The little bird made of white clay came to life under Deidara's Chakra control. It tilted its little head, looked at the group of people in front of it, and finally flapped its wings and flew away.
Deidara raised an eyebrow, as if asking everyone what they thought of his work.
Just as Sasuke was about to say something, Deidara spoke up.
"It's not over yet! Watch closely, Art is an Explosion, snap!"
Before everyone's eyes, the white clay bird exploded as it flew into the sky, creating blast waves of air that left Sasuke speechless.
Ah, is that right?
At first, Sasuke thought Deidara was going to demonstrate his powerful Chakra control, but then he just exploded like that?
As for Naruto, his thoughts were different from Sasuke's. Naruto had Deidara in his ninja pool, but Deidara had a self-destruct ability that Naruto was afraid to use. He worried that he'd end up like Deidara, blown up into Patrick Star, and that would be the end of him.
However, just as the two were admiring Deidara's explosive art, Sasori snorted coldly in dissatisfaction.
"Tch, this is what you call art? In my opinion, art is eternal, not as fleeting as yours."
Scorpion, lying on the ground, spoke in a hoarse voice, seemingly recounting something very ordinary, but to Deidara, a person who pursued art, it was a defilement of the sacred place in his heart.
The two of them immediately started arguing.
"Nonsense, how can a momentary art not be called art?"
However, Sasori completely ignored Deidara's questioning, leaving him with no choice but to turn to Naruto and Sasuke for help, hoping they could give him their opinion.
"Huh? I don't know that. I'm just a roughneck; I don't understand these things."
Sasuke could only laugh it off, avoiding any engagement in their argument. What art? Was it any better than his own Ninjutsu?
"Hmm, in my opinion, what you two are pursuing can both be considered art, because the definition of art varies from person to person. Art is a highly diverse activity, whether it's visual, auditory, or sensory. As long as you want it, it can be defined as art. Moreover, as an artist, you don't need to prove anything to others; you just need to be true to your art."
Naruto's words left Deidara and Sasori, the artistic duo, speechless. They were both carefully considering what Naruto had just said. Even Sasori's gaze turned serious when he looked at Naruto. He had originally thought that his colleague would be someone who knew nothing, but he hadn't expected him to say something so profound.
"As an artist, you don't need to prove anything to others? You just need to be true to your art? Interesting guy."
As for Deidara, he saw things more clearly than Sasori. He didn't expect that this guy with blond hair, just like Deidara, would know so much. His remarks were novel, but they revealed a high degree of inclusiveness and were quite insightful.
"Haha, Senior Scorpion, did you hear that? He said I'm an artist! I'm an artist!"
Faced with Deidara's state, Sasori could only sigh helplessly. He seriously suspected that Deidara's brain had been blown up while playing with clay.
Although he disliked Deidara's appearance, he still replied perfunctorily:
"Oh, yes, yes, you're an artist now, can you please stop making a fuss?"
After reprimanding Deidara, Sasori began to scrutinize Naruto. Naruto wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Sasori's gaze was strange.
At the same time, Naruto was also examining Sasori, who was lying on the ground. To be precise, Sasori was currently using Hiruko's puppet.
Thinking this through, Naruto's gaze towards Sasori shifted to one of inquiry and scrutiny, and at the same time, a very immature guess appeared in his mind.
Do you think Sasori's true form might actually be inside Hiruko, powered by Hiruko's feet?
However, Naruto did not ask such a rude question directly.
"You're very interesting."
Sasori left with those words and then departed with Deidara.
"Let's go, Deidara, we still have to report on our mission."
Watching the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, Naruto was somewhat confused, not understanding why he had said such a thing, but he still nodded sensibly and didn't say anything more.
"Let's go, Zhuzi, let's go for a walk?"
Ignoring the two who had already walked away, Naruto wanted to go out and check the situation in the vicinity. He wanted to see if any other Akatsuki members were on their way.
Having made up his mind, he left Amegakure with Sasuke. Now, let's turn to another story.
On the other side, Nagato listened to the two people in front of her report on the mission. She looked at them with a helpless expression, worried that they would suddenly start arguing. After all, the two of them had often had big arguments because of their different ideas before. She didn't expect that the two of them would be so quiet today.
Something's not right, absolutely not right. Pain's Deva Path, controlled by Nagato, was staring strangely at the two unusually quiet people before him. Why were they so quiet today?
"What's wrong, Chief? Is there something on my face?"
Deidara, feeling somewhat awkward being stared at like that by Pain's Deva Path, finally spoke up to ask a question.
Pain's Deva Path without explaining. He attributed the two's unusual behavior today to the fact that they had already had enough of their antics, which was why they were so quiet. What he didn't know was that the two had already encountered Naruto before they came in, and had been completely shocked by Naruto's words.
Right now, the two of them just want to deal with the leader as quickly as possible, and then go find Naruto so they can have a deep discussion about art.
As for Naruto and Sasuke, whom they were looking for, they had already left Amegakure to intercept their other colleagues.
" Naruto, do we really think we'll run into other Akatsuki members like this? And what do you want with them anyway?"
Sasuke didn't understand Naruto's purpose at all. He thought, "Why would I seek out these people when I have nothing to talk about with them?" But since it was Naruto's choice, Sasuke would support him unconditionally.
"It's alright, of course I'll chat with them. In that world, didn't you see your brother in the Akatsuki? Don't you want to know who that guy who partnered with your brother is?"
Seeing that Sasuke wasn't interested, Naruto continued to drop more bombshells.
"And you probably don't know, that guy has a crush on your brother..."
