During the Fourth War, Obito wanders off from Kakashi’s side and follows a Zetsu all the way back to Madara’s cave.

Because when you have a technique that ensures that no one can touch you you get cocky and do stupid shit.

Like, really stupid. He doesn’t even try to hide himself.

And when he sees the great chamber with the Gedo Mazo, he freezes.

He knows this place. He’s been here before.

He remembers, then. It crushes him. He had known that war was coming all along, had heard it from Madara’s own mouth and then repeated in the many annoying voices of the Zetsus.

For one year, it had been drilled into his brain.

And then he’d forgotten.

No wonder the Hokage and his advisors had been so mistrustful of Obito when he’d first returned to the village. They’d been right all along: Obito had known the enemy’s exact plans.

He had known about dangers that no one else even knew to consider.

And what had he done? Nothing.

They were right. Obito could not be trusted. He was compromised. He could have stopped all this from happening if he’d wanted to -- could have prevented all those deaths, saved Minato-sensei, spared Naruto and the other jinchuuriki, kept the world from falling apart.

Instead he had done nothing. He was as guilty for the destruction as Madara.

If anyone else found out about what hid under his convenient amnesia...

Maybe he could tell Kakashi...

No. No one.

Obito is so disturbed that Zetsu almost snatches the sharingan right out of his eyesocket.

He teleports himself out of there and back to a safe spot, just far enough from the front lines that he’s alone. Then he rejoins Kakashi and the rest of the troops.
