Chapter 248: 248
Deidara, of now, is a little kid with a lively personality and his own way of thinking.
Because of his outstanding ninjutsu talent since he was a child, he was accepted as a disciple by the third Tsuchikage Onoki, and is a recognized genius in Iwagakure.
Deidara also lived up to everyone's expectations. He became an excellent ninja at a young age and was deeply loved by Onoki. In addition, he also has a hobby of making clay sculptures, and his works have won many praises.
However, Deidara is very motivated and is not satisfied with the current achievements, but in order to pursue a deeper and more advanced art, he even secretly learned the forbidden technique of "mixing chakra into substance" in the village.
This is the so-called "Explosion".
Afterwards, as Deidara detonated the detonating clay he made by himself, the moment he saw the explosion, his eyes lit up.
Bomb.
Due to Deidara's free will, these bombs quickly brought a lot of trouble to Iwagakure, causing repeated destruction and casualties.
Later, the villagers, including the fourth Tsuchikage couldn't stand him anymore. They drove the unrepentant Deidara out of the village and prohibited him from returning to the village unless he gave up on making clay bombs.
For an eight-year-old boy, facing such a difficult situation, admitting defeat seems to be the only option.
But Deidara was an artist who was naturally rebellious and romantic, so he refused to admit his mistake and went to a temple outside the village, where he continued his artistic research.
The above is the information that Kisame has inquired from the villagers of Iwakagure.
From Kisame's point of view, Deidara is undoubtedly a rare genius, but the lack of correct guidance has led him into to a crooked path. That's why he came to Iwagakure and bring him under his command.
After finding out the location of the temple where Deidara is currently located, Kisame left the village and arrived there.
From a distance, Kisame saw a little kid with long blond hair rolling up his sleeves and tinkering with something in the open space in front of the temple. His face and body were covered with mud and black ashes, and there was a large hole beside him, with sparks remaining in the hole, and a puff of white smoke came out of it.
Obviously, an explosion has just happened here, and from the embarrassed appearance of the kid, it may be that he has just experienced a failed artistic experiment.
However, he looked very optimistic. He hummed a little tune and danced his hands, and soon he made a big lifelike spider out of white clay.
"Yeah, it worked!"
Deidara raised the spider above his head with both hands, shouted excitedly, then suddenly turned around and threw the spider in his hand in one direction.
'Suiii.'
The spider made an arc in the air and landed behind a small stone. Immediately afterwards, Deidara showed a sly smile, and made a burst seal, and said to himself: "You dare to send someone to monitor me again, see how I will make you look good, Haa!"
As he shouted lightly, there was a sudden bang behind the small stone, and a dazzling fire and smoke burst out.
"What!"
In the thick smoke, there was a scream of a girl and a teenager. Obviously, the people hiding there was caught off guard by Deidara's sudden attack.
'Huh?'
Deidara succeeded with his sneak attack, but frowned, because he felt that the victim's voice seemed familiar.
In the next second, two figures emerged from the thick smoke and rushed straight to Deidara.
One is a girl with short black hair, Kurotsuchi, and the other is a simple and honest-looking little fat Akaichi. They are Deidara's kohai.
"Big Brother Diedara! We managed to hide from my father and sneak out to see you, but you welcomed us in this way?"
Kurotsuchi walked up to Deidara with a sullen face, put her hands on her hips, and questioned him angrily.
"Oh, it's Kurotsuchi. You were sneaking behind the stone, can you still blame me? I thought that the fourth Tsuchikage sent people to monitor me and restrict my personal freedom."
Deidara spread his hands and said with a rogue face.
Surprisingly, there is a mouth on each of his palms, and when he speaks, the tongue in his hands also keeps moving. It chewed the clay with his mouth and shaped it into various shapes.
This is a special talent that belongs to Deidara.
"Deidara, you think too badly of Tsuchikage-sama. He just asked you to calm down here. As long as you promise not to destroy the village in the future, you can go back at any time."
Akaichi, who was standing on the side said naively.
"Humph."
Hearing this, Deidara snorted unhappily, he turned his head to one side, and said impatiently, "If you have anything to do, just say it, don't disturb my research, otherwise I will lose my inspiration. "
"Art? You shape these ugly spiders out of clay, and then throw them out to explode. Is that the art, Big Brother Deidara? Who would approve of such art?" Kurotsuchi frowned and questioned.
"Hahaha, you don't understand Kurotsuchi."
Deidara laughed, put his hands on his hips, and said arrogantly, "Real art is not understood by the ignorant world. How can you two brats understand my art?"
Kurotsuchi was still unconvinced, she rolled her eyes, and continued to ask: "Then I will ask you again, can your art be eaten as a meal? You live in this temple alone, and what do you rely on to support your life, do you rely on these explosive spiders? ?"
She thought this question would fluster Deidara, but she didn't expect him to answer without hesitation:
"Of course. Don't forget, I am a genius. I can take some missions outside, such as assassination, destruction of buildings, etc., which can be easily accomplished using the art of explosion. At that time, it is very easy to support myself."
But just after he finished saying these words with confidence, his stomach growled in disappointment and made a grunting sound.
"So hungry."
Only then did Deidara remember that he had entered a state of flow due to his overindulgence in art, causing him to completely forget the passage of time. Looking back now, he hasn't eaten for almost a whole day.
With a thud, he fell to the ground, and he was about to faint from hunger.
"You are starving to death and still being so stubborn."
Kurotsuchi shook her head, although her mouth was not forgiving, she felt sorry for her senpai. She glanced at Akaichi, and the latter put down the food box in his hand and took out a steaming bibimbap and ball soup.
"Eat, we brought it to you on purpose, who made you our senpai." Kurotsuchi said with her arms crossed, looking down at Deidara, who was downcast.
Smelling the aroma of the food, Deidara's eyes lit up at first. At this time, he didn't care about his face. He could not wait to jump on the food box and eat it all.
But the next second, after he saw the food brought by the two, he suddenly frowned and complained to Kurotsuchi:
"Why is it bibimbap? I hate bibimbap the most. It's the worst food in the world. Did you do it on purpose?"
"It's good to have some food, but you are still picky. You know, Akaichi and I are both hungry, and we used the pocket money we saved to buy these foods for you."
Kurotsuchi rolled her eyes, becoming more and more dissatisfied with Deidara.
"Then take it, I don't want it."
Deidara resisted hunger, sat down again, and said firmly, "I, Deidara, may starve to death today, but I will never eat a bite of bibimbap!"
"If you don't want to eat, that's your wish!"
Kurotsuchi finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted. However, she didn't really take the food, but left the food box in place, and then went away with Akaichi.
"Grumble..."
Deidara watched the two go away, and after they disappeared completely, his stomach screamed again.
He stared straight at the bibimbap, and finally hunger conquered everything. When he picked it up, he devoured it and wiped it out.
"It's delicious."
Deidara finished eating the bibimbap, and there was not even a grain of rice left. He drank the meatball soup, without saying a word.
He touched his still shriveled belly, and felt that he is only half full, which was far from enough.
"Oh, there's no other way."
Deidara sighed, stood up helplessly, and was about to go to the surrounding towns to find out if he could receive any missions or the like. To get some money to fill his stomach.
Great artists often have a period of difficult life experience, and they more or less have to compromise with life.
However, just when Deidara packed up all his belongings (actually just a cloth bag) and was about to leave, he suddenly found that a person appeared on the side of the road at some point.
The man crossed his chest with his arms, leaned against a big tree, looked towards his side, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Who are you?"
Deidara asked alertly, hiding his hands behind his back, chewing the clay in the palm of his mouth and starting to make bombs.
The stranger in front of him could quietly appear nearby, without him being aware.
"Don't be nervous, kid, I have no ill will towards you. You should understand that if I attacked you just now, you wouldn't be able to stand and talk to me now."
While talking, Kisame walked towards Deidara and joked, "By the way, I have heard everything you said just now. You said that you would rather starve to death than eat a bite of bibimbap, but it looks like you have eaten everything."
Hearing this, Deidara realized that this man saw what he has done and couldn't help but blush, and took a long time to say: "...I just didn't want to waste food."
"Haha. Don't talk nonsense, I came to Iwagakure this time for you, a talented artist. I have a task to entrust to you, and the remuneration will definitely satisfy you. And you can perform a mission while showing off your explosive art. How about it, are you interested?"
Kisame went straight to the point, tempting Deidara with words, like a child trafficker.
"For real?"
Deidara hearing that looked very excited. As soon as he was about to take a job, the client actually came to the door himself, this too smooth.
Moreover, the other party also called him a "genius artist", which made Deidara, who has always been questioned by the villagers, feel the warmth of the spring sunshine, and he was about to float on the spot.
When he was young, he was completely immersed in his own art world all day long, and he lacked awareness and understanding of the world.
He is a simple guy.
"Of course it's true."
Kisame's eyes flashed, and has no psychological burden for abducting ignorant young kids. He glanced at the environment around the temple, and then said to Deidara, "As for the specific task content, let's talk about it in another place."
"Well, okay." Deidara responded quickly.
Half an hour later, in a nearby town.
Kisame and Deidara walked into a small shop, and the proprietress immediately greeted them with a smile and asked them, "Good afternoon, two, what are you going to eat?"
"Give me tender chicken and soju."
Kisame said, then glanced at Deidara beside him, and before the latter spoke, he smiled and said to the proprietress, "As for this little artist, I think he likes Oden-style fried eggs, right?"
"How do you know? I like eating this the most!" Deidara's eyes widened, he was very surprised by this.
Kisame smiled without saying a word.
Soon, the steaming hot food was served.
"Let's eat first. Artists also need to fill their stomachs in order to burst out enough inspiration." Kisame said generously.
"Then I'll start!" Deidara folded his hands together, and then he ate a lot. He ate several bowls of fried eggs in one go, and finally his stomach was full and was bulging high.
After resting in the shop for a while, they digesting the food in my stomach.
The two came to the outside of the street, not far from the glade.
"Before I officially issue a mission commission to you, I need to test your abilities to ensure that you are qualified to accept this commission. Do you have any questions?" Kisame looked at Deidara and asked.
"Alright. But let me say it first, I won't be merciful."
Deidara raised both hands and the tongue in the palm of his hand liked their lips, looking eager to try.
'Boom! Boom! Boom!'
In the woods, the sound of explosions continued to be heard, accompanied by flashes of fire, and the fall of trees. Deidara kept making explosive clay from his body, and then manipulated them to approach Kisame.
Kisame dodged left and right, calmly dodging every attack from Deidara, and mockingly said: "Do you only have this ability? The so-called art seems to be nothing more than that."
"Don't underestimate me, bastard!"
Deidara was really outraged, and he couldn't allow others to despise his art. So, he did not hesitate to use the strongest move, and created a one-person-high clay bird, which flew towards Kisame.
'Boom!'
The flying bird exploded in front of Kisame, producing a violent fire that devoured him in an instant.
'Oops.'
Deidara's expression changed when he saw this scene. He didn't expect to kill his employer on impulse.
