Deidara looked pissed off at the women. His hands slowly slipped into his clay pockets. He didn’t want to waste any more time, but since he lived for his art, it should best come into its own and that took time again. Behind him he suddenly heard hobbling footsteps. To his displeasure, Tobi had survived after all. "Deidara-senpai, what are you going to do now?", Curious as always, the black-haired man stood next to him. His gaze fixed on the unconscious. "Tobi, move to the side, hm! You're disturbing, hm.", Deidara had taken his hands out of his pockets. The mouths smacked softly and worked the clay before spitting it out. Quick and dexterous as the blonde was, he had formed two little spiders. A superior smile formed on his face.
As his senpai wanted, Tobi took a few steps back. Already enough, he had been allowed to see the art of the blonde and knew that it would be the last breath that the unconscious would take. Suddenly one of the two began to stir. The blonde stopped briefly before he let the clay spiders crawl to his victims. Luna opened her eyes slowly. Her head was buzzing and her limbs ached. The brown-haired woman carefully tried to sit up, but immediately had to lie down again. She felt worn out and had a strange feeling, as if someone had fallen on her beforehand.
Suddenly she heard small steps next to her. Curious what it was, she braced herself. First she looked at the ground. Small, white, spider-shaped beings came up to her and Trucy. Only a few seconds later, Luna realized that she was in danger. But she couldn't move. Everything about her was frozen. Her heart beat hard against her chest. The brown-haired woman could hear her blood rushing. She wanted to go and yet she couldn't. She didn't want to look at the ever-approaching danger and yet she couldn't avert her gaze. Everything was like in slow motion. Images from her past and the past few days and weeks streamed through her brain. Flooded her mind.
She didn't want to die yet. The brown-eyed woman had still planned so much. She wanted to finish her studies, find a nice man for life and have children before she died in old age without pain in her sleep. Tears flowed down her cheeks. This whole situation was too much for her, so she closed her eyes. But then she noticed something. Not only would she die. She jerked her eyes open again, her body loosened from its rigidity. She didn't want a friend to die and although the two young women hardly knew each other, the brown-haired Trucy was one of them. "I have to think of something and do it quickly!" Came into her mind. The two spiders were only a few inches away from her and Trucy.Her gaze was now directed to the people who stood in front of them. She could see how the blonde Nuke-nin raised his hands to his face and the masked man crossed his arms behind the blonde.
Luna's eyes widened. "Stop!" She shouted desperately at the Nuke-nins. But nothing like that happened. Deidara's smile widened. He had hoped that both would pass out so that he wouldn’t have to hear their droning, but it didn’t really bother him. The blonde actually wanted to take his time so that his art could come into its own, but now he had to hurry. "Please, listen to me! We can help you. We both know everything about this world." Unsure whether the Nuke-nins would bite, Luna tried to win the two over for herself and Trucy. Suddenly Tobi stirred. In the brown-haired woman, the hope of surviving the next day grew. But the realization that one of the two clay spiders climbed up her leg and the black-haired man had just leaned on another leg, made her faith fall to the ground like broken pieces.
"We know everything about you. Your death is only a small piece of this knowledge. We know your past, your present and your future. If you let us live, then we can tell you a lot more and if you are not satisfied, then we can." you kill us. What do you think of that? ", the brown-eyed woman heard Trucy speak softly. She didn't know how long the dark-haired woman was up, but she hoped that her suggestion would be accepted.
I opened my eyes carefully. Luna sat next to me and said something. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand them. My eyes drove down her body, which was trembling slightly. But I stopped by her right leg. A white spider crawled up this one. Of course, I recognized the animal as one of Deidara's works. Luna spoke to the two again. Her voice was thick, as if she had been crying. Her suggestion was daring, and yet it was our only hope. But it didn't seem to work. The clay spider continued to crawl before stopping on her upper body. I also felt a light weight on my shoulder and didn't even have to look to know what it was. I carefully pulled my legs against my body while Luna clutched the grass under her hand.
"We know everything about you. Your death is only a small piece of this knowledge. We know your past, your present and your future. If you let us live, then we can tell you a lot more and if you are not satisfied, then we can." you kill us. What do you think of that? "I said softly. I did not dare to move and hoped with all my heart that we would be given some time. Suddenly the spider stopped, but I didn't know whether it was a good or a bad sign. I desperately tried to force my body and mind to rest.We had only one chance, if any. For a short time nothing happened, neither that the spiders exploded nor that anyone said anything. The tension rose more and more and I hardly dared to take a breath. What would happen now?
"Interesting, hm. Says, am I going to give Itachi his fair punishment, huh?" Deidara's voice clearly euphoria could be heard. He seemed to like the idea of knowing everything before it even happened. But how should we explain it to him? How should we explain that he dies before that because of Itachi's brother? I looked briefly at Luna. She seemed quite composed and yet I could feel her fear. I was no different. Suddenly the brown-haired woman began to speak: "No.". That simple word was harsh and yet Luna only spoke the truth. But how would Deidara react to that? I raised my head carefully. First saw the motionless clay spider before I could recognize the former Iwa-nin and his partner. The younger man's face was frozen. His once euphoric grin looked wrong. His eyes were wide.
Was it wrong to tell the truth? My gaze broke away from the smaller one and wandered to Tobi, who couldn't suppress a quiet laugh. He had his hands on his hips. His upper body was leaning forward a little while he relieved one of his legs, but shortly afterwards lost his balance. "Hey Senpai, you might look stupid," the black-haired man joked while standing up normally. "Shut up, huh!" He hissed. Deidara had broken out of his rigidity. His face was drawn into an angry grimace while his hands were clenched into fists. "Why, huh? What happened, huh?", He slowly calmed down again. Keep loosing his fists and seeming to be waiting for an explanation.
"No! We won't say anything until we have your word of honor that you won't harm us.", My voice trembled. "You are in the wrong position to make demands, huh. Besides, we can't determine that, huh." It seemed as if Deidara was thinking about it, but didn't want to be naked before us. It seemed as if we could at least partially convince the younger one. My gaze wandered back to the black-haired woman, who was unusually calm. His arms were crossed over his chest again and his face turned towards the ground. What was he thinking? Of course, Luna and I knew who this man really was, but wasn't that dangerous knowledge?
Wouldn't it be a disadvantage for us if we made them our enemies? I looked next to me for a moment. I would like to know what Luna was thinking. The brown-haired woman was about to start talking before I interrupted her. I was afraid it would be wrong, after all, we were on a knife's edge. "Tobi, have you already told Deidara-san something about yourself?"Luna looked at me confused and partly shocked. Of course it was a daring undertaking, but what did we have to lose? Unsure whether it was right or wrong to ask this question, I looked closely at the orange mask. Through the hole I recognized his sharingan, which narrowed slightly.
"Deidara-sempai, can't we take each other with us first?", Amazed that Madara wanted to cover us first, I let out a brief breath of relief. But immediately there was an uncomfortable feeling. At least they could kill us later. Suddenly I heard a snort. Did we make it? Did we fight for time? "All right, hm." Was the only thing the blue-eyed man said before the spiders jumped off us and crawled to their master. Now first of all satisfied with our performance, I let myself fall backwards. Luna looked at me happily and breathed happily. But our joy was destroyed far too quickly. "Get up, hm! We don't have all day, hm!", Deidara urged with his hands in his clay bag. What was he up to?
I got up slowly. My legs were shaking and Madara's gaze made a cold chill run down my spine. Luna was already standing next to me and slowly helping me to my feet. I was so grateful for her help and gladly took her hand. When I was finally able to stand without any problems, I was let go. Deidara had meanwhile formed two millipedes and let them grow. "Just a little security, huh." Was his response to our fearful looks. A few seconds later, the crawling animals snaked around our upper bodies. I looked carefully at my left shoulder and looked straight into the empty eyes of my explosive appendage. I swallowed and sent a silent prayer to heaven. My only wish: survive.
