An explosion even more powerful than the one that destroyed the town occurred.
Before the deafening sound arrived, an extremely blinding light appeared before Minato Namikaze and the others.
It was as if a second Sun had appeared on the ground!
The sunlight thus became considerably dimmer.
The three of them immediately bent over and lowered their heads to avoid the light and the impending impact.
Boom~
A tremendous sound slowly approached, followed closely by the shockwave from the explosion.
Minato Namikaze grabbed Coulson and Hawkeye, and the three of them hid behind a boulder. Minato Namikaze also used Chakra to stabilize his feet, which prevented any of them from being blown away.
The airflow shockwave moved slowly but steadily.
As it spread, its power gradually diminished, eventually reaching the small town.
Although the explosion site was several kilometers away from the town, the townspeople still felt a strong wind!
The S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents stared at the massive mushroom cloud, their minds seemingly going blank.
Some even muttered unconsciously, "Such power is comparable to a low-yield tactical Negasonic Teenage Warhead. Is this really something the Akatsuki possesses?"
"Have we been fighting against terrorist organizations like this all along?"
Clearly, this person was terrified by Deidara's power.
If Deidara were here right now, he would be even happier!
Nothing could make Deidara happier than having his art 'recognized'.
As for why it's 'happier', it's because Deidara is already very happy now.
The Shukaku One-Tail been successfully captured!
Even the One-Tail, which is best at defense among all the Tailed Beasts, would find it difficult to withstand such an explosive attack under such circumstances.
Its original massive size of nearly 100 meters has shrunk to only three or four meters in height, with many parts of its body collapsed, as if it is about to lose its shape.
Seeing this, Obito patted Deidara on the shoulder, telling him to descend.
Then he leaped down, pulled out a huge scroll, and used Sealing Jutsu to seal the little One-Tail inside.
Seeing this, Deidara couldn't help but ask, "Tobi, I blasted the One-Tail down to this small piece. Won't that affect the effect? I remember the boss said he wanted to do that... you know..."
Obito. "I sealed it along with its Chakra. Although One-Tail 'Shukaku size has shrunk, its Chakra reserves haven't decreased much."
"In that case, let's go! There's no oden or fried eggs here, I'm starving!" Deidara shouted, urging the flying bird to carry Obito away into the distance.
Seeing this from a distance, Minato Namikaze and the others asked Coulson, "Mr. Namikaze, aren't you going to give chase?"
Minato Namikaze shook his head slightly, then nodded. " With Tobi's Intangibility ability, even if I chase after him, I won't be able to reclaim the One-Tail. However, I still have to chase after them; at least I can disrupt them or find their lair!"
"But in that case, I can't bring you along."
Coulson and Hawkeye exchanged a glance, both seeing resentment in each other's eyes.
Even though they were unwilling, they did not raise any objections, because at this moment, they were just a burden to Minato Namikaze.
This is undeniable.
Seeing that the two were very sensible, Minato Namikaze nodded in satisfaction, then instructed Coulson, "Go back as soon as you've finished dealing with things here!"
After receiving Coulson's affirmative reply, Minato Namikaze then said to Hawkeye, "After you go back, go find Wu Chen. I'll stay at his house for a few days after we finish chasing down the two Akatsuki."
"I understand, Master Minato!"
Then, Minato Namikaze transformed into a golden light, flashing continuously in the direction where Tobi and Deidara had left.
Coulson hesitated, then ultimately kept quiet.
Seeing Barton's curiosity, Coulson said irritably, "I was just thinking of having Mr. Namikaze wear a recording device, but then I thought that might affect his combat effectiveness, so I gave up on that idea."
After explaining, Coulson and Hawkeye returned to the town to handle the aftermath.
A small town was destroyed.
Although there were no casualties, handling the aftermath was not a simple matter.
It is estimated that Coulson will not return to New York for several days.
Hawkeye also needs to stay and keep Coulson company.
After all, his combat skills were superior to those of other agents, including Coulson.
Thus, the Thor Incident on Earth came to an end, but the Thor storyline in Asgard was far from over.
When Thor returned to Asgard with his fellow sufferers, he was horrified to see this scene.
His father, with guards at his side, personally escorted Loki, preparing to banish him into the endless void!
The reason for this is quite simple.
While Thor was being held back on Earth, Loki, seeing that his plot had been exposed, prepared to use the Bifrost to destroy Jotunheim, the planet of the Frost Giants.
The reason for this is, of course, because Loki doesn't want others to know about his shameful past.
