Last time on Tobi…
Open eyes stare at the red circles in the sealed man's eyes.
"How about it kid?"
Obito knew his answer…
So he lifted his head and in a soft whisper came his response…
"No."

"Ugh… I'm so hungry…oh, suck it up…C'mon; we haven't eaten for a week! You should be feeling the effects of that by now…yeah right! I don't feel anything!"
Growl…
"…was…was that our stomach? Yeah… well… I guess leader wouldn't be mad if we just ate one human… the next one we see? Definitely."
Sighing to himself, Zetsu emerged from the ground and proceeded to walk, hoping to run into a human or something edible.
"I wonder if it'll be chewy… and crunchy… maybe we could start a fire and melt down the skin… god… that would be so delicious ... Shut up, you're making me hungry! But- ….!"
Suddenly, a huge burst of chakra radiated out of no where. The power of it was so strong… and so uncontrollable…
"D-did… did you feel that? Yes… that power… we must have it… I wonder if it's a delicious bunny… …I…I don't know who you are anymore…"
Quickly, Zetsu ran up a tree and searched for the core of the power; the power of the charka was so strong that it felt as if it was coming from everywhere. Zetsu didn't have to search around everywhere to find it; up ahead about 2 or 3 miles away was a huge mass of red charka flowing around everywhere from a visible clearing.
"Whoa… red charka? Is it safe to go over there? Doesn't matter… I want to see where this power is coming from…"
The Venus trap man jumped onto a thick branch and sunk into it.
Quietly, Zetsu peaked out from the ground, hoping not to get noticed by whatever person/monster/thing that was radiating such powerful chakra. To his surprise, the chakra was leaking out from a huge pile of boulders- but when he looked around the battle field looking area, he could see the cause to the rock slide.
"Lets go clear out the rocks and see what's under there…are you crazy? What if there is a crazy weasel down there that could eat us? Doesn't matter. I want to see what's under there… and whatever it is could help our organization…Fine. Your funeral."
Focusing his chakra to his hands, Zetsu cautiously approached the pile of rocks. Seeing that nothing was going to happen to him, Zetsu began to move the rocks and boulders out of the way, using his chakra in his hands for strength to move boulders.
As Zetsu removed rock after rock, the power of the chakra became closer and stronger… Zetsu was getting close to whatever he was looking for…
"Hey… let's take a break… this is taking up too much strength… for once, I have to agree with you… just a little break…"
Sighing, the green haired man sat on one of the boulders he'd thrown out of the way earlier. Who knew it would be such hard work moving boulders and rocks? He'd wanted to just use a rock jutsu, but was afraid of crushing what ever valuable thing he was looking for.
"Ugh… I could totally go for eating a hand right about now… a hand… yeah, a hand. No, look! A hand!"
The black side quickly pointed at a hand that was sticking out of the pile of rocks they had been working on. The hand had red chakra twirling around it, mocking Zetsu to come forth at it.
As fast as they could, Zetsu ran to the pile and hastily began to remove rocks. He smiled as he began to see what he was uncovering…
There was a hand…
Then an arm…
A side of a body…
A neck…
And then…
A face…
Golden eyes stared at the face with intensity… waiting for eyes to shoot open and attacks or screams to be thrown. But, Zetsu knew that nothing like that should happen… the face was that of a child after all. As he stared, he felt something trickle down his face. His hand reached up to wipe away what it was, but gasped to see blood, and then he felt excruciating pain.
"What's going on!? Zetsu! We need to get away! The chakra is hurting us! The chakra…?"
White side stares at the fierce movement of the child's chakra, it was ripping away at everything it touched, including Zetsu.
"What are you doing? Help me get us out of here!"
White side stared at the child's face, it was a face taken by pain. The child's right side of the body was crushed by a boulder. Just one boulder. Zetsu gave out a cry as another wave of chakra ripped at him.
"Zetsu!!"
He huffed and raised an arm.
"Zetsu! What the hell are you doing!!"
"Shut up and help me get this kid out!"
Black side froze in shock and from panic…then his shocked face melted turned into a smile…
"Heh…you could have just said so."
Together, Zetsu and Zetsu ignored the raging pain from the child's chakra and smashed the boulder that was crushing the kid.
VROOM!!
Zetsu jumped away as the child's chakra blasted out of its body, free from the boulder that was holding the body down. Red strands of chakra swirled around everywhere, then to Zetsu's amazement, strands of blue, green, purple, yellow, orange, black, white, pink, and every freak'n color possible began to fly out of the child's body.
The strands of chakra swirled around everywhere, as if they were dancing with each other. A soft breeze flew by, ruffling Zetsu's green hair and catching falling sakura petals and leafs…
Zetsu stared in awe… The 'dancing' chakra… it gave him a nostalgic feeling… A masked man… A masked women… A dance… Hand in hand… a twirl… a throw… a catch… a kiss…a mask thrown off… a scream…
Zetsu closed his eyes trying to shun the unwanted memory… but the chakra… it reminded him so much of the dance he had with the one he loved… his last dance.
No…it's not that…
The dancing chakra didn't remind him of pain. It reminded him of hopes…and dreams. Colors twirled together to present a rainbow after a dreading storm. Everything would have been wet, the air would have been humid, and the sky would have been cloudy… but as long as the faint, colorful, arc shaped light was in the sky, you would know that everything would be alright. You would take in the scent of wet earth and grass, smile, and be on your way…
But as we all know, good things don't last forever…
The dance of the chakra soon came to a slow, fading stop as the chakra returned to its owner and orange rays began to fill the sky…
The sun is already setting…
"We should go check on the kid…y-yeah… we should…"
In a casual like manner, Zetsu slowly walks over to the child's body and stares at it sadly.
"It's a boy." Black side stated, as if he was just telling a mother what the gender to her newborn child was.
The boy looked like a broken doll that had been thrown to the ground and broken- left there by a child who had just gotten a new toy and would never play with the 'baby' stuff again.
As a result of Zetsu staring at the boy, he concluded that the boy was very much alive, but the whole right side of his body was crushed and both legs were shattered, he doubt that the boy would ever walk or run again. Blood was everywhere, and a scars ran everywhere on the boy's face.
"We should keep him. After that amazing display of chakra, it would be smart of us to take him…Yes. It would."
Knowing that it would be impossible to move the boy from the location he was at, Zetsu began to use his chakra to heal the boy up a little, but to his surprise, the boy's chakra was already working on healing him up.
"Looks like we can pick him up or something…"
Zetsu decided that they would get caught if they continued to stay in their current location, so he picked up the boy and sunk into the ground, transporting himself to a hidden cave he knew about that was little ways from a river.
Once secure inside the cave, Zetsu carefully laid the boy down. After he had, he felt a pang of dizziness crawl up his head.
"D-do you feel that…? Y-yeah… looks…looks like we overworked ourselves…"
Zetsu groaned as he felt the world around him spin. It felt as if he was watching a skidding video, his vision blackout every few seconds.
THUD.
Now he was staring at the ceiling to the cave… and he could only wonder, why do I feel so weak…?
Raising his arm, Zetsu wiped the sweat off his forehead, but paused to see blood. Blood all over him… He was bleeding so much, but he couldn't feel a thing… and now he found himself staring at the black dots beginning to form in his vision…
"Rise before the
sun
But leave when it lifts
The show must go on
So we'll
start on the run
Buy us a meal
Or buy us some time
If we
want to arrive there
Look ahead at the road
You can't see a
thing
Maybe we'll make it
Before it's too late
There is no
time to wait…"
"Mister…"
Eyes twitch…
"Oi, Mister…"
A poke in the face…
Zetsu's eyes open lightly, his vision was blurred, but he could make out a few things…
There was a dark figure in front of him…
A shining red eye staring at him…
What…? Where am I?
He then spotted the stone, rocky sides of a wall behind the figure.
Oh yeah… cave… the kid… wait… the kid!?
"Oh. Hey Mister… you're awake…"
The kid seemed well and awake, but something struck as odd to Zetsu…
"Hmmm… you're not awake, awake though… you look like you're gonna black out again in a few more seconds…"
Yeah… something was odd… it was the kid's voice. It wasn't the childish voice he was expecting from the boy he had dug out a few hours ago… The voice sounded as if it was from a calm, cool, collected teenager… and the voice… the voice was smooth and had a flow that felt like water… Zetsu was also expecting a raspy voice… the boy had been crushed by rock and dust after all.
"Ah… looks like you're losing your grip…"
The kid was right, Zetsu was starting to see holes in his vision again, and he felt sleep crawling up his spine.
"Hmm… bye mister…
Thanks for saving me..."
I think I'm getting the hang of this!
So, yeah, review, let me know what you think.
And just so everyone knows, I'm basing each chapter off of each song I put up. So you could listen to the song, and be reminded of the chapter.
Next Time on Tobi!
Chapter 3!
Into the Ocean!
"Not knowing how to
think
I scream aloud, begin to sink
My legs and arms are broken
down
With envy for the solid ground
I'm reaching for the life
within me
How can one man stop his ending
I thought of just
your face
Relaxed, and floated into space"
