15 Side Story #2 *Obito Uchiha Death
Obito found himself running late for a meeting with his teammates and sensei, though he wasn't in any rush this time. He knew Minato-Sensei wouldn't be too happy with his lateness, and he was probably in for a lecture from the yellow-haired man. 'I'll just tell him that my alarm clock didn't go off again...' He thought as he walked out of the village and headed towards the forest.
"Obito Uchiha!" The familiar voice of a jonin grabbed his attention. He almost winced at this loud voice.
'Dear God. Today sucks.' He thought, not even turning to face the voice, and try to run
Suddenly a hand picked him up and stop him from moving, "Don't ignore me, Uchiha!"
He looked in fear, "N-Nii-sama, h-how are y-you?"
"Sigh...running late again; what's the excuse this time?"
"Nii-sama, I swear I didn't want to I ju-"
"Yea, yea.... come let's eat before you go out I am sure Minato won't mind you running late for few more minutes"
-------
he was sitting in front of the large stone with the names of the deceased ninja's upon them.
"You're visiting your friends again?" Obito's voice shook him as he smiled
"Yes." he nodded as he looked down at his friend's engraved name.
Obito stood beside Ryo, in silence as they stared. It was a calm, knowing silence between the two.
"I'm going on my first C-Ranked mission." Obito finally broke the silence.
"Oh really? Congrats, Uchiha!" He grinned as he smacked him on the back.
"Shuddup." He laughed, "And that hurt!" He made a face at his embarrassing Big Brother
"Hey... Do you think you would be proud of me once I completed the mission?" Obito looked back to the stone.
"No", Obito's face fell
"I am already proud of you idiot", said Ryo smiling
Obito smiled back as he flicked Obito's nose.
"Ow..." He rubbed his nose.
"Anyway, I need to be heading back." Ryo turned away.
"Alright. Be careful! Goodbye" Obito waved his arm in the air.
"Obito", he said in a dark tone
"Y-Yes"
"Don't ever say goodbye....always remember that" Ryo shook his head.
"What then...?" Obito tilted his head.
"See you later." Ryo grinned brightly.
"See you later", Obito grinned back
-------
He stared at Memorial Stone more often, he is broken he doesn't smile back to Obito like he used to, even if he did smile it's always false and fake, he doesn't even take care of his health anymore
Obito Drag him to their house and took care of him give him medications, cooked the food, he did everything his little 12-year body allow him to do
-------
"Nii-sama! Guess what... I'm finally going on an A-rank mission!" Obito exclaims jumping in excitement.
"Even though stupid Kakashi is second in command of the team, we're going to Kannabi Bridge in a few weeks so I have to prepare!"
"Nii-sama! When I come back I'll tell you all about it!"
He hugs little Obito tightly
"I love you, I will be waiting"
Obito grinned as he scratches his hair, "I love you too, I will be back soon, I promise"
Ryo smiled, 'That brat, looks like he finally learned his lesson'
-------
His arrival at the Kanabi Bridge is greeted with shock and guilt and sorrow. Rin collapses into his arms crying and Kakashi turns away clutching his left eye.
Obito is dead.
Dead and gone.
Never to return.
"AA...AAAA.....WAAH", He cried and showed weakness that he didn't do since shouji died
-------
That day, the sky cried in memory of Obito Uchiha.
Ryo stood by the Memorial Stone, tears gliding down his cheeks.
All the memories he had of Obito and all the memories they shared flooded back with the raindrops.
he gently slid his hand over the freshly engraved name on the smooth stone.
"Did he die Smiling?"
Rin's voice chokes as she begins to cry.
"Yeah, like the idiot he is," Kakashi's voice comes out in a whisper, broken.
-------
Everyone had already left, even Kakashi.
But just kept standing there.
"Everyone is gone again.....This stupid Life...This stupid Curse of Hatred...This stupid War...This stupid God... This Stupid Uchiha"
Deep in his heart, he thought, maybe there was a mistake.
Maybe Obito made it out of the cave?
Or maybe this was all a dream.
A very terrible nightmare.
Maybe he was going to wake up from it soon and he'd see Obito's grinning face.
But he knew that's not a dream; the same like it was not a dream for shouji...it was not a dream for Hotari...it was not a dream...It never was
"Why does everyone have to die, why can't people close to me live; is it so much to ask; SOMEONE ANSWER ME, IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK" he Screamed through the tears while he looked up
'I love you too, I will be back soon, I promise'
"You promised! YOU PROMISED!" Suddenly he screamed in agony, his heart throbbing in heartache.
'Don't say goodbye...'
"I taught you not to say goodbye I TAUGHT YOU; Yet, You said goodbye! You said it, not me" He cried to the gray sky.
'See you later...'
He lied down in front of the stone; Hotari, Shouji Yukimura-Sensei, Keito and Obito; all lied beside him
"Even you joined them; DAMN", As tears fell from his eyes while he begins to read a poem from one of his books
"How we swore we'd never change
Even though you're leaving
That our feelings
Would always stay the same"
-------
*Huff*Huff
"Still having the nightmares?", asked Isobu
"Doesn't matter, let's advance"
"Ryo, are you sure it's okay you didn't sleep for 3 days straight, every time you sleep you wake up minutes later; it's only because you have 3 bijjus inside of you that you have not fainted right now", said Son-Goku
"What do you want me to do, I can't sleep, those nightmares...They...Let's just advance I don't think I can ever sleep now without drinking, and I can't drink in this area don't forget we are in enemy's land"
-------
Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.

[This is not the Promised super sad Chapter, That will be Mikoto and Ryo's tragic love story, it's just a filler before the battle with madara]
[I find out this book cannot run on tragedies the whole time, I will need another selling point soon]
