Speaking of time travel...


Team 7, some years ago. Minato Namikaze was running his students through a chakra control exercise. Kakashi was attentive, Rin was focused, and Obito...

"He's running late AGAIN Sensei," Rin pointed out. She sighed dreamily over at the stoic Kakashi. "Isn't he just the worst?"

"Hn," Kakashi replied. Minato shook his head.

"What could be taking him so long-?"

There was an explosion. Then several other explosions in the distance. A house nearby collapsed. And soon, running through the smoke, their wayward teammate came screaming.

"AAAHHHHH!" Obito screeched, running faster than he ever had before, his clothing torn and his hair on fire. Following closely after him was a blonde man, burning with power, whisker marks on his cheeks.

"GET BACK HERE AND LISTEN YOU STUPID BASTARD!" The man bellowed. Another man, tall and dark, wearing a cloak that didn't conceal his glowing red and purple eyes, charged after him.

"LET ME KILL HIM NARUTO!"

"STOP TRYING TO KILL HIM SASUKE!'

A pink haired woman in red chased after them, kicking a tree out of her way.

"LET ME BEAT HIS ASS FIRST! I CALLED DIBS!" She bellowed.

A plethora of Shinobi ran past, all demanding Obito's blood. The hapless Uchiha ran around the clearing in a circle, frantically dodging jutsu of every description. He ran back past his teammates.

"GONNA BE LATER THAN I THOUGHT, SENSEIIIII!" He screamed in apology, as he ran back into the village. The veritable army of ninja followed, the explosions moving away.

It was soon silent in the clearing. Kakashi opened his mouth but nothing came out. Rin's mouth had dropped opened and stayed that way.

Minato blinked, then again, and sighed.

"Third time this week," he muttered.


I mean, you know it would happen.
