"This Deidara is really something else!" Namikaze Minato joked.
"Yeah, he's picky! I thought he liked indiscriminate attacks."
" Minato, stop hiding your true colors, or Orochimaru will look down on you."
"Good"
After speaking Namikaze Minato was covered in orange-yellow, with an orange-yellow cloak appearing on his back. His pupils had crosses on them, and his attire was quite different from his last battle against Urashiki Ōtsutsuki.
Since Namikaze Minato stepped down as Hokage, he had not worn the Hokage Cloak, which bore the inscription "Fourth Hokage," for a long time.
" Minato, is this Sage Mode combined with Nine-Tails Mode?"
"Haha, you figured it out! Not only have you become stronger, but I've also gained new power!"
"My name is: Super Swift Flash Super Wheel Kurama Second Style"
The Kurama inside Namikaze Minato couldn't help but cover its face in embarrassment, "Why did you add my name?"
Li Yu nearly tripped and fell to the ground. " Minato, let's keep it simple and call it Sage Fox Mode!"
Yamato couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of the Fourth Hokage, he shouldn't be underestimated."
Orochimaru's expression turned somewhat grim; it was the first time he'd witnessed Namikaze Minato's genius for naming things. "Was it really necessary to make it this long?"
Orochimaru was pondering whether his recently developed technique, ' Six Paths: Impure World Reincarnation,' was too short.
Orochimaru shook his head casually, clearing his mind of these distracting thoughts. "Am I overthinking things?"
"Super Wheel, I'm telling you, Fourth Generation, you didn't just come up with this on the spur of the moment."
"The Super Wheel was indeed just added," Namikaze Minato said, scratching his head sheepishly.
Li Yu was speechless at the sight; Orochimaru actually had the leisure to discuss naming Ninjutsu with Namikaze Minato.
" Minato, that Yamato over there is skilled in Wood Release; he's yours."
Li Yu didn't want to say anything more and charged towards Orochimaru, throwing Shuriken while rapidly Hand Seals.
" Water Release: Water Severing Wave "
High-pressure water jets sprayed from Li Yu's face, sweeping back and forth indiscriminately in front of him.
They intentionally separated Orochimaru and Yamato, preventing them from supporting each other.
Li Yu pressed forward, engaging Orochimaru in close- Taijutsu.
The two fought back and forth, probing each other's strengths and weaknesses in preparation for the next battle.
Minato unleashed Specialized Kunai at Yamato, and Flying Thunder God Technique appeared beside Yamato, engaging in Taijutsu combat contest in return.
On the other side, the Taijutsu wasn't as quiet as it was here. Instead, a series of explosions rang out, forcing Uchiha Itachi to retreat and dodge.
Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique
Deidara fearlessly charged into the flames.
Shinra Tensei
The flames were repelled by an invisible force field, and the surrounding trees and grass were all blown away.
"This is damn art! I love the Rinnegan!"
Deidara continued chasing after Itachi.
"Itachi, don't run away! Come and experience my art!"
Deidara put a large lump of clay into his mouth and chewed it; the two mouths in his palms were no longer enough to satisfy his oral art.
On the open ground, Deidara quickly Hand Seals and vomited a white substance from his mouth, a jet of white liquid that lasted for more than thirty seconds.
There was a large puddle of sticky substance on the ground. After vomiting, there was still drool around the corner of his mouth, glistening and sparkling.
"Itachi, taste my ultimate move!"
The clay rapidly gathered, lifting Deidara from the ground and instantly creating a massive Deidara tens of meters high.
"The ultimate trump card, haha!" Standing atop the giant Deidara's head, appearing miniature, he jumped and shouted from time to time.
Deidara completely deviated from the original storyline when he fought Sasuke, using this move to vomit, causing himself to become dehydrated and with sunken eyes. He became even more rampant and artistic thanks to the Impure World Reincarnation.
Uchiha Itachi was stunned by this action, muttering to himself.
"Is this Deidara's ultimate move?"
"C4 Garuda"
Uchiha Itachi then considered retreating, hoping to escape the blast radius.
Li Yu, Orochimaru, and the others who were engaged in Taijutsu combat nearby had grim expressions. They shook off their opponents and scattered in all directions.
"Damn Deidara, he's trying to blow me up too!" Orochimaru said, annoyed.
I already had a plan in mind after this battle. Deidara still wanted to kill me. When I got back, I would unlock his brain and add a few more restrictions.
"Are we even letting others fight?"
" Nawaki, is this also a bomb? If so, it's huge!"
"It's a bomb, anyway, it looks extremely powerful."
Li Yu and Namikaze Minato quickly moved away together.
"This move is designed to kill you, Itachi!"
The giant clay Deidara raced swiftly toward Uchiha Itachi, its target clear.
"Do you think you can escape from this C4 Karura?"
"Where do you think you're going to run to?!"
Deidara stretched out one hand, aimed at the retreating figure of Uchiha Itachi, and said with a smug smile.
" Universal Pull "
Uchiha Itachi's body suddenly flew backward, heading towards Deidara in the air.
"What kind of Ninjutsu is this?"
Before Itachi could make any further moves, Deidara clasped his hands together.
The giant clay Deidara swelled rapidly, his entire body exploding on the spot like an inflated balloon.
Contrary to expectations, the explosion occurred silently, like a dud.
"Drink!"
Birds, lizards, venomous snakes, and small animals all vanished into nothingness.
"This is bad." Under the Rinnegan's vision, tiny yet dense Chakra diffusion could be seen.
The scope was too large, and it still affected Li Yu's side.
Uchiha Itachi in the air was even closer, almost touching Garuda's face, his eyes meeting Deidara's above him, his gaze still indifferent.
Uchiha Itachi was completely covered by a layer of red phantom skull, yet he fell unharmed towards the ground.
Deidara's Impure World Reincarnation body disintegrated into fragments, which then floated in the air and rapidly coalesced to repair the damaged body.
"How is that possible! Itachi!"
"How could you not be dead!"
A cloud of dust rose as Uchiha Itachi landed safely, looking up at Deidara was still recovering.
"The Technique of Susanoo "
"It's another Ninjutsu that resides in these eyes when the abilities Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu are awakened."
This statement doesn't seem to be directed at Deidara, but rather at Orochimaru, who shares the Rinnegan's vision; more accurately, it's directed at Sasuke.
" Deidara, is that the end of your Ninjutsu?"
Deidara slowly descended from the sky, the black rods once again plunging back into his body. His Rinnegan stared intently at Uchiha Itachi, his expression grim.
Deidara, combined with the power of the Deva Path puppet, was indeed far stronger than Nagato's Deva Path Yahiko.
It also possesses the restorative power of the Impure World Reincarnation, can fight autonomously without requiring conscious effort to control, and can use its own unique Ninjutsu.
If we could turn all the Akatsuki members into Six Paths: Impure World Reincarnation puppets, that would be incredible; it would be a deluxe, top-of-the-line version of Impure World Reincarnation.
"This Ninjutsu must not fall into Nagato's hands, otherwise..."
Li Yu and Namikaze Minato Body Flicker Technique appeared behind Uchiha Itachi. Li Yu dodged using Susanoo, while Minato, in his Namikaze Minato Sage Fox Mode, felt nothing.
