After that whole debacle they made their way safely to wave. The man's family is much nicer than he is and gladly gave them something to eat. They slept peacefully that night. Well most of them. Obito decided it was a good idea to call on some of his friends. They aren't there yet but they'll arrive during the week. Since that's how long it'll take for Zabuza to recover.

Now Kakashi is training them in the forest. Well that's what's supposed to happen.

'What'd you mean you already know tree walking?' Kakashi asks his beloved student Sasuke.

'Exactly what I said.' He walks up the tree to show Kakashi. The man shakes his head.

'What about water walking then.' He points to the lake in the distance.

Sasuke walks right up to it and stands on the water. 'I know that as well.'

Kakashi sighs. 'Do you know your elemental affinity?' That could be something he can teach the little one.

'Fire and lightning.' Kakashi lightens up at the sound of the second one. Finally, something he can teach the little one.

'I can teach you a jutsu of my own creation. The Chidori.' He pats himself on the chest. This jutsu is one of his proudest accomplishments.

Sasuke stares him dead in the eye. 'I know that one already as well.'

'How?!' Kakashi's eye is wide. His hands are in his hair.

'One morning I woke up and I knew all this crazy stuff.' Sasuke explains for the how many times?

'That's just so unfair.' He hears Naruto yelling next to him.

Kakashi shakes his head. 'Change of plans. Sakura and Naruto go practice tree climbing.' He then points at Sasuke. 'Sasuke you can go bother Obito some.'

'I'll do that.' Sasuke smirks. There are so many things he could do. 'With pleasure.'

He makes his way over to the bridge where Obito is guarding the builder. He sneaks up very carefully to scare the man.

'Hey Obito!' he yells into the man's good ear. Obito doesn't even flinch.

'Hey Sasuke. What are you doing here?' He asks calmly. Sasuke nearly hits the man right there. How dare he not be affected.

He takes a stand with folded arms. 'I'm annoying you. On Kakashi's orders.'

Obito scoffs. 'How annoying.'

'When are those people you contacted going to come.' Sasuke takes a seat on the bridge and starts playing with some of the loose planks.

Obito hums. 'Should be soon. The group I requested is actually in the area at the moment.'

'What are they like?' It isn't like Obito actually ever gave them any descriptions. Kakashi usually interrupted by that point.

Obito has to think for a minute. 'One is made of wood. The other is a shark.'

'Sounds interesting.' And weird. But then again Obito is weird as well. Half his skin is white. 'Is this group of your filled with weird people?'

'Most of them yes.' Even Obito had to admit that. 'There is also this guy whose part of some strange cult worshipping an evil god.'

'That's stupid.' Why worships a god. There is someone much better they can worship. 'They should be worshipping me.'

'You should get your head out of the clouds.' Obito hits the back of his head with a soft push.

Sasuke doesn't pay it any mind. 'I have the rinnegan. No one's going to beat me.' He is superior to them.

'In the group there is also a person with the rinnegan. And two of them.' Fuck. That could be bad. He needs to settle that as soon as possible. A man like that is dangerous.

'Where are they? I need to get rid of him.' He grabs the front of Obito's shirt but Obito makes him go through it.

He then shoves him away. 'You're a million years too early for that.'

'Why are you wearing that strange mask again.' Sasuke asks. That mask is ugly as shit. No one sane would wear it.

'They don't know my identity.'

'Then tell them.' Why does he want to keep it a secret? It's much cooler to be known for your deeds.

'There is a reason it's a secret.' Then tell him the reason. So far none of them were any good.

'Not for much longer.' Sasuke teases Obito. The man shakes his head.

'What's a secret?' A strange man with blue skin says. Sasuke has to admit that he's the strangest person he's ever seen. Then next to him is a strange man that's in a weird position. He also looks like a puppet.

'You're here Kisame and Sasori.' Obito greets the men.

Sasuke has something else to say. 'They're ugly.'

'What were you expecting?' Obito asks him.

'Nothing. I'm just glad they're ugly, at least now they'll never match up to me.' Sasuke takes another good look at the men. 'Why are there slashes through your headbands?' He can't have that.

'We're missing nin. We betrayed your village.' A glimmer appears in Sasuke eyes. This is the perfect opportunity.

'Would you like to become part of Konoha then?' he asks the two of them.

'No thank you.' Kisame rejects.

'You got no choice in the matter.' Sasuke takes out a scroll and unseals it. Inside there are a bunch of headbands. 'Here are your new headbands.'

'How did you get them?' Obito asks.

'I asked the Hokage.' He shoves them in the hands of the ninja. 'Put them on or you'll taste the rinnegan.' He points to his eye. The two men gulp and put it on with hesitance. 'Thank you. You are now official ninja of Konoha.'

'Really?' Obito is still skeptical. It's not every day that a genin can promote ninja.

'Yes, the Hokage gave me permission to do so.' It was a bit of struggle to get that permission, but he managed.

Obito starts muttering to himself. 'I should get the rest Ame headbands then. That'll solve that problem.'

'What are you talking about?' Sasuke did hear him though. 'You mean the others are missing nin as well? We have to adopt them.'

'You can't adopt ninja you've never met.' Obito hits his head again. This time there is actual force behind it.

'I can.' Sasuke pats his chest. 'I'll prove it to you.' He shows him the official file from the Hokage that gave him permission.

Obito sighs. 'Let's get back to Kakashi. I'm done with this shit.'

They make their way back to the house and there Kakashi is reading his book. The other two are still training in the forest. They explain what happened.

'You did what!' Kakashi screams. 'Sasuke why?'

'I need more servants for when I become supreme ruler of the universe. Best way to start is adopting lonely ninja into Konoha.' It's part of his flawless plan. Once he got enough servants he won't need a Hokage anymore. No all people will listen to him.

'Nope. This isn't happening. You guys were always part of Konoha. You've never met Obito before. Yeah, that must be it.' Kakashi looks at the new man and start rambling. They look at each other.

'No, it's not.' One of them has the heart to say.

'It is now.' Kakashi says with a strong voice.

Sasuke sighs. 'I worry for you sometimes Sensei.'

'What are you talking about? I'm perfectly fine.' They all look at each other. No, that man most certainly is not sane. Then they all turn to look at Sasuke. He's the one to blame for this.

'What can I say. I'm just this awesome.'

Not the chapter I'm most proud of. But I needed a break from the other story I'm writing. (Premise is on my profile.) I just needed to get something out. Next chapter will be better.

Also the Akatsuki have been bothering me. In my other story they are a key element but I've realised that the science in the group doesn't make any sense. Like Deidara's hand mouths. Are they connected to his digestive system? How can a set of teeth fit in a thin palm. Are there tastebuds? Then there is Kakuzu with multiple hearts, that can only disrupt the blood flow rather than improve his life span. Kisame is self explanatory but I can forgive it for magic. Hidan is also self explanatory. Sasori has this 'heart' which is also stupid because a heart is useless without blood to pump. He could have called it the brain. That makes some sense. Itachi has his eyes which are strange. Nagato too. He's malnourished. Konan is probably one of the more normal ones. Obito too is strange with his plant body. It's a giant scientific mess. But I love them anyway.
