Chapter 4- Arriving in Konoha

(Next Morning)

Minato, Jiraiya and Kakashi all awoke and exited their tents all ready to head back to konoha but when they saw Obito and Rin in a tree they decided to scare them. Then they would tease them once they were fully awake. Kakashi decided to do the honors of waking them up, so Minato and Jiraiya stood their as Kakashi walked forward before jumping up into the tree walking to the asleep Obito and Rin.

"So what do you think is going to happen to him" Jiraiya asked Minato thinking something was bound to happen here.

"Kakashi is about to get another wake up call so just enjoy the show that you are about to see" Minato says smiling looking away from Jiraiya as he turned and looked into the tree were Kakashi just reached Obito and Rin's sleeping forms.

Once Kakashi bent down and began to shake Obito awake. Kakashi did not expect a fist to slam into his face sending Kakashi sprawling before falling off the branch that they were on colliding with the ground not able to get up because he was stunned from no thinking something like that would have happened trying to wake up Obito.

"I am never going to try and wake Obito up again" Kakashi thought sprawled on the ground. Obito not knowing what head did to Kakashi slowly leaned forward from the back of the tree rubbing the sleep out of his eyes while he shook Rin awake. Rin opened her eyes to see Obito right next to her before she shrieked and back handed Obito out of the tree to land right on Kakashi.

"Why am I in a tree" Rin thought to herself. She then realized that she came up here in the middle of the night and laid against Obito making her eyes widen as she jumped out of the tree

lifting Obito off Kakashi and helped him to stand up forgetting about Kakashi who slowly got up from the ground after Obito had gotten up.

"I'm so sorry Obito-kun I completely forgot I went up their with you last night" Rin says to Obito concerned if he got hurt because of her and not realizing she used the suffix for Obito's name.

"It's ok Rin I understand, I'm fine you didn't hurt me too bad and I know you didn't mean to" Obito says to Rin smiling softly at her concern for him. Rin just nodded while blushing softly realizing how close she was to Obito at that moment pulling back away from him but she was saved as Kakashi walked next to them.

Kakashi looked at Obito with a scowl on his face a little ticked off that he was punched out of the tree by Obito.

"What's wrong Kakashi did a squirrel bite your ass or something?" Obito asked Kakashi. Kakashi just kept scowling at him as Obito started to laugh.

"You punched me out off the branch you were in when I tried to wake you. I ended up falling out of the tree thanks to you" Kakashi told him as that only made Obito laugh even harder at him but before the two could get into a fight Minato and Jiraiya walked up to them.

"Ok, guys calm down now. We have to head out now to be able to make it back to Konoha by night fall. So we got to leave soon, you guys got twenty minutes to get all you things ready" Minato says to them as they all rushed to go get their stuff ready. Jiraiya walked up next to Minato once he was done talking with his team

"I'm going to send a message back to sensei about the mission and the outcome from the ambush they tried on us. I need the details from you before sending out the message" Jiraiya told Minato who nodded and began to tell Jiraiya all of what happened on the mission, Once Minato finished explaining all about the mission Jiraiya turned around and walked a couple feet away from him.

"Summoning jutsu" Jiraiya shouted out slamming his hand on the ground making a medium sized orange frog appear before him. Jiraiya handed the scroll to the frog before he explained what he wanted done with the scroll to the frog.

"Deliver this message to the sandaime hokage" Jiariya told the frog watching it nod. The frog then vanished in a puff of smoke as Jiraiya got up from his kneeling position. Jiraiya turned towards Minato once the frog disappeared with the message.

"This mission is going to cause a lot of problems back in the village especially with the uchiha's since Obito unlocked his sharingan. Although they kicked him out of the clan for not having the sharingan this is going to cause a few problems" Jiraiya say to Minato sighing from having to deal with a lot of things once they return to Konoha. Minato nodded in understanding and waited till his team was out to ask Obito something. Once Obito came out of his tent and took it down. He walked up to Minato along with the rest of team seven. Minato turned towards Obito.

"Obito the Uchiha clan head will probably want to speak with you when we get back. It is your choice if you want to talk to him or not since they kicked you out of the clan" Minato explained to Obito who looked wide eyed in disbelief.

"Why would Fugaku want to speak to me. He had thought I was weak and would never amount to anything!" Obito asked Minato who looked at Obito right in the eyes making Obito realize that he now unlocked the sharingan. That was why Fugaku wanted to speak with him.

"I am not going to speak to him, not yet anyway and if I am to speak to him he has to treat me with respect before I go any where near him" Obito says.

"That is going to be pretty hard to get. Usually he does not show much respect towards anyone Obito but I guess he will have to if he wants to talk to you" Minato said smiking before he turned to Jiraiya after everyone was ready to go.

"Sensei are you all set to head back now" Minato asked Jiraiya who nodded before team seven and Jiraiya jumped into the trees jumping from branch to branch pretty quickly. The kept going all day to reach Konoha by nigh time as they began to get tired they slowed down for a little break. Minato landed first on the ground followed by Jiraiya then team seven. Minato told them to relax until they had to head out again.

Team seven sat down around each other and began to discuss a few things while Minato and Jiraiya were talking a good distance away from them so that team seven would not here them.

"Jiraiya sensei looks like we are going to have to fight three platoons soon. I can sense them getting closer and what has me in thought is that their coming from the way we are going right now. Which means they were in fire country" Minato told Jiraiya. Jiraiya thought about what to do for a couple seconds before he decided to go with what sounded best to him.

"I think we should kill most of them but keep at least two of the Iwa ninja alive to get info and find out what they were doing so far in fire country" Jiraiya says to Minato who agreed with the idea unknown to them that team seven was discussing relatively the same thing.

"I can sense them to Kakashi but what are we going to do about them since we are headed in that direction anyway. Sensei and Jiraiya are probably discussing the same thing we are right now" Obito says to Kakashi as Rin turned to the two of them.

"Why don't we kill most of them and keep two to four alive out of the twenty or so Iwa ninja so that we can get info on why they were so deep in to fire country" Rin told Kakashi and Obito. They nodded with her idea but they became quite as Minato and Jiraiya approached them when they finished talking. Minato and Jiraiya stopped in front of team seven as Minato looked right at them.

"Looks like we are going to have to fight again. They have information for us so try to keep at least on or two alive because they were deep in fire country and we need to find out what was going on" Minato told team seven as they got up from the ground. Team seven knew this already but Rin looked at Obito worriedly because he has not fully recovered yet.

"I hope he can handle it, he hasn't full recovered yet and I do not want to see Obito get hurt" Rin thought to herself as they set off running on the ground level but were staying hidden in the foliage as they ran to not be spotted by the Iwa ninja.

They passed through the forest at a quick pace but spreading out along the path just incase they were attacked before they could attack the Iwa ninja back. After another ten minutes the Iwa ninja came into sight because the Iwa ninja were resting to reserve their energy for the rest of their trip. Obito who looked at the rest of his team as they started to sneak up on the Iwa ninja. He decide to provide the distraction and jumped straight in front of the platoons of Iwa ninja while activating his sharingan. He started to go through hand signs quickly to get the first attack in as the Iwa ninja shot up to attack him. Minato and the rest of the team did not expect Obito to do something like ths but went with it anyway as they continued their trek to sneak up on the ninja. Rin had a different thought though on the matter as she continued silently walking with Kakashi and Minato while Jiraiya was doing the same thing but on the other side.

"Damn it Obito I am going to hit you so hard when this is over" Rin thought huffing in annoyance at her team mates jump the gun attitude for getting into fights.

Obito finished his set of hand seals before three Iwa ninja could get to him. Breathing in deeply Obito attacked.

"Katon: Hiendon (Fire Release: Soaring Flame Bullet)" Obito shouted out as he breathed a big fire ball but it sped toward the Iwa ninja faster then they had expected. About eight of the Iwa ninja's burnt to a crisp as the land scape around them as well went up in wisps of flames. The last four Iwa ninja that did not get burned did not see their friends die because they had shot in different directions. Two ran into Jiraiya as the other two ran into Minato, Rin and Kakashi. Once the four Iwa ninja's were tied up Jiraiya had summoned the same medium sized orange frog to take the four Iwa ninja's to Konoha for interrogation. Obito watched as the frog vanished with the Iwa ninja.

"I miss having the ability to summon the frogs maybe I will get my own summon contract or maybe the ravens if the uchiha let me use it" Naruto thought finding that the ravens that Itachi had once used were very helpful and useful for the user. While Obito was lost in thought he did not see Rin stalking towards him with a pissed off look on her face. Getting closer every second but Obito still did not notice her.

"Why the hell did you do that. That was incredibly stupid of you" Rin shouted out as she pulled her arm back to punch Obito in the face. Obito snapped out of his thoughts while Minato and the rest of team seven along with Jiraiya turned toward them. Just as Obito turned his head to answer Rin he was met with a fist to the face before he collided head long into a tree a good fifteen feet away. Everyone backed up a little from her after what Rin did as she continued to walk forward some more toward Obito but Kakashi stepped out in front of her path gulping slightly at the look Rin was giving him. Obito was in a daze as he sat up slightly still against the tree.

"I know never to make her mad" Obito thought running his head from where he collided with the tree. He closed his eyes for a couple seconds to get the headache to go away but realized it wasn't going away so he groaned and sat up more getting in a sitting position now. He spotted Kakashi step in front of Rin to stop her rampage on him. He listened in to Kakashi and Rin as he sat their against the tree. Minato was just standing to the side with Jiraiya as they were both smiling like idiots.

"Move out of the way Kakashi I am going to throttle Obito" Rin says stepping forward a little with a pissed look on her face. From what Rin had just said made Obito start sweating like crazy from where he currently was sitting at hoping that Kakashi would not let her pass him.

"Rin calm down Obito was a little reckless but what he did helped us in the end. We got four Iwa ninja to interrogate and Obito did not get hurt in the process of this so why are you so mad?" Kakashi asked her making her even more mad then she was before which it showed on her face. Which made Kakashi start to sweat scared for his own life now.

"I am mad because he did something reckless he could have gotten hurt again and I could not deal with it if he were to die" Rin told Kakashi in a whisper so no one could hear but them. It made Kakashi's eyes widen when Rin said that to him and know he knew why Rin was so mad at Obito.

"So get out of my way Kakashi before I kick your ass as well for not moving" Rin stated looking deadly serious making Kakashi gulp in fear once again as he took a step back but held his ground non the less.

"I'm sorry Rin but I can't let you hurt Obito. I know you want to teach him a lesson but Obito still wouldn't learn that is who Obito is you probably will never be able to change who he is so I am not moving" Kakashi says to Rin but she just takes another step forward once Kakashi finished talking.

"I won't let you stop me Kakashi" Rin says as she shot forward plunging her fist into Kakashi's gut keeling him over until a fist met Kakashi's face and sent him to a separate tree away from Obito. Obito saw what happened to Kakashi. Rin turned to Obito once Kakashi had hit the tree as Rin walked right in front of Obito about to kick Obito in the face. As Rin's leg came up to hit Obito. Obito disappeared and in his place Kakashi appeared with a shocked look on his face before being met with a kick to the face knocking him out. Rin just looked down noticing that it was Kakashi that she had kicked making her angrier then befor. Obito was standing in the spot where Kakashi had land from the punch earlier happy that he had switched with Kakashi at the last moment but he knew Kakashi would be mad at him now.

"I am sorry Kakashi but I had to do it. Rin would have killed me if I didn't" Obito thought but his stop process was put on a halt as Rin turned her head towards him once again before she began to walk towards him but Minato appeared in her way before she reached Obito making Obito sigh in relief before obito walked forward slightly.

"Rin calm down, get a hold of your feelings" Minato stated making Rin stop her movement before she looked up in to Minato's eyes with tears coming out of her eyes. Minato knew why she was mad, she had gained feelings for Obito but she did not know it yet.

"Well at least Obito has feelings for her back but ti probably will be awhile before he tells Rin" Minato thought as he watched Rin.

"I'm sorry sensei I was just so worried about him" Rin said sadly to Minato as Minato watched the tears continued to fall but he did not know if you could help her to stop but he didn't have to as Obito appeared in front of Minato. Obito wrapped his arms around Rin's waist surprising her before she to wrapped her arms around Obito's neck calming down slightly as she put her head on his shoulder.

"I am sorry for worrying you. What I did was dangerous and I know this but that is who I am I like to be in situations like that. I promise I won't get hurt, ok" Obito asked whispering in Rin's ear making her stop crying but she still felt sad.

"You better not or I will make injuries far worse then what they can do on you. Then I will heal you and do it over again until you won't worry me anymore" Rin said whispering back to Obito making him gulp in fear.

"I guess I am going to try extra hard not to get hurt now, that punishment sounds really bad" Naruto thought as they stayed in each other's arms for a bit just enjoying the contact the other was giving. While Minato just walked over to Jiraiya as Obito and Rin were hugging to discuss a few things with him.

Obito pulled back from the hug and looked Rin right in the eyes noticing the tears still around her eyes. Obito brought up his hand and wiped the tears away making Rin blush crimson from the simple act.

"Please don't cry Rin I will be fine but I don't know about Kakashi you did him in I think" Obito says pointing to Kakashi who was knocked out by the tree making Rin look towards the tree seeing Kakashi out cold.

"You looked strong when you knocked Kakashi out and made him look weak. The look Kakashi gave was so funny before you knocked him out" Obito says laughing a little bit along with Rin who started laughing as well but Obito thought one thing as Rin was laughing.

"I am glad she isn't crying anymore I couldn't stand to see her cry or feel bad anymore" Naruto thought. Minato walked forward after a couple minutes and picked up the body of Kakashi and put him on his back as they continued the journey back to Konoha.

"I hope something like this does not happen again till we at least get back to the village. I don't want to hold anyone else after this" Minato thought sighing as he jumped in to a tree and began to travel to Konoha once again with team seven and Jiraiya following close behind. When they were jumping from branch to branch Jiraiya jumped next to Obito staying in the same jump pattern as Obito to talk with him for a moment. Rin was a little bit away from Obito so Jiraiya wanted to put his two cents in to what happened back when Rin attacked Obito.

"Obito, Rin acts just like Tsunade my team mate. So be careful when she is mad but I guess I don't have to say this since she almost knocked you out for worrying her" Jiraiya says to Obito. Obito only nodded to what Jiraiya just told him because Jiraiya was right Rin was scary when mad but all girls are scary if you do something to make them mad.

"Rin cares about you a lot Obito. You should ask her out and see where it goes maybe if you get a date with her I can add you and Rin in my next book" Jiraiya whispers to Obito making his eyes widen before Obito started to sputter from what Jiraiya just told him. Obito turned his head to look at Jiraiya with a scowl on his face.

"I don't think Rin would like that and if you tried it Rin probably won't be the only one after you. I can probably guarantee Tsunade will be after you as well" Obito says to Jiraiya making him pale quite a bit but before Jiraiya could talk back to his answer Obito continued.

"I care for Rin and I can see Rin cares for me. I think she is really cute but I don't know if she likes meback so I don't want to mess up our friendship" Obito told Jiraiya who looked Obito in the eyes as they continued their journey to the leaf.

"You have to take your chances Obito. You might not get another chance to tell her how you feel about her. She might just feel the same way about you" Jiraiya told Obito putting a hand on Obito's shoulder before pulling back and jumped forward to continue jumping alongside Minato. When Jiraiya jumped away from Obito Rin jumped next to Obito.

'Hey Obito do you want to get something to eat when we get back to the village along with Kakashi when he wakes up" Rin says smiling slightly at the part of Kakashi being knocked out.

"Sure Rin is it ok if we get some ramen at the Ichiraku's ramen stand" Obito asked Rin in which she nodded at Obito in an ok like manner.

"That's fine but why do you like ramen so much. You do eat other things but you eat ramen every time we are with the team. Rin asked Obito as they jumped to the next branch just behind Minato and Jiraiya.

"I don't know why it just tastes really good. How about we get something of your choice next time we go somewhere to eat" Obito told Rin making her eyes widen from what he told her.

"Really, are you sure, I mean you don't mind to eat somewhere else' Rin asked him not expecting that Obito was letting her pick the next place to eat at.

"Yeah I am sure the place you pick has to be a good place to eat if you like it. So pick any place you want next time and I will eat it with you and Kakashi or just me and you" Obito says to Rin with a slight blush on his face trying to get Rin to see the hint that he just gave her and by the crimson blush she now sported he guessed that she got the meaning behind what he said.

"What do you mean by me and you" Rin asked Obito with the blush still on her face making Obito smirk before looking toward her.

"I don't know what I mean by it. I just said it so that if Kakashi wasn't their then you could still pick the place" Obito told her but Rin didn't believe what Obito just said for a minute making her sigh becoming frustrated and Rin didn't know why she was though. Rin turned her head forward jumping to the next branch.

"Was Obito asking me out or was I just imagining things" Rin thought peeking out of the corner of her eye getting a glimpse of Obito. She blushed slightly.

"I am not sure of my feelings yet, I got to figure this out I'm so confused" Rin thought as team seven and Jiraiya continued to Konoha.

After about another two hours of traveling they saw the gates of Konoha come in to sight. They jumped out of the trees landing on the road. They began to run to the gate's of Konoha, once they had got to the gate's they slowed down and just walked slowly through the gates of Konoha getting multiple looks from people around them but Obito's mind was occupied at the moment but the rest of the team were also occupied with their thoughts as they walked into Konoha.

"I may be an Uchiha now but I am going to fix some problems before they begin but first I have to get stronger for me, Obito and all my friends that I want to protect" Naruto thought as he looked between Rin, Minato, Kakashi and Jiraiya. They continued to walk to the hokage tower while Obito had this on his mind the whole way.
