Gaara heard the question and nodded almost without hesitation.
"I can."
His voice was calm and certain.
After all, most Sunagakure shinobi had mastered basic sealing techniques, and as the Kazekage, he naturally possessed sealing techniques worthy of his position.
Ning Xue felt slightly relieved upon hearing that.
His gaze quickly swept over the two figures across from them as they readjusted their stances, and he spoke in a low voice.
"Then the two of us will keep them occupied while you take the chance to seal them."
The moment he finished speaking, the ice disk beneath his feet suddenly accelerated, carving a frigid white arc as it shot straight toward the First Kazekage and the Third Kazekage.
Clearly, he intended to fight at close range.
Deidara raised no objection when he saw this. Instead, he grinned and quickly guided the Clay Bird beneath his feet after him.
Seeing the two charging at him again, the Third Kazekage's hollow eyes flickered as he swiftly made his judgment.
He suddenly pushed off with his feet. Countless streams of black Iron Sand surged from his sleeves and collar, gathering behind him into a pair of enormous Iron Sand wings. With one flap, he rose from the ground like a black eagle and flew into the sky.
Deidara raised an eyebrow when he saw his opponent take flight.
"Want to go into the sky? You'll have to ask if I agree first."
As he spoke, he swiftly pulled out a handful of clay from his Ninja Tool Pouch and casually tossed out several birds toward the Third Kazekage.
The Third Kazekage watched the incoming birds, crossed his arms before his chest, and drew pitch-black Iron Sand from his wings to rapidly form a heavy iron shield in front of him.
"Boom—! Boom—! Boom—!"
