A new obito

"Obito... Obito, wake up!"

Disoriented and confused, Edward opened his eyes and looked around. Everything was destroyed—rubble and ashes covered the landscape. He looked down at his body, and with growing disbelief, he realized it wasn't his.

He turned his gaze to the man standing in front of him, a ninja with silver hair and a mask that felt disturbingly familiar. His eyes widened in shock as recognition set in.

"What the hell...? Kakashi Hatake? What is Kakashi doing here? Wait... did he call me Obito?"

A sudden wave of memories struck him like lightning. Images, emotions, battles, and moments from Obito Uchiha's life flooded his mind, intertwining with his own. It felt as though two identities were vying for space within the same body.

"Obito, what's wrong? Why are you clutching your head so tightly?" Kakashi asked, alarmed by Edward's reaction.

Edward barely registered the words. "This is insane. How did Obito handle all this emotional baggage in his life?" he thought.

Finally, he managed to respond:

—It's nothing, Kakashi. I'm fine... What's happening?

The confusion in Edward's mind was evident. According to his knowledge, Obito had died, disintegrated after the battle against Kaguya. So how was he here now?

—There's no time to explain everything right now, but... after defeating Kaguya, Naruto and Sasuke began fighting—

A deafening explosion cut Kakashi off. Edward looked toward the horizon and saw a massive detonation lighting up the sky. A Bijūdama had just exploded nearby.

—So this is the final fight between Naruto and Sasuke... It looks like they're just getting started —Edward murmured to himself.

—Come on, Obito! We have to stop them before they kill each other —Kakashi said, starting to run toward the explosion.

—Wait. No, Kakashi. Let them be —Edward responded, stopping him. His voice was firm and resolute.

—What are you saying? —Kakashi turned to him, shocked—. Why do you think this battle will solve anything?

Edward sighed and replied, with a strange calmness:

—I don't know. It's just a hunch.

The answer seemed to baffle Kakashi.

—I've never heard you talk like this before, Obito. What's going on with you?

Edward shrugged and muttered under his breath:

"In the series, Kakashi didn't talk this much..."

Then, with more seriousness, he added:

—I've simply changed. And I'll accept whatever punishment I deserve for what I've done.

Kakashi remained silent, observing Edward with a mixture of doubt and curiosity. Eventually, the two sat on a nearby rock, watching from afar as Naruto and Sasuke's fierce battle unfolded with overwhelming intensity.

Hello, I wanted to write something longer but in the next chapters I wanted to explain what the story is about and I think I explained it quite well. I really wanted to write this. I hope you like it.
