Meihui interrupted Naruto's casting, but the look in Naruto's eyes made him decide to give him some attention anyway. They were only facing Deidara, after all. He probably wasn't that strong. (Deidara: Let me just say, thank you.)
"Hmm... Naruto, you've gotten quite a bit taller." Meihui studied Naruto for a long while, but couldn't come up with anything about love, hate, or their tangled history, so that was all he managed.
But Naruto didn't mind in the slightest. He was overjoyed.
Naruto had so many questions for Meihui now. Where had he been all these years? What exactly had happened that day? And so on and so forth. His mind was already crammed with questions.
A happy smile spread across Naruto's face, and his eyes shone.
Watching the two of them call each other brother, Deidara really couldn't stand it anymore.
He really wanted to mold a bomb and blow them both up. But considering that the black-haired kid seemed to know some pretty powerful Lightning Release Ninjutsu, he decided to watch for a while first rather than act rashly.
"Hey, are you two going to fight or not? If not, I'm going to help my big bro Sasori." Deidara was still polite enough to inform the brothers in front of him.
That left Meihui speechless. Why was this Deidara so strange?
"Deidara, the artist of the fleeting moment from the artistic double act, huh? A pretty good opponent this time."
Meihui spoke slowly.
Deidara, however, leaped into the air.
"What? Who? Are you talking about me? Deidara, the artist of the fleeting moment from the artistic double act-that's yours truly! I really like that title. Art is an explosion! The art of the fleeting moment is everything I strive for. You seem to understand art pretty well, kid.
