If I wasn’t impressed with the adamant expression on the kunoichi’s face, I would’ve finished her off right away. Her determination only made my skin tingle and blood pump faster. Wouldn’t it be much more fun to play around at first?
I followed her easily as she leapt up the wall of the canyon, her red eyes darting about (probably trying to locate the Kyuubi brat). However, I could tell that my partner was thinking the same thing as me. Deidara was currently flying around on one of hus summoned birds, mercilessly swooping down and occasionally giving the kid a playful peck.
“Hey, stop playing around. Hurry up and catch him. I’ll take care of this woman.”
As I turn back around, I could feel the aftereffect of a genjutsu close in on me. Smirk. The poor excuse for a shinobi doesn’t have anything else better up her sleeve? I figured that I’d let her play around at first, perhaps she’ll let her guard down. It will prove how experienced she is. One should never underestimate his or her opponent.
Of course, unless you’re me.
After a while, things began to get boring. I swung the Samehada around playfully and was lucky enough to get part of her leg.
“It’s been fun, Red eyes.” I swing the Samehada back over my shoulder. “But we’ve got business to take care of, and a Jinchuuriki to gift wrap.”
A suspicious wall of sand suddenly appeared before me. And all went black.
