It must have been the puppet animal that ran back that bumped into him.
"Shut up, it's Uchiha Sasuke who's back."
Sasori shoved the jumping Deidara away in disgust, walked out of the living room, and came to the yard where he saw Sasuke walking towards them with a cat in his arms.
"Sasuke, you're finally back! Come with me, your brother will show you the beauty of fleeting moments, the latest model I just invented..."
Deidara was much more excited to see Sasuke than Sasori was.
Moreover, this guy calls himself the older brother...
"Deidara!"
Although Itachi Uchiha was always in a bad mood, he wasn't truly without a temper.
He's actually Sasuke's older brother?
He felt it was necessary to let Deidara experience firsthand whether he could still smile when the so-called moment of bliss fell upon him!
"Ah...hahaha...um...Senior Scorpion, help me—"
Deidara was just being sarcastic, but he didn't expect to be caught red-handed by Itachi Uchiha.
Seeing Itachi Uchiha's Sharingan spinning, Deidara turned and hid behind Sasori of the Red Sand.
Fortunately, Sasori of the Red Sand was wearing Hiruko, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to stop the troublesome Deidara.
"It seems you've adapted quite well here, but I heard that someone almost blew this place up as soon as they arrived in Otogakure. Can anyone tell me what happened?"
Sasuke twisted a few wooden strips together to make a chair, sat down, and looked at Deidara, who was hiding to the side winking at him, confirming that this guy really needed to be taught a lesson.
He could understand why Orochimaru disliked him, but there were certain things he just couldn't do.
"That...is..."
Deidara crouched on the ground and was completely stunned when he saw that Sasuke's eyes had also developed three tomoe.
He hates the Sharingan and he hates the Uchiha clan!
Why does Sasuke treat him like this? We agreed to watch the fireworks together.
However, he does seem to have said that, and he even brought out C3 clay in the village...
He just wanted to scare Orochimaru, but who knew that shameless guy would complain when Sasuke came back? That's too much!
"Orochimaru's attitude was bad. Deidara was just trying to scare him. He didn't really intend to detonate it. He didn't have the guts."
Sasori's voice was somewhat muffled, but you could still tell he was laughing.
"Yeah, yeah, Orochimaru went too far. He even told us that once we got to this place, we had to listen to his 'Shadow'—what 'Shadow'? In such a small village, he actually calls himself a 'Shadow'..."
Deidara felt emboldened the moment he heard Sasori of the Red Sand speak up for him.
He stood up, looked in the direction of the Audiovisual Building, and began to complain about how annoying Orochimaru was.
But as he spoke, his momentum wilted again.
Regardless, it seems he really did make a big fuss...
“I built the Sound and Shadow Building, and I also gave the idea for Sound and Shadow. If you have any objections, you can talk to me privately. Don’t go looking for trouble with Orochimaru in the future. Even if you were all together, you couldn’t beat him.”
Sasuke was amused by Deidara's performance, but he still had to tell them that Orochimaru was the Shadow.
Even if few people acknowledge it now, he believes that Orochimaru will ensure that this identity is no longer questioned.
Chapter 281 I Just Want to Play Tennis
"Him? Sasuke, if you want him to be the Shadow, I certainly have no objection, but you can't say he's stronger than me. With that guy's strength, I could blow him up in a second!"
Deidara was furious when he heard Sasuke's words.
He knew Sasuke was strong, but Orochimaru was another story.
"You'll find out soon enough. The reason I'm here is because I recently went to the Land of Lightning and dealt with the Two-Tails from the Hidden Cloud Village. I expect some ninjas from the Land of Lightning will be coming soon. Apart from the Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, you can handle the others. But the Raikage or the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki should be left for Orochimaru to deal with."
Sasuke told Deidara not to rush and explained to them the purpose of his visit.
People from Kumogakure will definitely come, and there will be many of them, but the specifics are still unclear.
If the Fourth Raikage really disregards everything and brings Killer Bee along, then he wouldn't mind eating the Eight-Tails beforehand.
However, he didn't think the Fourth Raikage would be willing to take the gamble.
Even if it's just an Uchiha who can control a tailed beast, it's enough to make them wary and work hard to protect the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.
"Raikage? You want Orochimaru to deal with the Raikage?"
Deidara suddenly stopped worrying about it.
He had never fought the Raikage, but he knew how ruthless that guy was.
Now that he's leaving the Raikage position to Orochimaru, he feels that Orochimaru is also in a rather tragic situation.
I've only been in this position for a few days, and I'm already being sent to my death. How pathetic...
Considering Orochimaru's impending death, he decided not to be angry with that guy for now; after all, they were colleagues.
"So, we'll see when the time comes. If he really dies, then it's just bad luck."
Sasuke could tell what Deidara was feeling from his expression.
However, none of that matters now. All we hope for is that the Raikage can come along and deliver some uncertain news to the people of the other major powers as well.
This kind of thing can be left to White Zetsu.
In terms of gathering intelligence and delivering messages, White Zetsu is an absolutely excellent choice.
"Brother, there's a great game. Will you play it with me? It's been so long since I've had you practice with me."
After finishing his business, Sasuke suddenly turned to look at Itachi Uchiha, his attitude as if he had instantly returned to the time before the massacre of his clan.
"it is good..."
Uchiha Itachi wanted to refuse, but then he suddenly remembered the past.
Back then, Sasuke also liked to stick close to him, but he always failed to keep many promises due to work and other reasons, so he couldn't bring himself to refuse.
"I have a feeling Itachi Uchiha is in big trouble. Sasuke's tone clearly isn't normal..."
Deidara shuddered on the spot, watching Itachi Uchiha leave with Sasuke, his heart filled with curiosity.
"If you want to see it, go take a look! Let's go!"
Sasori of the Red Sand was also curious about what kind of games these two brothers, who were already willing to fight to the death together, could play.
The two followed, and when Kisame returned and couldn't find anyone, he immediately went out to look for him.
Then, when Sasuke found an open space and set up the tennis court, several more spectators had already gathered around.
Besides the Akatsuki members, there were also Karin and Suigetsu who rushed over after hearing the news, as well as Jugo, who they dragged along.
"What game is this?"
Itachi Uchiha looked at the lines drawn on the ground and the net that Sasuke had casually taken out and hung in the middle.
I have a feeling that this game seems...
Is it just a regular sports game?
"This is a tennis ball..."
Sasuke made two rackets; the spirit particle condensation was much more useful than the wood release.
Tennis balls, tennis rackets, and basic rules were quickly arranged, and a scoreboard was placed next to them.
"Since this is your first time playing tennis, I'll serve first!"
After finishing his explanation, Sasuke took his racket and tennis ball and walked to the service line, starting with an outside spin serve.
As Itachi Uchiha pondered the rules and then went to catch and return the ball, the game finally got back on track.
Those around them were initially observing secretly, but once they realized it was a tennis game, they no longer needed to hide.
"Sasuke! Go for it!"
When Karin saw that Itachi Uchiha was actually able to score, she grabbed Suigetsu and Jugo's hands and raised them up to cheer for Sasuke.
The two people beside her were a little embarrassed, but when Deidara followed up and cheered for Itachi Uchiha, they didn't care about that anymore.
When Orochimaru and Kakuzu arrived after receiving the news, the two brothers were playing tennis on the court, while members of the Akatsuki and Otogakure were exchanging glances and sounds outside the court.
Even Orochimaru, with his quick and agile mind, was momentarily bewildered by this scene.
They're all ninjas, why play tennis? Why not just use ninjutsu and taijutsu to decide the winner through combat?
"Sasuke, give him a zero!"
After watching for a while and hearing Karin reiterate the rules of the match, Orochimaru smiled sinisterly and provoked Itachi Uchiha.
Isn't this guy just a Sharingan clone?
Sasuke hits a certain type of ball, and he immediately copies it and uses it. This isn't playing tennis; it's stealing the teacher's skills!
We must display the spirit of the Sound Village and make the Akatsuki lose here!
"We should be able to make money from this tennis game too. We can publicize the game's outcome, claiming it's only for nobles..."
Kimimaro took two steps back and spoke with Kakuzu on the other side about the potential for making money from this new type of sports game.
"It's not impossible, but it would require a proper way to promote it..."
Kakuzu began to consider the feasibility of this matter.
"Hold a competition and set up certain title rewards..."
Sasuke had been playing tennis for a while and was in a very good mood. He happened to notice the two of them discussing making money, so he came over to join in the fun.
However, he was somewhat surprised that Kimimaro had become interested in making money after only a few days.
Is it because Orochimaru needed money that Kimimaro found a new purpose for his existence?
The more I think about it, the more I realize that this might actually be the reason why this person went to learn how to make money.
"Titles? That's certainly feasible. Those nobles love to come up with all sorts of random titles. This is something worth considering!"
Kakuzu thought it was feasible because titles and appellations are things that can be given away without money.
