Naruto: Child of Chakra

Obito turned back and saw Rin was up, teary-eyed and holding his hand. ~That bastard lied to me.~ He realised.

"Obito, you fool. Nothing has changed about you, you just went from being a smaller fool to a bigger fool." Rin said sorrowfully and jumped to hug him. Thankfully, Obito was not too tall for her.

Obito's body went limp, such intimacy was too foreign to him. "HOW? How can you forgive me, Rin?"

"Who said I have forgiven you? All I know is, every person gets his due punishment when the time is right. Killing oneself is something that cowards do, cowards who can't accept their mistakes and don't try to correct them." Rin replied.

Obito cried under his mask. "You are... just as before... so kind and nice to me."

"Hehe... of course, dummy. But the world has changed so much since I was gone. Lord Dama has told me about the changes but... HOW DID SUNAGAKURE GROW FOOD?" She was shocked about this the most, apparently.

Obito also had no idea, since he had not been to Sunagakure in a long time. All his plans mostly revolved around Konoha and its eastern side. The furthest he went from Konoha was Kirigakure, but even the Whole Water Country had become a no-go zone for him and the Akatsuki.

"You have not seen the city we are in right now. It is unlike anything the world has ever seen. We can go around and look... But... I have made Lord Dama promise me that he will kill me after I have seen you." Obito told her.

Rin, lifted her hands to take off Obito's mask, "I know. But I can try to persuade him to let you live... at least on the condition that you will do everything in your power to help those whose lives you had destroyed or tried to destroy."

Obito's body jerked back seeing her trying to touch his mask. But she firmly held it, "How will you change when you don't even accept who you are?"

"What if I'm beyond fixing?" He asked.

"Then that means you just need a better doctor." She finally took off his mask. Obito's face was clear for her to be seen with that. The spiral ugly marks on the right side of his face were clearly visible.

For Rin, the memory of what had happened that day was as clear as day. His dying breath, his words were still ringing in her head. A small drop of tear fell down her eyes as she touched the disfigured side of the face.

"Disgusted?" Obito muttered.

She shook her head, "I see it as your resolve to survive. This is the proof that you faced death and yet decided to ignore it. This is your second chance in life. Your path was wrong, but you can try to make it right."

"Will people even forgive me? They want my blood." Obito said.

Rin shook her head. What she was about to say was controversial but also true. "You are no different from all the Hokages, Kazekages, Raikages, Mizukages, Tsuchikages or any Daimyos. Combined, they have murdered more people than have been alive on the land.

Didn't they send us, children into wars? Isn't that why you also almost died? Yet, people so easily forgive them, even when they have the blood of countless innocents on their hands.

You are just like them, but the difference is intentions. They may have had good intentions while doing what they did, but you... you wanted to kill. So you will have to earn the love and respect of the people if you want forgiveness. But... suicide is not the right way. And someday, when we all die, we will by default face our sins in the afterlife. Lord Dama has said that God does exist, and I believe him. If anyone, he should have the answers."

"I guess... I can try." Obito muttered, not looking her in the eyes.

"BUT I WON'T ALLOW!"

All of a sudden a demonic voice resounded. Obito felt pain in half of his body. "AAARGH!..."

To his horror, his arm changed its shape and appeared as if it was a humanoid thing, but only the part above the waist. It seemed to be aiming towards Rin, with its hands becoming spear-shaped.

It aimed directly at her heart. "YOU THINK YOU CAN BETRAY ME NOW? AND GET YOUR GIRL BACK? I FAILED THE LAST TIME... SHE WILL DIE NOW!"

"SEE WHERE YOU ARE FIRST, PEST!" A fourth voice came, colder and heavier. Then, from a dark corner of the room, two red dots started glowing like bulbs, it spread terror in their minds, especially the Zetsu.

The Zetsu tried to retract itself but it could not even move. As if stuck in time. But that was not the case, "Resistance is futile. As with all things, you too have natural energy in your body, hence, you are under my control."

Shiroken walked towards them calmly, "Calm down, Rin and Obito, I will just take this insect and deal with him for now. I have been trying to catch one of these alive to interrogate it."

He took out a transparent cage. It looked like it was made of glass, but in reality, it was made of a new thing created, called Plastic. Over it, there were many seals placed.

Shiroken pulled the White Zetsu out of Obito's body and pushed it into the plastic cage. Once closed, he allowed it to move. *BAM BAM BAM*

It tried its best, used every means to get out, but it could not. So it screeched, "MOTHER WILL KNOW ABOUT THIS..."

Shiroken scoffed, "Huh, I didn't know even a pet like you could be a mama's boy. Well, she's probably a pest too. Now shut up and stay there, because your imprisonment has just started."

Obito's arm that had been destroyed automatically grew back. Shiroken sighed, "This is not good. I hated Hashirama, but it seems that bastard is giving me headaches even after dying. This is why you burn bodies."

Obito understood that Shiroken was talking about Hashirama's cells. Truly, they have been circulated around a lot. Too many people had access to it.

"Well, you two love birds can continue your talk. I shall leave." Shiroken tried to leave them in the room.

But, the two turned red and tried to follow him behind. Rin caught up to him, "Lord Dama, can... can you not kill Obito?"

Shiroken shrugged, "He asked me to kill him in the first place. It was never me. But yes, I do want to kill him, he's a liability to the world. His brain is messed up. I could have understood if he had tried to kill Kakashi or destroy Konoha and Kirigakure. But, he instead tried to destroy all of mankind.

My family was taken away from me, according to his ideas, I should have destroyed the whole planet. And unlike him, I do have the power to destroy the planet. Yet, here I am, trying to solve this messy world."

Obito looked down in shame. Shiroken didn't help either, "Yes, you should be ashamed, so much that you'll bury your head in the ground. Tell me, later when you started to control Kirigakure's Mizukage like a puppet, didn't it enter your brain that the same village was responsible for what happened to Rin?

And Kirigakure had to be under someone's control for it to take the risk of putting the Tailed Beast in a Konoha's shinobi, just to send it back to destroy the village?

Yes, I am questioning your intelligence. I will not stop questioning you until you give me a reason why I shouldn't... kill you."

Shiroken's words were daggers piercing his skin. Obito silently took all that, but at the very least, he had Rin holding his hand tightly, giving him the courage that he can indeed do better.

"AH! What is this? Did our resident murderer lover have a change of heart?" Monari appeared with Konan and Shisui behind her.

Konan saw Obito's face, she hated the guy, but she didn't say anything, as she saw him as someone similar to herself, Nagato and Yahiko… a slave of wars of the past.

Shiroken chuckled, "Yes, he's going to try to give me a sufficient reason to not kill him for all his actions. On the other hand, I caught this insect." He showed them the Zetsu inside the glass cage.

"REEEEEEE..."

Monari scowled, "SHUT UP! You sound like a dying chicken."

Shiroken put it to the side, "So, where are you taking our two love birds?"

A blush appeared on both Shisui and Konan's faces and they looked away from each other. Monari laughed seeing this, "Haha, why didn't I notice this before? Am I growing too old?"

"You are an old hag, Monari. No matter how beautiful you look, you can't change that." Shiroken as always, took a jab.

Her brows twitched, "I will not reply... as that would be acknowledging what you said. I am headed to find Itachi and Izumi, both of them have not returned since you gave them the punishment."

"Oh, let me check." Shiroken closed his eyes for a slight second. "They are at the beach, looking at the ocean and talking about the past. You should leave them alone for a while."

Monari sighed, "We have so many couples in the house now. *BLINK BLINK* Yet, the most important guy is still single."

Shiroken coughed and tried to change the topic, "I should find my beloved Bijuu and spend some time with them. I'll bring Gaara and Naruto with me. But... where is Naruto?"

"THOUSAND YEARS OF PAIN!!!" This was Shiroken's answer.

He turned to look in the direction of the sound. He saw Kankuro, half in the air, and Naruto's index fingers of both hands poking his butt.

Once Kankuro landed, he boiled in anger, "BASTARD! I HATE CHILDREN. COME HERE, YOU LITTLE. I'd have killed you if you didn't have that teleportation Jutsu."

Shiroken chuckled and just waved his hand. Naruto's body flew directly into his grasp. No matter how much the boy tried, he could not use any Jutsu.

"Boy, don't go around poking people's butts. Or one day you might end up meeting old Rakumatsu and cause a fracture." Shiroken warned him.

But, Naruto felt confused, "How can my fingers fracture his butts?"

"I was talking about your fingers, boy."
