Kai strode across the gravel field, his feet crunching on the gravel.
The yellow-haired boy squatting on the ground moved his hands and raised his head.
He looked about six or seven years old.
He was wearing a faded dark short coat, his hair was messy, and there was some clay powder on his face.
He narrowed his eyes and spoke in a bad tone:
"Hey, what do you do? This is my territory, don't come over here if you have nothing to do! Hmm!"
Kai stood still and glanced at the ball of white clay that the young man was kneading in his hand. After a long while, he spoke slowly:
"I heard you like explosions?"
Deidara frowned, vigilant and a little unhappy. "What does it have to do with you? Hmm!"
Kai did not answer directly, but instead looked down at the clay in the young man's hand.
The corners of his mouth turned down slightly, revealing a trace of undisguised contempt:
"Is this something also called an explosion?"
Deidara was stunned for a moment, then jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and blushed:
"What do you know? This is real art! How can a layman like you understand the beauty of clay explosions?"
Kai scoffed.
His eyes swept back and forth between Deidara and Clay Bomb in his hand twice, and he shook his head:
"Art? I know a little bit about it. I also know about explosions."
He paused, raised his chin slightly, and spoke with a tone of disgust that was neither salty nor bland.
"But this one in your hand, to put it bluntly... is garbage."
Deidara was so angry that he almost exploded on the spot.
His child's character is very clear.
He clenched his hand suddenly, and when he opened it again, there was already a small spider made of clay lying in his palm.
The slender legs and feet trembled slightly, as if they were alive:
"Do you believe that I will blow you up? As long as I inject Chakra into it, your life will be decided here today! Hmm!"
Kai looked at the palm-sized Clay Spider in his hand. He didn't dodge, and even took a step forward.
"Blow me up?"
He repeated it disdainfully.
"That's it?"
Before he finished speaking, Kai's figure suddenly disappeared.
Deidara Before he even had time to blink, his hand was empty.
That Clay Spider had landed in Kai's fingers at some point.
Kai pinched the little spider and looked down, as if looking at a boring toy.
Then gently press your fingers together.
"Pfft."
A short, almost ridiculous muffled sound came from Kai's palm.
Like a dumb fart.
A wisp of gray smoke drifted out from between the fingers and slowly dispersed.
Kai opened his palm, and there was only a handful of charred residue and a few wisps of white smoke that had not completely dissipated.
Deidara was stunned.
His Clay Spider is the least powerful test product.
But an explosion is an explosion.
No matter how small it is, it cannot be pinched in the palm of someone's bare hands and exploded without the other party's skin even breaking.
"Dud?"
He stared at the charred remains in Kai's palm with wide eyes, and there was a buzz in his head.
No!
Not a dud!
The explosion really happened, and the remaining scorch marks are clear.
But the bald palm was intact, not to mention bleeding, not even a red mark.
Deidara's expression changed drastically.
First shock, then self-doubt:
Is his explosion really just something that can't even scratch human skin?
But he reacted quickly.
"Wrong!"
"It's not that my explosion is too weak, it's that the guy in front of me is ridiculously strong!"
Kai looked at his uncertain little face and laughed:
"Not too stupid."
He flicked the ashes on his fingertips with his hand and his tone became a little more casual.
"But those things in your hands are indeed a little overpriced."
Deidara bit his lip and said nothing.
A pair of eyes stared at Kai closely, alert and curious.
He was arrogant just now, but now he has been completely suppressed.
Kai squatted down, looked level with Deidara, and said in an unhurried tone, "Boy, do you want to see real art?"
Deidara blinked. "Real art... hmm? What do you mean?"
Kai Yi shrugged:
"It's not interesting."
"I have an art - Super Invincible Ultimate Explosion Art. I'm just asking you if you want to see it?"
"Super Invincible Ultimate Explosion?"
Deidara repeated it, his eyes visibly lit up.
His Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, and his voice was trembling.
"That... what explosion?"
Kai stood up and tilted his head towards the outside of the village:
"If you want to see it, then come with me."
Deidara stood there and hesitated for a moment.
A stranger of unknown origin asked him to follow him.
Normally you absolutely cannot go.
But the scene just now of Clay Spider being crushed to pieces by the other party's bare hands could not be left in his mind no matter what.
Finally, curiosity overcame vigilance.
He gritted his teeth and followed.
Kai didn't look back, but when he heard the brisk footsteps behind him, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.
The two of them walked out of Iwagakure one after another and walked toward the deserted mountainous area outside the village.
Kai's pace was neither fast nor slow, and Deidara followed behind.
The farther you go, the farther you go.
Several hours passed.
The surrounding scenery changed from grassy slopes to bare rocky mountains, and the wind gradually became stronger.
Deidara is already a little impatient.
If it weren't for his dedication to art, he would have cursed him long ago.
Deidara was about to ask when Kai in front suddenly stopped.
"Arrived?"
Deidara looked around.
It was surrounded by an empty wasteland, with only a few bald mountains in the distance and not even a human figure.
He couldn't help but frown. "Where on earth are you taking me? What is there to see here?"
Kai looked around.
"It should be almost done here."
He took something out of his arms and held it in his palm.
Deidara came over and took a look, with a puzzled look on his face. "What is this?"
Kai said calmly, "This is the art I want you to see."
"Art? It's a bomb? Huh?"
Deidara Before he could react, Kai closed his eyes slightly and gently held the device in front of him with both hands.
The surrounding wind suddenly became a little strange.
It was quiet for a moment, and then the air became inexplicably flowing.
It's as if something invisible is being rapidly pulled away and gathered together.
Deidara took a deep breath subconsciously.
I felt an invisible pressure slowly emanating from Kai.
He looked up and saw dark white lines under the corners of Kai's eyes.
Like the traces of thunder in the shadows.
His entire personality changed instantly.
Like a quiet and dangerous active volcano, it may erupt at any time.
Sage Mode!
Deidara's heart skipped a beat, and an instinctive sense of danger came over him.
He was about to take two steps back when he saw the dark gray device in Kai's palm light up in just a few breaths.
From dark to light.
From mild to intense.
Like a lit wick, it vibrates like a buzzing sound.
Dazzling white light shines through the cracks on the surface.
Deidara opened his eyes wide and looked at the light coming from the surface of the device.
Feeling the increasingly violent and unstable energy fluctuations--
It was something he couldn't estimate, and it seemed as if it would break free and explode at the next moment.
He swallowed subconsciously, his voice a little dry. "Is this... is this thing really a bomb?"
Kai ignored him, still closing his eyes, and continued to pour Natural Energy into the device.
Theoretically, the Fury Release device requires at least 1800 seconds, which is a full thirty minutes to accumulate energy.
That is the time limit that Tsuchigumo Clan can achieve by pulling Natural Energy bit by bit in the most clumsy and inefficient way.
Kai doesn't need that long.
His control over Senjutsu Chakra is far more precise than those who have inherited Fury Release from generation to generation but never truly understood it.
At this moment, the speed of energy accumulation inside the device is being forcibly compressed by him in a way that is far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Not only that, Kai also discovered a key point.
The so-called basic power with a radius of one hundred kilometers is just the result of the Tsuchigumo Clan being unable to completely control the device and can only passively trigger it.
And he can actively control this device and accurately control the detonation range and impact direction.
Whether he wants to reduce or expand his power depends entirely on his will.
He didn't want to make too much noise at the moment.
This is the edge of Iwagakure's jurisdiction.
Although it is far away, the release of too much energy will still attract unnecessary attention.
Kai made a mental calculation.
"It should be enough to only activate the device to one-tenth of the basic starting force."
He opened his eyes, glanced at Deidara, who was holding his breath and full of expectation, and raised the corner of his mouth:
"Boy, look carefully."
The next moment, Kai raised one hand upwards and threw the Fury Release Device in his palm into the sky.
The device took off and drew an arc in mid-air.
Then it stopped abruptly in mid-air.
The white light it released suddenly gathered.
It was like being pressed by an invisible force into an extremely bright light point, hanging high in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, that little bit of white light rapidly expanded and surged.
From red to pure white, and from pure white to blazing white gold.
The surface of the light ball constantly trembles, releasing unstable ripples.
It seemed as if a hole was being burned out of the sky.
The air made a low hum, and the gravel on the ground beat slightly.
The wind was sucked towards the light spot from all directions, and then suddenly bounced away when it touched its edge.
Deidara stood behind Kai, raising his head and opening his mouth unconsciously.
His eyes were brightly illuminated by the light, and his breathing seemed to have stopped.
He saw the light.
Not the light of a igniting flame, not the exploding Kakkō of Explosive Tag.
But a pure, destructive white light that seems to be born!
At that moment, there was only one thought whizzing through his mind -
This is the explosion.
This is art.
This is the ultimate beauty he has been pursuing!
High in the sky, the white dot condensed to the extreme made a final buzzing sound.
It was as if the universe was pressed to a standstill at this moment.
Kai's voice came from behind, with a kind of excited enthusiasm.
"Boy! Watch it! This is real art!"
"Art is--"
"Eight ducks big!!!"
"Boom----------!!!"
The moment Kai's voice fell.
Between heaven and earth.
Suddenly there was a huge roar!
Fury Release--
Completely detonated!!
