Naruto: Before Pre-Shippuden! Series 1! - Trying to Save the Future!
Suiren Uzumaki: So, after reading some of these kinds of story I have decided to try doing a Naruto story where those of the past get to view the future in hopes of making changes for the better with my own twist to it. Also I'll be trying to make Naruto as smart as his Father, but he still has his Mother's personality which is a deadly combination. I almost feel sorry for the people he pranks for being jackasses. Key word being 'Almost'. Anyways, onto the disclaimer: I do not own Naruto cause if I did then Sakura wouldn't be a useless fangirl in pre-shippuden and Naruto would have his Father's smarts while keeping his Mother's personality and knows about seals and how to use to them. I do, however, own Rin Uzumaki (Namikaze). Remember to Read and Review to let me know what you think. Also if you don't like any twist that I might make then stop reading and find something else to read plus don't leave a review that's a flame or I will find a way to block you. Ja ne!
...My Line...
Team Minato along with Kushina Uzumaki, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade Senju, Jiraiya, 2 to 3-year-old Itachi Uchiha, and Mikoto and Fugaku Uchiha are brought to an unknown room by the Sage of Six Path, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, to learn of the disaster that future has become in hopes of fixing it. But, can they stop Madara Uchiha, Black Zetsu, and the return of Kaguya Otsutsuki just by saving one of their own?

...My Line...
"Where are we, Minato-Sensei?" a shoulder length, pin straight, brown hair and doe shape chocolate brown eyed 12 almost 13-year-girl asked.
"I don't know Rin," a neck length, messy windswept, blonde hair and narrow almond shape cobalt blue eyed 21-year-old man answered as he looked around the room they were in to see that they weren't alone. "Kushina?"
The mentioned redhead looked over at him in surprise.
"Minato?"
She moved over to Minato Namikaze as he looked her over to make sure that she was alright.
"Is everyone alright?" a blonde and hazel eyed woman asked as she looked around at them all.
"We're all fine Lady Tsunade," Kushina Uzumaki answered.
2 almost 3-year-old Itachi Uchiha toddled over a dark hair pre-teen and held up his arms.
"Up, Bwothew," the toddler demanded.
His parents, Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha, also smiled though it was very small as their Nephew picked up their son with ease and placed him on his right hip while keeping an arm around him.
"Hey, it looks like we're in a movie theater," the toad sage, Jiraiya pointed out.
"Color me surprised," Tsunade Senju said as she looked around. "Your right...for once."
"Now, now, let's not start a fight," the Sandaime Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, intervened with a cackle.
"We have a mission that we need to get ready for," Kakashi Hatake stated as he crossed his arms. "We don't have time for this."
"Just shut up Bakashi," Obito Uchiha growled as he glared at his male teammate. "In case you haven't noticed there is no way out of here!"
"Stop it, you two," Rin Nohara scolded. "This is not the time to be fighting with each other."
"Rin is right," Minato agreed as he looked at his male students.
Both of them glanced down at the ground.
"Sorry, Sensei," the two apologized.
It was then a cackle was heard making the older ninjas to fell into defensive stances while Kakashi and Rin moved to guard the youngest member of the group as they all looked to see an older looking male with purple eyes that had ripples starting from his pupils.
"Who are you?" Obito asked as he held Itachi closer.
"I am Hagoromo Otsutsuki," the old man answered. "Or as you all know me as the Sage of Six Paths."
All the Shinobi's eyes widen in shock.
"If you are, who you say you are, then why did you bring us here?" Obito asked as as the rest nodded in agreement.
"Because of the disaster that the future has become," the Sage answered sadly.
"What?!" everyone yelled in shock.
"And I am sorry to say that it started with Kannabi Bridge," he added as he looked the Uchiha Chunin sadly.
"But...but...but, that's our next mission," Obito stuttered in shock as Itachi buried his face into the croak between his Cousin's neck and shoulder.
The Father of the Ninja Way nodded his head which only scared the dark hair pre-teen even more.
"Now do you wish to learn about the future?" Hagoromo asked them.
"Yes," every last one of them answered.
The three in front of them nodded once before the sage left while the two from the future moved to the back of the group, who sat down in the front, with Obito holding Itachi in his lap. They all looked at the screen as Minato turned it on.
...My Line...
Episode 1: Kakashi Chronicle – A Boy's life on the Battlefield, Part 1!
The Screen showed a forest that was moving by fast before going to show a certain 12-year-old Uchiha male running through it.
'This is bad,' Obito thought. 'If I don't hurry, he's going to kill me! Can I make it?' However, just then the goggle wearing Chunin tripped over a vine and landed in a clearing where he looked at his teammate. "Did I make it?"
"No, your late, Obito," Kakashi answered as he glared at him with his arms crossed over his chest. "What? Did you forget what time we were suppose to meet? When your a full fledge shinobi your expected to follow all the rules and regulations."
...My Line...
Itachi giggled at that while the rest either smiled or rolled their eyes.
...My Line...
"Well, I was on my way when this feeble old lady with these heavy bags ask me for directions then I got something in my eyes and…"
"If your going to lie at least make up a good one," Kakashi told him.
"Alright, Kakashi, that's enough," Minato told him as he looked at the two boys. "I'm sure Obito showed her the way to go. Right, Obito?"
"And carried her bags," Obito answered as he put eyedrops into his eyes.
"Your to nice, Minato-Sensei," the silver hair Jonin told him. "Every time Obito's late, he says that he stopped to help some need person. Ninja, who break the rules and laws are regarded as nothing, but scum. Isn't that right?"
The Namikaze laughed nervously at that.
"Don't you have a shard of kindness in that heart of yours?" the Uchiha asked. "All you ever talk about is rules and regulation. The key is self control."
This only got a glare and growl from the Hatake.
"Alright, let's calm down, you guys," Rin told them. "We're on the same team, remember?"
...My Line...
"Rin that is not going to work," Tsunade stated as she looked at the young girl.
All the 12-year-old brunette did was laugh nervously while Kushina nodded in agreement with the Senju.
...My Line...
"Your to easy on Obito, Rin ," Kakashi stated as he looked back at her. "Remember that today is also a special day for me."
"Oh, yes, of course," the brunette agreed.
"Why is that again?" the Uchiha asked.
The group of four started to walk.
"As of today Kakashi is a Jonin just like I am," Minato told Obito. "For this mission Kakashi and I breaking up into two teams. That makes it more efficient. After all the Leaf's Military strength is at the lowest it's ever been."
"We're splitting up?" Obito asked. "So, then…"
"That's right," Minato answered. "Kakashi will be captain of a 3 man squad with you and Rin , Obito. A nd I'll be working alone."
"Remember we were just talking about this a couple of days ago?" Rin asked as she looked at him. "When we discussed getting Kakashi a gift."
...My Line...
"Do we really need to see this part?" the Future Yondaime asked the Sage
All the Otsutsuki did was nod his head making both Rin and her Sensei to sigh.
...My Line...
"Sorry, guess I wasn't listening."
"Well, here's what I got for ya," the blonde Jonin said as he held up a tri-prong kunai when they stopped. "A costume made kunai knife. It's a little heavy and unconventional, but you'll get use to it eventually.
"Yeah, thanks," the Hatake thanked him as he took the kunai.
"This one's from me," Rin stated as she pulled out a small pack from her backpack. "I made a personalized med-kit for you. I even adjusted a few things to make it easier to use."
"Thanks," Kakashi said as he took the pack.
Obito blinked in surprised when the silver hair Jonin held out his hand.
"Why are you holding out your hand for?" the Uchiha asked. "If your expecting a gift from me, you can forget it."
"That's fine," Kakashi told him. "I doubt that it would be anything good anyways. Better nothing at all then a useless burden."
"What I don't understand is how a guy like you gets to become a Jonin!" Obito said.
"That's funny coming from you," the Hatake stated.
"I'm Obito Uchiha of the powerful Uchiha Clan," the dark haired Chunin growled. "I'll be stronger then you'll ever be! Kakashi, you just wait until my Sharingan awakens."
...My Line...
"You two really need to stop fighting," Rin sighed.
Kakashi and Obito just glared at each other while everyone else shook their heads.
...My Line...
"I thought that everyone in the Uchiha Clan was suppose to be elite, so you really shouldn't have to rely on that," the silver hair 12-year-old stated. "You should be great already."
"What?"
Just then the brunette ran up to them and pushed them apart looking annoyed .
"Guys, stop it!" she growled.
"Yes," Minato agreed. "Can I explain the mission no? We don't have that much time. We're getting close tot he broader now." This made the three pre-teens to look at him before they gathered around him as he laid out a map. "See? It's this line here." He showed the line in question. "It shows where the Land of Earth are currently invading Kusagakure no Sato. The enemy are Shinobi from Iwagakure no Sato and according to intel they deploy 1000 Shinobi to the front lines...here."
He then pointed at a spot with a bridge.
"They advance further then the last time," Obito said.
"Well, Kusagakure is situated right next to the Land of Fire," Kakashi stated. "We should've stepped in earlier."
"Iwagakure is able to invade like this then it must mean that they have a significant system for reinforcement," Rin said as she looked up at her teacher.
"That's why our mission is this, the Kannabi Bridge," the Namikaze told them as he pointed it out. "To crush your enemy at the front lines requires enormous amount of Shinobi, right? There Shinobi like us, whose focus is sabotage, are forced to work in a small significant unit."
"The bridge," the Hatake said as if he had an epiphany. "So, our mission is infiltration."
"Team Kakashi, your mission is to sneak in behind the enemy and reach that bridge," the older Jonin told them. "Once your there you'll destroy it in order to disrupt the enemies support options. After that you will promptly withdraw."
"Understood," the three of them said.
"And you?" the Uchiha asked.
"I'll confront the enemy directly on the battlefield," Minato answered. "That'll create a diverse so that you can do your job. Now remember, Kakashi's you r captain on this mission. Also, the four of us will travel to the broader together, but once we get there we'll split up for our missions."
He held out his hand to which they placed their own hands over it.
"Right."
...My Line...
The scene changed to Team Minato walking through a forest of trees with mushrooms like features growing out of them. T he silver hair Jonin to stop and hold out an arm to stop the other t hree .
'Nice Kakashi ,' Minato thought with a smile.
...My Line...
"Not bad, Gaki (Brat)," Jiraiya praised making the silver hair 12-year-old to blush at the praise.
"Who cares?" Obito asked grumpy.
This earned sweatdrops from everyone else to their amusement.
...My Line...
It was that that the scene moved to an Iwa ninja that stood hiding in a tree watching them.
'They detected me,' he thought. 'I'm impressed.' He then looked more closely at the blonde Jonin. 'That's...no, it can't be.' He then made a hand sign. 'I'll just adverse for now.'
...My Line...
The four of them were crouched behind a fallen tree.
'There's 1...' the blonde thought as he also felt around. "Be on your guard everyone. There's 20 of them out there. I t's as I thought." Minato sighed. "Shadow Clones."
"I agree Sensei," Kakashi said. "Alright, then I'll attack. Please back me up?"
"Wait," their Sensei told him. "Don't be hasty. I'll go. You can cover me, Kakashi."
The younger Jonin ran through hand signs quickly.
"Sensei, I am captain today, right?" the Hatake asked. "I want to try out a new jutsu I've been working on."
...My Line...
'Oh, I'm going to use it,' Kakashi thought as he leaned forward a bit making Obito to glare at him.
The future Hokage and Jonin watched interest as they have always wonder about the Chidori.
...My Line...
He looked on as the chakra become visible in his hand.
"Chidori!"
...My Line...
"Amazing," Jiraiya said. "Not bad brat."
"Thanks," the silver hair Jonin thanked.
Minato along with the adult Uchihas and Kushina narrowed their eyes.
"It is an impressive jutsu, but you still have a lot of work to do on it," the older blonde informed him.
This confused the younger ninjas though Kakashi was the most confused.
...My Line...
The Iwa ninja watched in confusion.
'Huh? What is doing?'
...My Line...
'Wow!' Obito thought in awe. 'What is that jutsu?'
'Incredible chakra,' the Nohara thought also in awe.
The blonde haired Sensei looked at the jutsu with narrow eyes.
"Here goes," the silver haired pre-teen said only for Minato to hold his hand out to stop him. "No matter, how many there are I know I can take them out in an instant with this jutsu. It's exactly just like your nickname Sensei. Besides you said it yourself, right now I'm the captain, not you and the rules clearly state that a team must obey it's captain's orders, Sensei."
The Namikaze lowered his hand and the Hatake took off as the other two shielded themselves.
"I can't believe that he'll try a frontal attack," the Iwa ninja said to himself.
He then threw weapons at Kakashi only for Minato to block them with Shuriken to keep them from hitting the boy.
'Thanks to those Kunai attacks I know exactly where he is,' the silver haired Jonin thought. 'Here I come!'
'He's fast,' the Iwa ninja thought as he ducked a kunai only to get hit by Kakashi's attack.
'Huh?' Kakashi thought in surprise when the enemy vanished in a puff of smoke. 'A Shadow Clone. Then onto the next one.'
While he was taking Shadow Clones, both Obito and Rin were looking for any more enemies while walking, however, it was just in front of the Uchiha when an Iwa Shinobi appeared from the ground scaring the Chunin before Minato stepped in using a kunai and ma de him disappear in a pu ff of smoke.
"Don't let your guard down," Minato told him.
"Yes, sir," Obito said with tears in his eyes .
They then turned to watch Kakashi near the real one.
'Number 18,' Kakashi thought.
"Don't push your luck brat!" the Iwa Ninja yelled as he swung his sword only for Minato to pull Kakashi out of the way while marking the guy.
...My Line...
'I see what Sensei meant now,' the pre-teen thought with a sigh. "I guess it's back to the drawing board.
"Don't worry about it Kakashi," the blonde informed him. "I'll give you hand with it."
"Thank you, Minato-Sensei," the Hatake thanked.
At this Obito just growled lowly in the back of his throat making Itachi to look up at him in worry.
...My Line...
"Kakashi!" the brunette gasped as their Sensei reappeared with the boy before he stood up as Rin got to work on helping t he silver hair Jonin.
The enemy shinobi quickly hide unaware that he was as good as dead.
'I was able to counter that brat just barely, but the way the blonde moved…'
'I marked him,' the Namikaze thought as he removed his backpack.
The older Konoha Jonin vanished before his pack hit the ground as he appeared behind the enemy.
'Sensei's teleportation jutsu is so fast,' the Nohara thought in awe.
"It's impossible," the Iwa Ninja said. "It can't be you...the Yellow Flash of the Hidden Leaf. In the Village Hidden in the Stones, we were warned that we must flee if we caught the very sight of you. Now I understand why."
...My Line...
"Impressive as ever Minato," the Toad Sage praised with a laugh.
"Thanks, Sensei," her Father thanked his teacher with a smile and blush while Kushina kissed his cheek.
"Truly amazing, Minato-Sensei," Rin gashed in awe.
This only made him blush brighter then he was.
...My Line...
Rin was right in the middle of healing the Hatake's wound when the older Shinobi returned.
"Kakashi's wound is serious," he told them. "For now we'll retreat and set up camp."
"I'm fine."
"No, you aren't Kakashi," Obito stated. "It's all because you ignored Sensei's warning and charged in there you fool."
"I don't want to hear that from you," Kakashi said. "You, the Uchiha elite, who was just cowering and crying."
"I...I just got some dust in my eyes and started tearing up that's all," the Uchiha countered.
...My Line...
"Yeah right," the pre-teen scoffed making the dark hair Chunin to growl at him while Fugaku looked over at him.
"You can be a strong Ninja, Obito, if you can move past your fears," the Uchiha Clan Head informed. "After all it is your fears that are holding you back."
This surprise the male Chunin, who looked over at him, before nodding.
"Yes, Uncle," he said softly before they turned back to the screen.
...My Line...
"Then I suppose you not familiar with the 25th rule of the Shinobi conduct," Kakashi stated. "The rule says that a ninja must never show tears."
"You guys, come on," the Senju growled. "Stop it already."
"That quite enough," Minato said. "Both of you." All three of them looked at him. "Kakashi, rules and regulation are indeed important, but it doesn't mean it's all that matters. I told you, at times, you must adapt and take steps appropriate to the situation at hand."
"Ha, see!"
"Your not blameless either Obito," the Namikaze informed. "There's no way you can get dust in your eyes when your wearing goggles. It's fine to speak of self control, but you must be strong at heart, not just in your words. Now one more thing...Kakashi, in my opinion, you shouldn't use that jutsu of yours again. From what I saw it's a strike with a signal focus. It currently has speed and destruction capabilities, but it makes you move to fast to predict your opponent's attack. It's still an imperfect jutsu. Now before we part let me say this. For a Shinobi, the one important thing above all else is teamwork."
The three of them looked down at that before they went to find a spot to make camp.
...My Line...
There were nods at that from the older Ninjas around the younger Shinobi.
"That is true," Tsunade agreed with him.
"Got that right," Mikoto seconded.
Both Kakashi and Obito shared a look at that before looking away with glares making the younger female to sigh and roll her eyes.
'Boys,' she thought with a groan.
Itachi just tilted his head to the side a bit looking really confused, but kept quiet.
...My Line...
"Sensei," the dark hair Chunin spoke up as he climbed up a boulder to speak with his teacher.
"What is it, Obito?" Minato asked as he looked at the Uchiha.
Obito walked over and sat down next to the older ninja.
"Sensei, I...I know that teamwork is the most important thing of all, but when Kakashi keeps belittling me, rubbing my nose in my lack of discipline, I..." he trailed off a bit. "Um...no, what I mean to say is I might have been born into the elite Uchiha Clan, but I am still just a failure. I admit that Kakashi is an awesome guy, but...
...My Line...
"Ok, first things first, you are not a failure," Fugaku stated. "As said before you can be a strong Ninja if you can move past your fears." The young Uchiha Chunin looked at him. "And lastly, I am proud of you for putting your pride aside to admit what you think of Kakashi."
This made him blush red as he got smiles from his crush.
...My Line...
"Kakashi's Father is Sakumo Hatake," Minato stated. "The genius ninja feared as Konoha no Shiro Kiba. In his time even the Legendary Sannin pale in comparison. With having spent his earlier childhood beside a genius like that it's hardly a surprise that Kakashi standards for other people and his teammates are unnaturally high."
"Konoha no Shiro Kiba?" Obito asked. "You know, come to think of it I've heard of him before. He was that hero, who died protecting the village. But, Kakashi never mentioned a signal word about that."
The blonde looked at him before looking away.
"Shiro Kiba," the Namikaze said softly. "A great man that everyone looked up to especially Kakashi. At least they did until that incident."
"Incident?"
...My Line...
Kakashi stiffen at this before he looked back at Hagoromo.
"Is this really necessary?" he asked.
"Yes," he answered.
This made him huff in annoyances while his teammates looked at him confused as the adults all had looks of sadness in their eyes.
...My Line...
"Honestly, I'm not entirely sure it's my place to tell you the story, but since your Kakashi's teammate, I believe that you should know about it."
"What happened?"
"Kakashi's Father, Sakumo, took his own life after he was vilified by everyone around him," the Jonin answered.
...My Line...
"Kakashi?"
"What?"
His teammates gave him looks of shock that he ignored while Itachi wondered why anyone would do something like that to someone else.
...My Line...
"What?"
"5 years ago, he lead a top secret mission behind enemy lines," Minato informed. "It went bad and he had one of two choices. Either save the mission or his comrades. Of course, according to the laws of the village, you cannot abandon the mission. But, to save the life of his comrades, Kakashi's Father put the mission on hold, however, a great deal of damage was resulted in the end. Both the Land of Fire and his peers blamed him for everything and on top of all that, even the people he rescued turned on him and slandered him. The ordeal took it's toll on Sakumo, physically and mentally until finally...he took his own life. Since that day, Kakashi refused to utter a word about his Father. He devoted himself to the laws and regulations of the village. Obito, please try to understand...even just a little. Kakashi really does meanwhile."
The Uchiha looked back at his teammates though he mostly looked at Kakashi.
...My Line...
Both Rin and Obito shared a look as they knew that they had do something to help their teammate before looking back at the screen.
...My Line...
The next morning could find Team Minato getting ready to split up into two groups though Rin was checking on Kakashi's wound before the did.
"It's healing nicely, but don't overexert yourself or you'll reopen the wound," Rin told him. "Okay?"
"Yeah."
"Alright, let's go," Minato spoke up.
"Right."
...My Line...
The team soon stood in a forest of bamboos while the Namikaze stood in front of the pre-teens.
"This is where we go our separate ways," the blonde stated. "Do your best all of you. Listen, the enemy that we encounter yesterday was merely a lone scout, but we should expect to fight teams. Be careful."
"Let's get going then..." Obito said before swallowing his pride. "Captain."
...My Line...
"Well, done, Obito," Minato told him with a nod.
"I am proud of you, sweetie," Mikoto told him. "Both Fugaku and I."
"Your Aunt is right," the said male agreed with a nod.
At this the 12-year-old blushed a bright red especially when the Nohara gave him a bright smile while Itachi giggled and clapped his hands together.
...My Line...
All three of his teammates looked at him in surprise though the Namikaze smiled at him after a bit.
"Alright. Let's go."
"Yes, sir."
"Scatter!"
With that the group split up with Kakashi's group stopping to look at the map every once and in awhile and to avoid traps.
...My Line...
Two Iwa ninjas watched as the three pre-teens walked across a stream keeping their guard up.
"Hey..." an Iwa ninja says. "Mahiru went on a scouting running and he hasn't come back yet. You don't think that those three little brats took him down do ya?"
"Let's go ask," the second Iwa Shinobi said. "Come on. Camouflaged Jutsu."
...My Line...
"Well, that's a troubling jutsu," Jiraiya stated.
The brown hair Chunin narrowed her eyes as she watched as she got a bad feeling.
...My Line...
Kakashi pulled to a stop before he sniffed the air before logs came flying at them to which Obito quickly went through a set a set of hand signs.
'Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!'
It was thanks to his quick thinking that stopped the logs that fell into the water as the redhead looked around.
...My Line…
"Nicely done Obito," the two Uchiha adults praised.
"Thank you," the dark hair Chunin said with a blush.
...My Line...
It was then that an Iwa ninja appeared and took on Kakashi while the second one sneak up on the female and it was her screams that had her two teammates looking over at her in surprise and shock.
"We'll be taking this one with us," the one, who was holding the out cold Rin , stated as he partner appeared at his side.
"Wait!" Kakashi yelled as the two enemy Shinobi threw down a smoke bomb and left.
"No!" the Uchiha growled as he went to follow.
"Obito, don't go after them!" the Hatake called out.
"What?" the dark hair pre-teen asked as he looked back. "Are you crazy? Do you have any idea what your saying Kakashi?"
"Yes," the Jonin answered. "The two of us will finish this mission alone."
...My Line...
"WHAT!" Obito yelled as he turned glares onto the silver hair male while moving to stand up. "Kakashi!"
"Obito, calm down," Rin ordered him. "This is not the time to start something."
"Rin's right Obito," Minato ordered.
"Stay in your seat, Obito," the Sarutobi ordered having decided to speak up at last.
The dark hair Chunin grumbled under his breath as he did as the Sandaime told him to do while still glaring at the Hatake.
...My Line...
"And Rin ? What do we do about Rin , huh?"
"We'll come back for her later," Kakashi answered. "Look the enemy would to find out what we're up to, so they won't kill her right away. Luckily, Rin is a medic, thus even if she ends up as a prisoner of war, she'll be treated well. As long as she cares for their wounded she'll be safe, but we'll be in serious trouble if the enemy has time to learn what out strategy is. If they do obtain that information they'll no doubt increase the security on the bridge right away. That would make our mission much more difficult."
"But, your only assuming that Rin will be safe based on these guesses of yours!" Obito yelled. "What if those guys, who caught her are just no bodies, who don't know any better! Look, saving Rin takes priority over the mission and that's that!"
"We are Shinobi. We must carry out our missions even at the cost of our comrades lives. That's the law. If we fail, the war will drag on and more lives then just Rin 's will be lost."
"That's just another one of your guesses!" the Uchiha growled. "Your willing to desert her for a mere hypothesis? How can you abandon one, who been through life and death with you?! When we were wounded Ami saved our lives with her medical ninjutsu. Without her the two of us would have died in the fields a long time ago!"
" Rin was doing her job like we must," Kakashi stated.
This made Obito to punch him in the jaw.
...My Line...
"Ok, I really take back what I said before," Tsunade said as she blinked. "You keep their arguments from turning into fist fights."
This had Rin laughing nervously before letting out a sigh.
...My Line...
"I don't like you and I never will!"
"I don't care if you do or not," the Hatake told him. "I'm the captain right now. You will obey my decisions, Obito. Whatever, the circumstances one person along makes the decisions to keep the team together. That's why we have the rule that all team members must obey the captain without question. Obito, you have no power that's why I'm the captain of this team and you aren't."
The Uchiha then grabbed Kakashi by the strips that held a tanto to his back and yanked him up.
"Then why won't you try and save Rin , yourself?" the Chunin asked. "It means that you have power to rescue your teammate. Isn't that right Kakashi?"
...My Line...
"I don't want you two to fight over me," the 12-year-old female Chunin informed them. "So, if I do get taken then just continue the mission.
"Say what?" the Uchiha Chunin asked in shock. "But, Rin…"
"No, Obito," the brunette pre-teen said as she looked at him. "Just listen to Kakashi should I still get taken by the enemy."
Onyx eyes meet chocolate brown eyes before Obito sighed and nodded his head.
"Okay," he mumbled.
That got a beaming smile from his crush making him blush red before they looked back.
...My Line...
"If you give into your emotions even for a moment and fail your mission, you'll regret it sooner then you know," the Jonin stated. "That's why shinobi have rules. That's why we're taught that we must surpass our emotions. You should already know that."
"But, Rin , she was so concern for your well being that she put together that special med-kit for you," Obito stated. "She even sowed a protective amulet inside it!"
"The med-kit and medical ninjutsu are great systems that Konoha developed to increase the success rate of your missions," Kakashi stated. "Just like I told you yesterday Obito, better nothing at all then a useless burden."
"Useless burden?" Obito asked.
The Hatake nodded his head.
"To carry out a mission a ninja should only have tools necessary for the task at hand. Useless things like emotions get the way."
"Do you really mean that? Do you honestly believe that, Kakashi?"
"Yes," was the answer Obito got after a bit. "I do."
"Just forget it," the Uchiha growled. "We'll never agree. We're like oil and water. I'm going to rescue Rin ."
He let go of the Jonin and started to walk away.
"You don't understand, Obito," Kakashi said. "You don't know what happens to people, who breaks the rules."
"I believe that the Shiro Kiba was a true hero," Obito stated when he stopped.
...My Line...
Kakashi snapped his head over to his teammate in shock only to see him smiling a little bit as he watched before turning back.
...My Line...
"Your right that in the ninja world those, who break the rules and laws, are regarded as scum, but..." the Uchiha trailed off as he looked over his shoulder. "Those, who abandon even one of their friends, are fare worst then scum. I'm scum anyway, so I'm going to chose to break the rules. If doing so will somehow make me less of a Shinobi." He started to walk away again. "Then I'm just going to go and crush all the real Shinobi."
