I KNOW I HAVE OTHER STORIES, I'm in the process of write more chapters for those stories but I've just fallen in love with writing this one so much. I'll do my best to do some writing for those soon. BTW Gonzo was a reference to Gonzo Tarukane from Yu Yu Hakusho. He was a rather minor villain so I'm not surprised that nobody got it. Enjoy.

Naomi sat in the darkness of her room, her face was still wet with tears of both rage, frustration and despair. Her daughter was out with a group of her friends celebrating her victory, she truly wished she could be there with her little girl to celebrate with her as well. She knew however Pyrrha would notice how upset she was and it would ruin her good time. As she sat her scroll began ringing, she looked at it and didn't recognize the number so she ignored it.

The scroll finished ringing and after a few seconds began ringing again, again she ignored it. Finally on the third call she grit her teeth and grabbed it. "WHAT!" She screeched with as much venom as she could muster.

"Good evening Ms. Nikos." Her blood began heating up simply from the familiar voice, it was Gonzo. "I apologize for calling you so late, I'm sure after our earlier conversation I'm also the last person you'd want to hear from but I have something you need to hear." She didn't respond as the sound of several papers could be heard on the end. "Ah here it is. It would appear that your late husband had secretly set a large sum of money away in a savings account that amassed a rather large amount of interest. The total sum is enough to completely pay off your debt plus interest, the reason I hadn't known about this sooner was because a member of my team had attempted to hide it from me in order to keep it for himself. I assure you that that will be dealt with accordingly. The money you provided earlier tonight will soon be returned to you, have a good night." Before she could reply the call ended and she was left staring at the device with a look of complete shock and confusion.

After nearly ten minutes she dropped the scroll and fell to her knees and sobbed louder and harder than she had in years.

Elsewhere

"The money you provided earlier tonight will soon be returned to you, have a good night." Obito said before ending the call, his voice was nearly identical to the old man who was currently laying face down dead on the blood soaked floor. The voice changing jutsu was easily one of his favorite and it was easy to cast, just focus some chakra in the vocal chords and work it around until you had the right pitch, it was how he managed to pull off a voice as deep as Madara's at only fourteen.

Tossing the scroll over his shoulder he grabbed the bag of cash off a nearby desk, several more mutilated corpses littered the second story room. Using kamui he took in the bag and began walking towards the stairs, two more goons laid dead on the staircase both dripping more blood. Once he reached the bottom floor of the jewelry store he reached into his pocket and pulled out a red dust crystal he'd taken from one of the goons he'd killed. Stepping into the main lobby he walked through yet another sea of corpses and blood.

Focusing some chakra into the crystal he tossed it behind him, just before it exploded he disappeared with Kamui. Several seconds later he reappeared outside a standard looking hotel. Entering the lobby he ignored the looks of recognition he got from everyone who had watched the tournament finals. Approaching the front desk Obito didn't even give the clerk a chance to speak before making eye contact with his active sharingan and placing him under a genjutsu. Setting the bag on the counter he turned and walked back out of the building.

Six Months Later

Kakashi panted heavily as he held on tightly to the rocks, his legs were bound tightly with rope. With great effort he lifted himself up through the falling water of the tall waterfall, grabbing the next rock he began lifting himself again only for the rock to come lose and fall to the river below. Kakashi took a few moment to calm himself and adjust his grip.

Grabbing another rock he continued upwards, it was slow going. The waterfall was only about sixty five to seventy feet high but it had still taken the boy nearly an hour to get to the fifty foot mark. Then of course there was the temperature of the water, it was the middle of winter and the water felling on him was easily below freezing, the only reason he was dying of hypothermia already was the fact that he was circulating his chakra through his body to keep it from freezing. The down side to this was that it required a lot of concentration and didn't leave room for enhancing his strength.

He continued at this slow pace for another twenty minutes before finally reaching the top and pulling himself over the edge where he began gasping for much needed air. After a few minutes of rest he sat himself up and untied his legs, his entire body was shivering heavily. The tips of his fingers were throbbing, early stages of frost bite. Circulating chakra could only do so much it seemed.

Standing to his feet he walked over to the edge of the cliff next to the waterfall and took a deep breath before he began walking down it. Reaching the bottom he walked over to where he left his bag and quickly stripped off all of his clothing and dried himself off before redressing in a set of dry clothes. After packing everything up he began jogging.

Patch wasn't a huge island but it was still large, even at a shinobi's pace it took him over an hour to reach the outskirts of town. From there he continued at a much more normal pace until he reached his apartment, grabbing the handle he noted that it was unlocked. He knew why but still raised his guard as he pushed it open. Just as expected he found a familiar blonde sitting on his couch next to a pair of other girls he didn't recognize, sitting on the ground was Ruby. All four were holding controllers and were playing a fighting game on his TV.

With a tired sigh Kakashi shook his head and entered dropping his bag next to the door. "Yang, what did I tell you about using my apartment as a hangout for you and your friends?" He asked the girl as he walked over to the kitchenette and placed a kettle of water on the stove.

"Well at first you kept telling me not to, but after the first month you just told me to clean up when I'm done." She answered. "By the way these are Olive and Cerulean, some friends from Signal."

He noticed both girls were now eyeing him up and down with hungry eyes. "Hi, well I'm gonna take a shower and take a nap, try and keep it down for me." He told her before entering his room and locking the door behind him before moving towards the bathroom and hopping in the shower. He was done within five minutes and threw on some shorts, a T-shirt, and his scarf and headband. Exiting his room his quickly walked over to his stove and poured some of the now boiling water from the kettle into a cup of tea. He then reentered his room and crawled into his bed with his hot tea.

Outisde in his living room Yang sat with her friend and Ruby who was also the only other person focusing on the game. "So that was the famous Kakashi you're always talking about. I'll admit when you said your boyfriend always wore a mask and covered his eye I thought you were kidding." Olive laughed.

"He's not my boyfriend, we're just friends." Yang only blushed slightly.

"Normally I'd tell you to be careful cuz he looks kinda sketchy, but you said he's a civilian right?" Cerulean asked.

"Yeah, and again we're not dating." Yang repeated.

"Yeah yeah, but still, at least if he ever tries anything you know you can kick his butt." Olive continued where she left off. "What did you say he does again?"

"He's a dog trainer." Ruby answered. "He's really good to." She smiled.

"Yeah, he's the head dog trainer at that shop in town." Yang nodded.

"Huh, cute and has a job. Well if you two aren't dating you should start quick. Someone else might snatch him up otherwise." Olive giggle as Yang sent a glare at her.

Argus

Obito sat on a rafter high above the combat arena where a dozen or so student watched as match being fought in the ring, a simple camouflage genjutsu hid him completely from sight as he watch a certain redhead fight. He didn't really know why he came to watch, nor did he know why he did the same thing several times a week since he fought her during the tournament. Every time he looked at her though he felt a small ache where his arm once was, over time the ache had grown and yet he could help but continue going to watch.

A part of him deep down knew that this was straight up stalker behavior, watching her without her knowing, even if he only ever watched her fight. Shortly after the tournament he'd noticed her and her mothers living situation get better and better. No doubt thanks to the money she made off the tournament and that he'd returned to her from Gonzo. There had been a brief investigation over the slaughter of the man and all his henchmen but not a lot could be found at the scene. After blowing up the dust crystal the entire building was set ablaze, apparently crime bosses don't care much for fire codes, and almost all the evidence was destroyed.

They tried looking into the mans business dealings but again could find anything, that was one of the advantages of being a virtual ghost. He wasn't in any systems anywhere on Remnant, no finger prints, no DNA file, no dental, medical history, with the exception of Kakashi and anyone he may have told nobody on the planet even knew his name. He basically didn't exist. This meant it was all but impossible to tie anything at all to him.

Still, being a ghost was a lonely way to live. A part of him wanted nothing more than to go down and makes friends with the girl he'd been watching all this time, talk to her, tell her his name. But no, he couldn't do that, it didn't bring him any closer to his goal of finding and killing Kakashi so it wasn't needed. Closing his eye he shook his head before raising his arm and grasping the the stump that was once his arm.

Before his thoughts could continue any further however Obito felt incredible pain explode across his chest, he tried to take a breath but found his lungs ignoring his commands. He then noticed that he had lost his balance and was falling, it was an incredibly odd sensation really, time felt like it was moving a million miles at a time while also nearly standing still. Obito touched the spot on his chest where the pain had originated from and felt warmth, looking at his hand he saw a very large amount of red. Then he felt himself slam into something hard followed by the sound of screaming, then the world went black.

Later

Obito couldn't move, his body wouldn't respond to anything as his eye creaked open. After a vision cleared a bit he took a moment to look around, he knew exactly where he was. How he got there however he hadn't the slightest clue. The old training grounds he and his team had always used, he was currently laying against a large tree. "Obito, you plan on just sitting there all day?" He heard a familiar voice. With great effort he turned his head towards the source. Minato stood leaning against another tree. "You'll never become Hokage like that." The blonde man laughed.

"Sensei." Obito whispered. "No, you're dead. I killed you."

"Minato's right punk." Another voice spoke as Kushina stepped out from behind the same tree Minato was leaning on.

"Kushina... I killed you to." Obito said without noticing the tears now streaming down his face. "Why are you smiling at me like that?" He asked the two as he sent the strongest glare he could muster at them. "I took everything from you! I took you home, your dreams, your son and your lives! LOOK AT ME LIKE YOU HATE ME DAMMIT!" He screamed.

The pair only looked at each other with sad smiles before Kushina walked over and knelt down in front of the boy. She took his face into her hand with a smile. "It wasn't your fault, you're just a boy forced into a grown ups world." She pulled him into her arms, Obito could help but taken in the familiar scent of the woman who'd always treated him like a younger brother. It caused cracks to form in the wall he'd created around his emotions. "You're an angry hurt boy with nobody to lean on for support." Raising his face to look at her she smiled. "It's okay to fell Obito."

Before he could reply his eye shot open and he forced himself to sit up before sobs began wracking his body, everything he'd held back since Rin's death, everything came flooding out as he cried out in pure anguish. He was so distracted he never even notice the pair of arms wrapping around him before his consciousness began to fade once again.

So to anyone wondering, yes Obito is acting stalkerish, which I think is very fitting. He's an emotionally damaged kid with know real idea how to approach anyone and hold a conversation. Leave me a review and tell me what you all think. LATER.
