The explosive hurricane scattered the white clay birds.
Deidara, piloting a large white bird, circled in the air, laughing happily.
"Haha, it feels so good to fight in the air! They don't know Lightning Release!"
He carefully examined the three ninjas from Sunagakure again, and yes, they certainly didn't know how.
"Hey! Kakuzu, let's not kill them so quickly, okay?"
While dodging Gaara's yellow sand, Kakuzu said to Deidara, "If you don't work hard, I'll kill you and collect the bounty! You're worth 30 million ryo!"
"Fine, fine." Deidara looked dejected, reaching his hands into his ninja tool pouch, his hands munching on clay.
A giant white dragon materialized in Deidara's hands. He mounted the dragon, while the large white bird from before flapped its wings and charged rapidly toward Gaara.
Temari waved her large fan, and gusts of wind blew towards the large white clay bird.
The large white bird flapped its wings, nimbly dodging the oncoming hurricane.
Ignoring the damage, Hidan charged over the sand wall, swinging his scythe towards Kankuro.
A giant hand made of yellow sand emerged from the sand, grabbed Hidan's right leg, and twisted it forcefully.
Hidan's right leg immediately twisted into a pretzel shape.
"Ouch!" Hidan yelled as he ran forward on one leg, his hands moving non-stop as he swung his scythe to hook Kankuro, then grabbed the rope behind the scythe and pulled hard.
Kankuro's body was Hidan to pieces. Hidan laughed and picked up an arm, then stretched out his tongue to lick the broken part of the arm.
"Hmm?" Hidan frowned. "Why is it a puppet?"
"Hahahaha!" Laughter echoed from the sky as Deidara, clutching his stomach, sat atop the giant white clay dragon. " Hidan- nii, you're so funny!"
"I understand! The leader must have seen that I was unhappy because I lost my companions, so he sent me here. And indeed, I'm very happy!"
Lightning Release: False Darkness!
A violent Lightning Release Chakra flew towards Gaara, Gaara waved his hands, and a wall of sand rose from the ground.
Hidan forcefully pulled on his right leg, putting the bone back in place.
The puppet doll that had fallen to the ground had its bandages loosened layer by layer, and Kankuro crawled out from inside.
He stretched out his hands, Chakra Threads connected to the scattered puppets on the ground, reassembling them into a monstrous killing machine.
Kankuro, looking at Gaara beside him, asked, "The enemy is troublesome. Gaara, do you have any ideas?"
Gaara didn't even turn his head, staring at the three people in front of him. "Just don't get in the way!"
Kakuzu forms hand Hand Seals.
" Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"
A massive storm whipped up the yellow sand, creating huge craters that swept towards the three of them.
Kankuro, as a ninja from Sunagakure, was no stranger to wind, but the Wind Release Ninjutsu before him was still beyond his expectations.
"So strong!" he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Gaara raised his hands, aiming at the incoming Ninjutsu.
Wind Release: Infinite Sandstorm Great Breakthrough!
The gale whipped up the yellow sand, forming giant waves that collided with Kakuzu's Wind Release.
The massive explosion blew the surrounding figures blinding them.
A giant clay dragon hovers above the explosion, with Deidara on its back.
The wind and waves made the dragon sway precariously, but Deidara instead showed a happy smile.
"Haha, Kakuzu- nii, give me some more Wind Release! I feel like I'm surfing!"
Kakuzu looked up at Deidara in the sky and said seriously, " Deidara, if you don't take this seriously, I will report your situation to the leader truthfully."
"Alright, alright." Deidara's smile faded, and he said to Kakuzu, "I'm getting serious now, Kakuzu- nii, just watch my performance."
Clay Bird emerged from Deidara's sleeves and flew towards Gaara.
Temari was about to use Wind Release when she was entangled by Hidan. His peculiar three-section scythe made Temari flustered and in grave danger.
Just as Kankuro was about to make a move, the dragon spat out a cannonball from its mouth and attacked him.
Faced with this bomb, Kankuro dared not use his puppets to block it and could only keep dodging.
The endless yellow sand beneath Gaara's feet formed sand bullets that shot down all the Clay Bird flying overhead.
Deidara looked at Gaara and Hand Seals with one hand.
Gaara sensed something was wrong; white Clay Spider had somehow crawled onto his feet.
" Art is an Explosion, drink!"
With a deafening roar, the massive explosion sent up a cloud of yellow sand.
As the smoke cleared, a huge, deep pit was revealed.
A giant hand made of yellow sand rose from the ground and reached out to grab Deidara.
The clay dragon flapped its wings and rose into the higher sky.
The coiled clay dragon opened its massive mouth, and smaller dragons emerged from it, following its wings, and flew towards the three people below.
Rumble.
Explosions kept echoing across the ground!
Hidan was blasted about 10 meters away. Looking at Deidara in the sky, he angrily said, "Ouch! Deidara, come down! I'm going to sacrifice you to that Lord Jashin!"
Kakuzu had stopped fighting and stood quietly to the side, watching Deidara's performance in the sky.
A white Clay Spider quietly crawled onto Temari's right leg, and she was about to swat it away.
The Clay Spider suddenly exploded with a loud bang.
Temari used her fan to support her body, looking at her bloodied and mangled right leg.
Am I going to die here today?
Countless Clay Bomb continued to rain down on the three of them.
The yellow sand swirled around Kankuro and Temari, drawing the three together. Countless grains of sand surged up from the ground, forming a giant sand sphere that enveloped the three of them.
Deidara looked at the large sand ball on the ground, appearing somewhat excited.
The clay dragon spat out cannonballs that exploded on the giant sand sphere.
Rumble, rumble.
Amidst the explosions, the giant sand sphere remained Fudo.
"Damn it! It's so hard." Deidara looked somewhat annoyed. He looked at the tiny Clay Spider in his hand, put it down again, and instead took out more clay, creating a huge clay dragon.
"Try this one!"
The clay dragon flapped its wings and pounced on the giant sand sphere.
" Art is an Explosion, drink!"
With a shout from Deidara, a massive explosion sent up a huge cloud of sand.
The blast created a storm that sent onlookers flying.
Hidan grumbled as he got up from the ground.
A huge hole was blasted open in the sand dune, revealing the three people hiding inside.
Gaara stretched out his arm towards the opening in the sand sphere.
Yellow sand surged up from the ground, completely filling the cracks that had just been blasted open.
Kakuzu raised his head and said to Deidara in the sky, " Deidara, if you're going to waste any more time, just leave it to us."
"Damn it! I can't even play with it!" Deidara took out a bunch of tiny Clay Spider again and threw them at the large sand ball on the ground.
Clay Spider climbed onto the large sand ball and began digging holes in the sand.
Gaara heard a soft, rustling sound coming from all around the sand, and countless tiny spiders crawling out from the walls.
Deidara forms a hand Hand Seals with one hand.
"Art is..."
Before he could finish speaking, his eyes widened.
