With the help of those Rock Ninja, Deidara had an enormous amount of clay at his disposal. Though the clay consumed a great deal of chakra, it was clearly an excellent trap.
Watching the anomaly below, Uchiha Shunichi began considering whether he should leave for a moment. After a brief thought, he vanished from where he stood.
The next second, Uchiha Shunichi appeared out of thin air beside Karin. Having just used Flying Thunder God, he felt somewhat dizzy...
Karin was slightly surprised by Uchiha Shunichi's sudden appearance. But she quickly recovered and looked at him with concern.
"I'm fine. I'm just not used to Flying Thunder God yet. How did the Fourth Hokage ever adapt to such rapid spatial shifts?" Uchiha Shunichi rubbed his eyes, feeling the discomfort in his mind fade away.

"That really is surprising. But... could those Rock Ninja and Deidara actually survive such a massive explosion?" Uchiha Shunichi said with a sigh.
Deidara truly was a genius. At only nineteen, he was already powerful enough to rival a Kage.
If something had not gone wrong with his head, he would probably have become the next Tsuchikage.
