Epilogue

Deidara conjured a giant bird, which carried him rapidly into the sky.

Uzumaki alternated his hands, unleashing several punches at Deidara. The Rock Fist roared through the air, reaching the giant bird in the blink of an eye. Deidara could only keep controlling the giant bird as it soared into the sky.

Once Deidara had broken free of the attack range of the Uzumaki Hane, he rode the giant bird to a stop in the air. Sensing the dwindling Chakra within him, Deidara knew he needed to finish the battle quickly.

Deidara reached into the package with his right hand, took out a large lump of clay, and ate it directly.

Uzumaki Hane stared intently at Deidara's actions, thinking to himself, "Eating clay into his own mouth... could it be that move, C4 Karura? Has Deidara already developed it? A special move specifically to deal with Itachi?" Naturally, Uzumaki Hane couldn't let Deidara use it, so he directly unleashed his ultimate move, "Great Eruption," bringing his hands together to unleash a gigantic Rock Fist that blotted out the sky and rushed towards Deidara.

Deidara quickly swallowed the clay, and before he could even form hand seals, he shouted, "Damn brat, that trick again!" He then controlled the giant bird to plunge downwards, while simultaneously leaping off the bird himself.

Seeing the giant bird arrive above the Rock Fist, Deidara shouted, "Hah!" The giant bird exploded, blasting a large hole in the Rock Fist, sending lava flying everywhere, and a rain of lava began to fall from the sky. However, the Rock Fist's momentum did not diminish, and it continued to charge towards Deidara.

Seeing Deidara engulfed by the Rock Fist, Uzumaki Hane murmured, "Is it over? Even Deidara wouldn't survive being hit like that."

At that moment, Uzumaki Hane noticed a figure descending from the sky. Uzumaki Hane focused his gaze and realized it was Deidara. Uzumaki Hane thought to himself, "He's not dead? Impossible. That was a clone. Did he create a clone while the giant bird exploded?"

As Deidara descended, he rapidly Hand Seals, looking down at Uzumaki Hane and excitedly exclaimed, "This is my ultimate move! Now, die, Uzumaki Hane!" He then opened his mouth and continuously spat out white clay, and a giant Deidara slowly appeared, crashing heavily to the ground, instantly causing countless cracks to appear in the earth beneath his feet.

Deidara landed directly on the shoulder of the giant Deidara, quickly conjuring a giant bird with his hands. Deidara rode the bird and flew into the sky again. Then, Deidara controlled the giant Deidara to turn towards the Uzumaki Hane and stomped down on it.

Uzumaki Hane looked at the giant Deidara and thought to himself, "This is bad. If countless small bombs really explode inside my body, I won't be able to survive." As Deidara stomped down, Uzumaki Hane retreated, and with a bang, a large crater was created in the ground, and dust billowed up.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a lava javelin hurtled towards Deidara overhead.

Deidara, controlling the giant bird, dodged the lava javelin and looked at Uzumaki Hane, saying, "C4, nanoscale bombs. By creating a storm from the explosion of its massive body, it disperses tiny bombs invisible to the naked eye into the air. If a living being is caught in it, it will inhale these tiny bombs. When they explode, they will destroy the living being directly at the cellular level, turning it into ashes. This is my masterpiece. Disappear, Uzumaki Hane! Art is an Explosion! Hah!" The entire gigantic Deidara suddenly expanded and then exploded.

Uzumaki Hane Feather retreated rapidly, but how could he outrun the storm generated by the explosion? Uzumaki Hane slowly turned into ashes and disappeared into the air. All the creatures in the forest also turned into ashes and vanished.

Deidara: "Gagaga, I won, you damn brat, this is my art."

Suddenly, a Magma Arm emerged from Deidara's chest. Deidara was somewhat taken aback, glanced at the arm in front of his chest, and then turned to look behind him, only to see Uzumaki Hane standing behind him at some point.

Uzumaki Hane said, "Deidara, you were careless. I indeed couldn't see the bombs that are invisible to the naked eye. But your location is definitely outside the range of the small bombs. As long as I stay near you, I won't get hurt."

Deidara said, "How is that possible? When did you do that?" Suddenly Deidara had a flash of inspiration and said, "It was that lava javelin. You transformed yourself into the lava javelin and threw it up. What was just destroyed was just your clone."

Uzumaki Hane said, "That's right, I won this time."

Deidara laughed, "It's too early to talk about victory or defeat. Luckily, I'm usually quite cautious, and I imagine your Chakra is almost depleted. Without Chakra, I don't believe you can still have such powerful regenerative abilities."

Uzumaki Hane instinctively sensed something was wrong. Bang! Deidara emerged from the back of the giant bird, grabbing Uzumaki Hane's foot with one hand. Deidara, whose chest had been pierced by Uzumaki Hane, was instantly transformed into a white clay figure.

Deidara said, "I won this time."

Uzumaki Hane thought to himself, "Clay Clone?" Uzumaki Hane realized that he couldn't break free in a short time, so he opened his mouth and spewed a large ball of lava at Deidara below.

Deidara dared not let the lava spray onto him, so he burrowed into the giant bird and left from beneath it. At the same time, his Clay Clone tightly bound Uzumaki Hane, making it impossible for Uzumaki Hane to escape.

Deidara muttered, "Damn it, almost there, I could have used C4, haha." With a bang, the giant bird above exploded. The shockwave slammed Deidara into the ground, Deidara coughed up a mouthful of blood, thinking, "My internal organs are injured, but Uzumaki Hane is going to die this time." He endured the pain and stood up from the ground.

Deidara looked up at the sky and saw a figure falling rapidly, crashing into the ground and creating a deep crater.

At this moment, Uzumaki Hane's body had returned to normal, and she slowly walked out of the deep pit. The two stood face to face, ten meters apart.

Deidara said in a deep voice, "How did you know about my C4? If you hadn't dodged in time, I would have won, hmm."

Without saying a word, Uzumaki Hane rushed to Deidara's side and punched Deidara in the face. Deidara tried to dodge, but stumbled and was sent flying by Uzumaki Hane's punch.

Deidara crashed heavily into the tree trunk, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he slid to the ground.

Uzumaki Hane said, "It seems your Chakra is completely depleted; your movements have become so sluggish."

Deidara struggled to his feet and said, "You're about the same. This punch was much weaker than before, hmm." At the same time, Deidara thought to himself, "It seems I underestimated Uzumaki Hane's strength. I can't get the ring back this time. Now I need to find a way to escape, hmm."

Deidara looked at Uzumaki Hane and said, "Now I'll show you my ultimate art." He took out a lump of clay with his right hand and ate it.
