My Team

My Team

Immediately my gaze slid to your name.
Obito Uchiha.
How many times have I been here to remember you and our team. Our team…
I can still see us before my eyes today: you, black-haired, grinning and with safety glasses. Rin, rolling her eyes annoyed when our bickering got on her nerves. Yondaime, trying hard to stop us arguing.
I still remember your characteristics. You were chronically late, Rin was always balanced and our Sensei always smiled. Or almost always ...
And I ... obsessed with rules. I didn't like teamwork, even though you have pointed out its importance to me so often.
It happened as it had to: I am to blame for the breakup of the team. Dissolution through the death of the members.
You died first, Rin shortly afterwards and Yondaime did not stay long among the living either.

I was so dumb…! If I had looked after our team from the start, as one would have expected from me as Jo-Nin, everything would have turned out differently.You would have kept your Sharingan and would still be alive and Rin would not have jumped off the cliff out of grief.
You pushed me aside and you were buried under the rock instead of me.
How I would have loved to protect you again ...
How I would have loved to give my life for yours ...

I will never forget your gift. What if I have achieved my current strength through it? When Rin implanted your Sharingan for me back then, I never thought it would work so well for me ...

Every morning I remember you, the ones I loved.
And I especially mourn you, my best friend.
My current team doesn't know anything about my past and is always annoyed when I'm late after visiting the memorial stone.

Wait ... what time is it?

I look up to the sun. Around 10 a.m.

Good gracious! I'm late again! Let's go to my team!
One last, regretful look at your name, then I disappear into a cloud of dust.When I appear in front of my team, I am fixed by two angry and one annoyed pair of eyes.
Uh-oh ...
"SENSEI KAKASHI !! YOU ARE TOO LATE AGAIN !! THREE HOURS TOO LATE !!", Sakura rumbled off.
"Sorry guys, I'm a little lost ..."
Now there were three annoyed pairs of eyes.
"Yeah sure ..."
Oops. I should urgently work on my excuses ...

We're finally going to work. I'm secretly watching you. You are so similar to us ...
Naruto is very similar in character to Obito and he is in love with Sakura, just as you were in love with Rin.
Sakura stands for our Rin, she always tries to settle the boys' quarrel and is in love with Sasuke, like Rin with me back then.
And Sasuke probably reflects me again. He's just as cool and silent as I was. He also doesn't think teamwork is essential.

Oh, I just hope you will be spared an end like ours ...
