"You don't need to worry so much. Ninjas who could realize your nanobombs use Earth Release and immediately counter them with Lightning Release would be few and far between, even across the entire shinobi world."
Standing nearby, Tobirama Senju said calmly, "So you don't need to worry about that. Even if some ninjas do escape, there won't be more than a handful."
"The real problem is that your nanobombs can only deal with creatures aboveground. They'll have a hard time dealing with the White Zetsu underground."
Among the ninja army advancing this time, some of the White Zetsu were traveling aboveground alongside the other ninjas, while others were presumably keeping pace underground.
"Hmm... I know the Opening Earth Rising Excavation Technique, but if there are over ten thousand White Zetsu, even my jutsu won't do much."
Deidara frowned. His skill in Earth Style Ninjutsu was actually quite good; otherwise, he could hardly have developed his explosive ninjutsu.
But the explosive ninjutsu he researched ultimately differed somewhat from Earth Release. In conventional Earth Style Ninjutsu, his proficiency could only be considered fairly good, placing him among the best elite jonin.
Earth Style Ninjutsu at that level could easily deal with hundreds or even a thousand White Zetsu hiding underground. Once their numbers reached tens of thousands, however, Deidara had no good solution.
"That's fine. The Opening Earth Rising Excavation Technique is only a last resort anyway. Since those White Zetsu like hiding underground, could you make a gigantic bomb, Deidara, and crush the ones underground into pulp?"
An underground explosion?! Hearing Uchiha Shūichi's suggestion, Deidara's eyes lit up, and inspiration instantly flooded his mind.
That's right! If I could make Clay Bombs buried deep underground that exploded when they sensed someone's footsteps, wouldn't that make them as concealed as possible?
And
