True... "art"?
Deidara was momentarily stunned.
He never imagined,
He would hear such words from this man's mouth.
Could it be...
He also understands the art of explosion...?
No,
No way...!!
This guy... just now treated my explosive clay like a toy!
How could he possibly understand?!
Thinking this,
Deidara gritted his teeth again, staring at Kyo, and said sharply:
"What are you talking about, hey?!"
"The ultimate explosion is true art, right?!"
"I don't care what you..."
However,
His words were only halfway out when he suddenly froze!
Because at that moment,
He suddenly noticed,
Behind Kyo, some cherry-colored intense light had begun to emerge, flickering like flames!
Then, around him, an immense, overwhelming pressure surged forth instantly!
That sense of oppressiveness was like a sovereign descending upon the heavens!
It even made Deidara involuntarily hold his breath!
This...
What is this?!
This unbelievable sense of oppressiveness... could it be... his true power...?!?!
Deidara felt a chill run down his spine,
His pupils involuntarily shrank!
And then,
Kyo wasn't looking at him anymore.
He merely raised his eyes calmly, looking towards the distant mountain of boulders.
Strolling through the sky,
He lightly raised one hand and spoke calmly.
"Limit of the thousands hands, respectful hands, unable to touch the darkness. Shooting hands unable to reflect the blue sky."
His voice echoed through the sky like a chant, full of poetic rhythm.
But it also subtly revealed a powerful oppressiveness!
Seeing this,
Both Deidara in the sky and Zetsu on the ground were stunned.
Wh-what's going on...?
This guy, why did he suddenly start reciting poetry...?
And,
What's with this increasingly powerful oppressiveness...?!
It feels like...
The air could explode at any moment!
Deidara gritted his teeth, a bead of sweat forming on his forehead.
Could it be...
This guy is really about to unleash some kind of explosion...
And just as he was horrified,
Kyo remained focused, looking calmly ahead, softly chanting.
"The road that basks in light, the wind that ignited the embers, time that gathers when both are together, there is no need to be hesitant, obey my orders."
"Light bullets, eight bodies, nine items, book of heaven, diseased treasure, great wheel, grey fortress tower."
"Aim far away, scatter brightly and cleanly when fired."
By this point,
The density of Spiritual Pressure around him had completely peaked!
The cherry-colored light around him grew increasingly intense, and in the next moment, all the cherry light began to converge!
It suddenly gathered into numerous huge cherry-colored beams of light!
All the beams, like bullets, were poised, flickering with dazzling, brilliant light, hovering in the sky, surrounding Kyo!!
The moment they appeared, the entire sky seemed to be illuminated in magnificent cherry-red!
And then,
Kyo slightly curled his lips, his golden eyes gleaming, raised his hand, and said calmly:
"Hado #91: Senju Koten Taiho."
Clang!
The moment the words fell!
All the cherry-colored beams, in an instant, charged out in unison!!
The target was that distant mountain of boulders!
Unparalleled speed!
Earth-shaking oppressiveness!
A rumbling sensation like thunder!
Everything was like a spectacular visual effect, all the cherry beams reaching the mountain in an instant.
And the next moment...
Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the cherry-colored beams exploded simultaneously!!!
Flames shot into the sky, like a cherry-colored cross, instantly annihilating everything they touched into dust!!!!
A deafening roar erupted from the explosion, like mountains collapsing and seas overturning, the earth splitting!!!
At this moment!!
The entire world seemed to consist of nothing but the explosion!!!
The immense flames, like a blazing sun, illuminated all of Iwagakure in a brilliant color, dazzling and almost impossible to look at directly!!!
And that sprawling mountain, in an instant, became a bottomless giant crater!!!
Even so!
The cherry flames still emitted the burning light of the explosion, constantly blooming, constantly withering, destroying everything they touched!!
At this moment,
The explosion caused by Deidara earlier,
In front of the cherry-colored light bursts Kyo had unleashed, seemed as insignificant as... a speck of dust!!!
The gap was like a chasm!!
At this moment,
Deidara was completely frozen, his expression one of shock!
Even though the light was too dazzling to look at directly, he still stared wide-eyed, fixed on the scene!!
In his eyes,
For the first time, two completely different expressions appeared: horror and excitement!!
Faced with such immense power,
He suddenly began to perceive an unparalleled kind of intensity!!
This...
What... power is this?!?!
Such ultimate gorgeousness and brilliance...
And...
An incredibly strong sense of oppressiveness!!
So this,
Is what he meant by... true art?!!!!
Gazing at the distant explosion,
At this moment,
Deidara's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth involuntarily stretching wide!
Excitement!!
Longing!!
Desire!!
All his previous pursuits of the ultimate explosive art now seemed realized before this cherry-colored light burst!!
This is the real explosion!!!
This is what truly deserves to be called damn art!!!!!
Deidara screamed in his heart.
He stood on the clay bird, staring at the distant explosion light, even though his body was locked, his expression was still excited beyond words!
However,
Zetsu below, seeing this scene, was completely frozen.
This...
Such a massive explosive attack...?!
What is this?!
...
And at that moment, far away in Iwagakure.
Onoki and the squad of Iwagakure Shinobi behind him were completely frozen!
Everyone stared intently at the explosion before them, their eyes filled with unimaginable shock and horror!
"Th-this kind of explosion... no way...!!"
"It's terrifying... Could this be a new type of bomb Deidara developed...!!?"
"Ah, this... If Deidara used this whole explosion to attack the village, then... wouldn't the entire village be destroyed?!"
Countless Iwagakure Shinobi looked on in horror, unable to help swallowing nervously.
As everyone knew,
The area of this mountain of boulders far exceeded the size of Iwagakure.
And now,
That single blast had annihilated it all in an instant!
This kind of terrifying range and destructive power, coupled with an overwhelming sense of oppressiveness... was unheard of!!
And at this moment,
Onoki's expression was naturally frozen, looking grim.
His gaze darkly fixed on the deep hole ahead.
What's going on...?
Could this really be Deidara's attack...?
No...
Something's not right!
Both the form of the explosion and the previous aura felt completely different from Deidara's Explosion Release!
Clearly, this was an attack launched by someone else!
That is to say,
Deidara... was very likely engaged in battle with someone!
Realizing this,
Onoki gritted his teeth, looked back at the others, and said grimly:
"These are special circumstances!"
"You all wait here for now!"
"I need to go there immediately myself!"
"...?!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked!
Then, they all urged:
"Tsuchikage-sama! Please let us go with you!!"
"Yes, Tsuchikage-sama, how could we let you go into danger alone?!"
"That's right, Tsuchikage-sama!!"
However,
Hearing this, Onoki's expression instantly darkened, and he said firmly:
"With an attack of this power, even if you go, can you withstand it?!"
"If you really follow, and a fight breaks out, would I have to constantly watch out for your safety instead?!"
Onoki said bluntly, without restraint.
He knew,
Only by speaking so directly could he avoid their stubbornness.
Sure enough,
Hearing this,
The Shinobi were momentarily stunned.
Then, they looked at each other, their expressions helpless.
They all knew,
Although what Onoki said was a bit harsh,
It was,
The truth.
With such a massive attack,
None of them present could withstand it...
Going would only become a burden.
Thinking this,
They could only watch helplessly as Onoki leaped up,
Flew over the crater, into the sky,
And disappeared into the distance.
"..."
"Tsuchikage-sama... you must win!"
"What are you talking about? Tsuchikage-sama is the strongest among the contemporary Kage! How could he lose?!"
"Exactly! Dust Release is number one in the world! No way he can lose!"
