And for some reason, seeing those eyes reminded Deidara of Uchiha Itachi from back then.
Since we can't kill Uchiha Itachi, let's kill his brother first.
"I'm going to kill you right now, Tobi, run away!" At this moment, Deidara began to take out clay and stuff it into his mouth.
"Damn it, it's C4 Karura!" Upon seeing this Tobi ran away without looking back.
Look closely, this was originally intended to kill Uchiha Itachi.
Deidara ate a lump of Explosive Clay and then spat it out, forming a giant doll that looked exactly like himself.
The doll contains tiny Clay Spiders invisible to the naked eye. Once the doll explodes, these Clay Spiders will be scattered into the air within a certain range.
Facing the hundreds-of-meters-tall puppet, Sasuke finally lost his nonchalant demeanor, because he knew that if this thing exploded, he would definitely die!
Seeing this, Sasuke could only run backward as fast as he could, not daring to look back.
However, he still inhaled the air generated by the giant doll's explosion; Sasuke's body had already inhaled too many tiny spiders.
[Obito: Why doesn't Sasuke Susanoo?!]
Obito, standing to the side, was already getting anxious. In this situation, wouldn't it be better to just use Susanoo to isolate the miniature spiders outside?
[Itachi: Yeah, I remember using Amaterasu could burn all of these things down.]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Sasuke might have other tricks up his sleeve.]
At this point, no one knew Sasuke's methods; they simply assumed that Sasuke was confident about what was to come.
["Drink!"
At Deidara's command, all the miniature spiders began to explode.
Any creature that inhaled the micro-spider was instantly destroyed from the inside out.
As expected, Sasuke began to disintegrate, his entire body breaking down like dust.
[Ōnoki: Good, this apprentice suits my taste perfectly.]
Ōnoki, who usually looked down on Konoha, was unusually happy today. "Your geniuses in Konoha aren't as impressive as the geniuses in our Iwagakure!"
At that moment, Deidara in the sky also touched his eyes.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"I won! I won!" Deidara could hardly contain his excitement. Finally, he had defeated the Uchiha Clan.
"My art won!"
Suddenly, Deidara's body convulsed, and a strange sense of dizziness washed over him.
Sharingan! It feels like the Sharingan!
At that moment, Sasuke appeared behind Deidara and unleashed a Lightning Blade that pierced through Deidara's entire chest.
"It seems like he's run out of Chakra; he's moving too slowly." Sasuke was still criticizing Deidara's actions.
It's as if winning you over is that easy.
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Good, as expected of a genius Shinobi from Konoha, you are indeed stronger than geniuses from other ninja villages.]
Seeing Sasuke regain the upper hand, Hiruzen Sarutobi, unusually, came out to show off.
"Those eyes!" Deidara stared incredulously at Sasuke behind him.
"My eyes can't see the bomb, but my Sharingan can detect Chakra! So tell me where Itachi is!" At this moment, Sasuke thought he had Deidara easily under his control.
No one can escape those eyes; they are the pride of the Uchiha Clan.
But suddenly Deidara burst into laughter. "So, I really have to thank Itachi."
Suddenly, a pair of hands appeared beneath Sasuke's feet, their previous positions now filled with clay.
"Clay clone?"
"I've seen your Genjutsu before. Just like Itachi's, how could I possibly fall for the same trick twice!"
Genjutsu are not omnipotent; Deidara's left eye has undergone special training and is already proficient in breaking Genjutsu.
"This time, you won't escape the C4!"
"Drink!"
At this moment, Sasuke also used all his strength to employ Lightning Blade, trying to stop him before he could.
"Boom!"
Another explosion occurred, and Deidara, impacted by the force, fell into the forest.
"I won! I won this time!" Just as Deidara was getting excited, another punch came from behind and knocked him down!
[Obito: Ah, Sasuke's alright!]
[Ōnoki: That shouldn't be happening, this C4 has clearly already been inhaled!]
Sasuke dodged the C4 again, this time even coming incredibly close.
[Fugaku: Could it be that C4 Ninjutsu is Earth Release? Deidara's bomb was countered by the last Lightning Blade, so it didn't detonate!]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Sasuke truly a born genius! Fugaku, you've raised a fine son!]
[Fugaku: Thank you for the praise, Third Hokage. I just didn't expect Sasuke to be able to find the opponent's weakness in such a short time.]
At this point, both Deidara and Sasuke were exhausted, and their Chakra was depleted.
Deidara was also shocked by Sasuke's keen intuition; he hadn't expected Itachi's younger brother to possess a fighting instinct that was no less than his own.
"In this state, you've actually made me waver a little."
"Now it looks like you're about to be killed by my Ninjutsu," Deidara joked.
Of course, Deidara might have just been joking, or perhaps he wanted Sasuke to acknowledge his art; at this moment, Deidara didn't actually intend to die together with Sasuke.
After all, even though he hated the Uchiha, he didn't need to risk his own life to save Uchiha Itachi's brother. He certainly didn't want to help Itachi get rid of his brother.
Ultimately, there was no deep-seated hatred between them, but when Deidara saw Sasuke's expression of disregard, his anger was instantly ignited.
"It's this look that's infuriating! You two brothers, looking like this!" Deidara shouted hoarsely.
They all ignore my Ninjutsu and always have that arrogant look on their faces. Who do they think they are?!
Stop trying to be cool! It's those eyes that are getting in my way! It's like they're denying my art!
"I cannot forgive those eyes, those eyes that showed absolutely no amazement at my art! I cannot forgive them!"
"That kind of thing is beneath my notice. Tell me where Itachi is!" Sasuke remained expressionless.
Deidara, who hadn't originally planned to use that move, was instantly enraged. That tone... does it mean he's out of options?
[Shikaku Nara: Well, does the other side mean that both sides should stop fighting?]
Despite Deidara's long-winded explanation, it all boils down to this: you need to acknowledge my art, and then I'll sell you information about Itachi, and we'll call it a draw.
[Fugaku: I feel like Sasuke has really angered the enemy this time.]
A true man can bend and yield. Acknowledging the other person's art won't hurt you at all, so just agree.
You have to argue with him when he's mentally unstable, huh? Come on, let's see how pathetic you look later.
You want revenge on Itachi? Come on, this guy is Itachi's enemy. Go and kill him. You really don't know that the enemy of your enemy is your friend?
"He didn't even use the Sharingan, I really underestimated him." Deidara silently took off his shirt, revealing a large mouth on his chest.
At the same time, they started taking out clay from their pockets and feeding it to the clay.
Deidara condenses all his Chakra into a black sphere, directly mixing it into his Chakra through his heart's meridian system. His body then slowly turns black until it disappears, and his Chakra condenses into a black sphere.
"This is my ultimate art!"
"I'm about to self-destruct."
For once, Sasuke showed a panicked expression, because his Chakra was also running low; everything he had just done was an act.
"Through death I will become art itself, leaving unprecedented scars on this land with an explosion unlike any before, and then my art will receive unprecedented praise!"
"Tobi, I'm sorry!"
"With my approval, you're sure to be blown up. The blast radius is ten kilometers; there's no way you can escape."
Feel the fear! Experience the despair!
My art is—explosion!
