"They're not going? Then I'll go."
While Xuanyu was talking with Orochimaru, Deidara came over from who knew where.
He had been idle to begin with.
Now,
he had come over, his eyes burning with excitement.
Ever since the final battle at Konoha, he had truly understood what a real powerhouse was, as well as how lacking his own strength was. He had been yearning to grow stronger.
So,
when he heard they were going to Mount Myōboku to train, he could no longer wait.
"You?" Xuanyu looked at Deidara and said speechlessly, "Isn't Owuya Bai researching a Cursed Seal that can absorb Chakra of other attributes? Stay behind and cooperate with him."
"Ah?"
Deidara was stunned and said helplessly,
"That old man has no idea when he'll finish developing it. You can't make me wait here forever, can you?"
"Next time, I'll take you along!"
"Just take me with you this time!"
Deidara looked eager, almost pleading.
Seeing the hesitation and uncertainty on Uchiha Xuan Yu's face,
"Don't worry. Once we get there, I'll definitely behave myself." Deidara wore a serious expression, with a hint of supplication. If possible, he wanted to become stronger.
"Just take him with you. Now that he isn't studying clay anymore, he's nothing but a menace in the Underground Laboratory!" Orochimaru walked over at that moment and spoke with a look of disdain.
After only a few days here, he had already grown sick of Deidara.
"Orochimaru, you're the real one!"
Deidara shot Orochimaru an approving look, signaling that he had done well. As expected of a brother.
"Fine. You can come with me!" Xuanyu did not waste any more words. He let Deidara follow him, then headed straight for Owuya Bai's laboratory.
Hua Yu and Owuya Bai were conducting research. Across from them
