Taking the Five-Tails for a Sword Test
There was no problem on Aoba and Sasori's side, but Deidara was extremely displeased!

Unfortunately, this time there really was nothing for him or Kisame to do. Even though they wanted to wipe away their humiliation, they could only wait for the next opportunity.
