The other side.
When Ning Xue rushed back to the hot spring hotel, Sasuke and others were squatting at the door of the hotel.
When Sasuke saw him coming back, he didn't ask any more questions. He just threw the backpack Ning Xue had packed over and said briefly.
"Gone."
After saying that, he stood up first and headed in one direction.
Suigetsu originally wanted to ask, "Which friend are you going to meet?", but seeing that Sasuke was already walking very fast, he could only swallow back his words, and hurriedly followed up while muttering.
When Karin passed by Ning Xue, the red eyes behind the lenses glared at him fiercely, and let out a soft snort from his nose, as if to express some kind of dissatisfaction.
Jugo walked past Ning Xue silently, without looking at him or speaking.
Ning Xue put his backpack on his back, looked at the thick smoke rising in the distance, and followed it.
The other side.
"You guy!"
Naruto roared angrily and immediately threw a Kunai.
Kunai cut through the air and hit Deidara directly in the face, but Deidara easily dodged it by turning its head.
"Tsk, you're still so restless, Nine-Tails brat."
Deidara curled his lips and was about to continue mocking a few words when Tobi behind him suddenly spoke up to remind him.
"Hey! Senior! Someone is coming from behind!"
Hearing this, Deidara turned around and saw three people, Kakashi, Yamato, and Sai, galloping towards here on one Ink Bird respectively.
Sai quickly took out the ink pen and scroll, Hand Seals with one hand.
"Super Beast Imitating Drawing!"
Several Ink Bird flew out of the scroll, spread their wings, and flew straight towards Deidara like a group of black sharp arrows.
Each Ink Bird has a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and its speed is astonishingly fast.
When Deidara saw this, he laughed disdainfully. He stretched his right hand behind Ninja Tool Pouch's waist and was about to take out clay to fight back, but someone took action faster than him.
A black afterimage suddenly shot out from the middle of the giant bird.
That's the scorpion's tail.
The jet-black metal scorpion tail swung rapidly in the air like a poisonous snake, its tip flashing with purple luster, which was quenched with poison.
The scorpion tail shook continuously in the air, accurately hitting every flying Ink Bird.
"Puff, puff, puff--"
Ink Bird was penetrated by the poisonous needle and turned into a pool of black ink, which exploded in the air and scattered on the ground, corroding tiny holes.
Seeing this, Kakashi and others could only control Ink Bird to move left and right to avoid it.
Kakashi's eyes quickly swept across the battlefield, and his brain was working rapidly.
Air combat is not good for Konoha. Deidara's flight capabilities and long-range attacks have natural advantages in the air, and Scorpion's long-range poisonous sting is even more difficult to prevent.
He must find a way to bring the battle back to a more favorable ground for them.
He made a quick judgment and raised his hand to lift Forehead Protector, revealing the scarlet Sharingan.
"Sai, Yamato, you are feinting! Attract their attention!"
He lowered his voice and ordered to the two people beside him.
Sai and Yamato did not answer. Immediately adjust the direction of Ink Bird, pull it to the left and right, and at the same time keep throwing Shuriken and Kunai to maintain the attack frequency.
Kakashi took advantage of this gap to take out a Kunai from Ninja Tool Pouch, tied a smoke bomb to the end of Kunai, and threw it in the direction of Deidara.
Kunai drew an arc in the air and flew accurately to the flank of Deidara.
Deidara caught the Kunai out of the corner of his eye and curled his lips.
"This little trick--"
He raised his hand and threw a palm-sized Clay Bird from his palm. The bird flapped its wings and faced the Kunai.
"Bang--!"
Clay Bird and Kunai collided together, a ball of flame exploded, and Kunai was blown to pieces.
However, the moment the flames dissipated, Deidara's pupils shrank slightly.
The smoke produced by the explosion was much thicker than expected.
The smoke spread extremely quickly, as if being driven by something, instantly covering the area around the giant bird, blocking his sight.
"Tch, smoke bomb?"
Deidara spat in a low voice and patted the giant bird under him. The giant bird immediately adjusted its posture and climbed upwards, trying to escape from the smoke.
But the moment he took off.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh--"
Countless Ink Bird rushed out of the smoke, like a black tide, coming from all directions.
Behind each Ink Bird is a number of small wooden Shuriken, densely packed.
Deidara's eyes widened suddenly.
"Hey hey hey--!"
He immediately directed the giant bird to evade, and at the same time threw Clay Bomb again to intercept.
Scorpion also took action.
The scorpion tail danced rapidly in the air, shooting down every approaching Ink Bird and Shuriken with precision like a whip.
The sound of metal collisions was as dense as rain, and sparks flew everywhere.
However, in the midst of this intensive attack and defense, Deidara suddenly felt something was wrong.
Something was approaching silently in the smoke.
He turned around sharply, but it was already too late.
A slightly larger Ink Bird is quietly approaching the giant bird's belly.
On the belly of that Ink Bird, a person is lying on it, and his body is almost integrated with Ink Bird.
Kakashi.
Deidara's pupils shrank suddenly.
Kakashi's legs suddenly exerted force, and his whole body was like a cannonball, ejected from Ink Bird's belly, and rushed straight towards the giant bird where Deidara was.
"Damn--!"
Deidara reacted very quickly, raised his hand and threw out a C1 Clay Bird, hitting Kakashi directly in the face.
Kakashi in the air had nowhere to rely on, and was about to be hit by Clay Bird.
"Whoosh--!"
A Ink Bird rushed from the side and accurately passed through Kakashi's feet, giving him a brief point of strength.
Kakashi stepped on the back of Ink Bird with his feet, and he flew into the air again, using this moment of strength to avoid Clay Bird's attack range.
"Boom--!"
Clay Bird exploded where Kakashi was just now, and the flames and shock waves were left behind by Kakashi.
While he was flipping in the air, he had already thrown another smoke bomb with his right hand.
"Bang--!"
Smoke exploded on the back of the giant bird, instantly blocking the vision of Deidara, Scorpion and Tobi.
Wait until Deidara flaps the wings of the giant bird violently to blow away the smoke.
Kakashi has stood firmly on the back of the giant bird.
"Tsk!"
Deidara's face darkened, and he immediately took a step back, preparing to distance himself.
Scorpions react faster.
The scorpion tail stabbed out from the side like a poisonous snake, with a scream that broke through the air, and penetrated Kakashi's chest.
"Pfft--!"
The scorpion tail penetrates Kakashi's front chest and exits from the back.
However--
The pierced Kakashi's body suddenly turned into a ball of twisted electric light, making a "sizzling" sound.
"Lightning Clone!"
Deidara was startled and instinctively wanted to retreat, but it was too late.
The lightning followed the scorpion tail inserted into the giant bird and quickly spread into the giant bird's body. Countless blue arcs jumped on the surface of the giant bird's body, making a harsh crackling sound.
The real Kakashi was already attached to the belly of this giant clay bird at the moment the smoke rose.
His right hand was wrapped with dazzling lightning, which pierced directly into the belly of the giant bird!
"Lightning Blade--!"
"Zila--!!"
Two bolts of lightning exploded at the same time, and the giant clay bird's body was completely torn apart by the lightning. It made a harsh crackling sound and began to disintegrate from the center, turning into countless white fragments.
The giant bird completely lost its ability to fly and began to fall straight down.
"Ahhhh--! Senior!!"
Tobi's screams exploded in the air, and the whole person clung to the broken remains of the giant bird, being blown around by the air current.
"What should we do, senior!!"
Deidara gritted his teeth and yelled while adjusting his posture.
"Stop blabbering! I'll jump when I tell you to!"
"Ah! Does that really mean you won't die? Senior!"
"Shut up!"
At the same time, Kakashi jumped from the belly of the giant bird and turned his body around in the air. A Ink Bird happened to rush from below and caught him steadily.
Below, Naruto looked at this scene with his mouth wide open.
"So... so awesome..."
He exclaimed, and then quickly realized that the other party was about to fall to the ground.
"Sakura! Hinata! Let's go!"
He stopped staying and quickly led the two of them towards the direction where Deidara fell.
(Dear handsome guys and beauties, have a happy Dragon Boat Festival)
