"Danzo. A name I expected more of a fight from. Your pathetic ANBU team couldn't hold us back. And now, I am going to fulfill Aiko's premonition." Deidara said full of hatred.
He coughed a few times.
"I knew that this was coming. But I wasn't prepared as well as I thought. You are nothing but a miserable demon hiding beneath that skin." Danzo growled.
Deidara smirked.
"That may be. But after I kill you, I wont be so miserable. So.." he said raising an ANBU katana up to Danzo's throat.
"I will give you nothing but the same treatment that you gave Aiko!" he said before swiping across his flesh. Blood spurted at every beat of his heart. His lifeline killed him. Itachi stood from the chair and dusted himself off as he stared at the dead soldiers littering the floor.
"Let's go," he said rushing out the door.
Strangely, no one awaited the two. No more guards. No shinobi. No one was in the streets. Deidara reached to a power pole and snatched a paper off of it.
It read:
Support Shinobi
Annual Shinobi Festival in Sunagakure
This Weekend
Everyone is welcome
He crumbled it into a ball, then drop kicked it.
"Go figure. It's the festival in Sunagakure this weekend."
"Hn."
It was silent as they walked through the Village. They were so susceptible to an attack that it was almost ridiculous how defenceless they left themselves. Almost like they wanted to die.
They left the same way that they came in.
And Deidara couldn't get his mind off of the festival. It was the only one they had taken Aiko to when she was alive.
"I took Aiko to that festival when she was only 6." Deidara said quietly. Itachi listened to him as they strutted out of the Village.
"Seishi, Aiko, and myself had disguised ourselves under a genjutsus so that we wouldn't be bothered all weekend. We were throwing kunai at targets when Aiko giggled. It was the first time I had heard her laugh in years."
"Why didn't she laugh?"
"Meh. She was never really happy when she was alive. I mean, she had no friends. No real connections in the world. No other family other than her mom, aunt, and me. Sometimes, I wish that Seishi would have found someone else other than me. Maybe then, she wouldn't have lost Aiko and she'd be happy."
Itachi looked at Deidara.
"It's not your fault." He said. Deidara tried to smile but just couldn't.
