Bomb Maniac

"Poor Star Ninja Village, I'm sorry. But to show my apologies, I'll leave you a few ninjutsu I developed myself. We'll call it an exchange of techniques." Jin infiltrated a house in the Star Ninja Village, pulled out a scroll, and thought to himself.

The scroll slowly unfurled, revealing the Star Ninja Village's secret Peacock Mystery Technique before Jin's eyes. Jin quickly skimmed through it, then left behind the A-rank techniques he had developed—Ice Release: Ice Coffin Technique, Water Release: Vortex Technique, and Fire Release: Giant Fireball—as well as Orochimaru's A-rank Wind Release: Great Breakthrough. After all, the Star Ninja Village had it hard enough. He had to leave them a way to survive.

After putting some distance between himself and the Star Ninja Village, Jin began using the Peacock Mystery Technique. A mass of chakra as red as the evening clouds emerged from his body, gradually forming a pair of dazzling wings.

"It worked! This Chaos Attack really is amazing—chakra of every attribute. I was just thinking that if it didn't work, I'd have to take their village treasure—The Star." Jin let out a smug, eerie laugh. "Deidara, since you want to make trouble for me, I'll make you suffer. This time, I'm not afraid of fighting in the sky."

Not long after Jin left, the Star Shadow of the Star Ninja Village noticed the moved scroll and cried out in shock, "Who touched my scroll? Someone outside, hurry and gather the village's ninja." Then he opened the scroll, breaking out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly said, "No need to gather anyone. Continue standing guard." In his heart, he screamed, My God! Which Kage-level ninja paid a visit to our Star Ninja Village? These four A-rank techniques are far too useful. I'm so grateful to you—please come a few more times!

Morning in Konoha Village.

"White, sleep with me a little longer. I was exhausted yesterday. I can't sleep without you." Jin coaxed shamelessly.

"Fine, but only for half an hour. Everyone has already started training. We can't slack off!" White nodded.

Jin narrowed his eyes and thought, How many people want to lie around like I do? Probably more than the hairs on my head! Ah, happiness came too fast. I'm a little caught off guard.

Half an hour later, White chased Jin out.

"Ah! The weather is really nice today!" Jin stretched and said.

"Jin, you got up so 'early,'" Aunt Lanhui Zi said with a smile.

"Aunt Lanhui Zi, these are all the ninjutsu I know. Do whatever you think is best. You have more experience than any of us. The future of these children will depend on the foundation you lay! I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first." Jin handed Lanhui Zi a scroll and used an excuse to slip away.

"What an arrogant little brat! Let's see what kind of ninjutsu these are." Lanhui Zi opened the scroll.

"What? Impossible! They're all A-rank and B-rank techniques! There are actually more than a hundred of them! My God, how did he do it?" Lanhui Zi said in astonishment.

"I know. He does this all the time!" said White, the person closest to Jin.

"I can guess too!" Kimimaro said.

"Taking things while passing by!" the three said at once, then burst out laughing together.

Jin quietly walked up behind Hinata, moving lightly. Then he covered her eyes with both hands and said, "Guess who I am?"

"Jin, you're here. Father said you're the head of a household now. You need to take care of yourself and not overwork." Hinata fiddled with the front of her clothes as she spoke.

"Ahem, well... never mind. You're still young. You wouldn't understand. I came to see whether you've grown taller. Hmm, you're as tall as me now. Are you free? I'll treat you to some meat." Jin asked with a smile.

"Jin, when I grow up, can I treat you to meat too?" Hinata asked softly.

"Of course. Did you already eat breakfast? Sorry, I forgot. I'll treat you to a drink instead." Jin said.

Boom! A huge blast rang out. Boom! Boom! Boom! A series of explosions followed.

Jin's expression changed. Hinata, already frightened, threw herself into Jin's arms. With no time to think, Jin picked Hinata up and ran toward his home.

"She already has the speed of a genin at such a young age. That old man is truly terrifying! If I could ask him to train the children of the Hyuga Clan, how powerful would our family become? It seems I made the right choice by marrying Hinata off so early. How ironic! The flowers one carefully plants refuse to bloom, while the willow one casually sticks in the ground grows into a shade tree!" Hiashi Hyuga said with a sigh.

Jin ran all the way back to the main hall of the clan. Upon seeing White and the other two, he hurriedly said, "Help me take care of Hinata. A vicious guy has come outside! Hinata won't be safe in the Hyuga Clan. Tell everyone not to run outside unless it's absolutely necessary."

Whoosh! Jin vanished!

"Hinata, you have to keep Jin's secret! He likes you very much. Otherwise, he wouldn't have carried you here at a time like this!" White said.

Hinata nodded.

"You finally came out! Let's change locations and have a proper fight. Konoha's ninja are coming after us." Deidara said with a laugh.

"As you wish! But I have one condition. If I beat you, you can't set foot in Konoha for ten years!" Jin stated his condition for battle.

To be honest, Jin was somewhat afraid of explosives. He was someone who habitually used his right hand. When he was little, he had set off a firecracker, holding it in his left hand and the match in his right. Once he lit it, he habitually threw the match away. As a result, his hand was blasted numb. From then on, he never played with firecrackers again. Now that he saw Deidara, he inevitably felt uncomfortable, so he set that condition.

"Fine! Old man, I agree!" Deidara said readily, thinking, If I want to draw you out, do I really need to look for you myself? I can send someone to Konoha and specifically request you for a mission. Won't you come out then? What a foolish old man.

The two arrived at an open space and stared at each other from fifty meters apart.

"C1 Clay Snake! Explosions are art!" Deidara said with a smile. A snake rushed toward Jin at high speed.

Everyone knew the snake couldn't be touched, and Jin knew its danger even better. "Phantom Clone Technique!" Jin shouted. Poof! Countless Jins appeared around the area.

Boom! A small group of Jin's shadow clones was blown away!

"Hahaha, interesting! More targets! C1 Clay Spider! C1 Clay Great Bird!" Deidara stood atop the great bird.

The sounds of explosions rang out without end.

"Phantom Clone Technique!" Jin created countless more shadow clones. Then two shadow clones threw another shadow clone into the air to attack Deidara. In an instant, the sky was filled with thousands of shadow clones attacking Deidara.

"What a nuisance! C1 Clay Twin-Winged Bird! C1 Clay Owl! C2 Clay Dragon!" Deidara said.

In an instant, all of Jin's shadow clones were pierced by the three remote-controlled bombs in the sky, which then continued flying overhead and looked down at Jin on the ground.
