Chapter 13: Konoha
Obito scaned a small area in front of him, it was night time so that visibility was at a minimum. All he could see right in front of himself were a line of tall trees. Yet a bit before Obito noticed a bright light which looked like a flame. He had been standing at that exact spot for at least 30 minutes trying to figure out just exactly who was out in the woods at this point. Obito looked around to his left and his right to notice Sasuke a dozen feet to his right and Tobirama a dozen feet to his left. He knew that Kakkoi was standing at a spot so she could be able to be the reserve just incase they need back up.
Why where these four shinobi standing in this exact place and at this exact time of the night. Well simple, they had been traveled for 2 days when they ran a cross a caravan which reported that a group of bandits were out raiding, and expressing how worried that they were about the situation. Of course, the group was not just about to let a group of bandits terrorize the country. So they took up the mission, and Obito had been tracking the group for a whole day, before this very night.
The group had moved into position quietly, they didn't want to have to get into a fight if they could help it. Obito noticing what he wanted, showed the two boys a hand sign, causing all three of them to move quickly and quietly forward into the camp. The group moved shiftily though the camp confirming quickly that they were indeed the bandits. Tobirama was more then a little glad that it was a full moon, because it was the light from the moon which gave them enough light to be able to see what they were doing.
The group quietly and safely went about tying the feet and of each member of the group that was at the camp with rope that they had purchased from the caravan that gave them the information. After tying up the group, and double checking the fact that everyone one was tied up, Obito walked up to the place the group had previously had a fire and started a new one. A small smile creped across the face of the Taki Jounin as he looked at the tied up bandits.
"Hey, someone, help me!" he yelled causing the bandits to wake up.
Obito just laughed as he watched the shocked look on the faces of the bandits who were stunned to find that they were unable to move.
"Ok, you all better listen or you will be in a tougher spot then your in right now, you got it!" Obito yelled, "We are going to take you all to Konoha, if you choice not to listen, then we will kill you, and trust me, we can."
At that moment, Obito used his Sharingan to show the bandits just who he was, and what the situation was. Obito knew that having the Sharingan could be useful at times. Since Konoha had no more Uchiha and had not in a half dozen years, the rumors about just how power the sharingan was were overblown, and Uchiha became something of a legend, with more myths biased around them, then facts. Especially for a group of uneducated bandits who more then likely had only heard the rumors and never seen it before.
"Uchiha Sasuke, Senju Tobirama, I want you both to help me organize this group, also both of you take some of their weapons with you, Kakkoi, I want you to get the rest of their weapons," Obito said making sure to tell leak out information of just what two clans Sasuke, and Tobirama were from. That way the group would only think of their clan, and not their age.
The work of getting them to Konoha was as easy as capturing the group in the first place. They were so scared of the group of Taki shinobi, and more over the Uchiha name, that they did not say a single word on the way to Konoha.
On patrol at the gate, Izumo and Kotetsu where sitting alert but also bored out of there minds. The group had morning watch, and there was not suppose to be a team back into Konoha for another 5 hours. Basicly meaning they would have to watch leaf fall, and dirt move for the whole time they were on patrol. Izumo noticed a large group moving towards them in a line, it was far to big to be a group coming in early from a mission. No, this was something different, maybe it was a group of refuges from a nearby area. That seemed possible, maybe a town had been overrun, and its survivors were coming into town. Izumo watched carefully, alerting Kotetsu to the situation.
"So it is them," Kotetsu said shaking his head leaving Izumo clueless to the situation at hand.
"What do you mean, you know who they are?" Izumo asked amazed that Kotetsu knew who this large group was.
"Look, the one there," Kotetsu said pointing to Obito, "That is Obito Uchiha, noticed the goggles, I know those anywhere. That must be his team with him, I heard Taki gave the lazy bum a team."
"So that means that groups is…bandits," Izumo said a bit surprised, "Oh, I see, the weapons the kids have."
"Well, this will make for some interesting paperwork, a whole group of bandit captured by a Jounin and his gennin team, when they were not even on a mission for it. You see, Taki was sending a team over to work with ours."
"I wonder who the kids are."
"Me too, but I bet they are good too."
Izumo and Kotetsu quickly moved to open up the gate for the group of Taki shinobi, before sending in for back up to take care of the bandits.
Tobirama looked in a bit of awe at the gate of Konoha. You see he had never been to Konoha, and he always had wondered what it looked like. He had heard so many tells from both Amon, and Shizune about the village, and their adventures in the village. He knew that both Obito and Sasuke had been in Konoha, but neither really gave him any information. Looking at the symbol on the large gate, he thought of his ancestors who had created this village from nothing. He would have to see the sights of the village while he was there. As the gate opened, Tobirama could feel excitement build as he caught his first glance of Konoha.
The group walked in with the large group of bandits whose hands were tied together in a line so they could walk. Walking through the gate, Obito smiled as he noticed who was on watch, he remembered the pair from when they were younger, even then they were best of friends.
"Hey Izumo and Kotetsu, right, we have a delivery for you," Obito said with a smile as he marched the group of bandits to the station, while back up arrived to take care of the bandits.
"So, Obito, how are you doing, and who are the kids?" Kotetsu asked with a smile.
"Well, this is Kakkoi Mizu," Obito said pointing to the girl, "The two boys are my nephew Sasuke Uchiha, and Tobirama Senju."
"The Takikage's boy, and an Uchiha, I can see you sure got the team," Izumo commented, "I bet you would like to know Kakashi was given a team this years."
"Great to hear, we need to catch up some other time, we have been traveling all night, we need some sleep," Obito replied politely noticing the sun rising, "We is the place Sarutobi put us in?"
"Oh, it is the old Senju place, he must of known that Tobirama was coming," Kotetsu answered with a laugh.
"Thanks we will be on are way."
Obito walked past the station with his team following behind him quietly.
"Ok, you three are free to do what you want, I sugest you get some rest, we have to meet the Hokage in 8 hours about what we will do while we are here."
"Yes sensei," the three replied.
"Alright, I am heading to the our temp housing," Obito replied, "just follow me."
Obito started down the path to the old Senju place, when he noticed quickly that Tobirama had not followed. Obito smiled, wondering what the boy would be up to in the town.
Tobirama was to excited to sleep, he had to see everything, and he had to do it now. Tobirama quickly made his way up to the top of one of the largest buildings to look around the town. It was then that he caught sight of the mountain with the faces. He had heard about the mountain with the Hokage's faces. Tobirama looked at the second face on the mountain. It was his great grandfather face, it was the man who Amon talked about so much. Tobirama instantly without thought grabbed his sword. It was made by that great man. Tobirama had to go there, and stand on that place.
Tobirama quickly moved across the buildings of Konoha towards the mountain. Getting to the top of that mountain was his sole reason for being awake at this moment. Tobirama jumped off a tree and landed on the mountian and ran all the way up the thing and sat on top of his ancestors carving. In a odd way as he looked out on the village, he felt connected to the second hokage. Watching the villagers move around, Tobirama smiled, it was a great place to observe the village. He was lost in the moment, feeling this moment made any other worth the trip.
"Hey Kid, get down from there, you not allowed up on that," A voice said from below him.
Tobirama bounced off a spot in the side of the mountain and then landed on a bridge right below the rock carving. Tobirama looked at the person who had addressed him, he was tall with odd white hair, and a mask that covered a lot of his face.
"Sorry about that, I just had to, it is special for me," Tobirama said politely not wanting to make a Konoha shinobi angry at him.
"Ok, um why is it is important to you, you're a Taki shinobi?" the masked man asked.
"Oh, I am Tobirama Senju, that man was…" Tobirama started to say before being interrupted.
"Oh, your Amon's kid, it is ok," Kakashi said with a hidden smile, "You were named after him right?"
"Yeah, dad, said he was the greatest shinobi ever."
"Well, I am Kakashi Hatake, my father trained your father," Kakashi said with a laugh.
"Wow, cool, Mr. Hatake, what else is the best thing to see in the village?"
"Well… there are some things which are pretty unique about this village. I suggest that you go to meet the Hokage, I am sure that he will be happy to see you, and Lady Tsunade is also in town. I am sure that she will enjoy seeing you as well."
"Oh, the guys at the enterance station, said you know our sensei, Obito Uchiha."
"Well, of course, we were teammates. You better get going if you want to catch Tsunade this morning."
"Thank you, Mr. Hatake," Tobirama said moving off at high speeds.
Kakashi watch with a bit of a sad smile, it was a shame that the name sake of the second hokage was not a leaf shinobi. Kakashi also made a mental note to go and see his best friend.
Tobirama found his way to the main street asking around where he could find Lady Tsunade, his god mother. He had not seen her in a bit over a year, and he wanted to see how she was doing. Tobirama reminded himself that it would be better to show up no empty handed. Noticing a flower shop he wondered in.
Tobirama noticed the large selection of flowers and also the young blonde girl who was on duty.
"Am, can I help you," The blonde asked moving towards him, "What do you need a flower for a girl or something?"
"Nope, I need one for my great aunt," Tobirama said with a smile thinking that term would be the correct one to use for Tsunade."
"Ok, this one would be the best choice," the girl said handing him a group of different flowers, "Why do you have relatives who live here, aren't you from Takigakure?"
"Well, my family lived here a long time ago, before I was born," Tobirama said paying for the flowers.
"Ok, good luck with your relative," the girl replied, "Oh what is your name, my name is Ino, I am one of this village's shinobi, maybe we will get to work on a joint mission."
"Yeah, that would be fun," Tobirama replied, "Oh, I am Tobirama."
Tobirama made his way quickly out of the store and to the place where he was told Tsunade was staying. Knocking he didn't get an answer. The boy thought about putting the flowers down, but decided against it. Tobirama started out figuring he could search and find Tsunade, he was a shinobi after all.
Turning around and walking away he ran right into someone.
"Hey watch where your going, brat," Tsunade yelled before noticing it was Tobi.
"Hey look who it is," Tsunade said with a smile, "what brings you to Konoha."
"Well mission, Granny Tsunade," Tobirama said politely as normal.
"Well, I will take you out to lunch later, but I have some things I need to take care of right now. Thanks for the flowers though," Tsunade said taking the flowers with a smile before walking into her place.
A handful of hours later, Obito walked up to the Hokage's office, and walked in to only notice a passed out Tobirama asleep just outside of the Hokage's office.
