Chapter Text
This was going to be the best party ever.
He just had to, well, plan it. And make said party actually happen. And host it.
But with Nohara Rin, top-of-the-line A-ranked Enchantress and Witchdoctor, and his only best friend, with him to help, he should be relatively fine. And Maito Gai said that he would help too. It was really something more along the lines of "Oh Obito, your youthfulness is shining brightly! It shall not blind me, I will shine too!" He then ran away, cheerfully with a cheerful wave. On his hands. He waved with his foot. Gai was weird like that.
There's was also another problem he had to deal with. But he decided he would deal with it later.
For now, he has to get the supplies. Rin even made him a cute little shopping list for everything he would need. It read;
× ♢ × Your Shopping List × ♢ × (Don't lose me, Baka)
- New clothes. Your raggedy old ones are, well, raggedy and old. Enough said.
- Better friends. Or, just more friends in general. Me and Gai are really your only friends. And you know it. You just can't admit it with your Uchiha Pride. Genma is always bullying you about something. Anything. And Asuma only hangs out with you because he's dating Kurenai and she's my best friend, and your my friend so he thinks he needs to be friends with you too. And when you guys are together you're always just so bored and awkward.
Obito skipped a few more parts of the note that were like that, until he finally found what he was looking for.
- Decorations. You have none. Go and get a few sculptures of some scary spirit thing and put then around your house. How about a few plants too? Make sure not to go all out with the decorations, though. It's not a Halloween party.
- Food. I'll add the specific kinds of food. Don't worry bro I got your back.
-Ramen. Because, well. Ramen. Everyone loves it. Whoever doesn't can get kicked out by Kushina-nee.
- Strawberries. I love strawberries. Get them.
- Anything Barbecued. People love barbecue stuff too.
- Fruit. Or berries or just anything juicy and sweet alright.
- Chocolate. To coat the fruit with. Everyone loves chocolate covered things. Everyone. Trust me. Think someone won't like something you got? Slap some chocolate on it and watch them fly to it. I actually don't care if it's like a cantaloupe or something. Put chocolate on it.
- Things to do. Your house is boring. Bored people destroy things. I know you don't want your house wrecked.
If you need anymore ideas, just ask! XOXO RIN
Rin is a saint. Sent straight from the heavens. To help him cope in needy situations. Not that he's ever really needy. He's just... a little lost sometimes.
...
One of said times were now. He, Genma and Asuma had to go shopping for the food, while the girls stayed at the house and prepared it.
"Okay. Fruit... where's the fruit?" Obito suddenly asks, looking around. He hears a grunt in reply. Asuma points to a direction. Obito squint and there, lo and behold, is fruit. The awkward silence continues.

"Kurenai, do not throw Obito's clothes away. I said to put them away." Rin sighed, this was a lot more work than she had anticipated. Maybe she should get Kushina to help her. Rin turns to her friend. "Hey I'm going to get a few other people to help out. Stay here, I'll be right back!" She runs off before Kurenai could protest.
As she made her way to her sensei and Kushina's house, she felt something... off.
She stopped, confused. It was gone the next second. She continued running to the house, with her senses heightened. But nothing else strange happens.
Rin knocks on the red door in front of her. Her sensei's girlfriend opens it, wearing a white apron over an orange shirt with her clan symbol on it. Kushina's face brightens in delight, as she leads the brunette in.
"Rin-chan! You came right on time! I was just gonna start makin' dinner 'ttebane!" She leads her to the kitchen table where Minato-sensei is at. He waves at her, grinning. He was in the middle of feeding baby Naruto-kun.
"Ah, actually I, uh... You see, Obito is throwing a party later and-"
"HE IS DATTEBANE?!" The redhead shrieked excitedly. Minato and his female student winced a bit. "Why did nobody tell me?!" She said, a bit quieter, but still loud nonetheless.
"Well, it was kind of on short notice but... We need your help." She told the older woman. Said older woman turned to her boyfriend grinning.
"That sounds like so much fun 'ttebane! Let's go, Minato and Naruto!"

If the shopping trip was awkward, he didn't even know what he would call this situation. Anyone who disagreed with him were obviously never the one who had to walk behind the other two because there wasn't enough space on the sidewalk.
When they finally reach his house, he runs in front of the other two and dramatically kicks open the door with a battle cry. Because about a week ago, Kushina taught him how to do so without busting it off its hinges, or just putting a hole through it. Or stubbing your toe. And he had to add the special effects, of course.
The three of them walked inside without any words. They set the grocery bags on his kitchen counter. The other two come up with some lame and awkward excuse for leaving, so he's left alone.
Well, apparently he's not as alone as he had thought. There's shouting voices coming from his livingroom. He quickly runs over.
Then almost falls as Something latches itself onto his leg. He freezes, and slowly looks down.
"HAHA! GET HIM NARUTO-KUN!" He hears a loud voice yell. Obviously Kushina. Obito picks up the babbling baby and sets him on his hip, like how Rin showed him previously. He grins over at the mother.
"Kushina-nee!"
"That's right, 'ttebane! I'm here because you, apparently, don't know how to throw a party! Don't worry Obito, I'll help you throw the best party ever 'ttebane!"
"Right. So, um. I got the food." She puts her hands on her hips.
"Minato is watching Naruto, and I'm helping the girls with decorations! Make the food yourself 'ttebane!" Obito mopes in reply.
...
Okay. The barbecue was done. He was no Akimichi, but he thinks it turned out pretty good. He sighed. This was a lot of work. And he had only made one thing! He was just going to get Ramen from Ichiraku's later.
Time to chocola-fy the fruit.
He gets a few packs of strawberries out, along with the big jar of melted chocolate. He also gets out some apples, grapes and bananas. He covers the fruits with the melted chocolate, and then he puts them in the refrigerator to cool and harden the chocolate.
Now he just needs to get the Ramen.
...
"Fifteen bowls of Ramen? My, Obito. You sure are growing fast."
"Ah... they're not all for me. I'd like for them to be in a to-go package as well." The Ramen shop owner hmms in reply. He puts them in the package, and he runs off.
After greeting all of the elderly and saving all the animals stuck in trees, he finally makes it to his house.
He puts all fifteen bowls of Ramen in the refrigerator. He, of course, had to move a few things around, and throw a few spoiled things away while he was doing so.
Okay. So he's done with the food. Great. Now he can relax.
He yawns tiredly, as he makes his way towards his livingroom couch. Once he's on it he reaches for his water bottle, because making food all day kinda makes you thirsty.
His hand touches something else.
"AAAAGGHHHHHHH!"
He retracts his hand, and glares at the miniature statue of a jormangandr, on his side table.
"Hmph."
The party had better be worth all of this.
