The blood was bright red, staining Hidan's red scythe.
The pain came,
Deidara's gaze instantly trembled slightly.
"...?!"
He truly hadn't expected.
Hidan, who had just been lying on the ground, would suddenly attack!
Even more unexpected,
The scythe in his hand could extend...
Thud.
Deidara stepped back with a dark expression to a position three meters away.
Then, he immediately frowned and looked at the wound on his calf, seeing a subtle but clear cut.
Then, he looked up at Hidan, lifted his chin, and said unhappily:
"Tch..."
"Didn't expect you still had the strength for a sneak attack!"
"I should have blown you up again..."
However,
Before he could finish,
Suddenly,
Ahead, Hidan, covered in explosion wounds, suddenly stood up shakily.
"Huh?"
Deidara was momentarily stunned.
This...
After being hit by all three of my explosions just now, he can... get up this quickly?
However,
Just as he was thinking,
Hidan across from him suddenly gritted his teeth and looked this way, shouting ferociously:
"Damn it! You damn brat..."
"That explosion attack hurt!! It hurt, you know?!"
As his words fell, before Deidara across from him could react, Hidan suddenly lifted the scythe in his hand and quickly licked the blood on the blade.
That was precisely the blood obtained from ambushing Deidara just now.
Then, he raised his eyes and stared at Deidara, full of anger:
"Hmph..."
"I need to make you, brat, feel the pain I just felt...!"
Hidan said viciously.
Seeing this, Deidara was momentarily stunned.
Huh?
This guy... what's wrong with him...
Did he eat my blood?
Tch...
Disgusting!
Seeing this, Deidara immediately crossed his hands and raised them, two more white clay bombs appearing in his palms.
He slightly raised his eyes and said coldly:
"It seems..."
"You're not convinced yet. Then try this, hmm!"
As his words fell,
Deidara hesitated no longer and directly threw the two round clay bombs in his hands towards Hidan ahead!
Whoosh!
The round clay bombs instantly shot towards Hidan!
And just then,
Hidan's gaze flickered, and he directly stepped aside, dodging.
He evaded the two incoming clay bombs.
However, even so,
Deidara still showed no panic at all. Instead, he raised his hand and suddenly formed a seal, then curled his lips and smiled contemptuously:
"Ha! Too naive!"
Clang!
The moment the seal was completed,
The two round clays that had shot out suddenly transformed into the shape of bats, as if they had come to life!
Under Deidara's control, they directly began to turn and charge towards Hidan over here!
However,
Unexpectedly, Hidan also revealed a strange smile and sneered:
"You're the naive one yourself, brat!"
As his words fell,
He suddenly raised his hand, and black and white line patterns began to appear on it. Then, his entire skin color began to change!!
Finally, his whole figure turned into a strange black and white color!!
"...?"
Seeing this, Deidara was shocked.
However,
Although confused, he dared not be careless. He immediately sank his gaze.
Directly manipulating the two bat bombs to charge and explode!
"Katsu!"
Accompanied by a low shout,
In an instant, the clay bombs directly exploded around Hidan!
Blazing flames shot into the sky, a fierce shockwave swept through the surroundings, engulfing Hidan's body completely!
Seeing this, Zetsu, watching from the tree, felt a chill in his heart.
As expected of Iwagakure's genius,
This Explosion Release... in a sense, truly has great power...
However,
Before he could finish his exclamation,
Suddenly... a sudden change occurred again!
Across the way,
Deidara, who had been fine just a moment ago, suddenly seemed to be hit by some kind of invisible immense force. His expression changed drastically, and he spit out a mouthful of blood!!
"Pfft!!!"
At the same time, his body seemed to have countless explosion and burn scars appear on it!!
Thud!!!
Deidara's expression suddenly froze, and he fell down directly!!!
"???"
Seeing this,
At this moment, Zetsu on the tree was directly dumbfounded!
Huh??!
Wait wait wait!
What's going on...?!
Shouldn't the one blown by the explosive clay be Hidan?!?
Why...
Why did Deidara fall????
Zetsu was directly dumbfounded.
And the next moment,
The smoke across from him began to clear, revealing... Hidan inside, with not a single scar on his body!!!
Unlike the previous time he was blown down, this time, he seemed to directly ignore the explosion!!!
"??!"
Realizing this, of course, Zetsu wasn't the only one dumbfounded.
Deidara, lying on the ground, was even more confused... incredulous!
Why...
Could he reflect my explosion back to me?!?!
Deidara's pupils contracted slightly,
Although the intense pain was coming from his body, he still maintained a high speed of thought!
And just then,
He suddenly noticed,
At some point, Hidan was actually... standing in that strange blood ritual array!!
"!"
Could it be... that thing was causing the trouble?!
Deidara's breath suddenly caught.
And at this moment,
Hidan across from him immediately revealed an excited maniacal laugh, looked at Deidara over here, and shouted excitedly:
"Haha brat!"
"Now you also feel the pain of being blown by clay, right?!"
"See?!"
"This is the curse power bestowed upon me by Jashin-sama!!!"
"From the moment your blood was taken by me just now, now, no matter what damage I receive, it will all be returned to you, hahaha!!!"
Hidan raised his scythe and said fanatically.
In his eyes,
There seemed to be reverence for that Jashin-sama.
However,
After hearing this,
Both Deidara and Zetsu were directly frozen!
Wh...what?!
As long as blood is taken, no matter what damage, it can be returned to others...???
What the hell kind of disgusting ability is this!!!
Deidara's face turned slightly pale.
Although he was indeed skilled in various types of explosive tactics, if it really was as Hidan said, now, everything was useless!
Because, even the slightest explosion would return the damage to himself!!
Attacking him now would simply be self-harm!!
Thinking this,
Deidara immediately gritted his teeth, his expression extremely ugly!
Careless!!
Really... too careless!
Just now, he shouldn't have listened to that stupid Zetsu!
He should have stayed in the sky and blown this cult guy into mincemeat!!!
A trace of blood seeped from the corner of Deidara's mouth, but his gaze was sinister. Of course, he was very unwilling!
This was his first official mission, and it had turned out like this...
And at this moment,
On the branch, Zetsu was naturally also dumbfounded.
Huh???
This...
Did I screw over Deidara???
"..."
In the forest, the air suddenly fell silent.
And at this moment,
Hidan across from him, from somewhere, suddenly pulled out a sharp black spear!
He looked at Deidara over here, revealing a smug smile, and grinned:
"Brat..."
"You should be starting to regret insulting Jashin-sama just now, right?"
"However..."
"Regret is useless!"
"Next, I just need to pierce my heart with this spear... and I can send you straight to hell!!!"
As he spoke, a crazy expression appeared on Hidan's face.
Without a second word, he directly raised the spear in his hand and violently stabbed towards his own left chest!!
And there... was precisely the position of his heart!!!
Seeing this,
In an instant,
Deidara's mind went completely blank!!!
And Zetsu on the tree,
Was completely dumbfounded!!!
What the hell...!!?
Crazy, right?!!!
Going straight for the heart???!!?!
Zetsu was directly dumbfounded!
"!!"
However,
At this critical moment!!!
Suddenly --
An extremely powerful terrifying oppressive feeling, like a coming storm, instantly descended from the sky!!!
The next moment,
A black figure, like a ghost, directly appeared, actually appearing right beside Hidan!
Then,
He just calmly reached out.
He directly grabbed the black spear in Hidan's hand that was about to stab down!
The tip of that spear,
Stopped just one centimeter from his chest,
And could no longer...
Advance any further!!!
