I am Obito
   
   A quick flash of red and black signaled the movemenet of the black, spikey haired Akatsuki narrowly dodging an earth-style jutsu. Yes, Tobi had been doing a lot of dodging in this battle, not wanting to risk using a jutsu, for his opponent was none other than Hatake Kakashi, the copy-ninja himself.
   'I can't keep running.' Thought Tobi, who was sure there was no way he could defeat the well known ninja.
   “Crap...” said Kakashi to himself. “This battle is going no where.” The silver haired ninja looked at his enemy. All the oranged masked ninja had done was dodge every attack Kakashi threw at him. 'And at this rate' thought The copy ninja 'I'll run out of chakra and he's so fast . . . I have to think of something . . . soon.
    'He's just been standing there, he might be planning something' Considering this, Tobi emideitly readied himself and as though on que  Kakashi moved in for another attack, but the black haired ninja was ready.
   Tobi avaided Kakashi's punch easily and lept back a couple of feet trying to put in some distance between the two, but Kakashi was still coming at him, this time with shuriken.
   As the copy ninja threw his weapon of choice, Tobi once again made   moves to dodge the on coming bladed weapons. The Akatsuki had looked on at Kakashi just in time to see his hands move ever so swiftly. Thinking is was another launch of weapons, he moved back even farther, this however, was a fatal mistake.
   A pair of arms grabed Tobi from behind and held his arms firmly behind his back. Turning his masked face, Tobi saw that it was Kakashi who grabed him from the back.
'But wait if it was Kakashi who attacked me and is holding me now, then . . . '
“'The Akatsuki had looked on at Kakashi just in time to see his hands move ever so swiftly”'
'Hand signs, a clone!' Tobi now found himself in a bad situation, this one he had walked right into.
   As the clone Kakashi held the unknown Akatsuki, the real Kakashi headed straight for him. Holding his fist back, he ran top speed toward his enemy moving the slightest amount of chakra to his fist. 'I don't need to kill him' Thought Kakashi, to himself. 'I just need to render him unconceince, that way I can take him back to the village for questioning'
   Tobi stood there unable to move, watching Kakashi come closer. At first it all seemed to be in slow motion, but when the moment came it took only seconds.
  The clone went in a poof of smoke as the copy-ninja's fist colided with the Akatsuki's mask, releasing everything, chakra, strength, and the small anger that came up every confrontation with the missing ninja organization.
   The impact rattled Tobi to the bone and he flew backwards, his landing didn't help the pain. After the shock of what just happened left, Tobi found the strength to get to his knees. Almost on impulse Tobi lifted his hand to his mask to make sure it wasn't cracked or broken.
   “Whoa” said Tobi out loud. “I knew that my mask was made of strong stuff , but I didn't think it could stand up to a punch like that!” Tobi knew that the only reason he wasn't flat on his back was because of the strudiness of the orange mask.
   “Damn.” said Kakashi. He was so sure that that would have done it!
   “KAKASHI-SENSEI!!!” Screamed two simultanious vocies. “Oh no . . .” said Kakashi, as he saw Naruto and Sakura running down a near by hill. Unfortunitly, what worried Kakashi the most was the fact that the Akatsuki he had been fighting was seperating the teens from him, and this strange missing-nin was coming over Kakashi's recent attack.
   Tobi was startled by the sudden shouting he heard. Looking in the direction of the voices he saw two young ninja rushing his way. 'Great.' this being the first sarcastic thought he's had this whole battle. There was barely a chance he could have fought Kakashi and lived, but now the silver-haired ninja had reinforcments and Tobi was positive that he was going to die.
   Naruto and Sakura saw their sensei in what was now a battle field, but it was Naruto who saw that black cloak with red clouds first. With out even thinking Naruto had already made his way down to the Akatsuki, rasengan forming in his hand. Complete anger once again was blinding his better jugdment. All he saw was the enemy, the Akatsuki, ninja whom have harmed innocent people and all he felt was anger for what they had done to people, to his friends and the fear that he might lose someone to their plans. And he raced at this masked, kneeling Akatsuki with the full content to kill.
   Standing to his feet, Tobi knew he had to get some kind of ground or he really wouldn't have any chance in this fight at all. Looking back in the direction of Kakashi, Tobi noted the shocked look in his opponent's eye and turned to where Kakashi was looking. What he first saw had changed, one of the two ninja that had come to Kakashi's aid was well infront of the other coming at him like a rocket, this one, a blonde, had an unreadable look in his blue eyes. It wasn't the attack that Tobi knew was coming for him, that wasn't the scary part, but that look in the young ninja's eyes that brought up something truly frightening.
   The only word that could discribe it was, emotion. Not that Tobi was emotionless, he wasn't anything like Itachi. It was more that he felt that the pure unchecked anger in the blonde's eyes didn't belong to him. Tobi hadn't hurt this ninja and he certianitly hadn't met him. Tobi didn't know why this ninja could look at him with such hatred, and there was something else . . .
   Naruto was nearing his target, the groung giving away under his energy. . .
   The blonde haired, blue eyed ninja seemed to bring back something familiar to Tobi . . .
   Sakura was shouting behind Naruto, but he didn't hear her. The only word that went through his mind now was 'kill ' repeating itself again and again . . .
   That ninja was only a few feet away and Tobi had no idea what to do, not that he was thinking. Something, something was plagueing his mind. This ninja looked familiar, but who, who? It burned in the back of his mind . . .
   “This one will do it!” shouted Naruto, forgetting all else.
   Who? What? It was almost killing Tobi to remember. Spikey blonde hair, bright blue eyes . . . wait . . . Yondiame, the 4th Hogkage! But Yondiame was also . . .
   “Sensei . . .”
   That word, that one word no more than a whisper, stoped Naruto dead in his tracks.
   “What?” asked Narto, his face on longer showing anger, but pure question. “Why did you call me that?”
   'Why, why had I said that?' Tobi didn't have a clue. All the thoughts that had been racing in his head came to a sudden hault.
   Kakashi recoved quickly over the situation and yelled for Naruto.
   “Naruto what are you doing?! Get away from him!”
   The blonde ninja known as Naruto looked over at the copy ninja completely letting his guard down. Tobi took that mistake as his advantage and prepared an attack.
   Saukra, who was closer to the two, saw what was about to happen and screamed to warn Naruto, but Kakashi also saw what was about to happen and was quicker to act.
   Gathering what chakra he could spare and sending it to his feet, Kakashi ran to save Naruto, and gave one last attempt to knock-out his enemy.
   Tobi sensed Kakashi running at him and had no time to dodge or block his attack. Facing an immpossible choice to either finish attacking the young blue-eyed ninja or face another attack from Kakashi . . . Tobi never got the chance to choose.
   He was right on the mark, Kakashi went right at Naruto's attacker, his fist once again slamming against the spiraled mask, but let out a much greater amount of chakra, his only thoughts to get the Akatsuki away from his team.
  That had done it, Tobi felt it at once. As he was again, thrown off his feet, Tobi knew the impact from that last blow did all but incenerate the orange mask. He landed hard on solid ground, just waiting for another attack, but it didn't come, at least not yet.
   Kakashi wasn't sure if the man was out cold or not and at the moment he didn't care. Turning around he saw that Saukra had caught up to them, with a worried look on her face.'Okay then, first comfirm that no ones hurt, then lecture Naruto.'
   “Naruto, Kakashi-sen-” started Sakura, but Kakashi cut her off.
   “It's O.K. Sakura, we're both fine, but Naruto . . .”
   “He called me 'sensei'” said Naruto, who still hadn't fully recovered from the whole situation.
   “He what?” they choursed. “Naruto are you sure you didn't just hear things?” finished Sakura.
   “Yeah, I'm sure.”
   'What could that mean?' mused Kakashi. “Well, no matter now we need to figure out what to do.”
   “Oh, Kakashi-sensei,” piped Sakura ”Tsunade-sama sent back up, and they should be here soon.”
   “Thank you Sakura.” said Kakashi, his head swimming with questions, looking back and forth from Naruto to the still Akatsuki laying on the  ground only a few feet away.
   Tobi couldn't do anything now, they had more ninja coming! He was to weak to fight back and his mind started to fill back up with questions! All he wanted to do was stand up.
   The shuffling of dirt made the three ninja go on the defense as, their enemy started to move.
   “He can't have to much left in him.” whispered Naruto, who's attention was on the here and now.
   “Don't make that asumption” countered Kakashi. “He hasn't shown any outstanding jutsu, but that doesn't mean he won't have a surprise up his sleeve.”
   Tobi made a move to get up, every bit of his body demanding he just stay down. Ignoring his muscles painful cries, Tobi was able to get to his knees, what was left of his mask fell to the ground in bits and pieces. Finally getting to his feet Tobi lifted his head, for the first time looking at his opponents face to face.
   As the Akatsuki started to move Kakashi warned everyone to be on guard. ”Be ready.” he told himself, but as his enemy brought his head up, nothing in the world could have prepared Kakashi for what he saw and the painful memorys it brought.
   “O-Obito?”Kakashi's voice nearly cracked on the name.
   Naruto and Sakura looked at the Akatsuki Kakashi had adressed as 'Obito'. He didn't look familiar to either of them, the only thing that made him stand out was a piece of white coth used as an eye patch covering his left eye.
   Kakashi however looked at this man with growing rememberance.
   “Obito?” said Tobi. That name struck him as something else familiar. 'Oh yes' thought Tobi. 'That use to be my name.' Not that Tobi had amnesia, but there was a long period in his life where he had to go through a long rehabilitation period, due to a massive injury, which he wears a special type of armor for, and didn't have the time or stamina to go looking back on his past. He knew that he use to be a Kohnoha ninja and due to a mission gone astry was how he obtained that injury.
   'But . . .' he thought trying to recall. 'did I know Kakashi, the infamous copy-ninja?' By the look on Kakashi's face Tobi was sure the silvered haired ninja knew him.
   Kakashi couldn't . . . no, wouldn't believe it! There was no way this Akatsuki could be Obito. Lifting his head band, Kakashi revealed the  Sharigan eye, which he normally kept hidden. Because of the Sharigan's power Kakashi would be able to tell if this Akatsuki was using ninjutsu or genjutsu to alter his apperance and look like an older version of Kakashi's friend.
   Tobi was confused, Kakashi had just unveiled his sharigan eye. 'But I'm not doing any kind of attack for him to copy' But what really confused him was that eye, he had heard Kakashi was the only ninja alive, save for the Uchiha, that had the sharigan eye. Seeing the eye made Tobi bring his hand to the left side of his face where his eye would be. Tobi remembered that the fact that Kakashi had a Sharigan eye concerned the fact that he was missing one of his own eye's.
   Kakashi's knees were ready to give away. This wasn't a genjutsu. It was Obito. He came to the thought that it might be a huge considence, but the details were to obvious. Cloth covering the left eye, light scars trailing the right side of his face, and the uncanny likelyness of his apperance, no this was Uchiha Obito, his fateful friend who'd given Kakashi one of his Sharigan eye's as a gift and dying wish. Then at once the whole sence of that day came rushing before his eyes.

----
   “Obito!” screamed a young Kakashi. His friend lay barried under a mountain of rocks. He and his other Team mate, Rin rushed over to their fallen comrade.
  Obito had pushed Kakashi out of the path of a falling rock, just to be insnared by the trap himself.
  Desprate to free his friend, Kakashi attempted to move the boulders covering the left half of his friend's body.
   “Shit!” said Kakashi. The rock just wouldn't budge!
   “It's okay Kakashi.” whispered Obito. “I'm dying . . . the other side of my body . . . I can't feel it.”
   “No . . .”
   Rin was crying, there was no way the free Obito.
   “Oh that's right, Kakashi, I never got you a present, so I have something for you . . . my Sharigan eye . . . take it, it's yours . . .”
   “What?” asked Kakashi, barlely able to manage a wisper.
   “You can put it in the place of your missing eye with Rin's medical jutsu.
   “But . . .
   “There's not much ti-” Obito went into a slight coughing fit and brought up blood.
   “Fine Obito, I'll take it.”
   “Good Kakashi and please take care of Rin.”
----

   Kakashi fell to his knees, the memory to much for him to handle, and burried his face in his hands.
   “Kakashi-sensei!” Both Naruto and Sakura went to their teacher's aid, completely oblivious to why he was in such a vulnerable state.
   “Kakashi, Kakashi-sensei are you all right?”
   “Please Kakashi-sensei answer us!”
   “It can't be, it just can't be . . .”  mumbled Kakashi. It was more of a plead than anything else.
   Tobi looked at his now would-be enemys. Why had Kakashi suddenly colapsed . . . wait . . . 'Why do I even care?' thought Tobi. This was the perfect time to attack! The two other ninja had completely forgotten that he was there, yet Tobi couldn't. Something in the back of his mind wouldn't let him make any kind of hostial move. Closing his eye in consentration, completly blocking out the rest of the world, Tobi tried to remember.
   “We're almost there!” annouced the head of the six man team.
   “And remember to be on your guard, it must be dangerous for Lord Hokage to need to send help for team Kakashi.” warned another, just as they reached a small clearing.
   Tobi was rattling his brain, a vocie was calling out to him. Who? Who's voice was this?
   The Konoha ninjas were now able to make out four individual people and one of them appered to be in pain.
   -Obito!-
   'Huh' this voice cried out from the dark blank of Tobi's mind. It seemed to cry out for Tobi . . . no, not Tobi, it cried out for . . .
   One of the ninja reconized who was kneeling, it was Kakashi! Naruto and Sakura looked as though they were worried. 'It must be bad.' he thought. But wait, only a few feet from them was . . .”An Akatsuki!”
   -OBITO!-
   'Kakashi?' Tobi asked the voice ringing in his mind.
   -OBITO!-
   'Kakashi? KAKASHI!'
   “Kakashi?” whispered Tobi. That was enough. The silver haired ninja looked up and for the first time and Tobi, no, Obito reconized his once good friend.
   'This Akatsuki hurt Kakashi and will probably go for Naruto and Sakura next.' Thought one of the Konoha ninja, so he took a his move. Grabing a kunai, the ninja launched himself into the air, and with a quick release of his arm, the kunai was flying towards the unknown ninja.
   There was no warning. Tobi had no idea what was coming for him until it was to late.
   The kunai had found it's target, immpaling itself into Tobi's back.
