I walked from inside the farmer's market with a bag of groceries in my hand. I glanced at the list of groceries that Pein had given me and realized I had forgotten the instant ramen that Deidara had requested. I looked back inside the market to see it had gotten insanely crowded, which meant Deidara would just have to deal without his ramen for now. As I started back for the Akatsuki base I started to feel as though I were being watched and maybe even followed. I quickened my pace so I entered the forest where if someone decided to attack me I would be away from other people. As the feeling of being watched became stronger I began running back to the Akatsuki base; hoping that if I get inside the feeling would be gone. As I approached the Akatsuki door I felt a sharp pain in my ankles and looked down to see my feet were stuck in the ground. Zetsu came from the ground in front of me and took the groceries from my hands. He sat them by the door as someone walked up behind me and grabbed me tightly.

I was about to scream when I felt the point of a kunai be pushed roughly into my throat. I whimpered and looked behind me to see the mask of none other than Tobi looking back at me. Zetsu released my feet from the ground and Tobi pulled me back into the forest. I struggled against him but he kneed me really hard in my lower back causing me to fall to the forest floor. Tobi ripped off his mask and looked at me with a sneer. He certainly wasn't the happy-go-lucky child like man we knew.

"Who are you?" He laughed and kicked me in the chest as I started to get up. I was knocked back into a tree where thorn covered vines wrapped around me tightly and held me captive against whoever the man behind the mask.

He mimicked his disguise, "I'm Tobi," his demeanor changed as he leaned down into my ear, "and I've been a very bad boy." The vines tightened more which made breathing very difficult and the thorn start cutting into my skin.

"Here's the deal wolf demon, you're going to betray the Akatsuki, and you're going to fight for me." I shook my head no, "I figured you'd say that."

Zetsu came from behind me and pulled me into the tree and down into secret tunnels that were underground. Tobi was pulled under next and I was dragged to what looked to be a lab or even a torture chamber. I was chained from the ceiling by my wrists and Tobi walked over to me. Zetsu formed vines that wrapped the length of my body as I watched Tobi remove a kunai from his pocket. He made three gashes across my chest quicker than I could even see and walked out of the dungeon. The vines continuously tightened my blood dripped down onto the floor making steady dripping sounds. The cuts on my chest began to heal as my body started trying to change into a wolf. The vines prevented my change and I started to feel really tired. That was when I realized that the vines were eating my chakra, then I fell asleep.

I yelped as Tobi kicked me awake. He dropped me down from the chains knowing I'd be too weak to even think about attacking him. How long had I been asleep? My body felt practically dead as I laid there weakly at Tobi's feet.

"Do you think your vines had enough time with that week?" Has it really been a week? And had enough time for what? I had so many questions run through my head as I lay there.

"Yes, they have absorbed enough chakra to make an army. What shall we do with him?"

"I'll wrap him in the chakra ropes and toss him in the river. He better hope they find him before it's too late, and Soku if you are found alive and you tell anyone of our plans, I will kill Itachi." I nodded weakly as I felt Tobi wrapping some kind of rope around me. I felt ourselves rising as Zetsu raised us back to the surface. When back on the surface Tobi picked me up and carried me to the river that was nearby. It was so cold outside I thought immediately I'd freeze to death before they could even find me. Tobi tossed me into the cold water and as my body made contact I cried out which made water fill my lungs. I looked towards the surface in time to see Tobi putting his mask back on and walking away. I closed my eyes and let the water lull me into sleep.
