Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto, but do own the plot!

I've always wondered what it would be to pair Sakura with Tobi. He may seem cheerful on the outside but in the inside he's really dark. So I really want to try putting an innocent Sakura with the mastermind of the Akatsuki.

But I do have a question, is Tobi Obito or is he Madara? And would you guyz want him to be Obito or Madara?

"What does the scroll say, Deidara-senpai?" Tobi asked trying to peer over his supposed senpai.

"Would you stop it Tobi?" Deidara snapped back, clearly annoyed. Tobi, though, did not seem to notice Deidara's irritated mood.

"Mmm, but Tobi's been a good boy, so Deidara-senpai should be nicer to Tobi." Tobi pouted as he crossed his arms.

Deidara sighed, exasperated by the scroll and his current team member. He did not enjoy this at all. Although, he could admit that trying to blow up Tobi would be fun. Of course, he wouldn't say that to Tobi, it would be as if he was saying that he accepted Tobi. But the mission did seem simple enough.

"Ne, Deidara-senpai, please let Tobi see it!" Not able to take it anymore, Deidara threw the scroll right into Tobi's face and with success it hit his teammates face.

Tobi, who got hit with the scroll, picked it up from the ground in front of him and read it.

Mission: Kidnap a girl by the name of Sakura Haruno.

Hidden Village Konoha

Rank: Jounin

Age: 18

Hair: Pink

Eye Color: Green

Height: 161 cm

Tip: Be cautious. Do not underestimate this girl.

Tobi stared in awe. "Deidara-senpai, you do know who this girl is…right?"

"Che, like I care, yeah." Was his answer.

"Eh, but she's the one who killed Sasori-san."

"I highly doubt that a girl with pink hair can kill Sasori-danna."

Tobi scratched his head; maybe he was wrong about this girl then? He could have sworn that the other time, when he went to retrieve Sasori's ring, the place was smashed to smithereens. Oh well, Deidara-senpai's always right!

And somewhere far off into the distance is a pinkette who could not stop sneezing.

"Oi, Sakura-chan, did you catch a cold? You keep on sneezing."

"No, I'm alright Naruto-kun. I tend to sneeze like that sometimes." Sakura smiled brightly as they both headed to Ichiraku's to eat ramen.

Naruto then shrugged. "Okay."


"Ne, Deidara-senpai, how are we going to kidnap her?"

Deidara pondered this for a few minutes. Although he did not know why they had to capture this girl, he did know for a fact that ever since the Akatsuki was found out, Konoha's security had sky rocketed in order to protect the kyuubi. So, how were they going to kidnap her?

"Oh, Tobi knows, Tobi knows!" Tobi raised his hand as if he had just read Deidara's mind.

"Yeah?"

"Okay, so Tobi and Deidara-senpai will wait somewhere in the forest near Konoha, and when Sakura-chan comes out for a mission, is when we're going to pounce on her. And then we have a success! Yay~!" Tobi clapped his hand at his brilliant plan.

"Che, that won't work. She would be with a group of people, un." Tobi then had a crestfallen look on his face.

Suddenly his face then changed once again in a look of happiness (well, if he didn't have the mask on). "Then how about this? So, Tobi and Deidara-senpai disguises as merchants. Tobi then enters a bar to go drinking and Deidara-sempai waits outside. And then Tobi finds out information about Sakura-chan, and voila we find out where Sakura-chan lives and we kidnap her."

"That seems decent but why do I have to wait outside? And why do you call the pinkette Sakura-chan? You don't even know her."

"Eh? But Tobi thought that Sakura-chan sounds like a nice name."

Deidara shook his. "Whatever, let's just go, un."

"Hai, Deidara-senpai!"


Sakura was utterly exhausted after the long day. She plopped onto her bed and thought about the day. She had woken up at six in the morning and went to work at the hospital until eight at night. Then, she had met up with Naruto and they had both gone to Ichiraku's to eat ramen. Later on, she got into an argument with Ino about random stuff and now here she is, twelve in the morning and exhausted.

"Might as well go and sleep. There's nothing else to do." She mumbled to herself as she tried to sleep, but to no avail. For some reason, she couldn't sleep. She felt a sort of restlessness inside of her body, as if something was going to happen, and she did not know whether that something was good or bad.


"Why am I here again?" Deidara asked himself, although Tobi heard him.

"Why, Deidara-senpai's here because of a mission with Tobi!" Tobi answered cheerfully.

Deidara once again shook his. How the hell did Tobi ever get into the Akatsuki? With a personality like this, it was so hard to believe that he could have survived this long without getting killed. "Tobi, I was just asking myself that question."

Apparently, Tobi didn't hear Deidara for he was putting on his 'disguise'. This disguise consisted of a straw hat, a cloak to wrap around the Akatsuki cloak, and a mule dragging a cart along with it. Both Akatsuki's decided to disguise as craft merchants, courtesy to Deidara.

"Hey, Tobi, what's the point of putting on that disguise if you don't take off your mask?" Deidara, who had always been curious about the face behind Tobi's mask, asked.

"Tobi's sorry but Tobi cannot tell you that, but do not worry Deidara-senpai, Tobi will succeed even if this mask hinders Tobi!" he waved his hand in a knowing manner as he nodded his head, agreeing with himself.

Deidara gave Tobi an exasperated look and gave up on convincing him to take off his mask. "Are you ready then, Tobi?"

"Hai, Deidara-senpai!"

Deidara could not believe that the plan had worked. They had both gotten into Konoha without a scratch. He eyed Tobi, maybe he was pretty useful after all. Pfft, like Deidara cared, he was still going to try and blow up Tobi no matter what. "Okay, then, un. Let's go on with the plan, yeah."

Tobi nodded. When they arrived in Konoha, it was already late at night at around twelve in the morning, but the bars were still filled with late night drinkers. Tobi felt excited. The plan was going according to plan, plus he was going to get to drink! Yay for him!

"Now then Deidara-senpai, you know the plan. Tobi will just be inside and once Tobi finds out about Sakura-chan, then Tobi will come out and tell you!"

"Like hell I was going to agree to that! I'm coming too, yeah."

"Eh? But why if Tobi needs back-up?"

"That's why I'll go with you too, Baka!"

"Oh, Tobi see's now! Okay!" Tobi agreed quickly, just wanting to get something to drink and enjoy the fact that he had gotten into Konoha being an Akatsuki and all. "Now, it's time to have some fun!"


Sakura did not know how she ended up in a bar, but she did. She really couldn't sleep after all, and had somehow wandered into this small bar. For some reason, something had been bothering her. And her instincts were telling her that something bad was going to happen. Her instincts were never wrong. She figured if she stayed awake then maybe she would know what that bad thing was and she hoped it wasn't that bad.

The door to the bar opened, causing a cool breeze to enter and hit her. She turned to look at who had just entered in, a blonde and a guy with a mask on. Sakura felt as if she had seen these two before. It was on the tip of her tongue, but for some reason, the names just wouldn't come to her mind. "Probably just someone I had happened to pass by or something." She muttered to herself.

The blondie and the guy with the orange mask came towards the bartender. "Tobi can't wait to get a drink!"

Tobi? That name sounds so familiar. Where have I heard that name before?

"Ne, Deidara-senpai, are you going to drink with Tobi too?"

"Che, of course you dimwit. Why would I come with you then, yea?"

Deidara? Oh, shit! He's from the Akatsuki! But then, why would he be here in Konoha? There could be other Deidara's in Konoha, couldn't there?

Sakura knew that that was impossible. She had looked at Konoha's records before and there was no such person as Deidara other than the Deidara from the Akatsuki.

Should I just lay low? I don't want to cause any trouble. They'll probably just leave. I mean, if the Akatsuki wanted something, they wouldn't just come here to drink, right?

While Sakura was trying to convince herself, Deidara and Tobi sat a couple of seats away from her, unaware of her presence.

"So, Deidara-senpai," Tobi whispered, "how are we supposed to get information on Sakura-chan?"

At this moment, Deidara wanted to bang his head on the table. He thought that Tobi thought about that already. What was the whole point of going to the bar then? To enjoy a good drink? Now he had to improvise. He was definitely taking back the part where he had thought Tobi was useful.

He then looked around, taking in his surroundings until his eyes landed on pink hair. Pink hair? Could it be this easy? Even Deidara couldn't believe his own eyes. Here, in this bar, was the girl they had to kidnap. "Oi, Tobi, do you see who I see?" Deidara nudged his team mate.

"Ooooh, it's Sakura-chan!" Tobi whispered in a loud-ish way. "So, um, Deidara-senpai, what do we do now?"

"Get her alone and then kidnap her, yea."

"Okay, Tobi will do it then!" Tobi then got up suddenly and walked straight to Sakura.

When he approached her, she was confused as to why he was confronting her, but tried to imagine him not there. Tobi though, suddenly coughed loudly, causing her to jump. She looked up and tried to smile as sweetly as she could. Acting like she didn't know who he is. "Yes, is there something I can help you with?"

"Yea! Deidara-senpai and Tobi are going to kidnap you!" Tobi answered bluntly. "So please let us kidnap you!"

Deidara finally hit his head on the table about a gazillion times. Tobi could be so dumb sometimes.

Sakura was caught off guard by this. He was so blunt. What the hell?

"So, what's your answer?"

"N-no." Sakura managed to speak out.

"Eh? But why?"

"Why would I let you?"

"Well, I'll treat you nicely!"

"No!" Sakura could not believe that she was getting in an argument with the enemy, as if they were just friends.

"Please Sakura-chan?"

"S-Sakura-chan? When did I ever let you call me that?"

"Well, Tobi thought it sounded nice. You don't like it?"

She couldn't believe this. An enemy calling her Sakura-chan! Was he really a part of the Akatsuki? His attitude certainly didn't fit in with it. Finally deciding, Sakura got up abruptly. "I-I'm leaving!"

"Eh…already? Tobi didn't even get to drink yet! Please stay a little longer!" Tobi begged.

What the hell is wrong with this guy? Sakura, in a long time, was surprised. Wasn't the enemy just supposed to grab her and take her away if she was supposed to be kidnapped? This guy is such a weirdo.

Deidara, who couldn't wait anymore, got up and came towards Sakura.

Sakura looked at Deidara and got into a defensive stance. If this is a fight they want, then it's a fight they'll get!

"Aww, why do we have to fight?" Tobi asked. "Just to let Sakura-chan know, Tobi's a pacifist!"

Sakura and Deidara sweat-dropped at this and both shouted out liar at him and then glared at each other. They both then cracked their knuckles; they needed to let out some steam and this might just help.

"Well then, are you ready, yea?"

"No!" Sakura answered.

"What?"

She looked around at the civilians in the bar, concerned for their safety. "Let's do this outside."

"Fine then, un."

"Oooh, Tobi wants to join in too!"

"No!"

Well then, what ever happened to the kidnapping mission? And Tobi's a pacifist?

Please do review or else Tobi will be sad!
