Chapter 1: Goodbye My Little Brother, un.
My name is Nendora, and I am seven years old! I had learned how to walk when I was 2, and I started talking a year later. I eventually got the hang of everything at the age of 4, and my memory started working perfectly.
I was running around my house chasing my big brother, who always seemed to get out of my grasp before I got to him. His name was Deidara, and he was a rouge ninja, but I didn't care; I still loved him. He had the ability to create this incredible clay creatures he called his 'art' and he could explode them at will. I had the same Kekkei Genkai as him, but I still really wanted to be connected to my brother.
I had blonde hair as him and my eyes were a slightly darker shade of blue. One thing that was different about our hair was that mine was shorter, but I already was going to make my hair look just like his. I also talk almost exactly like him, mainly because he's the only company I have. Since he is a rouge ninja, we had to live outside of our home, Iwagakure.
I kept pursuing him until I jumped at him and tackled him down. He started laughing and picked me up off of him.
"Alright, little brother, you caught me, yah." he said as he finally stopped laughing. He looked at me with a smile that was warm and kind. "Now our deal was if you were to catch me I'd do two things for you without any arguing or refusal, right?" he asked me while I nodded to him. "Okay then, what is your first thing you want me to do?" he asked nonchalantly.
"I want you to teach me how to make your art too, un!" I said and I noticed that his grip changed for a split second.
"...You want to pursue the same life as me?" he asked me as I nodded my head really fast. he chuckled and decided to put me down. I gave him a really big smile and looked up at him,
"Well, you do have the Kekkei Genkai for it...so why not? I hope you know this is going to have to be serious, un." my brother said which made stars light up in my eyes. I jumped on him and hugged him tightly and he chuckled at me, and ruffled my hair.
"So, the first thing we need to do is this..." he started as I watched him intently.
One year later:
I was training with a new explosive idea I had been having for a little while now. It seemed just like yesterday my big brother taught me the kinjutsu he used, and one thing I noticed was that I grew mouths on my hands on one on my chest; just like he did. The first thing I learned was how to mold the clay into art and use it. After that I was taught everything I needed to know, from making my own clay to using a C2 explosive.
He told the everything I needed to know about C3 explosives too, but I couldn't use it with how much chakra I had at the moment. He did say that for me to use a C2 explosive was amazing, and my chakra was gigantic for my age.
He said I was like a huge tank of chakra already, and that I should use that to my advantage. I started learning other jutsus, too. Some examples are the Shadow Clone Jutsu, Transformation jutsu, and pretty much all of the basics I would need to know at an academy. He also taught me two Earth Style jutsu, just incase I would need them. I started focusing on trying to create a brand new type of explosive type I would call something other than the "C" he used, but I don't know what I would call it so far. I know I will get the hang of everything soon enough. I was about to continue training, when my brother started walking to me.
"How's training going, little brother?" He asked me while I brought my clay creations back to me. "It's doing fine. Is there something you wanted to tell me?" I asked him.
"I wanted to tell you that today's your birthday. I can't believe you forgot today was January 24th. You should keep up with that, un!" He said as I quickly made my clay creature return to my hand and turned it back to clay.
"Well, what are you waiting for; close your eyes, yah!" Deidara told me as I closed my eyes and held my hands open. I looked up and saw that he had given me a pouch just like his! I jumped up and hugged him tightly for what he just gave me.
"Thank you, Deidara! I won't forget this, yah!" I said I hugged him dearly.
"Yeah, Nendora… I hope you have a wonderful life. I want to tell you something..." Deidara started as I immediately stopped and looked at him.
"I might not be here for you, and if being near me makes it too dangerous for you, I'll take you to a safer location, got it?" Deidara asked me while I nodded.
"Okay, but I want you to promise me something, too." I said as Deidara then looked at me.
"Is this your second thing I must keep?" he asked as I nodded. "Okay then, what is it?" he asked as I looked at him.
"If we were to ever separate, you must stay alive until we reunite. And that means you can't let yourself die by any means, okay?" I said which he took in and smirked.
"Sure thing, Nendora. I'll keep that promise, un!" He said as we hugged each other again.
One month Later (Deidara's POV): It had been a week sense that damned Itachi Uchiha had bested me and forced me to join the Akatsuki. I was lucky my little brother, Nendora was out getting groceries the entire time. I made an excuse that I woke up and a squirrel got in, and me, thinking it was an intruder, used some of my clay explosives. It was night time right now and I eventually was met by Itachi and Kisame.
"We apologize for not knocking, but we assumed you'd be leaving here anyway. Sasori couldn't come as he was currently on a mission under our leader's orders." Itachi explained as I just nodded. His eyes looked like they were emotionless, and of course he had the damned Sharingan active the entire time.
"Let's get going, un." I said as we started walking. We were almost out the door when we heard a thud followed by a loud curse word.
"Language! How many times have I told yo-" I stopped when I remembered who was with me. Itachi got a kunai out and Kisame drew out his sword.
"Is someone else here, Deidara?" Kisame asked me. I was about to respond when a door opened and a familiar kid came out. My eyes buldged out when I saw him look at me and was holding a kunai knife along with him having a small cut.
"I fell off the bed and cut myself from a kunai on the floor, big brother." He said, before noticing the other two people. "Are these friends of yours, brother?" Nendora asked me as I noticed they both put their weapons away.
"You could say that...here, let me help patch you up." I said as I walked over and bandaged his wound. I put some disinfectant on it, too, so it wouldn't get any worse. When that was done I looked back to the two. "Kisame, Itachi, this is my little brother Nendora. Nendora, Itachi and Kisame." I said through slightly gritted teeth. I didn't want these two to know of him, but I guess it will have to be okay.
"Pleasure to meet ya, kid." Kisame said with a sharky grin, and Itachi just nodded to him. Nendora smiled and then realized something.
"Hey, do you two mind if I show you something?" Nendora asked. I was about to say no when Itachi responded. "As long as it's quick." he said calmly. Nendora smirked as he ran into his room, and back out with his pouch. Itachi and Kisame looked up at this and saw him put his hand into it. He stuck his hand out and they immediately saw that he had the same hand-mouths as his older brother.
"You taught him the kinjutsu, Deidara?" Itachi questioned which I nodded. "That's very dangerous you know."
"It's not my fault. He made me promise to do one thing and that's what he wanted." I said slightly annoyed. It didn't matter what that Uchiha did, he still pissed me off.
"It's ready!" Nendora said as he spit the creation out. It was a clay form of a common housefly and it started flying around. Kisame seemed very impressed, but Itachi didn't seem much different.
"That's a pretty cool trick. Does it blow things up too?" Kisame asked and the kid smirked.
"It doesn't blow things up. It has very minimal explosive capabilities." He explained which made Deidara look up at him. What did he mean by that?
"Then what's it for?" Kisame questioned making Nendora's smirk grow. "How about I show you." He said as the housefly flew to Kisame and attached itself to Kisame's stomach. He did a handsign and then yelled out, "Katsu!" which caused the fly to explode and sent Kisame flying out of the house and hitting a big rock. Itachi looked impressed, if even slightly, and looked back to Nendora.
"That was a good technique. It wasn't made for harming through exploding them, but to push an enemy back. Am I right, Nendora?" Itachi explained and Nendora nodded. Deidara was in shock that Itachi could be so kind to someone. If he were to be nice to Nendora, he might consider forgiving him; but even that was super slim.
"Uh-huh! It still blows up and slightly does damage, but it mainly focuses around knocking them back. This is my first original explosive creation." He said which Deidara was surprised at. 'He's making his own type of explosions? I guess he wants to become stronger, un.'
Kisame came back in and chuckled, a bit of a black stain on his Akatsuki cloak where the fly used to be.
"That's pretty good. Well, let's get going. See ya, kid!" Kisame waved goodbye.
"Wait, let me give him a good farewell." Deidara said as he walked over to Nendora. "Remember what we talked about a month ago? It's happening now. This is goodbye for now, Nendora. I'll be sending you to Konoha, the leaf village. I already sent a letter telling them of your arrival and negotiated with them to not harm or imprison you." when the words left my mouth his eyes went wide. He was about to speak but I cut him off and continued.
"You'll be taken in and put as a leaf shinobi. I will see you again one day. Goodbye my little brother, un." I told him as I knocked him out by a chop to the back of his neck.
I quickly made a clay bird and told it to fly as fast as it could to Konoha. If I made it correctly, It should get there by morning. Before it left, however, I gave my little brother a second pouch and also put in that pouch my current scope; I could make one later for myself. My brother would need it since he would become like me one day and try to become a long-ranged ninja with our art. The clay bird flew off. We all looked at each other and nodded. A few seconds later Kisame, Itachi and I swiftly left to go to the Akatsuki base.
I only could think of Nendora, and I know for a fact that I could never forget him. The reason why is because I love him more than I love my art, and that's not an overstatement.
