"Then let's try something powerful!"
His hands kneaded frantically, and one clay bird after another flew out from his hands, covering the sky as they flew toward the Three-Tails!
Boom boom boom boom boom—!!!
A series of explosions erupted on the Three-Tails' body! Flames shot into the sky, and smoke and dust filled the air!
The Three-Tails was blasted back a step.
But it was only a single step.
As the smoke cleared, a few charred marks appeared on its body, and that was all.
"Roar—!!!"
The Three-Tails was enraged.
It opened its massive maw, and Tailed Beast Chakra condensed frantically!
A black Tailed Beast Ball was taking shape!
Deidara's pupils constricted.
"Want to use a Tailed Beast Ball? It's not that easy!"
He bit his finger, smeared it on his palm, and then pressed his hands together!
"C3: No. 18!"
A giant Clay Doll rose from behind him and was then violently hurled toward the Three-Tails!
Boom—!!!
The Clay Doll exploded in mid-air, turning into a massive mushroom cloud!
Its power was more than ten times stronger than the previous explosions!
The Three-Tails was blasted back dozens of meters, plowing two deep trenches into the ground!
The Tailed Beast Ball that was condensing also dissipated due to the Chakra disturbance!
"Hahaha! Did you see that! This is my art!"
Deidara stood on the giant bird, laughing toward the sky.
The Three-Tails struggled to its feet, its single eye filled with fury.
It had lived for over a thousand years; when had it ever been blasted like this by a human?
It opened its massive maw again, and a Tailed Beast Ball began to condense once more!
"Again?"
Deidara gave a disdainful laugh.
He pulled out a larger piece of clay from his robe and kneaded it frantically with both hands.
Soon, a giant Clay Buddha Statue took shape in his hands.
"C4: Garuda!"
He suddenly tore open the clothes on his chest, revealing the giant mouth on his chest!
Countless tiny Clay Bombs flew out of that mouth, swarming toward the Three-Tails like a hive of bees!
The Three-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball was also fired at this moment!
The black beam of light collided violently with the sky full of micro-explosions!
Boom—!!!
The heavens collapsed and the earth split!
A blinding light swallowed everything!
The shockwave rippled outward like a tsunami, peeling away a layer of the ground for several kilometers around!
The Three-Tails' massive forty-nine-meter-long body was shaken off the ground by the shockwave, flipped in the air, and then—
Boom!!!
It slammed heavily onto the ground five hundred meters away!
It struggled to get up, only to find that its entire body was powerless.
Those tiny Clay Bombs had already crawled into the gaps of its shell and exploded inside its body!
Although they couldn't kill it, the impact had already begun to blur its consciousness.
"Roar..."
The Three-Tails let out a weak low roar, and its single eye slowly closed.
It had been knocked unconscious by the blast.
Deidara stood on the giant bird, panting heavily, but the smile on his face was brighter than ever.
"Hahaha! It worked! I knocked out a Tailed Beast!"
He turned to look at Tobi.
"Tobi! Did you see that! This is art!"
Tobi still spoke in that lazy tone: "Yes, yes, yes~ Senior Deidara is truly amazing~"
Deidara jumped down from the giant bird, landed beside the Three-Tails, and circled around it.
"It's so big, how are we going to take it away..."
Then, he suddenly remembered something and turned to look in the direction of Yang Jiu.
That silver-gold giant wolf was still standing in the same spot, motionless.
From beginning to end, it hadn't made a move.
It just watched.
Deidara's smile froze on his face.
An indescribable unease suddenly surged in his heart.
"Hey, Tobi..."
His voice was a bit dry.
"That wolf... from start to finish, it hasn't moved..."
Tobi was silent for a second.
Then, he said in that same annoying tone:
"Yeah~ It seems like... it's been watching the show all along."
Deidara's cold sweat began to pour.
And in the distance.
Yang Jiu looked at the unconscious Three-Tails and the two members of the Akatsuki Organization, a hint of amusement flashing in his golden eyes.
"Interesting."
He murmured.
"To be able to make the Three-Tails suffer a setback, they've got some skill."
Then, he stepped forward.
Step by step.
His ten-meter-long silver-gold body cast a long shadow under the sunlight.
Those eyes, burning with golden flames, were looking down at Deidara from above.
"Now—"
His voice was low like rumbling thunder.
"Is it my turn?"
Deidara subconsciously took a step back but forced himself to stop.
"Tch, quit acting!"
He shook his head, suppressing that inexplicable unease.
"It's just a slightly larger wolf! What's there to be afraid of!"
He turned to look at Tobi.
"Tobi, watch from the side. I'm going to show this wolf what true art is!"
Tobi was silent for a second.
Then, he stepped back a few paces, hands in his pockets.
"Good luck, Senior Deidara~"
That tone was still as annoying as ever.
But his eyes were fixed on Yang Jiu, never leaving him.
Deidara pressed his hands onto his Clay Bags and suddenly threw them up!
Dozens of Clay Spiders crawled toward Yang Jiu, covering the ground!
"Art is an explosion! Katsu!"
Boom boom boom boom boom—!!!
A series of explosions erupted around Yang Jiu! Flames shot into the sky, and smoke and dust filled the air!
However—
The center of the explosion was empty.
Yang Jiu had appeared thirty meters away at some point, standing lazily in place.
"Too slow."
His voice was as calm as if he were commenting on today's weather.
Deidara's smile froze.
"He... he dodged?"
He gritted his teeth and formed hand seals again.
"Then try this! C2: Giant Dragon!"
A giant clay dragon emerged from the clay behind him, opened its maw, and spat a series of Clay Bombs at Yang Jiu!
These bombs covered an area of a hundred meters; there was nowhere to hide!
Boom boom boom boom boom—!!!
The explosions completely enveloped the entire area!
Deidara panted heavily, staring intently at the flames.
Three seconds later.
The flames dissipated.
Yang Jiu was still standing outside the range of the explosion.
He hadn't even run; he had simply turned into a streak of Golden Lightning the moment the bombs fell and lightly shifted his position.
"Your aim isn't good either."
Yang Jiu I yawned.
Deidara's face began to turn pale.
"You... you..."
He pointed at Yang Jiu tremblingly but couldn't speak a complete sentence.
Tobi watched from the side, a hint of solemnity flashing in his single eye.
This wolf's speed... was too fast.
So fast that Deidara's attacks couldn't touch him at all.
"Senior Deidara."
He spoke, his tone unusually serious.
"Let's attack together."
Deidara was stunned.
"What?"
"This wolf is not simple." Tobi stepped forward and stood side-by-side with Deidara. "In a one-on-one fight, neither of us is its match."
Deidara fell silent.
He looked at Yang Jiu's golden eyes and the arcs of electricity occasionally dancing around his body, finally nodding.
"...Fine."
The two glanced at each other and moved simultaneously!
Deidara's hands formed seals frantically, and a giant Clay Buddha Statue rose from behind him!
"C3: No. 18!"
Tobi's figure instantly vanished from the spot and reappeared behind Yang Jiu the next second, his right hand forming a claw to pierce toward Yang Jiu's back!
The sneak attack, enhanced by Kamui, was so fast it was almost invisible!
A pincer attack!
Yang Jiu stood in place.
He didn't dodge.
He only smiled.
"Now this is a bit interesting."
Then—
He lowered his head and glanced at them.
Just a single glance.
