Enemies To Friends After Traveling Through Time
The encounter
The night sky was filled with chaos as the Nine-Tails rampaged through Konoha
Minato faced the masked man, his mind racing with strategies to stop the attack and protect his village
Minato
You won't win this! Whatever your plan is, I'll put an end to it
Tobi (the masked man)
Bold words, Hokage. But you're too late!
Tobi (the masked man)
The village will fall, and you'll watch it burn
Minato
"He's dangerous! I can't afford any mistake"
Desperate to gain the upper hand, Minato prepared a forbidden jutsu
Minato
You won't escape this! *weave hand signs*
The jutsu activated with a blinding light, engulfing both Minato and the masked man
When the light faded, the two found themselves in an unfamiliar place - a quiet, modern city with towering buildings and glowing streetlights
Minato
What... is this place?
Tobi (the masked man)
*clench fist* What did you do, Hokage?
Minato
I don't know... but it seems we're both far from home
Before either could react further, a young women grabbed their arms, pulling them to the sidewalk
Violet
Careful, you two, or you'll be hit by cars
Tobi (the masked man)
Where... are we?
Violet
This is Tokyo, Japan. Are you guys visitors?
Tobi (the masked man)
Visitors? *scoffed* Hardly
Violet
Are you lost? Where do you wanna go?
Minato
We... don't have a destinaton. Can you tell us more about this place?
Minato
"Better be careful of her"
Violet put a hand on Minato's forehead
Violet
Are you two alright? The car didn't hit you earlier, did it?
Minato
*flinch slightly* We're fine. Just... a little confused
Tobi (the masked man)
We were just caught off guard
Violet
About your question earlier, I'll tell you what I think you need to know
Violet
You're currently in the center district of Tokyo, the capital of Japan. The time is December 2024
Minato
December 2024? That's... far beyond what I expected
Tobi (the masked man)
So, we're not just in another country, but... another time?
Minato
It seems so. This is beyond any jutsu I've seen
The introduction
Violet
Why don't you two come to my house and have some warm drinks?
Violet
I'll help you adjust to this world
Minato hesitated for a moment, then nodded gratefully
Minato
That sounds like a good idea
The masked man seemingly weighing the offer
Tobi (the masked man)
Fine... but don't expect us to be grateful
Minato shot him a look, but said nothing
Violet led them to a small house
Violet
It's not much, but it's home
They all went inside then sit on the couch
Violet
Here you go, it's hot cocoa
Minato
It's cozy. Thank you, this... helps
Tobi (the masked man)
I don't know what this is, but it's warm *take a sip, still skeptical*
Violet
My name is Violet, what're yours?
Minato
I'm Minato Namikaze, and this is... *gesture to the masked man, not knowing his name*
Tobi (the masked man)
*eyeing them in frustration* The name's Tobi
Violet
Ok, Minato, Tobi. How can I help you with?
Tobi (the masked man)
I'm not asking for help, but it'd be useful if you can provide more information about this world
Minato
Yeah, anything that could help us understand this world... this time
Tobi (the masked man)
And maybe how to leave, if that's even possible *grumble*
Minato
*glare at Tobi but comment nothing* Yes, that would be helpful
Violet
*giggle* I don't know where you came from, let alone how to get back
Minato
*chuckle* Fair enough. I suppose we'll have to figure that out ourselves
Tobi (the masked man)
For now, we'll take what we can get
Tobi (the masked man)
Any advice on surviving in this... time?
Violet
First start of business, you need a change of clothes
Violet
You'll freeze just wearing those outfits in the middle of winter
Minato
Winter... we didn't think of that
Tobi (the masked man)
Fine, but don't expect me to wear anything too... ridiculous
Violet
I like this blondie more than the masked guy
Violet
What's that all about anyway?
Minato raised an eyebrow at the comment, glance at Tobi then turn to Violet
Minato
I think he likes to keep his identity mysterious
Tobi (the masked man)
*irritated* It's none of your business
Minato
Maybe we'll find out eventually
The exploration
Violet
Go ahead you two, pick what you like that can keep you warm
Minato and Tobi glanced at all the clothes, not knowing what to pick
Minato
I'm not sure where to start...
Tobi (the masked man)
As long as it's warm and doesn't look too ridiculous
Violet
How about these? *hand Minato a white T-shirt, a red jacket and brown khaki pants*
Minato
If you think it works, I'll trust your judgement
Violet
As for Tobi... *raise a black hoodie and blue jeans*
Tobi (the masked man)
Fine. It's better than nothing
After 10 minutes, they emerged from their fitting room
Minato
I think I'm good now. It feels a lot warmer
Tobi (the masked man)
You know what I think? It's ridiculous
Tobi's mask stuck at the neck of the hoodie, giving Minato and Violet a good laugh
Violet
Haha take off your mask before putting it on *wipe a tear*
Tobi (the masked man)
Not funny *go back to the fitting room*
Minato
I say it pretty much is *hold stomach*
Tobi (the masked man)
*step out, look in the mirror* I'll survive in this
Violet
Let's go grab a bite. I'll treat you to hamburger
Minato
That sounds great. We haven't eaten in a while
Tobi (the masked man)
Hamburger? What's that?
Minato
It's food, simple as that
Tobi (the masked man)
Drop the attitude, old man
Violet
Drop the bickering, or no food for both *push them out the door*
Minato
This is actually really good
Tobi (the masked man)
It's... not terrible
Violet
So, where did you two come from?
Minato
We come from a village called Konoha. It's a place where people learn to become ninjas
Tobi (the masked man)
We were pulled here, against our will. Thanks to someone...
Obito and Minato stare at each other a while before turning away with a 'hmph'
Violet
*nervous chuckle* Come on guys knock it off
Violet
You gotta work together to find a way home
Minato
I guess you're right, we'll stop
Tobi (the masked man)
Whatever, don't expect me to go all buddy-buddy with him now
