The Kotoamatsukami crow flew to Kakuzu's hideout, now the Explosive Organization's base.
"How much longer? How much longer? How much longer before he'll undo this seal on me?"
Deidara stared irritably at the seal on his chest in the basement.
He wanted to remove the seal himself. If he dug out all the flesh on his chest, for instance, wouldn't that get rid of it?

I already gave him my Akatsuki ring, and he still doesn't trust me!
