Disclaimer I don't own Naruto only my oc's
"I think we should get to know each other better." My roommate says to me over breakfast.
"Hmm?" I look at her while drinking my green tea.
"Since we will be living together we shouldn't be strangers. You know tell each other about our likes, dislikes, hobbie's. Things like that." The black hair beauty gives my a wide smile.
"Oh...uh ok." I continue to play the shy act and awkwardly shrug my shoulders, giving a half smile.
"Well as you know I am Sakimi. I love chocolate, going out, my boyfriend and fluffy animals. My dislikes are insects of any kind, girl's who don't know boundaries, and exercising. Let's see I love the color purple, rainy days and painting." She finishes her introduction and her deep red eyes wait for me to start mine.
Clearing my throat I begin. "I'm Rina. I like red bean mochi, reading, exercising, and helping others. I dislike really spicy things, hot weather, and those who make this world a more evil place. I love the color orange and hope to meet Tsunade of the sannin." Sakimi raises her well plucked eyebrow and taps her chin In thought.
"Tsunade of the sannin...why does that sound so familiar." She continues to think. Finishing up my rice I speak up.
"She is from the legendary sannin, known for her medical ninjutsu and has the strength of a hundred. She is the best there is and was one of the reasons I started learning medical ninjutsu, I really look up to her." I say with admiration while talking about the slug princess.
Sakimi's eyes widen and snaps her fingers. "Right! Now I remember who she is. That is some idol you have there. Regular people just want to meet someone famous or something." She tells me while lazily picking on the rest of her food.
"I guess I'm not normal." My lips form a thin line and give a little shrug.
"That is never a bad thing. Being normal is to boring." She grins at me and i bob my head in agreement.
"Any family? I am the middle child of three kids. My family lives in konoha and from what I've been told I have relatives in Suna, iwa, and land of hot springs. What about you?" The smile I had before fades and my eyes widened slightly. My face falls and I look down at my now empty tea cup.
"I-I'm...I am the only child and as for my parents they both passed away. I don't know if I do have any other relatives." I say quitely. I could feel her gaze on me knowing she didn't know what to say.
"I'm sorry." I shake my head at her.
"It's ok. You didn't know, so you don't have to apologize." I give her a forceful smile and endure the pain I felt in my chest. She gave me a small sad smile in return.
"Well if you want, you can have one of my annoying brothers. I'll be more than happy to give both of them to you." She chuckles trying to lighten the mood. She then turns her head towards the clock hanging on the wall and her face filled with shock.
"Shit! I forgot we have to be at the hospital earlier than usual. You can leave your dishes there we can worry about them later." She says in a rush already getting up and heading towards the front door. I follow right behind her. After putting on my shoes I get out the front door first and see that our next door neighbor was also leaving his home.
"Good morning." I smile and bow my head to him, I was always taught to respect the elderly.
"Ehh." The old man lazily waved me off and continued to walk toward the stairs. His action cause me to deadpan in my spot. Sakimi wasn't kidding when she said he was grumpy and bitter. Still frozen in my spot, Sakimi finishes locking the door and walks up to me.
"That old man, I told you not to bother with him." She shakes her head at me and puts her keys in her bag. "Come on let's go." She pulls on my wrist and we make our way to the hospital in a fast walking pace.
"Why is he like that?" I ask a little curious about him.
"I don't know, he was already like that when I moved in. I know he owns a ninja supply shop not to far from where we live." She explains. I see she was starting to breath a little heavier from trying to maintain the quick steps.
"Really?" I say. That perk my interest. He seem to be a little to old to be handling a shop. Especially one that sells weapons supplies to shinobi.
"Yeah, but don't bother going, he won't sell to anyone who is non shinobi. I tried once and he kicked me out!" She shouts annoyed from that memory.
Huh looks like I will have to find more information about him.
The fallowing days have became a routine. I wake up, train, be back before Sakimi woke up, get ready for work, go to work, come home, study, eat, sleep, and repeat the next day. I thought this town would bring more excitement into my life, but so far the only shinobi that pass through this town are chunin or a group of genin who didn't have bounties. There have been jounin, but their bounties were to small to even bother with it. I wish something would happen, anything. I was beginning to get stuck in a boring rut. I shake my thoughts away and focus on my meditation. Tobi told me to build my chakra coil's so I can master another chakra nature. Then I finally be ranked as a jounin.
I don't know which chakra nature I want to master next. It can't be electricity, since I have earth nature, it would be difficult to learn opposite nature's, same thing goes with water. That only leaves me fire and wind nature. I would have to discuss more with Tobi on which one should I learn next. I begin to feel Zetsu's chakra signature approaching. Opening my eyes I look to see him coming out of the side of the tree. I keep my face blank and wait for him to speak.
"We found nothing on an old man by the named Takashi Masaru." The white zetsu speaks. Ever since the little argument I had with black zetsu we have been giving each the silent treatment. To be honest I'm glad he is, I don't want to hear any of his assumptions he has about me.
"What? Nothing at all?" I say to white zetsu and my brows crease.
He shakes his head, "Nope. There are no records about him living anywhere else, before moving to this town. it's like he doesn't exist." He explains.
"He maybe using a fake name." I say thinking of a logical explanation.
"Should we alert Tobi about this?" Zetsu asks.
"No, I don't want him to waste his time if he turns out to be harmless. Till then I'll try to gather as much information about him as I can." Zetsu just nods his head and sinks back into the earth.
I get up from my meditation position and stand up. Looks like I will be able to get out of my rut after all.
"Hey Rina after work do you want to get something to eat." Sakimi says behind a desk while handing me a file of a patients medical history.
"Sure." I shrug my shoulders and begin to read the file.
"Great! I know what place we should go, if you want to. It's a little ways out of town, but they sell the best dango you will ever taste." She says.
"Excuse us." A group of nurse's say while pushing a gurnie with a man groaning out in pain.
One of the nurse's comes up to me. "Rina-sama we need you." He says.
"What happened?" I hand the file back to Sakimi and face the nurse.
"This man had a cooking accident and has third degree burns all over his upper chest and arm." He explains.
"I'll see you after work?" Sakimi speaks up. I turn my head to her and bob my head. Then I follow the nurse to where I was needed.
After a long and exhausting shift I head to where Sakimi told me to meet her.
"Ready?" She smiles
"Yeah." I say and we begin to walk out of the hospital.
"Have you had a chance to traveled around this town?" She asks to make conversation while taking her hair out of a bun and let's it loose.
"No I haven't and I wouldn't know where to go." I say while watching her run her fingers through her hair and untangling the knot's. Honestly why does everyone around me have to be so dam attractive. I think to myself feeling a little jealous how she can easily tame her hair like nothing.
She then slings her arm around my shoulders."We both have the day off tomorrow, I can show you around tomorrow and take you to all my favorite places." She says looking down at me.
"Sure..Why not." Feeling uncomfortable with her in my personal space, I akwardly try to take her arm off me, but fail.
"We will have so much fun, no offense but, I always see you studying. How long have you been studying medical ninjutsu for?"
"Ummm for almost four and half years." I say.
She finally takes her arm off me and looks at me with amazement, "You're kidding. That is impressive. I really thought you studied a lot longer. I have seen and heard what you have done. To be able to do that with only 4 years of learning is mind blowing. You are like a prodigy." She praises. I smile and blush at her words. I have been complemented before, but never been called a prodigy.
"Have you ever thought about having an apprentice?" That question took me by surprise. This was the first time someone has asked me that.
"I-I don't think I'd make the best teacher you know, since I am always traveling. If I did have a student I have to make sure they had great chakra control, which they may not have. Are you interested in studying it."
Her eyes widened and she rapidly shakes her head, "No, I don't think I can handle the stress of someone else's life in my hands." She then looks at her hands.
"It does get stressful at times. I won't lie and say I don't blame myself sometimes. I have lost some patients, because there was nothing more I could do, but the most heart breaking thing was having to tell their friends and family that he or she didn't make it. The look on their faces. The little hope they held on to crushed, you always have to carry that weight and try your best to move on. I guess we all forget sometimes that we aren't immune to death and it can come at any time. All I could do is know I did my best and hope those patients are in a better place now." I say quitely while looking at the dirt road beneath my feet. We walk in silence for some time and I pay my respects to those I lost.
Sakimi decides to speak up, " I don't want to talk about deep stuff like that...well sober, so have you ever gone out to a club or dancing?" She tried her best to the subject and I'm glad she did.
After a long walk we finally make it to the small dango shop. A waiter sits us at a table and Sakimi explains which ones I should try and her favorites.
"Are you ready to order?" The waiter asks.
"I will have the matarashi dango and green tea." I tell him and hand him back the menu.
"I'll have the same, but instead of tea I'll have sake." Sakimi orders. The waiter bows and leaves to put our order.
"Have you ever tried sake?" She asks
"No."
"Want to try some." I was about to answer, but the wait returns with our drinks.
"Thank you " I tell him. He smiles and walks away. I look at Sakimi and see she pour some of the rice liquor into a small cup. She then hands it to me.
"Here." She says waiting for me to take the glass. I shyly decline and push the drink back towards her.
"I'm ok. I don't think my stomach can handle it." I say as an excuse.
She pulls the drink back and raises her black brow at me, "You really are innocent." She grumbles and drinks all the sake that was in the cup. I chuckle and give her a closed eye smile. That is exactly how I want others to think of me. The nice innocent girl who blends into the crowd.
Taking this chance I scan the different chakra signatures in the room. I feel two large signatures located by the far right of the restaurant. Casually I begin to look at the decor of the restaurant.
"You weren't kidding when you said they keep everything traditional." I say to Sakimi.
"Yeah and alot of people don't know about this place." She tells me while filling another cup of sake. I look at the direction where the large chakra signatures where located, only to be shocked in horror about who I found there.
Siting at the table was none other than the man responsible for the annihilation of the uchiha clan and sitting with him was orochimaru of the sannin.
"Is something wrong?" Sakimi asks looking at me. Shit I was being obvious.
"I-I..." I quickly wave for her to come closer to me, but she ignored me and looks over her shoulder to them. When she turns back to face me she had a giant grin on her face.
"I can see why you reacted that way, that is one cutie sitting over there." My eyes widened on how she discribed the clan murder. Thinking fast and ignoring the small vomit coming up my throat. I use her assumption for my reaction earlier.
"I-I guess." I force a blush and look at my tea cup pretending I was embarrassed.
"Well let's go talk to him, I can be your wing women." She says and was about to stand up. I quickly grabbed her wrist.
"No! we can't do that."
"Here you go." The waiter comes back with out food. Grateful for his timing I Iet go of Sakimi's wrist.
"Thank you." I say to him. He bows and leaves us to eat.
"Don't be such a pussy." Sakimi says and begins to eat her dango. I quickly look back at itachi and orochimaru then back to her.
"I think he is gay." I whispere quitely for her to hear as I can.
"What kind of excuse is that!" She shouts. I face palm at her voice level. I signal her to come closer so I can explain to her why I thought that. She leans closer again.
"Just look at the person he is sitting with, don't you think it looks like a man dressed up to be a woman." She was about to look.
"Don't be to obvious."
"Yeah, yeah." She waved me off and took a look at them.
She turns back and shrug her shoulders "Tough shit Rina you're right." Then returns to eat her dango.
At the corner of my eye is see there were standing up. Trying to seem calm and natural I begin to eat. I pray to kami that orochimaru didn't hear me call him a woman. I'd be the first person to be dead in this place if he did. Ignoring the clenching in my stomach, I catch a quick glance at them. Trying to hide the shock on my face I bit the inside of my cheek. The cloaks they were wearing were the same as Tobi's and Zetsu's. I noticed I was staring and see that the uchiha was looking at my direction. I quickly look away and down at food.
"Waiter! Another sake please!" Sakimi shouts. I hide my face in my hands on the scene she was making. I feel their chakra signatures begining to leave the restaurant. Thank kami they didn't choose to kill everyone in here especially me. Drinking my tea I feel them finally leave the restaurant. I let out a sigh of relief.
"Is there a bathroom here?" I ask Sakimi.
"Yeah hic over there." She points behind me with her empty dango stick. I sweat drop that she was getting drunk. I should tell her to stop when I come back.
Inside the bathroom I rinse my face with cold. Doing another chakra check I could no longer sense them in my range. .Fuck. Why... Just why were they wearing those cloaks. Why are they part of Tobi's organization. This just doesn't make any sense, they are evil and cold blooded killers. Why would they want to being peace in this world when they are the ones who make it painful in the first place!
I hear a toilet flush making me snap out of my thoughts. I rinse my face one more time. I fix my wig a little and leave the restroom. I will have to contact Tobi and have him answer my questions.
The next day I spend the whole morning with Sakimi. I had to carry her halfway home last night if I never trained we would have not made it home. The who day so far we spent going to her favorite places like she promised. Mostly were just clothing store and restaurants. It was fun until she decided I needed a make over.
"You know you should wear, not revealing clothes, but at least something a little more tight. So far I always see you wearing long sleeves shirts, long skirts or loose pants." She says while pulling on my long sleeves shirt.
I pull my arm back and shrug, "They're comfortable."
"But you never show any skin, no wonder you hate hot weather." I ignore her and continue to look around. There was a reason I wore such un-revealing clothes. It was to hide my muscles, I was toned and had a little more muscle then a normal girl would have. I didn't want to lose my cover that easily. I then felt two chakra signatures. They weren't big as the ones I felt yesterday, but they were bigger than a normal civilian. I felt one retreating and another stay put. Looking at there direction I see that Sakimi was running towards that direction.
"Wait! Sakimi!" I chase after her.
"Awwww such a cute doggie!" She says in a baby voice. I walk around her and see a small brown pug with a small blue vest and blue konoha head band. I try to fallow the chakra signature and realize it was coming from the dog, I deadpan. I guess the one that left was also a dog. They have to be one of those summoning that some shinobi have. I see Sakimi begin to scratch his ears. His tail wags in joy.
"Yeah right there." He speaks up.
"Ahhh! it talks!" She jumps away from him. I roll my eyes at her, I already learned that some summonings talk, so I wasn't that surprised.
"Leave him alone can't you see the head band he is a shinobi." I scolded her. She ignores me and continues to play with the dog. I then felt the same chakra signature that was with this dog earlier coming with a much larger one. I'm guessing that it's his owner. They are probably after the uchiha and orochimaru.
I look back at the dog, "Sorry to bother you." I bow at him and grab sakimi's arm. "Let's go Sakimi." I say pulling her with me. If they were after the uchiha and orochimaru they will probably asks us questions if we have seen them. Sakimi will most likely say yes. Then they will lead us to be interrogated, which will be an issue for me.
"Wait! He was going to let me touch his paws!" She tries to struggle free. I shake my head and look back where the nin dog was. I see an anbu of the hidden leaf with his/her mask on, talking to the blue vest wearing pup. The only thing I could catch was gray hair before he/she disappeared into a swirl of leaves.
I was doing my morning training when I finally felt Tobi's signature.
"T-tobi!" I stop my warm ups and run into him crashing myself into his chest.
"What's wrong?" He says worriedly. I squeeze him tighter.
"I-i spotted the killer of the uchia massacre. He was here...and with orochimaru!" I tell him.
"I know that they were here. They are part of my organization. " He explains. I was shocked and pull away from him.
"Why...why would he part of it. He is a killer, he killed a whole clan in a night and orochimaru is the sannin that went rouge." I say in disbelief.
"They are helping." He says like there isn't anything wrong.
"But they are criminals! Murderers! Are they killing more people?! You told me that there wouldn't be any innocent blood shead." I argue.
"There isn't. They are just doing the same you are, gathering bounties and information." He explains.
"But, but." My head spins, I am shock on what he was saying. How can he be so calm about working with them.
"Look, you really think I can do this all by myself with zetsu." He tells me in a hard tone. I look at him for a couple seconds and shake my head.
"Exactly. In this world if you want change you need the best of the best. You shouldn't worry about anything but your own part ok." He tells me trying to comfort me. I understand what he was saying, but I wasn't comfortable knowing I was kind of working alongside some of the most dangerous people in the world.
"I-I don't know about this?" I say starting to doubt this whole plan.
"Do you love me?" Tobi asks.
"Yes I do." I quickly say without a second thought. He walks closer to to stand Infront of me.
"Then trust me and fallow me. Do this for me " he says and raises his hands to cup my face. "For us." He whispers. I stare at his single dark eye, all the doubt I had before melted away with his touch and words.
"Ok." He then let's go of my face and wraps his arms around my waist.
"Come here." He squeezes me closer to him, " For the future anyone who has a black cloak and red clouds is part of my organization, and if they question or cause you trouble, you tell them you are part of our spy network and that they can ask zetsu." He says softly.
"I won't need to meet them or treat any of them do I?" I ask not wanting to help relieve any type of pain or discomfort they may have.
"No, we have orochimaru for that." He tells me and kisses the crown of my head.
"Don't be scared, Rin." He whispers, I smile and enjoy his presence. I will do this for us... I love you Tobi.
ok. If you haven't figured it out yet Tobi is manipulating Rina, as you can tell by the nick name and the way he making Rina so much like Rin. I wanted to keep Obito close to character as possible. I mean he isn't just going to move one from Rin that easily without any dilemma. This is Obito Uchiha, the guy who started the fourth great ninja war and made kirigatuke go to civil for one girl. You really think he will just love someone else that easily. The only reason he is even nice and all lovey dubby with Rina, because it is everything he ever wanted to do with Rin. He using Rina as a way to make up for the lost chances he had with Rin. I know it is messed up, but Rina dosent know that and you will just have to continue to read and see how there relationship will develop.(thank you to who took the time to read this authors note some people just skip it... I am guilty on doing that too.-_-')
