Chapter 2: The Artist and the Swordsman

"So, Deidara is hiding at this temple?" Naruto asked and Jiraiya nodded.

"That's what my spies said. And they are usually right."

Naruto nodded and sighed "Then let's get this over with. The sooner this guy is dead, the sooner I'll get my information."

Jiraiya nodded as both started to walk to the temple. When they arrived, they noticed the door of the temple was destroyed by an explosion apparently. They got in, and saw a blonde kid, Deidara they think, sat with his legs crossed giving them his back.

"You also came to kill me? Hm." Deidara sked and Naruto smirked.

"Well, it seems that you already know what's coming." He said getting into stance. Deidara smirked as he stood up and looked at him.

"Yeah, that I am going to show you my art. Hm."

Naruto smirk widened "Bring it."

Jiraiya sighed and passed a hand across his face. "I'll leave this to you kid. I'll be out if you need me." He said getting out of the temple.

Once Jiraiya was out, Deidara chuckled "Are you sure that was a good idea, swordsman-san? Hm."

"Sensei would made things way too easy. Besides, I need to practice from time to time." Naruto said as Deidara stuffed his hands into some brown bags strapped to his hips.

"Happy to help then. Hm."

Deidara snapped his hands out and from there, three small clay birds went flying to him. Naruto dodged the first two as he rushed towards his opponent but the third one that was about to touch him, so he took out his katana and was about to cut the bird when Deidara smirked and made one hand sign.

"Katsu."

The bird exploded on Naruto's face, creating a cloud of smoke. Deidara let out a short chuckle "A lot of bark but no bite, huh. Hm."

"I have to say, I never saw that jutsu before." Deidara heard behind him and turned to see Naruto with his sleeve burned off and with burn marks on his face.

"You survived." Deidara said before grinning "This will make things only more interesting! Hm." After saying that he stuffed his hands again in his bags and threw more clay birds. Naruto unsheathed his sword again and made a cut on the floor as he made one hand sign

"Futon: Kaze no Kabe! (Wind Release: Wind Wall)" A few meters from the cut, a wall of wind emerged and blocked each of the birds that were send to him.

"Katsu!" Deidara said again detonating the birds making the wall vanish. Naruto rushed again to him trying to slash him. When he was in range, Deidara jumped back sending to his direction some spiders made out of clay. Naruto jumped to the right and once he landed threw his next jutsu.

"Futon: Sessaku Senpu! (Wind Release: Cutting Whirlwind)" He made a cut with his sword on the ground and from there, a small whirlwind was created heading towards Deidara in full speed. He saw this and made the hand signs to block the attack.

"Doton: Doryuheki! (Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall)" He planted both hands on the ground and in front of him, a wall made out of the earth emerged blocking the incoming tornado and destroying it. Naruto using the opportunity to attack, vanished with shunshin and appeared behind Deidara. Deidara turned around to see how his opponent was going to cut him with his weapon.

Naruto's stabbed Deidara with his sword but something happened. Deidara's body lose color until it was completely white. Like the projectiles he sends him...

Naruto noticed the trap and jumped back as retrieved the sword from the explosive body, just in as the explosion took place destroying the wall and making a small crater.

Deidara popped from the ground as he used a jutsu to get underground, replacing himself with a clay version of himself. He noticed Naruto staring at him with a small smirk on his face. "I admit... you are way better than expected." Naruto praised and Deidara smirked as well.

"Don't cut yourself short, swordsman-san. I honestly thought this would be over in a minute. Hm."

Naruto took out his sword again and got into stance "Ready to continue?"

Deidara grinned as he stuffed his hands into the bags "Whenever you want. Hm."

*Outside with Jiraiya*

"...And Maki-chan was about to swallow his seed when he pushed her head to swallow his length..." Jiraiya mused as he was writing the next copy of his Icha-Icha Paradise series and let a small giggle. He had a small blush and a perverted smile as he wrote on the piece of paper. Everything was fine until...

*BOOM*

"Eh?" Jiraiya asked as he looked smoke coming from the temple. He got closer to hear the explosions getting louder and more frequent.

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

When he arrived to the temple, he felt his eye twitch. It was almost in ruins.

Walls and windows destroyed, multiple cuts and slashes on the remaining walls and on the floor, some craters and he could see some fire coming from somewhere.

"Dammit kid... why you always leave such a mess?" Jiraiya whined as he went to finish the fight quickly.

"I hope this isn't somewhere important for the geezer."

*Back with Naruto and Deidara*

The battle between the two shinobis didn't stop. They climbed to the roof of the temple where the showdown continued.

"Katsu!" Deidara screamed with a maniacal grin on his face as he made more clay animals explode. Naruto dodged the explosions as he circled the mad bomber looking for an opening. When he saw one, he rushed to Deidara that threw clay snakes. Naruto made a cross hand sign.

"Kage Bushin no Jutsu! (Shadow Clone Jutsu)" 4 Naruto's popped into existance and each one grabbed one snake.

"Katsu!"

The snakes exploded creating a smoke curtain that Naruto used to go behind Deidara, that turned around to receive a shoulder tackled to the stomach that pushed him off the temple. He twisted in mid-air and created from the last's bits of his clay, a giant hawk, big enough to carry him to land safely.

Once he landed, Naruto followed him and landed in front of him. Deidara grin came back as he panted a little. "Good one, swordsman-san. You took me by surprise. Hm."

Naruto shrugged with an arrogant smirk "Yeah, but the next time will be the last one." he said ready to take his sword out, but raised a brow when Deidara made a face of awe. "What now?"

"Look behind you..." Was all that Deidara said and Naruto scoffed.

"Do I look like an idiot to you?"

"No, no. This isn't a trick. I want to show you our creation! Hm." Deidara exclaimed confusing Naruto that turned around to see the temple about to crumble.

"Oh crap... I hope it wasn't somewhere important for the geezer..." He mused and Deidara clapped his hands.

"Don't you see? We just created art! Hm." Deidara exclaimed and Naruto got confused.

"Art?"

"Yes! Art! Look at this! The chaos! The destruction! The spontaneity! It is beautiful! Hm." Deidara explained and Naruto nodded unsure.

"Riiiiiight... so, we are going to continue or what?"

Deidara shook his head "Swordsman-san; we cannot kill each other after this. We are destined to do this till the end of times! Don't you see!? Hm."

Naruto rolled his eyes in annoyance "Look, I don't have anything personal against you, but I need you dead to have some important information."

Deidara perked up "Information? What you say if we make a deal? Hm."

Naruto eyed him warily "What kind of deal?"

"A beneficial one. I'll help you get this information that you need and in exchange you let me do my art in peace and if you feel, you can help me. Hm." Deidara offered and Naruto thought about it.

"And how can you help me?"

Deidara shrugged "The best I can. Besides, the more people helping the better, right? Hm."

Naruto nodded slowly "And what you want me to do exactly?"

"Just to make sure that I am not disturbed when working. So, do we have a deal? Hm." Deidara asked stretching his arm and Naruto looked at his hand noticing the mouth. Deidara chuckled, "Relax, it isn't going to bite you. Hm."

Naruto sighed as he shook his hand "Deal. But there is a problem. I need you dead, remember?"

Deidara nodded slowly while cupping his chin "True... that might be troublesome. Hm."

"Well, I can help in that." They heard Jiraiya said that was sat on a tree branch.

"How?" Naruto asked and Jiraiya gave him a thumb up.

"Don't worry kid! Leave it all to me! You two go and search for more clues while Onoki gets the info."

Naruto smiled and nodded to his sensei "Thanks, Pervy-Sensei."

"Would it kill you to show respect!?"

Deidara chuckled as he and Naruto started to leave "So, do you have a name I can call you? Hm."

Naruto looked at him from the corner of his eyes with a smirk "Naruto."

Deidara nodded with a grin "Very well, Naruto-dana! Let's go! Hm." Naruto rolled his eyes already regretting his decision.

*Tsuchikage Office*

"So, the brat actually killed him." Onoki said and Jiraiya nodded "Yup. Well, more like killed himself with one of his explosions."

Onoki face remained blank "I see... a deal is a deal, I'll try to get the more information I can so you can leave my village."

Jiraiya nodded with a smirk. He turned around to the door where a girl with pink eyes and black hair was out with a shocked face, thinking that the person she admired was just murdered.

She tightened her fist 'He'll pay...'
