So let’s talk about team Minato and Obito’s demise under the boulder.

• Imagine the walk home from Kanabi bridge spent in utter silence because no one dares to say anything.
• Imagine Kushina running up to them as they enter the gates and asking about Obito. “There was an old lady with groceries on the way, huh?” she’d ask, cheerful as ever, and then utter confusion as Rin starts to cry and Kakashi finds something very interesting about his feet.
• Minato looking at her, with a completely straight face, and very calmly telling her that Obito was killed in the line of duty. That without his sacrifice the mission couldn’t have been completed. That he was a hero. Then shock and horror on Kushina’s features as Rin cries a little harder and teardrops hit Kakashi’s feet.
• Imagine Minato lying awake at night, going over the details in his head. Wishing he’d been faster. Wishing he’d been better. Wanting to cry, but knowing he has to be strong for the rest of his team.
• Imagine Rin spending day after day training until she can’t even move, because she’s convinced that what happened to Obito is her fault. That if she hadn’t gotten captured, Obito would show up with that goofy grin of his and ask her if she needs company. Rin being convinced that she needs to be stronger so she’ll never fail like that again.
• Elderly people around the village all asking about that Uchiha boy who had always been so sweet and helpful.
• Itachi being just old enough to realize that the bigger child with the big grin, is gone. That he isn’t coming back.
• Kushina making lunches for Minato’s team and always packing enough for one more person
