Chapter 173 » The Showdown Between Two Artists! Art is Eternal Vs Art is an Explosion!
"Wow! Oh my goodness! Is this really the ANBU office building of the Mist Village? Holy cow! It's so magnificent! Hmm!"
Upon seeing the most impressive building in Kiri, Deidara was left stunned from afar. Gazing at such a grand and magnificent ANBU building, he was speechless for a long moment.
It was truly shocking! Like a building cast from steel, it soared into the clouds. Each department functioned like an incredibly precise machine, constantly working.
"Deidara. Lord Yusuke's new underling." Kisame, with an expressionless face, led the blond boy to the second floor. After seeing Mei, he quickly brought him to her.
"Hello, Big Sis-in-law!"
Upon seeing her, Deidara immediately recalled what Yusuke had told him before: the brown-haired woman was his main wife — the Big Sis-in-law among all the sisters-in-law!
"Deidara? The explosion genius. A master of the Explosion Release. Welcome to our Kiri ANBU." Mei said with a smile upon seeing him.
Her heart was especially touched when he called her "Big Sis-in-law".
"Who are these two?" At this moment, Kisame had already noticed Kakuzu and Sasori sitting in the seats to the side. His gaze immediately turned dangerous.
He had already discovered the clothes they were wearing — none other than the red cloud patterned robes! Only one organization possessed this type of clothing: the Akatsuki!
These two were members of the Akatsuki!
"They've been waiting here for over a day already, waiting for Lord Yusuke's instructions." Mei said slowly, "Kakuzu and Sasori from the Akatsuki. One from Takigakure, one from Sunagakure. Moreover, both are S-rank missing-nin on the run. They've chosen to defect to our village. Whether it's true or false, we don't know. For now, I've already had Mabui notify Lord Yusuke and soon, we'll be able to have him come in person to make a decision."
In fact, she wasn't worried at all about whether these two would cause trouble.
You should know, this is the ANBU headquarters of Kirigakure! Among all the hidden villages in the entire ninja world, it's the most heavily guarded place! Once you step in here, without receiving orders from Yusuke, you should never think about leaving!
Not to mention the hundreds of Half-Kage ninja troops guarding this place, plus the elite ninjas inside the building. No one could hope to leave here safely!
"Sasori of the Red Sand? I've heard of you." Deidara approached Sasori and Kakuzu.
He carefully examined the redheaded man before him, then grinned.
"I hear you're very confident in your art, huh! Hmm! If we get the chance, we could have a little contest. I'll let you know what true art is."
Art?
Upon hearing the word "art", Sasori, sitting in his chair, immediately brightened up! He looked with interest at Deidara, who was about the same height as him.
"You understand art too?"
"Are you kidding!" Deidara replied with a confident smile, "In this world, no one understands art better than I do!"
At this moment, the curiosity on Sasori's face grew even stronger.
"Tell me. What's your understanding of art?"
"My understanding of art?" Deidara laughed, "My understanding of art is naturally very profound!"
He was telling the truth!
Especially after seeing Yusuke's Six Paths Explosive Sphere — able to turn hundreds of kilometers of rocky area directly into a sea of lava! This level of artistic achievement had far surpassed the limits of what he could comprehend.
Moreover! He also knew this pinnacle of art wasn't even Yusuke's peak. He had only used two or three tenths of his power! If he were to go all out... Probably the entire country would turn into scorched earth!!
Thinking of this, Deidara started to fantasize and became even more excited.
"Hey, boy... Are you even listening to what I'm saying?" Seeing the blond boy suddenly fall into a state of self-indulgence, Sasori immediately lost interest.
"My understanding of art is naturally explosion! In that instant of a massive explosion, art materializes before your eyes! Art is an explosion!" Deidara proclaimed, expressing his innermost understanding of art.
After hearing his perspective, a look of disappointment — or was it? — appeared on Sasori's face.
"You call that art? It seems you truly don't understand what art is. And here I had some expectations for you." A deep look of helplessness crossed his features.
Sure enough! No one understands his art. No one can truly comprehend his artistic vision!
"Oh? What's your understanding of art?" Deidara asked, tilting his head curiously.
"Art? Art is eternal, of course! Only by becoming everlasting can something truly be a work of art!" Sasori declared with a somewhat obsessed look, "Art is an eternal existence!"
"Wrong!" Deidara immediately retorted, frowning, "Art is the moment of explosion!"
"Art is eternal!" Sasori insisted.
