"What do you mean?"
"You insult my friend because he's honest?"
Deidara walked over, indignant.
Su Mu ignored Deidara and turned to the crowd, "Everyone, the story of 'A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella' concludes here today."
"I hope you don't get drunk because the story is too sad!"
"See you next time!"
With that, Su Mu turned and walked off the high platform.
"What kind of person is that?"
"Let's go, A Fei!"
Deidara, still lost in thought about Su Mu's words, dragged A Fei out of the tavern.
As they stepped out, a beautiful flute melody drifted from inside the tavern.
Listening intently, the tune carried a melancholic air, making the story of 'A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella' even more unforgettable for everyone.
Looking up, they saw Su Mu sitting on the railing, mournfully playing a song called 'A Love Before Time.'
When emotions run deep, one is alone; the listeners below the tavern felt a profound sense of loneliness.
Accompanied by the flute's notes, endless memories began to cycle within their hearts.
Zilai, who had been recording the story, was also stunned by this sudden melody.
"Such a song truly touches the soul..."
"Desolate as the sea, love and hate irreconcilable."
Outside the tavern, A Fei listened to the flute and shook his head slightly, still unable to grasp the meaning behind Su Mu's words.
"A Fei, why are you acting so strange today?"
"Let's go!"
After Deidara's repeated calls, A Fei finally turned and slowly walked away.
On the road to Kirigakure, Deidara kept his eyes on A Fei.
He felt that A Fei had become quieter, as if something was missing.
"Ahem, A Fei, even though you're silly and not very capable every day."
"But you are my teammate now, and as your senior, I have a duty to protect you."
"If that Su Mu insulted you earlier, I'll blow up his tavern one day!"
Despite Deidara's constant reassurances, A Fei remained silent.
This made Deidara somewhat depressed.
"Senior..."
Suddenly, A Fei spoke!
Deidara's excitement surged, and he grabbed A Fei's collar: "You finally spoke!"
"I'm so hungry..."
A rumbling sound emanated from A Fei's stomach.
Deidara couldn't help but laugh: "Then let's go eat! Senior will treat!"
"Really? Thank you, Senior!"
A Fei reverted to his usual self, bouncing and skipping ahead.
Deidara sighed helplessly: "You really scared me."
On the coast along the border of Kirigakure.
Deidara and A Fei yawned lazily: "We're finally here..."
"A Fei, you go lure out the Three-Tails, and I'll handle the capture."
A Fei immediately froze, hugging himself in fear: "Senior, didn't you say you would protect me?"
"If I go lure out the Three-Tails, what if I get eaten!"
Deidara casually waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'll be right behind you. If you really get eaten, I'll dig you out of the Three-Tails' belly!"
"So, Senior has already prepared for me to be eaten..." A Fei felt like crying.
Deidara summoned a clay bird, jumped on it with a leap, and said: "It's up to you, A Fei!"
Thick fog began to rise from the sea.
The stationed ANBU ninjas of Kirigakure frowned: "It's foggy, probably caused by the Three-Tails' appearance. Record it carefully; it might induce hallucinations."
"I've never heard of that before?"
Suddenly, two ANBU ninjas turned their heads warily.
They saw Deidara standing on the giant bird, looking at them with a ferocious expression.
The two ninjas quickly leaped away from their positions, creating distance between themselves and Deidara.
"That attire, are you!"
Before the two ninjas could finish speaking, a clay spider landed on their shoulders.
A blinding white light flashed, momentarily stunning their eyes.
Then, with a boom, only their masks were left on the ground.
After dispatching the guarding ninjas, Deidara flew over the sea on his clay bird.
He took out some clay from his pouch, molded it in his hands, and instantly threw it into the seabed.
Boom!
Boom!
Huge explosions caused colossal waves to erupt from the sea.
A furious roar sounded, and the massive Three-Tails gradually emerged from the water.
Seeing A Fei standing on the water nearby, the Three-Tails unhesitatingly swung its tail at him.
"Ah!!!!"
"Senior!!!"
Bang!
A Fei twisted his body to flee but was instantly slammed into the sea by the Three-Tails' tail.
Perhaps mistaking A Fei for the one throwing bombs, the Three-Tails relentlessly pursued him.
Witnessing this, Deidara smiled with satisfaction.
He then pulled out a specially made clay bomb from his pouch and tossed it onto the sea's surface.
"With this one, the Three-Tails will definitely be injured."
"Then I'll prepare to drop the C4 Garuda, and I doubt the Three-Tails can withstand it."
"Capturing it afterwards will be significantly easier."
Having decided on his plan, Deidara calmly waited for the clay bomb he had just thrown to detonate.
Boom!
A deafening explosion echoed from the seabed.
The Three-Tails let out a pained cry and prepared to escape.
Seeing this, A Fei quickly used the ability of his right eye to appear before the Three-Tails.
"Kotoamatsukami!"
"Be immersed in the illusion..."
The Mangekyo Sharingan under the vortex mask began to spin.
At this moment, the Three-Tails suddenly froze.
The Mangekyo pattern appeared in its eyes simultaneously, and it floated onto the surface, legs in the air.
For A Fei, if the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan could control the Nine-Tails, controlling the Three-Tails would be even easier.
Seeing the Three-Tails float to the surface, Deidara exclaimed in shock: "That's it?"
"That's amazing, Senior! One hit kill!"
"You truly are the best!"
On the Three-Tails' belly, A Fei excitedly cheered towards Deidara.
At this moment, Deidara felt something was off.
He knew very well the extent of damage his specially made clay bomb could inflict.
Tailed Beasts were incredibly powerful, and their defenses were formidable.
It was impossible for just one bomb of his to achieve such an effect.
Therefore, the one who truly defeated the Three-Tails must have been A Fei?
Deidara shook his head vigorously: "No, no, A Fei doesn't seem to have any abilities..."
"Could I be overthinking things..."
With that thought, Deidara casually asked A Fei: "I forgot to ask, A Fei, what exactly are your abilities?"
"Senior, my stomach hurts, I need to poop!"
Before Deidara could respond, A Fei clutched his backside and dashed into the nearby bushes.
Deidara sighed: "Perhaps I was thinking too much."
Pffft!
A world-shattering fart erupted from the bushes.
Deidara inhaled sharply, his face contorting in an instant.
"A Fei, you bastard!"
From a distance, Deidara yelled and tumbled off the giant bird.
