So I was at work today and somebody bought a chicken.
As I scanned this chicken I came up with an ending to Operation: Kill Tobi!
Good ol' chickens.

Anyway: Thank you to everyone who has stuck by this story so far – I promise I won't drag the bloody thing out too much longer – you can all rest easy XD

I watched The Dark Knight because it was on TV before and I must say… Out of all the fictional characters in the world, the Joker has to be in my top 5.
Heath Ledger ftw!
Strayan he was!

Enjoy!

Tsunades frown hadn't yet eased off her face.
So dark was her scowl that Shizune had temporarily left her masters side in favor of cowering on the other side of the room.
The source of Tsunades discomfort stood before her in the form of the Leafs very own Root Division Sai and the Akatsukis Kisame Hoshigaki…
Both of which, whether it was normal or not, were currently blue.
Sai was prone to doing weird things.
But Tsunade never expected him to go so far as to paint himself the same color as his comrade…

Weirdo or not, who DOES that?

But then…
This WAS the social nutcase they talking about…

"Sai… Why do you look like Kisame?"

The raven haired boy looked up at the Hokage and blinked, unsure of the question.
OBVIOUSLY he had been painted blue… THAT'S why he looked like Kisame.
Surely the Hokage hadn't gone stupid in his absence?
Though he doubted it was impossible, considering the amount of sake she drank.
However, Sai had the feeling there was something more to this question and Tsunades dislike of the Akatsuki seemed to be a subtle clue.

"What is wrong with Kisame?"

Tsunades eyebrow twitched and she leaned forward in her seat, resting her elbows on the desk and cupping her face in her hands.
Sai KNEW that she didn't say anything was wrong with Kisame, at the moment he was just being a stupid brat with an I-know-how-to-read-between-the-lines-and-make-you-look-mean attitude.
Kisame for his part, looked slightly nervous that the young boy beside him had so easily pissed off the Hokage with just one sentence…
Jashin, Pein, Buddha and Cthulu knew what was coming next.

Whether it was because somewhere in Sais weird little head, he had decided that men must experience self esteem issues as well as females, or whether he just enjoyed pissing off the Hokage, his next sentence made everyone raise an eyebrow at him.

"I think Kisame is beautiful."

Tsunade blinked, then deciding to ignore the comment, turned to Kisame, who looked as though he was torn between hitting Sai or hugging him, and asked,

"Why are you both here?"

Hesitantly looking away from the blue boy beside him, Kisame explained the situation at the Kazekages offices, detailing Deidaras 'art' as an explanation for their 'colour' problem.
Safe to say, Tsunade wasn't happy.

"So… Gaaras office is now not only completely trashed because of Tobi, but also painted in all the colours of the rainbow due to your little mishap?"

Nervously scratching his nose, Kisame glanced briefly at Sai, getting what was probably supposed to be a reassuring smile before replying,

"Uhh… Actually it was Deidara that made the rainbow…"

Tsunade scowled at the man, further increasing his growing anxiety.
He knew how reputed the Hokage was for her strength and ability to punch someone through walls with a pinky.
Tailless tailed beast or not, Kisame didn't like being punched...
It hurt.
To make things worse, Sai then cheerily added,

"Oh, don't make it out to be entirely Deidaras fault, you could have stopped him."

Tsunade raised a brow under narrowed eyes at this and glared at Kisame threateningly.
Rounding on the boy angrily, the larger of the blue men, pointed at the smaller and growled,

"YOU were the one that suggested Deidara show Gaara his art in the first place."

Sai paused, finger to his lip in thought before smiling.
Not even appearing embarrassed about his mistake, the irritating boy replied,

"So I did. I forgot."

Tsunade rolled her eyes, her anger at Kisame fading slightly.
She probably should have realized that Sai would be at fault to some degree.
It pained her to think that in this instance, and probably many others, Sai was more troublesome to deal with than an Akatsuki member.
Turning away from the boy angrily and trying not to voice his irritation for the boy aloud lest it not go down well with the Hokage, Kisame growled under his breath,

"I'll kill you and no one will ever find your body…"

"What was that, Kisame?"

"Nothing, nothing…"

Naruto stood, wide eyed with shock at the person before him.
He opened his mouth several times to try and call someone for help.
Itachi would know what to do in this situation…
Because he sure as hell didn't.
As the dark haired male before him took a step closer, Naruto gasped,

"I-I…Ta…Ch-chi!"

The object of his fear smirked and Naruto closed his eyes in terror.
Oh yes… He needed Itachi.
For whatever was before him must have been cast from hell itself.

"Of all times for me to get lost, dattebayo…"

Naruto cursed under his breath as the distance between the two men closed a little more.
Raising his arms in defense, the blond boy tried to grin reassuringly at his 'friend' but succeeded in only producing a grimace.
What were you SUPPOSED to do in this situation anyway?
The mans arm twitched and Naruto lost his nerves, managing to scream out, "ITACHI!" before a leaf was thrown at his face.

Itachi cursed as he back tracked his steps with Orochimaru and Neji behind him.
Somehow, Naruto had managed to get lost along the way and as such, he needed to be found.
After all, there were dangerously annoying people about…
Take Hidan for example.
No one deserved the fate of being stuck alone with that horrible man.
Itachi vaguely wondered if after all this kerfuffle with Tobi was over, he could start Operation: Maim Hidan.
No one would ever be in danger again.
And it's not like they could kill Hidan… But maiming him sounded fun enough.
Anything to keep his probably-not-legally-adopted-foolish-little-brother out of harm.
But then again… This was Naruto they were talking about, chances are he was perfectly safe-

"ITACHI!"

Nevermind…
Who was he to deny the cries for help from his foolish little secretly adopted brother?
Neji and Orochimaru didn't need any asking, they too, seemed worried about the Hidden Leafs Number One Unpredictable Ninja…
But probably for different reasons, Nejis not involving experiments of the scientific or sexual kind because as they had discovered (much to the man in questions exasperation and face palms) Orochimaru was probably a sexual predator of some kind.
But back to Naruto.
Whatever trouble they expected him to be in, it certainly wasn't the kind in which they found him.
Itachi darted between trees in the direction of the boys voice until he came into a small clearing.
Lying on the ground at the far side was Naruto, who while looking dazed and confused, seemed to be fine.
Although how this was the case with the person who was currently standing over him being present was anyones guess.
Eyes wide in a rare display of disbelief and horror, Itachi growled,

"What are you doing here?!"

As if recognizing their presence for the first time, the man stood up straight and turned around to glare at the group.
Suddenly taking notice of what the man was wearing, Orochimaru screeched,

"And what the hell are you wearing!?"

True to his observation, the man before them was decked out in normal shinobi gear…
The only difference being that it was pink… and slightly frilly in places.
There was only one thing that could possibly make Sasuke look scarier than he already did.
Fortunately, he saved the groups mind from wandering and just showed them.
The smile was terrifying.
Even Itachi cringed upon seeing it.
Then, seemingly pleased with the terror his appearance and grin had caused, Sasuke then began to grasp leaves from the ground, casting them at the new comers in a bizarre frenzy.
For their part, Orochimaru and Neji just stared, glancing at each other after a while and shrugging.
Itachi activated his Sharingan, intent on making his non-adopted-legal-but-not-happily-accepted-foolish-little-brother suffer for his foolishness, only to realize that Sasukes chakra signature was completely different.
Deactivating it, Itachi instead pulled a kunai from his weapons pouch and thrust it in the imposters direction, causing the man to shriek and in a puff of smoke, revert back to his normal self.
Glancing down at himself and realising his transformation jutsu had been undone, Tobi covered the bottom of his mask where his mouth would be in mock horror.
He then proceeded to pounce onto Naruto, giggling as he did and clawing at the boys clothes.

"ACCK! GET IT AWAY, GET IT AWAY!"

Neji and Orochimaru grabbed one each of Tobis arms and dragged him off the now mentally scarred Naruto and held him in place while Itachi stood before him, brandishing a kunai and smirking threateningly.

"What do you have to say for yourself, Tobi?"

Without hesitation, Tobi giggled manically and nodded at Itachi, his hands being restrained and happily replied,

"Tobi hopes that Itachi-san liked the way Sasuke-sama looked. Because he probably won't live to see him look so happy ever again. Hiiiiiiiii Narutoooooo! Can Tobi have a hug?"

Crawling hastily away, Naruto pointed at Tobi and screeched,

"YOU ARE EITHER TAKING WAY TOO MANY PILLS - OR NO WHERE NEAR ENOUGH!"

Sighing and shaking his head, Itachi rubbed the bridge of his nose and muttered to himself, "Why is this entire adventure so ridiculous…" before thrusting his kunai into Tobis chest, his frown and disappointment darkening when he was greeted with a 'pop' and a puff of smoke.
Mother fucking shadow clones...
Narutos breathing calmed upon seeing that the object of his growing dislike had poofed away.
Sighing and dropping his weight back onto his elbows, the boy cringed in horror and cried,

"Of all people he could have impersonated in pink, WHY did it have to be SASUKE!?"

Now, you are all probably cursing me and my existence for putting Sasuke beloved into frilly pink things… I assure you that there is a reason (albeit a not very good one) for it.
I'd love to know how you all think this is going to end, cookies to whoever gets the closest to the truth
