The battlefield is quiet, only the sound of the wind.

Looking at this childish man who appeared in vain, whether it was Deidara or the Red Sand Scorpion, he was a little confused about the situation for a while.

Although the person in front of him was young, the amount of chakra released by that body was really amazing. What's more, the samurai who stood quietly on the side and held a sword in his hand felt too weird.

The Red Scorpion Ben confronted Deidara, turned around at this moment, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Shikamaru, the leader of Luyin Village!"

"You're the bird shadow!"

Deidara's grinning appearance made Shikamaru a little stunned. How does this guy seem to know me?

"We just have something to ask you!"

Although he didn't know the situation, Shikamaru still said, "In that case, you can go back to the village with me first!" ”

The two looked at each other, and neither objected.

The grass and trees are forested, and the deer are chirping.

In the middle of the house, the leader of Luyin Village, Shikamaru took a sip of tea gently.

In front of him, the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara were kneeling in front of him, their faces serious.

"You're saying you want me to explain the meaning of that painting?"

"Yes, what does your painting proclaim? Is art eternal or momentary? ”

Shikamaru picked up the teacup again and took a sip. He understood that the answer to both eternity and a moment was the wrong answer, because the other might run wild.

Suddenly, Shikamaru laughed loudly, and the two of them looked at each other.

"Both of them are flawed in their art!"

"What did you say!"

At this moment, whether it was the red sand scorpion with an indifferent face, or the seemingly grinning Deidara, they were all a little angry. It seems that Shikamaru won't give up if they don't give them an explanation.

Shikamaru looked at Deidara and said, "The beauty of your Excellency's explosion art at that moment is indeed shocking, but if I am not mistaken, Your Excellency should use Tu Dun. If you come across a ninja who is good at using thunder, your excellency will not be able to play your art, right? ”

Shikamaru's snatching of whiteness not only made Deidara silent, but the red sand scorpion on the side also showed a hint of mockery on his face.

Then, Shikamaru looked at the Red Sand Scorpion and said, "Your Excellency's puppet technique is indeed amazing. However, the puppet is a dead thing after all, even if you can preserve all the strength of the puppet during its lifetime, but it is also something that has stopped growing, and it cannot be called eternal! ”

"Has it stopped growing?" The Red Sand Scorpion muttered, as if thinking about something?

Shikamaru stopped talking and let time pass. After a long time, Deidara couldn't bear it anymore, breaking the quiet atmosphere and breaking the scorpion's thoughts.

"And what exactly is your art?"

With Deidara's loud voice, the scorpion's gaze also looked at Shikamaru.

"Instant is eternal! Art will always have flaws and shortcomings, and an artist cannot be called an artist if he does not even have the vision and courage to discover the shortcomings of his artwork and improve it. ”

"Even if it is a super-first-class puppeteer, the limit of the number of puppets that can be controlled is only ten. This is a fate that no puppeteer can break. But if you make yourself a puppet, this restriction will not exist. ”

At this moment, the Red Sand Scorpion looked at Shikamaru and said, "Human existence has many flaws, but puppets are different. What many people can't do, but puppets can. Therefore, puppets are much better than people. I used to think so, but now, I've changed my mind! ”

The sound of the wind passed slowly, blowing the blue waves of the forest sea. The mountain breeze was refreshing, with a hint of coldness, which dispelled the stuffy feeling of the crowd in the chief's house.

At this moment, the red sand scorpion felt the comfort of the mountain breeze, as if he had returned to his youth, and a warm smile appeared on his face.

"Even the best puppets need people to manipulate. Only by constantly overcoming their own shortcomings can they go longer on the road of puppetry. ”

"What!" Looking at the smile on the face of the Red Sand Scorpion, Deidara pursed her lips a little unpleasantly.

........

"What the hell is this bastard Deidara doing?"

In the Tsuchikage Building, Onoki looked angry and slapped the document in his hand on the table hatefully.

Loess was a little puzzled, although Deidara was usually used to messing around, but he had never seen Onoki so angry.

"What's wrong? Tsuchikage-sama! ”

"Kazekage sent a diplomatic letter saying that they were attacked by our Iwa Shinobi on their way to hunt down the rebel Shinobi Akasand Scorpion. And that Iwa Shinobi is that bastard of Deidara! I asked him to collect information about Luyin Village, and he had nothing to do. ”

"Is this serious?"

Loess asked a little puzzled. In the past, it was very common for the major ninja villages to hack each other, as long as they didn't catch a current one, then they could say whatever they wanted.

Onoki shook his head and said, "The relationship between the major ninja villages is very delicate now. It seems to be holding each other back, but all the spearheads are slowly pointed at it because of Konoha's victory. The country of water hangs lonely overseas, and the attitude of fog forbearance is ambiguous. However, both Sand Shinobi and Cloud Ninja have more or less shown their willingness to form an alliance recently. If we can successfully form an alliance, it will be a good choice for us! But Deidara is making such a fuss now, which undoubtedly puts us at a diplomatic disadvantage. Not only that, but it will also give an excuse to the opponents within Shayin Village, which is very bad for us! ”

"That's it! Then should we summon Deidara back so that he doesn't mess around outside! ”

Loess suggested.

Onoki nodded and said, "It's okay, he is outside to make trouble!" ”

.......

Bang bang!

A huge explosion sounded, smoke and dust billowed out, and the rock wall of the mountain collapsed in an instant!

Since that day, both Dirada and the Scorpion of Akasa have recognized Shikamaru's artistic attainments.

As a rebel ninja, the Red Sand Scorpion originally had nowhere to go, so Shikamaru vigorously stayed behind to study puppet skills.

Deidara is different, he seems to like the life of eating and drinking for nothing in Luyin Village. However, Shikamaru said that it is impossible to eat and drink for nothing! For Shikamaru, Deidara's explosive art is quite useful.

"Lord Dirada, your art is truly impressive!"

A businessman-like guy walked slowly with a smile on his face. The merchant holds a mineral in his hands, which has been stagnant because it is too difficult to mine.

But now, with Dirada, it's no longer difficult. As long as it can be mined, then the silver taels will come in a steady stream, and the seemingly huge reward given to Luyin Village is really nothing.

I don't think it, the businessman's eyes are shining.

Deidara was fooled by Shikamaru to open the mountain, and her face was full of unhappiness. But now, looking at the adoring gaze in the merchant's eyes, it didn't make much sense.

"Who?"

After Deidara completed the task, he slowly walked on the path of Huiluyin Village. A Iwa Shinobi approached quickly and fell at his feet.

"Lord Deidara, Lord Tsuchikage-sama summons you back!"

"The old man looking for me? But I don't have time right now! I told him that my artistic path is still very long, and I need to practice slowly, and I can't go back to the village for the time being. ”

"But .......!"

A gust of wind blew, and before this Iwa Shinobi finished speaking, there was still the shadow of Deidara in front of him.
