Disclaimer: Team Minato finally finds Mountain's graveyard. But after an encounterment with Zetsu they learn that Madara is still very well alive so now the mission is more of a S-rank mission.

"Great, just great, we're going to some spooky and totally creepy graveyard, but uh Rin if you like I'll protect you." Obito babbled as they ran through yet another forest.

"No, Kakashi is here for me." Rin gushed, staying close by the white or he says it's silver haired ANBU.

(Still a show off, thinking that he can get all the girls.) Obito thought to himself, with a scowl on his face.

(What the heck do these kids know about love? They're only thirteen oh well, I was young too when I met Kushina.) Minato thought to himself as he watched the three fight over one another.

Team Minato had finally made it to the hidden waterfall village and now it was time to set up camp.

"Ok so from here we go there and then we go as north as possible according to map and the trail is getting colder and colder." Minato explained as he pointed to the map.

Obito sat by the fire that he made and looked up at the sky. Obito wondered if he really had a chance, could he really go to some creepy graveyard and save two of his fellow clan members. Yeah, maybe with the help of friends but still that venus fly trap guy sounds scary.

The next day...

"Is everyone ready? Ok now let's go." Minato instructed.

Team Minato were getting closer and closer to their destination in fact, Obito could even see giant bones sticking out from the horizon. Things were going good actually until a swirly black portal thing appeared right before them.

And them out came him, the person responsible for abducting Itachi and another Uchiha.

"Eewww, he looks so gross, ewww yuck." Obito spat out jumping back a little.

"Well that was mean."

"Never mind, we know who you are and we know you are going after those brats, too but I don't think you wanna face Madara because then the cause of your death will be certain."

"Not possible, Madara is dead but it's a shame who's he has become." Minato said as he confronted the split man.

"People change."

"Don't care, Madara is dead for the second time."

"And even if he didn't die, then he would still be old making him weaker than he was during his prime, thus-" Minato continued before getting cut off.

"Blah, blah, blah yeesh captain obvious we know he's old and fragile."

"Doesn't mean he's stupid that's why-"

"Shut the hell up! Baka you freakin almost told them!" Zetsu screamed as he disappeared once again.

Despite obvious warning, Team Minato trudged along to Mountain's graveyard. And finally they were there.

"This is now an S-rank mission, possibly higher." Minato stated.

"We will not and I repeat WILL NOT split up into teams, and unless it is absolutely necessary for your survival do not engage in any type of battle. If we are to encounter Madara then I will fight him if needed. But none of you will fight Madara at all, if I were to die then you must retreat and call for back up." Minato somehow calmly explained as he faced the underground entrance.

"This is so frightening, I-I don't know if I can-"

Kakashi put his hand on Obito's shoulder, "You need to believe Obito, have faith and trust." Kakashi tried to reassure.

"No matter how strong he is, we will prevail, Kakashi don't care about me, you and Rin must live no matter what."

"We are shinobi therefore we choose to die for our village. I can't promise you anything because they may end up as lies. But that's just the life of a ninja and I can't change that."

Team Minato went inside, hopefully worse does not come to worse though.


Itachi...

Itachi was only five but he has to suffer through this war making him more mature than the others. But then again he was still just five.

He was trapped in a small dark room along with another Uchiha. The creepy plant man also put a bucket in there, just in case someone had to you know use it but other than that nothing else.


Back to Obito...

Team Minato found themselves in a creepy underground maze, and it just had to maze it couldn't of been a nice underground hot spring.

"So it's a maze, not good. The trail has ended so I guess we have to search every. Single. Room. But that's no good either. It would be easier and faster to split up but there is a chance that Madara is here, so maybe I can... yes I can do that."

"Shadow clone jutsu!" Minato whispered as five shadow clones appeared.

"Ok, clones I want you to go in any direction, everyone else follow me." Minato instructed.

"Ok! But what if one of us encounters Madara?" One of the clones asked.

"Fight him."

The clones scattered off into the maze while team Minato did so too.

Door after door there was still no sign of Itachi nor the other Uchiha. Finally Minato opened the last door and luckily it was Itachi and the other Uchiha. Minato picked up both Itachi and the 13 year old Uchiha, much to Obito's surprise.

(He must have a tough back) Obito thought to himself.

Suddenly and dramatically Madara, yes the Madara not some wannabe appeared. Along with Zetsu.

"Minato Namikaze drop them, drop them now and no one will die." Madara sternly warned the spiky blonde.

"No."

"Oh, well then the cause of your death will certainly be by me. I'll allow one of your brats to live just so they can tell the world who killed the yellow flash."

"I guess the First hokage didn't check twice." Minato said as he used his signature move: the rasengan.

Madara dodged the attack and started to weave a sign before he was stopped by Zetsu.

"Umm Madara, aren't you a tad too old to be fighting the famous yellow flash?" Zetsu asked the white-haired legendary Uchiha.

"This move they can't escape."

"Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!" Madara yelled as trees with flowers grew from the underground maze.

All of a sudden Kakashi, Rin, Itachi, and the other Uchiha fell too. Minato was still standing and Obito who barley was standing.

"Fire style: Fire ball jutsu!" Obito managed to say before he too fell over, the fire balls burned the flowering trees.

The tree was burned so Minato was back at full strength but everyone else was still unconious for the time.

"Why'd you make us steal Itachi anyways, he's only five."

"Because he's a prodigy, idiot. Anyways Madara said so."

Zetsu came at Minato, the black part of him turned the white part into roots and they came Minato. Minato acted quickly and threw his special knife right behind Madara. The roots strangled Minato until he just vanished.

Minato appeared right behind Madara and punched him in the back. Madara jump backed and used Fire Release: Dragon Flame Release Song Technique. Minato managed to evade all the attacks but then the dragons exploded causing minor damage to his right arm.

That punch that Minato gave was more than just a punch, Minato appeared right behind Madara's back and then he used giant rasengan.

It turned out to be just a wooden clone so that would mean, Madara is still here. Madara came from behind and started to grab Itachi while Zetsu grabbed that other Uchiha.

A barrage of shurikens came at Madara and Zetsu. It turned out that the unconious kids were just shadow clones. Madara deflected the shuriken while Zetsu got hit by them.

While still distraught Minato ran straight at Madara but this time he attacked with his special kunai knife. Once again it was just another wooden clone but this time it had a paper bomb attached to it.

Obito, Rin, Kakashi, and the two Uchiha captives were behind the corridor watching their sensei battle Madara. Trying so very hard in not trying to help out their sensei too.

"That's it! I'm gonna help out Minato-sensei." Obito finally said as he stood up with a kunai knife in his hand.

"First off, Obito you don't honestly think a kunai knife is going to kill Madara and second off, Obito this is Madara Uchiha he's is the most powerful Uchiha shinboi ever." Kakashi warned and sorta nagged at the same time.

"So what, I rather die a hero rather than a coward."

"You are such a rash and reckless idiot."

Suddenly Madara appeard right before them, he grabbed the two Uchihas like they weighed nothing.

"Shadow clone jutsu, topped off with fire style: fire ball jutsu!" Obito yelled.

Madara easily dodged the attack but it was just a diversion. Kakashi came and dug his new kunai knife from Minato into Madara's back, which of course by now you know it was just a wooden clone.

Rin wasn't helpless either, she ran to Minato and tended his not very serious wounds. Just some scratches and burned skin, not much to worry about.

Team Minato, Itachi, and the other Uchiha escaped from the underground maze thanks to the help of the clones.

"Everyobe is ok?" Minato asked, while counting everyone.

Suddenly the other Uchiha kid plus Itachi vanished. It turns out they were just shadow clones.


Itachi...

"You two are now my students and you will inherit my plans before I die." Madara explained.

"No we won't!" The other Uchiha yelled as she kicked her feet since she was tied up to a chair. Yeah you heard it right she.

Itachi made his move and got out from the chair, secretly he was actually untying the rope. Since he was only five he ran to get some help, luckily one of Minato's shadow clones found him and escorted him out of the underground maze.

"We saved one but what about the other?" Minato asked the sorta dirty clone.

"She's still in there but I think I have an idea where."

Minato released the jutsu and got some intel on the whereabouts, he instructed the team to stay put but before he could enter the entrance disappeared.

"That's no good." Minato said as he tried to feel for an entrance but it was almost like it vanished.

"We failed the mission." Kakashi stated.

"It looks like we have to go back, there aren't anymore entrances to the maze anymore. So we can send in another group to watch if the entrances ever open up, so you can sorta call it incomplete." Minato tried to reassure.

"I guess so."

Team Minato and Itachi left the Mountain's graveyard having forced to leave the 13 year old Uchiha all to Madara.


Back to Obito...

A couple days later in the night...

Kakashi was in the village picking up some food, he was minding his own bussiness until Obito came along.

"What?"

"I just awakened my sharigan!" Obito exclaimed while showing him his cool looking eye.

"That's great, so is that why you wasted my time?"

"Oh umm and..." Obito stammered while furiously rubbing the back of his head.

"I didn't give you a gift really for joining the ANBU so here I want you to have a pair goggles, just like the ones I wear y'know." Obito continued as he handed them to Kakashi.

"Thanks Obito."

Kakashi finally got home and tried on the goggles, he then noticed what looked like a sorta tag or seal maybe.

Kakashi tore off the tag and then several giant shuriken, a pretty nice katana, and a note appeared. Kakashi picked up the note and read it.

Yo, yo Kakashi,

If you're reading this then that means you put on those goggles, and I bet you looked pretty goofy too! I personally found these weapons myself and I won't tell you how either. But good luck being an ANBU and all that or whatever.

Sincerely,

That cool guy called Obito

"Obito, thank-you."


A/N: I finally found out it's called a/n not aftermath.

Anyways I'm still debating on wether she the other Uchiha should be an OC or just an unidentified character, and yes she isn't a typo.

I though it would he more interesting if it was a girl, right?

Plus next chapter there's a one year time skip and I bet you know exactly what certain event this is too.
