Under the azure sky of Sunagakure, sunlight filtered through sparse clouds in dappled patterns, shining over this ancient golden land.
High in the sky, a figure in a Red Cloud Robe leisurely rode a Clay Bird he had molded himself, like an artist soaring through the air.
This was Deidara, a member of the Akatsuki Organization.
His figure slowly circled above Sunagakure, his golden hair fluttering gently in the breeze, his eyes sparkling with an endless obsession and fervor for the art of explosions.
"So this is the village where the One-Tail Jinchuriki, Shukaku, resides? It looks like every inch of this land gives off a unique artistic aura." Deidara muttered to himself, his voice carrying a hint of amusement and disdain.
As his words fell, his nimble hand reached into the cloth pouch he carried with him again. He gently took out a handful of white clay and placed it in his palm.
Amazingly, his palm seemed to possess a life of its own. A human mouth appeared on it, and that mouth, as if endowed with a soul, began chewing the clay.
Before long, the little mouth finished chewing and suddenly spat. The ordinary clay instantly transformed into tiny spiders of various shapes. They looked so lifelike that they seemed ready to spring into motion at any moment.
Deidara gazed at these "works of art" created with his own hands, a satisfied smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
Then, without the slightest mercy, he tossed the little spiders down at Sunagakure from high in the sky.
The spider Clay Bombs Deidara threw down were like precision arrows, cutting through the air with an indescribably eerie beauty before landing squarely on the Sand Shinobi guards.
The guards wore looks of astonishment.
"What kind of monster is this?"
