Naruto: My and Obito's mutual redemption

The sky outside the window was so dark that it seemed to be pressing down on it, and the air was like a stagnant pool of water, without a trace of wind stirring it.

The old-fashioned wall clock was still ticking, and the room was dead silent, without any emotion.

Heavy rain is coming.

"It seems that this is the end for me..." On the rooftop of the hospital, a thin figure in a hospital gown laughed self-deprecatingly. "Maybe this is my fate. Now that it has come to this, I have nothing to complain about."

"It's just... it's such a pity that I haven't had the chance to see this world properly... it's a pity that I'm always alone."

The air was getting thicker and thicker, and the dark clouds were pressing lower. A rainstorm was approaching, and the thunderclouds in the distance were flashing with dazzling white light.

"Boom——"

As the first drop of rain fell, a huge gully seemed to appear in the sky, and heavy rain instantly flooded the entire view.

“I really like the rain...”

The cold rain slid down my face, and the sky was still emitting dazzling lightning...

37 years of Konoha

At the border of the Fire Nation, there were lightning, thunder, and heavy rain.

As an extremely dazzling white light flashed, "BOOM!!" a thunder that sounded like the end of the world resounded throughout most of the Fire Kingdom.

"Hokage-sama." A figure with silver hair and wearing a green vest suddenly appeared in front of the desk in the Hokage's office.

"Have you investigated it clearly?" The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen asked slowly, holding a pipe in his mouth and looking out the window without turning his head. The Third Hokage, who was in his prime, was respected by people as a 'Ninja Hero'. Even if he didn't give off any momentum, he had an invisible pressure just standing there.

"I'm sorry, Hokage. Our team has been investigating the border of the Land of Fire for half a month and found nothing suspicious. That huge thunder... should be a natural phenomenon..." The silver-haired man lowered his head and said with a guilty look. "As for the Hidden Cloud Village, we didn't find any abnormal behavior... The initial speculation is that it has nothing to do with the Hidden Cloud Village."

"Thank you for your hard work, Sakumo. Go back and have a rest." Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped the pipe in his hand and looked into the distance thoughtfully.

"Then, Lord Hokage, I will take my leave first." After saying that, his figure disappeared from the spot.

"It seems that I thought too much..." The old man took another puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled the white smoke, as if he was relieved. "The war has just ended, and the ninja world has just been stable for a short time. We must not let any more trouble happen. The village needs to rest."

At the border of the Land of Fire, a dilapidated mountain hut was filled with the cries of a child. A sturdy man in the hut looked at the child in the arms of the midwife with excitement. "Thank you for your hard work, Meiwa! Hahaha, it's a boy! We have a son! Meiwa! Did you see it?! The same white hair as me!! The eyebrows and eyes look more like you!" He said while rubbing the corners of his wet eyes.

The man's name was Takumi, he was an ordinary farmer. His mother died in the war when he was two years old. When he was young, his father took Takumi to the hills on the border of the Land of Fire to escape the war, but he himself had no memory of it. The father and son depended on each other for many years. Unfortunately, his father died when he was sixteen due to a recurrence of an old injury he had sustained while escaping the war. He was left alone in the mountains to farm and hunt for a living.

In the summer when he was 18 years old, he went up the mountain to hunt as usual when he was suddenly hit by a rainstorm and had to stay in a dilapidated temple on the mountain to shelter from the rain.

When he walked into the dilapidated temple, he found a fainted woman lying on the steps at the door. The woman had a good-looking face and her clothes were dirty, but he could see that the clothes she wore were extraordinary and not something an ordinary peasant woman could afford.

Although he was confused, he didn't care too much and rescued her and brought her back home to take good care of her.

Later, he learned from the woman that she was a young lady from a noble family in the Land of Fire, and she had fled her family because of the civil strife caused by the war. But when she mentioned her family, she hesitated and did not explain in detail, but only gave the man a strange jade token.

Perhaps she had seen through the viciousness of people in the power struggle and was tired of this kind of life. She wanted to live a simple life.

They fell in love and the woman became pregnant with his child.

It was another rainy day with lightning and thunder, and their child was finally born.

"That's great...Takumi..." The woman who had just given birth lay weakly on the bed, her face as pale as paper, her forehead covered with fine beads of sweat, her wet hair clinging to her cheeks. Her eyes were slightly closed, but between her eyebrows there was an indescribable happiness.

The rain was still falling, with no sign of stopping. The couple named him "Yuyan". Their meeting was in this rainstorm, and their child was also born in this rainstorm.

"What am I doing?" A lonely soul kept wandering in the chaos. "Is this the underworld? It's so gray and hazy, why is there nothing there..." He only remembered seeing a dazzling white light suddenly flash across the sky, and then he lost consciousness. When he regained consciousness, he was in this state now.

In the dimness, the noisy sounds became louder and louder, there was the noise of heavy rain hitting the ground, and there were also gradually clearer voices. "Xiao Yuyan..." He heard a man's voice. Although he was sure that he had never heard this voice before, he inexplicably felt very warm.

"Who is it...?" He was confused, his consciousness was hazy and unclear.

The earth after the rain exudes the smell of earth, a unique smell.

When he regained consciousness, he suddenly found that he could see things, but what came into his sight was a simple ceiling made of thatch.

"What do you mean?" Was he not dead? He tried to sit up in confusion but found that he had no strength at all. He waved his hands and feet around and was surprised to find that his hands had become extremely delicate, as if he had turned into a baby's.

"No way..." After a moment of panic, he quickly analyzed the situation. "Travel through time...? To be honest, it's a bit old-fashioned..." Although he didn't even have the strength to sit up, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Meihe! Look! Xiao Yuyan has opened his eyes! The same light sapphire eyes as yours! Meihe!" A man's voice sounded from above his head. He was stunned for a moment. It was that strange but warm voice.

It turns out that I am really reborn now. My parents named me "Yu Yan", which is very consistent with my favorite rainy days.

Things are unpredictable.

Maybe he was born with bad luck in his previous life and it was brought to this life. When he was just a few months old, a few exiled bandits broke into his home. This kind of situation was not uncommon in the days after the war. In order to protect him and his mother, his father fought with them alone, while his mother ran for her life holding the young boy. But how could a woman with no fighting power be a match for these bandits? Not long after she ran away, she was caught up by a bandit who came over.

The woman knew that her man was probably in danger, but she had to at least protect her only child.

The bandit flirted with the woman with obscene words and pressed on. The woman was pale and in great pain. But the smart woman knew that she was no match for him, so she pretended to give up struggling, slowly put down the child and walked towards the bandit. Just as she was about to get close to the bandit, she suddenly took out the scissors hidden in her arms and stabbed the bandit's neck. The bandit reacted instantly and stabbed the woman in the heart with a long knife.

The woman was pierced by the long knife, but the bandit underestimated the woman's will as a mother and suddenly stabbed the bandit's carotid artery with the scissors in his hand. So the woman and the bandit died together, and she protected her child.

Maybe Yu Yan suddenly sensed something, and Yu Yan, who was often in a daze, suddenly woke up. The baby's body energy was not enough to accommodate his huge soul as a time traveler, causing him to often sleep. So when he woke up this time, he didn't understand what happened at all, but what he saw was a scene like Shura hell, with his mother and the bandits lying in a pool of blood. But his young body couldn't do anything even if he was in pain, and he only had an instinctive physiological reaction and burst into tears.

"Captain! Something's happening!" A ninja wearing a forehead protector with a swirl pattern appeared on a tree near Yuyan. He turned around and said, "Captain! There seems to be a baby crying!"

"What?" The man called the captain instantly appeared next to the ninja. "I'll go check it out!"

"Shh-"

The three of them appeared next to Yu Yan at the same time.

"Captain, it looks like bandits are causing trouble here." A ninja said as he observed the bodies on the ground, "It looks like this woman is the child's mother."

They picked up the crying Yu Yan and comforted and coaxed her.

"Oh, how pitiful."

The three of them searched in Yuyan's swaddling clothes and found a necklace and a jade pendant.

"This looks like a keepsake or something. I don't know what material it's made of. It doesn't look like crystal or something like that. And it seems to be able to sense chakra." The captain took it in his hand and turned it over and over again several times, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

"There are words engraved on this jade plate!" said another ninja. "Yu... Yan... Yu Yan! Captain, it seems that the name of this little guy is Yu Yan."

"Captain, the bodies of three bandits and a farmer were found ahead." Another team member returned to the captain and said.

The captain frowned and said, "It seems to be like this. The bandits were rioting, and the man stopped the bandits and let the woman and the child escape first... Since he is an ordinary farmer, how could there be such a strange necklace at home... Well, the man is dead... Since the child is still alive, he must not be left here, take him back to the village..."

After burying the couple's bodies, the three of them took the children and quickly left.
