Chapter 10 - Now What?

Minato looked around. He and Kakashi had nowhere to stay, and were in a completely unknown territory. He was worried for the both of them. And Kakashi still had about a week until he was completely recovered. Maybe longer. Because now Kakashi was just wasting his Chakra with henges and unnecessary raikiris.

Minato had to get them out of here. Maybe hiraishin would work…

But it probably wouldn't. His technique was a lot different than the one Kakashi had used. He'd try anyway.

"Kakashi." He looked towards his students who was sitting behind him. "I'm going to use hiraishin to try and get us out of here, so grab on to me. And don't let go." His student complied immediately, before the words even registered in his brain completely. When they did though, Kakashi was about to protest. But before a word could get out of his mouth, they were in a completely different area.

Obito and Tenzo stood there, eyes wide, jaws dropped.

They were ruled against.

He didn't even know that could happen without a Hokage! Could it? Damn, he wished he payed more attention at the academy.

"What…? W-why?! I demand to know why!" Obito rudely yelled out. Tenzo just stared at the ground, finding it suddenly very interesting.

"First of all, you, Uchiha Obito. Your current status in Konoha is deceased, and you just happened to be found well and alive casually searching through Konoha's S-class information."

"Bu-"

"I should also mention, you were with an ex ROOT member. Previously working with Danzo, who is now in a cell, for reasons you do not have the clearance to know." Tenzo stared even harder at the ground, somehow.

"Listen, old hag!" Said 'old hag' glared at him, cold as ice. He pointedly ignored her. "I don't even know what the hell ROOT even is. If it's some pun for mokuton users, I don't appreciate it." Obito grumpily frowned, crossed his arms and just barely resisted the urge to stomp his foot. The old lady stared at him for a few more seconds before sighing.

"The point is, Uchiha. You have absolutely no reasonable claim as to why you would do what you were caught doing, with your partner." Obito rolled his eyes, she made it sound so… unreasonable, what they did. Obito would have kamui-ed outta there with Tenzo the first second they got caught, but he didn't want to cause any other reasons for them to be against him. And he really didn't want to drag Tenzo with this mess, but well, he was all Obito could count on for the moment.

Minato instantly looked around. Yet again, he did not recognize the place. Traveling a little while further though, he started to hear a crowd of people. He glanced at Kakashi, who was as clueless as he was. They both shrugged at eachother, before warily searching the area for any dangerous people, escape routes, etcetera.

"Oh no." Kakashi noticeably paled. Minato was instantly on guard.

"What is it?" He cautiously asked his student. He couldn't see anything wrong.

"Th-there's… spandex…" What the hell?

"What?"

Kakashi shakily raised a finger. He looked towards where he was pointing. He saw three men, in green spandex, much like the kind Gai and Dai would wear.

Minato stared at them, confused, while Kakashi stared at them in horror.

"Their clothing taste is… unique." Minato agreed, nodding his head. Those two were not the only ones dressed strangely. Some people were in plain jeans and a T-shirt. Some people wore bright skirts and dresses. And others wore… armour? A lot of armour. And swords. Not really a necessity in a place like this. Well… at least he thinks it isn't. All in all, the place was really diverse. "The place seems safe though, we could stay there." Kakashi mumbled something grumpy in reply, which went ignored by him.

Minato pulled Kakashi towards the place.

The truth was that the council had no clue what they should do. They were in a bad spot as of now, with less options than they would normally have.

Of course, they don't need the Hokage to make decisions, they've done it without before. Plus, the Hokage wasn't present so he had no say in the matter.

Does the Hokage even know that his student is alive?

This wasn't going to bbe a fun discussion when Minato comes back.

There. Was. So. Much. Screeching. Kakashi was surprised he hadn't gone deaf yet. Minato just bore the noise with a strained grin.

Not to mention the bright flashes of light that would occur at least once every fifty seconds. it was crazy, just why did Sensei want to stay in this place? They'd be better off, well, literally anywhere else.

"Maybe it's a party." Minato awkwardly spoke up.

"Some party."

"Which means we will have to ask an attendant if we could stay with them…" Kakashi groaned. "Let me do the talking."

"Noted."

They casually approached an adult woman who looked pretty nice.

"Hello, ma'am." Minato started. She looked over to the both of them. And Kakashi swore the lady had a mental seizure in those few seconds. "Do you know any places we could stay at, for free?" She nodded ecstatically. "Um, where?"

"With me! I mean, at my house!"

"Okay, gre-"

POV Switch

"As long as you take a picture with me." What a strange request. But, he'll do what he has to do. She takes out her phone, and Minato awkwardly grins at it, as she puts it in front of them. She frowns, and glares at Kakashi, who's standing a few feet away from them. "Both of you!" Minato awkwardly laughed his confusion away.

Kakashi stands next to him, and stares at the camera. It was so obvious to Minato that Kakashi wasn't even making an effort to smile. But the girl still takes the picture, back to her happy mood. Why was everyone here so weird?

He looks up, and notices a line of people behind the woman. They all had their phones and cameras out. Before Minato could question them, he and his student were pulled away by the overexcited lady.

Why did this have to happen?!

Tenzo was really mad. He sat on the other side of the cell he and Obito were in. Obito just sat on the bench, curled in a small ball.

If only they-

CRASH!

He stared wide-eyed at the girl who practically broke into their cell. He was too shocked to say anything, yet Obito showed absolutely no reaction.

"Obito! What the hell did you do to get your ass in here?!" That got a reaction. Obito leaped in the air, shouting protests and how they did nothing wrong, but stopped when he saw her.

"KUSHINA-NEE?!"

Wha..?

There were posters of himself and Sensei on every wall of the weirdo's house. Kakashi mentally questioned her sanity every time he saw either of them somewhere in the room.

Minato was equally disturbed, Kakashi could tell. They randomly show up in this weird world full of people they've never met, then this girl just so happens to have a whole fucking statue of the two of them.

"Okay. You two can keep exploring, I'm just gonna go to bed now. Call me if you need anything!"

They quickly learned their way around. When you walked in, there was a laundry room or mud room, that led into the kitchen, and then living room, with a bathroom, and-

Kakashi turned to see yet another huge poster of himself and Sensei. But this time something was different.

This poster, was, um, very explicitly lewd. It was completely mortifying.

Sensei put his hand over Kakashi's eyes and led him away. Under his hand Kakashi was bright pink and not going to say a word about what he had seen. Minato-Sensei eventually puts his hand down,we when we hey are safely in the guest room, away from the picture.

"Um, Kakashi. Maybe it's time for a talk, about that kind of stuff." Huh?

"Huh?"

"Okay, you're at that age where things-"

"Um, no, actually I think I kind of understand now. You don't need to explain at all." Minato-Sensei mustered up the courage, much to Kakashi's dismay, to keep talking.

"No, no. I need to. Anyway, you're seeing things different at this age, a-and experiencing…" Kakashi hid his face in the blankets. Though it seemed his Sensei was just as uncomfortable as himself. "Uh… hormones."

"Yep. I understand. Just continue to deeply mortify every part of my soul, that's fine."

"..."

They each lied down on the floor, next to each other, under a giant blanket. There was a bed, of course, it was a guest room. But it was a twin bed, that only Kakashi would be able to sleep comfortably on. And his student must have felt bad, so they were now both on the floor.

"Kakashi, you're never going to regain your Chakra if you keep that henge on."

"Hn." His student turns away, stubbornly. Annnnd Kakashi was back to himself. Minato resisted the urge to dramatically sigh. Kakashi releases the henge. "I'm not wearing this." He says, while making excessive hand gestures directed to his hospital gown.

"Oh. Well, find something else to wear, then."

"But I don't have anything else to wear…" Kakashi whined. He always says he never whines, but he does and this is the evidence.

"..."

"Don't you have anything?"

"You want to wear something of mine?"

"... Stop making it sound weird."

"Uhh…"

"... Nani?"

"I just- I don't know if I have any boxers or any underwear in general for you. And if I did, wouldn't it be too big on you?"

"First of all, it would be weird if you had underwear specifically for me…" Minato face-palmed. That's not what he had meant, "And I don't care if they're too big."

He ended up having only a T-shirt, and boxers. They were both big on his student, but it was better than having nothing to wear.

They comfortably lied down again. Minato feels a pull of Chakra from his student and turns to glare at him. Said student is now cuddling with his eight ninken, who would constantly make remarks about themselves 'not being puppies so everyone had to stop treating them like puppies'. Yeah right.

"Kakashi. Don't waste Chakra." He's said that so many times lately, it's not even funny.

"I'm not." Kakashi probably has said that even more times.

"Right... No more jutsus."

"Eh?"

"Until I say otherwise. Or we would never get back home."

"Hmph."

"Don't give me attitude-" Kakashi stared at him.

"I didn't say anything!" Minato gave him a look.

"You're so disrespectful to your sensei." Kakashi then looked down at his hands.

"... Gomenasai…" Minato dropped the act and started grinning, ruffling Kakashi's hair. His student swatted the hand away and glared at him.

"Sorry, Kakashi, but it's just so easy to make you apologize…" The silver-haired teen blinked.

"What's that supposed to mean?!"

Obito couldn't believe it. Kushina-nee was right there, saving their asses already. This is why he loves her.

"Of course it's me dattebane, who'd you think it was?! And answer my question. How did you manage to get yourself locked up in here after being dead?! Huh? Huh?!"

"Well, uh, it's a long story, so I'll start from the beginning. You know Grandpa Madara?"

"EHH?! What the hell does some ancient Uchiha have to do with your ass getting jailed?!"

"More than you would think, Nee-chan."

An - I'm sorry! So this story isn't abandoned. I've just been busy with school stuff but now that I have more time, I'll try to update every Monday and Friday. Hope you guys still read and enjoy it!
