Ch. 23 Don vs. Deidara
It was describing them as best as Don could through his hood, he saw a ninja with red eyes, a shark like ninja with a big sword; one with a plant like head, one who was blonde with a rather large ponytail and mouths on his hands, and last but not least, one with a swirly looking mask with a small hole to see through.
It was Itachi, Kisame, Tobi, Deidara, and Zetsu. Diedara attacked Don and Don stepped out of the way and hit Diedara, knocking him into the dirt. Diedara was about to get up to attack Don when Tobi called off his anger. "Stop Deidara, it seems we have an interesting guest here. Do tell me stranger, what is your business here?"
"I heard there was a powerful organization of outcasts and deserters, I came because I want in." Don said. "How did you end up finding our hideout, stranger?" Tobi asked. "I have my sources." Don said as he jumped out the way of Itachi's and Kisame's surprise attack. "Very impressive." Tobi said, "Though what makes you are strong enough to join our organization?"
Don seemed to disappear into the shadows of the cave and reappeared behind him with a stone knife at his throat. "If, I kill you, I think I will more than be sure of gaining a spot in this organization." Itachi appeared behind Don with a kunai at his throat "I suggest you drop your weapon if you want to want to live." "And if I choose to kill this guy right here?" Don replied. "Go ahead, none of us here have any use of him, after all he allowed himself to be put in this position, but even if he did die, there's the matter of you being our intruder, for that, you must die."
Don smirked, "Very well then." Don let go of Tobi and reappeared where he was standing before. "Looks like this stranger has some promise, he's dark, clever, and knows his own limits." Tobi said, "Though do tell me, what village are you from?" Don didn't say a word, he reached into his left sleeve and pulled off his glove, he then threw it to Tobi.
"Well, well, the barren wasteland of Suna." He then threw back Don's glove. "I think I might just let you join however you have to pass a test. You have to fight one of us here; however, I will be choosing your opponent."
"Let me take this punk." Deidara said angrily. "Ha, you Deidara, you are the last person I would have chosen seeing as you were shoved into the ground so easily like a small child." Deidara grunted, "I was going to suggest he fight Kisame, but if you are going to be this persistent, then by all means go at him, just try not to wreck the cave."
Deidara smirked; he pulled out some clay and quickly molded it into five small birds. "Try this on for size." She said throwing the birds at Don, letting them fly at him. Don jumped out the way of the first one; however it shot quickly to the ground by his feet and blew up with a tremendous explosion.
Don was sent flying into the cave wall with a pile of rubble covering where he lay. Deidara looked at the pile of rubble, his face then shot up. "How?" Don got up from the rubble and brushed himself off, "So he likes to use explosives too?" he said to himself. "I'm actually impressed, you caught me off guard, I would have never guessed those clay birds of yours had the ability to blow up with such intensity."
"Now it's my turn." Don smirked. He pulled out his earth sword and split it in two. His skimmed the blades into the ground and popped up some bombs out of the ground and hit them Deidara's way. "Try my explosives, see how you like them." Don said as he ignited them. A smoke cloud appeared before Deidara, "He's probably going to jump out of that smoke any second now." He said to himself.
A single bomb appeared at his feet and detonated. Deidara was knocked to the ground. Don appeared from under the ground with his two swords across Deidara's throat. Diedara smirked and pointed up and disappeared. Don looked up to see stalagmites falling down at him. "Crap!" he shouted and quickly tossed some bombs into the air and vaporized the stalagmites.
"This is quite entertaining eh, guys?" Tobi asked his fellow members. "Why did you even let him fight hat guy?" Itachi asked. "Well, first I was never that fond of Deidara so if he dies, fine with me, and two if he somehow loses and is alive, I will throw our new member with him, that will keep him out of our hair." Itachi nodded.
Don saw a small flock of clay birds flying his way. Don quickly made a hand sign as they all surrounded him and exploded. Don was flung into explosion after explosion eventually he fell to the ground. "Wow, no one can survive something like that." Tobi said. However Don got up to everyone's amazement with his wood armor on. "I can't believe that worked." He said to himself.
Don slipped into the shadows once again then solid wood beams shot out of the ground and imprisoned Deidara in a solid wooden box. "Real cute kid, but this wooden prison won't stand a chance against my beautiful pieces of art."
Deidara heard Don hop ontop of the wooden prison. "You're right, that's why I took your bag of clay." Diedara felt down at his side. Don looked down at the prison he was on. "Now, I'm going to finish this." He hopped down and then earth bombs appeared in Diedara's prison. Don made a hand sign, detonating all of them and the others watched as they heard the explosion. The prison disappeared and Deidara was lying on the ground.
"You may want to go retrieve your friend." Don said. Tobi looked at him in delight, "Well done, now give me your glove." Don took out his glove and tossed it to Tobi. Tobi took out a kunai knife and cut a horizontal slash across the medal. "Welcome to the Akatsuki."
