Chapter 135: Capturing the Artist

[Land of Earth, Yellow Rocks City]

As the name suggests, this city has a great amount of yellow rocks and is considered one of the larger cities in the Land of Earth.

After Rengoku's clone slipped into the shadows, his consciousness transferred over to Itachi.

At this moment, Itachi was hiding in an alley by the street, staring at a direction.

There, a naturally formed yellow rock tower, over ten meters tall.

It was a landmark structure of Yellow Rocks City.

When Rengoku emerged from Itachi's shadow, he deliberately released a bit of his aura.

Itachi also turned and bowed, "Senpai, you're here."

Rengoku responded, "Who are you waiting for?"

"Deidara is likely to come and blow up that tower."

Itachi answered while keeping some of his attention on the base of the tower.

As Rengoku looked up, his eyes narrowed slightly, he saw a large white bird appear above in the sky.

Looking at that clay giant bird, Rengoku was sure this man was Deidara.

Although Deidara hadn't tied his hair in the iconic topknot yet, that golden hair was recognizable at a glance.

Moreover, beside Deidara was a little girl with short black hair, currently speaking to Deidara.

"Deidara-nee, it's so high! Let's go down quickly."

Kurotsuchi had a frightened expression, this was her first time flying so high.

If she'd known, she wouldn't have secretly snuck out to find Deidara, nor followed him to experience "art."

But Deidara was excitedly looking at the yellow rock tower ahead, not turning back.

"I've already issued a warning. I must let the people of Yellow Rocks City witness my art."

Saying this, Deidara saw they were close to the tower.

He also pulled out some explosive clay and stuffed it into his mouth to start molding.

Kurotsuchi cried anxiously, "Deidara-nee, let's go down! Grandpa will scold you!"

"That geezer (chew chew chew) doesn't (chew chew chew) understand (spits out) my art at all!"

"You'll see soon enough."

Deidara moved fast. With a quick rub of his hands, a lifelike owl appeared in his palm.

He tossed it out, and once it left his hand, the owl automatically expanded, flapped its wings, and charged straight toward the yellow rock tower.

BOOM!

A loud explosion resounded. In the sky, it was like a giant firework bursting open.

The top of the yellow rock tower was directly blown off, and large pieces of stone exploded downward.

"YAHOO! Art is an explosion! Hmm!"

Deidara cheered excitedly atop his bird, while the people below cursed loudly.

"Get out of the way!"

"Run! It's raining rocks!"

"Bastard! It's Deidara again! He actually came!"

"Go after him! He blew up the yellow rock tower!"

"Chase my ass! Can you fly? Save people!"

While Deidara was enjoying the blast, the falling stones were indiscriminate.

From dozens of meters high, one careless hit could leave people with smashed heads and bleeding.

Chaos erupted below.

At this moment, two figures were already hanging below Deidara's flying bird.

Deidara cheered as he flew out of Yellow Rocks City, still thinking about his next target.

"Deidara-nee, the wind is too strong, let's go down."

Kurotsuchi didn't find this fun. Though flying was nice, the wind was too strong.

It blew her sideways and made her freezing. Her eyes couldn't even open.

Deidara looked back at Kurotsuchi's pale face from the wind and promptly took off his coat, draping it over her.

He placed one hand on her forehead, "Still cold?"

Kurotsuchi had been hugging herself and trembling. When warmth suddenly enveloped her, she opened her eyes just in time to see Deidara draping the coat and touching her forehead.

Her body and heart warmed at the same time, and a blush appeared on her face.

"Not cold anymore, Deidara-nee."

At this time, Deidara was just beginning to immerse himself in art. Toward this junior who always followed him around, he didn't mind her.

After all, Kurotsuchi was his first batch of audience.

"Told you to eat more, you're so skinny."

Deidara shook his hand with a flair, looking very cool.

Kurotsuchi looked at the handsome Deidara, eyes full of affection.

Only, Deidara hadn't put any skill points into this kind of awareness, so he couldn't understand at all.

"Achoo!", Deidara sneezed.

"Forget it, I'll send you back. Or the old man's gonna come looking for me again."

After giving his coat to Kurotsuchi, Deidara himself felt a bit cold too.

Seeing that they had flown out of Yellow Rocks City's range, he began to descend.

As he lowered, Deidara immediately saw Itachi and Rengoku on the ground.

"You've followed me all the way here?"

"Then let me show you what real art is. Hmm!"

Seeing someone had kept up with his flight, Deidara grew eager.

He manipulated his bird and was about to ascend again.

Rengoku suddenly paused on the ground and leapt upward.

Deidara found it strange, 'Just jumping won't reach my bird. Is he going to throw shuriken?'

But Rengoku's ninjutsu was far more effective than ninja tools.

Rengoku formed a hand seal.

"Fire Style: Ghost Lantern!"

A huge number of white-yellow light points appeared around Deidara.

These light points instantly exploded into fireballs.

Deidara was momentarily dazed, 'What is this jutsu? So beautiful!'

The fireballs smashed into his clay bird, blasting open several large holes.

Kurotsuchi screamed as the bird began falling rapidly.

Deidara snapped out of it. Bold due to skill, even high in the sky, he wasn't panicked.

He grabbed Kurotsuchi with one hand and pulled out more explosive clay with the other to chew.

While chewing, he stared at Rengoku.

'Who was that? That fan symbol?'

At this point, Rengoku's eyes had already turned into Mangekyo Sharingan.

Deidara had just recognized the opponent as Uchiha when everything went black.

He, Kurotsuchi, and the clay bird plummeted downward.

On the ground, Itachi leapt up, catching Deidara and Kurotsuchi one in each hand.

"Deidara-nee!"

"Let go of me!"

"I'm gonna tell Grandpa to catch you!"

Though Kurotsuchi had been frightened in midair, after landing and seeing both herself and Deidara captured, she began struggling.

Rengoku looked at the little girl and immediately recognized her as young Kurotsuchi.

No denying it, Kurotsuchi was quite lively as a kid.

But he didn't know why she was hanging out with Deidara today.

"Kurotsuchi!"

Rengoku suddenly shouted her name, and Kurotsuchi instinctively looked at him.

Then, under a pair of blood-red eyes, she immediately fainted.

"Heh, searched far and wide, only to get them effortlessly. They were even hanging out together."
