A single drop

Zetsu

The fight didn't continue much longer as sasuke made his escape to find Danzo. I growled looking behind me.

"whats you plan Tobi, he could very well die here, " I said.

Tobi walked out of the shadows and up to me. I found my anger grow as I went to punch him but my hand simply passed through.

"i hope you didn't think that would work, " he said.

"of course I knew. But I hoped, now answer the question, " I growled.

"he wants to kill Danzo. Who an I to stop him, " Tobi said.

"Sasuke may be strong but going against all the kage is insane. He could very well end up dead, " I snapped.

"you don't need to worry. I have everything planned, " he said.

"that makes me worry more you idiot, " I growled.

He soon left and I sighed. What was I supposed to do? I refuse to follow him blindly. But the Akatsuki is all I know and plus dad is still with them.

I heard commotion upstairs. Seems he's made contact. A few minutes passed and I watched Danzo and his guards run away. Damn coward. I felt Tobi's chakra disappear with Sasuke and Karin's. And then a mist ninja ran after Danzo.

Seems things are picking up. But I really don't care. I prepared to walk away only to hear Zetsu rise up behind me. I turned and smiled at him.

"where are you going Yoshi?" he asked.

I walked up to him. He threw a peach at me and I took a bite. He sank into the ground and I ran outside. I walked through the snow again holding my red umbrella. I stopped as Zetsu again showed up. We both walked under the umbrella.

"do you hate us?" the white side asked.

I sighed looking at them.

"no, I don't. I don't trust you as I use to but I don't hate you, " I said.

"Are you mad?" he asked.

"not now. But keep being stupid and I will be mad, " I growled.

"we betrayed you brat. Stabbed you in the back. Took the trust you gave us and threw it away. Doesn't it bother you, " the backside said?

"What else should I expect from our shinobi world. This world is based on lies and deception. I don't hold it against you. I've done that to people. It's not great but it's how we live. It's how we survive, " I said.

Zetsu looked Yoshi who looked forward. Her gaze never wavered. She always held her head high. At least around people. She was different from most humans.

She didn't immediately blame them for the action she tried to understand why the did it. What was behind the action? She showed empathy.

He wondered whether his mother would like her. He wondered how Yoshi would react to his mother. Most people automatically would hate her. But he was unsure about Yoshi.

But he also knew he had to be careful. She was observant and he would be surprised if she figured out his true plans.
