Chapter 166: Deidara is One of Us?
Chapter 166: Deidara is One of Us?
Deidara wasn't flying very fast.
The Xuanyuan Clan could tell that their enemy was intentionally leading them on.
Even so, the daring and skilled members of the Xuanyuan Clan chose to continue the pursuit.
Of course, during this time, they also informed Lock Front Village of the relevant intelligence.
As the current home base of Lock Front Village, the Xuanyuan Clan believed that even if Deidara could shake off their pursuit, he wouldn't be able to escape the grasp of Lock Front Village.
In fact, Lock Front Village had already received the news.
"The Daimyo's mansion was bombed, and the culprit wore a black coat with red clouds, had a golden ponytail, was very young, seemed mentally unstable, claimed to be an artist, and liked explosive art?"
Fei Yue was reading the message about the culprit sent by Ming Hui Yi when he was in a hall, discussing important matters with Hui Yi Mu Ting, Hui Yi An Ji, and several other high-ranking officials.
It must be said that Ming had analyzed Deidara very comprehensively in a short period.
Fei Yue immediately confirmed the identity and asked in confusion,
"Deidara? What is he doing in the Land of Waves?"
"Is he a member of the Akatsuki organization?"
Taking the intelligence from Fei Yue, Mu Ting's attention immediately focused on the four words, "black with red clouds."
Previously, as the head of the intelligence organization and under Fei Yue's instructions, he was no stranger to the Akatsuki organization.
"Could it be that there's a tailed beast nearby?" An Ji, who represented the Uchiha clan in the village and held a similarly high status, speculated.
"Regardless of the opponent's purpose, how should we deal with this guy called Deidara now? Should we drive him away or simply eliminate him?" Another high-ranking official from Lock Front Village asked, his killing intent palpable.
From his demeanor, it was clear that he favored the latter option.
"Ahem."
At this moment, an elder who wasn't much older than Mu Ting coughed a few times and quickly spoke up,
"Wait, everyone."
"Elder Mori, what is it?" The official who was about to suggest eliminating Deidara looked at him in confusion.
The elder, whose true name was Hui Yi Mori, looked embarrassed as he stammered, "That... well... I know the young man called 'Deidara'."
"You know him?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze, including Fei Yue's, turned towards Elder Mori.
Noticing the clan leader's stare, Elder Mori took a bite and revealed the truth:
"It's embarrassing to say, but Deidara is actually also a member of the Hui Yi clan."
This statement surprised everyone in the room.
"The one called Deidara is one of us? I've never heard of that."
"Is that true? Why did he bomb the Daimyo's mansion?"
"Did we have a clan member undercover in the Akatsuki organization?"
"."
Fei Yue was also taken aback by this revelation.
As the clan leader, he hadn't known that Deidara was one of their own.
"The situation is like this," Elder Mori quickly explained. "I am from the Hui Yi clan of the Rock Hidden Village. Although I now live in Lock Front Village, I spent a significant amount of time in the Rock Hidden Village before. Deidara is also from the Hui Yi clan of the Rock Hidden Village, but his parents passed away early, and there were issues with his education, so the Hui Yi clan seal wasn't implanted in him, and he wasn't included in the clan records."
Elder Mori spoke succinctly, revealing the truth.
Fei Yue was intrigued and asked, "Elder Mori, please elaborate."
Although Elder Mori found it difficult to speak about this, he had no choice but to continue since the clan leader had asked,
"This child, Deidara... how should I put it?
"Feather Cloak Clan? That sounds very artistic. Where is it? I want to set off a huge firework there!"
Even now, Huyi Morishin could clearly recall that moment when Deidara, excited after hearing his story, eagerly displayed his enthusiasm for blowing up the Feather Cloak Clan.
"I had thought of teaching him properly and instilling a sense of honor for the Feather Cloak Clan. But this brat!! He always lets things go in one ear and out the other, obsessing over art and explosions all day and refusing to listen at all!"
"After that, without a word of warning, he defected from the Rock Hidden Village. I never expected him to join the Akatsuki organization and appear here."
Huyi Morishin sighed deeply as he finished speaking.
When it came to Deidara, he was truly helpless.
To prevent this guy from actually blowing up the Feather Cloak Clan, he hadn't given Deidara the Feather Cloak seal or informed him of most of the clan's information.
He had intended to wait until the boy matured and became more sensible before continuing.
But who would have thought...
Huyi Morishin sighed once more.
Beside him, Huyi Moting and the others exchanged glances, astonished that such an oddball had appeared among the Feather Cloak Clan's descendants.
"So, Deidara is also considered to have defected from the Feather Cloak Clan?" someone remarked.
Huyi Morishin shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Defected? From what I know of Deidara, when he defected, he probably wasn't even thinking about the Feather Cloak Clan. If you ask him about the Feather Cloak Clan now, he most likely would have forgotten all about it and would just reply, 'Feather Cloak Clan? That sounds very artistic.'"
The person who had just spoken: "..."
As for Yuyi Xuan Yue, what else could he say? He could only attribute it to the exceptional talent of the Feather Cloak Clan.
"I wonder where this strong artistic gene came from."
Yuyi Xuan Yue recalled the members of the Feather Cloak Clan during the Warring States period, but he hadn't heard of anyone with an artistic inclination.
"Clan Leader, what should we do about Deidara now?" Huyi Moting shifted the question to Yuyi Xuan Yue.
Kill him... After all, he is one of our clan. He must be powerful if he could join the Akatsuki organization. Regardless of whether he remembers or not, he hasn't blabbered about the Feather Cloak Clan over the years. Moreover, the motive for killing him would only be the destruction of the Daimyo's mansion, and our clan hasn't suffered any losses.
Don't kill him... Who knows when this artist will be struck by inspiration and reveal the secrets of the Rock Hidden Village's Feather Cloak lineage? Additionally, when he defected, he didn't even bother to inform us, showing that he didn't have the Feather Cloak Clan in his heart at all. Now, he's flying around in the Land of Waves, and who knows if he'll discover the aerial fortress one of these days.
Thus, the people present were divided in their opinions on whether to kill or spare Deidara, and they could only seek the leader's decision.
"Let's capture him first."
Yuyi Xuan Yue waved his hand, giving the order.
Whether to kill or release him could be decided later; they had plenty of time, after all.
And coincidentally...
As they were talking about Deidara, the man himself was headed straight for them.
At that moment, sensing the sudden disturbance in the barrier of Lock Front Village, Yuyi Xuan Yue's eyes narrowed, and he stood up with a smile, "It's time to verify if Elder Huyi Morishin's words are true."
