Shattered Dreams

In Sasori's dream...

"Mom! Dad! Grandma!"

Sasori lay in his parents' arms, a faint smile on his handsome sleeping face as he murmured now and then.

His face glowed with happiness.

"Sasori, you're so clingy!"

"He's our child, after all!"

Sasori's mother looked at him with a gentle smile.

In Deidara's dream...

"Deidara, is this your art? It's perfect! It's beautiful!" Kurotsuchi exclaimed.

"Hahaha!"

"Can you show us again?"

"Of course!"

Deidara molded several Clay Birds in his hands and sent them toward a huge boulder.

"Art is an Explosion!"

Boom!

The boulder shattered instantly.

Deidara's many admirers shrieked with excitement!

They stared at him with stars in their eyes.

"Teach me! Teach me!"

"Hahaha! All right, all right! Beauty that lasts only an instant—that's art!"

Deidara shared his philosophy of art, dreaming of spreading it throughout the Shinobi World.

An old man spotted Deidara and flew over.

Seeing his teacher approach, Deidara ducked his head. His teacher had always hated it when he used Explosion Release whenever he pleased.

"Deidara, you did well!"

Ōnoki arrived, but instead of scolding him, he gave Deidara an affectionate pat on the shoulder.

"Teacher!"

"You're the next Tsuchikage. From now on, you'll teach Iwagakure your art!"

"Yes, Teacher!" Deidara said excitedly.

In Mei Terumi's dream...

"Welcome to Lady Mizukage's wedding!"

"Uchiha Yoru is taking Lady Mizukage's hand and walking toward us now!"

Ao called out at the top of his lungs as master of ceremonies.

Mei Terumi looked at Uchiha Yoru's handsome face and blushed.

"Do you take this woman as your wife? Will you love her and remain faithful to her, whether she is poor or rich, healthy or ill, until death?"

"I do!" Uchiha Yoru said, gazing tenderly at Mei Terumi.

"Do you take this man as your husband?
