Space twisted slightly.
Bzz—!
Holding Tsunade in his arms, Uchiha Yao vanished from the spot in an instant.
A moment later.
The two of them appeared on another stretch of sand several kilometers away.
This was where Uchiha Shunichi and the other two had fought Deidara earlier.
At that moment, Deidara lay sprawled across the sand like a pile of mud, his eyes rolled back, drool spilling from the corner of his mouth. He looked utterly wrecked.
Tsunade climbed down from Uchiha Yao's arms. Seeing Deidara's miserable state, she could not help but chuckle softly.
Then she looked at Uchiha Yao.
"What are you planning to do with this guy?"
Given Tsunade's personality, the best way to deal with an enemy who had invaded Konoha and injured her subordinates was to kill him on the spot.
But she also knew that since Uchiha Yao had not killed Deidara immediately, he must have had his own plans.
"It would be a pity to kill him."
Deidara's Explosive Clay could play an enormous role in future wars.
Especially on a large-scale battlefield, he alone was comparable to an entire army.
It truly would be a waste for such a talent to die.
Tsunade nodded in understanding.
"But making him betray Akatsuki and join Konoha probably won't be easy."
"There seems to be something wrong with his head. Earlier, he kept muttering crazy things about art and explosions. Everything he said and did was strange."
Deidara's crazed appearance had left a deep impression on Tsunade.
Making a fanatical madman like that change sides was no ordinary task.
"I naturally have my ways."
Uchiha Yao smiled.
Uchiha Yao had plenty of methods for dealing with someone mentally unstable like this.
Uchiha Yao possessed a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan that had belonged to Uchiha Shisui.
