"Because art...is an explosion!" Deidara yelled with a smile. He's starting to like this new member more and more. Ishi likes his view of art. Not taking it too far to make him be annoyed with Ishi but low enough to know he appreciates his art.
"So how do you feel about the sudden change of plans to our mission?" Asked Ishi. Deidara thought a moment. Why the sudden change of plans? Was the orders in the folder a mistake? More importantly....will the old geezer interfere?
"I don't care, un." He replied. Ishi only nodded. Accepting the answer for now. "Hey Ishi." The Jashinist faced Deidara. "Do you and your partner have the same abilities as Hidan?"
"Somewhat." Both stopped to look each other. "Hm?"
"Welll, Dei-san."Deidara raised an eyebrow at that but paid no mind to it." We do taste the blood of our opponents and we do create the symbol to make the jutsu work. But," Deidara cocked his head up a little.
"The appearance in which we change into is different. Hidan's resembles a skeleton. Mine resembles a skeleton too but protruding horns and all. While Raine....she resembles him." Ishi looked Deidara directly in the eyes.
"Him?" Deidara asked in confusion. "Jashin. Only a part of him. Like his own skeleton." The artist only nodded. They returned to their walk, passing by some travelers here and there. Even some kids playing tag when they passed by a town.
"Dei-san." The blonde faced Ishi. "Would you like to have a snack at that little shop?" Deidara looked on ahead to see a Nikuman shop. He was going to disagree. They have a mission to complete and there is no time to have breaks. That is until his stomach growled.
"Yes it is then. And don't worry I'll pay for the snacks." Deidara didn't answered but Ishi knew he appreciated it.
-Few minutes later-
"Thank you! Come again!" Yelled the teenage girl. Ishi is seen munching at his pork bun with delight. Carrying a small bag containing more pork buns. Deidara also ate his with delight but showed it with a small smile.
"It's nice to have a snack every once in awhile." Ishi commented. "Right?"
"Hm." The two walked on in silent throughout the day. Until the sun began to set, so they camped near a forest. Where Ishi caught two birds.
"Here it's cooked." Deidara took the meal as Ishi took his. Deidara began to think of everything that Ishi has done. And in the end noted that Ishi is completely different compared to Hidan.
-Next Day-
"Ugh headaches..." Groaned out the jashinist. The two are are now walking amongst the people of the village. Ishi thought it's funny how no one has noticed them yet.
"Ishi, my man, I'm going to take on the Yonbi. While you take on the Gobi, yeah." Ishi only nodded. Deidara soon left him in search for the Yonbi.
"I need an apple."
–Somewhere–
"Old man we need to be prepared when they come! Haven't you heard of the news about the other villages?!" Inside the room a small chat is heard.
"Of course I have." The elderly Tsuchikage snapped. "But we need to think this through!"
"We don't have time! We need to go now!" The young female turned towards her partner. "Right Akatsuchi!?"
The stout man smiled, "Now, now. Let's calm down and think about it."
"Hmph...fine." Stubbornly both did so.
"Tsuchikage-sama, why not call some shinobi while Kurotsuchi and I go after them?" He smiled and waited for a response.
"Very well." The Kage sighed. "But be careful!" He yelled standing up.
