I do not own Naruto, unfortunately. Only my oc and bits of the plot are mine. Please enjoy and if you are a beta and wish to help with any flaws you may see in the flow or anything in my story, please pm me.
Ages are not as in cannon. A lot is not as in cannon.
Please keep the hate to a dull roar.
I am really happy for the beta who generously takes time to review my crap.
Shout out to Mystical Musical Ice-Cleopatra because their enthusiasm in the review I got made my day. ?

Recap
Akatsuki base
3rd person pov
As soon as Nagato, Konan, Sasori and Kisame make it back to base, they bring the children into the infirmary. After washing any grime off them and putting more than those undergarments on them. Sasori then sets them up with saline drips and whatever medicine we have that'll help. After the others get here and Hidan swears a storm at their condition, Orochimaru sends a snake to Konoha for Tsunade to see what she can do to get them out of this coma they seem to be in.
Akatsuki base infirmary
One week later
Rin's pov
As Tsunade-sama and I walk into the infirmary to assess what needs to be done to heal the people I almost dropped my clipboard in shock. These were children! In the left bed is a tiny girl with white hair and very faint whisker marks and in the right is a boy with black hair and various surgical scars over the visible skin. They look no older than five at the most and from the doorway I can tell that they are in bad shape. Tsunade-sama looks angry for a minute and I can tell she's not happy with whomever did this to them. Those poor children.
She turns to me "Begin a diagnostic on the boy while I perform one on the girl we need to see if there is anything internally wrong." I nod and approach the black haired boy's bedside. As I get closer I notice he looks strikingly similar to Obito. Just thinking about my KIA teammate makes my chest clench. 'focus Rin, Tsunade wouldn't trust you to accompany her instead of Shizune unless she trusted you could do this' Biting my lip, I activate my mystic palm jutsu and perform the diagnosis.
There isn't much different from what I find than with a coma patient except his chakra is acting strange around his brain. I turn to Tsunade-sama and she says "It's the same over here. Will you prepare something they can eat like broth since they won't be able to handle solids yet. I can wake them up You haven't received this training yet." I nod and am directed to the kitchen where I make some broth and get a pitcher of water with two glasses.
When I get back the young girl is looking around confused. Her face takes on a look of concentration for a second and then panic as she frantically looks around. She calms when she spots the boy who looks like he's stirring a little bit. Looking at Tsunade, she asks "You are Tsunade, right? How is he? Where are we?"
Tsunade nods and says to her "Your friend is fine now. You both were under some kind of jutsu that puts the victim into some kind of coma. We are still looking through the documents and returning other children or their bodies to their families. You are currently in the base of a group called the Akatsuki. They help the smaller countries especially the war torn ones. They also serve as a way to keep the big five from going to war over trivial matters." 'She sounds really mature for a child' She looks at me, then asks "Who are you?"
It throws me off for a minute before I answer "I'll tell you only if you tell me who you are." CShe huffs "Fine. My name's Sayomi Uzumaki. Great granddaughter to Mika Uzumaki, who was the twin of Mito Uzumaki. I also hold the Yin half of the Kyuubi No Yoko. Now will you tell me who you are?" I laugh at her, she reminds me so much of Kushina. "My name is Rin Nohara and I am the second apprentice to Tsunade Senju." She studies me for a second
"You must be great then since you apprentice to her." Blushing at the compliment, I say "No not really there is still a lot I must learn before I'm ready for my dream of running the ninja hospital." Looking at me contemolatively she says "That's a great dream." She states. " By the way, did the third ninja war end yet?" I stare at her in shock.
'She still thinks that the third ninja war is going on?! Just how long were they in those things!' I think to myself. "Actually" I say "the third ninja war ended years ago. Akatsuki was formed in that time and the world knows of Danzou and his traitorous actions." I look over at the not-Obito and wonder how long it will be until he wakes up. Sayomi, him and myself are the only three in the room. Tsunade and Konan left a few minutes ago to make the reports and notify family. She looks at him and sighs "He should wake up in a few minutes. They really tried to slice and dice him before putting us in those things."
Obito's pov
'What? Where am I? Is that laughter I hear?' I open my eyes to white walls and ceiling. I sit up quickly, vision going blurry and panicking when I realize I don't know where I am or where Sayomi is. A hand gently touches my shoulder and it takes all my control not to freak out at it when I look up and see a decidedly older looking Rin. "Are you alright?" She asks gently. Sayomi wheels over in a wheelchair
"Bito-kun are you okay in there? We were rescued by some nice people called the Akatsuki. Lady Tsunade treated us and they are trying to find out who we are so we can go home. Kushina-sama and her son Naruto are on their way for me. But since you just some up they haven't asked you who you are." I look at her incredulously
"Why didn't you just tell them who I am then?" I ask. She blushes in embarrassment saying "I thought that your get mad at me if I did." Now I'm the one feeling bad. "I'm sorry." I tell her "I didn't mean to sound that way to you of course I wouldn't be mad at you." Rin clears her throat "Am I interrupting something?" she asks, bringing two trays with glasses of water and soup. "No!" we both shout, faces red from embarrassment.
"I never got to ask." She starts "My name is Rin Nohara, second apprentice to Tsunade Senju. And you are?" I pause in drinking the warm broth to answer "My name is Obito Uchiha, we used to be teammates Rin." She drips the tray in shock and I hear gasps from the doorway.
Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kushina and Kakashi are in the doorway with a red headed man with rippled purple eyes in a black cloak with red clouds on it and a small blonde haired boy with whisker marks who looks about five. "Who are you two and how did all of you get here so fast?" I ask pointing at the two of them. The red head speaks up first "I am Nagato Uzumaki, leader of the Akatsuki and distant cousin to Kushina. The blonde is Naruto, Kushina's son." He states.
Jiraiya speaks up "As for how we got her so fast." Jiraiya says "we used my toads to get here of course!" "How long have I been gone if Rin looks in her twenties and Kushina has a son! Next thing you're going to tell me is that we are at peace and this Akatsuki group helps keep it?!" I practically shout. Kushina looks at us with a small sad smile
"Yes. A lot has happened since you disappeared. The war ended, Danzou was branded as a traitor and Minato died sealing the yang half into our newborn son. Someone stalled him enough so it escaped, but since they couldn't control the Kyuubi power it went rampaging. Minato only stopped it by sealing it into Naruto I don't know how I survived." By the time she finishes, there are tears rolling down her face and everyone looks sad.
(So much has happened and we were not there when they needed us.) Sayomi says to me through our link. Tsunade walks in with two clipboards "You two aren't going anywhere until you both are at a healthy weight and are no longer malnourished. I am going to write up a rehabilitation schedule and until finished we all will stay here. Got it!" We both nod quickly. "Good." She says "Now finish that soup we have work to do."
