Rewriting History (Obito x Reader)

Reset

Your expression went blank, quickly trying to cut yourself off from finishing his name, realizing he had no idea that you knew everything about him. 

"How the heck do you know my name?" Obito said apprehensively. As you started to panic, sweat began rolling off of you as you tried desperately to come up with an excuse.

"I... have just heard things about you is all! Like how you have a unique style and are from the famous Uchiha clan! That is you, right, Obito?" you remarked, choosing to answer his question with another question to get his accusations off of you.

Obito blinked before straightening out his back with his thumb pointed to his chest. "That's right! I'm the Obito Uchiha! So you've heard about me? So you are from the village then!"

Obito's deduction skills surprised you. He's pretty sharp for an eight year old.

"Well, I'm not really a member of the village, b-but I'd like to be!" you blurted out without even thinking. "Wh-what I mean is... I would like to live in the Hidden Leaf and become a ninja like you, but I don't exactly know how to do that."

What am I saying? Shouldn't I be concerned about getting back to my world? 

Obito stared at you confused for a moment before it looked as if a light bulb flashed above his head. He then took your wrist to pull you somewhere.

"Come with me! I know just the person who can help us out!"

"So that's basically what happened," you lied when explaining your predicament to Obito and the young Rin while they observed you curiously.

You decided against telling them the truth - about how you essentially had a form of seeing the future after watching their life through a television series.

"You woke up in the village one day without any memories of where you came from?" Rin confirmed. If it were anyone else inquiring, the way they'd ask that question would likely have come off as accusing or doubtful, but Rin had an uncanny ability to sound genuinely concerned over someone she had just met. You pursed your lips, not quite sure how to really feel about that. Her large brown eyes traveled upwards in thought for a moment before settling back down to Obito.

"Isn't it the Hokage who decides who gets to stay in the village?" 

Obito's eyes lit up as he clapped his hands in front of him in realization. "The Hokage, of course! You're so smart, Rin! Come on, (y/n), let's go talk to the Third about this," he voiced with enthusiasm as he began guiding you by the wrist again; his pace was hard to keep up with due to his excitement. "Bye, Rin, see you at the academy!" He gleefully waved behind him as Rin flashed him a delightful grin, one that sent a sore pang through your heart. 

What was that? That feeling just now...  you pondered as Obito dragged you off to the Hokage's office.

"What do you mean you can't let her stay in the village?!" Obito shouted in bewilderment.

"We have no idea who this girl is or where she came from," Hiruzen started. "She could be a spy from an enemy village. Times of war will prompt villages to employ desperate tactics, even if they must resort to using their own youth as spies and weapons. Because of this, I cannot allow her to stay."

Obito stared at Hiruzen fiercely; his face looked serious despite his age. "Look, I may not know much about her, but you can't just kick her out - that just isn't right!"

Hiruzen returned Obito's irritated expression. The two were in a silent standoff while you stayed back and thought about your situation quietly. In that moment, you caught a precarious look in the Hokage's eyes, that of empathy, of understanding. As if he secretly wanted to agree and let you live within the village.
