"Where is Uchiha Itachi? Tell me and I'll let you go." At this moment, Sasuke didn't take Deidara seriously at all.
Little did Sasuke know that his arrogant attitude only enraged Deidara. "Who do you think you are?!"
That look in his eyes, those eyes, and even the tone of his voice—it's exactly the same as that guy's.
"You bastard who killed Orochimaru by virtue of your bloodline, stop being so smug!"
"Whoosh!"
A swift figure rushed in front of Deidara, and Sasuke thrust his sword at both of them in a short time.
Deidara, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and dodged the attack.
On the other side, Tobi also cooperated by falling to the ground.
"I've taken one down first." Sasuke remained as cold as ever, completely oblivious to anything amiss.
[Obito: Ah, Sasuke, shouldn't you check his weapon before you speak? How can you kill someone and not have a single drop of blood on your blade?]
[Shisui: Sasuke really should be more careful. I think Obito was just faking it.]
No one knew what Obito was up to.
"What are you doing, Tobi? Don't go easy on him just because he's a kid!" Deidara shouted towards where Tobi had fallen.
At that moment, Sasuke suddenly turned around and saw Tobi standing there unharmed.
"When did this guy...!"
Upon realizing Tobi had been exposed, Afei promptly stood up and complained, "Senior, his Body Flicker Technique is too fast; we can't keep up!"
At this moment, Deidara slowly took out the C1 from his pocket, wanting to test this guy's skills first.
Deidara held a handful of densely packed clay figures resembling tiny spiders in his hands.
"Tobi, get out of the way!" After saying that, he threw all the clay away.
Seeing the dense swarm of tiny spiders, Sasuke simply gathered his Lightning Release Chakra in his hand, then transformed it into a needle-like shape and shot it out.
All the spiders were pinned to other locations.
"Drink..." Just as Deidara was about to detonate, a cry for help came from Tobi beside him.
"Senior, senior, don't drink yet! Senior, behind us!" It turned out that bastard Tobi had been surrounded by C1.
"Cut!"
Sasuke had already arrived behind Deidara, and just as Sasuke was about to deliver a fatal blow, Deidara suddenly threw a lump of clay backward.
"Drink!"
"Boom!"
The massive explosion created a large crater where the two people were standing.
At this moment, Tobi still thought Deidara was dead and was reminiscing about his senior Deidara.
"That constant chatter is so annoying!"
Deidara retreated to Tobi's side and cursed, while Sasuke landed unharmed on the ground beside him.
[Kakashi: Why does it feel like, Obito, you're a spy? It looks like you're the one setting this guy named Deidara up?]
Kakashi had reason to suspect that Obito was deliberately causing trouble for Deidara.
[Obito: How could that be? I have no grudge against Deidara. In fact, Deidara has been quite nice to me. I think Deidara is kind of tiring.]
Deidara could have ignored Obito's words of comfort and detonated the explosives, but Deidara ultimately didn't.
What does this mean? It means that Deidara- senpai was a great senior! I, Obito Uchiha, must get to know him someday.
At this point, Sasuke had a general understanding of Deidara's abilities, such as using clay to detonate things, right?
Watch me, Uchiha Erdunzi, teach you a lesson.
Deidara began pulling out countless clay figures in the shape of movable animals, which surged toward Sasuke like a tidal wave.
However, Sasuke easily split these things in two.
"Drink!"
Countless clay monsters began chasing Sasuke and exploding again, each time creating a deep crater in the spot.
Sasuke was caught off guard and got entangled by one of them, after which a continuous stream of clay monsters began to swarm around him.
"Boom!"
After a loud explosion, Deidara looked into the smoke with a hint of excitement. "They weren't that strong after all," he thought. "This was easy."
Unexpectedly, a piece of wood fell out of the smoke.
[Hozuki Mangetsu: Alright, alright, the Substitution Technique, huh?]
At this moment, Ōnoki was also unusually focused on everything on the screen, wanting to know just how far his apprentice had progressed.
But it doesn't seem to work right now.
At this moment, Deidara felt his intelligence had been insulted. Was this how the Uchiha family played?
Are you even a man? Come on, a real man should fight one-on-one, stop using those Substitution Techniques and Genjutsu.
"Just as I expected." As usual, Tobi continued to mock Deidara.
This made Deidara start to take things seriously.
Looks like we'll have to use C2.
As they spoke, Deidara used clay to create a giant flying dragon, but Sasuke remained completely unmoved by the enormous creature before him.
"Let me show you my art!"
The giant dragon began spewing out large amounts of Explosive Clay, with astonishing speed and power.
However, Sasuke nimbly dodged it.
At this moment, Deidara, taking advantage of his superior position, relentlessly bombarded Sasuke.
Sasuke could only keep dodging until Sasuke accidentally stepped on a spot.
"Not good!"
His keen intuition told him that there was danger here, and sure enough, the previously disappeared Tobi had secretly buried countless clay landmines underground.
"Boom!"
The massive explosion occurred right next to Sasuke; at such close range, there was no way the explosion could have gone wrong.
[Mikoto: Sasuke!]
At this moment, Mikoto's eyes showed worry.
[Itachi: Don't worry, Mother, Sasuke will be alright.]
His intuition told him that Sasuke couldn't possibly be defeated by this small ambush.
As expected, after the smoke cleared, Sasuke grew a pair of "wings" that looked like hands, and a cross-shaped pattern appeared in the middle of his face.
This form is Orochimaru's Cursed Seal of Heaven!
Although the explosion was partially blocked by the wings, the remaining force still injured Sasuke's foot.
At this point, Sasuke would have little chance of dodging the next attack.
With the second clay bomb approaching, Sasuke had no choice but to use his wings to cover himself again.
"Haha, using your wings as defense, let's see how you fly now!" The explosion at that moment destroyed one of Sasuke's wings.
"This area is full of minefields, let's see how you move now!" It has to be said that Deidara's strength is indeed amazing, he actually managed to Sasuke to this point.
Sasuke threw his Kusanagi Sword, stuck it in the ground to make sure it wouldn't move, and then Sasuke up and landed on the Kusanagi Sword.
He then used the Kusanagi Sword as a springboard to charge directly towards Deidara in the sky.
"Chidori Sharp Spear!"
A Lightning Release: Chidori, shot from an extremely long distance directly towards Deidara in the sky, while the giant bird crashed down, detonating the minefield beneath the ground.
Sasuke, however, used his snake-like tentacles to dodge the explosion.
Deidara was not killed by the attack, but appeared in the air in a very disheveled state.
"Truly tenacious!" Sasuke still looked at Deidara in the sky with the same expression.
Deidara looked into those arrogant eyes, and the hatred in his heart resurfaced once more, causing his earlier plan to retreat to vanish completely.
Those eyes, I can never forgive myself for the rest of my life; only my art is truly perfect!
