As soon as they landed, a violent surge of Chakra erupted in front of them.
The violent Fire Style and Lightning Release releases collided violently, distorting the air with heat waves.
"The battle is already halfway through, Sasuke should be close to being cornered."
Uchiha Xin was about to step forward to watch the battle when he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Its exceptional perception detected the strange fluctuations in space.
Ten meters ahead, the space was stirred by an invisible force, creating a distorted vortex.
Two figures fell from the vortex and landed steadily on tree branches.
It was Obito wearing a mask, and Deidara with a displeased expression.
Uchiha Xin was somewhat surprised.
" Deidara is still alive? He didn't die in a self-destruction attack with Sasuke?"
He quickly figured out the key point.
In the original timeline, Deidara deliberately provoked Sasuke, which is why he self-destructed.
Now that Sasuke is fighting Itachi, Obito deliberately brought him here to watch, with ulterior motives.
As soon as Obito regained his footing, he immediately noticed a figure under the tree.
Upon seeing Uchiha Xin's face, the look in his eyes beneath the mask changed, and a storm of emotions surged within him.
" Uchiha Xin? What's he doing here!"
His muscles were tense, his alertness heightened, but he quickly composed himself and switched into acting mode.
He feigned ignorance and pointed at Deidara, exclaiming loudly.
"Wow! Deidara- senpai is amazing!"
"His sensory abilities are unparalleled! He actually managed to find the person hiding here! Tobi is so impressed!"
Obito feigned praise, but in reality, he wanted to use the impulsive Deidara to test Uchiha Xin's true strength.
Deidara was already frustrated because he hadn't been able to fight Sasuke.
He became extremely proud after being Obito.
He looked in the direction the finger was pointing and saw Uchiha Xin standing leisurely under the tree.
"Huh? Who's this guy? Konoha ninja?"
Deidara leaped down from the tree branch, walked up to Uchiha Xin, looked him up and down, and spoke arrogantly.
"Hey! Kid, who are you? What are you doing lurking around here like this?"
Uchiha Xin completely ignored his taunts.
He didn't even glance at Deidara, but looked past him and stared directly at Obito in the tree.
His ambiguous smile and knowing look saw through all his secrets, making Obito inexplicably uneasy and uncomfortable.
"Hahaha! Coward, come and see real art!"
Deidara laughed wildly.
He quickly reached into the clay bag at his waist with both hands, and rapidly chewed two clumps of Explosive Clay between his palms and mouth.
He raised his hand and flicked it, and several lifelike Clay Bird shot into the air.
The bird nimbly turned in the air and instantly rushed in front of Uchiha Xin.
"Drink!"
Deidara formed a hand Hand Seals with one hand and let out a low shout.
Rumble!
A violent explosion reverberated through the dense forest, and blinding Kakkō shot into the sky.
A violent shockwave swept in all directions, uprooting the surrounding trees.
A tree branch in the distance Obito, covered its head with its hands and shouted in feigned panic.
"Oh my god! Deidara- senpai's art is terrifying! It's deafening for Tobi!"
Despite his shouting, his one eye was fixed on the center of the explosion, trying to figure out Uchiha Xin's background.
The smoke of battle slowly dissipated.
The tall, slender figure stood silently in place.
Uchiha Xin still had his hands in his pockets, his clothes spotless.
The deadly explosion at close range failed to harm him in the slightest.
Deidara's smile froze instantly, his eyes widening in disbelief.
He couldn't see at all what defensive methods the other party used.
"You bastard, don't be so arrogant!"
Deidara gritted his teeth and roared, grabbing another handful of Explosive Clay.
Countless tiny clay grasshoppers scattered on the ground, gathering into a black tide that surged wildly towards Uchiha Xin.
Faced with the overwhelming offensive, Uchiha Xin finally managed to free his right hand.
He casually raised his hand, palm facing the onrushing swarm of insects.
Shinra Tensei.
The four words were uttered softly.
boom!
A tremendous and terrifying repulsive force suddenly erupted from him, compressing and distorting the air.
The clay grasshoppers in the front row were instantly shattered into dust.
The remaining insect swarm was swept away by the repulsive force and flew back at ten times the speed.
Deidara's expression changed drastically, and he was greatly alarmed.
Before he could even Hand Seals to detonate it, the grasshopper flying backwards had already triggered a chain reaction of explosions.
Boom boom boom!
The violent blast wave knocked Deidara to the ground.
Obito was in the distance, was also affected by the aftershocks.
"Whoa! Help! Tobi is going to be blown up!"
Obito a flustered state, gesturing wildly, while secretly activating Kamui Intangibility.
All the Shockwave and flames passed right through his body without causing him any harm.
He rolled around on the ground a few times, pretending to be covered in dirt.
Deidara got up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and glared angrily at Obito.
" Tobi! You piece of trash, get lost!"
"Get out of my way, you're interrupting my artistic performance!"
Obito patted his clothes, looking aggrieved.
" Deidara -senpai is so fierce, Tobi is ignoring you."
His mind was preoccupied with Itachi and Sasuke's decisive battle, and he had no desire to get entangled in the conflict.
Following Deidara's lead, Obito casually agreed.
"Ah Tobi, you can retreat first. Senior, take your time having fun!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure vanished as space twisted, using Kamui to escape the battlefield.
With Obito gone, Deidara focused all his anger and attention on Uchiha Xin.
"The troublesome one's gone. Now, let me show you my C2 Dragon!"
Deidara rapidly Hand Seals.
A colossal white clay dragon rose from the ground.
He stood atop the dragon's head, looking down at the world below.
The dragon opened its gaping maw, unleashing a deluge of miniature Clay Bomb that bombarded the ground relentlessly.
Just then, a deafening thunderclap resounded in the distant night sky.
Rumble!
A blinding flash of lightning illuminated the entire night sky.
A thunderous Kirin, capable of blotting out the sky, broke through the clouds and slammed into the ground with earth-shattering force.
Uchiha Xin raised his eyes and glanced at the Kirin in the distance.
He knew that Itachi's duel with Sasuke had reached its final stage, where all their trump cards had been revealed.
Time is running out.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at the bombs falling from the sky, no longer holding back.
A torrent of Yin Release Chakra erupted forth.
A dark purple half-skull instantly enveloped his body, flesh and blood rapidly regenerated, covering him with a thick Chakra Armor.
Susanoo!
Boom boom boom!
Countless bombs slammed into Susanoo's armor, exploding one after another, and Kakkō engulfed the entire forest.
The armor remained as solid as a mountain, without a single crack, easily blocking all attacks.
"It's time to end this."
Amidst the deafening explosion, Uchiha Xin's voice rang out clearly.
"I'm not playing with you anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished from the Susanoo armor.
Deidara stood atop the dragon's head, gazing triumphantly at the sea of fire below.
A deadly chill suddenly swept over my back.
Deidara was startled and turned around abruptly.
Uchiha Xin had already appeared behind him like a ghost.
No Hand Seals or unnecessary movements are required.
Uchiha Xin raised his right leg and kicked Deidara hard in the back.
Bang!
A dull thud resounded.
Deidara felt excruciating pain in his spine, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and plummeted from the sky like a kite with a broken string.
"Hateful!"
Deidara, suspended in mid-air, endured the excruciating pain and quickly Hand Seals.
A giant Clay Bird appeared out of thin air and caught him as he fell.
