Naruto: If I ask you to kill Sasuke, you will become a succubus?

I had been planning on going to the thick fog after I dealt with Deidara to confirm whether Zabuza and Haku were fighting, but as soon as I turned my gaze in that direction, Deidara seemed to see what I was thinking.

"Hey, I agree to give up the mission. But if you interfere with Brother Scorpion's mission, that's another matter."

...Is that really a scorpion over there?

I was a little confused: "Are your missions different from Scorpion's?"

"It's different. My mission is to blow up the bridge, and Brother Scorpion's mission is to kill Zabuza and his men."

"Why do you want to kill Zabuza? He is hired by Cardo just like you guys?"

"How should I know? Anyway, that guy Cardo wants us to kill him."

"…Is it possible that Cardo wants you to kill each other? If both of you lose, he won't have to pay you?"

"Both sides will suffer?" Deidara disagreed: "Brother Scorpion is very strong!"

"Don't underestimate Zabuza and Haku. Didn't you underestimate me before, which is why you fell for me so easily?"

When this was mentioned, Deidara flew into a rage, "Who would have thought that you would also have a Sharingan!! Huh?!"

"Shiro... also has a bloodline limit."

Deidara frowned, "That guy Cardo..."

"I didn't tell you anything, did I? He was trying to trick you!"

"You're obviously trying to sow discord."

"Then aren't you worried about your companions? Maybe your big brother Scorpion is at a disadvantage right now."

Deidara: "..."

"Let's go together, and then you go and persuade your companions to give up the mission."

"Brother Scorpion is not someone who is easily persuaded."

"Then you will have to face me." I said to Deidara, "I said before that my eye technique is distortion. What if I distort Scorpion's perception and make him regard you as an enemy?"

Deidara's face was gloomy: "...Sharingan, it's really annoying!"

"But deep down you still like it and envy it. You just hate it because you don't have it, right?"

"Shut up!" He said coldly, "If you control Brother Scorpion, then I won't have anything to worry about. Don't think I don't have a way to deal with the Sharingan... Even if we can't win, we can definitely die together! Hmm!"

"I believe you," I said, "because you are a talented artist."

Deidara was stunned: "You..."

"Let's go!"

I took the lead and rushed towards the direction of the thick fog. I heard Deidara standing there hesitating for a while, but finally followed me.

Soon, we reached the edge of the thick fog. If we took one more step forward, the visibility would be so low that we could hardly see our hands in front of us.

I took a step inside to feel it, then immediately stepped out.

With this kind of visibility, it would be too unfair if you rashly barged in and were mistaken for an enemy and killed by Zabuza. Moreover, it might also attract Scorpion's attention.

The most powerful weapons of a puppeteer are mechanisms and poisons. I don’t want to be hit by hidden weapons in the fog and be poisoned.

I looked at Deidara, "Can you summon the big bird you rode earlier and fan the fog away?"

"..."

"Can you do Wind Escape? I'm not very good at it... I suddenly feel that Wind Escape is very useful. If I had known this, I would have practiced more..."

"...Don't act like you know me so well!"

"Eh...but we...can be considered to have known each other, right?"

Memory is the most private part of a person.

When two strangers meet, because they don't know each other, misunderstandings will arise, they will feel wary, and they will keep their distance.

And once they get to know each other, they share their memories with each other.

As the understanding grows, two people will begin to create shared memories together.

So memory and emotion are very closely connected.

I've been into Deidara's memories, and even though he didn't actively share them with me, I still got to know him.

Once you understand it, you will naturally feel familiar with it.

Once you become familiar with him, you will let go of your hostility, reduce your vigilance, and know when he is not a threat.

However, he still didn't understand me.

This asymmetry in intelligence will result in me being able to act with ease, while he still has to be vigilant and alert.

Deidara said: "It's just the extent of 'knowing there is such a person'!"

"Don't all relationships start with 'knowing that there is such a person'? How the relationship will be in the future depends on how you get along with each other." I said, "You like Sharingan very much, right? As long as you use the bird to carry me upstairs to confirm the situation, I will open the Sharingan for you to appreciate, how about it? You will never find a chance to appreciate the Sharingan anywhere else - do you think Uchiha Itachi will let you appreciate it? Or Uchiha Sasuke? They will only fight with you, but I am different. I will not hurt you, nor will I attack you. I will open the Sharingan and you can look at it however you want. How about it?"

"...I don't like writing lunatics!"

"Although you don't admit it, we all know that you actually like the Sharingan very much."

"That's not your fault!!!"

...He really does like the Sharingan. And he actually admitted it now... So fast!

"Okay, okay, then in order to defeat Uchiha Itachi, do you want to seize the opportunity and collect more information about the Sharingan?"

"..."

Deidara frowned, put his hands together, rubbed his palms together for a moment, and then with a "bang", he threw out a big clay bird.

"Thank you, Deidara! My Sharingan says it's very grateful for your love! No one has ever loved it so much before!"

Deidara jumped onto the big bird in a rage: "This is all to gather information about the Sharingan!"

I quickly jumped up and sat behind him.

He turned his head and glared at me: "Who allowed you to sit behind me? I won't show you my back without any worries!"

"It's not impossible for me to sit in front of you, but I'm worried that I might fall off... If I sit in front, can I stick the chakra line on you?"

"Tsk! Forget it, just sit in the back!"

The big bird took off, and floating in the air for a moment brought a feeling of weightlessness. The big bird's back was smooth and round, and there was no place to fix its body, so I had to grab Deidara's clothes on the back.

...Hmm? The fabric of Akatsuki's robe feels very soft and silky to the touch. From my experience working part-time at a kimono shop, could it be genuine silk?

Using silk as uniforms! So classy!

This special pattern should be custom-woven and custom-dyed, right? I wonder which factory they cooperated with to produce the fabric...

When I think about the fact that the fabrics sold in Konoha's kimono shops might be produced by the same manufacturer as the Akatsuki robes, I feel a subtle sense of confusion.

Soon, the big bird hovered above the thick fog and flapped its wings, blowing away all the fog.

I saw what was previously hidden—

There were several broken puppets lying on the ground. Judging from the situation, they must have been chopped into pieces by Zabuza's sword.

But Zabuza's sword was stuck in the ground at this moment, and he knelt on the ground, relying on the sword to avoid falling down.

Not far away, the white magic mirror ice crystals surrounded a hunched man wearing a Xiao robe.

His whole body was covered with long white needles, and he looked like a hedgehog, but not a drop of blood flowed out.

The scroll said that Scorpion's hunched appearance was also a puppet in disguise. His true self was hidden inside, and his weakness was the "core" in his chest.

The puppeteer's mechanisms, poisons and chakra strings are ineffective against Bai, who can hide in the mirror.

His bloodline limit trapped Scorpion's body. As long as I told him Scorpion's weakness, once Bai inserted the long needle into Scorpion's "core", this genius puppeteer would die.

Scorpion obviously also understood that his situation was not good. He was negotiating with Bai: "If you continue to trap me here, the man will soon die of the poison. Don't you want to exchange the antidote with me to save him?"

Zabuza said weakly but sternly, "You are not allowed to cancel your jutsu! Shiro...! Kill him...!"

The sudden dissipation of the thick fog and the strong wind blowing from the sky attracted everyone's attention. Sasori looked up and saw Deidara, while Zabuza and Haku saw me.

Deidara and I sat together, which obviously surprised everyone.

"Deidara? What are you doing?"

“朝露？”
