Appreciation

Over

As I rushed over to the location, I decided to step foot on land, as I tried to find the hideout. All of a sudden, I felt the ground shake. It was slight, but there's no mistake, this is from a battle. Is it from Itachi and Sasuke? I'm unsure of myself.

I kneeled down and placed my hand on the ground, trying to find traces of the recent shake. It has to be close-by. Seems like I have to look for it from above. I took out bits of clay and gave the mouths on my hands to chew them, right after that I made a clay bird. Now it's time for me to look for them. As I hopped on and flew from above, I tried to look for the Uchiha hideout. My heart pounded as I looked for the deathmatch that is probably taking place at this current moment. I just know it, It is happening. Right here, right now. 

"Where is it....where is it..hm" I muttered to myself as I flew higher, it should be closeby considering how hard the shake was.

As I looked for the hideout, I remembered what Obito had said to me back at the hideout when he told me everything that's about to go on. In detail why we are collecting tailed beasts and so on, the truth, the reason behind it.

*FLASHBACK TO THE INN*

"We can never escape the harsh reality, but under a Genjustu we can and will have everything we've ever wanted Deidara.." He said as he held my hand, turning to look at me.

We were on the bed and it was 4 am, the streets quiet as Obito and I talk about things. "Originally I wanted to bring Rin back.." Obito admitted as he looked up towards the ceiling. "But then I met you and I realized, that I can love another.." he smiled, his eyes closed. "But the harsh reality is we're always going to keep running..well not you but me..hm" I admitted, knowing that this isn't just a mere assumption but the truth. My life was never the same after my name was listed in the Bingo Book as an S- Ranked Criminal.

"We can always just hideaway?" He suggested, letting go of my hand. "I'm tired of hiding...aren't you hm?" I groaned and let out a sigh, the look on my face displayed clear frustration. "If the plan is a success everyone will be under Genjustu...including you and me, we can create a life form that can make us happy.." Obito said, sounding hopeful. "With you, I don't want just a mere Genjustsu...I want reality with you...hm," I said to Obito as I felt him snuggle closer to me, his arms around my waist. Obito looked at me, nodding his head, gesturing that he understands where I'm coming from.

"Deidara.." he said quietly, his face buried in my neck, his hot breath against my skin. "Thank you for letting me love you"

"Hey don't get ahead of yourself...loving me is difficult and this is only the tip of the iceberg, you know Obito you should really-"

I heard him slight snore. Great. He fell asleep. I shook my head and pulled him closer. God, this Obito, sleeping at the most inconvenient times. After looking over at the plan, I realized Obito is too hung up on the power of Genjustu. He isn't trying to bring Rin back anymore, but in reality, he wants his life back. His life before the near-death experience.

But if that didn't happen he wouldn't meet me. As they say, everything happens for a reason.

I looked over outside to see bits of the sun rising, I looked over at Obito who was soundly asleep. I should get some sleep too, I thought as I closed my eyes. Drifting into sleep.

*FLASHBACK ENDS*

As I flew from above I finally saw it, the hideout. There stood two people, Itachi and Sasuke. They continue to fight in the open area, each of them looked exhausted. As I landed my bird, black flames started to emerge. Black flames? what the fuck is that.

Seems like bad news, I'm staying away. I flew back up again, this time maintaining a great distance from the fighting, I put on my far range eye enhancer and observed the fight. Sasuke fell into the building, Itachi is now standing on his own. It looks like the fight is over.

"Ceh...I knew the fighting was over...that Sasuke brat could never beat Itachi..hm.." I said under my breath. As I flew off, I tried to find Tobi. He should be distracting the leaf village ninja now. All of a sudden, a huge explosion was heard back at the Uchiha Hideout. I turned around to see Itachi using his Susanoo. "So that's Susanoo..." I looked at it, my eyes wide open. It's almost as I was mesmerized by the power of the Uchiha all over again.

I turned back around to find myself almost scared to come close to the two battling brothers, each fighting to their death. I landed on a tree nearby and watched them fight, each of them using their Sharingan to get the other.

"Deidara...." Zetsu appeared next to me, all of a sudden. He smiled at me but I just looked back at him, not really knowing what to say as my eyes move back to the two brothers. "Sasuke is strong.." Zetsu said as I squinted my eyes to see clearer. Yes, he indeed is. But he can't kill Itachi, Itachi is stronger than to let himself get killed by his petty brother.

"Are you recording?" I asked Zetsu, he nodded and continued to watch. "We had to keep a distance, they are destroying all that is around them without care..."

"I can see that.." I said, my eyes scanning the area. This mass destruction they have created. Even the black flames haven't stopped burning, it seems like it will go on forever. "Are you sure you can kill him Deidara.." Zetsu asked as he noticed me checking out the surrounding area.

"I trained my right eye to counter Genjutsu... Itachi has nothing on me.." I said confidently as Zetsu sighed, probably not believing me. Whatever Zetsu. Zetsu gestured that he has to get closer and so he went, his body seeping into the wood and going nearby the fight.

All of a sudden a big white snake appeared, it came out of Sasuke. What the actual fuck is that? It looks like something from Orochimaru. Just when I thought of him, he appeared. His body coming out of the snake. He opened his mouth and puked out a sword. God this Orochimaru, why is he always so disgusting. Itachi's Susanoo took out its sword and stabbed him from inside the snake mouth, allowing his body and flesh to be absorbed into the sword. I wonder what kind of sword that is.   Sasuke threw a kunai towards Itachi, the last approach to stop his brother. As soon as that finished, Itachi fell to his knees. Gripping his shirt as he moans out in pain. He coughs out blood and looks weak as ever.

I've never seen Itachi this weak, his body looks like they are about to give out, he may or may not die anytime soon. No, Itachi isn't like this. Is that Sasuke kid really this strong?

I watched as Sasuke jump and try to stab his shield armour, but the armour was strong that it pushed him back, allowing him to have a fatal crash.

Is this Itachi's true power?

Just then Itachi started walking to Sasuke, he reaches his hand out as he walks towards Sasuke, Sasuke looks terrified, as if his whole life had just flashed before him. As Itachi got closer, he tapped Sasuke's forehead and fell beside Sasuke. No longer moving.

What the fuck just happened. Is Itachi....dead?
No...It can't be...this must be a trick. How did Sasuke defeat him? I looked at Sasuke fall to the ground, no longer moving. Are they both...dead?

I have to find Tobi, he has to know what's going on. I hopped onto my clay bird, gesturing it to go find Tobi. I wonder how Tobi is going to feel once he finds out he's probably the only Uchiha left. God.

Just by chance, I saw a big group of people facing a tree. Using my eye enhancer, I looked down, trying to verify their headbands. I saw a familiar swirl with a sharp edge, it's the Leaf Ninja.

I got down and started slowly jumping towards them, settling down behind a tree nearby and observing them. It seems like Tobi is distracting them, he's jumping here and there, making a fool out of them. He really knows how to distract. As I crawled closer, I notice Zetus pop-up, beside Tobi.

"Sasuke triumphed in the battle, Itachi Uchiha is dead"

My heart stopped, Sasuke is alive? But I saw him fall. Furthermore...Itachi is dead?. I couldn't bother about what they talked about, I decided to jump off on my own, allowing my anger to rise. How dare he, I waited to kill Itachi patiently and he just took it away. Just like that.

That's it.

As I jumped forward, the anger in my body intensified as I accidentally stepped on the wood too hard causing it to crack, I gritted my teeth as I held in my frustration. That's when I made up my mind. That Sasuke Brat...he should know it's not over for me. It is not over yet.

I'm going to kill Sasuke Uchiha.
