Chapter 3-Allies

You remember what I said about hidden intelligence? Well, Tobi has that. Although he appears to be incredibly stupid, Tobi actually has a brain, which he can use-unlike Deidara maybe, who is truly, a dumb blondie. So, one day, when the orange-masked man was taking a stroll in the garden, (which were filled with poisonous plants, courtesy of Zetsu) he noticed a chilli bouncing around his feet.

It really was cute.

Tobi was surprised that he had never noticed it before. Maybe it had arrived during the few weeks that he was on a mission-a solo mission, thank God, so there was no irritating blonde furballs to accompany him. He bent down to get a closer look at the queer green thing. It grinned at him. Wow, it really was cute. Was this the new pet of the Akatsuki?

"Chilli is a good boy!"

Tobi smiled. This thing was basically a mini replica of himself. Innocent and annoying.

"Can you understand me?" He asked curiously.

The vegetable looked at him skeptically. (If a chilli can actually do that, but never mind, you get my point.)

"Yes, I can."

Apparently, Chilli could form proper sentences as well. Tobi was greatly impressed. For a vegetable, Chilli certainly had a very wide range of vocabulary. FOR A VEGETABLE.

"So, tell when you arrived. I've never seen you in the hideout before."

Chilli had never seen Tobi either. But he had heard enough about him. The man in front of him was supposedly very irritating, and would not be able to form actual, proper sentences, other than 'Tobi is a good boy!' or some variation of that. So, the vegetable was slightly surpised to find Tobi standing in front of him, speaking in good English. The intelligent green object figured that Tobi probably hid his intelligence, just like himself.

" I arrived about two weeks ago. So far, I've irritated and humiliated Deidara as well as Hidan in your stead."

"Ah, I see."

"I've heard quite a lot about you, Tobi."

"Oh really now. What did you hear? Is it good or bad?"

"I heard that you are supposedly very stupid and irritating-even worse than yours truly…Which is quite surprising, as I pride myself of being incredibly antagonizing. And I've actually been wanting to meet you for some time."

"Why do you want to meet me?"

"I want to become allies."

"Allies? I don't see why not. We can come up with plans to…Shall we head back to my room to discuss these matters, over some tea and cake?"

"Not a bad idea indeed…"

SINCE WHEN HAVE TOBI AND CHILLI BECOME SO SMART?

I apologise for that. Anyway, we shall get on with the story and not waste any more precious time.

So, as mentioned previously, Chilli was invited back to Tobi's room, where discussed their new-found alliance over tea and cake-because discussing things over tea and cake is always the best way to solve problems.

"So, who shall be our next target?" Asks Tobi.

Chilli appears to think long and hard about this question before answering.

"Would you mind if I got us kicked out of the Akatsuki, or worse?"

"Not really, why?"

"I think our next victim should be Sir Leader, and I am certainly not joking about with you."

"ARE YOU SERIOUS? That's suicidal!"

"Well, we could prank 'im. He wouldn't even know who did it."

"True…Yes, I think that's a good idea. Next up, Sir Leader. So, Chilli, how should we prank him?"

"….."

"….."

Unknown to the duo, a blonde-haired female-ahem, I meant male-stood outside the door, listening carefully to their conversation. Every few seconds, the trespasser would grimace, or make some stupid-looking face, as he eavesdropped on the conversation. Muttering quietly to himself, Deidara decided to go back to his room and reflect on what he had just heard.

Tobi was really smart. And now, Deidara knew it.

"Deidara?"

The blondie turned his head to find Sasori glaring at him.

"What, Sasori no danna, un?"

"You're sitting on my bed."

" #$%$$#%$^&?! Sorry."

Sasori knew there was something wrong with Deidara. The man was sulking in a corner, deep in thought. Which was strange, because Deidara was usually too stupid to be deep in thought. The puppeteer decided to ignore his partner, and trudged off to the workshop to work on some of his new puppets.

Meanwhile, Tobi and Chilli had just completed mapping out their plan. Starting from tomorrow, Sir Leader would be in for a hard, hard week…
