CH11
Obito Uchiha walked back home slowly from the academy. He kicked a stone from his path as he kept moping along the road. He was alone, again. Always alone, sometimes he'd hang out with the other kids but they always had to run home to their parents. Rin usually stayed longer because her father was always on missions and her mother was long gone so she had a longer curfew but today her dad came back so she went to see him. And the bastard Kakashi already graduated a whole three years earlier, but no matter one day he'd be Hokage! He would just retake the test next month! That's right!
He turned a corner only to see another kid his age who graduated the academy only this year. It was the "Senju." The Uchiha kept telling him to stay away from the boy but he couldn't understand why. The boy was relatively quiet and hung out with Asuma a lot sometimes also with that annoying kid Nawaki. He often wondered how a quite kid like Tobirama would land friends high up like the Hokage's kid. Ehhhh what the heck it wasn't like he had anything better to do and he was already looked down upon by the Uchiha for not having a sharingan so who gave a damn?
He strolled toward the Senju slowly trying to add swag to his walk to look cooler. "Yo!" He waved a hand giving a grin.
The Senju's shoulders instantly stiffened causing his smile to falter.
"You need something?"
He frowned at the cold reception nervous at what to say next. Damn it all why was he so bad at this? "I um…. wanted to train?" The words sounded pathetic even to his own ears and he waited for the kid to make a lame joke at his goggles. It was pathetic but he actually wore goggles because of the "ghost" stories he heard about Izuno Uchiha's ghost. The one who took out the eyeballs of kids at night. He knew that the stories was made up but he just didn't want to take any chances after all ghosts couldn't pull out eyes from plastic right? And better to be safe than sorry….
A confused look appeared on Tobirama's face. "Train?"
"Yeah! I mean you don't have anything else to do right?" Obito asked sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck.
The Senju's eyes narrowed eyes scrutinizing him. "What's your name?"
Ouch was he really that unpopular? "Obito…..Obito Uchiha."
"Oh!" The name rang a bell and the shoulders relaxed somewhat. "I suppose we could….training field five?"
"Sure!" Obito cracked a grin, agreeing excitedly. Wow this guy was swell! If he could go out after curfew just like Obito then Obito could get so much more training done!
They walked together to the training field. "So what weapons can we use?" Obito asked as he stood opposite Tobirama on the grassy field.
Tobirama shrugged, "Whatever we want I guess unless you have a preference?"
"Can we do just Taijutsu and work our way up?" Obito asked feeling like he just ate a whole bowl delicious avocado sushi.
Tobirama shrugged. "Sure."
They ran at each other kicking and blocking. Tobirama emerged the superior fighter however as he appeared to have had more training. "Good round, but let's stop here."
Obito frowned. "Just you wait I will have my sharingan one day and I will be just as good as you!"
Tobirma just stared at him blankly and Obito braced himself for a round of degrading insults. "I'm sure you will be." Tobirama shrugged at him. "You should always be prepared for a double round kick. That backhand block was a pretty good save though. But let's stop here for today…"
A confused look appeared on Obito's face as he beamed with excitement. He had finally made a friend! It didn't even matter that this guy's face sometimes reminded him of Kakashi's I'm too cool for you expression. "Why you have to go?"
Tobirama's eyes flickered to a tree and Obito looked at it in confusion. "Kind of yeah." Tobirama said and ran off. "So tomorrow same time?"
"Maybe." Tobirama called over his shoulder.
Obito frowned at his friends exit but thought nothing of it coming to the same training field the next day. Tobirama didn't show up. Neither did he come the next day so Obito decided to visit him. Normally he wouldn't do such a thing; visit someone but the way Tobirama ran off made him worried.
He strolled into the compound which was eerily quiet because of how few Senju were left only to see Tobirama with a left hand in a sling practicing shuriken throwing. "Yo! You okay?"
Tobirama's eyes became instantly guarded as he looked at Obito. "Fine."
"What happened to your arm?" Obito fumbled for something to say.
"Training accident."
"Oh, sorry, can we train when you're better?" Obito didn't have many friends even among the Uchiha, the curse and blessing of being an orphan. You could do what you wanted when you wanted but people could treat you like trash cause the only one who could protect you was you.
"Dunno, I'm getting a Sensei very soon so I'm going to be busy for a while."
Obito's face fell. "Oh…. I'm sorry if I wasn't strong enough for you…." If Tobirama was too nice to say it that was fine, he always knew he was a failure, for now anyway.
"You were fine." The boy said as he threw another shurikan getting the dead center of a target board. "I'm just going to be very busy."
"Look I get it I'm sorry for being a bother." Obito began trudging away sadly as the boy's eyes focused back at his target practice. Obito left dejected. One day he'd be Hokage just you wait Konoha! He graduated that year just like he had wanted too making it onto team Minato …But it was ironic wasn't it? No matter how many times the Senju accepted the Uchiha's hand for peace they always ended up with a broken arm….
