It had taken three days to reach the border of the Fire Country. Everything had seemed fine until Tobi stopped and clutched at his head.
“Tobi, what’s wrong?” Zetsu asked, putting a hand on the boy’s shoulder. “Are you okay?”
“My head hurts!” Tobi cried. “It’s gonna explode!”
Zetsu frowned. He pulled Tobi into his hold. “Tobi’s head is not about to explode. Let us help.”
Zetsu gathered chakra into his hand. He lifted Tobi’s mask and held his palm against the boy’s forehead. Tobi had stopped crying, but he still seemed distressed.
“All better?” Zetsu asked.
Tobi nodded. He pulled his mask back down and buried his face into Zetsu’s chest. The elder wrapped his arms around Tobi, holding him tight.
‘Maybe it’s time to tell him about who we had encountered while the boy was passed out from the boulders…’ Shiroi thought. ‘No, it’s not time yet. Besides, he might just have had a migraine – perfectly normal. Doesn’t mean anything.’
“Yes, you’re right…”
“Zetsu-san?” Tobi’s voice brought Zetsu back to reality. “Who are you talking to?”
“Sorry, Tobi. We are just having a private conversation in our mind.” Zetsu ruffled Tobi’s hair gently, smiling at the boy.
“Oh! Tobi understand, Zetsu-san! Thank you for helping Tobi’s head!”
Tobi wrapped his arms around Zetsu’s waist, nuzzling into the man’s cloak. Zetsu hugged him back, resting his face in Tobi’s messy black hair.
“I think you should have a rest, Tobi.” Zetsu said. “You deserve one.”
Tobi nodded. He found himself a nice seat under a shady oak and closed his eyes. He knew that Zetsu would protect him.
Tobi didn’t remember much of his dream – something about boulders and a voice calling out to him, telling him things that he couldn’t understand. He remembered something about some sort of eye that was called a Sharingan, or something like that.
As the boy’s dream became more and more vivid, Tobi began whimpering and crying out in his sleep. He was awoken by Zetsu shaking his shoulder frantically, calling his name.
“It’s alright, Tobi, it’s all over – it was just a dream.” Zetsu had begun trying to console the frightened child. “Do you remember anything about your dream, Tobi?”
“Only… Only someone… Zetsu-san, what is a Sharingan?” Zetsu gasped and his eyes widened. “Zetsu-san, do you know something Tobi doesn’t know?”
Zetsu hesitated before nodding. He must have been conversing with himself mentally again because he didn’t answer for quite a while. “…Tobi… The Sharingan… You have it.”
“Tobi... has the Sharingan…? But… What is the Sharingan…?”
“It’s… a bloodline limit. We knew that you were an Uchiha when we found you, we just… Thought it was best to not tell you... Until you worked it out for yourself, of course.”
“So, Tobi’s… Zetsu-san, you…” Tobi frowned, unable to think of what to say.
“Do you remember anything else about your nightmare?”
Tobi thought long and hard about it. “…Tobi doesn’t remember anything else, Zetsu-san.”
“Okay. We’re almost finished our dinner, so you just lay down and rest some more. No more sleep until tonight, alright?”
“Alright, Zetsu-san.” With that, Tobi snuggled up against his friend and closed his eye, intent on getting some daydreaming done.
-XX-
Zetsu had long since finished his dinner, but he didn’t have the heart to wake Tobi back up – not when the boy was sleeping so peacefully and such a thing happened once in a blue moon.
Zetsu sat and thought about what had happened. He had been told that Tobi could never learn the truth until it was time, so maybe… Tobi had been informed in his dreams. Yes, that did seem possible.
Sitting down on a nearby rock, Zetsu watched the rise and fall of Tobi’s chest with a smile. The boy certainly was very innocent… so beautiful… No! He couldn’t think these thoughts about his subordinate! Tobi was too young!
Zetsu sighed and got to his feet. He walked over to Tobi before sitting beside him and pulling the boy into his lap. Tobi stirred as arms wrapped around him, but he didn’t wake. He closed his eyes and rested his chin on top of Tobi’s unruly hair, rubbing the boy’s back.
Zetsu had been asleep for a few hours before Tobi’s eye opened. He looked around. It was sunrise and he was in Zetsu’s lap. Hmm. He supposed that the elder must’ve gotten lonely again.
Tobi twisted around on Zetsu’s lap. He tugged on the man’s sleeve, gaining a groan and whisper of his name. He was confused. Was Zetsu awake and talking to him, or was he still sleeping and dreaming of him?
“Zetsu-san…” Tobi whispered. He tugged harder on the sleeve. “Wake up!”
“S-so… tight! Tobi!” Kuroi moaned. Zetsu tightened his hold on Tobi. “Don’t scream, Tobi…”
“Zetsu-san, wake up!” Tobi shouted. He didn't know why, but he had been unnerved by Zetsu’s words.
Zetsu’s eyes opened slowly. He blinked as he took in his surroundings.
“Good morning, Tobi.” Zetsu whispered. “God, you couldn’t have picked a worse time to wake us up, you little – Quiet! Ignore him, Tobi.”
“Zetsu-san was talking in his sleep.” Tobi explained. “He scared Tobi with what he said.”
‘Did we talk in our sleep?’ Zetsu thought to himself. ‘Must have. If the brat heard what he were saying when we fu – that’s enough of that language! The point in, we must have said something vulgar.’
“Tobi, we apologise for whatever we had said. It won’t happen again.” Zetsu stroked the black hair. “Now, go get ready, okay? We’re leaving again.”
Tobi cheered and wrapped his arms around Zetsu’s middle. “Tobi loves his Zetsu-san!”
“And we love you, too, Tobi. Got your scarf? Your pack?”
Tobi nodded happily. He was hyper as he went around and got ready for the day ahead of him.
“Let’s go!” Zetsu called over his shoulder fifteen minutes later as he began walking away from what had been their campsite. “We’ve still got a week until we get to the Sand!”
“Coming, Zetsu-san!” Tobi called happily as he chased after his mentor. “Tobi loves you, Zetsu-san!”
