Summary: Sasori learns of Deidara's inventions and Deidara hears the new plan
A/N: I still hate the title of the series, but I really can't think of anything good. Suggestions are most welcome.
Sasori entered Deidara’s room to find him deeply bent over something that looked like a deformed camera lens. Leaning over the boy’s shoulder, Sasori eyed it disapprovingly.
“Is that some new bomb you’re inventing?”
“No, this is my new Defeat-The-Sharingan-Device,” Deidara answered enthusiastically. “I’m going to keep it over my eye to build up resistance against the Sharingan.”
“You know you’re not supposed to tell people things like that,” said Sasori, not even bothering to point out that there was no such thing as ‘resistance against the Sharingan’. “They’ll use it against you.”
“I know, but I can trust you Danna, yeah?”
Sasori sighed and wondered how it was possible for a shinobi as skilled as Deidara to be so naive.
“You’d better get it finished tonight, we’re leaving early tomorrow.”
The blonde shone up.
“A mission?”
“Yes, Bijuu hunting.”
“We’re going to catch a Bijuu?!” Deidara beamed. “For real, yeah?”
“Yes, eventually, we have some preparations to-“
“Is Itachi going too?”
“Not yet.”
“Ha!” Deidara performed a little victory dance in his chair. “I get to catch a Bijuu and he doesn’t!”
“I said he’s not going yet,” Sasori said impatiently. “He’s catching the Nine-tails.”
The blonde looked suspiciously at him.
“And which one do we get?”
“One-tail.”
“Hmpf.” Deidara crossed his arms grumpily. “Well, when I get back I’ll be strong enough to defeat him, yeah.”
“I doubt it, but anyway you’re not seeing each other again. Leader-sama’s orders.”
“Why not?”
Sasori rolled his eyes.
“Because obviously you two can’t without turning the place into a battlefield.”
“That’s not fair., yeah!”
“It is very fair. Why are you so disappointed, I thought you hated him?”
“Yeah, but I was going to beat him,” Deidara sulked. “But wait,” he added, shining up again, “when we seal the Bijuu I’ll have to meet him, yeah?”
“When we seal the Bijuu you’ll be concentrating on sealing the Bijuu and nothing else,” said Sasori sternly. “Now get your things together, we’ll leave at sunrise.”
