Inside a certain house outside Iwagakure.
Not long after Yakushi Nonou left, Deidara finally developed Explosive Clay.
Deidara, who was originally eager to let the people of Iwagakure experience his art, was captivated by Yuuki's video.
He began to modify himself, but unfortunately, Deidara was still too young to create his ultimate art.
However, the modification of his hands was complete, and he no longer had to put clay into his mouth to chew every time he displayed his art.
After all, the taste of Explosive Clay was truly not good.
Feeling that his artistic cultivation had achieved some success, Deidara began his art exhibition.
From then on, Iwagakure was plunged into various terrorist attacks every day. Deidara's goal was not to kill people, much less his own people.
But the daily explosions and collapses of uninhabited buildings, the occasional disappearance of a small hilltop, and the earth-shattering roars.
Still made Iwagakure miserable, not only the ordinary residents but also the Ninja.
I heard that the Fifth Raikage of Hidden Cloud Village has taken office. Listening to this commotion, doesn't it sound like the Raikage is raiding Iwagakure?
The continuous, earth-shattering roars were incessant, more thunderous than the Raikage!
Most of the Kage in the Ninja World neglected their duties, and only the Mizukage of Hidden Mist Village was an honest person, playing with water properly during fights.
Deidara, who disturbed the public every day, was finally sanctioned. His tools for committing crimes were attached to his body and could not be confiscated, so they could only find a way to lock him up.
Ultimately, Ōnoki, who felt for his disciple, still couldn't bear to imprison Deidara. Although Deidara was a bit mischievous, he was a child, and he would be fine when he grew up!
Moreover, at an age of less than ten, he was able to improve Nature Transformation, unlike the true Explosion Release that could explode anything.
But Deidara's explosives could be thrown, which was a huge leap.
The Explosion Release Kekkei owned by Iwagakure couldn't achieve such a degree. The Explosion Release Kekkei only exploded whatever it touched; to make an opponent explode during a fight, one had to touch the opponent and inject Chakra.
Before, I thought it was nothing, Explosion Release was quite strong, but now compared to Deidara's improved Explosive Clay, it felt incredibly weak.
Since Deidara had such talent, it naturally couldn't be wasted. Ultimately, Ōnoki declared to the Village that Deidara had been imprisoned.
In reality, Ōnoki secretly sent Deidara outside the Village, found a house in a sparsely populated area nearby, built a house, and left Deidara there.
Deidara didn't resist. Being naturally reclusive, he felt no displeasure about this, and even some anticipation, finally able to get rid of that Little Brat Kurotsuchi!
Living alone outside the Village, Deidara went to the deep mountains every day to experiment with new art.
Deidara promised Ōnoki not to destroy Iwagakure. As for why he didn't go to ordinary Villages in the Land of Earth to cause destruction.
It wasn't that Deidara had much conscience; it was mainly because the people of Iwagakure didn't understand his art and didn't praise that kind of beauty.
How could an ordinary Village understand the greatness of Deidara's work? Besides, Deidara was very rigorous about art.
Without experimentation, and without completely eliminating imperfections, Deidara would not display his art in front of others.
Deidara henceforth lived the life he had always dreamed of, with no one to supervise him, no one to disturb him, allowing him to fully immerse himself in artistic creation.
However, Deidara still watched Yuuki's videos every day. No matter how many times, they always captivated Deidara.
With longing in his eyes, Deidara murmured.
"This is art!"
Yuuki, in a hotel room, put down his video recording and expressed the same sentiment in his heart.
Hmm, it should be fine, right!
After all, I'm so artistic, it shouldn't be difficult to abduct Deidara, right.
Yuuki clearly remembered that Deidara was greatly astonished simply because Itachi stood against the light by a window, with his Sharingan open in his eyes.
Immediately, Deidara happily joined the Akatsuki Organization.
Yuuki had made ample preparations. First, Itachi's set. Since Deidara fell for that, then a performance was definitely necessary.
Afterward, he specifically brought a video recording. Yuuki, who understood Deidara's fanaticism through the original work, didn't believe Deidara would be unaffected after watching his own video.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Yuuki continued his journey.
By noon, Yuuki had already arrived in the Grass Country.
Upon arriving in the Grass Country, Yuuki suddenly remembered that Karin was currently in Kusagakure.
He recalled that Karin's mother was used as a blood bag by Kusagakure's hospital, and then it was Karin's turn.
Should he go see Karin? But it seemed Karin wasn't very useful, after all, she wasn't some special talent.
Yuuki carefully recalled the details about Karin in the original work.
Her first appearance was during the Chunin Exams, where she encountered a bear and was rescued by Sasuke.
Her next appearance was after Sasuke killed Orochimaru.
After thinking carefully, Yuuki remembered a detail: it seemed Karin changed her glasses later, didn't she?
Recalling Kabuto, whom he had specifically observed before setting off, Yuuki thought Karin might be a good prospect.
After pondering for a while, Yuuki decided to scout first and then see the situation after he had abducted Deidara.
If possible, it wouldn't be bad to get Kabuto a classmate!
Yuuki, slightly changing his direction, walked towards Kusagakure.
At this moment, inside Kusagakure.
Two figures, one large and one small, walked slowly.
Their long, straight, black hair would make countless women in the Ninja World envious.
The two walked seemingly aimlessly down the street.
Finally, the child couldn't help but speak.
"Lord Orochimaru, is there anything in this Village that attracts you?"
Orochimaru stopped, a smile filled with peculiar charm on his face as he said.
"Just strolling around. You can always find interesting things outside, just like I found you, Haku."
At this moment, Haku, who was only nine years old and looked very cute, smiled happily at Orochimaru's words.
Am I someone who makes Lord Orochimaru feel interesting? This feeling is so good.
"I understand, Lord Orochimaru!!!"
Orochimaru nodded gently, said nothing, and continued to move forward aimlessly.
Since Yuuki snatched away Kabuto, whom Orochimaru had long awaited, Orochimaru had been roaming around the Ninja World, adopting more than ten children one after another.
The most surprising among them for Orochimaru was Haku by his side, possessing the rare Ice Nature Transformation Kekkei in the entire Ninja World.
Orochimaru valued Haku greatly. In his heart, this was a body second only to Kimimaro.
However, after a period of contact, Orochimaru found that although Haku had very high Ninja talent and could endure even the most arduous training.
But Haku's soft nature made Orochimaru feel that Haku was not as useful as Kimimaro, until during a routine blood draw, Haku's eyes lit up when he saw the various instruments.
Orochimaru tentatively taught him some basic knowledge, and then discovered that compared to Ninja talent, Haku's talent for learning knowledge was no less impressive.
This made Orochimaru think of that silver-haired young man. Perhaps Haku had talent not inferior to Kabuto's!
This unexpected discovery greatly surprised Orochimaru, making him think of going out and exploring again. Perhaps there would be more surprises?
Orochimaru took Haku and began to wander around, constantly imparting his knowledge to Haku, and Haku's performance greatly satisfied Orochimaru.
This trip might not yield much, but cultivating Haku to a level where he could barely assist was worth it.
