Why isn't he back yet?

[Video post;

This is Obito. This is Obito caught in a snare trap. The devious evil-doer? His very own teammate. For shame, Rin, for shame, except he's yelling out curses and plotting your downfall while hanging upside down from the doorway of their bedroom, so let's call it even?]

Goddamn it!

[Wriggles and tries to reach up to undo the wire round his ankle, but is having difficulty.]

Don't think I don't know it was you, Rin! You better watch out, you've made me mad now! I was just gonna leave quietly, but this is war!

[Incidentally, the 'leave quietly' also came with a detour - Obito had obtained a potion from Yzma with the intent to spike one of Proto's energy cans and turn him into a cute fluffy bunny, yet when he woke he instantly knew he had been a fool to ever plan to do that! Who was more deserving than Rin, his worst enemy? Her jug of green tea in the fridge has been laced, along with some...ninja powder that masks scent and taste. This is completely possible what are you talking about. After this naughtiness and a malevolent chuckle, Obito went back to the room to grab some extra weapons, but put a foot out of place...]

Proto, you around? You gonna help a friend out so I can ditch this flat full of losers?

[OOC: 3am here my dears, backdating as always~]

ninja filter;

Oh hell no.

You want to be friends with Sand nin in the City? Fine. I'll even talk to 'em now and again, if they're civil. Check they're not up to anything.

But having one under the same roof?! Are you all mad? He could turn and kill us in our sleep at any time! At least, he could try. Yeah, yeah, this is the part where everyone goes 'but Obito, we're allies with Suna in the future, so there's no reason to worry.' Well you know what? Two weeks before I came to the City, we sent a four man cell out into the desert. A specially trained negotiation squad, Konoha not attacking outright but wanting to express its lack of involvement with the missing Kazekage.

None of them came back alive. Not even fucking one of them. Ambushed and killed on sight because of their forehead protectors.

So you can tell me all you want that we're allies in the future. I'm not living with him.


[OOC: Open for being an action post in the flat, whatever you guys like.]

[Video. He's sitting on top of his apartment building, looking down at the mass of people and checking out the network. He counts off on his fingers.]

Things I'm a bit worried about:

1. Ino-chan seems to think everyone is going to touch her...
2. I swear there's more than one Naruto running around. This one is. Different.

[A pause. Strikes are thoughts.]

3. Seeing- Not seeing- Huh, guess there is no number three after all.


Things that mean everything is normal:

1. Shikamaru is irritated.
2. Proto is delusional.
3. Konoha's getting represented as the best village out there. Hi to the future people, don't forget to respect your elders!


By the way, Naruto, twice I've spoken to some girls on the network and twice they're already friends of yours. And this is before today. Don't make Sakura too jealous, hehe.


[OOC: Anything and everything is go. If you want to talk about his death, then he won't be too accepting of it. But no mention of Kakashi Gaiden plz, since he thinks he dies in the massacre. Action is a-ok toooooo AND IF YOU ARE A KAKASHI WHO WOULD LIKE TO ACTION THE MOST RETARDED FIGHT EVAR LEMME KNOW AND I'LL HAUL NARUJAY IN HERE because they have been preparing the 'ultimate jutsu' for it lmao.

EDIT: I'm sorry I had to go to bed early last night being a crazy German scientist really takes it out of you I promise to get back to these tags, but it will be tomorrow night most likely (I'm not at home at the mo) :( Hopefully no one minds backdating... <3s for everyone!]

[If you press a button on your device, the Pokedex voice will narrate:]

Growlithe, a puppy Pokemon. It is friendly and loyal, but also jealously protective of its territory. It will try to repel enemies by barking and biting. Growlithe has a superb sense of smell. It uses its advanced olfactory sense to determine the emotions of other living things.

[This is Growlithbito, distinguishable by a pair of orange goggles round his neck (giving the Squirtle Squad a run for their money). He is a Pokemon with a dream. He wants to evolve into Arcanine more than anything, and would love a trainer with a good heart who can help him achieve this. In return, he promises to be fiercely loyal and protect you no matter what! However, if you're a bad trainer and manage to catch him, he will be stubborn, sulky and generally difficult. But battling to get stronger will grab his attention, as will a shiny Fire Stone.

He is out in Route 12 the Square, scouting for a trainer or a battle, but avoiding the fountain because urgh water! He comes over to the device and sniffs it.]

Growlithe!

Ok since we now know about different universes, I want to hear people's ideas on what's going on in their own alternate universe. Cos, hey, it could- [Voice has gone a bit deeper and he coughs] it could exist! And what if we looked different too? Like blue hair, or there could even be a girl version of you out there! Man, this is hurting my head.

But the thing is, if there's another you out there, who's mostly like you, but maybe made a couple different decisions, how do you know who's the real you? What if you're the other one? What if the real you made the right choices and you had to be the guy who was stuck with the wrong ones and all you're there for is for the real you to get a look at you in a freaky dream sequence before the night of the ultimate fight that will change his life forever – which he goes on to win of course, since he's the better you. What if- [Voice pitches highly and squeaks] Erm, never mind...

[Private; hackable with difficulty]

Having Rin in the City is amazing and something I’d never wish not to happen. Maybe I shouldn’t say that now Proto wants to be ‘friends’ with her. What the hell is going on there? But I can’t lie and say I haven’t had a tough time since I got here. Too many heartbreaking things happen in the future and she shouldn’t have to bear the pain of finding out. I guess all there is to do is believe in her and her strength. Most of the time I’m the one who falls apart while she stays collected.

Nobody seems to really know her, like how they reacted to me…

[End private]


City, I introduce you to the deeply intelligent and scientific findings of one Uchiha Obito, Robot Master-in-training! I said I’d get some information for… er, this guy fullferricelric looks like I didn’t get his name, but he’s smart – he has charts and everything! And that got me thinking: I am a bit of an expert in these matters. Robots that is. So here are my findings so far and I make this request to the City – if you’re a robot, I want to talk to you! Find out what’s your deal, about your world. Stuff like that. Especially if you have any cool moves, I’m all for seeing those. Or if you know a robot, you people are important too.

Anyone got a white coat I can borrow? I want to look official doing this thing.


( Notes! Research! He's not just a pretty face you know )



[OOC: Info is based on what Obito has either learnt or assumed through previous interactions, so may not be accurate, but if you want something adjusting, do let me know!]

[Video. Sitting staring at his sweet pea plant in a mug, which has been put on his windowsill. On closer inspection, you might notice a layer of water on top of the soil.]

I hope you went back to your brother, Fai-chan. No, you did, I just know it.

[Thoughtful pause]

Ino-chan, is there anything special I need to do to look after this flower? I’ve been watering it regularly like you’re supposed to, every two hours! [So very proud of himself]

[Private to Proto, Hiyori & flatmates]

So you’re walking down a road, minding your own business. It’s dark and you’re out later than usual, but you know the way home like the back of your hand so you’re not bothered about it. You cut down a back alley and keep walking, the sound of your footsteps echoing off the walls. You notice it’s getting colder and you pause, wondering if it’s possible you got the wrong turn or whether those bins have always been- Suddenly a hand reaches out to you and grabs you. He’s stronger than anyone you’ve ever been up against and before you can react, there’s a knife to your throat ...or a tazer that will mess up your circuits or whatever, and he leans forward to whisper in your ear, his greasy cheek right against you making you want to gag, and he says “All you need to do is tell me ‘bout what happened last curse, an’ I’ll letcha go.”

AND EVEN THEN YOU NEVER, EVER SPEAK OF WHAT HAPPENED EVEN IF IT MEANS DYING PAINFULLY AT THE HANDS OF MYSTERIOUSLY RANDOM AND WELL INFORMED MAN!

Dear Diary,

God. So today sucked. I caught this bitch at school talking to the sexy mysterious new transfer student and then she actually leaned over and handed him a pencil! Their hands could have touched! I took care of it though – let’s just say that when she next goes to the ladies’, she’ll get the message. On a side note, why is it so much nicer in the girls’ bathroom? It smelled like peaches. Not as good as him, not that he actually smells since he’s made of metal, but if he did smell, then I know it’d be awesome.

PLUS I dropped my new Muse CD and it got scratched. Matt’s killer high note repeats for like 10 seconds or something. I can’t get an iPod cos I don’t want to be a conformist. But I guess that’s cool, now I can appreciate the deep meaning behind the words ‘supermassive’, ‘black’ and ‘hole’. Cos not only is it a hole, but it’s black, like all pain and torment, and then it’s supermassive – not just massive, but supermassive – so the pain is totally endless. That’s the kind of imagery I want to put in my poetry. Then maybe he’ll

Here’s my latest, I composed it while stalking glancing up and seeing someone out of the corner of my eye today:

Robo Perfectus

Humans cut deep with their words and they lie,
And can make some people who aren’t me cry.
That’s why I love a robot, I love him, oh!
Please don’t deny me and please don’t say no!
I hope my persuasion does not take too long,
Since rape is illegal and morally wrong.


I think I should start a band. Maybe if someone puts a dull, thudding bass to my poetry, it will drown out the sound of the conformist sheep around me.

Note to self: get more wristbands from Hot Topic.

_{[OOC: Might just possibly be cursed. Days of our young and restless passions baby~ And my are we restless and passionate. Not a ninja and aged up to around 16. Also might be kinda gay. Gone fishin emo – floppy hair, black eyeliner, the lot. I’m sorry?]}

[Private; hackable with difficulty]

I didn’t know people you knew could come to the City during that curse. I wasn’t prepared, but at the same time it meant I didn’t waste a load of time hoping I would see...her. Kakashi had better be looking after her, wherever they are.

Seeing that silver hair (old man hair) sort of reminded me how much I miss the jerk. People keep saying he changes as he gets older. I never really got the chance to find out before he left the City when I got here. But he took Rin with him. I mean, I keep telling myself that’s all that matters, but it was so typical of him! I would totally have saved us if he’d given me time to get my bearings!

Anyway. Ino-chan is living with us now, which is great! She was cursed to be handcuffed to this Tybalt guy, so it meant I could do some recon. Well, I was going to do more but then Sakura made dinner...

[/Private]

You know what occurred to me the other day? Naruto reminds me of someone. Like, really reminds me of someone. And I can’t think who.

W-Whoa! Check out all the people!

There must be someone out there who's heard of the great and mighty warrior, Uchiha Obito! The crosser of dimensions! The master of fire! The guy who stole a scarf off an evil robot and then gave it back, because that's the kind of guy he is!


_{[OOC: 4th wall = YES. Only plz no mention of his death and er low on the manga spoilers just because I don't know 'em? Oh and threadjacking's fine, go wild my poppets ♥]}

<sub>[You know the drill. Accidental video post.]

[Obito is in the forest, training. Training/getting revenge on trees. And talking to himself.]</sub>

"Just because I've spent hours perfecting the way I'd shoot a fireball down Hatake's throat so it'd come out his ass, doesn't mean I'd ever do it."

_{[Good old kunai. Except bad, bad kunai because not one is going even close to where he’s aiming.]}

"But if he tried to hurt Rin or something..."

_{[Putting half his supply of shuriken in the surrounding foliage isn’t making his train of thought any clearer.]}

"Uchiha blood, Uchiha eyes-" _{[No pretence of anything fancy now, just punching the tree repeatedly.]} "Wannabe Uchiha eyes. I'm not like them, not like any of them!"

_{[Suddenly steps back and one katon: goukakyu later, where there once was a tree, there is now a felled tree and a burning stump. He watches the flames burn down to embers. Last time he set the forest on fire, Rin came to him.]}

"I don’t even know these people, not really. Stupid Obito, trusting people just because they wear the Leaf forehead protector. Just because they’re family."

_{[Gives up, rests his folded arms against a tree and his forehead slumps against them, raw, bloody fists visible, eyes filling up with tears.]}

"Are they just waiting for me to betray them?"

<sub>[Glances at the device on the ground, notices it's on. Goes over to shut it off, hastily wiping his eyes, swearing.]



[OOC: Backdated to yesterday, i.e. no curses. See here and here plus pretty much every convo with Sasuke heh. Overreaction yes, but Obito's already had one foundation of trust shaken – the naughty Uchiha clan – and he's not taking the second – his City ninja family – well.]</sub>

So being Uchiha Obito is two things:

1) A 24/7 job
2) Awesome

Sometimes it is more awesome than others. Like right now. Right now is pretty much as awesome as it gets. Because I defeated my practice rival, Proto Jerk!

No, wait, that wasn’t big enough.

I DEFEATED PROTO JERK IN A GLORIOUS SERIES OF MANOEUVRES, EACH MORE INGENIUS THAN THE LAST!

AND THEN INO-CHAN AND ME DEFEATED HIM AGAIN!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!


In other news, Sakura and my old roomate is back, without his memories I’m guessing. Let me just say – I have hidden all my ramen in a number of highly concealed places. Don’t even think about it.


Private to Ino

You're ok, right? You were great, thanks Ino-chan. Did you happen to maybe wipe some of his memories...?

Back in the City? Huh. I hope they've improved the grounds for training. I have ANBU exams coming up.


_{(OOC: Soooooo let's say one day he wasn't late to family training, he did something that showed promise and the clan took more of an interest in Obito. He was given extra training, consequently activating his Sharingan age 9. Basically he's a lot more Uchiha than normal and far less dozy.)}

Look, look, Sakura said it was ok, so we got a cat! The guy at the petshop said this cat was very rare and special and he was thinking of keeping her. She was the only cat they had, so I begged and he said only because he liked the look of my face would he sell her to me. I also got food and water bowls, lots of tins of cat food, a collar with a bell on it, a scratching post and a little mouse toy...I am now out of money. But that’s ok, because isn’t she the best cat ever! She’s orange!



Anybody got any ideas for a name?


_{(OOC: And this is why he should always be supervised XD Key words here are ugly and mangy. The NPC petshop guy thought he was never going to sell that beast.)}

Today is the day I become a man!!

I, Uchiha Obito, am now 13 years old and officially a teenager. I bet this is the year I become a jounin! I'll beat Kakashi to it and he'll be on his knees crying because I'm so cool and Rin will think I'm awesome and my family will be like 'wow, how did we miss how amazingly talented Obito is? Let's give him lots of praise and attention and a medal right now to make up for years of neglect' and everyone will see my medal and there'll be a parade in my honour and...

[Private; hackable with difficulty]

I don't think most shinobi get excited about birthdays, especially not the older ones, because it's tempting fate that this may be your last. But I've spent 13 years going against what people told me I should be feeling, I'm not about to start now.

I've been thinking about what Sasuke said, about Konoha's role in the massacre. I could ask the others but, to be honest, I'm frightened of the answer. If I can't trust the village I'm fighting for, everything...everything would be lost.


Maybe I understand Sasuke more than I thought.

[/Private]

[Private; hackable]

It’s weird, I think it’s taking me longer to get used to being without my team than the curses. I miss them more than I do my family, but not in a mean way, more this just feels like one big mission away from home. If I keep thinking like that, then it will help. Sakura went and came back – I can always hope they will too. Plus there are some great people here – sparring with Yuna-chan was really fun. And normal. Like being with Rin. Sparring with Ichigo was normal in another kind of way – the 'something got set on fire again' kind of way.

Yeah, I’m gonna hide avoid him for a bit.

Still taking it in about Sasuke and Itachi. I have to believe there was a reason I was sent here – to change the future. So it’s important I find out about them, even if it makes my eyes sting.

If this is all some kind of test, then I’ll pass it. I’ll show everyone.

[/Private; hackable]


Crying? Guess I’ll have to go find some big wussy kid or something... Or maybe no one should bother. This challenge sounds stupid and unworthy of my time. I have a few missions of my own to get through so I’ll probably be far too busy.

WHY IS MY SKIN BRIGHT PINK?!


_{(OOC: Instead of icons, I’ll put the colour and mood in the header and presume video.)}

<sub>[Video. Oh look, it’s girl!bito. Has actually taken ten minutes to assess the situation, and his/her priorities, before posting.]

[Muttering]</sub> At least Kakashi and Rin didn’t- What does this mean fighting-wise? Am I still not supposed to fight girls? Am I only supposed to fight girls? Are my fireballs going to come out heart-shaped? Oh god-

_{[Turns to camera.]}

I get this must be a curse.

I get that, for some reason, I got turned into a girl.

But what I don’t get –

IS WHY AM I FLAT-CHESTED? THE ONE TIME I COULD HAVE- _{[Connection cut. For the best really. Not a pervert, just curious.]}
