'How dare he ask that?! Not only did he blow up my house, but judging by his current appearance, it seems he wants my praise!' Onoki's anger immediately erupted.
Deidara sensed something was off and looked at his Sensei.
"Ahem... Well, Sensei. How about we save the praise for later? Wait until... Wait until I develop an even more impressive work of art. Then I'll come back to you, okay?"
After saying this, he planned to make a quick getaway, having sensed the tension in the air.
"Little Dei. You blew up my house. Do you think you can just walk away like this?" Onoki was about to cough up blood!
How did he end up with such a disciple?! If it weren't for the fact that he still had some talent, he would have gotten rid of this explosion maniac long ago.
"Ahem..." Deidara scratched his head.
In his eyes, he hadn't done anything wrong. Moreover, his art was starting to get on the right track.
"Unrepentant! Come here!" Onoki said, his face darkening at Deidara's expression.
Two ninja immediately appeared around him.
"Put Deidara in solitary confinement! One month!" He waved his hand.
"Yes, Lord Tsuchikage." The two ninja immediately obeyed.
They quickly came to Deidara's side, grabbed him, and dragged him away. The little boy struggled constantly!
"Hey!! Old man! Why are you locking me up?! I didn't do anything wrong! Besides, you're the one who told me to do research here! And I've been asking you for a new place to do research for a long time! Hey!!!" Deidara's voice gradually faded away.
Onoki felt a deep sense of helplessness.
At this moment, Kurotsuchi, covered in dust and ashes, came to her Grandpa's side.
Pulling his hand, she said, "Hey, Grandpa. Don't mind senior apprentice brother, he's not right in the head."
"Sigh..." Onoki looked at his granddaughter.
At least his granddaughter still cared for him the most!
Suddenly, a shrill voice pierced the sky!
"Yusuke! Are you trying to scare me to death?! Ah! No, no, no! Too fast! Too fast! I can't take it... I'm going to be sick..."
Onoki recognized that voice — it was Tsunade's!
Tsunade?!
Dazed, he looked up, squinting. At the edge of his vision, a black shadow was rapidly descending. Onoki's pupils contracted.
Tsunade?! And beside her was... Yusuke Kamizuki!
As if jolted by a memory, Onoki quickly shielded Kurotsuchi behind him. He then fixed his gaze on the approaching shadow, his expression grave.
He'd known Yusuke would visit his village, but he never imagined the arrival would be so abrupt! He'd only received news of the visit this morning and had just finished giving instructions in the Tsuchikage's office.
He'd assumed that even at top speed, Yusuke would take a day or two to arrive. And surely, he'd send notice before coming, right?
Yet here he was, already arrived!
As the black shadow plummeted, Tsunade's screams continued to echo!
"Ahhh! Yusuke! Just wait until I'm on solid ground! I'll — Cough cough cough... Gulp gulp..." The strong wind choked Tsunade, leaving her gasping, "Yusuke Kamizuki! I swear I'm going to kill you!"
She bellowed with all her might!
Yusuke raised his eyebrows.
"Tsunade, pipe down for a moment. You've been screaming for half a day now. If you're not tired of it, I certainly am."
She clung to him tightly, "Who told you... to fly so fast!"
He said helplessly, "Isn't fast good?"
Tsunade snorted heavily. Twisting her body, she said fiercely, "I don't mean this fast!"
"…" Yusuke was speechless.
Afterwards, he slowly reduced their flying speed.
In half a day's time, starting from the Hokage's office in Konoha, they had flown all the way to the skies above Iwagakure. Yusuke sensed that currently, the strongest force in Iwagakure was only Onoki. So he chose to land here.
"Hm? Why is there smoke coming from below?" Tsunade lowered her head, looking at the billowing smoke on the ground. She couldn't help but ask curiously.
"We'll ask later." Yusuke replied, clicking his tongue.
Could it be that the other party knew in advance he was coming, so they lit a beacon here? Looking at it, it didn't seem quite right. He couldn't figure it out.
A dozen seconds later, he landed steadily on the ground. Tsunade in his arms struggled a bit.
Then she covered her mouth. In the air, she hadn't had such a strong reaction, but now, after landing, her stomach was in turmoil!
"Ugh... I can't take it. Can't take it..." She was about to vomit when she received two gentle pats on her back, "Huh?... It passed?"
"There, there. You're like a kid." Yusuke clicked his tongue. Then, he looked to the side and happened to see Onoki looking at him, "Well, well. What a coincidence."
A gentle smile appeared on his face. Then, looking at the smoking house in front of him, after a moment of silence, he asked.
"Is this your house?"
Onoki swallowed, not daring to lie.
"Ahem, yes."
Yusuke was silent for a while again.
"Is your house being demolished?"
Onoki: "..."
