Hello and thanks to all of my reviewers!

Enjoy the new chapter :)


Tobi is Tobi

Why did he always have to fail? Always! Why was being able to achieve immortality so difficult? He very nearly growled aloud, as he paced back and forth in front of a couple of his subordinates, who were trembling silently in a line. All seven of them, feared that they would be killed by the very well-known snake sannin, the missing-nin from The Village Hidden in the Leaves.

Orochimaru whipped around, his throbbing head instantly protesting to the movement, and he stopped his pacing, gripping one of his subordinate's necks tightly in frustrated rage, before slashing the young boy's chest open with his sword that usually hung close to his hip, under his cloak from a purple belt. The young boy, no more than twelve years old, screamed as his blood gushed out rapidly, and he fell to the cold, unforgiving floor, slowly bleeding to death, because no one would dare help him.

Orochimaru hissed darkly to himself, and sped away, his black Akatsuki cloak billowing softly, no sound coming from it, while ordering the other underlings to clean the mess up. He quickly passed through the dark halls, the lights flickering eerily, he really needed to get those fixed it was bad for his eyes. The dim hall was filled with cells, some empty but holding old blood, while others were filled with the agony filled screams of his experiments. A slow smirk came across his face, as he tried to ignore the excruciating pain behind his eyes to listen to the music; he would find a way to become immortal soon, very soon.

The Akatsuki, or more importantly, Pein, did not know of his experiments, Orochimaru made sure of it. Pein would not allow it, something about being annoying to deal with, besides he didn't want Pein to be immortal too. So Orochimaru did it in secret, as he had done in his own village, Konohagakure no Sato, The Puny Feely-Feely Village of Hidden Leaf, and he did hide it well. He took much pride from being able to hide from the powerful members of Akatsuki.

As soon as he had gotten to the end of the hallway, and reached what appeared to be a dead end, his smirk grew, his experimenting was right in the main hideout, and while it was dangerous, it was also the last place they would look, if they ever heard of it. If they did hear of it, he would be able to get away before they found him. Besides it was hidden with a powerful genjutsu. He completed a simple series of hand signs, muttered 'kai' under his breath, and his left hand was glowing a dim blue as he slammed his hand onto the barrier of the 'dead end'. The dark tanned wall crumbled before him, to his eyes only and he easily walked into another, lighter hallway, with working lights. His yellow snake-like eyes, brightened unnervingly, as he thought of new ways of experimentation for #309, #222 and #683. #309 had much promise, as did his newest underling, Kabato who was very talented in medical jutsu and favorable for his loyalty to Orochimaru.

He paused as he had very nearly passed the room he was aiming for in the first place, he really should pay more attention.

As he stepped into the almost blindingly bright room he hissed in discomfort, his headache growing almost tenfold, before he blinked quickly to regain his sight. His eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced around the room, finding nothing really out of the ordinary in the Akatsuki Medic-Bay, except for his partner, Sasori, who never even needed to be in the Medic-Bay in the first place. Sasori was staring blanking at him as he sat, with a bored-like manner, his eyes half lidded, at a desk that was located near the cabinets of pill bottles and liquids, which was at the back of the infirmary. Orochimaru blinked in confusion, but ignored his partner, in favor of looking for a few pain killers to help with his headache.

"Orochimaru," Sasori greeted.

Orochimaru paused in his search to nod slightly in the redhead's direction, "Sasori." He went back to his quest immediately, but after a few minutes spent looking for the Aspirin, he scowled, while his headache stabbed at his temples. "Sasori," he hissed rudely, glancing in the puppeteer's direction.

Said redhead blinked his hazel colored eyes blankly before looking up from the desk of papers that Orochimaru had not even noticed before. "Yes?" He drawled the word out slowly, barely opening his mouth, for someone that grew impatient quickly, he talked very slowly.

Orochimaru scowled, "Where is the Aspirin?"

Sasori blinked slowly at him again, but this time Orochimaru saw annoyance quickly flashing to and from his eyes, "Tobi."

Orochimaru blinked, confusion crossing his face before he could stop it, "Who?"

"Tobi," he repeated blankly.

Orochimaru stared for a long moment at Sasori, who was staring at him with such a blank look of annoyance that Orochimaru almost fidgeted. "And who," Orochimaru hissed, "is that?"

"Tobi is Tobi!" Orochimaru flinched heavily from the flamboyant, loud, high-pitched, shrill, annoying voice coming from a man that sounded like a child, who was covered head to toe in some kind of cloth, along with a swirly orange mask, with one circular eye whole, which the swirls all ended up to. Orochimaru blinked with an expression of shocked disgust on his face as he eyed the suspicious character. "Tobi is going to be a new member very soon! Hi, Orochimaru-senpai! Sasori-senpai told me about you, Tobi is Tobi, nice to meet you!"

The snake sannin who shared the look of his summons glowered at the man-child before him with disgust. "Right," he murmured slowly, his eyebrow twitching, as his headache steadily grew to new levels when Tobi's voice rose until it was nearly a screech by the end of his little introduction. "Aspirin," he stated simply.

Tobi's head tilted to the side slightly, before giggling, and Orochimaru's disgust developed to even higher levels to create its own village. "Oops! Tobi left it back in his room! Tobi will be right back, so don't leave, Orochimaru-senpai!" Before he even finished with his sentence, the orange masked man had already left the Medic-Bay, his arms flailing all around him nearly bumping into Kakuzu who was passing by.

Orochimaru glared into the hallway where the annoyance had just left, and gritted his teeth. Damn it all, he thought, and I thought Hidan and Kisame were bad.
