You were assigned an S-Rank mission— capture Deidara of the Akatsuki, a rogue ninja from Iwagakure. The 19 year old Shinobi was a prodigy from the Explosion Corps, who defected from the Village in order to gain knowledge of it's Kinjutsu.

While still running through a forest, you notice a man in a black robe, with cloud symbols on it. The man seemed to have on a scope on his left eye, which seemed to be of unknown origin. The man's cowl covered his mouth, though his blue eyes were dead set on you.

"KAH!" The man shouted, as two C1 clay birds erupted from the ground beneath you, barely missing. The man hopped down from his branch, assuming you to be dead. Noticing movement in the smoke, he sighed.

"I told Tobi to kill anyone tailing us.. where'd that idiot go, anyway.. whatever. I'll just have to deal with you here." The man spoke, as he then unzipped his cowl, smirking. It was Deidara... In the flesh.
