Naruto's Best Actor

Chapter 19 A tragedy caused by a painting

With Banzhen.

"Tch, what kind of information does this old man Onoki ask me to collect? Are you a servant?"

Deidara complained dissatisfiedly as he walked down the street, holding a bunch of takoyaki in his hand.

Although this town is not big, it is very lively.On both sides of the street, there are many izakayas and restaurants.Although Deidara didn't have the heart to collect information, he was very interested in eating, drinking and having fun during his official duties.

"Uncle, please tell me how to get to the art exhibition held in the town."

The uncle at the stall greeted him enthusiastically: "Young man, are you here to see the art exhibition? Go west from here to the end and just turn a corner."

This art exhibition brought a lot of vitality to the town, and by the way, it also brought a lot of business to these merchants.

These days, this uncle has seen a lot of people of all kinds including businessmen, samurai, monks, including ninjas.Therefore, he was very enthusiastic about Deidara.

“Young man, let’s have some noodle soup.”

"Oh, thank you, uncle." Deidara was stunned and took the noodle soup from his uncle's hand.

When Deidara came to the venue where the art exhibition was held, there were few people here because it was afternoon.

The venue was huge, and Deidara easily blended in.There were not many people in the venue, but most of them gathered in one area.

Deidara also came closer and saw that what everyone was arguing about was a painting called Life. What did the author express?

Deidara glanced at the painting, his big eyes widened, his face full of excitement.

.......

"Are you sure?"

Haishu stood outside the venue, and a ninja quietly walked to his side.

"Yes, sir, we just saw Scorpion walking in. We haven't found out what his intentions are yet."

"I understand, this is the place of the great businessman Jiuzong. Don't act yet, let me give you a heads-up with Mr. Jiuzong."

As an elite Jonin, it was too easy for Umiki to find someone with the support of his subordinates' intelligence.

Soon, he found Jiuzong drinking tea after dinner in a teahouse on the street.

"Lord Hisamune"

Haishu came to Jiuzong and bowed his head slightly.

"You are"

"I am Umiki, a Jonin from Sunagakure Village. At this moment, an S-level traitor from our country has sneaked into the venue where you are holding an art exhibition. We would like to ask for your permission to enter and capture him."

I thought Jiuzong would agree to him for safety reasons.However, after Jiuzong listened, he shook his head with a look of reluctance.

"The exhibits in the venue come from various countries, and most of them are well-known artists from various countries. Not only the country of birds, but also the important minister Akashi of your country, and the seventeenth son Boya, their works are also exhibited. This matter is very important, I can't do this. I promise you easily”

"However, that guy is an extremely dangerous person. Let him enter it like this. I don't know what will happen."

"In short, you can't do anything in the venue."

Jiuzong's attitude was very firm and he had no intention of wavering at all.

.......

in the venue.

The art exhibition should be kept quiet in order to express one's artistic accomplishment and respect for the artist's work.

But now, the debate about life has reached a fever pitch, and even the buzzing sound in the venue continues.

Deidara saw the people in the venue arguing endlessly, and thought to himself, you are a bunch of idiots, let me tell you what real art is.

It's just that Deidara just thought of pretending...not when sharing art.In his field of vision, a red-haired guy walked out first.

"This painting declares the art of life. From the author's brushstrokes, the choice of paint, to the layer changes of the scenery, everything expresses a theme, that is, the beauty of life. The author is able to express this eternal beauty , it can be seen that his artistic attainments are very high and not inferior to mine."

Deidara listened to the red-haired guy and couldn't help but nodded. Just when he was about to agree, the guy continued.

"So, what is the beauty of life? That is eternity, passing on the eternity of art. That is what the author wants to express to us."

"wrong"

Deidara immediately objected, and everyone, including the Red Sand Scorpion, focused their attention on him.

"The author is depicting the beauty of life, I agree with this. However, judging from the thickness of the lines, the vivid colors, and the astonishing impact of the entire painting, what the author wants to express is that the beauty of life lies in moments. Only in moments. There is a moment of beauty that reveals the true meaning of life.”

The Crimson Sand Scorpion and Dilada looked at each other, with disdain in their eyes.

"Impossible. Although the lines in this painting are thick and powerful, they are very long, going around and around, and there seems to be no end between the changes in levels. The continuous feeling clearly speaks of eternity."

"You just saw one of them. Although the lines are long, the whole structure has a sense of expansion. Just like the feeling of explosion, the impact of that moment is the true beauty of art."

"Nonsense"

"You shit-stirring stick"

"Yellow-haired one, what did you say?"

"The red-haired one is talking about you."

Seeing that the two people were about to fight, a group of onlookers nearby said something.

"I heard that this painting was painted by Bird Shadow of Luyin Village. Wouldn't you know if you asked the author himself?"

The two of them looked at each other in sudden realization.

"Anyone with yellow hair, if you have the ability, follow me to Luyin Village."

"Just go, anyone who doesn't will be a grandson. When the time comes, I will show you what real art is."

.......

Luyin Village, the leader's house.

Ye Cang successfully handed over the task. At this moment, Shikamaru, Konan, Yahiko and others were gathering together to eat hot pot.

"Ye Cang is back, let's have hot pot together."

“What is hot pot?”

"This guy created it, but it tastes really good." Xiaonan took a piece of venison and poured it into the Yuanyang pot.After a while, the meat slices with thick spicy oil came out of the pan.Xiao Nan ate it in one bite, and her whole body felt hot.

Ye Cang was attracted by the hot pot and quickly joined in. Halfway through eating, Ye Cang suddenly remembered.

"Shikamaru-sama, that painting is already on display, but everyone is arguing about what it is."

Shikamaru scratched his head and said: "When we were eating hot pot that day, Xiaonan took away all the meat and vermicelli that I loved. What a beast. When I woke up the next day, I thought of those lovely meat and vermicelli. It looked like it was floating in a hot pot, so I drew this picture.”

"........"

"Then why do you call this painting life?"

"Imagining that these lovely meat and vermicelli were wasted by this foodie, I felt a burst of sadness. As a great man said, hotpot without meat and vermicelli is incomplete, and incomplete hotpot is exactly what it means. A profanation of life.”
