Chapter 266 Caught in the act

It’s hard to say whether it’s art or not, but the explosion was really an explosion.

With the sound of explosions, a huge bright light appeared in the night sky.

"What Iwagakure Village?"

"What is this? Is this also an official preparation?"

"An Easter egg? This should be an Easter egg."

As the explosion occurred, not only people on the street, but even people in the buildings followed suit and stuck their heads out to find out what was going on.

After seeing the bright light produced by the explosion in the air and the information conveyed by it, they judged that it was something that the Yuyue Store and the preparatory team had specially prepared for them to see.

——Only Ugetsu and the others knew that this was entirely the personal behavior of the Iwagakure Village...or the person who shouted "Cheering is an explosion".

But then again…

"Does that voice sound familiar?"

"Does this sound like a familiar question..."

Uchiha Shisui sighed helplessly, and almost at the moment of the explosion, he hugged Yu Yue in his arms to protect her.

"That kid should be a contestant from Iwagakure Village who participated in the Sugar Syrup Competition. His name is Deidara."

"Ahh, that child."

When it comes to Yu Yue, I have some impression of her.

"The boy who got serious with Itachi?"

After Shisui described it, Ugetsu remembered.

"The blond one?"

"Yes."

Uchiha Shisui confirmed Ugetsu's words.

"He still has this ability..."

This is really unexpected.

Is this the time to lament about this?

But when I thought that this was Miss Yu Yue, it seemed normal.

Rather than unexpected accidents, we care more about talents that can be obtained through qualified opportunities.

"It's probably some kind of bloodline limit."

Uchiha Shisui thought about the relevant information.

"I just didn't expect it to be used in this way."

"This proves that ninjas still have a lot of potential to be tapped."

Yu Yue clapped her hands happily.

Just like today, if we can achieve this level, then are we still worried that we won’t be able to create more artistic fireworks in the future?

Yes, yes, explosions and fireworks are indeed different.

But since it works, why do you care whether what’s exploding in the sky is a bomb or fireworks?

…

However, no matter how happy we are, safety should still be the priority in such emergencies.

"Let's go back."

Although there are still a few seals that have not been collected, things must always be prioritized.

Ugetsu said, waving the card in his hand that only had a few stamps on it.

"Won't you go back after you have gathered everything?"

Uchiha Shisui saw how happy Ugetsu was earlier.

The boy turned his gaze away from the direction of the explosion in the distance.

Honestly speaking, compared to these things that are destined to be managed and responsible by others, Miss Ugetsu's interests are of course more important.

Normally she is always surrounded by various tasks. Although Miss Ugetsu herself does not show dissatisfaction, it is not enough for Uchiha Shisui.

He wished he could do more for her.

...and I also hope that she can become happier and more blessed.

Of course, it would be best if all this joy and happiness were obtained through one’s own efforts.

But because of this, when encountering such unexpected situations that disturb Yu Yue's good mood, the boy is always particularly annoyed.

There was anger about the incident itself, but the most important thing was that these problems were not resolved in time so that Miss Yu Yue could be in a good mood.

——If I had the same power as Uchiha Madara-sama, perhaps things would be different.

Than being taken care of.

Uchiha Shisui has always been the one who prefers to take the initiative to take care of others.

This tendency is particularly obvious when facing someone you care about and value.

Ugetsu looked at Uchiha Shisui, whose expression didn't change much, but one could clearly feel that he was unhappy.

He shook his head with some surprise and helplessness.

"There's no rush."

The main reason for coming here to play is to relax and kill time.

Although the project is interesting, it is not to the extent that she has to do it or play with it.

Since there are more important things now, of course we should give priority to things here.

"But doesn't Miss Ugetsu want to collect all those seals?"

The boy's frustrated eyes fell on the card in Ugetsu's hand, on which only part of the seal had been changed.

"Hmm? This one."

Seeing this, Yu Yue calmly shook the card in her hand.

"I kind of want to, but I don't think it's a pity that I can't collect them all.

A rare experience? "

She said and shrugged.

"Perhaps this regret will be remembered for a longer time than if we had collected them all at once."

After all, most of the time, people are thinking about things they haven't got yet.

"Shisui feels the same, right? And we both did it together... maybe we'll still talk about this in ten or twenty years."

"Since Miss Yu Yue said so."

I don’t know if he was convinced by the future described by Yu Yue, or if he felt that Yu Yue had made up her mind and didn’t want to go against her wishes.

The boy had no choice but to surrender and do as the other party wanted.

"…But next time this happens, I hope Miss Ugetsuki will have more faith in our abilities."

However, obedience was obedience, and the boy still spoke seriously.

"We are ninjas, and it is part of our job to protect Miss Ugetsu so she can do what she loves without worrying."

"So I hope that if this happens again in the future , I... we hope that Miss Ugetsuki can focus on herself and continue with her own affairs."

This was the young man's heartfelt wish.

There is not a trace of hypocrisy.

“Yes, yes.”

Yu Yue was unaware of his presence and responded with a smile.

"Then let's go back."

Looking at the white hand stretched out in front of him, this time it was Uchiha Shisui who was stunned.

Then he held Yu Yue back.

"Well, let's go back."

On the other side, Deidara, who had completed the village's commission, was preparing to return home.

Deidara was very happy to do this mission which not only demonstrated the village's strength but also showed off his own explosion.

In fact, the village's original intention was just "you should make as big a noise as possible to attract more attention" - after all, Deidara's bloodline limit can not only control the range and power of the explosion, but also "customize" the sound.

What they wanted mainly was the sound of the explosion.

But the mission is handed over to Deidara...then how to make this "moment" is up to him, right?

It would be so boring if it just made a loud noise.

Since the Iwagakure Village has decided to do it, of course they have to give people some "Shock from the Iwagakure Village".

And people are either shocked or astonished by the results they have caused.

He looked happy , and there was also a hint of pride in his heart.

Look, how beautifully I did this job.

To promote the players from one's own ninja village while being able to intimidate others... Can anyone else do this!

It really has to be me!

The boy's thought was not entirely arrogant.

As one of the very few ninjas who possessed the ability to fly, he believed that no one else except himself could be so flexible in making an explosion occur anywhere.

The boy turned around happily.

…and then, he was caught.

Although most ninjas don't have the means to fly.

But this does not mean that they have no air combat capability at all.

Some ninjas even developed special techniques to deal with aerial enemies in order to make up for this weakness.

I thought these specially trained and targeted techniques would have to be sealed as world peace came...but I didn't expect them to come in handy so soon.

Deidara: The smile gradually disappears.jpg

Although Deidara had a rebellious temperament, before he made up his mind to rebel against the ninja village, no matter how arrogant he was, he would not challenge the security team of the "Dubbing Contest" composed of three ninja villages + individual businesses by himself.

——That’s not challenging the limits, it’s just plain stupidity.

This was also the reason why when Yu Yue saw him in the office, he was not tied up but was only escorted in.

If the child is obedient, there is naturally no need for severe punishment.

They are more or less aware that as adults they should not bully children.

"I didn't cause any danger! I deliberately chose a deserted place to explode! Hmm!"

When he saw Ugetsu, Deidara immediately started to cry out in grievance.

"Although you have considered this, the safety hazard does not include being directly injured by the explosion. Have you ever considered that because of your explosion, the people at the scene were frightened and eventually turned into a stampede?"

"this……"

Deidara's brain, which was proud of his actions, calmed down as if it was sprayed with cold water.

He hadn't really thought about this kind of thing.

Even though he was still a child, he was a ninja after all, and had successfully upgraded after passing the Chunin Exam.

Certainly, some explosions or unexpected situations would not trigger his fear.

But he forgot that this was not a ninja village - not everyone was as bold as him.

The boy, who was not a bad person by nature and whose behavior today was just to show off his abilities and ideas, immediately shrank his neck.

"I...I just want to support the contestants from Iwagakure..."

Just like Gaara from the Sand Village, other ninja villages also have some contestants participating in the competition.

Although they are not necessarily all ninjas, they are born in a ninja village and are naturally part of the ninja village.

"There's nothing wrong with this idea, but why not report it in advance so people can be prepared?"

"…I'm sorry, I didn't think it through… Yeah."

Faced with Yu Yue who did not scold him harshly but explained to him in a calm tone, the boy rarely lowered his head and apologized proactively.

"I was wrong."

"Do you accept the punishment?"

"Of course."

Deidara raised his head upon hearing this.

"Of course, I will be responsible for all the troubles and problems that I have caused."

"I'm not the irresponsible type... eh!"

"good."

After hearing what he said, Yu Yue simply gave the order for punishment.

"Then prepare to take him to the moon."

“…Huh?”

Deidara thought the punishment would be a fine or solitary confinement in a small dark room - in the past, when he got into trouble in the Iwagakure Village, the most common punishment he received was the latter.

Unexpectedly, the other party not only did not do so, but also asked him to go to the moon, one of the hottest topics now.

"Although I made a mistake, your idea is still good, Deidara."

Yu Yue smiled.

"It just so happens that we feel that there is something missing in the activities on the moon, so you can make up for it."

Although there are no fireworks, there are words that can explode into the sky, which is just as cool.

Deidara:?

And before Deidara could fully digest Ugetsu's words, someone stepped forward and grabbed his shoulders.

"Then come with us."

Hmmmm?

Leaving now?

After watching Deidara leave, Ugetsu also stood up.

"Okay, let's get ready too."
