Undisciplined…
Disdainful of his village…
As Itachi Uchiha thought about it, he felt a sense of déjà vu and couldn't help but glance at Kisame Hoshigaki beside him.
Deidara's personality was even worse than Kisame's. He was simply lawless in Iwagakure. Relying on his Explosion Release secret art, he caused trouble for his teacher all day long…
And because Deidara's talent was astonishing, he was sent out on ninja missions by Onoki far too early. There was no one by his side who could correctly instill the Will of Stone in him.
When Deidara was carrying out terrorist attacks in Iwagakure, the Third Tsuchikage probably felt that his own educational skills were lacking. He actually thought of letting his disciple run wild outside the village, hoping that his disciple would mend his ways on his own…
He had wasted a good seedling for nothing.
Come to think of it, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, wouldn't let even a single Ninja Academy child go astray, repeatedly teaching them the essence of the Will of Fire…
Then again, it was also possibly because Hiruzen Sarutobi was too benevolent that his own disciples' minds had all grown crooked.
And a teacher like the Tsuchikage Onoki, who didn't even manage his own disciple—of course his disciple's mind grew up to be even more twisted than the Konoha Sannin's!
"Itachi Uchiha, come and fight me! Let's see which is superior, my art, or your Sharingan!"
Deidara held three small clay birds in one hand and shouted, "Back then, my old man's office was blown up by me, and he refused to let me participate in that year's joint Chunin Exams! I've been waiting for this chance to fight for a long time!"
This was pure nonsense from Deidara…
That year, when Iwagakure was planning a joint Chunin Exam with Konoha, Deidara was not very old and was still experimenting with clay bombs. The things he made could only blow up Onoki's office. The little girl Kurotsuchi, who was always by his side, had thought he was just playing with mud…
It was precisely because Deidara had blown up Onoki's office that he, along with the little girl Kurotsuchi, had clamored to participate in the joint Chunin Exams, wanting to have a showdown with that genius named Itachi Uchiha…
At that time, the relationship between Iwagakure and Konoha was tense, and with the Hidden Grass Village siding with Konoha, the Third Tsuchikage had simply cut off the possibility of holding joint Chunin Exams with Konoha.
Itachi Uchiha actually knew about the near-joint-Chunin-Exam between Iwagakure and Konoha that year. It was at that Chunin Exam that he realized he had awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan…
And in the Hidden Rain Village, there was another person who had disguised himself as a genin to participate in that year's Chunin Exam. His name was Yamato, and he was sent to the Konoha Hospital by Itachi Uchiha with a single glance…
"Kisame-senpai, the Iwa-nin has now taken the initiative to provoke me, right?" Itachi tilted his head. "If I kill him, the Second Hokage should have no reason to blame me…"
"Although that's not wrong…"
Kisame Hoshigaki glanced at Deidara standing on the giant bird, pointed to his own temple, and said softly, "But Itachi-kun… don't you think this little kid from Iwagakure… has something wrong with his head?"
"What… are you talking about!" Deidara suddenly threw out a dozen clay pellets, his brow furrowed in irritation. "Do you think I can't hear you?"
"…Don't misunderstand…" Kisame Hoshigaki waved his hands repeatedly and grinned. "I just think it doesn't matter even if you do hear…"
"Bastard… Katsu!"
"Blaze Release: Yin Flame Wall!"
The young Konoha Jonin shook his head helplessly, and with a wave of his hand, a pitch-black wall of fire rose up in front of the two of them, detonating all the pellets that were flying towards them!
BOOM!
After a series of loud explosions, smoke instantly filled the air…
Unfortunately, the results of the clay bombs were truly touching…
Itachi Uchiha glanced at his companion, who had an equally strange expression, then turned his head in confusion and looked at the blonde youth. "His explosion jutsu… is it this weak?"
"…After all, not everyone can use the Tandem Paper Bomb Jutsu!" Kisame Hoshigaki observed the crater not far away and breathed a sigh of relief.
He had originally thought that this newfangled thing called clay bombs would be rather dangerous, but he didn't expect its power to be less than the explosive tags that Konan and Tobirama Senju played with… let alone the Tailed Beast Bomb released by Kitahara!
"You two bastards!"
Deidara cursed, manipulated the giant bird to turn and soar into the air, and reached into the clay pouch in his mouth. "Hmph, this time I'll use the Clay Twin Bird. Let's see how you defend against that…"
"No need to defend… Blaze Release: Yin Flame Sword!"
A voice suddenly entered Deidara's ears. The pair of black wings on Itachi Uchiha's back had carried him onto the giant clay bird. A ninja sword made of pitch-black flames was held in his hand, and with one slash, he cut open the body of the clay bird!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa…"
Deidara fell from the sky, flailing his arms and legs!
There wasn't even a single tree branch on this battlefield that he could use to break his fall!
The crisis was not over. In the air, Itachi Uchiha spread his wings, held the black flame ninja sword in one hand, and flew towards the falling Deidara!
The blonde youth's palm threw a ball of clay towards the ground, and he instantly formed a hand seal. "Hmph, you're pretty fast… Substitution Jutsu!"
Just as Deidara's figure swapped places with the clay and landed safely, a ninja sword fiercely split the clay in the air!
The clay that was split by the ninja sword suddenly turned into two giant clay centipedes, which tightly wrapped around Itachi's body!
Deidara smiled at the sky. "Idiot… you fell for it… have a taste of my artistic masterpiece! Katsu!"
Kisame Hoshigaki looked at the fireworks exploding in the sky in surprise. "…Itachi-kun!"
Did he… just get outsmarted?
I never thought this little kid from Iwagakure would actually have a brain, to even set a trap for the enemy while he himself was in danger!
These people who play with bombs and explosive tags are all risking their lives!
"You almost succeeded…"
A figure suddenly flew out of the smoke in the air. Itachi Uchiha slowly folded his wings and descended from the sky. "Although I only attended the Ninja Academy for one day, I have also mastered the basic ninjutsu…"
"This much time is enough!" Deidara spread his hands, and dozens of flying birds flew from his palms, resolutely charging towards Itachi Uchiha!
"What a seriously flawed jutsu…" The young Konoha Jonin formed a hand seal, holding two fingers to his lips. "Sage Art: Great Fireball Technique!"
A giant fireball instantly detonated all the flying birds!
At the same time the explosion sounded, Itachi's figure vanished in an instant. With a kunai in his hand, he used a three-stage sword leap to slash through the flames of the clay bombs and the Great Fireball Technique!
A lock of golden hair fell to the ground…
A thick palm tightly gripped the young Konoha Jonin's arm. A sturdy ninja in a red Iwagakure uniform turned his head and said, "I'm so sorry, did Deidara cause trouble again?"
He sounded just like a parent apologizing for their problem child…
Deidara's panicked expression instantly calmed down, then he became irritable again and roared at the newcomer, "Uncle Kitsuchi, get a grip! This isn't Iwagakure! We've run into the enemy!"
"Deidara, don't blame Captain Kitsuchi so casually! Lord Tsuchikage told us to use diplomacy before force!"
"Deidara, behave yourself! Don't just set off your clay bombs randomly outside! We're here to negotiate with the Konoha ninjas!"
The other two Iwa ninjas arrived, standing behind the sturdy ninja in the lead!
The face of Iwagakure, the son of the Third Tsuchikage, and also the strongest combatant currently deployed by Iwa, Kitsuchi, had arrived, leading the team personally!
