Deidara age 8
Ten years ago there was peace between Iwagakure and Konohagakure. It was the chuunin exams and it was set in spring this time of the year. This time the Tsuchikage and his two sons, Ichirozu and Deidara, were visiting the village. The eldest, of course was Ichirozu at age 10. This meant the youngest was Deidara at age 8. Both boys took after their mother in looks. Meaning both had bright blue eyes and silky blonde hair. Ichirozu wore his hair short and like his fathers. Deidara had it grown out and tied together at the tips. Their father, though, had passed the kekkei genkai. Palm mouths on their hands. Used to create explosives.
"Father" the little blonde eight year old had questioned his father, the fourth Tsuchikage, "why must we stay in the inn all the time?"
"Because, though we are allies of the Leaf, we do not know how long the peace will last," the mans voice had something in it like he knew something no one else did.
The little boy nodded and walked to the room he and his older brother shared while at their stay in Konoha. Ichirozu yawned as a waitress served him tea.
Deidara sighed and began thinking about how bored it was to be a son of a very important man. He never got out to go and play amongst normal kids or anything. He was constantly kept to his training. His father didn't want them to stop training the kekkei genkai, making their simple little bombs.
Now that's a different story for the little blonde. His brother and father usually could take any organic material and make it into a bomb for quick use, but the youngest took on the more artistic view on things and preferred moldable material, such as clay, and make sculptures that, of course, explodes.
His father yelled at him for it telling him he needed to be more reasonable and stop wasting time.
So here sat the young aspiring artist, staring at the festivities that took place before the exams each time to celebrate. He turned away from the window and saw his brother had run off somewhere, probably training with his father his the other room. No one else was in the room, so Deidara grabbed his cloak and slipped the hood up and climbed out the window into the busy streets ahead…
Present Deidara age 18---------
Flying high above the trees, his scope set to telescope view, Deidara scouted the ground below.
"Senpai," the orange mask clad boy muttered, "Are we there yet?" he complained and fidgeted heavily on the back of the clay bird.
"No Tobi, we are not, un." Deidara growled, "So stop asking! un!" the blonde had long lost patience with Tobi, "Anyway we are almost there, un."
past Deidara age 8---------
The sights, the sounds. So many for the little boy to see and it was quite overwhelming. He couldn't believe how many ramen shops and bakeries there were! Walking around the market he realized he was lost. He wandered around helplessly until he came upon a park.
Many parents seemed to take their kids here this day, because so many children his age and more ran around. One girl though caught his attention. Short pink hair in cute little pig tails with adorable little sakura blossoms strung in the ties. She seemed to be crying and alone sitting on the seesaw. Her bangs covered her face, so it was a little hard to see her eyes.
"Hi," Deidara said walking up. "Are you okay?"
She just gasped shyly, "Go away…" she finally mumbled. The stubbornness Deidara received from his parents, both of his parents, caused his to disagree with her, "No," he said, "I think I'll sit right here in front of you." he sat down on the ground in front of her only to have the unpleasant experience of why the kids weren't playing on these things.
"AWWW MAAAN!" he jumped up and mud covered his entire backside, "Father is gonna be mad at me!" but he just fell into a fit of giggles.
The girl who had tried so hard not to laugh at him also fell into a mess of snickers and giggles. She laughed just as hard as him.
"I knew it! You can laugh!" Deidara burst out saying, "At it's very pretty!"
She buried her face into her knees again, "No it's not… I'm just a big forehead…"
Deidara smiles seeing the problem now, "Of course you are…" he saw her tense as she looked at him with water filled eyes, "But that what makes you who you are…" he grinned happily when she smiled.
Present--------
Tobi currently throwing rocks into a pond and Deidara was trying to set up the fire.
"Tobi get over here, un!" the blonde growled at his Akatsuki partner. Tobi jumped up and ran over, taking a seat on the opposite side of Deidara.
The fire was finally started and Deidara sat back to view the stars. "Senpai, what is this?" Tobi had been digging through their bags to find the food they were to eat that night, but in Deidara's bag he had found a necklace.
"Give that back to me, un!" Deidara leapt forward and snatched it from him, "Tobi, don't ever, EVER touch this!" Tobi nodded and got dinner starting, some instant ramen.
Deidara sat back against the tree and looked at the necklace. It had been years since he last just sat there and looked at it. He sighed and ran his fingers down the pendant, a clear glass orb with a cherry blossom embedded in its center carried in a falcons claw. He smiled thinking about when he had received it. He looked up and saw Tobi snickering.
"What, un!?" he snapped. "Senpai looked so happy!" Tobi was just smiling away under that mask of his, Deidara just knew it. "Shut up…un"
Past---------
"What's your name?" the pink haired, six year old asked the blonde.
"My father said I shouldn't tell anyone outside my village…" he answered.
"But…don't you live in Konoha?" she asked tilting her head to the side with a cute confused look.
"No," he answered, "I live in Iwa…" She gave him a concentrated look.
"Fine, if you wont tell me your name," she crossed her arms and smiled, "I'm not going to tell you mine." Deidara glared.
"Fine…call me DeiDei, ok?" He smiled hoping this would at least stop madness!
"Okay, call me Kura…" She smiled and grabbed his hand, "Well today is a big day for you, DeiDei-chan, let's go see some festival!" She began to drag the boy.
"Whoa. Whoa. Whoa… DeiDei-chan?" He raised his eyebrow, and had a half pout look. She giggled, "You look more girly than most boys! I mean how many boys have long hair that's tied back like this?" A seven year old boy with long dark brown hair, white/lavender eyes, walked by. "Well,…that have blonde hair and blue eyes…" she quickly looked around. "But don't worry DeiDei-chan, I know you're a boy right?" she smiled and ran off towards the celebration. He just sighed and ran after her.
Soon, after a few hours or so, they sat down on a bench to eat a small lunch. Deidara bit down into the fruit filled pastry. The fruits juice ran down his chin and Kura giggled and pulled out a napkin and wiped it off of him. He grinned sheepishly and finished off the pastry.
Deidara set his paper plate down and felt something drop around his neck. He looked down and saw a necklace with a small pendant hanging from it. "I want to give this to you so we'll be friends forever!" she kissed his cheek. Deidara was shocked and his gloved hand shot up to his cheek.
He felt a hand grab his shoulder, "There you are!," a man growled, "Your father is very upset with you, young master," Deidara looked up to see a man with a Iwa hitai-ate.
"I'm sorry," Deidara could only say as he stood up. The man grabbed his hand and led the boy away. He turned to look at the girl who he smiled at. She tried to smiled back, but tears fell instead. The last thing he saw was her tears before he disappeared into the crowd.
The very next day the Tsuchikage declared war on Konoha. Many on both sides died. It was resolved over a six year time period. Though over these six years Deidara grew to be fourteen, he had a feeling that even though Iwa and Konoha were allies once more he would never again be able to return to see Kura-chan again. He trained hard to become a great ninja, but he was never good enough for his father. Late one night, at a special Iwa celebration, the Tsuchikage, Deidara's father, was assassinated.
"Get him!" someone yelled, "He went that way!" The assassin ran down an alley way and leapt along the tops of the buildings. To the ground, flew a small bird and with a single hand sign it grew many times its size. He jumped on and turned back to the village and glared ,"Never was I good enough for father…never was I good enough for anyone…never will I be an Iwa ninja again, …un" Deidara then flew off in search of the organization, Akatsuki.
A few months passed and he was Sasori's partner as Deidara or the Akatsuki.
Present---------
"Why are we going to Konoha again, Senpai?" Tobi had finally gone quiet for about five minutes before the question popped into his mind, but when he asked it Deidara was on his last nerve.
"Because, Tobi, Leader decided we were to gather information on the Kyuubi brat for Itachi, un,"
"Right Senpai, I knew that!" he chirped happily.
The journey, though, was cut short by a group of Konoha nin on a mission, but instead crossed paths with Deidara and Tobi.
Deidara immediately recognized the kid with black and orange clothes. The spiky blonde was the one who fought hard for the Kazekage, Sabaku no Gaara. One tall, slender male who had an appearance close to Itachi's little brother another man whom he did not recognize at all. The last one he knew as the pink haired girl, Sakura, who killed Akasuna no Sasori. Her green eyes burned with the intent to kill.
The blonde, Naruto Uzumaki, started to yell about the thought Deidara was dead and missing both of his arms because Kakashi took off the other one.
"Will you shut up, Naruto!" Sakura yelled at him and then gave him a nice bump on the head, "Apparently he's Akatsuki, he's got both arms, and he's alive…" she looked up into the blue-green eye of the artist, "but…I'll change that." She whipped out a kunai and ran forth at the two, mainly Deidara, despite her team leader's yells to stop.
"Good, pinky, you, me, one-on-one, I'll avenge Danna's death, un," He stuck his hands deep with in the bags on either side of him and felt his kekkei genkai begin to work on the clay bombs.
Naruto ran after Sakura. But a certain orange masked shinobi stopped him by a hard kick to the chest that sent the blonde, Kyuubi vessel flying into a tree, "Did you see that Deidara-Senpai?" he called out, "I sent him flying!" followed by many sound effects.
The bomb expert hadn't heard him. He was busy trying to keep the pink haired kunoichi from hitting him with any of her chakra backed punches or kicks. He dodged all of the first barrage of punches, but a kick came out of nowhere and nailed him in the chest. He had the wind knocked out of him as he was sent flying into some trees. He felt short of breath as he got up to run, "At this rate I may die, un," he barely dodged a kunai, as he ran farther into the thickening foliage.
Naruto and Sai managed to escape from Tobi as Yamato fought him. "Sai, where are we?" Naruto called over to him. Sai who had the map and had studied knew exactly where they were. "Nothing," Naruto looked at him with a questionable look, "Sakura is in danger up there with that guy, what do you mean nothing?"
"Nothing, the edges of Earth country are huge faults and trenches and even canyons, as I said nothing," he replied cooly as they leapt forward.
Deidara looked at his palm as it worked on the bombs. When they spit up the clay he closed his hands and grinned feeling the clay mold in his palms. He loved the feeling. As he opened his hand he dropped the clay bombs and had them go to certain spots to await the medic kunoichi. He landed on a tree to catch his breath and realized it was hard to do seeing is how he felt pressure every breath. Beneath him the tree broke as the kunoichi connected her chakra pumped hand to it. He leapt and continued running.
He heard crashing behind him and knew she was little-by-little catching up to him ready to beat him to a bloody pulp. He saw the clearing up just a bit. "I will be able to activate a bomb up there, un,"
'Just a little further…' he thought, but just as those words processed his mind, he skidded to a stop as he was faced with a cliff. "What the hell!?" he growled stepping back, "Damnit! I forgot this was the border of the southern country area, un!" he turned around just as Sakura punched the ground below him. He leapt and was cornered by her once more. As she stepped forward, he felt his end near. He was standing on the very edge of the cliff. Looking back, he saw little rocks and stones fall into the depths below.
Naruto and Sai ran up just in time to see Sakura inching forward on the artistic criminal. What Naruto saw next was just enough to frighten him. Fear overtook his senses as he saw many small clay creatures surround the two at the cliff. "Oh no," was all his voice could manage.
Deidara saw his creations had finally caught up, "Now pinky you'll die here, un," he smiled, "Art is…" she backed up a bit, "…a BANG, un!" all of the bombs blew up and the cliff crumbled beneath them. Sakura fell along with the blonde. Deidara slipped not realizing it would blow the entire cliff. His head hit the side of the rock and he fell unconsciously to what lie below.
Naruto rushed to the edge and all that could be heard was Sakura's ear piercing scream, as she fell.
