"Whoosh."
The Explosive Clay Dragon merely flapped its wings once, kicking up a fierce gale.
Already seriously injured, Sasuke was blown back several steps before he could steady himself.
Seizing the chance, Deidara controlled the Explosive Clay Dragon to open its mouth. In an instant, a swarm of pebble-sized bombs flew toward Sasuke.
Because his condition was truly poor and his Chakra was nearly depleted, Sasuke did not choose to use Lightning Release to neutralize those miniature bombs this time.
That would only add to his burden!
With no other choice, Sasuke could only dodge from side to side as best he could.

Meanwhile, Deidara took the opportunity to perform some emergency treatment on the wound on his left arm, at least stopping it from bleeding further.
Sasuke was not so fortunate.
Even as he ran, blood kept dripping behind him.

In Deidara's own words, did an explosion expert really
