Konoha Yellow Monkey: The salary is in place, and Wukage is useless!

Is Deidara stupid?
In Kizaru's view, he was not stupid; in fact, he was a genius in combat and tactical execution, a true giant in action.

However, in his daily life, this guy is definitely foolish, or rather, immature.

The incident Deidara caused this time proves his immaturity.

After receiving the message from Ebizo, Kizaru quickly arrived in the city of Rain Country. He did not meet with Deidara, but instead went to find Ebizo.

After hearing Deidara's purpose for coming and his conversation with Ebizo, Kizaru couldn't help but laugh.

After discussing Deidara and then criticizing Onoki, the former Tsuchikage and Deidara's teacher, the two finally got back to their business.

"Tell Deidara that his rank will be promoted. Kage level is impossible, but Jonin is an option. But all of this is contingent on him escaping the Navy's capture. This is a test for him. If he is captured by the Navy and we need to rescue him, then tell him to prepare to go back to being a Genin for the rest of his life."

This was Kizaru's instruction to Ebizo, and Ebizo quickly relayed it to Deidara without missing a beat.

"What?! You want me to be a genin for life?! I, Deidara, will never be captured by a mere genin! You all just watch, this time I'll not only escape the Navy's capture, but I'll also severely damage them once again!" Deidara was extremely dissatisfied with the higher-ups' lack of trust in him!
Ebizo smiled and nodded, then, out of the last vestige of his conscience, he still reminded him, "I have received intelligence that the Navy has discovered your whereabouts and is dispatching troops here."

"Let them come at me," Deidara said confidently.

Ebizo maintained his smile and continued, "This time, the leader of the team is the newly appointed Admiral Hashirama!"

Deidara's confident expression faltered slightly, but he still maintained his stubbornness and said, "Even if it were the First Hokage, I would not be defeated easily!"

After saying that, Deidara looked at the smiling, amiable "good guy" Ebizo, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't implicate you! I'll leave Amazing tonight and I promise the Navy won't find out about our relationship."

"Hide away for a while! If you really can't find anywhere to go, you can go to the Four Emperors in the New World. There, the Navy and the World Government are at their weakest," Ebizo advised as a final suggestion.

"Okay, okay," Deidara replied impatiently, turning and going into the inner room to pack up his few belongings.

By the time Deidara finished packing and was ready to leave, Ebizo, who had been standing at the door of the room, had already disappeared.

In the early hours of the morning, under the moonlight and lamplight, Kizaru and Ebizo stood on the roof of the largest casino in the rainy land, secretly watching Deidara ride the giant clay bird into the night sky.

"This kid, while he may be a bit immature, is definitely a genius when it comes to ninjutsu," Ebizo said, looking in the direction Deidara had disappeared.

“Compared to Deidara, Sasori is more outstanding and mature. If he weren’t so engrossed in scientific research, I would really like to bring him to explore this world,” Kizaru said with a smile.

Speaking of Sasori, Ebizo couldn't help but sigh. Now that Sasori's parents have been resurrected, he himself has become a leading figure in the scientific community of the Land of Light, the director of the Land of Light's Mechanical Research Institute, and the vice minister of the Land of Light's Heavy Industry Department, thanks to his outstanding puppetry skills and scientific research level. He is in a high position and has achieved great success.

Logically speaking, my sister's family should be considered happy, but people are always greedy. My sister lost her son and daughter-in-law before, and almost lost Scorpion as well, which plunged her into endless pain.

But now, the family is happy and harmonious, and Scorpion has also made a name for himself, while his older sister Chiyo still worries from time to time.

Chiyo and Ebizo were worried because Sasori's attention was entirely focused on mecha and scientific research, and he paid almost no attention to ordinary matters. According to the customs of the ninja world, he was not young anymore, and there was no sign of him dating.

Even in his daily interactions, let alone dating, Scorpion is never surrounded by women; he is always surrounded by a group of research fanatics who love mecha and heavy machinery.

If this situation continues, Scorpion may have to spend his entire life with mechs.

Thinking of this troubling matter, Ebizo instinctively looked at Kizaru and tentatively said, "Why don't you let Sasori come to this world for a bit of fun?"

Kizaru turned his head and looked at Ebizo with some surprise.

Haihai Laozang explained, "Scorpion is old enough to be dating; he can't spend his whole life with a mecha!"

Kizaru instantly understood; it was his elders pressuring him to get married! He couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Sasori facing the same pressure, and his smile grew even wider. Finally, under Ebizo's somewhat helpless gaze, he "comforted" him by saying, "Think about it from another angle. With Sasori's current progress, maybe he can create a mechanical girlfriend for himself in the future."

Ebizo initially thought Kizaru was teasing him, but upon closer examination, he gasped in shock. What Kizaru was saying might actually become a reality in the future. He hurriedly said, "How can this be? Sasori is a living, breathing person. How can he be with a mechanical woman?"

"Simple!" Kizaru said with a smile, "Just transform Sasori into a robot as well, then they won't be human anymore."

Ebizo's face darkened. If he could beat Kizaru, he would have at least taught this mute bastard a lesson!
But in his helplessness, he thought about it again and then took a deep breath. Considering the forbidden technique "Human Puppet Technique" left behind by the village, Scorpion might actually be able to transform himself into a robot and then create a robot girlfriend for himself.

Ebizo imagined the future, when he and his sister Chiyo were living out their old age in their new house in Konoha, and Sasori, transformed into a robot, descended from the sky with his robot girlfriend, flames shooting from his back. Then the two of them called out in cold, mechanical voices, "Grandma, Uncle."

This scene is truly... truly enough to make the older woman pass away instantly.

Feeling a chill run down his spine, Ebizo looked at Kizaru with tense eyes and hurriedly said, "No, Kizaru! Lord Kizaru! Please issue an order immediately to force Sasori to stop his research. Whether he comes to this world to take an adventure or causes trouble like Deidara, he should not stay in the laboratory every day."

Seeing Ebizo's reaction, Kizaru knew that the old man was deliberately scared by his teasing. He maintained his smile and said, "Forcing him won't work. You have to find a way to make Sasori interested in coming to the pirate world. Only by replacing Sasori's research with something else that interests him can you divert his attention."

"But what in this world is there that would interest Scorpion?" Ebizo asked with a worried expression.

Kizaru smiled confidently and said slowly, "With so many Devil Fruits in this world, there must be one that suits Sasori. Perhaps you can find one or two that will pique Sasori's interest. In addition, the technology in this world is very advanced. Vegapunk, who is known as the smartest man on the sea, has mastered the advanced technology of the next five hundred years. If you can find him, perhaps you can arouse Sasori's interest."

Kizaru was just giving a couple of examples to see if he could further motivate Ebizo and exploit his labor.

As expected, Ebizo took the bait and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and muttered to himself, "This matter must be taken seriously. I will go back and write to my sister to tell her to keep an eye on Scorpion."

After saying that, Ebizo ignored Kizaru beside him, leaped off the roof, and headed straight for the office inside the casino.

Kizaru didn't care about Ebizo's outburst. Instead, he was looking forward to seeing how Ebizo, under his anxiety, would team up with Chiyo and Sasori's parents to pressure Sasori into marriage, and how Sasori would respond.

Of course, that's a story for later. What's attracting Kizaru's attention now is how Deidara, that idiot, will escape from Hashirama's clutches.

The following day, Deidara left the rainy place under the cover of night and did not go far. Instead, he went to a deserted island not far from the Alabasta Kingdom and lay in ambush.

Although Deidara was somewhat arrogant, he was by no means conceited. He knew that it would be difficult for him to defeat the Navy fleet led by the First Hokage on his own, but running away would be even less in line with his temperament.

Therefore, Deidara planned to ambush the navy on their route to the Kingdom of Alabasta, deliver a big gift to the fleet, and then use his high-speed flight ability to escape.

In this way, Deidara wouldn't be seen as a coward who chose to hide quietly because of the strength of the Navy Admirals, but as a winner who successfully withdrew after directly provoking the Navy, and his fame would inevitably go further on the high seas.

Deidara had already planned his next move. After provoking the Navy and withdrawing, he would head to the New World. He didn't intend to join any of the Four Emperors, but rather to build his own pirate crew in the New World based on his own reputation.

Once he has assembled his team, Deidara will inevitably return to the first half of the Grand Line. At that time, he will not only rob the World Government of its celestial treasures, but he will also form a guerrilla force to sabotage all the supply ships bound for Mary Geoise, leaving the World Government guys without a single bite to eat, forcing the Navy to inhale their exhaust fumes every day, and be reprimanded by World Government officials.

This was the plan Deidara had prepared for himself. He hadn't told anyone. He planned to present this great gift to the World Government and the East Blue at the same time. He refused to believe that with such merit, he, Deidara, couldn't earn a Kage-level rank.

With what he considered a perfect plan, the confident Deidara began to wait patiently. He released many clay birds to guard the air and monitor the nearby flight path at all times.

After waiting until the afternoon, Deidara finally met his target: a massive naval fleet consisting of five steel warships.

Upon detecting the presence of the navy, Deidara did not hesitate at all. He rode his clay bird and soared into the sky. He had prepared a large number of clay bombs for today's ambush.

On the high seas, Hashirama's flagship led the fleet, with the admiral standing on the deck, wearing a cloak of justice, gazing into the distance.

He had already informed Kizaru about the operation to capture Deidara, and Kizaru's reply was only one sentence: "Go all out." (End of Chapter)
