Disclaimer: as much as i want to own Naruto, i can't draw for shit. (this disclaimer goes for all chapters)

On to the story!


Tobi was feeling good. He had tidied the room he shared with Sasori and Deidara. He had made breakfast. He had even washed the dishes. But he had a feeling he was forgetting something…

"The mail!" Tobi rushed outside just as the mail man left. Don't wonder why there was a mail man outside of the super secret Akatsuki base. There just was.

The mail box was shaped like a bird house. In fact the mail box used to be a bird house that was found lying on the ground somewhere.

Anyway… Tobi stuck his hand into the hole, and felt around. His fingers felt Bob the spider, which scurried off into the dark corner of the mail box, and a wad of letters, tied together with a bit of string.

Tobi was about to walk back into the cave, when he heard a wail.

Tobi, being the kind person that he is, went to see if the person that wailed was alright.

There was another wail, this time followed by crying.

"Hold on! I'm coming." Tobi called. He rushed towards the source of the sound and found…

… a baby.

The first thing that came into Tobi's mind was, 'poor baby'. The second was 'how did a cute widdle baby find his way here'.

The baby gave another wail, and Tobi picked it up, and started rocking the baby in his arms. The baby stoped crying, and opened his eyes.

The baby's eyes were a glorious sky blue. He already had short, soft, spiky hair. On each of his cheeks, were three clear lines, giving the baby a slightly feral look. The baby was wrapped up in white, blood stained blanket

But the baby was still cute.

Tobi put the baby under his arm, and a small folded piece of paper fell out of the blanket. Tobi reached down, and opened it.

Written in red ink, or blood, was one word.

'Naruto'


"Leader-sama! Leader-sama! look what I found!"

"Tobi, it's a baby." Leader knew where this was going.

"Can I keep him? Pwease?" Tobi, knowing that Leader-sama would never agree, utilised the dreaded puppy-dog eyes (or eye in this case).

Leader made the mistake of looking, and found himself in capable of disagreeing. "Fine."

Tobi cheered, and ran off down the corridore, unable to restrain himself.

"Good lord, what have I done?" Leader sighed. Tobi's cheers rang through the base.

"I'm gonna show everyone!" Came Tobi's voice. Leader sighed again.
