Author's Note:

For those who aren't familiar with Naruto, I will briefly explain that these pairs are not at all canon. In fact, even pairing them together can be described as twisted, given how Obito killed Konan in an unsightly way. Let's take a moment to breathe and sit back. So, how exactly am I going to write this? I ponder. We're just going to have to find out.

Preface: The Underworld

After I escaped from the neverending darkness, cold rain water taps against my face. Has there always been rain in the Underworld? Is this truly how it ends?

"I've been waiting for you,"

Her cold, wet hands touched the side of my right face, and my vision was unclear because I was on the verge of going blind.

"Uchiha Obito, or should I say Tobi?"

Without warning, she transferred some of her chakras to me. She takes off the cloak that she is wearing and wraps it around me. It smells of imparting a faint vanilla aroma—the scent of paper.

"Do I know you?" I ask,

She paused a second too long. Making a scornfully derisive grating noise as if I had just offended her.

"Oh, how the Shinigamis reward me."

I had no idea what she meant by that. She moved her hand from touching my face, and even though it was blurry, she took my hand.

Chapter One: How it began

I died at the hands of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and was greeted in the afterlife by Rin. Ultimately, I became that 13-year-old boy again. Rin was a sweet and friendly girl; she was beautiful to me in every aspect that defined beauty. I loved her bright and caring personality. I am no stranger to Rin's cheerful disposition. Even in the afterlife, my dominant feelings for Rin are factual. Such painful tingling agony registers as suffering. Perhaps, I did not get the chance to confess correctly. Although Rin had initially had feelings for Kakashi, she did, however, wait for me; all this time, I'll make sure that she understands my genuine feelings. The bright euphoric tingly in my stomach is all there. Even after death, my heart beats for Rin, only Rin.

"Obito?" Rin says as she leans in her face close to see me.

I blushed, knowing my body was that of someone 31 years old. But in spirit, the numbers are reversed.

"Let's go,"

Rin's hand clasped with mine, and even though I had accepted death, I had no idea that there was a whole other realm beyond these portals.

"Rin, there's something that I have to tell you," I say,

A smile curls on her lips, and she lets go of my hand and giggles.

"Oh...Obito, you don't have to say it; I have always been watching you."

I turned around and checked my surroundings before initiating a kiss. Kakashi's not going to die and pop out of nowhere and interrupt this moment, is he?

No matter, it's now or never. Who knows what will happen when we cross over?

"Rin, I -uh- can I..K...Kiss you?" My face flustered as I saw her already shutting her eyes with her lips puckered. I lean in and suddenly hear the sound of someone clearing their throat. I turned around and there stood the fallen shinobi from the fourth great ninja war—one of Uzumaki Naruto's friends, the man with the pale eyes. That Hyuga Branch Clan's Curse Mark that was once just there disappeared.

"Just pretend I'm not here; go on, do what you were going to do."

I felt tight in my stomach; this was not how I imagined it would be. Why couldn't it have been someone else? Wait, no, it would've been worst if it were someone from my generation; I could imagine Might Guy grinning and giving me his thumbs up. No, erase it; how disgusting. I can't let this cloud my thinking.

"I'm Neji; let's meet again in the next life," Neji says, putting his fist out for me to bump it.

"Obito...Uchiha Obito, I'll be waiting," I smiled as I bumped fists with him.

Neji smiles as he enters through those large golden doors. I was technically a kid again, so the kiss should be innocent. I pulled Rin in, and it was just then that our lips finally touched.

Both of us stepped through and fell instantly; the force was too strong that it separated us. My body hit the cement ground; that is all I could remember.

I awoke in a prison cell. The person across from me is Nagato. I look to my left and see a whole bunch of other men. I gasp and felt it in my thoughts immediately. This is the Underworld.

"Nagato, is that you?" I whispered,

He looks at me but doesn't recognize me or know who I am. I stretched my hand out and tried to validate if I were 13 or 31 now. There's only one way to verify that. I pulled the elastic from my waist, and suddenly Nagato answered me.

"Do I know you from somewhere?"
