Sasuke! The eagle has grown
There's no doubt that Deidara loved art.
But it's also true that Deidara wasn't very bright.
When he unleashed his Ultimate Art self-destruction, he even forgot that the Shinki possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique, which allowed him to teleport to any location at any time.
One more thing.
Although he had let Scorpion and Tobi escape before he self-destructed, he underestimated the power of his explosion.
The explosion turned all the trees within a ten-kilometer radius of Deidara into charred remains or even ashes...
He had only managed to get his two companions to run away a dozen seconds before the explosion.
In the entire Ninja world, besides the Flying Thunder God Technique, what other Ninjutsu can teleport ten kilometers in just a few seconds...?
At this moment, a strange Space-Time vortex appeared in the forest that had been reduced to scorched earth.
Immediately afterwards, Tobi and Scorpion burst out of the vortex!
"Deidara's final self-destruction? How terrifying!!"
Scorpion looked at the scorched earth and sighed.
Although Deidara is always arguing with himself about art.
But in some ways, the two are kindred spirits.
Sasori was still somewhat affected by Deidara's death.
"Thanks to you, Tobi! Without your Space-Time Ninjutsu, we'd probably both be corpses from Deidara's self-destruction by now."
Scorpion turned to look at Tobi, who was wearing a mask beside him, and said seriously.
Tobi scratched his head, seemingly a little embarrassed. "Don't say that, Senior Scorpion. I believe you'll be safe and sound even without me. ૧(●´৺`●)૭"
"By the way, did that Red-Haired Kid actually die from Deidara's art?"
Scorpion shook his head. "Who would know about that kind of thing?"
"But I feel that the child shouldn't die so easily..."
"I feel the same way."
Tobi's voice turned somber, unusually serious.
Meanwhile, in Amegakure (Amegakure).
This village is strange; ever since Jiraiya stepped into it, the heavy rain has never stopped...
At this time.
Jiraiya was in a brothel in the village, embracing a beautiful blonde woman, his cheeks flushed from drinking.
"Tsunade, your waves, surges, and roars are almost as powerful as the real Tsunade's. ( ˝ᗢ̈˝ )"
Jiraiya took a sip of sake and said contentedly.
"You flatter me, sir."
The woman known as Tezuna laughed merrily.
Jiraiya casually remarked, "By the way, I've been in Amegakure for a while now, why is it always raining in this village?"
This wasn't a secret to the village. Tsuna casually explained, "This rain is all created by Pain's Chakra, so he can control the changes throughout Amegakure."
Jiraiya murmured to himself, "So that's how it is. From the moment we stepped into this village, Pain knew everything we did...?"
Then, Jiraiya got up and walked to the entrance of the kabuki hall.
He looked up at the gray sky and the torrential rain.
"Coo--"
Suddenly, a frog jumped out from the corner of the wall.
Without leaving a trace, Jiraiya picked up the frog from the ground and took a letter from its mouth.
After avoiding the eyes of everyone in the Kabuki Hall, Jiraiya hid in the shadows and opened the letter.
[Pain, owner of the Rinnegan]
After seeing the specific contents of the letter.
Jiraiya was struck dumb, frozen in place!
Σ( ° △ °|||)
This letter came from Konoha, so the information is probably accurate!
But if it's true, it's even more surprising!!
Jiraiya had encountered three children, two boys and one girl, many years ago.
Among them was a child with red hair who always covered his eyes; he possessed the Rinnegan!
At the time, the young Jiraiya believed that this child was the savior prophesied by the Great Toad Sage.
So Jiraiya took three children as his disciples and taught them diligently until they were able to live independently before leaving.
Unfortunately, a few years later, he received news of the deaths of several of his children!
Legend has it that the Rinnegan belonged to the Sage of Six Paths and was known as the Sage's Eye.
These eyes must be extremely rare!
Therefore, the Leader of Akatsuki, the god of Amegakure, Pain.
It's very likely that it was his disciple from back then, the child with the Rinnegan — Nagato!
"It's hard to tell what's true and what's false."
"Some things you really have to see for yourself."
Jiraiya said this, burned the letter, and walked out of the Kabuki Hall.
The Great Toad Sage mentioned that, as the savior's master, his actions would influence the future landscape of the Shinobi World.
Jiraiya had an idea.
Now, it's probably time for me to make a decision.
Is his disciple a savior or a destroyer of the world...?
On the other side.
Inside Orochimaru base.
Kabuto reported everything he had seen and heard about capturing the Three-Tails to Orochimaru.
After hearing Kabuto's account, Orochimaru covered his face in exasperation. "That woman was incredibly stupid, actually trying to fight that child head-on... What a pity, she lost another reincarnated body!"
As they were talking, the base's intelligence personnel pushed open the door and reported the latest news: Guren and Yukimaru were dead, the Three-Tails had been sealed by the Shinki, and Deidara of the Akatsuki had self-destructed while fighting the Shinki.
"Self-destruction, no wonder I felt a slight tremor in the base just now. (||๐_๐)" Kabuto said thoughtfully.
"Deidara self-destructed during the battle against the Shinki, so is there any news about the Shinki now?(´°Δ°`)"
Orochimaru asked with some concern.
No at the moment.
The intelligence officer answered truthfully.
"Okay, you can go now."
Orochimaru frowned and waved his hand.
"Lord Orochimaru, I think you have absolutely no need to worry about Shinki's safety. His strength is evident to the entire Shinobi World," Kabuto said.
Orochimaru nodded.
Although he believed in his heart that the Shinki wouldn't die, he was well aware of the explosive power of Deidara, that explosive maniac...
He would be heartbroken if anything happened to the Shinki...
"Let's not talk about that now. My health is the most important thing," Orochimaru continued.
"Now that Guren is dead, Sasuke is the only vessel I can use for reincarnation."
"Kabuto, go and prepare for the Reincarnation Ritual."
"I originally planned to take over his body after he awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan... but now I can't wait any longer...(´- へ-,)"
Orochimaru said it was a bit of a pity.
"Alright, then I'll take my leave." Dou accepted the order.
After Kabuto left, Orochimaru lay on the hospital bed, looking up at the ceiling with a complicated expression, lost in thought.
On the other side, in Sasuke's room.
Sasuke is preparing to put his long-planned scheme into action.
He was now facing the door, his eyes now blood-red Sharingan crackling in his palms, and the Kusanagi Sword given to him by Yuhi Orochimaru tucked behind his waist...
Fully prepared and ready to go!
Sasuke's eyes were dark as he muttered to himself.
"The fledgling eagle has grown up; you can no longer manipulate it at will, Orochimaru."
