"This..."
"So terrifying!"
The Allied Shinobi Forces atop the bastion were all shocked as they watched the battle in the sky.
Hundreds of airships!
They had been destroyed in a single exchange. How could that not be shocking?
After withdrawing his gaze from the sky, A immediately looked toward a short figure.
"Tsuchikage, it's up to you!"
Among them, Ōnoki was the most skilled at aerial combat. Against an opponent like Konan, he was naturally the one who should take action.
In the past, there might have been some cause for concern.
But now that Ōnoki had advanced his Dust Release, his strength had skyrocketed. There was no need to worry at all.

Besides, Deidara was Ōnoki's disciple. Having him take action was perfectly reasonable.

Ōnoki did not refuse.
Among the Five Kage, he truly did possess the strongest aerial combat ability. This was hardly asking too much of him.
Moreover, he had a disciple who had joined Akatsuki—Deidara—whom he needed to "clean house" for. This task could belong to no one but him.

The consumption meant nothing to her, and the process was extremely fast.
