Past

*Back in Konoha*

"Hmm, so you say that Kumogakure might be a problem".

"Yes lord Hokage, although I have temporarily scared them off, I'm sure that they will come again, and when they do it won't be just one squad".

The old Hokage sighed "uhh, there is no peace, I guess everyone is bonded by greed and they seek to take the spoils of the war".

"Yes lord Hokage, they know that we are currently facing a crisis against the Iwagakure forces, and also the Sunagakure forces," the yellow-haired man said as he kneeled in front of the old man who was sat behind his desk with a pipe in his mouth.

There was a short moment of silence, "currently our biggest threat is the Iwa shinobi, they are our priority" the old man paused and took another puff of his pipe, "I have a mission for team Minato, you will take your team and infiltrate the Kannabi bridge in Kusagakure".

Minato the twenty-two-year-old shinobi nodded.

"You are to occupy Kannabi bridge and stop the Iwa supplies, if you can we could turn the tide with the stolen supplies and distribute it along the frontlines, to the shinobi that are bravely facing the Iwa shinobi, this could turn the war in our favor".

"Understood lord Hokage" Minato responded, "And what if we can't hold off the forces trying to take over Kannabi bridge again".

The Hokage responded, "then destroy it, as long as we can stop their supplies from reaching the village then they will still suffer huge consequences turning the war in our favor".

"Sir" and with that, he flicked out of the room to search for his team and to inform them of the new mission.

After he gathered his team and informed them of the mission, he let them have time to prepare and get ready to leave the village. Meeting up at the front gates a red-headed lady was saying her goodbyes to the departing group.

She gave the kid with the Uchiha crest on his back, a hit on the head and said "don't you get injured Obito, you're always so clumsy, if you come back injured your gonna have to face my fist".

He looked at her then smirked, "hmf as if I would get injured, I'm gonna be the Hokage remember, and that's a promise".

After saying farewell the four of them left the village in the direction of the Kannabi bridge.

*At the border of Konohagakure forest*

'I'm certain that I used to live in Konoha, the trees and the landscape are the same as the dreams that I keep having' I was laying down at the base of the tree, eating a rice ball.

Back in the Land of Hot Water, I found the bounty exchange house and collected the Ryo from Kakuzu's bounty. I think it's pretty fair, I mean the guy did just leave it behind.

I stocked up on my supplies again. I had just reached the border of Konoha, but it would still take me around two weeks till I reached the village.

My travel had been peaceful for the most part, I had did run into a couple of Iwa shinobi squads which I took care of easily.

The surroundings of Kohoha felt familiar but at the same time it felt very different, I wasn't sure what it was so I put it out of my mind and began to carry on with my journey.

After a few more hours of traveling, I found a nice spot beside a river and set up camp for the night. I didn't need the rest but I decided that I should get some as there is a war currently going on, and anything can happen when you're not fully prepared.

In the dead of the night, all that could be heard was the faint sound of the river and the leaves rustling in the wind. Until I shot up straight and began catching my breath.

"Huff!, huff," I was sweating uncontrollably while panting, I was in a state of shock, I relayed what I saw in my head.

Everything looked bigger than usual and I was running through a burning forest. Everything felt so real, as I could feel the heat burn my skin.

I was running for a while until I stopped at an old burnt-down house, it was destroyed and blown up. The cause of the fire. I began to look around searching for any survivors, but I couldn't find any.

There was a track left from people fleeing to my right so I followed and as I did, there was a constant feeling of dread and pain, there was a feeling that there was something that I lost, something missing in my life.

After running for a while I stopped, and what I saw made dreadful memories resurface in my mind, it was the image of my dead mother slumped again the tree. It was like I was stuck in a Genjutsu, made to relive my mother's death.

This is where I woke up, I remembered, memories of my childhood resurfaced. I clutched my head in agony as the memories flooded in. After remembering my mother's death, it triggered a chain reaction, and all the memories of me killing the shinobi and living with Konan resurfaced.

I sat there clutching my head and panting uncontrollably, sweat rolled down my body and I felt myself go weak and limp.

I reposition myself against the tree and stared at the sky. I slowly calmed myself down, the sudden flood of memories made my body react and start to hyperventilate. Although my body was calm, my head was in a state of disarray.

I wasn't able to control my body because ten years of memories flooded into my head. considering that I only had memories of about five years of my life, it was like having two bodies and they both lived for five years, then they joined together after those five years, and all their memories and experiences merge.

The memories would overload your mind and put you in a state of shock, you would be completely defenseless not being able to control your own body. Now imagine if you received ten years' worth, your mind would completely crash, temporarily.

I sat there staring at the moon for what seemed like hours, processing my memories. My vision was slightly blurry and there were tear streams that were evident on my face.

"Mother, Konan" I managed to weakly say.
