Art That Won't Die in an Explosion? Try the Azure Dragon Cursed Seal

Uchiha Linghua did not dodge. She ignored the explosions and kept throwing punches through the flames and shockwaves.

The Explosive Clay that carried his art had become mere fireworks along her path.

"Damn it!"

Deidara slammed his hands together.
