Chapter 17: The Most Stupid Mistake Ever
Jiraiya woke up to a dog licking his face. He groaned, and pushed the face away. Opening one eye up, he saw a wolf cub standing there. It had dark brown fur and coal black eyes.
"Yoru. Come here. Don't lick him."
Yoru whined, but complied anyway.
Jiraiya looked to the doorway, and saw a fair skinned man with brown hair and blue eyes.
"Who're you?" the Sannin asked.
"Name's Tsukiyomi Uzumaki, Naruto's half brother," he stated. "I'm also the head medic shinobi of Ame, Akatsuki and San Rei. Tell me, how do you feel? Any headaches whilst laying down?"
"N-no," Jiraiya mumbled.
Tsukiyomi nodded. "Good."
"Um...where's Naruto?" he asked.
"Asleep," Tsukiyomi replied. "Before Tobi's incident with you, we came back from a restless, three day long mission. That moron hasn't slept for six days straight."
"Six?"
"Yup. He never moved from his spot for three days." He paused, pointing to the chair Jiraiya saw Naruto sitting in a few hours earlier. "Never once. He didn't even bother to get up to eat or sleep. He even skipped out on eating ramen because he was so worried."
Jiraiya felt relieved, shocked and worried all at once. I worried him that much...?
"Anyways..." Tsukiyomi mumbled, "I brought some food for you. If you can sit up, go ahead and eat. Don't push yourself." He brought in a bowl of steaming ramen, a small bag of fruits, and a cup of water. He pulled up a nightstand, and put the food on the table. "Yoru will keep you company. She seems to really like you."
Jiraiya nodded, slowly sitting up. "Thank you."
Tsukiyomi grinned in a foxy-like manner. "No problem. When you finish, you can do whatever you like, just don't enter any rooms without permission."
The brunette's only response was a curt nod, and with that, he left the Sannin.
"Tobi is bored!" Tobi whined.
"Really, now, I hadn't noticed," Naruto sarcastically shot back.
The two were in their giant living room, reading or playing some stupid game.
"This game is boring! Tobi doesn't like it!"
"That's because you're biting your nails," the blonde retorted.
"Tobi always plays this game," Tobi mumbled.
"Don't ignore me."
"Tobi is a good boy! Tobi would never ignore Naruto!"
"Of course..." Naruto murmured. "Wait! You ignored me a moment ago! You stupid moron!" He threw a bunch of books at the idiot, resulting in Tobi being smothered in books of all kinds.
"T-Tobi is sorry..." Tobi stuttered.
"Apology not excepted."
Tsukiyomi stepped in with a scowl. "Will you two quit it?"
"Tobi is a good boy!"
"I don't care," Tsukiyomi snapped. He sighed, joining Naruto on the couch. He glanced at him. "Thought you were asleep."
"I tried, but Kurama kept pestering me over and over again," the blind blonde explained. "I ended up meditating for five hours straight. Was kind of nice, though. Last time I meditated was three years ago."
"Seriously?" Tsukiyomi was slightly surprised at that. I actually thought you meditated on your free time... he silently added.
"Tobi's room is next door to mine. You can never get a moment of peace unless he's asleep," Naruto grumbled.
"Tobi is a good boy! Tobi would never do such reckless things!" Tobi whined.
"Really?!" both Uzumaki's shouted in unison.
Ban barked in amusement, jumping up onto the couch.
Tsukiyomi glanced at her. "I thought I told you to stay off of the couch."
She whined, jumping down.
Naruto sighed. "Anyways, I'm going to go train for a while."
"Can Tobi come?"
The blonde 'stared' at him, silently debating for a few moments. "...On one condition."
Tobi tipped his head.
"Don't act like a stupid mother fu—"
"Tobi is a good boy!"
"Shut up! I know!"
"Level one or two?" Naruto asked Tobi.
The two boys were in a training feild outside of Amegakure. It was a private ground reserved for the three branch members; a reward for gathering all information on the bijuu and their Jinchuuriki.
"Tobi thinks we should do level two!" Tobi chirped. "Besides, you suck at it. Tobi thinks we should improve it!"
Naruto 'glared'. "Thanks for the compliment."
"Tobi is glad that you like Tobi's compliment!"
The blonde sighed, pulling out Minato's three-pronged kunai he found while wandering in the Namikaze compound when he first became Genin. He grabbed all that he could find, and packed it up with him when he left Konoha.
"Okay, whatever. Just demonstrate it, will ya?" he snapped.
"'Kay!"
Tobi grabbed the three-pronged kunai from Naruto, aiming it at the lone oak tree that was a few meters in front of them. He threw it, and disappeared in a yellow flash. Not even a second later, he appeared a few inches in front of the tree, the three-pronged kunai hitting the tree a split second later.
Tobi turned to Naruto. "Did you catch that? Or does Tobi need to demonstrate again?"
Naruto shook his head. "No. I saw that."
Tobi nodded, and grabbed the three-pronged kunai; Naruto catching it as he threw it.
"'Kay! It's Naruto's turn!" Tobi chirped.
The blonde rolled his eyes, throwing the three-pronged kunai at the same tree. He concentrated, and the world around him slowed; then sped up.
Tobi watched as Naruto disappeared in a yellow flash...
...but he never reappeared.
Confused, the brunette looked around. "...Um...Naruto...?"
The first thing Naruto's eyes met was pitch black nothingness.
Oh, what a surprise. Nothing.
But this time, it was different; how? Well, he sensed no living organism's, he felt nothing around him, he was floating, and he couldn't breath.
Naruto started choked for air, coughing and wheezing once he realized there was no oxygen. His fists clenched in fear as he felt his entire body get slowly frozen over by a coat of ice.
What's going on...? he wondered.
Naruto! Minato cried.
I dunno, but where ever you are, there is no oxygen. Hold on, kit! Kurama barked.
I-I ca-can't breath... Naruto choked. He felt his eyelids droop, his heart slowing and his life slipping. Shi-it...
BTW I usually post on the weekend/friday, this is an exception.
After chapter 18, the final arc will commence!
I changed the title because after I planned this arc out, I thought that it didn't fit. So..ye...
Peace! :3
