The last thing Obito remembered before he passed out in the kamui dimension was the smirk on the face of Loki. That smirk cemented the fact to Obito was that he was being let go to live and not because he was successful in his escape. Loki could have stopped his escape from the get go and let him die.
He felt helpless again. It reminded him of the Kanabi bridge and the death of Rin. Even after all these years nothing had changed and this time they were facing someone who had control over time.
He wanted to speak to Zetsu but he lost consciousness before he could speak up.
----------------------------------------
The clouds passed away revealing the clear night again and the stars shone brightly and even the galaxy could be seen from where Aoto and Loki stood. Aoto was shaking and went down to his knees. He was shaking because the emotions came rushing to him as his knees touched the grass.
"Science bringing down ninjutsu. That should be written in the books of the library."
"No. It was ignorance that brought down Obito. If he had known that the sigils were electric discharge, he wouldn't have got himself wet." Aoto said as he heaved heavily. He couldn't believe himself. He had just defeated Obito, one of the most powerful ninjas of the current world.
The fact was sinking in for him. But of course, he could also tell that Loki had helped him setup the stage so he didn't defeat Obito personally. There was still a long way to go and another reason why Obito got defeated was because he looked down on Aoto and he was mainly focused on Loki from the get go.
That was his doom.
"Congrats on the win." Loki said and for the first time he genuinely appreciated Aoto. All this time he had been very strict with the teaching and magic. Aoto nodded with a satisfied smile. Happy that he progressed well.
Aoto opened a portal and then both of them left through that. They had to leave because he could hear the shouts of shinobis coming from the village. The 'hunt' for Itachi was on at this point and they didn't want to meddle.
In fact before they left, Loki had changed the whole scenery back to the way it was, using time magic. The shinobis wouldn't be able to sense anything. No even with the Inazuka clan's help.

Aoto was back home and didn't immediately leave for Westeros because he was pretty sure that Danzo and his subordinates would keep their eyes on them. Even though they have annihilated the Uchiha clan, an autocrat like Danzo would want to divert their anger in order to keep the village united and what more way to do then go after Aoto himself.
For some reason, Aoto had the feeling that Danzo would go down the same path as some of the people of his previous world. Danzo would fire up those people who were already jealous of him and cook some kind of theories of he was sucking the lives of the poor and thus garner strength over time.
Unlike last time, they couldn't use actual strength to bring Aoto and his goons down. Only by moral support he could and Danzo had been rallying for the purpose for quite sometime now. Over the next few days, there had been an atmosphere of tension and agitation. People were very much afraid and though the main culprit had been declared as Itachi, and some of them got relieved but a person who could destroy his own clan was someone to be afraid of.
Meanwhile, Sasuke had been bed ridden. Itachi didn't even need to use mangekyo to give him a lifetime of mental trauma as he didn't have one, but nonetheless he was taken to hospital and Unohana was keeping an eye on him.
Naruto was very sad when he came to know that Sasuke lost his parents. He had always been a bit jealous of Sasuke and had been trying his best to catch up on him. Before when he was failing in ninjutsu he felt himself vastly inferior and only after the advent of magic did he develop a bit of spine.
Naruto, now had a family, but Sasuke had lost and he remembered how he used to feel when he didn't have parents. Hopefully everything had been alright. Aoto did notice that Naruto had been silent since the massacre and even asked Naruto if he wanted to talk but he refused.
While this was going on, one day one of the Anbu Roots showed up at the house of Aoto. It was late at night when he did so and asked for Aoto.
"Did they grow some balls since last time?" Jon asked when he opened the door as everyone had been having dinner together tonight.
"Who knows." Aoto said. The Anbu pretended that he didn't hear them and asked Aoto.
"Danzo-sama asks for your presence."
"Then tell Danzo-sama that he can be happy with his own presence." Aoto replied.
"You dare speak Danzo-sama..." Before the Anbu could even speak his words, he felt a constriction in his airflow and felt like the air had just escaped his lungs. The air seemed to heavy to breathe and within a few seconds he knew that he was being choked and someone was doing this without even moving.
He was horrified.
"I.. I... You.. Will .. I.. am .. from... from... Konoha...." The Anbu's emotions fluctuated in the few seconds that he was trying to speak. At first he wanted to threaten Aoto only to feel the air he was vaguely breathing leaving in the fastest way possible at the time and could only use the emotional card.
Thankfully Aoto let him and fell on the ground while coughing loudly. He had never felt so much fear before. He had only heard that Aoto was a monster before and even his colleagues had warned him not to stepover.
Of course, he was too proud to think much of a person who couldn't even pass the Academy.
