"Master Tobe? Sir?" The ninja looked up from his plans to destroy Garu towards his ninja assistant
"Yes? What do you want?" he demanded, "Can't you see I'm busy preparing Garu's death trap?"
"That's the thing, we were all wondering why you have a grudge against Garu?"
"Why does that matter?" Tobe asked as his ninja assistant rose his hands in defense, Tobe sighed.
"If you must know, I made a promise…"
"What kind of promise, mater Tobe?" Tobe rolled his eyes.
"Does it matter?"
"Ah…n-no, Tobe, sir." And with that his ninja sidekick left. Tobe sighed and looked back towards his plans, tears rolled down his cheeks.
"Tobe." A woman giggled, opening her arms, "C'mere!" Tobe rushed into his mother's arms, her big belly was trying to push him away from her.
"Hey mom? When will the baby get here?" little Tobe asked, with wonder in his eyes.
"It'll be a while, sweetie. Your new sibling has several more months before he or she is born."
"Oh…" Tobe looked down in sadness, he looked down at her belly, "I want the baby to come now though…"
"Tobe…your brother or sister needs to grow a little more, if he or she were to be born now, he or she might die."
"Oh!" Tobe blushed, and looked down, putting his hand on his mother's belly, "I'm sorry little brother or sister. Stay in mom for as long as you need to." His mother smiled and giggled.
"You're going to be a great big brother, dear."
"You think so?" little Tobe asked with his eyes sparkling, his mother giggled.
"Of course…but only if you can promise me something."
"Anything mom!"
"No matter what, always protect your little brother or sister from anything and everything."
"I promise, mom! I'll protect him or her! I'll be the best big brother ever!" Tobe's mother cuddled her little son.
"I promise, mom…I promise to protect my little sister from everything. That includes getting her heart broken…" Tobe pulled out a picture from the drawers of his desk, a picture of a young girl with odango styled hair.
"I promise to protect you, Pucca, my darling sister."
