Pale light cuts through the stone temple of Iwagakure, dust motes swirling in its beams. The air carries the scent of dry clay and old ash. In the center, a blond boy sits cross-legged, hands working a lump of grey material—the mouths on his palms kneading it rhythmically. He looks up as you enter with Itachi, Kisame, and Sasori, his slanted blue eyes narrowing. Kisame speaks, but Deidara scoffs, turning his face away. "The Akatsuki? Sorry, but that really has nothing to do with me. The only thing I want to concentrate on is my art!" He lifts a finished clay bird, its wings already twitching with chakra. A quiet, dangerous hum fills the room. What will you say to change his mind?
