Naruto: Deidara Chooses Kurotsuchi Over Zetsu

Let... Let go! She protested weakly. Don't let go. Deidara tightened his fingers like a rogue, unless you promise me something. What's up? You are not allowed to take on any missions until you recover from your injuries. Deidara's expression suddenly became serious, especially the dangerous tasks assigned by the old man. Um! Kurotsuchi frowned: I am a ninja, and my mission is... I don't care. Deidara interrupted her with a rare tough tone, "If you dare to take such risks again, I will... I will... Just like that? I will lock you on the floating platform and you are not allowed to go anywhere! Deidara said fiercely, but the worry in his eyes betrayed him. He will massage your legs every day until you agree! Um! Kurotsuchi couldn't help but laugh at this ridiculous threat. She had never seen Deidara look like this - like a child worried about having his toys stolen, and like a... Lover who was afraid of losing someone important to him? The moment this word flashed in his mind, Kurotsuchi's heart skipped a beat. She withdrew her hand in panic and drank the remaining medicine in one gulp, trying to cover up her gaffe. Finished! You can**! She stuffed the empty bowl back into Deidara's hand and turned her back to him, "I need to rest!" Deidara did not leave immediately, but sat quietly by the bed, watching Kurotsuchi's back pretending to sleep. The sun shines through the screen window, casting tiny golden spots on her long black hair, and the lines of her shoulders that rise and fall slightly with her breathing are incredibly soft. Good night, junior sister. He finally said softly, tucking her in when he stood up to leave. The moment the door closed, Kurotsuchi opened his eyes and stared at the wall in a daze. The unfamiliar throbbing in her chest made her confused and uneasy, as if something was quietly changing and she was powerless to stop it... Outside the medical room, Deidara leaned against the wall and exhaled a long breath. He looked down at his palm, where the touch and warmth of the black earth skin still remained. He, who had always been full of confidence, was actually a little unsure at this moment - how did that stubborn junior sister feel about him? Senior brother... Akato's voice interrupted his thoughts. Master Tsuchikage sent a message asking you to see him immediately. Deidara frowned: What's wrong? It seems to be about... The mission of the Kingdom of Rain. Akazuchi lowered his voice and Lord Tsuchikage looked angry. Oh, let him wait. Deidara waved his hand nonchalantly, "I have to prepare Junior Sister Kurotsuchi's lunch first." Um! Chitu stared blankly at his senior brother's back as he walked toward the kitchen while humming a tune, and scratched his head. Senior Brother Deidara is probably the only one in the entire Iwagakure who dares to make Lord Tsuchikage wait, right? Three days later, a small celebration banquet was taking place on the observatory of the floating platform. Although Onoki was furious with Deidara for leaving the village without permission, given that he successfully foiled Sunagakure's conspiracy and brought back important information, the merits and demerits were balanced in the end and there was no additional punishment. As for Kurotsuchi, he received a week's leave for his outstanding performance. Cheers! Akatsuchi honestly raised the juice to celebrate the recovery of Senior Sister Kurotsuchi!
