Chapter 192 Deidara Suffers a Patch Weakening

Deidara saw through Sasuke's genjutsu and used a mud clone to deceive Sasuke, while he himself hid inside the bird's body.

As Sasuke was impaled and pierced by the mud clone's chest, Deidara's main body appeared at Sasuke's feet, unleashing C4 that encased the clone in a bomb.

Both sides are running out of chakra; the true outcome will be revealed at this moment.

Sasuke used his Lightning Blade to emerge from the blast zone, ready to face Deidara with the bolt of lightning in his hand.

Seeing the situation was dire, Deidara shouted and detonated the C4. Sasuke, however, had the better timing, getting a step ahead of Deidara.

However, this can't be blamed on Deidara; after all, he also had to guard against the bomb exploding and avoid injuring himself.

The two landed, nearly exhausted, in a small grove of trees.

Without a moment's rest, the two immediately engaged in hand-to-hand combat upon landing.

At this point, a crucial element appears in the story: Lightning Release is effective against Deidara's clay.

"What do you mean? Did you find that Sasuke wouldn't agree, so you added a temporary workaround?"

Fifth Generation Jiraiya is the most qualified to speak on the topic of patching.

When he was writing his books, especially his first one, he made a lot of revisions and additions.

The protagonist is no match for the enemy?

Add a patch.

Is the protagonist's behavior illogical?

Add a patch.

It can be said that the Fifth Generation Jiraiya has already gained experience through patching up and improving his skills.

Basically, whenever the plot of a novel encounters a major change or it becomes unclear how to proceed, then patches are added.

However, a work is a work.

There were bound to be some oversights in the initial design, and the loopholes were filled by adding settings later, which was actually accepted by everyone present.

However, since Naruto is a work closely related to them, it is clearly inappropriate to view Naruto as just a work.

"Is Deidara's explosive ninjutsu an Explosion Release or an Earth Release? We must figure that out."

"Hmm, we can take the opportunity to ask Onoki about it later."

In the anime, Sasuke explained that Deidara's hand seals were all Earth Release seals, which should be countered by Lightning Release.

[The Deidara Exploding Clay series given in the official guidebook is a secret technique; it doesn't specify whether it's Earth Release or Explosion Release, so we won't speculate on that here.]

[Since the official guide doesn't provide the correct answer, let's use the characters within it to corroborate it.]

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Hanzo, resurrected through Edo Tensei, called Deidara "Explosion Release Kid."

Deidara also claimed that he used Explosion Release.

[This clearly shows that the author is ripping off existing settings and the source material.]

"With Hanzo and Deidara's own certification, this explosive clay should be the Explosion Release technique, right?"

"Not necessarily."

The Third Hokage glanced at Kakashi, who was speaking, and explained, "Hanzo didn't understand Deidara after all. It's reasonable that he mistook the exploding clay for an Explosion Release technique."

In Deidara's own words, one could say that he envied those who could use Explosion Release, and thus developed this Earth Release technique, which is similar to Explosion Release.

Kakashi thought the Third Hokage was just being argumentative.

Hanzo is manageable, but Deidara isn't mentally challenged; he doesn't even know what he's capable of.

As for the claim that he developed explosive clay because he envied the Explosion Release technique, that's even more absurd.

Kakashi absolutely refused to believe that Deidara could have independently developed explosive clay at the age of nine.

If this is true, then Deidara would be the number one genius in the ninja world.

However, thinking something in your heart is one thing, saying it out loud is another.

To avoid trouble, Kakashi could only say, "The Third Hokage is right!"

"That's right."

Like Kakashi, Jiraiya also did not believe the Third Hokage's explanation.

As the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, Jiraiya didn't have to worry about many things like Kakashi, and he could speak his mind on the spot.

"Old man, your mind is so sharp, why don't you come and learn to write novels with me?"

"I think you want to peep into the bathhouse but are afraid of being discovered, so you want to drag me down with you."

"How could you insult someone's reputation by taking photos? Can that be called voyeurism?"

"hehe."

The Third Hokage sneered, pulled a small crystal ball from his pocket, and said, "With this crystal ball in hand, why would I need to spy?"

"Since you're a teacher, you should be able to teach me how to use a telescope, not just how to spy."

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

After saying that, Jiraiya looked around guiltily.

I noticed that everyone was looking at me with disdain.

"Ahem. Everyone, please don't misunderstand. The main reason I want to learn the telescope technique is to monitor Konoha and for the safety of the village."

"Heh, do you think we'd believe that?"

Looking at Kushina, who was speaking, Jiraiya replied somewhat hesitantly, "Well... she should believe me, right?"

"Pah~ I really want to spit water on you and kill you. Stay away from our Water Gate in the future, don't lead him astray."

"So you're really comfortable letting Naruto follow me? Aren't you worried I'll corrupt him?"

"How can they be the same?"

Kushina rolled her eyes at Jiraiya, then patted Naruto's head before continuing, "Minato is my husband, and he can only be lustful towards me. Naruto is different. I wish he would bring back ten or eight daughters-in-law for me, so that our Uzumaki clan can expand, rise again, grow stronger, and create new glories."

"."

Everyone was speechless; Kushina's reason was truly audacious.

It's just a bit tough on Naruto.

If I were to marry so many wives, I wonder if my kidneys could handle it.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Naruto's face turned red, and he forgot what he wanted to say.

"Haha, Minato, look how happy our son is, he can't even speak."

"Kushina, is it possible that Naruto is embarrassed?"

"That won't do, son. You have to remember, you can't be shy when you're pursuing a girl. You have to be like your old man back in the day."

"Alright, alright, Kushina, let's stop talking now and continue watching the light screen."

Just as Kushina was about to reveal some embarrassing stories from his childhood, Minato quickly grabbed his wife and stopped her from continuing.

[Anyway, it was just a bunch of nonsense, and Sasuke revealed Deidara's little secret about being afraid of lightning release.]

[Furthermore, Sasuke kept harassing Deidara with Sharingan genjutsu and relentlessly pressing him for the whereabouts of the one-against-seven, leading Adi to strongly believe that Sasuke's expressions and eyes showed considerable disdain for him, looking down on his passion for the explosives industry and his pursuit of the art of bombs.]

[In a fit of rage, Deidara ripped off his underwear, intending to use his ultimate art to take Sasuke down with him.]
