"You audacious madman!"
"The delegations from the Five Great Nations have been on their way to the talks for several days!"
Samurai A gripped the hilt of his sword tightly with both hands, as if only in this way could he find the courage to look directly into Scorpion's emotionless eyes!
"The Kage have already seen through the Akatsuki's movements. I advise you to flee immediately!"
"Clang, clang, clang!"
As the samurai finished speaking, streaks of cold light flashed in the darkness, pointing directly at Sasori of the Red Sand!
Facing dozens of sword-wielding samurai alone, Scorpion remained completely calm.
"I see..."
Scorpion analyzed thoughtfully, "No wonder we were surrounded by those lowlifes as soon as we entered your territory."
"So the mission was leaked. It seems there are still traitors from five countries within the organization that haven't been completely eliminated."
As Sasori said this, the first person he suspected was Uchiha Itachi, who had defected from Konoha!
Scorpion pulled out a scroll from his pocket and calmly looked at the tense samurai opposite him!
"But it doesn't matter. After I've turned you into art in my hands, I'll deal with that damned traitor!"
" Crow, Black Ant, Ibuse!"
The scroll in Scorpion's hand unfurled instantly, revealing three strangely shaped puppets in the white mist!
"Do it!"
" Sword Drawing Slash!"
"Iai·Slay the Dragon!"
The blades gleamed coldly as the samurai's desperate counterattack blossomed in the darkness... and then faded away.
The flickering Kakkō in the distance was so clear in the darkness.
The Konoha team, despite their rapid advance, ultimately arrived a step later than Deidara and Sasori!
"Action!"
With a low shout, Tsunade and another muscular figure plunged into the darkness first!
Staring at the figures soaring freely in the distant sky, Tsunade inwardly!
The burly figure beside him couldn't hide the anger in his eyes!
The veins on his arms bulged, and a faint crackling of electricity seemed to emanate from them!
" Hokage, take me up there!"
Raikage A looked up at Deidara, who was clad in red clouds and black robes, and gritted his teeth, whispering, "I'm going to kill that bastard with my own hands!!"
Tsunade frowned slightly. " Raikage, control your temper!"
"Capturing him alive is more valuable than capturing him dead!"
"Don't forget, they can dig that information out of your brother's head—his fate and whereabouts!"
Tsunade was so well-prepared that even Ibiki Morino, the captain of Konoha's Konoha Torture and Interrogation Force, was in her entourage.
Having just experienced Jiraiya's death, Tsunade was eager to kill Deidara and Sasori, both official members of Akatsuki, immediately.
But the real key is to capture and extract the memories from their minds!
When Killer B's life or death was mentioned, Raikage A secretly suppressed the murderous intent boiling in his heart!
Reason prevailed over emotion, and Ai reluctantly replied, "Understood."
Tsunade glanced at the brute beside her, speechless.
Just a few hours ago, Raikage suddenly appeared, looking travel-worn and all alone.
After some conversation, it was learned that as early as the day after Killer B was captured, the farthest Kumogakure, had already set off for the Land of Iron.
After receiving urgent intelligence from Konoha on the way, the Raikage, that reckless man, abandoned the main force and sped towards the Land of Iron.
Finally, at the border of the Land of Iron, they encountered Tsunade's team.
Under the cover of darkness, Tsunade and A's movements went unnoticed by Deidara, who was caught up in the revelry!
" Hokage!"
Raikage A gave a low shout, his eyes glancing at Tsunade as he slightly leaped into the air!
Tsunade, who was already prepared, aimed at the figure on the strange bird in the sky. Her monstrous power surged, and after a moment of charging with her right foot, she sent the Raikage flying into the air!
Flying Ninjutsu is not a common Ninjutsu that everyone knows!
With the Tsuchikage absent, Tsunade and the Raikage can only team up against Deidara!
"What a wonderful moment!"
Lost in the explosion of art below, Deidara was finally drawn to the increasingly clear sound of wind breaking through the air!
Without even turning his head, Deidara tossed the white clay he had just chewed into the source of the whistling sound behind him! At the same time, he controlled the giant clay bird, swiftly veering to the side!
Did you notice? But it's too late!
Lightning Release: Body Flicker Technique!
" Guillotine Drop!"
With a loud shout, the long-suppressed lightning exploded in the air!
With a close-range Body Flicker Technique, the figure enveloped in raging lightning appeared right in front of Deidara in the blink of an eye!
Deidara's breath caught in his throat for a moment as the violent downward slash magnified in his pupils!
"Drink!!"
Realizing he couldn't dodge, Deidara turned his head and decisively detonated half of the giant bird's wing!
Even if it meant taking a kick, he would still bite off a piece of the enemy's flesh. Tsunade was watching from below, frowned secretly.
"Boom boom boom!!"
Kakkō burst forth in the sky, and the scorching heatwaves surged in all directions in the blink of an eye!
"Bang, bang!"
Two figures leaped out of the Kakkō and crashed to the ground one after the other!
Tsunade took a closer look and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If even an ordinary member is that strong, then the five-nation alliance would truly be a joke!
Deidara, pulling the wingless monster bird with one hand, didn't forget to use his mouth and tongue between his palms to swallow and store the clay on the monster bird's back as it fell!
Turning his head to look at the empty arm on his left, Deidara's face, which had been beaming just moments before, instantly turned incredibly gloomy!
Unlike Deidara, who lost an arm, Raikage A, who took the blast head-on, was only half-naked and looked slightly disheveled.
The Setsuna Deidara detonated, A had already enveloped his entire body in Lightning Release Armor!
If Deidara hadn't detonated it beforehand, and if A had landed on the clay bird's back first, Deidara wouldn't have even had a chance to detonate it!
This is the powerful effect of making the information public; Deidara is naturally countered by Lightning Release!
The powerful Lightning Release can directly turn the explosive clay that Deidara spews out into a dud!
The prerequisite is that your Lightning Release is strong enough!
Otherwise, sudden close contact would be suicide!
And Raikage A is clearly Deidara's nemesis!
"Surrender, Deidara!"
Tsunade, who had been waiting on the ground for a long time, had already blocked Deidara's retreat route!
A Body Flicker Technique, standing before Deidara and glaring angrily. "Confess everything about your organization, and the whereabouts of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki!"
"Hehe,"
Deidara chuckled softly, and the giant clay bird beneath his feet visibly shrank!
"C4 Garuda!"
Deidara suddenly raised one hand, and the small ball of clay he spat out expanded rapidly!
Lightning Release: Lariat!!
The thunder roared and raged, instantly covering the expanding clay!
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"
Looking at the exploding clay that had been rendered useless by Lightning Release, Deidara's eyes were filled with utter malice!
Lightning Release, the Chakra nature that Deidara hates the most, without exception!
This is also why they were constantly being hunted down by the Kumo Ninja but were unable to launch an effective counterattack!
That's how it is...
A glint of madness flashed in Deidara's eyes!
A sudden swelling in the chest, a sharp tearing sound of clothes being ripped!
A pink tongue, protruding from Deidara's chest, tore his tattered uniform to shreds in the blink of an eye!
"Then let me show you my ultimate art!!"
