"His Explosive Clay seemed to have different grades too!" The instant he sensed the blast's power, Mu Yuyi's Tenseigan pupils constricted sharply.
Deidara's Explosive Clay in Naruto grew progressively more powerful from C1 to C4, and the two flying swallows just now had exploded with far greater force than the two shields from before.
"The purple-red patterns woven from lightning and fire attributes seem to be different too!" Mu Yuyi murmured.
Though it had only lasted an instant, the Tenseigan's formidable insight had still allowed him to uncover the secret of Zichuan's technique. When most people first encountered an ability similar to Explosive Clay, they would focus on its unusual properties, but Mu Yuyi, who knew Naruto, had instead focused on how Zichuan cast his technique—particularly the differences between the two spells.
The greatest difference was the patterns—patterns formed from lightning and flames!
Though he had only seen two different patterns, Mu Yuyi could still determine the source of their power. Aside from the amount of spiritual energy infused into them, it lay in those seemingly chaotic markings.
As Mu Yuyi retreated, he observed Zichuan's next move through his Tenseigan. Before long, he noticed the puppet's slender fingers dancing continuously, moving in rapid rhythms like butterflies weaving through needles.
Soon, one tiny insect after another spilled from his fingertips and sped toward Mu Yuyi. There were spiders, ants, moths... all sorts of insects mixed together. Some crawled along the walls, some fluttered through the air, while others burrowed straight underground...
Though these insects came in all forms, they shared one thing in common: they were small!
Extremely small. Even cultivators could easily overlook them without careful observation, much less amid the incomparably complex environment of a battlefield. Such insects were practically impossible to detect. Moreover, Zichuan's movements were highly deceptive.
