On what a battle field just minutes ago, lie the body of a missing nin named Deidara. As Tobi approached, he knew his sempai was dead. But still he wanted to say his goodbyes. He knelt by the body of his former partner.
Tobi knew that almost all of the members of Akatsuki had lost someone. Deidara had lost Sasori, Hidan had lost Kakuzu, Itachi had lost Kisame, and some of the members were orphans. Many ninjas from Konaha and other villages had been killed by Akatsuki.
Everyone will die someday, but why did Deidara have to die today? He was only 19. True they had killed ninjas younger than 19, but this was someone Tobi actually knew. And loved. Although he would never say it, he loved Deidara.
Tobi removed his mask. Deidara always wanted to know what Tobi's face looked like. Now he got his wish.
Tobi pressed his lips against Deidara's . "Goodbye Sempai," Tobi whispered. He picked up Deidara and stated to walk towards the Akatsuki base.
