Chapter 10
Masago had been travelling with Tobi for the last two days, needless to say that was enough Tobi for a life time.
"Masago-chan Masago-chan! We're here we're here!" Tobi chanted mindlessly.
She sighed inwardly, and looked out into the deserts of Suna. "Zetsu." She spoke.
Zetsu merged in front of her almost immediately.
"They're further north than planned, in the forest." Black Zetsu spoke whilst nodding his head in the direction of the forest.
"Anything we should know about?" Masago asked, half heartedly wondering about her blonde friends safety.
"Sasori-san has been defeated." White Zetsu spoke quietly.
Masago averted her eyes to the floor.
"We need to go get his ring as conformation and also find Deidara. I am aware of his status."
"Right! Lets go Mr Zetsu! Come on Masago-chan!" Tobi shouted whilst running off into the direction of the forest.
However annoying the man-boy thing could be Masago just kept quiet and silently ran after Tobi. She believed Deidara to be dead, being Sasori's underling he wasn't as strong as him, and if Sasori was dead the chances of Deidara being alive where slim.
They where running until they got to the forest, and met Zetsu once again, apparently the fight was over, and Sasori's body was by the lake.
Masago was now standing where Sasori's final battle had taken place, it was a mess, the place had totally been destroyed.
"Eeeh! That's Sasori's true form?" Tobi said from beside her.
She looked up to a boy who looked to be just in his teens, she was amazed by Sasori's craft.
"Find the ring Tobi." Black Zetsu spoke as he joined you.
Tobi then which muttered a yes sir and ran off in search, this would probably take time.
Zetsu then spoke. "There is no sign of Deidara.".
"I'll go search the area. Find me when you're done here." Masago said as she jumped out of the cove.
She walked for what seemed like hours, until finally she came across land that looked blown up. From there she studied where the haggard land started and stopped. It was going to be a gamble to which direction she went in, as there where two possible directions Deidara could of gone in, the other direction would be the path of the enemy. She found out a little later she had chosen the wrong path.
"Masago-chan!" A female voice exclaimed.
Masago thought only for a few seconds, she knew this voice, it was her old friend Tenten from Konohagakure.
"Stay back Tenten! She is the enemy." A emotionless Neji Hyuuga spoke from her side.
Masago smiled.
"What are you so happy about!" A green flash, and a screaming Lee appeared, sweeping a kick aimed at Masago's head, which she easily dodged.
"Tell your friend to come out of hiding." Gai said as he also appeared next to Lee.
Friend, she really didn't know what he was on about. But she soon found out when an armless blonde appeared in front of her with just a kunai in his mouth to protect him.
But before she could say anything the fight broke out, and it was tricky. Masago had to constantly keep her eye on Deidara, he is a good fighter but being armless meant he was basically useless. Until they got secluded.
"Are you a clone, un?" He spoke fast.
Masago nodded in return, because before when she had to chose which way to go, her real self went off in the wrong direction, her clone however came this way.
"I am going to make a clay clone, I bit some clay from my bird before, yeah, it will blow us up and get my real self away. Where are you un?" Deidara asked.
"North."
Masago then was back north, Deidara must of blown himself up taking her clone with him. Something then caught her eye, it was bloody, she reached down and picked the object up, which she then realised was Deidara's arm!
Masago laughed, she laughed hard.
A hour later she could hear Tobi shouting about finding Deidara's arms.
"Is this what you're looking for?" Masago said whilst coming into view, smirk plastered onto her face.
"Ohhh! Masago-chan has Deidara-senpai's arm!" Tobi shouted too enthusiastic "ohh! Look Zetsu-san here is his other arm! He is most likely dead from explosion! Did you see his body anywhere Masago-chan?" Tobi laughed.
"Get your hands off, bastard." Deidara said whilst panting.
"Oh he's alive he's alive!" Tobi exclaimed.
"What happened to the Jinchuriki?" Zetsu scorned.
"I've met my quota." Deidara muttered back.
"Oh my dear Deidara you barely made it! Are you okay... Guess not!" Tobi taunted.
Deidara's face dropped.
'Oh here we go...' Masago thought.
"Tobi, even the patience of saints has its limits. Try saying something like that again and I will kill you myself, hm." Deidara started.
Tobi put his arms up in the air. "Eh! No doubt it will be death from explosion! What do you think Masago-chan?"
Zetsu stepped forward. "That's... past the limit..."
The scene that unfolded before Masago's eyes was confusing, she didn't know whether to be shocked or laugh. Deidara had wrapped his legs around Tobi's neck and muttered, "Death by suffocation."
"Right, stop that now, we need to get back otherwise you're going to be armless and useless." Masago spoke up. "Zetsu can you take him back to the base? Kakuzu will need to sew these back on to save them within the hour..."
"Right. You'll travel back with Tobi?" Zetsu asked.
She inwardly cursed. "Yeah."
"Oh right! Masago-chan! Lets go! Who can make it back first? Lets race!" Tobi shouted whilst running off into the forest.
Masago looked at Deidara. "You owe me." She said as she threw his arm to Zetsu, and took off after Tobi.
Again Masago was alone with the hyperactive brat. They where camping over night in the open forest as a inn was impossible to find, and Deidara wasn't here to build a clay house.
"So so so, you're an Uchiha Masago-chan?" Tobi started.
"Not really Tobi." She replied.
"But you have the sharingan right!"
"Yeah."
"Let me see your sharingan!" He asked.
She frowned. "Why?"
"I just wanted to see is all!"
"...Alright." Masago said as she activated her sharingan, as to what happened next she wouldn't know, she hit the ground, out cold.
She woke up the next morning with Tobi peering over her.
"Whoa! Tobi, what happened!" She exclaimed.
"Masago-chan fainted! Masago-chan must off been too exhausted to show Tobi her sharingan! Tobi is sorry!" Tobi started frantically.
"It's alright Tobi. I feel okay now. Lets just get back to the base."
"Zetsu-san is here for you! I will go back myself!" Tobi chanted as Zetsu appeared.
"Are you okay?" He asked her.
"Yeah."
"Right lets go then. Tobi, I trust you can get back okay." Zetsu addressed Tobi.
"Yes Zetsu-san!" Tobi said as he shot off into the distance.
"Lets go back" Zetsu said as he held out his arm.
Masago stepped into his chest area and Zetsu wrapped his arms around her and then merged into the ground.
They where now both standing in the main meeting room.
"Leader wishes to speak to us." Zetsu said as he started walking to Pain's room.
Masago silently followed and found herself standing in Leaders office yet again.
"You both did very well. This was a successful partnership." Leader spoke. "I take that there where no problems and you learned a lot along the way?"
"Yes sir." Masago answered.
"You'll be at the base for a while now, learning from Itachi, Zetsu will be going alone for a while now."
"Okay." She nodded her head.
"Very well... Rest now. Dismissed." Leader ended the meeting.
Zetsu stayed behind as Masago left the room. Her next mission was to find Deidara...
