Chapter 2:

It took about a day for Tobi to get to Konoha. Because he had skipped the whole way there, he was pretty tired when he got to Konoha. It was late, and it wasn't a very safe time for a clueless idiot that could be fooled by a fox to be out. Tobi looked around to see if anyone was around. As the night went on, it became colder and Tobi clutched the jacket he had gotten from Deidara. The moon shown brightly and the stars were twinkling.

"Hello?" Tobi turned around to see a pink-haired girl looking at him. "Is there something wrong?" She asked.

"Tobi is traveling and has come to Konoha. Tobi is looking for a place to stay" Tobi answered.

"Oh." she said. 'Should I let him in? He seems innocent enough, but what his he's a pervert and he's going to xxx with me or something!?' She wanted to help him, but at the same time knew it wasn't very smart to just let a guy who was wondering around in your house at random.

"...Tobi will be leaving now." Tobi said deciding not to waste his time.

"Wait! You can stay at my place." She said suddenly.

"Really? Thank you!" Tobi said, smiling underneath his mask.

"No problem! By the way my name is Sakura." Sakura said smiling.

"Thank you Sakura-san!" Tobi said. "Oh yeah, Tobi's name is Tobi!" Tobi said, not realizing that he had already said his name a couple of times in the conversation.

"Okay, Tobi. My house is this way." Sakura said leading Tobi to her house. 'He's a little awkward, but I don't think he's a pervert.' Sakura thought relaxing a little. (Don't worry Sakura! Tobi hasn't even done anything with Deidara-senpai yet!)

Sakura's house was a 1-story house with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 kitchen, dining space, and living room. Her parents were currently on a mission and wouldn't be back for a year. Sakura entered her house and let Tobi in.

"Tobi, you can sleep in my parent's bedroom, but please don't mess with their stuff." Sakura said opening the door to her parents bedroom. "Do you have a change of clothes?" Sakura asked.

"Deidara-senpai told Tobi that all he needed was in this bag." Tobi said showing Sakura his bag.

"Okay." She said opening it and checking to see if there was a change of clothes. There was, so she closed the bag and set it off to the side. "Oh yeah, did you say Deidara?" Sakura asked.

"Yes, Deidara-senpai." Tobi said.

'Sounds familiar...' Sakura thought. 'Oh well.' Sakura thought shaking it off. Sakura turned back at the door. "Good night Tobi." Sakura said and left the room.

"Good night." Tobi said and opened his bag. He took out his Akatsuki pajamas. It was black with red clouds on it. (Let's be glad that Sakura isn't here.) He put it on and got in the bed. The window was open and Tobi stared out into the night. He took off his mask. Not a lot of people had seen his real face. Only the Akatsuki members, his unknown parents and close relatives, and Deidara had seen his face. He stared off into the night sky. He stared at the moon and thought he had saw Deidara's face. He smiled and fell asleep.


Tobi woke up at about 5:00 to the chirping of birds. He rubbed his eyes and looked out the window. There were a few people outside already. Tobi smiled at the sight and reached for his mask on the bed stand. He took it and put it on his face. He didn't really need it anymore, but now it was kind of like a fashion statement for him. He pulled out some shorts and a orange shirt. He put them on and folded his pajamas up before putting them away.

"Good morning." He said entering the kitchen. He didn't get an answer so he decided that Sakura must be asleep and made his own breakfast.

Since he lacked basic cooking skills, he ended up eating cereal. (Yes there is cereal in japan, although it isn't nearly as popular.)

"I'm leaving." He said before leaving the house. He didn't get an answer, but that was a minor detail to Tobi so he left the house and started to walk along the streets. There were a lot of people out by the time he left the house. Tobi was enjoying himself as he left the main part of the city and started to come out to more open spaces. Tobi started to walk toward the forest when he heard a scream. "Someone needs help!" Tobi said as he started to run toward the scream. Tobi stopped about a couple of meters because he saw a orange blob. 'Hmmmm..' Tobi thought. He decided that it wasn't a big deal and got closer. When he was close enough, he realized that it wasn't anything dangerous, merely a ninja dressed like a pumpkin with his orange and black clothes. 'Like my mask!' Tobi thought.

"Hey, you!" The ninja shouted at Tobi.

"Tobi?" Tobi asked, pointing at himself.

"Yes! Help me!" He said.

"How should I do that?" Tobi asked as he got nearer to him.

"...How about by untying the knot?" The ninja asked with a pissed off look on his face.

"But it looks fun up there." Tobi said. "Hey, can I do that too?" Tobi asked starting to climb the tree.

"No! I mean do whatever the hell you want but first untie me!" The tied up boy said/shouted.

"Okay." Tobi said. He climbed up and onto the branch where the knot was. Tobi tried to untie it but it was a very complex knot and Tobi couldn't undo it. "Tobi can't untie it." Tobi said.

"What?" The boy started to panic. "Here, let me try." He said starting to climb the rope his foot was tied to.

"Oh, got it." Tobi said untying it.

"Wha, wait!" The boy fell to the floor with a thud.

"Woah! Do it again!" Tobi said impressed.


The boy turned out to be okay.

"Tobi is sorry." Tobi said apologizing.

"It's alright!" He said. "By the way, my name's Naruto." Naruto said.

"Okay, Hello Naruto-kun!" Tobi said. Naruto laughed. "Tobi was wondering, why were you up there Naruto-kun?" Tobi asked.

"...Um..." Naruto was clearly uncomfortable with this question. "Sai...yeah that bastard Sai did that." Naruto explained. "He sets traps like that every once in a while, just so he can laugh at me." Naruto said.

"That's mean." Tobi said.

"Really? You're that first person who actually feels sorry for me! Thanks!" Naruto said, smiling at Tobi. (Actually, Hinata was, but how would HE know.)

"You're welcome." Tobi said.

"So, do you need a place to stay or something? Because I have space." Naruto said.

"That's alright! I'm staying at Sakura-san's place, if you know who she is!" Tobi said.

"Sakura!?" Naruto asked. "Pink-haired, green-eyed?" Naruto asked while making gestures toward his hair and eyes.

"Yes!" Tobi said.

'Sakura won't even let me in her house, what's different about this guy?' Naruto thought eyeing Tobi who watched him with wonder.

"Is something wrong?" Tobi asked.

"Nothing!" Naruto said. Then a sly look came onto his face. "Actually...would you invite me to her house?" He asked.

"Would that be okay with Sakura-san?" Tobi asked.

"Oh it will be fine with her." Naruto reassured Tobi.

"Well if it's okay with Sakura-san then yes." Tobi said.

'Yes! I'll get to see her house! Maybe I can find xxx pictures of her and this and that!' Naruto started to drool, making Tobi nervous.


Deidara was sitting by the window staring at the moon. A soft breeze blew his hair back. He lowered his eyes. The moonlight made his room look a pale blue.

But the room started to darken, and Deidara looked up in surpise. Black clouds were covering the room, and the moon was turning red.

"...Akatsuki..." Deidara mumbled. 'Something's going to happen.' He thought. 'Tobi...'


This story probably won't be one person each chapter or anything, and if I get enough support, I'll put up a part 3 where Tobi goes to live in Orochimaru's lair for a while to find more supporters there. so stay tuned!

Sorry for ending it all serious, but i hope my readers don't mind. And for people who didn't get it, Akatsuki can mean both dawn and red moon, which is why Deidara mumbled Akatsuki when he saw the red moon.

Sorry for all the reference of 'wrong' stuff, but don't worry there's not going to be anything that crosses the line of the 'T' rating.

Tobi is only loved by 17 people!
