Fierce Battle with Deidara
Another Guren swung her right hand sharply, slicing a puppet in front of her in two, and rushed over to rescue the severed-armed Guren.
Deidara moved his hands, and the remaining puppets rushed towards Guren, their bodies transforming into weapons that struck Guren. Guren could only stop and defend herself against the puppets' attacks.
Deidara looked at the one-armed Guren. At this moment, two puppets had rushed in front of Guren. However, Guren had lost an arm and was unable to Hand Seals. Deidara's lips curled up, and he was about to detonate the puppets.
Suddenly, several crystals emerged from the ground, piercing through the two puppets. At the same time, a new Guren emerged from the bushes behind the severed-armed Guren, having used "Crystal Release: Jade Crystal Labyrinth Technique" to pierce through the puppets.
Deidara snorted coldly, "Hah!" The pierced doll suddenly exploded, with Kakkō shooting into the sky and the shockwave sweeping outwards. The severed-armed Guren was sent flying.
Deidara then looked at the newly appeared Guren and said, "Let me show you the art of my explosions, hmm." He controlled the four puppets and charged towards Guren, who had just attacked.
Guren's expression was cold as she rapidly Hand Seals, unleashing "Crystal Release: Giant Hexagonal Shuriken." A massive, snowflake-shaped crystal Shuriken appeared in her hand, which she hurled at the oncoming puppets, cleaving all four puppets in two. The Shuriken continued its momentum forward.
Just as it was about to reach Deidara controlled a puppet to crash into the Shuriken, causing it to explode with a loud bang, destroying the Shuriken.
The puppet severed by the crystal Shuriken transformed into eight more puppets, which continued to charge towards Guren. Deidara shouted, "Hah!" The eight puppets exploded, instantly blasting Guren to pieces.
Deidara then controlled several more puppets, charging towards the severed-armed Guren who had just been blasted away. Guren was unable to dodge and was entangled by several puppets. Deidara shouted, "Hah!" The puppets exploded, sending Kakkō soaring into the sky and blasting Guren to pieces.
Deidara looked at the last remaining Guren, Guren, who was still entangled with the puppet. Deidara said, "Is it just you left? Then let's finish this quickly, hmm." He Hand Seals, intending to detonate the puppet.
Suddenly, three more Guren appeared around Deidara. The Guren, who were still entangled with the puppets, retreated sharply, breaking free from the puppets' encirclement. The four Crimson Guren each occupied one side, surrounding Deidara and the puppets in the center. "Crystal Release: Crystal Shuriken!" The four Guren, with their hands swirling around shimmering crystal particles, shot countless crystal Shuriken at Deidara.
Crystal Shuriken rained down, a dense, overwhelming barrage, flying towards Deidara and the puppets. Instantly, the puppets were pinned to the ground by the Shuriken.
Deidara shouted, "Art is an Explosion, drink!" He conjured countless white Clay Spider with his hands and threw them in all directions, simultaneously detonating the puppets.
Boom, boom, boom! Explosions rang out continuously, Kakkō shot into the sky, and smoke and dust billowed everywhere.
Guren couldn't see what was happening inside at all, and they all stared intently at the source of the smoke and dust.
Suddenly, four two-winged birds flew towards the four Guren from the smoke and dust. The birds were extremely fast and reached the Guren in the blink of an eye.
However, Guren was prepared. She had already completed the hand seals and used "Crystal Release." Within the encirclement of the four Guren, countless crystal spikes emerged from the ground, piercing not only the attacking birds but also the remaining puppets on the field.
At this moment, Deidara, riding a flying bird, quickly ascended into the sky, dodging the attack of the crystal spikes. Deidara looked down at the Guren below and said, "Alright, I've had enough fun. Now, let me show you my ultimate art. Whether it's clones or barriers, disappear, hmm." Deidara then took out a lump of clay from his pack, ate it, and chewed it continuously.
Outside the barrier, Shion and the others were shocked to see Deidara eat the Explosive Clay. Guren exclaimed in horror, "Oh no! It's Deidara's C4 Karura! We have to leave quickly, or we'll be in danger!" With that, Guren quickly retreated into the distance. Gozu picked up Shion and followed Guren away.
Inside the barrier, Deidara blew out a small sphere. Because he was inside the barrier, Deidara couldn't create too much C4. The sphere fell downwards, and Deidara shouted, "Art is an Explosion, drink!" The sphere exploded.
The four Guren were the first to be hit, instantly turning to ashes, followed by the animals within the barrier. The barrier itself was blasted apart by the explosion, dissipating into countless crystal fragments.
Deidara, riding his flying beast, quickly caught up with Guren, Shion, and the others who were fleeing. Looking down at them, he said, "Hurry up and take care of you, then go find Uzumaki Hane, hmm."
Guren was very dissatisfied with Deidara's disdain. She snorted coldly, Hand Seals, and several huge crystal pillars quickly descended from the sky.
Deidara's lips curled into a smile as he skillfully maneuvered his flying beast, dodging all the pillars. Then, the beast swooped down, and Deidara leaped off its back. In mid-air, Deidara shouted, "Hah!" The beast exploded in front of them.
Guren quickly deployed a large number of crystals in front of her, blocking all the explosions. Shion said in a deep voice, "The enemy is in the air, which is very disadvantageous for us. We must shoot him down."
Guren said, "I'll hold him back, and you can take the opportunity to pull him to the ground." Then she formed hand Hand Seals, "Crystal Release: Crystal Dragon Jutsu!" A crystal-clear aura surrounded Guren and slowly transformed into a huge crystal dragon, breaking through the surrounding dust.
Guren leaped onto the Crystal Dragon's head, causing the Crystal Dragon to stand upright, level with Deidara.
Deidara controlled the giant bird and charged directly at the crystal dragon. At the same time, he conjured another giant bird to catch himself as he fell. Boom! The explosion sent the crystal dragon staggering, and a large hole even appeared at the center of the blast.
Suddenly, several black tentacles emerged from the ground, not only piercing through the giant bird beneath Deidara's feet, but also charging towards Deidara.
Deidara leaped into the air, shouting, "Hah!" The giant bird exploded, sending Kakkō soaring into the sky and billowing smoke.
Suddenly, a tentacle shot out from the smoke and dust, grabbed Deidara's foot, and slammed him to the ground. With a loud bang, the ground exploded, creating a crater the size of a person.
Still not satisfied, Shion controlled even more tentacles to stab at the large pit, wanting to riddle Deidara with holes.
After stabbing, Shion realized Deidara was no longer in the pit. Startled, she shouted, "Everyone, be careful!"
Suddenly, Deidara appeared in front of Shion, several birds flying from his hands. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Shion. Shion was still just a little girl, and she was extremely flustered and did not know how to deal with it. At this moment, Gozu stepped in front of Shion and with a bang, the explosion hit Gozu directly, and blood splattered all over Gozu's body.
