Omake: Fourth of July

Summary: There were so many bottles of liquor littered along the grass, so many bright lights of fireworks. A goofy grin made its way to Obito's face, and for the first time in a long time—despite having the worst hangover ever—he was genuinely glad for a holiday.

So, yeah. Happy Fourth of July to any USA citizens who are reading. I just thought I'd import this into the story. Warnings: Drunkard Obito (again), buzzed!Kakashi, and slight KakaObi.

I got bored, wrote this up. Thought it would be nice. This event isn't included in the storyline; it's completely separate. This was mainly just to satisfy my stupid muse.

Plus I haven't done an Omake since December of 2014.

Original word count: 1.7k~

Recommended song: Anthem by Emancipator.

Enjoy my ephemeral omake :p

Omake: This Is Normal

A dramatic gasp made Obito cringe. He sighed. "Yes. It's a firework," he grumbled towards five year old Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto. The boy reached his remaining arm out to grab it, but was interrupted. "No, don't touch it."

The boy pouted. "But why not?"

Obito rolled his eyes. "Because we're in the house and the last time I gave you something flammable, Shiro complained about the smell."

Naruto pouted. "He deserved that smoke bomb."

"No excuses," Obito chided. "And no flammable indoor pranks. Not yet, you can start doing that later tonight."

"What!" Naruto cried, slapping his hand on the floor. He waved a finger at his Uchiha guardian. "Why not now?! It'll be so much fun!"

"Nope." The Uchiha shook his head. He smirked. "Remember what I said? I'd help you if you listen."

"Right," Naruto grumbled. He sighed, pushing the box of fireworks away. He pouted, giving Obito his puppy dog eyes. "Please? Please, please, please? Can I at least scare kaa-chan with firecrackers? Please, dattebayo?!"

Obito's brow ticked. He sighed; it was long, and it made him sound like he was suffering. "My goodness, you're too persistent for your own good…"

"That's not an answer!" Naruto exclaimed, waving his arm around. "Can I?!"

"Only if you find the animals Guruguru lost," Obito stated, his brow ticking. "Don't forget that they make a mess. If I find any—"

"Right, I know! Clean it before an ass whoppin' comes!" Naruto squeaked. He shot up, and ran off to start searching for the animals Guruguru "accidentally" lost.

A few seconds later, Minato's chakra signature flared as he teleported outside the door. Kakashi, Kushina and Jiraiya were with him as well, a knock on the door following. Obito grumbled something under his breath before he spoke, "Is there really any need to knock? It's open, you know."

The door hinges were slammed open, Jiraiya jumping in and laughing boisterously. "Haha, why hello there! The great Jiraiya of the Sannin has arrived!"

Zetsu's head poked out from the hallway. He glared, silently plotting something before he spoke. "You all have terrible timing."

Kushina giggled, walking in. "Sorry, sorry," she apologized. "But it's a few hours before the local firework show. I'm excited, dattebane!"

"Mhm," Minato agreed flatly. He glanced at Obito. "Where's Naruto at now?"

"Hunting."

"Hunting? Inside the house?" he questioned with a raised eye brow.

"You'd be surprised by the amount of animals Guruguru accidentally loses inside the house," Obito stated stoically and bluntly. He sighed, standing up. "And besides, it's a good game for Naruto, keeps him on his toes."

Minato looked amused, opening his mouth to say something, but was interrupted when he heard Naruto shout, "Ah-ha! I found a birds nest! And there's a bird in it! Wow! Can we keep it, Obito-nii?!" A squeak and a squawk along with something crashing later, Naruto came out of the hallway with an amokura, the white beauty's wings tied down—curtesy of Naruto.

"We live nowhere near the sea…" Obito muttered irritably, a tick forming on his forehead. "Why the hell is an amokura here? Guruguru!"

"Busy!" Guruguru called back. His chakra signature quickly blended in, making him disappear, and making Obito even more annoyed.

"So? Can we keep it?" Naruto asked, holding the bird in his right hand.

"I would say yes if we lived by the sea, which we don't," Obito replied. "So let it go. You still have yet to find those frogs."

"Right. Here." He shoved the amokura into Jiraiya's arms, running off to go find said frogs.

The Uchiha turned his head, his one-eyed gaze following the miniature blonde. "And don't forgot the toads—"

"I won't!"

"—and then there's a cockatoo somewhere in the house!" Obito said, raising his voice to reach the five year old. "Don't kill any of them!"

"'Kay!" Naruto called from Zetsu's room.

Kakashi joined Obito's side, mirth in his eye. He grabbed his the collar of his friends shirt, dragging him away with an eye smile. "Away to the liquor store!"

Obito glared at the Hatake as he was being dragged out the door. "Wha—"

"Alright," Minato said, purposely interrupting his former student. He smiled, half evil, half amused—a smile Obito was all too familiar with. He waved, grinning. "Have fun~!"

Later that night, Kakashi and Obito ended up on a cliff of the mountain, gaining a large overview of a Yamamoto no Sato, the village that Naruto and Obito would visit now and then. It was also the village Sasuke and Sakura were raising Sarada, and where most of Naruto's friends were at. Some were travelers who didn't like human contact and just so happened to sleep nearby, some were people who lived out in Yamamoto no Sato Hatake. It was a peaceful place, but of course, Naruto ruins it with his pranks every once in a while.

And, every once in a while, Obito—being a lightweight and all. Kakashi was only buzzed after five bottles. He wasn't planning on his sixth, though. Obito was on his seventh; the bottles littered the grass surrounding the log, Obito sitting against it and doubling over in a random belly laugh. Kakashi sat where he was awkwardly, his brow twitching in annoyance.

The Hatake didn't know what appeared to be so funny to the Uchiha—he had suddenly started laughing hysterically, on the verge of his nose touching the dirt. Already, his nose was buried in the grass as he laughed. "'The hell is so funny?" Kakashi asked.

Obito took a moment to stop laughing, sighing and getting rid his tears of laughter. But he had a goofy grin on his face—one that was foreign to be seen and felt. He finally took a last breath before he spoke, "I feel weird."

"…You're not gonna throw up, are you? At this rate, I honestly think you have alcohol poison. Does Sakura need to pump your stomach?" Kakashi teased lightly.

He hiccuped, though it sounded more like he was burping and sucking in air at the same time. "Wha—" he was interrupted by another hiccup, "—what makes ya' thi' 'at?"

"Now you're slurring over your words," the Hatake mumbled.

Obito hiccuped again, giggling and swaying slightly. "Wha~t yer talking about."

Kakashi sighed. "I dunno what'cha just said but Imma take it as—" he burped, interrupting himself mid sentence. He blinked dumbly before speaking again, "…'Xcuse me."

Obito laughed again, this time rolling over and holding his stomach again. "Ha! Y-you—" another hiccup, "—ya sounded so stupid!"

"Shaddup," Kakashi shot back. "I sound perfectly awesome!"

"That's my line!"

"Pfft, no…"

"Yes! That's my line!"

"I dunno what'cha talken 'bout." Kakashi gave the drunk Uchiha an eye smile. He lost all of his air when, seemingly all of a sudden, Obito hopped on him, his arms wrapping around his neck. Kakashi fell onto his back, irritated, blushing and alarmed all at once. "Ge—"

"No," Obito interrupted childishly, giggling and rubbing his cheek again Kakashi's own masked cheek. He giggled again. "I still feel weird."

"That's nice. Just don't throw up on me…" Kakashi grumbled. "And get—"

"No way!" Obito laughed, resting his cheek on Kakashi's chest and going silent.

The Hatake's ears were burning, heated enough to feel like he was next to a fire. "S-seriously…get off…"

Obito simply grumbled something, rubbing his face into Kakashi's vest even further and staying there. The Hatake sighed in defeat, letting his head rest on the ground.

Neither of them moved until they heard the loud booming of fireworks, colors flashing everywhere. Kakashi turned his head towards the view—trails of smoke were left behind, many colors reflecting off of the remnants of fireworks. He visibly relaxed at the sight; it was…soothing. The colors were wild, and they were mesmerizing. But he twitched when he felt Obito's head shift, eye turning towards the show. Kakashi sighed. "Are you ever going to get off?"

A small, near-unnoticeable twitch at his lips was the jōnin's only physical response. Obito re-buried his face into Kakashi's vest, his voice muffled as he spoke, "Nope."

Kakashi sighed again. "This isn't normal…"

His only response was a muffled chuckle, and the loud bang of a firework.

"Incidentally", they stayed there silently, shifting only to get change positions slightly every now and then. Obito had fallen asleep—or was trying to—and Kakashi was stuck underneath him. So he just settled with his fingers gently playing with dark locks. Soon enough, the yellow moon exposed itself, stars littering the sky thanks to the world around them quieting down and shutting off the lights, provided some thin sheets of smoke still blocked some places of the stars.

Sunlight started shining, and soon enough, the sun rose over the horizon behind the mountain, rising the birds and animals around them. The grass was dampened, and Kakashi was cold—but not shivering, thanks to…cuddling, which embarrassed him. A lot. Hurt his pride as a cold-hearted killer. He was tired, but he wasn't exhausted. He was content right where he was, and it scared him, because the last time he was happy like he was was when Sakumo fulfilled his promise to return from the vital mission alive.

A small, sad smile worked its way up to his lips, but he promptly ignored it.

Besides, his peace and quiet was ruefully interrupted when he heard a familiar voice shout as loud as the vocals could allow.

"FIRE. IN. THE. HOLE~!"

He smiled brightly, breaking out into silent laughter as he heard Naruto's loud shout of triumph, followed by Kushina and Minato's voices. Loud bangs and cracks were heard underneath the cliff as fireworks of all sorts were let off, waking up the entire town in the process. Laughters of success rang, echoing and following the booms and loud screams of fireworks.

"Yeah, 'ttebayo!" Naruto shouted. "This is the best. Holiday. Ever!"

Obito didn't seem to agree. Slowly, he froze, growling and grumbling dark and various curses under his breath. Kakashi blinked dumbly, watching as the Uchiha stood up, walked over to the edge, leaned over, and hurled up yesterday's drinks.

Kushina and Naruto screamed. "Ew!"

Once he was finished, Obito grinned evilly down at the two. Kushina was latched onto an edge, chakra gluing her down with Naruto latched onto her back with his one remaining arm wrapped around her neck. Minato was standing a few feet away from his wife, looking grim and staring up at the grinning Uchiha. Said Uchiha's grin widened as he waved. "Happy Fourth~!"

Naruto pouted. "You ruined it dattebayo!"

Obito simply laughed, turning and walking away and making Kakashi sigh as he, too, sat up.

…I can't believe this is "normal" around here…

"Yamamoto no Sato": "The village at the base of the mountain"

"Yamamoto no Sato Hatake": "The village at the base of the mountain field"

Yes, I'm working on the next chapter. It should come out around July 10th, which'll be followed by a new chapter of TSoPG. Probably. But it's likely.

Peace! :3
