"This is where White Zetsu discovered Deidara is currently staying. Just go there and find him." Those were the final words Deva Path Pain spoke before the Akatsuki Organization meeting ended.
Afterward, Deva Path Pain tossed a scroll to Sasori.
Recorded on it was the location of the temple where Deidara was training.
"Let's go. It's time for a trip to the Land of Earth!" After reading the scroll, Sasori spoke to Shisui and Kisame.
Shisui and Kisame exchanged a glance, nodded, and followed behind Sasori.
For this mission, Sasori was the leader. They had only come to assist him.
After all, according to the mission intel, although Deidara was only thirteen years old, he had already mastered the ability to fly.
In a direct fight, Sasori would have no problem taking him down. The concern was that if the boy tried to flee, Sasori would be somewhat helpless.
Shisui and Kisame were there precisely to deal with that possibility.
With the combined strength of the three of them, they refused to believe they could let that brat Deidara fly away!
If they did, they might as well strip naked and quit Akatsuki. They couldn't afford that kind of humiliation!
Of course, not even Soji knew that the three spies he had planted in Akatsuki were now heading toward the Land of Earth together.
After all, Akatsuki was only recruiting a Deidara. It was hardly important enough to require reporting every detail to Soji.
At most, after Deidara joined, they might each mention it to Soji.
For now, though, there was no need.
So Soji had no idea what the three of them were doing.
Akatsuki now had Soji's three undercover agents. They could already play Landlord.
If Shisui used Kotoamatsukami to turn another one, they could even play mahjong!
