Sorry that I Couldn't Keep My Eye on You

An AU where Obito returned to Konoha after his captivity, adopted his sensei's kid and ends up as the Hokage. Only his best friend Kakashi had already taken his life, leaving Obito as the sole survivor of their rag tag team. Excerpt:“Minato was my sensei. He was very similar to a father for me. I’d like to raise his child." Hiruzen stroked his chin. “Mikoto already petitioned the counsel to allow her and Fugaku to adopt the child. She was denied. The counsel has many trepidations about the Uchiha clan having control over the jinchuriki.” “The clan wouldn’t want him for that! He’s just an innocent child. He didn’t ask for the Nine Tailed Fox! The same way our clan didn’t ask for the sharingan.”“There is some suspicion that the Uchiha clan may have been responsible for the Nine Tails attack.” Hiruzen said. “I do not share these suspicions, but a minority on the counsel do.” Obito’s jaw dropped. “The Uchiha clan helped found this village. Generations of Uchihas have given their lives to protect this village! There is no way that kind of thing would happen.”

I’ve had a lot of free time over the last few months and watched Naruto and Shippuden. This fanfiction is the result. There are going to be canon mistakes as I’m not really going for accuracy here. The romance here will also be very slow burn. Anyway, I hope you enjoy. Also- I watched the dubbed version because I adore Kakashi and a few other’s English voice actors, so this fanfic will read more like the dubbed version of the anime, such as first and last names and all that. I hope it doesn’t irritate anyone too much. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed writing again :)
