Deidara was flying away while Karin chased him from below, her speed was incredibly fast, but compared to flying, it still fell a little short.
The worst part was that the bastard kept throwing bombs at her, forcing her to keep dodging them.
This greatly irritated the girl.
Deidara had lost his left arm during his battle with Gaara, yet he still had his right arm, constantly molding clay and throwing it at her.
Karin was furious.
-In that case, don't blame me, you bastard!- Karin shouted.
The next moment, her curse mark was fully opened, and she entered directly into the second stage.
Karin's strength changed rapidly, her red hair turned a pale gray while her skin turned orange. She hated this form, which, in her opinion, made her very ugly, but now was not the time to hold back.
The next moment, she made a hand seal, her hair stiffened for a moment and pointed forward, strands of her hair transformed into thin needles that were shot directly towards Deidara.
Deidara's eyes widened as he ducked down while the needles struck the bird.
Karin smiled, and the next moment her chakra pulsed. - Seal!
Deidara was shocked, seals began to erupt from Karin's needles, directly covering the bird in a short time. Deidara lost control of the bird, which began to fall at high speed.
-Damn it! What the hell is that?!- Deidara cursed as he jumped away from the bird.
Gaara, trapped by the bird, was immediately knocked down, but Karin rushed forward, catching him in mid-air.
As soon as she touched him, she felt his cold body, causing her to frown, as expected, he was already dead.
This didn't surprise her, her chakra sense was incredibly strong. She had already sensed that Gaara's chakra had disappeared, but she hadn't said anything because she still hoped it was just sealed.
Unfortunately, when she picked him up, she was certain he was dead.
Deidara had fallen not far away, smiling. - It seems you realized, yes, he's already dead. Hn!
Karin simply frowned at him, her mission was to rescue the Kazekage. She failed.
In other words, she failed Jugo-sama.
Karin's chakra rippled fiercely, its mixture blending with Jugo's, exploding with malice.
-You idiot, it seems I can only use your corpse to mitigate my failure.- She said.
Deidara simply smiled as the ground beneath Karin suddenly opened up, and a clay centipede leaped out, ready to ensnare her.
However, behind Karin, several chains sprang from her back. One of the chains directly destroyed the clay, while the chain's sealing power prevented the centipede from exploding. The other chains advanced towards Deidara at high speed.
Deidara clicked his tongue as he dodged, and from his hand, a mouth opened. Three small birds jumped out as Deidara made a hand seal. They grew larger and flapped their wings rapidly toward Karin.
Karin, still holding Gaara, jumped away, her hair stiffening again as it transformed into needles and struck the birds, which fell, sealed, unable to explode.
Deidara was getting really annoyed.
At the very least, Karin should let his art be displayed, right? But every time this woman acted, her jutsu prevented the expected explosion, which frustrated him greatly.
-Try to seal this!- Deidara shouted as he plunged his hand into the clay, constantly dodging Karin's chains.
He pointed his hand at Karin, and from it, hundreds of small balls were thrown away, each one opening up soon after and transforming into tiny spiders.
Deidara smiled as the spiders continued to dodge the chains and hair, most were hit, but some managed to get closer.
-It's over! Katsu! - He grinned like a madman as he blasted the spiders.
A huge explosion of dozens of spiders struck Karin all at once, dust rose while Deidara still smiled, but when the dust settled, his smile froze. There, a dome had formed, dozens of chains had wrapped around Karin, transforming into her impenetrable defense.
Deidara frowned, but his pupils narrowed when he sensed movement below him. Leaping away, he dodged two chains that nearly ensnared him.
While Deidara was still in the air, his eyes widened when he saw another chain spring up from the ground, precisely from the direction he had chosen to flee.
He was still in the air, there wasn't time to dodge.
The next moment, Deidara was completely entangled in the chains.
The dome of chains that Karin had made retracted quickly. She smiled, looking at Deidara with a mocking grin, but when she noticed that Deidara's color was rapidly fading, leaving only a white clay doll in its place, she froze.
Frowning, she closed her eyes, then looked to her right, filled with anger.
Deidara was already far away, he had climbed onto another bird and was flying away as fast as he could. This time he hadn't chosen to act as bait, but really wanted to escape, so the bird was gaining altitude rapidly.
Karin frowned, although she could pursue him that way, the chance of catching him was very low.
The wretch had escaped.
Well, she had spoken harshly and really wanted to let Deidara escape, after all Jugo-sama had asked, but even so, her letting him escape and Deidara managing to escape on his own are completely different matters!
The bastard ran very fast!
Karin stomped her foot on the ground in frustration, creating a small crater, but in the end, she only grumbled a little more, putting the Kazekage aside. She sensed Chiyo approaching, now she could only deal with the old woman and explain that the Kazekage was dead.
This only made Karin more angry.
