From the day Shamu had met them, he had carried countless secrets.
But everyone in the Shinobi World had their own secrets, and Nagato and the others had never pried. After all, Shamu was their benefactor.
Nagato simply did not know what Shamu was planning to do now.
Although they had pinned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path here for the moment, if Obito no longer wanted to fight—
And focused solely on escaping, no one would be able to catch him.
Nagato had already heard the order for them to withdraw.
Almost instantly, he thought of the technique Flying Waterfall had used to blow up the Seven-Colored Ore mine.
And he began retreating as well.
With the Byakugan, he could directly observe the distance with his naked eyes.
Over here, Deidara and the Second Mizukage were providing a live broadcast through their cooperation, so the others could keep track of the battle at any time.
Deidara's reason for leaving behind clay puppets was very simple.
Art!
The ninjutsu Flying Waterfall had used last time to blow up Cloud Village's Seven-Colored Ore mine—
It perfectly matched Deidara's view of art. He even felt that his own C0 Self-Destruction would look like that.
Under Ōnoki's coaxing, Deidara had already given up that self-destruction technique.
After all, what Ōnoki had said was, "If you die, art cannot be passed down."
"True art should be passed down continuously, making it ever more beautiful."
Well, that was what Ōnoki had told Deidara after returning from the last Five Kage Summit.
Deidara also felt that the old man had made some sense.
So the mouth on his chest was gone now.
Now that he had finally met Flying Waterfall in person, he desperately wanted to see that explosive secret technique for himself.
