Naruto: I didn't say this is the real Hokage.

In order to explain to the three people that he was not the one who awakened the Conqueror's Haki, Naruto had to persuade Lazy Sheep, who had been staying in his own consciousness space, to come out and meet everyone.

Fortunately, Nagato and Konan had a good mentality and did not feel frustrated that a sheep with almost zero strength was able to awaken the Conqueror's Haki before them.

The two of them just kept sighing that the world is so big and full of wonders.

I never thought that I would see a sheep that can walk upright on two feet, speak human language, and eat snacks in this life.

Well, I have learned a lot.

It seemed like that was the end of the matter, except...

"Naruto, I want some potato chips!"

"No more. You've already eaten all your snacks for today."

"No, I want more!"

"No."

"You really don't want to give it?"

"No!"

Lazy Sheep immediately got out of Naruto's consciousness space and ran to Whitebeard to complain.

"Help, Dad!

Naruto has cut back on my food, and the sheep are going to starve to death~"

That’s right, Lazy Sheep became the third son that Whitebeard had in the Naruto world after Naruto and JIZHIHUAN.

To a certain extent, my lazy brother has become Naruto's half-brother.

Naruto: (ー ー゛)…

Naruto suddenly felt that his younger brother, Jizhuzi, was quite good. At least he wouldn't come to complain to Whitebeard every day just because of a bag of snacks...

……

About another week passed, and Naruto, who had been waiting for a long time, finally received good news.

Sasori returned with Deidara.

Deidara is one of the indispensable talents in the "Akatsuki Organization Business Plan Version 1.0" formulated by Naruto.

His arrival also means that the tasks issued by the system can be started.

Naruto was so excited when he heard the news that he didn't even bother to put on his shoes. He ran barefoot all the way to the meeting room of Akatsuki.

As soon as he entered the door of the conference room, Naruto's eyes were locked on the figure hiding behind Scorpion, who was much taller than him.

"Deidara, little Deidara! I've finally got you here~"

Naruto was so excited that he bypassed Scorpion and gave the figure a big, passionate hug.

But as he held it, Naruto felt something seemed wrong.

[Hmm? Is Deidara's waist that thin? And these legs... are so long...]

Naruto raised his head and glanced upwards tentatively, then froze again.

[Black hair? Isn't Deidara a yellow-haired guy?! ]

"hentai~!!!"

Before Naruto could figure out what went wrong, the person he was hugging slapped him hard in the face out of shame and anger.

This slap not only made Naruto involuntarily loosen his hands and take two steps back, but also made him completely confused.

When he finally came to his senses, Naruto realized that the person he had just hugged was not the yellow-haired Xiaodi he had been thinking about, but a very beautiful little loli with short black hair.

Although this little loli is still young, Naruto is 100% sure that she is the one in his memory -

The fourth Tsuchikage and first Leg Shadow, Kurotsuchi.

……

Naruto turned his head and looked at Scorpion in disbelief.

[What do you mean?]

We asked you to bring Deidara back to the organization, but you kidnapped the daughter of the Third Tsuchikage?!

By the way, why didn't Ohnoki fuck you to death in the Land of Earth? !

...Are you really not afraid that Ōnoki will use his Dust Release*Original Realm Separation Technique to decompose you into atoms?

And Deidara...what about the others?

For a future leg shadow, you don't even want your best friend?!

Scorpion, I really didn't expect Uzumaki Naruto... that you would be this kind of person.

Bah~ scumbag! 】

"Uzumaki Naruto, I warn you not to look at me with such dirty eyes again! Here, the person you want."

Feeling offended by Naruto's malicious gaze, Scorpion unhappily used his tail to pull out a sack from Scarlet Amber's body and threw it on the ground.

The sack was covered with densely packed sealing symbols, and judging from its rough shape on the ground, it was most likely that there was a person inside the sack.

God knows how such a small bottle of Crimson Amber could contain the scorpion's body and such a large sack.

"Brother Deidara!"

When the little loli Kurotsuchi saw the sack being ruthlessly thrown to the ground by Scorpion, she no longer cared about being angry about Naruto's previous offensive behavior.

She hurried over to pick up the sack, tore off the seal on it in a few strokes, then quickly untied the sack and pulled out a still unconscious figure from it.

Naruto took a closer look.

Hmm...the man with yellow hair is definitely Deidara.

"No, how did it turn out like this?"

Naruto asked confused.

All signs indicate that Sasori's trip to recruit Deidara was not as smooth as everyone imagined.

"Humph~"

When it comes to this, Scorpio feels bitter.

He was in tears!

That’s right, Deidara did not have a very good life in the Iwagakure Village. Just like in the original work, he was driven out of the village to live because he often conducted blasting experiments.

In fact, Deidara had a pretty good relationship with his master Ōnoki, but he couldn't stand Ōnoki's contempt for his art, and gradually developed a grudge against him.

Scorpion knew this little thing, and he planned to use it as a breakthrough to persuade Deidara to join the Akatsuki organization.

Sasori originally thought that since they were all artists, it would not be difficult for him to successfully recruit Deidara because of their mutual admiration for each other.

But unexpectedly, after the two met, Deidara said:

“Even if I have grudges, it’s not a big deal if you ask me to betray the village.

But you can betray the village, but there must be a prerequisite - you must beat me in art!"

scorpion:?_?……

I remember there was a similar story in the original novel.

If it wasn't for Uchiha Itachi using his Mangekyō Sharingan to easily defeat Deidara, he would have accepted the defeat and joined the Akatsuki organization...

Maybe in the later stages of the Ninja World War, the representative of the Tsuchikage Village will not be Ōnoki, but the fourth Tsuchikage Deidara.

Then the scorpion's claws became numb.

Although they are both artists,

But one is playing with puppets, and the other is doing blasting, so there is no necessary restraint relationship between them at all;

In addition, since they were outside the Tsuchigakure Village, Sasori didn't dare to make too much noise, so he could only fight Deidara in a small fight.

Ten days later,

Sasori would go and fight with Deidara almost every day, and then try his best to persuade him to return to the Akatsuki organization with him.

As the fight went on, the two artists developed feelings for each other, and their friendship steadily improved day by day.

However, the two of them didn't want to make a big fuss, so they ended up fighting evenly every time, and Scorpion's attempts to persuade them failed to achieve the desired effect.

Until this day, Sasori, who had just done something, started his daily persuasion on Deidara again.

"Xiao Di, just listen to my advice.

With your talent, if you still stay in this small piece of land of Iwagakure Village, you will never be able to use your talents.

Akatsuki is a good place for you to show your talents.

The members of our organization are all talented, speak well, and never look at others with tinted glasses...

Xiao Di, we are all artists, trust me, Brother Scorpion won’t harm you…”

Deidara was very touched, but still shook his head and refused as usual.

"Brother Scorpion, I believe you.

But as a pure artist, there is only one purpose in doing anything - to improve one's art.

If you fail to defeat me and prove that your art is better than mine, and at the same time fail to prove that your organization can help me improve my artistic qualities, then I have no reason to go with you.

……

How about you ask your organization to send someone who can defeat me?

I, Deidara, promise that if I lose, I will immediately follow you and join your organization."

Scorpion: (ー ー゛)...

If I had known he was coming, I should have dragged Uchiha Itachi along.

Just when their conversation reached a deadlock as usual, a sweet call suddenly sounded from behind them.

"Brother Deidara~

I'm looking at you again!

Eh? !

Uncle, you look so weird...

Who are you? Why haven't I seen you in the village?"

Kurotsuchi pounced behind Deidara, wrapped his arms around his neck very naturally, turned to look at Scorpion and asked in confusion.

“Haha, it’s you, Heitu.

The guy next to me is called Scorpion, and he’s my new friend.

And you can't call him uncle, I call him Brother Scorpion, you have to call him brother like me."

"Oh, hello, Brother Scorpion."

Scorpio vaguely smelled the sour smell of love, and then a bold idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Hey~ hello, little sister."

Scorpion responded enthusiastically, then turned to look at Deidara.

"Deidara, who is this cute little sister?"

"Oh, her name is Heitu. She is my junior apprentice sister... and also the granddaughter of my master, the old man."

"What? This little sister is actually your junior sister, and the granddaughter of the Third Tsuchikage?!"

The scorpion let out a strange cry in mock surprise.

"Then she must be very important to the Tsuchiguku Village... and to you too..."

“Of course… what the hell?!

Brother Scorpion, what are you doing? ! "

Fei Liupo's tail had been tightly wrapped around Heitu's body at some point, with the sharp tip of the tail pressing against Heitu's forehead.

Kurotsuchi, who was unable to speak because his mouth was blocked by the tail:

?_?? ? ? → ??^??……

"Xiao Di, don't blame me. I really have no other choice..."

Scorpion threw out a sack.

"You know."

Deidara: (???) !!!

……

“That’s how I sealed Deidara in a sack.

Who knew that when I was about to leave,

This girl refused to let me go and kept crying and begging me to return her brother Deidara to him.

I promised Deidara before not to hurt this girl;

He was also worried that if he left despite her objections, she would run back to the Hidden Rock Village and call out Ōnoki...

So I brought her back with me.

The little girl was quite cooperative along the way. She even told me which way to take when leaving the Land of Earth so as not to be discovered by the patrol team..."

Scorpion said so.

After hearing the entire incident, everyone present felt mixed emotions.

"He's also a lovesick person~"

Naruto sighed.

It seems that Xiaodi’s future marriage can be booked in advance.
