Diana:

I am training with Deidara. In fact, I have for the past few days. We have not yet found my power. I have heard that Natalie and Stella have already found theirs which makes me even MORE impatient. I never knew training was so tiring and long. I don't see how all the shinobi stand it! Seriously.

What am I doing exactly? Well, I'm making clay. I don't think clay is really my talent (after all, I hated play-doh as a kid), but Deidara says that, as his sister, I must learn clay-making. Surprisingly, I found it quite easy. Deidara was surprised too, since I was so reluctant to learn.

"Hm. You must have talent. Like me," Deidara commented.

"Uh, no. It's called beginner's luck," I explained.

"Then could you please tell me why I never got any 'beginner's luck'?" he asked.

"That's because I'm special," I said. I regret saying that.

"Great! That means you admit that you have talent in this," Deidara replied.

I just…I seriously don't know what to say to him anymore.

And I have been creating clay for hours and hours with only occasional breaks.

"All right," Deidara said. "I'm going to teach you this new technique. It's called C3. Basically, it's a small clay figure that blows up in size when you focus your chakra on it. And, as you might have guessed, it's a bomb."

"Cool. Let me see it," I say. And so he demonstrated. Well, it looks easier than I thought. But then again, as people always say, it may look easy, but it's not. But I gave it a try anyways. And got it right on the first try. Clearly, Deidara was impressed. He said that I had potential.

You know…this was pretty boring at first, but now, it's actually quite fun. I guess it isn't all that bad to be talented at clay-making. Plus, I have never been praised more in my life. He told me that he has never seen someone get that technique right on their first try. And only seeing it one too.

"So, shall we report to Tsunade?" Deidara asked me.

"Yeah." I nodded.

It's time for me to master clay-making and become the true artist. Well, in Deidara's mind, that is.


Sorry for taking such a long time to update. Hopefully when school gets out I'll have more time. 5 more days! But before that are the finals... TT_TT
