After the land of waves team 7 was placed on D-rank missions again; and the worst ones at that.
From cleaning a barn, to babysitting the whiniest baby on earth. Build teamwork or whatever bullcrap they spouted team seven was raising to a boil.
"I'M SICK OF THESE DUMB MISSIONS BELIEVE IT!"
Kakashi sighed, why did it feel like every time they came here this is the scene that played?
"Naruto you're lucky i'm giving you missions right now you should all still be resting"
Obito side resting his head in his hand. He had enough paperwork to fight through he didn't feel like dealing with a whiny Naruto too.
"WE DON'T NEED REST! WE NEED A TOUGHER MISSION! WE DID GREAT ON THE C-RANK ONE WHAT'S THE PROBLEM!?"
Obito scowled,
What was the problem?
Oh he'd tell him exactly what the problem was...
"Narut-"
The door creaked open and a familiar head face popped in. Light brown hair cascaded over the woman's shoulder her brown eyes mature as they looking into the room hesitantly a nervous smile stretching the purple markings on her face,
"I'm sorry am i interrupting something?"
Obito straightened instantly as a blush tinted his cheeks,
"No, not at all! Did you need something?"
The woman smiled as she entered the room fully,
"No i merely came to drop off some case sensitive documents from the hospital, hello Kakashi, is your team here for a mission?"
Kakashi smiled the woman was like a breath of fresh air a calm force that turned any tsunami into a gentle wave,
"Yes we were but-"
"RRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNN!"
Rin blinked as she looked at the young boy, still wearing that orange outfit it seemed.
"OBITO'S BEING A JERK AND NOT GIVING US ANY GOOD MISSIONS BECAUSE HE'S MAD HE'S DI*K'S SMALLER THAN A TWELVE YEAR OLD'S!"
Obito jumped up with his face red sputtering as even Rin blushed,
"NO I'M NOT!"
Just when they all thought his face couldn't get any redder,
"I MEAN I'M NOT MAD! NOT TO SAY THAT I'M...I MEAN I'M NOT...that...I MEAN!"
Sakura sighed and even though Sasuke had the utmost respect for the fellow Uchiha there really wasn't much to say; everyone in the village knew that Obito had a crush on Rin. Even Rin knew it! She was just waiting for him to say something that sometimes seemed like it would never happen,
"Maa maa Obito i think Rin understands exactly what you mean, calm down"
Kakashi said trying to help his friend and Rin appreciated it. Naruto loved to mess with the Uchiha a bit too much and though she loved her teacher's son sometimes….
"Naruto you really shouldn't say things like that"
She scolded and thankfully the boy had enough of a conscience to feel bad.
"Fine…. But i was serious! He won't give us any good missions!"
Rin sighed,
"Naruto you do know that you're still genin, you shouldn't always rush to complete things above your level. The harder the mission is the more risk there is in...volved…."
For a second it felt nostalgic but a blink from blue eyes brought her back,
"Anyway Naruto you should be grateful you're gaining experience."
Obito smiled if it was one person that could deal with Naruto it was Rin. But Naruto was feeling extra stubborn.
"We just went on a c-rank in fact it was B YA KNOW! We completed it and everything turned out fine i don't see why we can't get harder missions…."
Rin was surprised and she turned to Obito,
"B-rank?"
Obito frowned,
"It was hardly on purpose, the client lied. Had i known there is no way they would have been allowed."
Naruto frowned,
"WE STILL COMPLETED THE MISSION!"
Obito scoffed. And Sasuke held his breathe. Obito was compared the the other Uchiha's was very… goofy. Compared to the stoic faces they were all trained to have he wore his heart on his sleeve but there was no way that he would have become hokage if he was always goofy…
"Not only did you face two A-rank assassins both were killed, people were injured and Sasuke almost died…"
Naruto looked down and Rin wondered WHAT exactly had happened on the mission.
"We… We still completed it. Sure they shouldn't have had to die and nobody should have gotten hurt but… WE STILL DID IT! WE GAVE IT OUR ALL AND WE SUCCEEDED!"
"Well aren't you lucky."
Sakura felt a chill run down her spine and she took a step back at the coldness reflected in those dark eyes.
"Even i have to admit that if it was only that i would've congratulate you, however… when you have to rely on THAT i consider it a mission failure."
Rin gasped and Sasuke didn't miss a second,
THAT?
Whatever THAT was made Naruto pale and look down away from the man that had clawed his way to the hokage's seat,
"Obviously things didn't go as smoothly as you claim."
"Obito"
Kakashi warned lowly but either the man didn't hear him or he was ignoring him.
And in honesty, he was ignoring him. Because Obito cared for Kakashi. They were friends, best friends and he wouldn't let anyone hurt him if he had a say...even if it was his teacher's son.
"Or did you forget what happened the last time you…"
"OBITO ENOUGH!"
Sasuke and Sakura were as good as forgotten as Kakashi had stepped in front of Naruto blocking Obito from looking at him. And Rin was looking the saddest that Sakura had ever seen the mentor,
Obito sighed,
"I'm just stating facts… but, maybe i went too far"
Naruto clenched his fist and turned running out the room,
"NARUTO!"
Sakura called after but neither teammate followed because this was a part of Naruto's world they still knew nothing about,
Obito could feel Kakashi glare at him but he refused to look at the man. He wasn't wrong, he had just phrased it wrong but he…
A pile of papers passed his peripheral and he looked up,
Damn it…
Rin refused to meet his eyes but he could see the disappointment that solely belonged to him.
"I will go talk to him"
She said more to Kakashi but he knew it was a pointed comment to him at the damage she would have to repair.
Why was it always naruto…
Back in Konoha yay! and things are starting to heat up again already. the grass isn't always greener on the other side huh?
