I don't know if it's because Sasori looks too cute, or for some other reason.
The lady didn't seem to understand that this child was withdrawn, and still said warmly.
"Then don't stay here too long, it's not good to keep the adults waiting outside for too long."
Sasori frowned slightly in disgust, clicked his tongue in disdain, and then looked at the piles of white clay placed next to him.
"I don't like making people wait, and I don't like waiting for people. The adults won't be impatient."
Sasori's childish voice rang out.
"Ding—".
The person who had been standing silently in front of the counter gently turned his head, and the bell on the straw hat rang softly.
The bell trembled slightly, spreading throughout the small shop.
Deidara's pupils shrank as he turned his head to look at the child who had entered the store after him.
Although the clay here is of good quality, it is about the same as the clay he used before.
To be precise, it's not the kind he wants.
However, in order to determine how the clay would feel when detonated, he selected some that felt okay.
He planned to buy a little of each type later and find a deserted place to test the feel.
But before he could finish selecting, the child came in and said.
A famous line that Deidara had heard so many times that it was almost etched into his DNA.
He turned his head in disbelief.
Sasori was looking at the clay next to him, so Deidara could only see the side of his face.
The height, face shape, and the voice just now all undoubtedly proved that this person was just a child.
But, but...
That sentence was undoubtedly Sasori's favorite saying, and although he didn't look like Hiruko.
But this child's appearance was almost identical to Sasori's real body, which Deidara had rarely seen before.
If he wasn't just seeing a side view, Deidara could have removed the word "almost."
They looked exactly the same.
"Ah... hey..."
Deidara, nineteen years old, was starting to wonder if he was having some strange hallucination because his former partner had died.
This wasn't just a case of coming back from the dead.
This was reincarnation and reunion.
Deidara couldn't help but figure it out, although Sasori's seventh day after death had passed, he shouldn't have been reincarnated so quickly, right?
After a few months, this guy is five years old?
"?"
Sasori moved his gaze, and his amber eyes looked towards Deidara.
No matter what angle you look at him from, he looks so much like him...!!!
Sasori's clothes were very characteristic of Sunagakure, so not much of his body was exposed.
Deidara could only barely see his body from his arm, which was showing as he leaned against the glass counter.
The texture and joints didn't have the joint connections of a puppet, so it didn't seem like a puppet body...
Deidara knew that Sasori had a core that could guarantee his immortality. As long as the core was switched to a body, Sasori could seamlessly reincarnate.
Deidara didn't know if the other members of Akatsuki knew about this.
But when Sasori's body was found, the puppets and other things were blown to pieces, and many puppets were directly turned to dust.
So it wasn't strange that the core wasn't found; they just retrieved the ring and finished the matter.
"Mistaken identity..."
Deidara's scalp tingled awkwardly. When he confirmed that this child wasn't a puppet body, he realized that he wasn't having a hallucination about Sasori, as Tobi had said.
Although they had been partners for many years, Deidara didn't think he would mistake just anyone for Sasori.
But before he could finish saying "mistaken identity," the child suddenly smiled.
As if he knew what he was thinking, he smiled at him.
The child's eyes didn't really look like a child's eyes, but had a very indescribable feeling.
Was he seeing a ghost!!!!
Deidara couldn't help but stare at Sasori in shock.
Sasori didn't say much; he glanced at him and then turned and walked out of the store.
From Deidara's expression, he could see that he looked like he had seen a ghost, and that kid must have a lot of questions now.
"Do you two know each other?"
The lady at the counter looked at Deidara with some confusion.
"It's not a question of whether we know each other, yeah."
"That child isn't a ghost, right?"
Deidara covered his head with the tassels hanging from his straw hat, and couldn't help but casually ask the lady in front of him.
"Huh?"
The lady at the counter obviously didn't expect Deidara to ask such a question, and responded with a confused "Huh?"
It was broad daylight. Although the child was a little rude, he didn't need to wish death on him.
"Never mind."
Obviously, he couldn't get any answers from asking people. Meeting Sasori in this unfamiliar place was a very strange thing in itself.
The child's reaction was strange, but he did seem to react like Sasori would.
What was going on? Did Sasori stop being a puppeteer and start doing spiritual possession or something?
The only person who could give him the answer now was Sasori himself.
Deidara held the straw hat on his head, and without waiting for the other person to respond, he suddenly turned around, lifted the curtain, and chased after him.
After chasing him out, Deidara followed the little child's scent.
Whether it was speed or movement, the child was exactly the same as Sasori.
Because they had been partners for a long time, this feeling was extremely obvious.
Deidara chased the child all the way into the forest he had come from, and he became increasingly certain that the child was Sasori.
He must want to say something to him, which is why he led him to this deserted place.
However, when Deidara completely entered the forest.
He realized that it seemed like there wasn't just him chasing Sasori.
There was another person chasing after him.
This person didn't seem to know how to hide his presence, and his footsteps could be heard very clearly in the quiet forest.
From the sound of his footfalls and strides, Deidara could tell that this person was probably an adult male.
What was going on now?
Deidara tried to distance himself from that person as much as possible, or find a way to shake him off.
Although that person didn't know how to hide his presence, he seemed to chase them very accurately, as if he could completely see through their movements.
Deidara took a detour to determine whether that person's target was him or Sasori.
Unsurprisingly, that person kept chasing Sasori and seemed to completely ignore Deidara's existence.
So he wanted me to stop someone, Deidara immediately understood.
Sasori suddenly stopped in the depths of the forest.
Deidara took this opportunity to jump down from a tree branch and dropped a clay bird on the man who had been chasing them.
"Boom!!!"
