so dead when Kushina san gets the message that he did something so monumentally…." He waved the letter around to get the message across. The said letter was snatched by Obito who along with Rin read along with him. Getting extra weapons she flamed to the northern gate where the team was already forming. Clapping twice she got their attention "everyone we are on a time limit, if the expected people don't arrive in the next 3 minutes we are leaving. Form a group of two heavy hitter, one medic and one tracker in one team. All the Hyuuga please distribute your-self equally. And remember 'We' are coming back alive." There was no cheer as the time was ticking away. At the end of three minutes a group of 120 people gathered; she asked everyone to hold onto someone, to come closer and that it might be a bit uncomfortable. She gathered power from both of her cores and let it saturate her and the area around her as she bought her staff down with force. A seal began to bloom from where the staff struck the ground. The pressure became high as flames began to swirl around the seal and like a tornado it went higher and higher and suddenly they vanished without a noise, only a seal was left where they were standing and the air saturated with a lot of chakra.
They appeared 1 kilometer away from the pass to regroup. Her breath was coming in a short gasp; this was the first time she took so many people with her. She took a look at the people around her to make sure nothing was amiss and everyone was safe. The people using chakra to cool their body down and within 5 minutes they moved for the hidden battalion in the Ryuu pass. She led them through the foliage as was met with 2 people in Konoha uniform. "May the will of fire burn forever" "brightly in our soul even after death. I come with backup" the password was correct and now the cheer was raised with the added 80 shinobies the count of the battalion reached at 300 people. She smiled at them and moved to speak with captain Uchiha "Namikaze is near the old hogomoro clan ground of clan warring era" he said before she could ask. "Thank you captain" she moved away pulling energy for another jump.
"Wait…" she blinked as the man muttered to himself. She observed the man standing in front of him. Classic Uchiha she could say dark brown hair and black eyes, slim build with wiry muscles. She raised an eyebrow in silent question. He finally removed a ring from his weapon pouch and held it out for her. "I'm one of the last of Tajima Uchihas line." She stopped breathing for a while. "My grandfather was a bastard child yes, but powerful in his own way. He was given this ring as an acknowledgment from Madara Uchiha. It's an heirloom of our clan." Our clan, her eyes filled with tears and she looked away. He took her hand and laid it in her palm and closed her fist over it. "I acknowledge you as a part of my family, and if I return I'd like to get to know my niece. Please keep this safe, it's yours even if they won't accept it." She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "Then I await your return….. Uncle" she gave him a watery smile and she flamed away.
It was a massacre. Plain and simple as she looked at the battle field in horror. She carefully walked down the path littered with body to where Namikaze Minato was sobbing. His hiraishin kunai littered liberally around the ground. He was crying, not the loud crying just heaving of shoulders, hitching breath and tears that ran down his face as it finally hit what he had done. She walked up to him making sure her kimono was making noise as to not startle him. She knelt in front of him and bought his chin up so that she could see his eyes. Regret and pain, regret of taking so many lives, pain of destroying so many future. "I can't say you did the right thing Minato-kun. But maybe with this the war may end." She told him wiping away his tears even though it was futile. Her kimono and hair was soaking with blood but she sat there with the man who was still sobbing.
The worst part of having a battle was the after math. She made 6 clones of herself and they began to arrange the bodies while keeping an eye on Minato-kun, she removed the weapons and untied the hatai-ate and kept it on the chest. It took them 3 hours to lay the body in line and remove the weapons from all of them. By that time Minato-kun had calmed down considerably. His clothes were blood soaked and sticky. His eyes were puffy and red and he had a slump in his shoulders. 'He will need a bit of therapy' she though looking at his now lifeless eye. She sealed the weapons in a scroll and surprisingly she found 18 summoning scrolls which were sealed as well. It seemed a part of their plan was to unleash summons on the village. That would have been disastrous if the plan had worked. But oh well new stuff for me..…"the summons will go in Hokage vault Mai-chan." Oh he saw; Maika pouted at that and turned to give him the best puppy dog eye she could manage. He looked absolutely unimpressed "just a few" she bargained. His eye twitched as he looked at her still unimpressed. She slumped her shoulders thinking that she could simply…. "No flitching it either" damn.
They waited until a group of 7 Iwa reached the massacred ground. Their horror was unfathomable as they looked at the rows upon rows of bodies. All their eyes turned to her as she moved to meet them. She wondered how she looked, hair and kimono drenched in blood, a staff clenched in her hand and still she moved gracefully. Reaching a few feet from them she spoke to them. "A siege would have laid today on Konoha if Namikaze Minato hadn't stopped them here." A careful wave of her hand to where Minato-kun was standing; Alone surrounded with bodies that he had killed. "A whole village full of mourning people would have died. Civilians who don't have the power to defend themselves, all that would have been left would have been a ghost town. Tch, you people are so moronic I don't want to comprehend it. This is a message to your Tsuchikage that even though the war that he started might have waged on all of us. Konoha will still remain standing even if the moon breaks down." She pointed at the field "This will be end result to anyone who tries to harm what is ours. Be thank full that we are leaving you the dead to be buried with respect unlike you who doesn't know the common courtesy to at least leave behind something for the families. We are leaving but remember we will fight for our people till our dying breath. For the tree may be damaged but it will never die until there are one those who protect her." With that she walked away from them. That was the biggest insult to any ninja. Someone showing their back to them, it was a silent message that you don't scare me and that I'm more powerful. Walking up to Minato-kun she clasped his elbow and they flamed away.
It was only after that she was inside konoha's wall that she began shaking. The flaming took a toll on her body and the sealing was not easy either after flaming. She looked at the man standing next to her, he was shaking as well. Chakra exhaustion probably as well as mental and emotional strain, they walked a deserted Konoha towards the hokage tower. Let them sleep she thought because we are awake and fighting. Once sitting in the war room minato-kun gave his report to the war counsel in a monotone voice devoid of all emotions, many shinobies winced at the number that had been killed in the time frame. It will go down as one of the bloodiest and shortest battle in the shinobies history.
thanks for the reviews. and all the follows and favorites.
