Obito's Hope

Judging from the fact that Deidara began modifying his eyes to try and resist Genjutsu after losing to Itachi, he was very willing and skilled at using research to make up for his shortcomings.

This is actually what Orochimaru and Shirozumi meant when they said that Sasori would lose his "scientific research spirit" after losing his emotions—a quality rare in the Shinobi World.

In the original work, Deidara did not improve the Explosive Clay because he was still young and had never encountered a worthy opponent in Lightning Release who could give him a setback and prompt him to start the improvement plan.

Deidara's battle tactic was long-range, large-scale bombardment.

Even if a typical Lightning Release ninja could counter the Explosive Clay, they wouldn't have a chance to use it.

And to be honest, in the original work, Deidara didn't actually need to resort to self-destruction when facing Sasuke.

In the end, Sasuke ran out of Chakra and couldn't even maintain his Sharingan. Deidara was making wild guesses, thinking that Sasuke looked down on him, which was why he activated his self-destruction technique.

Thanks to Shirozumi's advance warning, Deidara had already been considering this idea for some time.

Deidara had already tried various ways to defend against Lightning Release.

This includes the classic "grounding wire".

However, this method also has its drawbacks.

First, its sensitivity is greatly reduced; second, even after the "ground line" is severed, it can still be countered with Lightning Release.

Until now, Deidara has a new method.

"What?!"

Kakashi was somewhat astonished to find that the Explosive Clay covered by Purple Lightning did not stop at all, but continued to crawl densely towards him and Naruto.

Kakashi didn't know that Lightning Release could directly silence the Explosive Clay, but Kakashi at least knew that Lightning Release was effective against Earth Release. Yet, Deidara's Explosive Clay was completely unaffected.

What exactly happened?

Is it possible that the Explosive Clay is unrelated to Earth Release?

However, Kakashi had also activated Sage Mode at this time and quickly sensed it.

On Deidara's Explosive Clay, there was a mixture of Natural Energy, and the Natural Energy had an invisible layer of lines, like the Frog Kumite, connecting to the ground and directing the damage of the Purple Lightning to the earth.

"So that's how it is. The Akatsuki Organization really doesn't have a single simple member."

After Kakashi figured it out, he immediately felt overwhelmed.

"Hey Kakashi, hurry up and put the thing behind you in front of you as a shield. What are you protecting him for? My little bit of Explosive Clay can't even blow away his Tailed Beast Cloak!"

Deidara had no intention of stopping; he simply gave Kakashi a reminder.

Having witnessed Shirozumi's various bizarre strategies, Deidara's mindset has also undergone some changes.

As the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black."

Deidara now only felt that Kakashi was a little off his mind.

A mortal body of flesh and blood goes to save a Perfect Jinchuriki who is cloaked in the form of Tailed Beast Cloak.

What does that mean?

"Kamui!"

After regaining his senses, Kakashi heard Deidara's suggestion but did not step back or protect Naruto as Deidara had instructed. Instead, he immediately activated Kamui.

Kakashi wasn't aiming at the Explosive Clay itself; he was making an attempt.

Natural Energy is invisible and cannot be severed by physical attacks.

But spatial distortion is different.

Kamui can sever the connection to Natural Energy.

However.

Bang--

Kakashi's pupils contracted.

Deidara's Senjutsu: Explosive Clay not only has Natural Energy connecting it to the earth, but this connection is also the switch to detonate it.

It will detonate immediately upon severing, preventing it from being silenced by Lightning Release after the severance.

Kakashi had no choice but to immediately increase the input of Chakra and Dojutsu Power, expanding the range of Kamui and using Kamui to redirect the explosion as well.

And he used Kamui to move all the remaining Explosive Clay as well.

The moment these Explosive Clay are transferred, the connection is severed, causing an immediate explosion.

However, this is no longer Kakashi's concern.

Since Chakra 'Obito is already restricted and he can't enter or leave the Kamui Space, there's no need to worry about Obito getting blown up.

Besides, if Obito really got hit by the Obito, then he Obito.

Obito's Obito in the Kamui Space indicates that he has found a way to escape.

"..."

Deidara was very displeased to see Kakashi kneeling on one knee, panting heavily, having used up a lot of Chakra.

He tried his best to counter Lightning Release.

However, Space-Time Ninjutsu is still too overpowered.

He needs to think of a solution.

Just like how Konan used Explosive Tag to counter the Masked Man.

He also needs to find a way to use Explosive Clay to counter this Space-Time Ninjutsu that can teleport.

However.

In the Amegakure, in a cave where no signal could be detected.

Obito, lost and confused about life, lay there motionless.

Obito had absolutely no idea how to proceed with things in the future.

We can only leave it to fate.

Obito didn't even know who he should pray to.

Suddenly, Obito felt a strange sensation.

"This is..."

Obito suddenly opened his eyes and sat up abruptly.

Obito sensed a mysterious source of Senjutsu Chakra appearing on his body.

The source is...

Eye?

Yes, it's eyes.

After Kakashi activated Sage Mode, he used Kamui over a wide area. Some of the Senjutsu Chakra that Kakashi had gathered inevitably transferred from his eyes into the Kamui Space.

And it affected Obito.

Obito was overjoyed.

"Kakashi, Kakashi, I really have to thank you!"

Obito sensed more and more Senjutsu Chakra emerging, soon enough for him to use Kamui once, and he was overjoyed.

He had been constantly implicated by Kakashi's Kamui because of Kakashi, but now it's finally not his defense that's being transferred to him!

Obito was almost in tears.

Indeed, misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a harbinger of misfortune.

He'd finally gotten his wish!

"Madara, you stay here by yourself. I'm going first!"

Obito felt as if the clouds had parted and the sky had cleared; even before leaving, he didn't forget to mock Madara.

"?"

Madara next door was sitting there idly, chin in hand, when he heard Obito's voice and felt completely bewildered.

"Was Obito too repressed and went insane?"

Madara was puzzled. He stood up, walked to the cell window, and looked towards Obito.

However.

Before Ban could even reach the cell window, he heard a scream from across the way.

"Ah--"

Just as Obito used Kamui, all the Explosive Clay that had its Natural Energy cut off fell on Obito, blasting Obito upside down as he was overjoyed, thinking he was about to escape.

"... They've really gone mad."

Upon hearing the scream, Ban's lips twitched, and he stopped in his tracks.

In Obito's cell.

Obito lay sprawled miserably on the ground.

--Actually, he had a chance to leave. If he had just managed to withstand the Explosive Clay, he could have left the cell as a corpse.

Perhaps one day when Kakashi uses Kamui, he will find his body.
