At this point, Obito cared absolutely nothing about how or why he was here. He believed Kakashi, in that Rin had been saved, and now, that was what was important. Kakashi was an adult now,too, and an adult who somehow--it was hard to get his mind to accept, much less phrase--an adult who seemed to care deeply enough about others to have the trust of all of the Leaf-nin present. He'd followed his father's footsteps then, too, knowing what that could mean. Obito bit his lip and concentrated on a dust-less atmosphere. He knew that he'd personally see soon enough, but he really did believe Kakashi's words. As fiercely as he'd hated the jounin moments before, this was a different Kakashi, a Kakashi from years in the future. And somehow, Obito felt that this one wouldn't lie to him.

If Kakashi was an adult, it meant he'd had a long time to live that way, violating ninja code. He'd had a long time to protect the people he worked with, and apparently, he hadn't been shunned for doing so. In fact, he'd even been given a team to train. Things had changed, then. Not just in Kakashi, but in everyone in Konoha. He gave a small smile, genuine, and when Kakashi touched him in a way that was clearly intended to be supportive, he sniffed and tried to ignore the fact that his eyes were burning. He wanted to get home and watch these changes happen, both in Kakashi and everyone. Hopefully, like Sakura said, they'd figure it out soon.

It took a couple seconds of silent blinking--avoiding tears from happy things was practically unimaginable since life as a ninja didn't allow for it--but eventually, Obito nodded. "Okay," he said with a firm nod. "I'm ready." He didn't understand why there was something that Kakashi needed to tell him right then, when he was already overwhelmed and not very good at being overwhelmed and Kakashi knew that he wasn't very good at being overwhelmed, but Obito trusted him enough to accept it.
