So I finally updated the pairings and changed it to adventure/romance, a lot of you were bugging me about that. I guess some of you don't really like the romance of the fic, I really enjoy writing it so it's not going anywhere. I know many of you also enjoy it, but I'm trying to keep a balance between savageness and fluff, most of said savageness coming from Obito. Enjoy.

Obito walked through the front gates of the small settlement of Kuchinashi, his mask firmly in place on his face. This was a din of thieves, killers and corruption, exactly the kind of place he was looking for. If he was going to find information on a group of bandits then who better to ask than other criminals.

Normally he'd get several weird looks while walking through a town looking the way he did but in a town like this people knew better than to stare for to long, instead they simply kept their heads down and minded their own business. Even when he walked into the towns tavern the people only glanced towards him for a few moments, likely simply getting a read on whether he was a threat. It all honestly reminded him of Konoha, at least of the shinobi bars of the village. People just wanted to drink and relax, sure they'd keep an eye on you but as long as you didn't start trouble nobody would bother you, for the most part at least.

Walking up to the bar Obito sat down on a stool between two shady looking men, then again everyone here looked shady Obito included. A bear of a man walked over to him. "What'll it be?" He asked.

Obito pulled out a thick stack of lien and set it on the bar. "Information." He replied in Madara's voice.

The man looked him over for a few seconds before grabbing the stack and quickly looking the currency over, once he was satisfied he placed it under the bar top and leaned in close to Obito. "What?"

"The Branwen tribe, where is it?" He asked, almost immediately the two men on either side of him stood up and walked out. They'd been the only ones close enough to hear him other than the barkeep who now looked pale.

Reaching under the bar top he grabbed the cash Obito had just given him and placed it back on the counter top. "Can't help you, get out." He turned to walk away but was stopped by Obito grabbing his arm.

"You will tell me, one way or another." His sharingan lit up behind his mask as he made eye contact with the man. A few seconds later the mans eyes glazed over.

"The Branwen tribe can be found fifty two miles west of here, their set up a few hundred meters off of a river." He spoke at normal volume, at this everyone in the bar made a beeline for the exit. Obviously none of them wanted anything to do with this.

"And how do you know this?" Obito asked.

"I made a large delivery of alcohol there earlier this week." He sounded almost robotic in his tone.

Nodding Obito stood up and quickly exited the bar and looked to the west.

Patch

Kakashi stood about twenty feet from the rock wall, large chunks of the stone look as though it had been scooped out and was singed black. He panted heavily and wiped sweat from his brow. He began flipping through hand signs. "Lightning Blade!" He shouted before launching himself at the rock wall, his hand tore into the stone several inches before the light faded.

Kakashi fell to one knee and tried to catch his breath. "Five." He said between breaths as he looked over the carnage around him. He'd managed five of the jutsu before he ran dry of chakra, that however was without his sharingan to assist him. Like always the Lightning Blade caused tunnel vision making it an extremely dangerous jutsu to use on it's own. With the assistance of his eye he could negate the negative affects of the jutsu though it still drained his chakra, with it he'd guess he had two, maybe three uses per day before he ran out of gas.

Picking himself up he stumbled over to the small pack he left leaning against a nearby tree, reaching in he pulled out a bottle of water and quickly drained it. This was the first time he'd decided to give his chakra a real work out since coming to Remnant, he'd forgotten the satisfaction he felt after working himself to exhaustion like this. He remained laid back for another twenty minutes before picking himself up once again and grabbing all of his stuff and began the walk back to the Xiao Long house.

He knew he'd be drained of chakra once he was done so he made sure not to venture to far out this time, he was only about two miles away. If he kept up a brisk walk he'd likely make it back in about half an hour.

For a shinobi, even one drained of chakra, a walk like this was as relaxing as a nap. He pulled out a pack of nuts and began chewing them as he walked. Within fifteen minutes he exited the forest onto the road that ran between town and the house. He was about to continue walking when he heard a loud roaring sound headed in his direction, turning to face the source he saw a dust cloud moving along the dirt road.

It began slowing down as it approached him and came to a halt, Yang lifted the visor on her helmet and looked him up and down. "I've been looking for you, hop on." She nodded towards the back seat. Shrugging Kakashi hopped on and wrapped his arms around her waist, he'd ridden with her before and wasn't about to pretend that he wasn't afraid of the girl behind a wheel. "Eww, you're all sweaty! What have you been doing?"

"Working out, the doctor said I was good to go." Kakashi answered as she took off.

"Well hopefully the wind will cool you off on the way back." The rest of the way back only took about two minute, it would've been shorter if Yang hadn't insisted on preforming several tricks. Once they finally pulled up next to the house and hopped off Yang shouted. "RUBY, GET OUT HERE! I FOUND HIM!"

Kakashi raised an eyebrow, after another minute or so Ruby came trudging out looking less than happy. She was wearing a black and red tank top and sweat pants, on her feet were a pair of sneakers. "I'm not gonna like this am I?" Kakashi asked his newly official girlfriend.

"Oh you two are both such babies." She waved him off. "Ruby here is grounded because she not only failed her hand to hand test, she did the worst in the whole class." She said gesturing to her pouting little sister. "And you." She sent a glare at Kakashi. "You were nearly killed by a robber of all things!" Crossing her arms she puffed out her chest, something Kakashi hated to admit he'd started to take great notice of since they got together. It seemed even rigorous shinobi training from a young age couldn't stamp out a teenage boys hormones completely. "So starting today, you two will be taking classes in hand to hand self defense twice a week from me."

Kakashi was really starting to regret his decision to keep his past as a shinobi a secret, still it was better if nobody ever knew the truth, even telling Qrow was likely to cause issues at some point. "Is this really necessary?" He asked her.

"Yes it is, now hold up your fists." She told him earning a tired sigh, he'd been looking forward to a nap after his earlier training. Raising his fists she walked over to him. "Well you know how to make a proper fist, so points there. Alright now when you throw a punch you want to put your weight behind it while also bracing yourself, watch." Yang threw a punch at the air. "See the way I turned my shoulder?"

Kakashi simply began tuning out everything she was saying, this was all stuff he learn before even joining the academy. Whenever she asked him to copy her he would do so just as she demonstrated, even when he noticed flaws in her own stance or form he'd just go through the motions as instructed. Ruby was reluctantly doing the same next to him.

This continued for nearly an hour before Yang stopped. "Alright, now for some light sparring." She said happily.

Kakashi began rolling his shoulder as he sighed again, it had been long enough for him to regain a small amount of his chakra though he doubted he'd need any of it for a simple hand to hand spar. "So whose sparring with who? Me and you, me and Ruby?" He asked getting both confused and amused looks from the pair.

"You're not sparring." Yang giggled. "You're a civilian, Ruby might suck." This earned a indignant cry from the younger girl. "But she's still a huntress in training, you wouldn't stand a chance against some one with aura. You could get hurt." Ruby nodded in agreement.

This earned conflicted feelings from the silver haired teen, on one hand he could probably go take a nap if he wanted. On the other, his pride as both a shinobi and a man were insulted by these two girls who he knew for a fact were greener than a Genin fresh from the academy. He was a Jonin, son of the leafs White Fang, trained by the forth hokage and Ex-ANBU. He had more battle experience by age eight than both of these girls combined.

He made up his mind, his eyes narrowed. "Ruby, you and me. Right now, no weapons, aura or dust." He said in a serious tone before walking a short distance away.

"Babe, didn't you hear what I just said?" Yang asked placing her hands on her hips.

"If she lands a single solid hit against me I'll concede and listen to every word you say from here on out. But if I can last three minutes you have to stop treating me like a helpless child." He said meeting his girlfriends eyes. "Deal?"

Yang looked hesitant for a few seconds. "And you'll take this more seriously from now on?" She asked.

"I swear on my parents graves." He nodded.

After a few more seconds she looked to Ruby who shrugged. "Fine, but I will step in if a think you're gonna get hurt." She gestured for Ruby to step forward.

Taking a deep breath Kakashi closed his eye, he'd wouldn't do to much, just basic Taijutsu. He didn't plan on winning, just earn a little respect. Raising two fingers in front of him her prepared the shinobi sparring symbol, the same he made while standing across from Obito so many times before. Opening his eye for a brief moment he could've sworn he saw the boy in the orange goggles standing in front of him but it was only Ruby who had her hands up looking a bit confused.

"Begin!" Yang shouted causing Kakashi to take off towards the younger girl.

He threw a standard punch which she easily managed to block and redirect, holding up her own fist Ruby threw a punch of her own at him. He didn't even need to look to tell Yang was already preparing to step in. Dropping low to avoid the blow he quickly spun around and swept the girls legs out from under her sending her to the ground. He didn't bother capitalizing on it and simply rolled away and allowed her to stand back up.

A quick glance to Yang showed surprise on her face, looking back to Ruby who now looked a bit fluster yet more cautious. Getting back into her form, which Kakashi could see needed a lot of work, she decided to take the role of attacker this time and charged him. She threw a easily read punch that Kakashi blocked followed by several more sloppy attacks before he pivoted and rammed his knee into her stomach. He held back greatly, the attack barely had enough to stagger the girl. He then did the same with a punch to the side of the girls head only meant to daze her. She stumbled a bit before regaining her bearings, she then looked at him with frustration and launched into a flurry of swings and kicks.

Each was very flawed and left her wide open for a counter attack, he managed to resist his urge to act on these and merely blocked until a few seconds after the three minute mark. He allowed one of the girls punches to hit his shoulder, it held more force than he'd expected but it was still far to weak to even be considered painful. Regardless he allowed himself to fall to the ground and groaned while rubbing his shoulder. "Alright that's enough!" Yang shouted walking over to where Kakashi sat still rubbing his shoulder.

"You never told me you knew how to fight." She said crossing her arms and looking down at him.

"My dad taught me the basics of his martial art when I was little, I've kept practicing it since then." He shrugged, it wasn't a complete lie as his father had taught him the basics of Taijutsu when he was only three. "I know enough to defend myself if needed, the 'robber' just caught me by surprise."

Yang smirked a little. "Well you're no huntsmen, but you lasted three minutes against Ruby so that's something." She then turned to Ruby who was catching her breath. "And you still need a ton of work." This earned a loud groan from the girl.

"I'm gonna hit the showers." Kakashi finally said standing up.

"Alright, me and Ruby are gonna go a couple rounds before heading in. Dad should be done with dinner soon." She nodded.

Walking inside the house Kakashi made his way to the shower as he said and quickly got in allowing the water to wash some of the fatigue from his tired body.

Mistral

Obito stood on the branch of a tall tree looking down at the encampment, his sharingan taking in every detail it could. Reaching into his cloak he pulled out his shackles and attached them to his wrists. His eyes fell on the description, he smiled lightly as he thought about the red head who gifted them to him. A light buzzing then became audible is pocket.

Pulling out his scroll his smile grew wider. "Speak of the devil. Hello?" He answered the call.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Pyrrha's voiced asked, he could tell by her tone she was tired. "I just got home from school."

Obito looked back down at the Branwen bandit camp. "Believe it or not, I'm about to attend a party." He chuckled.

There was a brief silence. "I don't believe it, you hate parties. I had to drag you to my birthday party and all you did was sit in the corner." She responded.

"That's because I'm not good with people and you know it. Besides, the host of this one has a clue to what I'm looking for." He told her as he stared at the largest tent in the camp.

"Well then I wish you look, the faster you find it the faster you come back home." Pyrrha said as the sound of running water began in the background of the call. "Well I'm about to take a shower, mind your manners while you're there. Bye."

"Later Pyr." He said before ending the call leaving him in silence, he stared at his wallpaper on his scroll. It was a picture of him and Pyrrha on a machine called a rollercoaster at an 'amusement park'. "Home huh?" He said to himself before slipping the scroll back into his pocket, a moment later he was no longer on the branch.

This is it guys, the point of no return. I have plans for this next chapter that will set in motion events that once begun cannot be stopped. Okay enough drama, leave me a review and tell me what you all think. LATER.
