Along The Path Of Vengeance(Sasuke/Mha crossover(Naruto)

Chapter XI: I'll Prove That

Jobo, the blonde-haired man, sat on an elevated throne and held his hands out in front of him in the shape of a rectangle; as if he was seeing the canvas of a photo. 

"Deidara, what are you doing?" Kidomaro shouted over. The sound of metal clangs and objects being moved in the background while strolling over to Deidara, who looked down at his phone all the while.

"Haha, I'm envisioning the beautiful art show I'm going to showcase to Sasuke just as he's about to die... Hmmmm," Deidara peeked down at Kidomaro out of the corner of his eye, "And what are you doing, Sasori? You're not even focusing on the construction process at all. Hm."

Sasori showed Deidara what was on his phone. The phone illuminated with details about the Sports Festival, "I'm gathering intel on Sasuke to make sure we don't fail."

Deidara snickered, "He's a fifteen-year-old kid, Sasori. No matter what little tricks he might come up with, there's no way he could survive the art show I'm setting up here, hm."

Sasori sighed, "Wouldn't it be faster if we just broke into his home and killed him in his sleep?"

Deidara rolled his eyes, "There's no beauty in that. So boring. This is the first interesting job we've had since…" He put a hand under his chin, "Well… since we set up his dad HA!" Deidara spread his arms apart before he slapped his head and chuckled before continuing, "Besides, Sasori, drawing him into a death trap gives us a higher likelihood of killing him anyway, hm."

Sasori narrowed his eyes, "You should really learn to separate fun from the job at some point. If you wanna have fun you could just fight me in Ninja Storm 4."

"Tsk," Deidara closed his eyes, "Juggling me in the air with Minato is only fun for you, so I'd rather not. But ease up on the robotic behavior, Sasori. It's because AFO considers us so reliable that we're able to have the freedom to choose how we take care of him. Let's enjoy that. He even said we could take him dead or alive! Just try to embrace the plan. I know you can appreciate some art too, even if it's a weird type, my man. Hm."

Sasori sighed and turned around. The workers were setting up a caged ring with floodlights and speakers, surrounding the plain white floor. The ring itself was huge and about four times the size of a normal one. There were also plenty of open areas under the ring and all around to set things up. The walls which were nearly finished being painted with a mix of black and red. Deidara's chair itself was a throne of velvet cushions and gold. "Well, I guess I can't argue with that, but it's still a shame that it'll all be gone so soon."

He turned back to Deidara, "Hey, about your whole higher likelihood of killing him here; doesn't that only work under the assumption he comes alone? What if he decided to bring a bunch of heroes with him?"

"AFO told us he isn't the type to get other people involved with his revenge, but on the off chance he would…" A sharp smile warped the surface of his face. "I have someone that should be giving him a nice gift soon."

On Sasori's phone, all the remaining students were crowded together because the brackets were being announced. This caused a lot of murmuring among the crowd and the students themselves. 

Both Sasuke's and Mina's eyes met.

Mina smiled, "Ready to get beat up again?"

"Heh, you won't get lucky like last time. There's no floor for you to drop me through." Sasuke shook his head.

"Well then, guess I'll just have to drop you normally." Mina puffed out her chest and put her hands on her hips.

"We'll see," he placed at the brackets one last time before class 1-A collectively moved to their designated stands. The area they sat at gave a clear view of the fights from a good vantage point.
