Warning: This chapter wasn't Beta Readed.
C.H.A.P.T.E.R T.W.O - The Party Don't Start (Til She Walks In)
Obito eyes flashed like a jackpot. His initial smile full of childish excitement fades away, getting lost in awave of disappointment so strong most of his optimist goes down the drain. He keep this crushing disappointed look for around 2 seconds before something makes him blink, black eyes getting glazed over by confusion.
"Wait a moment" His eyebrows furrowed in a very sceptical frown "Did you said Nohara?"
He wasn't aware Rin had any more family members, much last one called Obito. It wasn't really a huge revelation, but the boy couldn't help but find it weird...
Everyone closest to the girl knows Rin loves her family, so much that when he asked what they are like she started talking about her parents hobbies, fears and overall personality for one hour straight, eventually going on about her grandfather and mother sister. She even mentioned a distant cousin with beautiful hair once but never once did this Nohara Obito popped up in the conversation.
Feeling more then a little confused the dark haired boy asked "You sure it wasn't an Uchiha Obito? Maybe you mixed the clans or something. . ."
"I am afraid not Uchiha-san." Namito calmly replied, a small bit of offence cracking out of his gentle voice, even Minato-sensei looked at him weirdly. Being accused of not recognizing someone from a clan that violently slapped their heredity in your face every single day must be a hell of a blow to the ego.
The black haired boy frowned, not sure if he should apologise to the young blond for accidentally messing with his ego -that is pretty rude of his part- or be sad that Namito knows a guy with his name but never heard about him. In the end he opted to say a lame "Oh, okay." while awkwardly taking some of the grass leaves off his clothes. After the fifth leave was dropped on the ground, he looked back at the boy that was as tiny as Kakashi and as gentle as sensei, hoping the crack on his goggles could mask his disappointment. If the previous conversation was anything to go by then Kakashi was the one that would help the little guy out, not Obito.
Definitely not Obito.
Sighing the boy looked away from the confused blond, deciding instend to talk with his personal sunshine. After all the glory she gained here she was bound to be happy, and a happy Rin is definitely the best kind of Rin.
As expected, her eyes are sparkling, like rich gems full of life reflecting the joy of her small smile, yet her brows are too close, almost touching, cute button nose twisting in confusion. She keep her musings to herself but Obito knows her well enough to spot the suspicion trying to break out of her happy bubble.
This Nohara Obito, Rin supposed relative, was a novelty even for Rin herself.
Weird...
Now,normally the medic confusion would be more than enough evidence to accuse Namito of lying, except of course for the small detail that Minato never lied, younger version of himself or not.
Something here didn't add up.
It was as if Kakashi decided to scr-
"MINATO!" A familiar high pitched voice yelled so loudly Obito momentaneously turned deaf, whatever train of thoughts he was in easily getting out of track and breaking in a million pieces.
Both Minatos eyes widened, one in disbelief and the other in fright "Shit..." Namito whispered, making the three other kids presents raise their eyebrow, if any version of Minato curses you know something bad is gonna happen.
As if smelling their fear the voice got closer, it fury shaking the trees of the training ground. "When I find your coward ass I won't go easy on you, dattebane!"
Knowing that hiding would just make things worth the young blond sighed, calming his nerves down and bravely accepting his fate " I am on the training ground!"
Dead silent was the only greetings he got.
Somewhat that was even scarier than the expected death treat...
Fortunately, or unfortunately, a loud frustrated noise eventually broke the silence, forcing everyone to face a very young and very terrifying Kushina. Her wild red locks floating around like whips ready to brutaly suffocate it next victim.
"You little wuss!What were you thinking, dattebane?!" The girl yelled, stomping to Namito side and quickly lacing her strong fists on the poor boy shirt "One moment we are eating ramen, the next you get all tense saying nonsense about losing control of most of your teleport seals and sensing chakra mistakes, " By now she was mercilessly shaking the boy,poring all of her worry and anger on her brutal assault " Then you still have the nerve to teleport without a fucking warning! I almost got a heart attack wuss! Thinking someone invaded the village, but no!" She suddenly stopped shaking him, only to violently start again two seconds later "You're just cheerfully talking with your! Yours...! Hum..."
She paused, letting Namito breathe and sparing a glance at the four terrified people watching her shake her victim. Her brow furrowed, hair going down "You four look familiar." here she rudely pointed at Minato-sensei "Specially blondy, are you related to the wuss or something?"
Minato students took a synchronized step back, innocently letting they sensei deal with his angry crush. Or unlast the kiddie version of his angry crush...
This day keep getting weirder and weirder.
Knowing from previous mistakes that a calming smile is not the answer Minato colored his features to a warm one " Or something. . . Is a little difficult to explain"
"Understatement of the year" Kakashi mumbled, you didn't need to see his face to know his eyes are rolling.
Kushina just raised her perfect eyebrows, somewhat making the innocent act look like a treat "Explain" Definitely a treat, the practically unconscious body on her fists making it even more effective.
"Well..." He mumbled, looking down at the cute version of his girlfriend " For starters I am an older version of Namikaze Minato,"
Everyone winced when Kushina grimp slipped, accidentally letting go of Namito vest and making the dizzy boy drop on the ground like a dead body, if the lound TUM was anything to go by, that was damage induncing.
"Say what now?" The girl yelled, sounding completely and utterly lost.
No one blamed her.
"I am almost sure we are from an alternative universe." Minato added, throwing his theory in everyone face and hoping no one would question it. If he was forced to explain dimensional theory to his students, there was a small change kakashi could understand but the rest would be as lost as a duck without it mother.
"That's bullshit. " Kushina mumbled automatically, brain still processing the information. "Stuffs like that doesn't exist."
"Actu...aly..." Namito squeezed out, quickly stabilizing his breathing with Rin medical help. When did the girl even got there?" it k-kind of d-does"
The redhead wasn't that confident. She looked at her awkward best friend, then back at the nervous Minato then back as her friend.
"Well..." The girl ears turned red, face conflicted. The similarities are to creppy to be coincidence, hell even the kunais on that attractive man hip was identical to the teleports kunai her friend keep babbling about "You do act like him, and look like him..."
"We are the same person." Namito pointed out, briefly thanking Rin when his breathing got back to normal.
"Sure, dattebane. Lets roll with that." Kushina huffed, a little distracted by the fact her toothpick of a best friend would be hot as hell in a few years. How do you even react to this?
Do you celebrate? Freak out? Try to ignore it?
Most girls her age would pick the first option. Having someone with such a nice body and sweet smile is undeniably nice , blue, blue eyes are not that bad to look at either, especially when framed by his ridiculous blond hair. How could something so stupid be adorable she will never know, it made him look like a wuss tough, that with his blond locks looking similar to a goddamn sun.
She may or may not secretly like it tough.
Two pairs of blue eyes innocently rested on her form . The girl froze, cheeks getting warmer despite the knowledge they can't read her mind. Not whiling to let the two Minatos spot her blush the ginger girl stubbornly glared away, brown eyes landing on the awkward kids watching her. Inwardly sighing in relief by the convenient distraction she yelled "Hey!" The boy that looked oddly like Kakashi-sensei raised his eyebrows, the other two blinked "Are you guys from this alternative universe too?"
The boys nodded and the smiled warmly, her eyes shining in pure adoration "It looks like it Kushina-san." The absolute respect placed on her name made Kushina blink, not much people bothered to remenber the Violent Uzumaki name, and even fewer like her existence .
"How do you know my na..." The violent girl trailed off when she spotted Rin purple marks, realization quickly downing on her "No way, Rin-chan?!"
The girl didn't even had time to nod before Kushina pinched her cheek, making a sound that could be considered an energetic squeal "I can't believe it! You're so cute!"
" Thanks Kushina-san, I could say the same for you." The Nohara shyly replied, her ears getting suspiciously pink.
" That's such a Rin answer, dattebane. "The violent girl rolled her eyes, distractly pinching the Nohara cheek one last time " You haven't changed at all."
The healer blinked "Thanks?"
"No problem." Kushina laughed, easily switching attention to Kakashi. Seeing so many powerful adults reduced to awkward childrens was strange. Surreal . Like a dream she won't remember when she wake up but still enjoy, cause is pretty damn amazing "And you're definitely Kakashi-sensei. No one else wear this stupid mask"
Obito snorted loudly. The masked boy scowled, he opened his mouth to sass around and probably be punched in the face when his sensei shook his head subtly mouthing 'If you be a jerk, she'll kill you'.The masked boy wisely shut his pretty mouth, not wishing to be suffocated like Namito.
Intrigued, the hot headed habanero turned to Obito, her amused smiled crumbling to a confused frown almost instantaneously. This didn't escaped the boy sharp eyes " Please tell me you know me" The Uchiha boy pleads, his anxiety practically killing his insides. Why isn't anyone recognizing him? There must be some kind of explanation. Was he away in a long term mission? Retired and baking bread? On vocation for gods know why?
Dead...?
Kushina tilted her head, looking at him strangely "I have definitely seen you before, hell I think I saw you last week."
So not dead. The boy smile in relief, lifting his hands up in victory "Yes!"
"But I have no idea who you're goggles."
Still hopeful the boy announced "The name is Uchiha Obito. Does it ring any bell?"
"Obito?" Her frown deepened, she then proceeded to stare at his face. Brown eyes so intense, the Uchiha boy couldn't help but blush, feeling self conscious of the damage Tora gifted him. Awkwardly slowly he scratched his cheek, not sure what he should do while the girl analized him.
She stared for some longs seconds before something clicked "You've got to be kidding me.." She ignored Obito eager look and turned to Namito " Is no wonder you didn't recognize him, the boy look different!"
"Different?" Obito asked curiously, earning a bored look from one of his teammate and a intrigued look from the other.
"How so?" Minato asked. He himself wasn't sure what Obito would accomplish. That boy is like a ticking bomb,ready to explode delivering disaster everywhere only to then panic, mending most of his mistakes by sheer willpower.
"He is adorable." The girl said incredulously, her disgruntled face implying that this adjective shouldn't be connected to Obito. Ever.
That wasn't the answer Minato expected...
Kakashi snorted, watching with well hidden amusement as the deadlast lips tilted down, torn between being offended and embarrassed. "What's that supposed to mean?!"?!"
"That wasn't very descriptive." Namito agreed.
"Just think wuss" Kushina yelled at her friend, ignoring the Uchiha like a pro "What's the only Obito you know?"
Everyone already got the suspicion the only Obito the blond boy know is a Nohara. So when Namito politely raised a disbelieving eyebrow everyone shared his feeling
"Are you insinuation he is him?" The blond boy softly said in disbeliev " You shouldn't jump to conclusions, all they share in comum is the same name Kushina. Nohara-sama cannot change his chakra signatures, plus he doesn't have the sharingan."
"He so have!" Kushina revealed smugly, placing a rude finger on the boy chest " Mikoto-chan told me! He used to be from the Uchiha clan, but some drama happened and he kind of run away...?" She frowned, not satisfied with her answer ""I am not sure, Mikoto-chan haven't tould me all the details."
The blond prodigy frowned mulling over his violent crush words "Excuse my rudeness Uchiha-san," He started, knowing the famous red eyes is a touchy subject "but have you awaken your sharingan?"
"No, not yet" Obito looked down, eyes going darker. He faked a smile and brightly added "But when I get, it will be the best sharingan ever!"
Kakashi rolled his eyes "Sure, lets just wait a few decades."
"Shut up Bakakashi."
"What?" Mister sassy pants mocked, somewhat still looking bored "Can't handle the truth?"
"Is your roten attitude I can support, you stuck up bastard!" Obito yelled, his whole body movements amplifying his annoyance.
"Not now boys," Rin warned in her disappointed moma tone, even going as far as placing her hands of her hips and sigh"What did I said about giving bad impressions?"
The masked prodigy frowned in displeasure, The Uchiha looked down mumbling a dejected "He started tough..."
"Obito" She warned, eyebrow raised. He obediently shut up, deciding instend to glare at his bored rival.
For some reason the Uzumaki girl keep quiet, her beautiful eyes shining in mirt.
Both Minatos frowned when the girl innocently smiled at then,this could only mean one thing, "You're planning something." the older one announced, already knowing this wouldn't end well. Namito seemed to share his worry "Whatever it is don't do it." He may admire a hell of a lot about Kushina but her brilliant plans isn't on his list.
Casually ignoring the advice the girl rubbed her hands, sneaking behind the mama ninja while she went on lecture mode and whispering a not suspicious at all "Are you dating someone?~"
Rin actually yelped, instinctively jumping away when she heard a voice right next to her ear "Kushina-san!"the girl blushed, voice higher then normal "Of course not! I-I don't have time for that" Judging by the stubborn way she avoided her two teammate gazes it was bullshit.
"Come on Rin-chan! You must unlast like Ob-Hum, hum!"
"Don't!" Namito tensely exclaimed as soon as he noticed her plan, quickly flashing by her side and slapping his hand on Kushina mouth. Despite his determination it was obvious he couldn't believe he actually did this to his crush "T-they don't even date each other, you'll just make things awkward."
The violent girl blinked equally surprised by the wuss action. She shook his hands away from her mouth, revealing a big smirk blinding enough to catch Namito out of guard.
"Nonsense, this is fate!" Kushina growled in determination, her twinkling eyes betraying her amusement. The stupid girl was probably doing it to irritate Namito "I am just speeding things up!"
The four dimensional traveler just watched as the two kids argue. Rin looking slightly confused, if not eager "Is this about my h-husband...?"
"Yes! I am talking about the love of your li-" Namito politely slapped his hand on her mouth again, no one even asked how he made such a rude gesture look polite " Please don't do anything dra-Ouch! "The boy winced, instinctively taking his hand away, blue eyes looking strangely at the red mark on his pale hand "Did you just bite me...? Really Kushina, bites?"
The girl sticked her tongle out, ignoring her best friend tired look and skiping close to Obito, all the while smiling her predatory smile, long red hairs slowly rising in the air. The clueless child was suscesfuly intimidaded "Y-Yes?"
"Have you ever wondered why you changed your surname?"
The boy blinked, taking a terrified step back. "A l-little?"
Rin froze. Cheeks getting brighter and brighter, heating up faster than the Uchiha great fireballs "Are you implying...?"
"Yup, you two are maried!" Kushina laughed, playfully punching the medic on the shoulder and adding as an afterthought "Congratulations!"
The Uchiha boy froze, his lips opened and closed without making a sound, as tough his mouth wanted to say something but his brain haven't caught up with it yet. The more painfully slow seconds passed by the more rigid Obito seemed to get. The excessive blood on his cheeks spreading to his ears and neck coloring his whole face in an embarrassing red even more vibrant than the flashy orange of his outfit. He couldn't even smile his dopey smile properly before fainting and falling on the ground.
Namito looked at the poor boy and sighed. Vaguely wondering why no responsable ninja decided to check the noisy training ground .
