[ Obito hadn't been able to see the rocks falling, but he felt the tremors of the cave further collapsing in on itself and briefly he even felt the impact on his body before everything went black. This is it, the end, he'd thought, but then oddly enough the sensation of falling hit him. Falling and hitting the ground. Hard.
He was suddenly hurting more than when he had been trapped under the rocks, he hadn't even been able to feel the pain then, his nerves had been just as crushed as his limbs. He'd only felt numb and the only pain had been a dull ache where his left eye had been. Rin had done a good job. Now he felt sore all over, the ache of his missing eye seemed amplified and the nauseous feeling he got from the dizziness combined with the pain made him want to throw up. One would think that after dying, you wouldn't feel pain anymore.
More importantly than that though, he found that he could move. His fingers on his right hand curled, feeling the earth beneath him. Gingerly he opened his eye to be greeted by a night sky. Another unusual thing to be added to the growing list of really unusual things in the afterlife. With a little difficulty he managed to sit up and, after the vertigo wore off a little, have a proper look at his surroundings. A stadium of some kind, weird signs and strange lights. He registered all those things with a growing sense of bewilderment.
No one really knew what to expect from the afterlife and Obito was no exemption. However, whatever slight expectations he'd had, this certainly wasn't it. Movement caught his eye and he squinted at the darkness where the light couldn't reach.
Was it his imagination or were the shadows moving? ]
