Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

"It's about here. Hmm."

With the time set a little earlier, Deidara, standing on the clay bird, flew all the way and finally chose a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains as the burial ground for the five people below.

He maneuvered the clay bird to face the five members of the Xuanyuan Clan, picked up a large pile of finished C1 clay spiders, and said with a smirk:

"A bunch of vulgar people who don't know how to appreciate the beauty of art. Now, open your eyes wide and learn what real art is! Hmm!"

Deidara threw his hands, and a large number of clay spiders fell from the sky, landing on the ranks of Xuanyuan's men.

Upon seeing this, one of the Xuanyuan clan ninjas quickly formed a hand seal:

"Earth Escape·Earthquake Core!"

The ground where the five Xuanyuan were located quickly sank, the surrounding area rose up, and the sky above them was tightly enveloped.

Deidara watched this unfold and formed hand seals.

"drink!"

Boom!

A series of explosions sounded.

The soil above Xuanyuan's head didn't hold for long before it was blown apart.

The remaining C1 clay spiders, with their eight legs, swiftly passed through the gap and surged towards them.

"Use Lightning Release!"

With his rich combat experience, Hagoromo Akira quickly came up with a countermeasure.

As expected, accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of the Lightning Release ninjutsu, the attacking C1 clay spiders instantly went silent and could no longer move.

"Tch~ They discovered the flaws in the clay so quickly."

Deidara said unhappily.

Then, when he saw that all five members of the Xuanyuan Clan could use powerful lightning ninjutsu, he curled his lip in disapproval.

But it doesn't matter.

Deidara became serious at this moment, carefully examining the Xuanyuan troops standing ready on the ground, and analyzed:

"The five maintained perfect formation and coordinated perfectly throughout their actions, denying them any opportunity to use taijutsu. In terms of ninjutsu, aside from one using Earth Release, all five are proficient in Wind Release and Lightning Release. It's possible they can even use Fire Release and Water Release as well. Their ninjutsu releases are very decisive; they use whatever they can. Their chakra reserves are likely significantly higher than those of a normal ninja. Considering all this, these guys are quite well-rounded."

Although Deidara is unconventional, eccentric, and daring, he possesses an extraordinary dedication to his art. His personality is similar to Hidan's, being relatively simple and straightforward.

Unlike Hidan, he is calm, cunning, decisive, and possesses rigorous and meticulous tactical thinking during combat.

After a brief exchange and a quick analysis of the abilities and characteristics of the Xuanyuan Clan, Deidara reached into his ninja bag filled with clay and began chewing again with his two large mouths.

In just a few breaths, a batch of clay double-winged birds and clay grasshoppers were spat out from the two mouths in his palm.

While Lightning Release is effective against clay bombs, it only works if it hits the target.

In addition, ninjutsu consumes far more energy than clay bombs.

This time, Deidara specially created the agile and compact clay twin-winged bird, which is extremely fast, and the equally small clay grasshopper, which is very bouncy and difficult to hit.

"Come again!"

Deidara grinned and tossed his hands, and Clay Twin-Winged Bird took flight first, launching an attack on Xuanyuan Clan from the air at high speed.

Following closely behind, the clay grasshoppers that had fallen to the ground hopped and skipped aimlessly as they surrounded the Xuanyuan Clan.

Faced with a combined attack from both the air and the ground, the Xuanyuan forces did not scatter.

Knowing that doing so would only result in them being defeated one by one by Deidara, they remained together. Under the command of their leader, Hagoromo Akira, they used ninjutsu to block the clay bombs from getting closer while running towards the dense forest not far away.

"Want to escape?"

Deidara formed hand seals and shouted:

"burst!"

Boom!

Under his control, the two small, two-winged birds accelerated, nimbly dodging the lightning ninjutsu that had just been released, and rushed into the Xuanyuan group at an extremely fast speed, exploding in one fell swoop.

In that instant, two broad, calloused hands caught the two two-winged birds.

After the explosion.

Click~click~

The Earth Release: Hardening Technique wrapped around Hagoromo Akira's palm completely shattered.

With a slight tremor in his hands, he glanced at Deidara, who remained hovering high in the sky, out of the range of his ninjutsu, and said calmly:

"move on."

The key to victory in this battle lies in whether Deidara can land.

The enemy was always in the air, so they could only passively take the beating and face a slow death.

Hiding in the dense forest can block Deidara's view.

If the other side wants to control the clay bomb, they must close the distance.

That will be the time for them to unleash their true trump card, the "Exploding Insect" technique that has brought down countless powerful figures.

The other members of the Xuanyuan Clan were also aware of this.

They continued forward in silence, no longer trying to silence the clay twin-winged birds and clay grasshoppers that kept harassing them. Instead, they used area-of-effect ninjutsu to force them back.

Watching the clay bombs either detonate completely or come to a halt under the various ninjutsu, the Xuanyuan Clan drew ever closer to the dense forest. Deidara, high in the sky, stroked his chin thoughtfully:

"Trying to use the dense forest to conceal my vision and slow down the clay bomb's movement. Should I keep up?"

"of course not."

"The enemy isn't just using so much chakra to hide in the dense forest and slow down their attack. Their goal is to lure me down. They're probably preparing a killing move."

Deidara chuckled.

He's not stupid at all, unlike Hidan who's a reckless fool who knowingly charges into traps without thinking.

"Since that's the case, then let you all be reduced to ashes by my artwork."

Deidara reached into his ninja bag with his right hand again, his large mouth swallowing large mouthfuls of clay. After chewing for a longer time than before, a doll-shaped explosive bomb was swallowed out of his mouth and fell into his palm.

C3·No. 18.

A doll bomb made of explosive clay, infused with the user's highest level of chakra.

Its explosion could destroy a village.

Destroying this dense forest below would be far too easy.

Seeing that Xuanyuan and his group had already hidden in the dense forest, Deidara calmly raised the doll in his hand, released his five fingers, and the airdrop was activated.

At first, the doll descended rather slowly.

Soon, as the doll's size increased, its descent speed also increased.

As we approached the dense forest.

Deidara formed hand seals and shouted excitedly:

"Art is explosion! Drink!"

A dazzling white light erupted from the enlarged doll.

A moment later.

boom! ! !

A deafening explosion sounded.

Centered on the doll, a sizable mushroom cloud was instantly created, spreading in all directions at a visible speed.

Wherever it passed, everything instantly turned to ashes.

The same applies to dense forests.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 168: Being Recruited

A blinding white light instantly enveloped the dense forest.

Accompanying this was a destructive force that swept everything away.

I watched as the lush canopy overhead turned to ashes in an instant, and the thick trunk continued to crumble and disintegrate downwards.

The five members of the Xuanyuan Clan, who were right in the blast radius and had no time to escape, changed their expressions, decisively clapped their hands together, and shouted:

"Barrier Technique: Five Elements Mutual Generation!"

The five elements of fire, earth, wind, water, and thunder burst forth from the five people instantly, forming a solid protective barrier under the barrier spell, enveloping them.

I just finished all of this.

Then the blinding white light descended completely.

Rumble~~~

The earth shook violently, and rocks flew everywhere.

Under the explosion of a bomb powerful enough to destroy a village.

The dense forest below quickly vaporized completely.

The remaining force continued to sweep away layer after layer of soil in the following period.

"It's indescribably beautiful! It might sound boastful, but it's true. My artwork is simply too perfect! Hmm!"

Deidara, standing on the clay bird, spread his arms wide, gazing down at the unparalleled beauty created in that instant after the explosion of C3-18.

A minute later, the explosion ended, leaving only thick smoke spreading out.

Not regretting the fleeting nature of the artwork, but rather feeling even more deeply impressed by the beauty of that moment, Deidara nodded in satisfaction, then looked down again at the completely transformed landscape, now a huge, deep crater.

Because the smoke and dust had not yet dissipated, everything inside the pit was very blurry.
