The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

Scorpion's voice came from Hiruko, and then his tail tightened, the venom-covered stinger already piercing Yura's skin.

Splash...

Countless grains of yellow sand fell, clearly indicating that this was just a sand clone.

Bang!

Not only Yura, but also the Sand Ninja who fell in the First Line of Heaven, also turned into white mist and disappeared at the same time, which was obviously a clone in disguise.

"All Sand Ninja, charge! Kill these two spies who are trying to invade the village!"

In the distance, Yura's true form appeared behind many Sand Ninja and pointed at the Art Duo.

As long as I kill him, no one will know that I am a spy, and I will still be the same high-ranking official of the Sand Village whose word is law!

"Haha, that's hilarious, your subordinate actually betrayed you."

Deidara, standing to the side, grinned from ear to ear, completely oblivious to the fact that he had fallen into a trap.

"Hmph, I was hoping to save some energy, but it seems I haven't made a move in so long that they've all forgotten the origin of my name, Sasori of the Red Sand."

Hiruko's jaw suddenly opened, and a dense barrage of poison needles and thorns shot out, creating a line of death. No Sand Ninja could get within three zhang of Hiruko.

In the blink of an eye, countless Sand Ninja lay dead, their blood flowing like rivers.

"Lord Scorpion, I was just trying to play a joke on you... Ah!"

With a scream, Yura's fate was sealed.

In the world of ninjas, power is nothing but a mirage; only by becoming strong can one bear the corresponding ambition.

Chapter 99 Deidara VS Gaara

"Art is an explosion!"

With a low shout from Deidara, a series of explosions rang out, and the Sand Ninjas whose legs were entangled by the clay centipede collapsed to the ground in the explosions.

To keep her identity as Sasori's spy in Sunagakure and to prevent the village's higher-ups from finding out, Yura did not reveal Sasori's information to the public. Instead, she mobilized members of her own personal guard.

Therefore, even though hundreds of Sand Ninja had been slaughtered, the Sand Village remained peaceful, enveloped in the golden glow of the setting sun.

"Brother Sasori, the ninjas in your village are not only few in number, but their strength also seems rather weak!"

Deidara ripped off his straw hat, revealing long, dark yellow hair and a rather handsome young face.

"Everything in Sunagakure has long since become irrelevant to me. Otherwise, why would I have killed the Third Kazekage back then?"

Scorpion stood still, his tone calm and even, only showing a slight fluctuation when he mentioned the Third Kazekage.

Hyuga Zetsu of Konoha Village, one day you will surpass the Third Kazekage and become the most satisfying eternal work of art in my hands.

“Then, according to the plan, I will begin the attack on Sunagakure from above. As for Sasori, you can just stay here and watch.”

Deidara opened his palm, revealing a mouth complete with teeth and a tongue. A ball of snow-white, cotton-like exploding clay was pushed out by his tongue. After kneading it for a few breaths with his five fingers together, it transformed into a lifelike bird.

This is Deidara's unique bloodline limit, Explosion Release. He puts specially made white clay into his mouth in his palm, chews it, mixes it with his own chakra, and then molds it into different animals as needed to approach the enemy and detonate it. It can also perform simple actions according to Deidara's will.

"How is my artistic style?"

As Deidara formed hand seals, the bird, which was only slightly larger than a fingertip, transformed into a colossal creature with a wingspan of two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters). Deidara then leaped onto the giant bird's back.

"Don't keep me waiting too long, Deidara. Hopefully, you can complete the mission before I finish this new human puppet."

Sasori didn't even raise his head at Deidara's showing off, focusing intently on manipulating Yura's body.

With a few rapid flaps of its wings, the giant clay bird slowly rose and flew into the sky above the Sand Village, which was filled with cylindrical houses.

Only after Deidara's figure had become a small black dot in the sky did Sasori shake the blood off his palm and glance at Deidara's back.

Sasori had a premonition that Deidara's operation to capture the One-Tailed Jinchuriki would not go as smoothly as he had imagined.

"The jinchūriki of Shukaku, Gaara of the Sandstorm..."

High in the sky, Deidara looked extremely excited, eager to show the world the power of his explosive art.

"one two Three……"

With the help of a special device worn on his left eye, Deidara was able to clearly observe the Sand Village ninjas in different locations, who were using telescopes to monitor the high altitudes.

Go on!

Three clay grasshoppers descended from the sky, silently landing behind the three targets. They then leaped up, their slender legs gripping the faces of the Sand Ninja, obscuring their vision.

"Art is an explosion, drink!"

With a loud shout, the three clay grasshoppers exploded simultaneously, sending up white mist that blasted the three Sand Ninja into a bloody mess, knocking them unconscious.

"That should be it!"

After circling twice, Deidara quickly locked onto the most conspicuous target.

It was a building with a light blue exterior and a huge "wind" character written on the wall.

The Kazekage Building of Sunagakure.

For Deidara, although intelligence indicated that Gaara was in Sunagakure, his exact location was difficult to pinpoint.

How do we find the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast?

Nothing can alert the enemy more than a massive explosion!

Deidara held a large lump of clay in his palm. This time, he didn't shape it into anything, but simply rolled it into a ball and threw it down at the Kazekage Building.

Explosive Clay - Explosive Bomb!

boom!

A massive explosion resounded throughout the entire Sand Village, blasting a large hole in the top of the Kazekage Building, from which thick smoke billowed upwards.

Deidara was originally a lawless person. Even when he was still in Iwagakure, he blew up the Tsuchikage building to test the power of clay explosions. Relying on his aerial advantage and thinking that the Sand Village was pitifully weak, Deidara became even more unscrupulous.

"Enemy attack!"

The Sand Ninja shouted, quickly spotting Deidara high in the sky. However, faced with the giant clay bird circling dozens of feet above, the Sand Ninja could only look on in despair.

Using ninjutsu was clearly beyond the attack range; throwing ninja tools, however, was unlikely to hit a giant clay bird that was constantly spreading its wings and circling.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing the group of Sand Ninja filled with rage but looking helpless, Deidara let out a smug laugh.

With a casual wave of his hand, Deidara unleashed a barrage of clay explosives that rained down on the streets, buildings, and even the bodies of the Sand Village ninja.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions rang out, engulfing the entire Sand Village in smoke and plunging everything into chaos.

"Haha, it's been so long since I've been able to express my art so freely, it's really exhilarating!"

Faced with the sudden attack, the leaderless Sand Village ninja were not only unable to organize a powerful counterattack, but were also in complete disarray, completely losing the organizational capacity that the Five Great Ninja Villages should have.

"Gaara, don't go out. He's wearing a black trench coat with red clouds, and he's very likely the Akatsuki member that Konoha mentioned. He's probably here specifically for you."

Seeing Gaara carrying the sand gourd, he wanted to rush out, but Temari grabbed her brother's arm and tried to dissuade him.

"I am also a ninja from Sunagakure, and I absolutely cannot stand idly by while the village is under attack."

Gaara stared straight at Temari, his eyes no longer filled with indifference and murderous intent, but with an unprecedented determination.

"Be very careful."

Although she was extremely reluctant, Temari slowly released her grip on Gaara's fingers.

Whoosh!

A large amount of yellow sand shot out from Gaara's sand gourd, like an arrow soaring into the sky, heading straight for Deidara high in the air.

Has it finally appeared? The Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast!

Deidara glanced down at his palm and saw that the giant clay was still chewing, and the new explosive clay was not yet ready. So he did not attack immediately, but instead manipulated the clay bird to dodge left and right in the high sky, trying to increase the distance between himself and the yellow sand.

Gaara rose slowly atop a cloud of sand, constantly waving his arms to manipulate the yellow sand as he chased after the giant clay bird.

If one attack wasn't enough, they launched two; if two weren't enough, they launched four, relentlessly attacking Deidara.

"What an impressive Jinchūriki! He even has the ability to fly..."

Looking at Gaara, who was at the same height, Deidara showed a hint of surprise.

The fact that the opponent could fly using sand undoubtedly weakened Deidara's aerial advantage.

Ok?

After repeated attempts to encircle and intercept him failed, Gaara lost his patience and raised his hands.

Waves of sand surged from the ground of Sunagakure, rising up like waterfalls of sand, filling the entire sky.

Chapter 100 Remote Intervention

"We do have the advantage of location, but I'm almost ready."

As Gaara pulled up an enormous amount of yellow sand from the ground, Deidara's brow furrowed slightly, but quickly relaxed.

As white mist rose, a clay double-winged bird, thinner and longer with two pairs of wings, flapped its wings wildly and shot towards Gaara.

This two-winged bird was incredibly fast. Gaara's newly formed Shukaku Claws seemed extremely clumsy, as it passed right through his fingers and arrived in front of Gaara in the blink of an eye.

"explode!"

With a low shout from Deidara, the clay twin-winged bird exploded in a burst of orange flames, instantly engulfing Gaara.

Gaara!

Kankuro on the ground was filled with anxiety, but he was powerless to do anything about the fierce battle in the sky.

The flames dissipated, revealing an absolute defense completely encased in sand; the explosion hadn't even left a trace on its surface.

"You managed to defend against even that kind of attack, not bad!"

Deidara gazed at the enormous, unified sand sphere in the distance and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

At that moment, Deidara felt a darkness descend upon him as an attack formed from condensed yellow sand shot down from above, almost within arm's reach.

not good!
