"This world... is going to end." Said a mysterious figure in the shadows.

Obito found himself in a black void, panicking because he couldn't see anything. His senses failed him as he continued to run in the dark, searching for anything to escape the void.

"No matter how much you try... you can't escape from this place... you cannot change... the inevitable..." the voice continued to speak as Obito felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down to see his hands were stained black to then realizing there was a hole where his heart should be.

He couldn't breathe as he felt the weight of what felt like tree branches burst out from the right side of his body. Obito tried to scream but nothing came out. He tried so hard to just make a sound and cried when he couldn't say anything. He was trapped.

Footsteps can suddenly be heard in the distance as Obito felt his being slowly slip into despair. Before he realized it, there was someone standing in front of him. He slowly looked up and found himself in a state of shock when he saw them.

It was himself from his old life.

"No!!!" Obito jolted himself awake as he was covered in a cold sweat. He was breathing heavily as he started to recognize that he was home in his room.

"What was that... that couldn't have been..." Obito thought aloud to himself as he held his head with hand to collect his thoughts.

'I can barely remember anything specific from my old life... but why am I dreaming about it? Why do I still feel pain...'

~ Next day ~

Kakashi and Obito were sparring at the training grounds, following their old training routine. Except the only difference was how unified their movements felt, almost as if they can anticipate each other's movements before they even strike each other.

They both lunged at each other, about to throw a punch towards one another until Minato appeared and grabbed both their fists.

"Alright, that's enough for today. Nice work you two. Oddly enough, you both are growing stronger together. I'm sure you'll be an unstoppable team." Minato spoke as he released his grip on the two boys. They both looked at each other and grinned. You were watching them from afar under a tree, admiring how strong your best friend and crush were.

Obito noticed you watching and grinned in your direction while blushing. You returned the smile and waved at him. As Obito admired your smile, suddenly you had went from smiling to your older version of yourself crying and seeming as if you were screaming but nothing could be heard. Obito's face turned pale from the sudden change in your appearance, he rubbed his eyes and looked back at you to see your concerned expression as you approached him.

"You okay, Obito? You look really pale?" You said as you felt his forehead to see if he had a fever. Obito turned red and laughed nervously as you were suddenly so close to him.

"Y-Yeah! I'm p-perfectly fine! So fine I can go for another round of sparring! Ahaha...!" Obito felt himself become flustered and embarrassed in front of you. You continued to worry but knew that Obito wasn't going to say anything about it.

"Let's call it a day instead, I feel like we've accomplished a lot already. I was going to go see Jiraiya-sensei, anyone care to join?" Minato asked the group as they all sighed and relaxed from hearing training was over.

"I'll pass, I have my own errands to take care of. See you later." Kakashi said as he walked away from the group. Obito smiled as he felt so satisfied with the normalcy that was now set within himself and Kakashi. Suddenly, he felt (Name) grab his hand and became extremely flustered to the point where he was shaking.

"Maybe another time Minato-sensei. Obito still owes me a favor." You say as you smile at Obito, who could do nothing but laugh nervously. Minato rub the back of his neck and laughed.

"Well, I'll let you two handle that. See you for tomorrow's mission." Minato grinned as he walked away.

Obito felt like he was going to suffer from a stroke. He was alone with (Name), in broad daylight. All he could think about was how embarrassed he felt after the night before with you.

"(N-Name), what favor are you talking about?" Obito finally managed to speak as you started dragging him into the village.

"You're gonna take me out to eat, Obito! Hurry up before rush hour starts!" You say as you look back at Obito and smiled. At this point, Obito felt like he was a fangirl ready to scream his lungs out.

"L-Like a d-dat-"

"Great idea! Let's make it a date!" You teased as you already knew how flustered he was.

"EHHHHH?!?!?!"
