Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto. I am not profiting in any way from this. If you see mistakes, feel free to message me.

I don't know what's going on in this anymore. But here. Thanks for looking.


Part 4: Why are you doing this?

Kakashi never thought the day would come. About to get detention. With Obito. And Gai.

Let's rewind the day just a bit.


"Hm, hm. You are quite remarkable, Maito-san," Obito had a hand on his chin as he addressed Gai, looking him up and down. Gai had been allowed to enter the academy that term, and since Kakashi was declared his eternal rival, Gai had sought him out. While he was with Obito. Kakashi definitely had a bad feeling about their meeting.

"A-ah, thank you!" Kakashi almost forgot Gai had been a bit of a shy and withdrawn child. Obito's reaction was also not the usual response, so Gai was probably taken aback.

"Hm, yes. Play a game with me?"

Kakashi learned the hard way, nothing good came from that request.


"Obito-kun, are you sure this is okay?" Gai asked warily. Kakashi wanted to scream.

No, it was not okay to sneak into the teachers' office.

No, it was not okay to steal from the teachers' personal belongings.

No, it was not okay to seal their drawers shut.

No, it was not okay to replace their inks with confetti.

"Yup!" Obito said that with such a happy and cheerful expression that Gai, who was right to be doubtful, had his doubts cleared away. Obito was a bad influence, who knew.

"Obito," Kakashi spoke up, "what exactly are you planning to gain from this?"

"Oh, you know. This and that." A vague response from an irritating boy.

"So what are they?"

"You'll find out soon enough." Honestly, fuck this version of Obito.


During class, Obito couldn't wipe that grin off his face. He almost burst out laughing at multiple points. Something was up. He did something, but Kakashi didn't know what. What did he do?

Then, he saw it. A string in Obito's hands. And Kakashi witnessed that day, how conniving Obito was.


The string caught fire. Obito's chakra had lit it up. It burned quick. Too quick. The teacher barely had any time to react. Whatever the string was connected to, it sure did its job. The chalkboard behind the teacher fell. On the teacher. Said teacher was not amused.

"OBITO! !"


That was how Obito ended up in the teachers' office. Kakashi and Gai had followed just in case something horrible happened (to Obito or the teacher, they didn't know).

"Obito, I know it was you," said the teacher.

"How? How do you know it was me?" asked Obito. Very innocently. It was convincing. It would have convinced Kakashi if he hadn't been an accomplice.

"I saw and smelled the fire."

"It could have been Hatake-san." That asshole was trying to get him in trouble now!

"Kakashi-kun wouldn't do that."

"Why not?"

"Because he's not a troublemaker." Obito's grin slipped minutely, coming back up in an instant. It came back sharper.

"And I am?"

"Yes."

"Hm, fair enough."

"So are you confessing-" The teacher was cut off by Gai stepping inside.

"Sensei! Please, if you are going to punish Obito-kun, punish me too!" he exclaimed. Kakashi stepped inside then.

"Are you going to say you were involved too?" the teacher addressed Kakashi. Well. That was that. He wouldn't abandon Obito like this. When he was about to answer, Obito spoke up.

"Ah, Sensei!"

"What is it, Obito?"

"Did you know it's really hard to become an instructor at the academy, especially during times of war?"

"Wha- Of course I do! I am an instructor here."

"Then you'll know if you get fired, there's almost no coming back, right?" What was he going on about? Obito, what are you doing?

"Are you threatening me or something, kid?"

"No, no! Not threatening. I'll actually do it!" What?

"What?"

"Guess what I found in the secret compartment in the back of your desk!"


It was porn.

The three didn't get detention. They were let off with a light warning. The teacher, on the other hand, not so lightly. And not a warning. Nope. Fired. Sent off to the field.

Sad.


"Obito, did you plan all that?" Kakashi asked his friend as they walked toward the Uchiha compound. Kakashi insisted on walking Obito home for some reason.

"Kind of? I just wanted to play a different game for once."

"By the way, how much are you hiding?"

"Hiding what?"

"Your skills. Your abilities."

"Heehee, you are quite keen, Hatake-san. I suppose that's what a genius is like."

"... I bet I'm better at shuriken than you."

"... Is that a challenge?"

"Yeah."
