This is just a random fanfic idea I thought I'd try, I may not update often as am working on a HidaShika, but though I'd see what people thought :3
Disclaimer: Naruto isn't mine.
"Obito! Oi, Obito!"
"What?"
"Mum says to bring your dirty clothes down"
"I can't, I can't save the game until I've levelled uppp!"
"Idiot" Obito stuck his tongue out in the general direction his brother was standing and resumed playing. He'd never been very confident growing up, or particularly good at many things. The only thing he could really enjoy was gaming. And at the moment he was obsessed with an RPG.
In it you could create your own character, and travel through the world, killing monsters and going on quests. It was almost like he had a whole other life on there, and he honestly loved it. In particular he adored his character.
His name was Kakashi, and Obito had been playing as him for nearly a year. Kakashi was everything he wasn't. He was tough, confident, and good at everything he did. And because of that Obito spent nearly all of his time playing. He didn't really have any friends, and the girl he liked Rin, didn't seem to care. Then there was his older brother Shisui. Although he wasn't a bad guy, he was one of those overly popular, perfect types. In comparison Obito felt like trash. It was the same with their cousins Sasuke and Itachi, though Sasuke was an irritating little brat who really needed a slap someday.
"Obito! Bring your dirty washing down!"
Oh for god's sake.
"Muuuum! Let me just save the game!"
"Just don't take too long"
With a long suffering sigh, he scooped up a pile of random clothes, before unceremoniously dumping them at the bottom of the stairs. Shisui looked unimpressed.
"Mum's not going to be happy about that"
"I got my dirty washing, and put it downstairs, what more do you people want?"
"You are insane"
"Yes I know, now if you'll excuse me I've got things to do"
Dashing back to his room at full speed, he threw himself onto the bed and grabbed his controls. When he'd paused the game, he was about to take on a group of bandits. With a grin he charged into the middle of them, and began blasting them with fireballs and bolts of lightning.
"Take that you assholes!" Obito whooped and punched the air.
"Obito?"
"Oh my god, What?"
"Your cousins are here!"
"Tell them I said hi"
"Very funny, now get down here!"
Why is everyone conspiring against me? With an irritated sigh, he saved his game. On the inventory screen he could see a close up picture of Kakashi. Really wish I could be like him.

"Ah there you are Obito"
"Ehyep, here I am"
"I need you to watch Sasuke for a while"
"What?"
"It won't be for very long, only while I'm taking Itachi and Shisui into town"
"Ugh, fine"
"Thank you so much, I won't be long"
As they all left the room, Obito turned to look on the horror that was his cousin. Sasuke looked innocent enough. Most people thought he was really cute, but only he knew the true horror. All he did was whine and moan, and pester him near continuously over what he was doing.
"Ok Sasuke you better listen to me today because I'm not putting up with any of your crap"
"Crap?" He'd widened his eyes, giving him a look like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth.
"You know what I mean"
"I wonder what your mummy would say if she knew you swore in front of me" Sasuke had a slightly evil grin on his face at this.
Shit! The little brat has leverage!
"Err, listen Sasuke"
"Yes?"
"We don't have to say anything to anyone, ok?"
"Why not?"
"Because I'm in charge, and I said so"
"What's in it for me?"
"What do you want?"
"I want to play with your Xbox" Obito was gobsmacked.
"What? Why would you want that?"
"Because you said it was fun" Sasuke just blinked at him, an unimpressed expression on his face. It was then that Obito realised why.
The little shit just wants to ruin my game!
"Hell no"
"Ehh? But you said I could have what I wanted" Sasuke pouted.
"You know how important my game is to me! You just want to ruin it!"
"No I won't I promise" Obito went to tell him where he could stick his promise before he was rudely interrupted. "Besides, if you say no, I'll tell your mummy you taught me a bad word" With that he pulled out a few fake tears that had Obito giving a frustrated growl and nodding in reluctant agreement.

"No not that way! There's a cliff over there!"
"So?"
"So Kakashi will die if he falls off a cliff!"
"That's a pretty useless game character"
Stupid smart ass nine year old.
"Still, you have to be careful. I spent ages working on this game"
"Fine. By the way how do you deal with those?" Obito looked towards the place where Sasuke was pointing to see a large group of bandits headed his way.
"I'll sort those, just give me the remote" He went to grab it, but Sasuke pulled it away.
"No! You said I could play!"
"Oh for god's sake! Fine, just use a lightening spell"
"How?"
"It's already equipped; just press the right control button"
"Ok" Sasuke pushed the button and sent of a huge bolt of lightening... in the opposite direction. "Wow that was cool!"
"But you missed" He couldn't help but let out a cry of outrage as he looked back at the screen. "And now you're being attacked from behind!"
Although he tried to fight them off Sasuke was no match and in the end, Obito grabbed the controls and finished them.
"Hey! I'm supposed to be playing!"
"I've let you play for long enough, now leave me alone" Sasuke tried to use fake tears, but Obito just scowled. The younger boy was furious.
I'll show him who's useless! He stormed off leaving Obito alone at last.
-Page Break-
After a few hours Obito had managed to not only go up several levels, but he had completed several main quests and was feeling pretty smug. His homework may have been lacking, but he was great at gaming.
It was just before he decided to save his game that Sasuke struck. Sneaking through the door unnoticed he crawled over to the plug, and as Obito went to save, switched it off.
He took one look at the now black screen, turned to see his smug looking cousin, and all but had a nervous breakdown.
"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR YOU LITTLE SHIT? I WAS ABOUT TO SAVE! IT TOOK ME HOURS!"
"W-well you shouldn't have stopped me from playing" He had never seen his cousin so angry, and was feeling a little scared.
"GET OUT!"
"B-but-"
"OUT!"
Sasuke ran at full speed out of the room, whilst Obito switched the game back on and went to see if any of it could be salvaged. Sadly it was all gone.
"Curse you Sasuke to the vilest depths of hell!"
With a rather dejected sigh, he sat back and got comfortable. He was going to be there a while if he wanted to get back all of his hard work.
The game that Obito was playing doesn't really have a name, as it's a sort mix of Fable and the Elder Scrolls games :3
