V.2-C.9│Into Exile IX│

Even though they should be leaving as soon as possible, Obito had gotten some information that they would be joined by some others.

Specifically, it would seem like Kurenai, Anko, Rin and Rin's mother, Haruhi, alongside Kakashi's father, Sakumo wished to join him in his exile.

'I don't know what's so great about becoming criminals within the Land of Fire and being known as rogue shinobi... But, it isn't like I could tell someone or force them to not follow after me, now could I...?' Obito thought to himself about this situation.

Not only would he be waiting, alongside the others, for that other group of people to show up but he is now granted time enough to do what he wants.

Specifically to modify, complete and add his newly improved Hiraishin that should include a special formulae within alongside the original to allow him sensory abilities. 'I do wonder if it is too much to place it on people...'

After all, it was kind of like giving him a way to see what they are doing at all times, even though he isn't actually seeing and hearing and only able to perceive things through the Hiraishin: Sensor Seal like any normal chakra sensor is able to do.

Though, it does also give a very basic, rudimentary grasp on the location, or space connected around the seal. There is also the fact that it won't be active all the time passively or anything like that.

No, that would be way too much information for his head to handle at this point of time, even with having quite a robust mental strength because of his shadow clone usage alongside his Sharingan.

'Yeah, I should only use it when I need to use it.' Obito nodded as he thought to himself.

Which lead Obito to think about other things, in specific his other skills and techniques that are available to him. The Eight Gates was, is a technique that is hard to train, but his body has all of the necessary requirements to start unlocking the Eight Gates.

In fact, Obito believes that he should be able to handle releasing at least the first gate because of his regenerative abilities that he has developed. He knows that it would be taxing, but the path to becoming stronger is usually not one that is easy.

'Well, in a lot of ways I recognize that it is easier for me in comparison to others, but that still doesn't remove the difficulty that I have to pass.' Thing's may be easier, but they were not so easy that he could just do as he would like.

Though, he is quite good with a lot of things already.

Having also qualified and knowing that his talents lay in the whole space-time aspect, he started to consider whether or not he should start developing a new space-time technique.

'One that connects stuff like the Hiraishin and Kamui, or at least the science behind it and the principles of chakra usage within.' Obito was already working with a lot of ideas, where he found himself exploding with in this life.

Not that he wasn't already a great source of creative ideas, even if they were sometimes silly like his Reverse Harem Technique, aptly named for it's ability to create multiple clones of himself, but they would all appear as beautiful or handsome looking men.

'Yes, girls can be just as perverted as guys.' Obito recognized, especially in this new life of his where he has seemingly attracted the attention of beautiful females more than in his past life.

Which at the same time, his past life started to turn around and he had started to attract attention to himself from the opposite sex nearing the end of it.

'Not that it matters now...'

"Obito." A voice interrupted his thoughts. This voice belonging to Mikoto, the women whom is pretty far into the pregnancy right now. It truly made him wonder, while he is physically 13 turning 14 years of age, he isn't at the same time.

Some may find it strange for him to become a father now, and so does he what with the situation as it has escalated as it has.

"Mikoto... what is it?" He asked as she entered the small room he had taken for himself.

This place that Tsunade had said is great was more like an abandoned base of operations, in which Konoha or the Land of Fire's military at one point had used in the past. Before shinobi were a thing, the Lands needed their own militaristic force while there was also individuals or clans that probably on a mercenary type basis had been hired to fight in their ancient wars.

"What? I cant see my significant other?" Mikoto replied as she approached him.

"I don't know, can you?" Obito asked as she would then proceed to hug him and he replied in kind.

The two would remain like this in silence for a bitz before Mikoto would ask him. "What do you think? Do you think things could have gone differently?" She said referencing this entire... thing.

"Probably." He answered.

"... How about this, what do you think the name of our child should be?" She asked.

"Our child... I don't know. I guess it would depend on if they are a girl or boy?" Obito replied.

"Then, if it is a girl?" She asked further.

"Maybe... something like... Sarada? I don't know, but it almost feels like it should be this name if it is a girl." Obito answered with a contemplative expression, his arms still wrapped around Mikoto as her arms were wrapped him.

"I like it. Then, if we are to have a boy?" Mikoto asked after his answer.

"Hmm..." Obito could only really think of one person in particular.

"I know. What about the name Sasuke?" Mikoto asked, which surprised Obito a bit at Mikoto mentioning the name.

"Sasuke? And where did you get that from?" He asked in return, thinking that maybe it would be quite a coincidence that Mikoto would suggest such a name, right along the current timeline actually coinciding with the birthdate of the original Sasuke Uchiha.

"Were you not close to the Third Hokage? His fathers name was Sasuke." Mikoto replied with some confusion on her face, and usually one wouldn't see such a display of emotion when in reference to an Uchiha.

However, Mikoto could only find herself revealing things to Obito more so than she would anyone else. Really, Mikoto may be best friends with Kushina, but that doesn't mean she tells her absolutely everything.

Not would she tell Obito everything as well.

"Oh, right. Ahaha..." Obito replied and awkwardly laughed a bit at the end, for he did remember this small little fact. Something about Sasuke's parents in his past life naming him after Sasuke Sarutobi. 'Just who wouldn't of thought that Mikoto would suggest this again... It is almost as if the world is trying to correct itself...?' Obito shook his head at the thought.

That was ridiculous after all, like the world, or the universe, or whatever it was that held a certain level of control over destiny and fate was trying its best to reassert it's correct timeframe.

"So? What do you think? It isn't bad, right?" Mikoto asked him.

"No. It's fine, it's good even." At the same time. 'Maybe it should be Sasuke. A tribute? The world setting itself right after my shenanigans? Or both? Either way, I think it would be good.' "I like it. If it is a boy, Sasuke. If it is a girl, Sarada."

"Great!" Mikoto smiled before she would peck him on the check.

"What are you two doing in here?" That is when another person showed themselves, that person being Kushina. "Not getting up to any trouble, are we?" Kushina came in with a smirk, spotting Mikoto whom had a small blush, before she would separate herself from Obito in a small amount of embarrassment.

Sure, some sort of agreement had been made, but that didn't mean Mikoto nor Kushina were comfortable with such displays of affection in the presence of each other.

"We weren't doing anything that one shouldn't be right now." Obito replied, not upset or anything like that. "Is there something you wanted?" He asked Kushina.

"Y-Yes, what is it that you would like, Kushina?" Mikoto added herself, to push away to attention of the situation from herself and her relationship with Obito onto Kushina and what she wants.

"Nothing much. I just wanted to know you two were talking about." Kushina replied with clear interest shown on her face.

"Oh..." Mikoto made a noise, before looking towards Obito and wondering what the two of them should say. If anything, Mikoto knows that Kushina wouldn't exactly be jealous of her... bump within her abdomen, but also knows that Kushina may want one of her own.

That made Mikoto blush a little bit more thinking about the possibility Kushina and herself both having Obito's children. Surely it would be better if that was done, for having a child be by themselves and have no others to interact with their age was not so good.

'Maybe it would be good if our little child has a little brother or sister...' This thought brought a small smile to Mikoto's face.

"So? Are you guys going to tell me, or is it... something that I shouldn't know?" Kushina was curious, but she most certainly wouldn't step over a certain line. What Mikoto and Obito shares is their own, just as what she shares with Obito to be hers and his and no one else could share.

Neither could Obito share what Mikoto and Kushina share as friends, best of friends even.

"Mikoto, I think we should tell her. I mean, sooner or later it would be revealed..." Obito said as Mikoto was looking at him.

"Right." Turning towards Kushina, Mikoto came forwards towards her.

"Eh, what's going on?" Kushina asked as she felt a bit strange.

"Kushina, I should've told you before... I'm pregnant with Obito's child." Mikoto dropped the bomb with little semblance of a care for any fluffy words to disarm her.

"W-What...?" Kushina's eyes widened a bit at this revelation.

"Yeah, we did things." Mikoto replied. "Though, I do suspect that you have as well, have you not?" Mikoto asked with a small smile of her own.

"Well..." Kushina didn't know what to say, other than... "I guess this means that I have to get busy myself? Right, Obito?" Kushina smiled a smile that seemed a little frightening.

Kushina is the most energetic between Mikoto and her when it comes to... bedroom activities. Truly, Obito could claim that he has great levels of... energy, enough such to handle a few women, but he would still start to feel tired because Kushina has that Uzumaki lifeforce baking her up.

"Uh... I guess?" Obito replied as now it wasn't only Kushina that smiled at him, but it also seemed like Mikoto is in on this little factor as well.

'Have I gotten into more than I can handle...?' Obito thought to himself. 'Nah, I like this. I like both of them, love them even. I'm blessed, blessed more so than most.' He narrowed his eyes at the two of them with a final thought. 'I can not only handle these to vixens, but many more.'

Sakumo had kind of taken charge of the group that was now heading towards the point of contact because he still has the most experience and could be considered the best skilled within this group.

Though, Sakumo did take notice of the fact that the three teenage girls seemed to have developed their strengths enough to take him down if they came together.

Truly, it made Sakumo wonder if they were taking some sort of illegal drug to enhance their strengths, enough such that they have both the physical stamina and mental fortitude to go through with this decision.

This escape was not only harsh on the body, but harsh on the mind, for one is forsaking their home and instead are doing so for someone else. 'Though, I guess I can see that their level of devotion or affection for Obito is much greater than what they share for Konoha...' Sakumo thought to himself as they continued their predetermined path set by Lord Orochimaru.

This point, this piece of knowledge was something to shock Sakumo in knowing that Lord Orochimaru would willingly help them.

At the same time, he also understands that this was mainly because of two people, Anko Mitarashi and Obito Uchiha. 'Obito seems to have a very far reach.'

"How long do you think it is going to take to get there?" Haruhi, Rin's mother asked. She had brown hair, shaped in the same way as her daughter, alongside brown eyes and some plain features in comparison to the more beautiful or aesthetically pleasing of the female form.

She didn't share the same markings, nor the same clothing, though the mother and daughter pair did share the same sense of fashion. "It should take at least a day now. Only because we are covering our tracks of course." Sakumo answered.

"Ok, if you say so..." Haruhi trailed off, before she would add. "I'm sorry, you know."

"Sorry about what?" He asked.

"Sorry about all of the stuff that happened back then." Haruhi responded.

"No, it wasn't your fault. It wasn't anyone's fault really." Sakumo had already come to terms with things, though he would be lying if he said that he was completely ok with the treatment that happened to him.

"Remember when we were younger? Remember when I had that crush on you, but you uninterested." Haruhi seemed to become contemplative.

"U-Uh... yeah." Sakumo was a little surprised seeing the look on her face.

Giggling a little, Haruhi continued. "How silly of me. You rejected me and would then go on to get married to your wife... She was a great woman."

"Thank you." Sakumo replied as he was reminded of his deceased wife, the mother of his child, Kakashi.

"I don't know exactly why you have come, or why you wish to come, but I do hope that you will be able to be better away from Konoha. I wonder why you didn't bring Kakashi along however." Haruhi stated.

"For Kakashi... well, he is his own man now. Whatever it is he wishes to do, he can do." Sakumo couldn't say he wasn't proud.

"I guess being a parent is a great thing, huh?" Haruhi said with a smile, which did draw Sakumo's eyes towards her for a few seconds.

"Y-Yeah..."
