Visiting Konoha
__~Danzo~__
Danzo knew something was…off, yet he couldn’t quite place his finger on it. He had checked, and there was no evidence of anything being wrong. If anything, everything was going perfectly, so why was he feeling so anxious?
It was because his intuition and instincts were going off, and a shinobi who ignored them was a dead one. However everything was calm so Danzo didn’t think much of it until one day one of his private shinobis vanished, but things had started going downhill for him long before then. Minato’s Team went for a mission and returned missing a member.
It wasn’t anything special to Danzo, especially when he heard it had been the Uchiha, which had made sense considering how worthless the child had been for their powerful bloodline. However, what drew his attention was what the young Hatake brought back with him. A sharingan, and not just any sharingan, but one from that halfbreed uchiha. Danzo had felt disappointed, of course, since he had dismissed the child, thinking them too, unlike an actual Uchiha to have their eyes, and yet the evidence was in his face. If he hadn’t ignored the child, then he could have used them to help Konoha in the future, unlocked their potential, and finally, those Uchiha bastards would finally be good for something. Even more disappointing was that the child was an orphan and an outcast; no one would even care or notice the child missing.
“Such a wasted opportunity….”
Danzo had wanted to get his hands on a sharingan to unlock its powers and use it for Konoha, but he had never found a chance. The Uchiha went through measures to ensure their Sharingan was secure, and unlike a Bakugan, a Sharingan could not be activated or deactivated once removed. This meant that to get a usable sharingan, you had to take it from an Uchiha while they had it active, which just wasn’t possible from their corpses. Worse, trying to remove it from the young Hateke wasn’t possible, considering all the influential figures around him.
Though in the end the boy ended up being the least of his worries as Danzo watched more of his ROOT members go missing and his plans with Hanzo go south as if someone knew of them. If that was the case Danzo was going to find them and deal with them by any means necessary.

__~OBITO~__
“Oh why am I here..? This is just a bad idea…I should leave,” Obito muttered to himself, regretting every decision he had ever made in his life. Here he stood at the outskirts of Konoha waiting to see his friends yet his rational mind kept shooting at him all the things that could go wrong with this. His mind and heart raged in a war that eventually ended with his heart winning.
“Just a peek. I just want to see how they are. “Obito compromised and began to sneak into Konoha, which shouldn’t have been as easy as it had been. He made a mental note to ensure that the Akatsuki’s own security wasn’t as bad as this. Going through the villains underneath the bright moon felt…nostalgic. Sure, obito may have never indeed seen the village as his home or could have cared if it was wiped out, yet it didn’t change that the Uchiha had grown here. He had friends and his two brothers here. Obito finally reached his first destination, the hospital, where he could sense Rin’s chakra. He landed on the top of a roof as he stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure of Rin. He knew it was her, yet it was staring because she was so much older than Obito remembered her, older than she ever got. Her hair was reaching just past her shoulder, and she was wearing the usual doctor’s coat. Everything combined made Obito so…so proud, so happy to see what Rin accomplished. Obito had to force himself to avert his eyes because he just couldn’t stop staring at Rin, who was looking so full of life, but he managed and began to move again. He sensed some familiar people, and his heart leaped to his chest in relief. It would appear that Sakumo was visiting his sensei and kushina, considering he was in their house. As much as Obito wanted to see his sensei, Sakumo, and Kushina with his own eyes, there were no windows to look inside, and going closer would risk his identity being revealed as Obito was aware he was not nearly as skilled as those 3.
However obito was satisfied knowing that sakumo was still alive along with his sensei and kushina. Therefore with one last longing look at the building he began to look for kakashi. At first, he couldn’t find the silver-headed boy until Obito recalled a place he would be.
Sadly, obito’s guess was correct as he watched from the treeline as the young Hatake stood in front of Obito’s “grave.” Guilt rose from Obito’s stomach and traveled up his body, but he pushed it down as he reminded himself that things could have been so much worse if he hadn’t faked his death. Rin would have been dead, Kushina would have been dead, Minato-sensei would have been, and basically everyone he cared for would have been dead.
“In the end for them, to keep them safe even if it hurts they will be- no they will stay safe.” This was Obito’s goal, his reason, his will and determination.
Obito watched for a moment as Kakashi adjusted the beautiful white flowers on his grave slab before standing up. No words were uttered, yet all was spoken by the look on Kakashi’s face. There was a brief moment of peace before it was broken when Kakashi’s eyebrows burrowed, and he began to look around, confused.
“Obito…?” The uchiha in question froze and immediately withdrew into Kamui in fear of being discovered. Once he landed in his safe space he opened a small gap to watch kakashi sniff around before his shoulder’s slump down. “Just my imagination…” Kakashi uttered looking defeated before walking away, Obito was confused but a chick status check told him everything.
_Kakashi Hatake(LV- 69)- The Prodigy Hatake _OP=98_
- Misses Obito Uchiha, his pack member, like a lost limb
- He feels like he is hallucinating since he believes he has smelled Obito’s scent.
(Currently a bit hungry and knuckles aching)
Obito had never felt so stupid when he realized that his cover had nearly been blown because he overlooked one thing. Hatake’s didn’t rely on chakra sensing or other normal methods but rather their own physical traits, like smell. Thankfully, Kakashi was too deep in his head to think logically (which Obito couldn’t help but despise deep down because it was his fault), yet there wouldn’t be a second chance. Obito couldn’t keep making stupid mistakes like this, in this cruel shinobi world even the smallest of mistake lead to severe consequences and Obito column’t allow that.
The uchiha closed the window and looked around kamui with a thoughtful expression. He knew he could use Kamui to erase, hide, or keep things here but how far could he push it? Could he use Kamui to hide his scent, his noise, his movements? It would take a lot of expirentmenting, but first he had to go check on the AKatsuki trio and see their progress with their current plans of making the akatsuki into a mercenary group. Obito closed his eyes allowing himself a brief moment to dwell in his emotions before the gamer mind kicked in. When it did Obito opened his eyes and came out of Kamui in front of the trio with determined eyes hidden beneath his mask.
