drawing Obito until my hand falls off, day 6 (almost)

I'm holding myself as hard as I can not to start drawing KakaIru for 24\7

It looks like I'm shipping everyone and everything.

What about the ones about mutual corruption, like Dodie's Monster (And through my red eyes, you look pale// All of your scars are looking more like scales// Two ugly creatures, two sinister preachers// Blind to the past like a couple of monsters// Just a couple of monsters), those that are about being unable to leave the past in the past, or let the other move on, or even better, the ones that are about caring for the other but in a definitely unhealthy way! And then there is Doctor by Truslow that has lines (You are the enemy// A friend of me// The remnants of my mind// I am psychotic to the core// But I want more for it defines the very purpose// And reason I’m alive) 😁

Plus the wolf songs.

there are so many types of music which suits for kakaobi. aggressive rock about hating your ex? ofc damn it. sensual female voice singing something like "hello, heaven"? sure thing. gentle, quiet declarations of love, as if you were showing your most vulnerable place? oh god. hating your ex again? arghhhh

upd: one more. a dramatic bond (only for their radiohead songs)

Oh oh oh, do they perhaps reform Akatsuki to what they were initially? Not that much time had passed, if Obito alone could make Nagato abandon his initial ideology, surely KkOb together can undo that. And then four of them can establish some grand Utopian place where there are basically no shinobis, because, let's be real, if that place has the Pein's Paths and Obito, neither of whom need rest nor can realistically be taken out of action permanently by anything short of some sort of nuclear explosion, to protect it, along with the shinobi who agree with the idea but can not really be anything but a Shinobu anymore, they'd need no other ninja to constantly replace the fallen ones.

And the economics can be boosted by mokuton, because the fields of Ame can grow anything, in any amounts, and export it, instead of getting money from salesword commissions. Besides, Ame seemed to be more industrial as is, so they'd likely be able to export what that entails to other countries that are more preoccupied with producing warriors rather than engineering and scientific advancement.

Though, at least half of Akatsuki would not make the cut. While Deidara and Sasori could potentially be something more productive and less mass-murder-y, especially Deidara, who was really a child when first approached (12, right?), Hidan and Kakuzu definitely couldn't. Itachi would have loved the idea, perhaps, but on another hand would he still be sent as a spy to that sort of Akatsuki? Would the Massacre even go the same way without Obito there to do everything he did? Kisame could be drafted the same way as in canon, that's a no-brainer, but Zetsu is an interesting case. Without the Eye plan would they pretend to be okay with that to look for another opportunity, or would they keep on pestering Obito to go back to original plot? Would they just melt away and decide that perhaps the next century would be more auspicious? Or perhaps, would Kakashi Point out the obvious and they manage to reverse-engineer that thing? White Zetsu seems to be all about humanity, and they like Obito. If Black one gets destroyed, would new clones be simply unaware of Kaguya and any plans involving her, thus being great source of both physical labour and emergency medical treatments, plus the messengers almost as quick as Kamui itself etc etc?

thinking about if konoha ninja who became anbu frequently 'died' so they wouldn't be on any registry and so other villages would get word that notable shinobi have 'died'. they don't do it often, that would be suspicious, but they do it to kakashi. minato assigns him to anbu and apologizes blandly when he tells him his death is going to be faked. kakashi, broken traumatized and depressed, thinks nothing of it.

kakashi 'dies' on a mission months after the death of rin, after obito watched, after he lost pretty much everything and any sense of self he had. his body isn't recovered and the circumstances of his death are unclear.

if im being entirely cruel, this means that no one in the village (guy, asuma, iruka, etc.) would know that kakashi is still alive. they all think he's dead and they grieve him and kakashi... disappears. he doesn't know himself anymore and he can't, because he's dead and he's in the anbu now and that's all that matters. his life for konoha in life and death, always.

obito, being the stalker he is, looks for kakashi. he missed him entering the anbu, he missed the faked funeral, he missed a lot. he tries to find him in his shoebox apartment, stakes out minato's home, sits at the memorial stone and rin's grave. but kakashi never shows up and obito decides he'll check the active missions in konoha, just to know where kakashi is (definitely not to follow him and watch him, that'd be weird, duh). so after sneaking into the hokage's office with kamui, he rifles through the piles of s-rank and a-rank missions, but kakashi's name is nowhere to be found. confused and almost insulted on kakashi's behalf, he checks the b-ranks and below, but no dice.

now obito is getting...nervous might not be the word but he's definitely feel angry at this point. if kakashi isn't home, on a mission, grieiving, or with minato then where is he. obito stalks guy next, finds him sitting on a rock by a stream, glum. he's pale, his eyes are watery, he looks exhausted and obito is definitely nervous at this point. he'd never admit it but for something to get guy of all people down... obito fears for the worst.

through much stalking and espionage, obito finds out where kakashi is.

he's dead.

that can't be right.

he would've heard if kakashi was dead, right? zetsu would've told him. he would've known. kakashi has one of his eyes, he definitely would've known. and obito, pissed, scared, and indignant, opens up the connection between him and kakashi, searching for kakashi's vision, for what he can see. he hasn't done it since that night when rin...

he didn't want kakashi to know it existed, never even wanted to take that chance. but he doesn't care anymore. kakashi isn't dead. it's just not possible.

obito was right. kakashi isn't dead.

but he might as well be.

kakashi has no way out of the anbu now, no way that wouldn't give away konoha's secrets. guy can't help him because guy thinks he's dead, minato can't help him, he killed him in the first place. kakashi will forever live, breathe, and die for konoha. it makes obito's blood boil, he feels reminiscent of the night rin died.

he hates kakashi. he wants to hate kakashi. he can't hate kakashi. he can hate the world, he can despise konoha, he can want to kill minato. but kakashi...

he's never been able to hate him. no matter how hard he tried, how easy kakashi made it for him. when it came to kakashi, his balance between love and hate was never more skewed.

there's a particularly awful mission, kakashi is the only one to return to the village and he's...he's not good. obito watches him laugh hysterically as he washes his hands of blood that isn't there. he's never seen kakashi so broken and it hurts more than he ever thought it would.

obito gets kakashi out of the anbu. kakashi hates him for it, fights him, thrashes against him and his will and ideologies. kakashi doesn't know him, obito was too ahamed to reveal himself. it doesn't matter though, kakashi wants to die. he was happy in the anbu, he says. it'd be a quicker death, a noble death.

you've already died, obito shouts at him, enraged and torn apart. how can't he see it? how can he be so naive and blind to it all?

kakashi doesn't answer, doesn't know what words to say to make this stranger believe he isn't worth the trouble. obito has no choice.

with a shaking hand, he removes his mask. kakashi watches, eyes wide and wet and obito throws the mask to the side to hold out his hand. you've already died, but you can be reborn.

with me.

kakashi, broken tattered and thoroughly sure he's lost it, takes obito's hand. yes, kakashi thinks, he's died. but if this is the afterlife, than maybe things won't be so bad...
