It"s been a few months since we left Konoha. I used my system map to track down Tobi. Itachi knew better than to ask me how I knew where he was. After all, the guy was currently standing right in front of us.It seems like my appearance in this world has changed canon quite a bit. Especially with all my high-profile moves, like letting a twelve-tailed fox ride around on my shoulders. But Tobi was the same as in the anime, acting like a little kid.
Aiyo~ but when he actually did his little act... pffft! haha..ha—WAHAHAHA!
Yep~ I couldn"t hold it in. I mean, he"s a grown man, right? Right??? Ah, he"s sinking into the ground.
Arara~ trying to attack this queen, are we? Two can play at that game...
Besides, his Kamui"s materialization trick won"t work on me. Since this queen has a Primordial Chaos Body, and Chaos is literally everywhere, I can reach through dimensions! I wish I could see the look on his face when he realizes that his signature move is nothing in front of me... how regrettable.
And even if he was in his personal Kamui dimension, I"d still be able to pull him out.
Itachi did nothing and even pretended not to care. Good boy~ just stand in a corner and watch. Maybe you"ll learn something...
Well, his nonchalant att.i.tude did make our little show more believable.
Just as I finished thrashing Tobi around, the aloe plant showed up and took the bait. He invited me and Itachi to join the Akatsuki. Of course we played along, following him back to their base without a care in the world.
That purple snake pedo was there, along with the guy with a kami-complex, the five-hearts zombie, the insane Jashin fanatic, the puppet-obsessed sandcastle kid, the exploding clay-eater, and the creepy landshark. And Konan. I have nothing against Konan.
Well, in other words, everybody from Akatsuki was there.
I guess they were about to start their tailed beast plan or something. Perfect timing~
We went though the motions to join their organization, with Itachi using a kunai to strike a line through his leaf headband as heart-wrenchingly as possible. Ah, yeah we went through some acting techniques before we got here.
When they asked where my headband was, I replied with, "I didn"t graduate from the academy."
They probably thought I was a grown-up loli.
Sasori asked "Then of what use are you to us?"
Hmm, is that a challenge?
I grinned sinisterly. "Multipurpose. I can do anything ya"ll can do, but better. For more information, please call the H*rsh*y company at 1(234)567-****!"
They confused... they soooo confused. Yosh! That means I win!
Aaaaand then they realized what I said before that.
"Anything... but better."
*glare*
*glare*
*glare*
*glare*
...etc.
"Let me turn her into a puppet..." -Sasori
"No! She will be a sacrifice for Jashin-sama! KAKAKAKAKA!..." -Hidan
Gross. Is this guy possessed?
Then Nagato said, "If she is not lying, she will be a valuable a.s.set."
Everyone discontentedly shut up.
Well thanks Nagato, but I still have plenty of CP from doing random missions. Which means I have a lot of life-saving trump cards.
I guess Sa.s.snugget understood the reality of the situation; that I"d need CP in order to protect myself from these weirdos. I ended up unlocking hidden missions left, right, and upside down on the way here. Whether it was killing a boss-level chakra beast, doing sit-ups, or even just sitting still for a certain amount of time. Sa.s.snugget came up with all kinds of excuses and reasons to allow me to earn CP. Thanks, Sa.s.snugget~
So, I went on a system store shopping spree.
Of course, I didn"t stop cultivating either. After a month, I"m plenty powerful enough to protect myself. And Itachi, too. Can"t let him kick the bucket before he and Sasuke reunite.
Oh, right! Here"s my current status!

Hehe~ OP, right?
My body"s birthday was apparently a week ago, so yeah, I turned eight.
After Orochimaru"s failed attempt at stealing Itachi"s body, the snake was kicked out of Akatsuki, and everyone else formed two-man teams. Kakuzu and Hidan, Sasori and Deidara, Itachi and Kisame, Nagato and Konan, and me and Tobi. Of course, Zetsu was his own two-man team. Plus, I doubt he"d let himself get paired up with anyone else, since he has a hidden agenda.
I wanted to protest when I was paired with the former Obito Uchiha, but then I thought this might actually be a good thing. Yep~ this was my chance to bring Obito back over to the dark si— ptui! Wrong, I meant pull him back to the good side. D*mn, even after correcting myself I still sound like a certain Skyw*lker. Wrong story.
Come to think of it, didn"t Tobi join Akatsuki after Sasori died in the Ichibi mission?
"Hmm... I seem to have altered canon more than I thought," I mumbled.
"No, that wasn"t you."
Hm? Author-san?
(A/N: Nope. Wasn"t me.)
"....."
Must"ve been my imagination.
(A/N: Still not me.)
On the way to Konoha for the Kyuubi mission, which seems to have been pushed up to A LOT EARLIER, I bombarded Tobi with questions.
"So, Tobi..."
"What"s the deal with your mask? Why did you join Akatsuki? Did you have a rough childhood? Have you ever considered therapy? Do you like chocolate? What about anime? Are you chuuni? Is that why you wear a mask? What"s behind your mask? Ne? Ne? Neeee???"
Oooh, he"s angry. Either that or he suddenly got Parkinson"s. Well, he knows he can"t beat me. Maybe he"s just frustrated. Yosh! Don"t worry, Tobi. I won"t tell anyone about your little crying fit. Mm, mm! *nods seriously*
~Tobi POV~
Sh*t, what should I do? This little girl has the face of an angel... but she"s SO F*CKING SCARY!!!
I hope she doesn"t notice my shaking— *shudders* What"s with that frightening glare she"s giving me?!?!
~POV end~
*Jiiiiiiiiiiii* I stared. Oiii~ say something!
"Tobi?"
"HAI! Cause I think it"s cool! Cause of the cool uniform! Yes! Yes! I don"t know! I don"t know! What is that!? Cause I think it"s cool! My face!"
"....."
Did he just answer everything in one go...?
Well, that"s pretty much how the trip went. After that I got bored, so I summoned Onyx the Void Dragon and dragged an unconscious Tobi up and sat on Onyx"s back. Oh right, despite his name, Onyx is an Eastern dragon. The kind with five claws, whiskers, a long serpentine body, and no wings.
Also, he could fly.
We flew leisurely towards Konoha and when we got close enough, which was around 5 minutes later, I let Onyx go back to my summon realm and walked the rest of the way.
Tobi was still unconscious, so I had to drag him like a sack of potatoes. Ahh~ how nostalgic.
He finally woke up just before we reached Konoha. We didn"t enter the village yet, since I still had something to say to Obito.
I put up a MAX-level barrier and started to talk.
"Sit down. I need to ask you something."
He plopped down on the ground and lowered his head. Good boy~
"Alright, let"s start with... do you know Madara Uchiha?"
...Silence. He hesitated.
"I"ll take that as a yes. Now just to double check, what did he tell you?"
I didn"t have a clue if canon could still apply to this world anymore. This was a good chance to find out.
"...H-he said that my mission is to be a double agent in the Akatsuki until..."
I glared, "Until what?"
"...until his highness Emperor Shiro appears."
"....."
Just as I thought. Canon has been sc.r.a.pped. Looks like I"m on my own now. Any previous knowledge would be useless.
But who is this Emperor Shiro??
I shook my head and sighed. I"ll probably find out sooner or later, but for now, I have to focus on what to do next.
Removing the genjutsu on my eyes, I revealed my Rinne-Sharingan and asked Tobi one last question.
"Which side are you on, peace or war?"
He looked up and said, "Peace... without illusions."
I nodded. Looks like he"s not beyond saving.
"Alright, Obito Uchiha, don"t deny it cause I know it"s you. I need you to take me to Madara, since it seems he"s still alive. He and I need to have a little chat."
Obito seems to have figured out that I"m an ally, because this time he didn"t hesitate. He kamui-ed me to where Madara was hiding and followed shortly afterwards.
Oh, I left the barrier up just in case. It doesn"t lock s.p.a.ce, so we can just Kamui back when I"m done talking with old man Madara.
After seeing Madara"s current state, I was actually quite surprised. He wasn"t laying down all sickly and dying. Instead, he was at full health. And it seems he acquired the rinnegan.
"YO, Madara!"
*SHAA*
Another kunai?! Why does this feel so d*mn familiar?!?!
He looked at me warily, no doubt wondering how I was able to sneak up on him. Then he saw Obito.
"Oh? Well well, if it isn"t little Obito! Who"s your cute friend?"
...He definitely wasn"t like this in the anime. If I remember correctly, he was a battle maniac who was always saying sarcastic sh*t like, "Let"s dance!"
Actually, on second thought, he doesn"t seem to have changed all that much.
But his healthy condition is still a good reason to a.s.sume that the world is different from the series.
"My name is Xin Yue, I"m here to talk about this Emperor Shiro."
Madara paused before saying, "...Shiro Ōtsutsuki, the Emperor of the Ōtsutsuki clan. His little sister Kaguya Ōtsutsuki is the princess of the branch clan. She apparently committed a crime against the clan, and when n.o.body stood up for her, she was banished from the clan and forced into exile. She swore to get her revenge and return one day with an army. But her plans went wrong when her sons learned of her crimes and turned on her. She was sealed away, and you know the rest. Zetsu is still trying to carry out her will, and the d*mned son-of-b*tch tried to manipulate me as well."
I think I got it now. I asked, "...How do you know all this?"
"Ah, right. While I was playing possum, Emperor Shiro put me into a dream-like genjutsu. He"s the one who explained everything and showed me what happened. He tasked me with keeping an eye on Zetsu. Also—"
He abruptly stopped. Also... also, what??
"WWWWHAT??? Whaddya mean, I can"t tell her?!?! Isn"t she *mmmfhfmfhfm*?!?!"
Why is he screaming at the ceiling? And what was that last m.u.f.fled bit?? Get a grip, porcupine! I don"t need ya going all looneybin on meh!!
I sweatdropped. "Uhhh... "scuse me but, what was that?"
"...Sorry, I can"t tell you."
"....."
—————
*Somewhere... in a galaxy far, fa— nope, jk*
"Phew, that was close." A certain Emperor sweatdropped.
"What"s wrong, Shiro? Having trouble with the Uchiha kid?"
"Ehehehe... something along those lines," he replied to his friend embarra.s.sedly.
"Oh, don"t worry about it. He"s probably just not used to being ordered around. Apparently, he"s very infamous in that world. I hear he"s got battle mania issues."
"Oh? Is that so? No wonder..."
"Ne, ne! Ya wanna know what his catchphrase is?Do ya??"
"???"
"I am Madara Uchiha! Let"s dance!"
"....."
