And I'm back! I'm guessing that I'm going to end this story soon because I have absolutely no good ideas for this.. ;-; But I still have some plans for this story! ^.^
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto characters, or Naruto, they belong to Masashi Kishimoto. Only my OCs belong to me!
Oh, and also, I'm not very good at writing backgrounds and stuff, so tips? I'm also going to try adding more details for the background and people, I guess. ^.^
Dylan's P.O.V
So... this wasn't what I expected... I thought to him.
Me neither, Obito thought back. This... is different.
Welcome to my world, I said. I continued banging my head on the ground in my mind's landscape. Is it weird to feel pain in your mind?
Here, I'll switch with you again, Obito thought to me. Of we get attacked then I can't defend myself, so switch to my body instead.
What? I protested. And after I finally got away from all this! Nooooooooo! I came back into Obito's body.
"Did you seriously just transform back?" Amy asked. "How do you do that?!"
"You know how I'm in Obito's body right now, right?" I said. "Well, when Obito took over, he... went into my body."
Tobi is a good boy! Tobi said cheerfully. His voice. It's so loud. And high-pitched.
You're taking this calmly, I noted, thinking to Obito.
Well, it's not like I wanted to be in this mess, he replied. You should hurry up and get back to your other friends... Kana and Sarah.
Working on it, I thought back to him, and then I got up on my feet. The sun was high up in the sky, signaling that it was noon.
"Let's go to Kana and Sarah," I said, taking the locket that Torah handed out to me after we went to Kirigakure. "We're done here."
Amy and Torah both nodded, getting up. The grass where they were sitting was flattened, so I smoothed it out again. They looked at me weirdly. Then, I proceeded to open the locket. It was really hard to do so, since it seemed to be glued shut or something. After Torah had opened it, he took our hands and said to the locket, "Kana."
Torah's P.O.V
I only saw darkness for a second, before I landed in a pool of water. It looked like the stone monument place in Iwagakure, which is where I guessed we were at. I instinctively pushed chakra to my feet, so I wouldn't fall into the water, and I noticed Amy and Dylan did the same.
So 'Madara' was actually Obito, Itachi said. I couldn't nod in my mind, so I just replied.
Yeah, I thought to him.
It explains a lot, Itachi continued. He never did show me his 'eternal mangekyō sharingan.' And why he never used susano'o.
That... makes sense, I thought back. Susano'o requires both mangekyō eyes, I think.
"Oh, hey guys," Kana said, interrupting me from my thoughts. "You have the locket?" I nodded, giving her the locket.
"Well, help us look for the fifth locket," she continued. "And how is the locket sealed? Inside a rock?" Sarah paused looking up.
"I sensed it," she said, walking towards the pedestal. "However, I think I'm going to have to destroy this."
"Hold on," I said. "I can use an unsealing technique to unseal the locket."
Good idea, Itachi said.
"Alright, but hurry," Kana said. "There are some people coming over to the stone monument right now."
"Great, just what we needed," Amy said. "Screw it." She pushed chakra into her arms, and hit the pedestal, however, it seemed to absorb the attack.
"That didn't work," she said.
"What. the heck," Kana said, staring at the pedestal holding the... 'holy' stone up.
Only the Rinnengan can do that, I thought. Something's a bit off...
"I found the seal!" Dylan said, lifting the pedestal, and looking underneath it. The seal was on the bottom of the pedestal, though it looked very complicated.
"I'll figure it out, " I said, "I'll unseal it. After all, Itachi studied about the Uzumaki clan's seals before."
"Why am I the only one who doesn't have a voice in their head?" Amy asked.
"You should feel honored," Kana said to her. "At least you're not as insane as we are." I gave her a 'not-amused' face.
"Itachi-san!" Dylan said in a way too overly cheery voice. He had suddenly transformed into a 'Tobi,' in all his orange lollipop mask, akatsuki cloak glory.
"OH MY GOSH IT'S TOBI, RUN IT'S THE APOCALYPSE!" Kana yelled.
...Obito had a split personality? Itachi muttered.
Why the heck is Tobi in control of the body? I thought.
Amy's P.O.V
Torah started tinkering with the seal, which none of us could identify which kind of seal it was. I activated the byakugan suddenly, and saw three ninjas coming over to the stone monument; probably to visit the stone or polish it.
"Torah, hurry!" I said.
"I'm trying," he muttered. I noticed that there were three more seals around the area.
"Guys, there are three more seals around here," I said to them, pointing at where they were located. I, however, wasn't going to let my guard down, because the Iwa shinobi were coming closer. Then, I suddenly had an idea.
"Dylan!" I said, looking at him. "Cast- oh wait." He was still Tobi, who was currently dancing around in the water.
"Nevermind, then, Sarah!" I called out. She looked at me.
"Yes?"
"Can you put a genjutsu around this area to make it look like a part of the town instead of the stone monument?" I asked.
"Sure," she said, opening her sharingan. Good. That'll keep the Iwa shinobi from finding us. If one of them was a genjutsu expert, however, that was a different story.
However, I don't know if genjutsu blocks sound; if it doesn't, then we'll have to be quieter. I may not look like it, but I am pretty good at making up plans on the dot, and creatively too.
"Does the genjutsu block sound or anything?" I asked Sarah.
"No, but genjutsu does control all five senses, but only if I trap the victims inside an illusion, and if they don't realize it's an illusion," she replied. "If they do realize it's an illusion, then they can break out of it, and then the genjutsu will be entirely useless."
"If you mess up on it, then we'll be forced to fight them, right?" I asked. "Which I's prefer not to do. I like peaceful solutions." I pulled the hood of my cloak back up because it had fallen down. I glanced back at the others to see how they were doing.
Torah was still tinkering with the seal, though he looked a bit frustrated, and Dylan was trying to dance around, however, Kana was holding him back. Ok then... I thought, turning back around. The three Iwa shinobi suddenly jumped down right next to me, and took off again, looking fowards at 'the stone monument,' which was really just genjutsu.
That scared me, I thought, putting the kunai I had whipped out back into my half-burned off ninja pouch.
"Kana, Sarah, go to the other two seals around here," I said to them, pointing at the direction where the other seals were. They walked over to the other ones.
"Let me see," I muttered, looking at the seals. How did the Iwa nin not notice these seals. Wait... either it was placed here recently, or it was cleverly hidden. It doesn't look cleverly hidden.
"Look! There was genjutsu over the seals!" Sarah exclaimed, the sharingan in 'Izuna's' newly restored eyes spinning lazily.
"Wouldn't genjutsu experts notice it already, if it did have genjutsu over the seals?" I muttered to myself. "I think... it was placed here recently. Or it was specifically for only us to notice." Something's not quite right. Who would do this for... a bunch of kids? Maybe it was just a coincidence, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was out of place.
I pulled the seal a little, but it wouldn't come off. Hmmm...I was expecting that. Suddenly, I had an idea. Four seals...
"Guys, on the count of three, pull the seal!" I said to Kana, Sarah, and Torah, who looked weirdly at me. Kana gave me a thumbs up.
"One, two, three!" I said, managing to pull the seals looses, finally. Instantly, doppelgängers of ourselves arose out of the ground. Ha! I knew it! I thought. It's this kind of seal!
I recognize this seal, Neji said suddenly.
Wait... what? I thought to him. So now he appears. I got into the Hyuuga clan stance. The doppelgänger did the same. I looked through the corner of my eye to see Kana fighting with her doppelgänger Madara. ...This is going to be destructive.
I've been watching what's going on for a while now, Neji said. I started to exchange blows with the other... me. Or is it Neji? I used the Hyuuga clan's gentle fist style.
And you didn't talk until now? I asked. But I don't really mind. I would've probably done the same. But yelled 'BOO' instead.
Typical, he said back to me. Here, let me take over. I know how to use gentle fist more efficiently.
The pleasure is all yours! I said to him, going into my mind's landscape. It was pure white, with a bunch of orbs floating around. One of them was labeled "memories." I closed my eyes for a second, and was suddenly looking through the eyes of Neji. I snapped my eyelids open.
"Whoah!" I said. "Cool!" I closed them again, but instead, I sat laid down. The ground was pretty hard.
Neji was in his original body, fighting the doppelgänger with some difficulty.
Why does this place have that kind of seal, I thought to myself. This seal was the one Akatsuki used... This is getting weirder.
It is, Neji said. However... are you going to go to Konoha again after? Because you only have four lockets.
Wait... What do you mean, we only have FOUR lockets? I asked him. I vividly remember getting FIVE lockets. Well, this is the fifth one. Oh wait... I see what you mean. For now, we only have four lockets.
Clone's down, he said.
Awesome, I thought, still relaxing in my mind. These few days... or was it weeks... was really tiring. Wait a second... won't our moms worry about us?
HOLY FIDDLESTICKS I NEED TO GET BACK TO MY OWN WORLD MY MOM AND DAD ARE GOING TO BE WORRIED THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH HOMEWORK I HAVE! I yelled, panicking.
...Ow. Please bring the noise level down a bit, Neji said, wincing.
Can I come back now? I need to strategize with my friends, I thought.
...Righht. If you call stalling 'strategizing,' he thought to me, but he complied. I came back into... of course. His body. NOOOOO! But since mine didn't have any chakra, his is ok. The stone pedestal was ok, for some reason. I thought that it would be in pieces by now.
"Clone is down," Kana said. "*insert evil Madara laugh here*."
"Settle down, kids, settle down," Dylan said, laughing a little.
"You're normal! Thank goodness!" Kana exclaimed. "Tobi was driving me up the wall! Literally!"
Tobi? Neji asked.
You don't know him? I asked. Well... Obito was disguised as Tobi, with even a fake personality to match, though the split personality was a bit surprising.
"I've defeated the clone," Sarah said, walking over to us. "What now?"
"Well... I don't know if Torah is done, but take the locket!" I said, pointing to the place where Torah's seal he was supposed to take off used to be. We walked over to it, and then saw the golden locket glinting in a tiny space within the pedestal. I took it out.
"Now, we just have to go home!" I said, grinning. I reached for the fifth locket inside my ninja pouch, and then suddenly, my face became very pale.
"Fiddlesticks," I said, panicking.
"I left the fifth one back at Konoha."
Cliffhangers! ~ Anyway, there might be four? Or five more chapters and then I will be done with this horrible, horrible story! Bye! ;)
