Thank you HinataYami, princessbinas, Writing-OnMy-HeartStrings, and TheGirlWithNoIQ for reviewing!
I honestly was about to mark this as completed because this is the amount of chapters it had when it was posted on my old page; however, I still have a few more characters I want to annoy!
Zetsu
Try to help with his garden
"Are you sure Zetsu-San needs help with his plants?"
A wicked smile worked its way across the Explosionist's lips. "Of course! Zetsu's garden has to be weeded, but he doesn't always have time to do it. Even you know the difference between weeds and plants right?"
The man in the orange spiraled mask scratched the top of his head. "Um, of course Tobi knows! But Zetsu-san has told me before he would eat me if he caught me in his garden." Tobi covered his ears and shook his head. "I don't want to be eaten Deidara-senpai!"
The silly male was clocked across his head by the blonde. "Stop being so noisy! Zetsu only likes to eat people that are already dead anyway so you'll be fine."
Tobi rubbed the top of his head, mumbling how Deidara was so violent. Well, if Zetsu needed assistance in with his plants, Tobi would be happy to help him! He would even water and fertilize them for him. It would make Zetsu so happy. Maybe they could even be friends. It was kind of weird how the dual colored man talked to himself in two different voices.
"Okay, bye Deidara-senpai!" Tobi called over his shoulder before rushing towards Zetsu's greenhouse.
Deidara couldn't take it anymore. He broke out not laughter, tilting his head back and holding his stomach. That would teach that little brat to mess with his clay. The mouths in his hands were shooting what looked like firecrackers for a week.
Deidara stopped laughing for a moment and surveyed the lust green forest around him. A thought had come to him: could this backfire in any way? For some reason, he had the worst of luck when it came to Tobi and his antics. For a moment, Deidara felt himself getting nervous. He chuckled to himself and ran a hand through his silky blonde tresses.
"No way, everything should go perfectly."
Just to be safe, Deidara decided to watch his plan play out from the top of the Akatsuki hideout. No harm in taking precautions right?
Tobi was almost to the giant greenhouse and was feeling pretty good about himself. He had been so helpful to the other members lately like getting Deidara-senpai Moon Sand. Tobi knew that his senpai was pretending to be angry because he was so happy with his gift and didn't want to show it. That was alright with Tobi because he knew the truth deep down.
Now it was time to help Zetsu-san. The masked man honestly was a little scared to get close to the see through building. He had gotten to sneak a peek inside once and he was pretty sure he saw vines slithering along the floor by themselves. That had earned screaming and running from Tobi and a scolding from Zetsu. The plant Nin never answered Tobi on whether what he saw had been real or not so maybe it had only been his imagination.
Tobi grew more and more nervous the closer he got to the greenhouse. His heart was racing, he was tip-toeing slowly forward, and he had his Akatsuki robe in each hand to prevent from tripping over it. Finally reaching the door, the terrified male looked up at its looming presence. It was enough to make him attempt to turn and run once more.
No! Tobi thought strongly. I have to do this for Zetsu-san!
With a little more confidence, Tobi swallowed thickly and pushed the heavy door open. Surprisingly, the green house was well lit. It was extremely humid inside and different foliage lined every place in the building. Tobi was also surprised to see that Zetsu had all his plants labeled. He would have thought everything would be growing into one monster plant that only Zetsu would be able to distinguish which one was which.
As Tobi continued to look around, he was even more intrigued at the fact that Zetsu also grew vegetables. That's where he could help pull weeds! Tobi whirled around, looking for gardening tools and found some over in a far corner next to plants labeled, "poisonous". The masked male made very sure not to touch them although he really wanted the pretty purple ones. He had to keep reminding himself that those plants were bad in order to keep his straying mind focused. But they were so pretty...
Shaking his head vigorously, Tobi grabbed a pair of worn out gloves and put them on and grabbed a little watering can. Moving back over to the vegetable patch, he began pulling out the weeds. At least he hoped they were weeds. They didn't look like vegetables so they had to be right? He even began whistling a little tune while he worked and after who knows how long, Tobi wiped what little bit of his forehead was exposed with his wrist and examined his handy work.
"That looks way better!" Tobi exclaimed. He picked up the little watering can by his foot and began to pour it over the plants. "Here's some water for you, and some for you!"
He continued to say the little phrase for every plant he watered, which happened to be quite a few. It had taken about an hour, but Zetsu-san's plants looked much better. Tobi was proud of himself. Now he just had to get out of there before the Plant ninja returned. Tobi didn't know why, but he was still deathly afraid that Zetsu actually didn't want anyone to mess with his garden.
Tobi picked up the weeds he had pulled after putting back the gloves and watering can. He placed a bag a fertilizer he had found back in its place. He had just reached the door when a noise sounded behind him. He froze in his spot, arms still full of weeds and one foot off the ground. Could it be that moving vine he'd seen last time?! He could already see the large appendage curling around him like an anaconda and squeezing the life out of him. What was he going to do?!
"Oh dear. What are you doing in here Tobi?"
Tobi threw the weeds up in the air out of fear. "I'm sorry vine-san! I just was trying to help Zetsu-san with his greenhouse because Deidara-senpai said he needed help. I didn't think Zetsu-san would want help because he told me before he would eat me if I went in here, but Deidara-senpai says he only eats dead bodies so I-"
"I am Zetsu. Just what are you going on about?"
The frightened male turned around to see Zetsu standing behind him. He breathed a sigh of relief. It looked like his presence had scared off that evil vine. Tobi watched as Zetsu looked around his greenhouse.
"Did you do this?"
Tobi nodded his head furiously. "Deidara-senpai said you needed help so Tobi did his best to make your plants nice!"
"Did he now?"
Zetsu knew exactly what that little blonde annoyance was up to. He was hoping that Zetsu would get angry and attack Tobi for being in his garden. Everyone knew to stay out of Zetsu's plants. Still, Tobi had done quite a nice job fixing it up for him. He had gotten a little behind on his timeliness due to missions. Maybe he would take it easy on Tobi since he clearly didn't know any better, but Deidara? No, he would pay for what he did.
"Thank you for your help, but if I catch you in here again, I will eat you."
Tobi gulped thickly and immediately began picking up the weeds he dropped, promising all the while that he would never come into the greenhouse again. Just as Tobi was about to leave, Zetsu stopped him.
"Give this to Deidara for being kind enough to send you for assistance."
Tobi looked at the purple blooms on the flower Zetsu handed him. Wasn't this the same plant that was in the section marked "poisonous"? No, Zetsu-san wouldn't give him a poisonous flower. He was just happy that his garden was looking well again.
"Be careful not to touch the spores. This is Deidara's favorite flower so just hand it to him as a gift."
That was so nice of Zetsu to give Deidara one of his plants! Tobi quickly thanked him and ran off to find his senpai.
Deidara had gotten bored after about ten minutes of watching Tobi in Zetsu's garden. He had hoped that the lone Akatsuki member would have found him sooner than what he did. There was no sounds of Tobi's screams so maybe his plan did back fire. That irritated him to no end. How did that little brat always avoid trouble and manage to pull him into it?
Just that moment, Tobi found him leaning against a tree. He had a flower in his hand and seemed very excited from how he was bouncing eagerly from foot to foot.
"What's that?" Deidara questioned.
"It's for you!" Tobi tossed it to Deidara, who in turn caught it. "Zetsu told Tobi it's your favorite flower. He says thanks for sending me to help him!"
With that, Tobi vanished as soon as he'd arrived. A single blue orb gazed down at the plant in his hand. Something wasn't right. There was an itch that was becoming unbearable radiating from his hand and up his arm. Deidara quickly tossed the plant to the ground, but it was too late. Splotches were starting to form on his arm. Whatever this plant was, Deidara was clearly allergic to it. Zetsu had to have known that and purposely sent Tobi with the plant as pay back for sending him into his greenhouse.
"Damn you Tobi!"
Moral of the story: don't mess with Zetsu's greenhouse!
