Blackcatgurl for an Unrelated fav.
Start!
The crickets chirped serenely as twilight wavered on, everything would seem normal to an average person, but any ninja would have noticed that the underground prison was strangely void of life above the ground.
Not a single ANBU stood at a post. There weren't any sloshing footsteps, or laughing or snoring.
It was completely quiet.
Until the echoed ringing of a high pitched whine and cracking shook the ground.
Within the prison smoke filled the halls and a single ANBU with a broken mask scrambled through the haze barely managing to smack a red button on the far wall near the containment cells before a kunai wedged itself into his neck.
As he dropped to the ground and the smoke began to clear, Madara's figure appeared and loomed over the body, his red eye narrowed.
"I'm here for Deidara," He said, "And I'm not leaving until I find him,"
He bent over, grasping the ANBU's belt and ripping it off,"I'll be taking these," he said unlatching and twirling a key ring around his finger.
He didn't need them. It was just in case his arms decided to stop working. Like his leg had when he jumped out of the tree while launching his attack.
"Deidara!," he called taking off down the corridor in the opposite direction from which he entered. Passing rows upon rows of cells.
"Deidara!,"
Coming to a fork, he had to stop. Left or right? Highly dangerous criminal would probably be kept away from the others, he'd probably have his own cell.
Well if that wasn't a completely useless thought.
In the cell behind the Uchiha, the lucky prisoner -that had managed to not have his cell crushed by the exploding paper tag- inhabiting it watched in interest as Madara thought over which way he should go.
If he went the wrong direction it might take hours to realize it, Kami knows how many times the halls branch out into different halls, that branch out themselves.
This place was probably like one giant labyrinth.
"Hey buddy, you lookin' for somebody?," The prisoner finally spoke up.
Madara looked at him out of the corner of his eye, "No I've been yelling for the sake of bringing joy to you all," the sarcasm, the terrible word play, there was only one thing that could and would do something like that.
"What the hell was that?~!," He inwardly hissed, the feeling of doom washing over him.
The voice LEFT! it was gone, gone like dry dirt wherever Madara went.
'A warm up and do you really think I'd leave you alone for good?,' The voice asked snarkily.
"I was hoping!,"
"Don't get snippy asshole, I can help you," The prisoner said glaring at the raven, his golden eyes cold.
"Exactly why should I listen to you?," Madara grumbled things under his breath, he liked it better when his subconscious was just a thoughtless nonexistent life form that helped him plan things and breath, this talking version is SUCH a drag.
"Well i don't see any back up, so it looks like I'm all you've got," The prisoner said, enunciating every word.
True enough.
"All you gotta do is open my cell,"
Madara thought it over, honestly the guy didn't look all that trustworthy, the parts of him he could see through the small barred window anyway, but still it was worth a shot,"Fine," The man grinned broadly, "But you tell me first," his grin was replaced by a scowl.
"No way, you could leave me in here to rot for all I know," he said, crossing his arms stubbornly.
The two stared each other down through the bars, finally the blue haired man sighed, "We do it at the same time," he reasoned with a wag of his finger.
Madara shrugged, good enough for him. He quickly sorted through the keys to find the one that belonged to that cell, all of them where numbered, making it a lot easier to do so.
When he was ready he put the key into the first lock of the double drop tumbler set (Fancy name for a mechanical lock :D) and looked to the prisoner expectantly.
"Go down the right hall and keep going strait until you reach a door," the blue haired man said, watching Madara turn the key slowly with every word he spoke,"You go through," he and the ninja both paused, the inmate's frown deepened, "And head down that hall, the door is practically hidden in the dark so you'll have to feel around for it," He smirked as the key continued to turn,"A couple days ago the guards brought in a kid, had long blond hair, I'm pretty sure they tossed him in the Hole, I don't know how long it will take to get there since I haven't been down there myself," That was hardly believable, "But it probably won't take long, maybe half an hour if you don't get lost,"
Finally the first lock clicked as it was released and the stainless steel bars connecting it to the stone door frame retracted, "What did his face look like? His eyes?," Madara asked, shoving the other key into the second lock.
"His hair was in the way, sorry man," The Uchiha blew out roughly through his nose and began to turn the key quicker then he did last time, it clicked before the prisoner even managed to speak, but he wasn't going to let him out just yet so he jammed his foot up against the door keeping in place.
The Inmate pushed and rattled the heavy door,"I did happen to overhear the guard talking about what got him thrown in here, seems like he's quite the little pyromaniac, I don't wanna be a snitch, but I heard the guard beat the kid so bad he had to go to the infirmary, didn't see it myself though, probably just a rumor,"
None to pleased with the mans final statement Madara stepped back from the door, pulling it open by the barred window.
The blue haired man ran out the cell only managing to toss a few words over his shoulder, as he leaped through the massive hole at the end of the hall to his freedom. (Free as a bird dude)
"LATER MAN!," his voice echoed.
Right then, back to the task at hand.
'Yeah later!,' The voice called inside Madara's head, well it wasn't talking for him anymore, 'Ah he was nice, I hope we see him again, don't Maddie?,'
Nerves pulling, straining. Madara turned away from the cell and started down the halls, trying to hurry before he forgot the way.
"Yeah sure whatever, let's just go find Dei and get out,"
'Hey you're finally taking my advice! and here I thought you were ignoring me like the people reading this,' the voice laughed as Madara opened the first door.
"I've listened to you since you showed up, it's your own fault for not having anything productive to say,"
'Not produc- Yeah like that time you bought 500 ryo worth of Inarizushi,'
The candles on the walls were starting to become fewer and fewer, making the corridor more and more dim the further he walked.
"Your point?,"
'You stole the money from Kakuzu, destroyed half the base when he started chasing you and ended up with a bad case of poison ivy, in a place no one wants it, because you had to eat in a bush, In what way is any of that productive?,'
Fabric of dark gloves met stone as the Elder put a hand on the wall to help lead him through the almost pitch black space, "I thought it was really productive at the time, you can't plan full scale world domination on an empty stomach," he thought humorously.
He stopped when his hand grazed a firm handle shape.
'Seriously though, just a cart full of inarizushi? How did you not get diabetes, eating all of that had to have raised your blood sugar,'
"I almost passed out,", Madara thought back with a chuckle, pulling on the handle.
'That is not a good thing, I hope you know that,'
The wall slowly cracked open letting out a little light into the dark abyss beyond the door.
Madara grunted, using his shoulder to shove the heavy obstacle out of his way and against the wall behind it.
He had expected another hallway, the door was so thick and it didn't have any holes or bars there was no reason for him to think it would lead directly to an almost completely blacked out cell, the only light sorce being a small half melted candle sitting in the wall behind a seal barrier.
He shifted his line of sight over to the right side of the room, to the makeshift stone ''bed'' where a blond haired figure lay facing the wall.
Madara grinned, the prisoner was right.
"Sempai!," he exclaimed excitedly in his Tobi voice.
"..." The man slowly turned over, "Who are you?," he asked in a gasp of surprise, slowly sitting up. As Madara stared he pushed his golden hair behind his ear, out of his muddy brown eyes and away from his blood stained face, making it cascade down his back and fall over the edge of the bed.
The Uchiha clenched his fists angrily down by his sides, "Who are you," he repeated.
Taking it as an actual question the man answered him, "I'm Nagi,"
'Should have seen this coming,'
Flashback
Tobi ran a hand through his hair as minutes turned into hours and hours turned into even more hours, sitting in the dark, cold forest waiting for the group of ANBU that just appeared out of nowhere when they were returning to the forest house, to leave.
Hours...It felt like hours anyway. Hell it felt they'd been sitting there for days. Maybe that was just Madara's gurgling stomach that made it feel like he'd been out there for so long. He was starving and so was Deidara, but they couldn't even cook their fish because of the stupid ANBU.
Pft, who the hell can see smoke at NIGHT. It were times like these that made Madara hate himself for even coming up with the idea for ANBU. They were nothing but nuisances now.
slick, black cloaked, silent killing nuisances. Like Spiders. Madara hated spiders.
As the masked ninja inwardly ranted Deidara was off in the corner, trying to resist the urge to shiver, simply tugging his cloak tighter around himself instead, he blew into his hands to ward off the numbness from the cold before tugging them into his sleeves.
The blond snapped his fingers catching Tobi's huffy attention, he motioned up to the trees with his head and nodded, Tobi shook his head as he plopped down next to the iwa soundlessly.
Deidara rolled his eyes "How long have we been sitting here?'' he mouthed.
The masked ninja shrugged, hell if he knew, it felt like they'd been out there forever.
The limbs creaked again before there was nothing but the sound of the wind and the two S-class criminals breathing.
Deidara snorted, those stupid ANBU weren't fooling anybody, he knew they were still there. They'd just gone into stealth mode.
with a yawn his eyes drooped and shifted over closer to Tobi, pressing his body against the raven's side.
"Night dipshit," he whispered.
Beneath his mask Madara blushed and looked away. Stupid kid.

"How could I have miscalculated?," Madara grumbled to himself, resting his hands in his hands as he sat on the ''bed'' next to Nagi, who had pressed himself into the corner furthest away from the ninja.
His very presence scared the poor blond, it didn't help that he was talking to himself like a crazy person.
'You said it yourself you weren't one hundred percent sure Konoha captured him,' The voice pointed out.
"Yeah but-..."
'Listen, he isn't here but that doesn't mean this was a wasted trip, if an Akatsuki was captured it would be kind of a big deal,'
Madara paused in thought, "You think whatever base captured him sent word to the other bases,"
'Technically I don't think that, you do, but yes,'
Where would it be though? they wouldn't leave it IN the prison, that would be stupid.
'This about people that let the Little Rascal's guard highly dangerous criminals? Man am I glad I came back to help you,'
Madara chuckled lightly, 'Now I have a question,' his entire expression dropped into one of boredom as he shrugged, "I don't have a choice even if I say no so, go ahead," couldn't hurt anyway.
'Would you rather have a dog for a leg or a monkey for an arm?,'
It is a painful feeling, your IQ falling into the single digits.
(A/N: Monkey arm :D)

In a forest clearing a little farther away from the village than before where the forty inmates of the ANBU underground prison, grouped together under the moon after being freed.
Most of them stood and watched a man with blue shoulder length hair -pulled back into low hanging pony tail- climb onto a boulder so he could look down on them.
The rest, sat off on the side, were still chained or had stocks on their heads or wrists. The only life that could survive in the dark confines of the earth. Insects Konoha tried to squash before they swarmed.
"My friends, I like you, was betrayed by Konoha," Yoshi spoke, "The very place I had eagerly risked my life to protect. Like you I was sent to be punished, under the jurisdiction of hypocritical old bags of bone and flesh, not worthy of being called scum, let alone 'Wise Elders',"
"My friends, we are a clenched fist around the handle of a dagger, ready to strike down anyone who is stupid enough to try and oppose us with our might. After enduring twenty years of wallowing in the darkness and filth backwash of Konoha, for us a single siege will not do, we need a complete take over! One not even veteran shinobi have ever seen! We are but a single group of men, prisoners locked out of sight," The men scowled," But I believe a single one of us is equal to a thousand of their forces,"
"We represent all those that Konoha have thrown away, labeling them as traitors, deserters, rogues,It is time for them to wake, to see those of us they sent screaming to the pits of hell the ones they left to rot in the ground, to see what they have turned us into," Yoshi exclaimed in a growling voice making the other ex-prisoners cheered loudly,"Let's drag them out of their cozy little homes and remind them that the world beyond their grand wall is dark and putrid, remind them what it is like to live in fear,"
"Tonight we rest, tomorrow we exact our revenge. Men," He smirked evily, "Let's bring them hell,"
