Deidara and Kisame Hoshigaki's Collapsed Art Style

"Phew, are we finally almost at the Sanctuary? I didn't expect the outside world to be in such chaos so soon after the news of the Ninja World War spread!" Naruto couldn't help but exclaim after defeating another group of clueless rogue ninjas.

"It's much better now. This is the territory of the Dream God Sect, so there are relatively fewer escaped ninjas and wandering ninjas here," Sakura replied.

"Just who is that legendary Pope? He managed to take over Akatsuki's power without a word, and even made the surrounding countries worship this emerging power like a god in a short period of time!" Temari said solemnly.

"I'm also very curious, what kind of man could win Deidara's heart and soul?" Kurotsuchi asked curiously, stroking her delicate chin.

"Well, the simplest way to describe Lord Roy is probably 'handsome'!" Sakura racked her brains and came to a conclusion.

"Shouldn't the most immediate impression be that it's powerful?" Naruto said, pursing his lips.

"I heard that even Kisame Hoshigaki, who defeated Kisame Hoshigaki, has submitted to him. Can I really talk to a man like that? I should... be able to, right?" Chojuro muttered timidly to himself.

Boom! Rumble! Rumble!

Thunder roared, the earth shook, and a scorching wave swept over everyone, bringing the scent of summer along with the smell of gunpowder.

"It's Deidara (senior brother)!" The four from Sunagakure and Iwagakure reacted instantly, running towards the direction from which the explosion's shockwave came.

"Don't do it on your own..." Qing was about to stop them, but found that the others had followed. He could only complain in frustration, "These young people nowadays are really too reckless and impulsive!"

Before long, the four of them, including Kurotsuchi, had fully entered the territory of the Dream God Sect. The land before them was crisscrossed with ravines and gullies, but it was not the desolate scene they had imagined after being ravaged by artillery fire. Instead, it was filled with a unique beauty.

Deidara stood atop a giant bird, hands on his hips, while a large group of "simple" commoners looked up at the sky and bowed in worship.

"Lord Deidara is truly amazing! This is perfect art!"

"It's unbelievable that such smooth cuts and exquisite textures could be the product of an explosion. Only the world's top artists could achieve this!"

"Hahaha! To say this kind of art is trivial would be presumptuous, so let's just call it average!" Deidara laughed "modestly."

Kurotsuchi could hardly believe his eyes. "Senior Deidara, you... you actually used your own idea of art to do this!"

"Ah! It's you two brats!" Deidara glanced down and said casually, "You wouldn't understand. This is the ultimate art that Brother Roy taught me! To preserve the traces of an explosion in a uniquely artistic way at the very moment of its occurrence, so you can enjoy double the pleasure!"

Kurotsuchi blinked cutely, feeling like she wasn't on the same wavelength as her senior brother.

"Deidara, we've finally found you! You will pay for the sins you have committed against us Sand Ninja with your life!" Temari declared righteously.

"That's right, you can't escape this time!" Kankuro followed closely behind.

Deidara rolled his eyes at the two of them speechlessly. "Which of you saw me planning to run away? Besides, that brat Kazekage isn't here. With just the two of you, you'd better think about how to survive my explosion!"

Upon hearing this, Temari and her companion were momentarily speechless, realizing the gravity of the situation. They had rushed over as soon as they heard the explosion, completely forgetting that they were no match for this S-rank rogue ninja.

As for Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi, they were selectively ignored by the two. Deidara was their senior, and it was difficult to guarantee their final stance.

Just then, Naruto and his group finally arrived, and another shark-faced figure appeared on Deidara's side.

"Is he Deidara? To be able to control the wild power of an explosion so precisely is truly something to be reckoned with!" Samui said solemnly, looking at the seemingly meticulously planned ground.

"Wait, that person on the other side is Kisame Hoshigaki, the Hidden Mist Kisame Hoshigaki from Kisame Hoshigaki who killed Suigetsu Hozuki and stole the Samehada sword from him!" Ao, who had originally intended to remain indifferent, now had a solemn expression.

Samui and Darui looked on with amusement, showing no intention of helping this small team that had only been around for a few days.

Naruto, seeing the increasingly tense atmosphere in the arena, was also unsure of what to do.

He was the kind of person who "clearly distinguishes between love and hate." Even people like Orochimaru, Nagato, and Uchiha Obito be accepted by him after they were redeemed. This shows that in his mind, the standard for judging friend and foe was whether they posed a threat to Konoha.

After Deidara and Kisame Hoshigaki joined the Dream God Sect, it could be considered a form of redemption, leaving him somewhat unsure of which side to take later.

"Is this stance a preparation for a fight? It's good to loosen up your muscles, but before that, let me finish the mission first!" Kisame Hoshigaki said nonchalantly.

"A mission?" The group became wary. A mission that required the involvement of an S-rank rogue ninja like Kisame Hoshigaki must be extremely dangerous. There might be many hidden dangers nearby that they had overlooked.

"Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"

Kisame didn't waste any words. He quickly formed hand seals and spewed out enough water from his mouth to form a lake. The water flowed through the crisscrossing ravines, instantly turning the arid land into a watery paradise.

"To think that such a large area of Paddy Field could be reclaimed so quickly is a miracle, a gift from God!"

"Thank you for the blessings of Lord Deidara and Lord Kisame, and thank you for the good fortune of the Dream God!"

"What... their mission is to help these civilians cultivate Paddy Field?" Seeing a large group of civilians thanking Deidara and Kisame Hoshigaki with tears of gratitude, Temari and the others were instantly stunned and speechless. What the hell? How did the style of Deidara and Kisame Hoshigaki, these brutal S-rank rogue ninjas, become so out of character?

"I can't believe it. You, who can kill your comrades on missions without hesitation, have this side to you?" Qing said, trying his best to salvage his shattered worldview.

"Only by completing the tasks assigned by the leader can I feel that I truly exist, and not some kind of illusory deception. Moreover, the feeling of being respected... seems quite nice!" Kisame said indifferently.

"Is it strange? Brother Roy told me that my art is not yet perfect. Explosions should not only bring destruction but also creation. Only by combining creation and destruction can it be truly perfect art!" Deidara shouted in a fanatical voice.

"So you should be glad. In the past, at least half of you would have died to live up to our name."
