Tsunade, you're really drunk!

This familiar voice made Deidara stunned, and then he looked to the left.

"Kurotsuchi? Why are you here!?"

The surprise and unexpectedness were revealed in his words. Kurotsuchi, who was originally looking at the menu, threw the menu directly on the table, walked up to Deidara, looked at Deidara's outfit with a puzzled look, and looked strangely.

"Brother Deidara, what are you doing...?"

Deidara stared at Kurotsuchi's gaze, symbolically raised his right hand, straightened the Konoha forehead protector on his forehead, lifted up the bangs that covered half of the Konoha logo, and revealed the complete Konoha Village logo.

"Yes, see, I am now a registered jonin in Konoha Village. Life in Konoha Village is so comfortable."

"Hey, come on, go sit over there and chat. Don't block others from watching Kisame kill the fish. Otherwise, this guy will regret it later and not treat us. That would be a big loss."

As he said that, he pulled Heitu to his seat and they both sat down.

"By the way, why did you come to Konoha Village? What is that old guy going to do now?"

Before Kurotsuchi could speak, Deidara asked his own question first.

But Heitu simply avoided listening and chose to ask questions in return, choosing to defeat the problem with a question, just like using a shell to counter a shell.

"I still need to ask you!?"

"Although the Ninja Association has rescinded its wanted order for some reason, why would you rather join Konoha than return to the village? Do you know how worried the old man and I have been about you over the years?"

Kurotsuchi's words immediately silenced Deidara. His originally good mood was completely wiped out by this question.

Just as Kurotsuchi was ready for Deidara's angry response and scolding, Deidara just smiled bitterly.

"Go back to Iwagakure? Go back to that place where everyone is afraid of me?"

Deidara looked at Kurotsuchi indifferently, his eyes a little dim.

Kurotsuchi felt her heart skip a beat. She would rather see Deidara refute her like he did before than see him like this.

Deidara stood up and walked aside, took two cans of beer from the freezer and placed them on the table, then moved the bottle in front of Kurotsuchi in front of himself.

"I almost forgot, you are only sixteen years old, not yet an adult, you can't drink."

As he said this, he picked up a pair of chopsticks, put them together, and placed the tip of the chopsticks under the beer bottle cap. After a moment of pressing it against the table, the bottle cap flew off.

He drank a big gulp.

Seeing Kurotsuchi's silence, Deidara waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Well, I have my own life to live. Although the Hidden Rock Village cannot accept me, I am doing very well in Konoha. In the past half month alone, I have earned more than 6 million taels in rewards. I never thought that one day, so many people would like my art."

"Did you know that Konoha and Kirigakure are building a cross-sea bridge?"

After hearing this, Heitu nodded.

"I know that. Did you go to repair the bridge?"

As he spoke, Kurotsuchi imagined in his mind a scene of Deidara working on a construction site with a hat on his head.

Deidara nodded with pride.

"I guess so. I am just responsible for transporting personnel and helping with blasting and collecting materials. It was Qianye who asked me to do this."

"You have no idea how happy those workers and the ninjas who were responsible for collecting and manufacturing the bridge piers were when they saw my art. Those were smiles that truly came from the heart."

"The feeling I had at that moment was something I had never felt in the Hidden Rock Village. There, people only hated and feared me, and never appreciated my art."

Not long after, the waiter brought up two baking trays full of grilled fish.

The soup was brown with a thin layer of red oil floating on it. Both fish were split in half and placed on a baking tray. The side of the baking tray was also filled with tofu, bean sprouts, and other side dishes, which filled the air with fragrance.

The two of them ate and chatted, with Deidara recounting his memories of building the bridge one sentence at a time.

Heitu listened, and from not understanding at first, he gradually accepted and understood.

But after finishing her grilled fish, she finally decided to ask again.

"Brother Deidara, are you really not going back to Iwagakure?"

Deidara pulled out a tissue from the side, wiped his mouth, drank the second bottle of beer which had about one third left, and put it on the table.

"I left Iwagakure because I couldn't stand the harsh looks and comments from the villagers and other ninjas."

"But in Konoha, the uncle at the tavern comforted me and said that I was a natural fireworks master. Qianye helped me find another job that could gain people's respect and that I also liked."

"What reason do I have to betray the village again and leave here?"

"See you later. It's getting late. I need to go back to rest. When you have time, you can come to see me at Apartment 11, Building 203, Fandou Community."

After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets and walked out the door.

Only Kurotsuchi was left, sighing as he looked at the swirling pattern on the back of Deidara's ninja vest.

"Ah... Never mind. Since Deidara can only live happier here, let him stay here."

"Anyway, being in Konoha is better than being in Akatsuki."

After saying that, he left and returned to the Iwagakure Embassy. He lay quietly on the bed in the room, lost consciousness and fell asleep unknowingly.

As for Deidara, he now came to the square of Konoha Village, surrounded by a group of children and adults.

"All eyes are on me!"

"I have an announcement!"

Everyone looked curiously at Deidara in the center of the square, looking at the young man, wondering what he was going to do.

Deidara reached into the clay bag at his waist with his fingertips, then clenched his fists and raised them high.

"There will be a free fireworks show tonight, everyone please stay away and don't get hurt by mistake~!"

After hearing this, a group of children clapped and cheered.

"Yeah~!"

"Big brother, you are going to set off fireworks for us~"

"Wow, the jonin's big brother is letting us have fireworks for free!?"

"I want to see fireworks in the shape of rabbits!"

"Me, me, me, I want to see the lollipop style one."

"Let me go first, I want to see a firework that touches the head!"

Amidst laughter and joy, Deidara molded a cannon barrel out of clay, held it up in both hands, and pointed it towards the sky.

"Scared children, remember to cover your ears, fireworks are coming!"

Bang Bang Bang ~!

Fireworks shot straight into the sky from the gun barrel, dragging colorful tails in the sky, and finally exploded in the night sky.

All of a sudden, a rainbow-colored lollipop, a chubby white rabbit, and an oval-shaped smile with squinting eyes and a big hand on its head appeared in the center.

There are also snowflakes, raindrops, five-pointed stars and various forms of light and shadow around, which even take away the highlight moments of the moon at night.

Tsunade, who was working overtime in the office, looked outside when she heard the sound, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"When did this kind of fireworks appear in the village? They are quite beautiful..."
