Ninja World: I, Kisame Hoshigaki, am no longer human!

Among Kisame's three disciples, even the weakest one, Karin, has awakened the Adamantine Sealing Chains ability. How much have Haku and Kimimaro grown during this time?

It's safe to say that the next two are definitely stronger than Karin.

Thinking of this, Tsunade frowned and looked at Yekura, who was watching from the sidelines not far away. Under her gaze, Yekura seemed a little guilty and lowered her head.

As expected, the information provided by Yekura was wrong. She had most likely sided with Kisame and conspired with him to deceive her with false information.

asshole.

Tsunade cursed inwardly, clenching her fists until the veins on the back of her hands bulged. She glared angrily at Deidara in the crowd and yelled at him:

"Deidara, you're up for the second match!"

"what?!"

Deidara was quite surprised to hear this and subconsciously asked, "Lady Tsunade, shouldn't I be the last one to go? No one but me can deal with Kimimaro."

He always thought his mission was to defeat Kimimaro, but he never expected that Tsunade would arrange for him to enter the fray ahead of time.

Temari, Yamato, Gaara, and others were also surprised and puzzled by Tsunade's decision. After all, if Deidara played in the second round, it would mean that one of them would face the strongest Kimimaro in the third round.

"Stop talking nonsense and get out here right now."

Tsunade interrupted Deidara's rambling and shouted again, startling him so much that he jumped out of the way.

"Haku's Ice Release is a very troublesome bloodline limit, and I suspect that he, like Karin, has developed a powerful trump card. However, your Explosion Release counters it to some extent. Therefore, I need you to be fully focused and win this battle! Do you understand?"

Tsunade shouted at Deidara.

She also knew that if Deidara was sent out in advance, there would be no one to deal with Kimimaro, and the hope of winning the third battle would be very slim.

but.

Tsunade had a gut feeling that if she didn't send out her strongest player, Deidara, in the second round, the match would likely end prematurely, ending in a 0-2 defeat for her team.

Kisame had anticipated her thoughts and had dug a pit for her, intending to inflict a humiliating defeat upon her.

Therefore, Tsunade decided to change the plan at the last minute and send Deidara in.

Regardless of the final outcome, at least we should win one game to save face.

So, Deidara reluctantly walked to the center of the stage and met Bai's eyes, who had been waiting there.

"Are you ready?" Bai asked Deidara politely before making his move.

"Sigh, there's just no way around it."

Upon hearing this, Deidara shook his head, glanced at Haku and Kimimaro not far behind him, and said, "It seems I have no choice but to take on both of you at once. I'll blast you away first, and then defeat that Kimimaro guy. That way, I can win the final victory for Lady Tsunade in this match."

"First of all, this competition is not a series of challenges. Secondly, you think you can get past me? It won't be that easy."

Faced with Deidara's contemptuous attitude, Haku coldly said, and without giving the other party any face, immediately launched an attack.

Take a break.

With a simple gesture, he raised his hand, and without any hand seals, three ice spikes appeared out of thin air and shot towards Deidara.

Ok?

Deidara was taken aback by Haku's instantaneous ninjutsu, and was caught completely off guard.

In his haste, he didn't have time to form hand seals and could only roll to the side, narrowly avoiding the white ice spikes. Unfortunately, he was still grazed by one of the ice spikes, leaving a wound.

hiss!

Deidara gasped, immediately feeling an extremely cold chill spreading along his wounds to his limbs and bones, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, as if even his blood was about to stop flowing.

That's a terrifying ice-style ninjutsu.

The seemingly insignificant ice spike possessed deadly power; a mere glancing blow nearly caused Deidara to crash and fall, resulting in his defeat.

Having learned a heavy lesson right from the start, Deidara's expression turned serious, and he completely abandoned any intention to underestimate his opponent.

Whoosh.

He leaped backward, trying to create distance between himself and Bai, while simultaneously making a throwing motion with both hands.

The next instant, countless tiny clay spiders flew out of the mouth in his palm and rained down on Bai.

"drink!"

Deidara's lips curled up, he formed a hand seal with one hand and shouted softly. When the small spiders reached the white body, he did not hesitate to activate his Explosion Release, detonating them from a distance.

Boom boom boom.

In an instant, like a fireworks display, bursts of fire appeared around Bai, threatening to engulf him.

But Bai remained calm. Before he could form any hand seals, a large number of translucent ice blocks appeared out of thin air around him, forming an ice fortress that protected Bai inside.

Deidara's clay spider explosion failed to harm even a single hair on Haku's head.

With a thought from Bai Xin, the Ice Fortress slowly opened, then transformed into an ice surface that rapidly spread from beneath his feet, covering almost half of the stage in the blink of an eye.

hateful.

Seeing this, Deidara gritted his teeth, not only because his attack had failed, but also because Haku's posture was too elegant, making him look more like an artist than the disheveled Deidara.

Indeed, at this moment, Bai is like an artist who manipulates the power of ice and snow.

Seeing that the entire arena was about to be covered by Haku's ice release and completely become his territory, Deidara chose to summon Asuka.

Peng's sound.

After a cloud of white smoke dissipated, a giant clay bird appeared. Deidara jumped onto the bird's back without hesitation and ordered it to flap its wings and soar into the sky.

Take a break.

A large number of ice spikes shot from the ground, indicating that Haku had discovered Deidara's intention and was trying to shoot down the birds with the ice spikes.

However, under Deidara's skillful manipulation, the clay bird nimbly dodged all the ice spikes and brought him to a safe height.

This place is fifty meters above the ground.

At this height, Haku's Ice Release ninjutsu is out of reach. Even long-range ice spikes lose speed and most of their destructive power after climbing fifty meters, becoming less of a threat.

"Hahahaha!"

Deidara breathed a sigh of relief, put his hands on his hips, and burst into laughter. Although this fighting style was somewhat dishonorable, he didn't care about such things in order to win.

What he needs to do next is to use a more powerful clay bomb to blast the white figure on the ground, along with the ice-escape turtle shell next to him, and he should be able to end the battle easily.

302, Best of three

C2 Dragon!

Having gained air superiority, Deidara quickly created a giant white dragon from explosive clay, which swooped down from mid-air and bombarded White with astonishing speed and power.

Bai frowned, not underestimating his opponent, and finally raised his hand to form a hand seal, setting up several layers of ice barrier around himself to form an all-round defense without any blind spots.

Then, the clay dragon that fell from the sky crashed hard into the ice barrier and exploded.

boom.

The deafening roar, accompanied by the shockwave from the explosion, shook the entire Divine Tree Grand Stage.

The violent collision of flames and ice generated a large amount of water vapor, forming a thick, white smoke that enveloped the battlefield.

"Did Deidara succeed? Even though it was a real combat match, this guy was too reckless."

On the sidelines, Temari and the others looked horrified. They weren't worried that Deidara would lose, but they were very worried that Haku would be seriously injured by the explosion, since the explosion was uncontrollable.

"Hahaha, you've tasted my power now, you Ice Release brat!"

In mid-air, Deidara laughed triumphantly, convinced that victory was assured. It should be noted that the explosive power of the C2 dragon far surpassed that of the C1 clay spider, and even he rarely used it.

Then, as the fog on the ground dissipated, Deidara's smile abruptly vanished.

Because Bai was still standing there unharmed. Although part of the ice barrier around his body was broken, the remaining part was indestructible, gleaming with a black metallic luster, as hard as steel.

It seems that this is the extraordinary aspect of White Ice Release.

"It's my turn."

Bai looked up at Deidara in mid-air, his gaze sharpened, he murmured something, then clasped his hands together and let out a clear shout.

Swish!

The next second, a huge ice cone several meters in diameter shot up from behind Bai, like a tree growing wildly upwards, instantly extending to a distance of tens of meters above the ground.

The ice spike approached Deidara at incredible speed, aiming to pierce him through, bird and all.

Damn it.

Deidara's eyes narrowed, and he didn't have time to steer the bird to turn and dodge. He had no choice but to abandon the bird to save himself, so he pushed off the bird's back with both feet and leaped high into the air.

"Wow!"

He had just jumped up when the clay bird beneath his feet was pierced by an ice spike, letting out a shrill scream as it fell from mid-air.

Deidara, who narrowly avoided falling, was about to plummet from a height of tens of meters when he suddenly reached out and grabbed a tree branch above his head.

Yes, tree branches.

"Fortunately, the terrain saved me. I really am the chosen one, hehe."

Dida wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and then leaped onto a tree branch.

Although he had just flown into the air on a bird, he should remember that this was inside the divine tree. What was above everyone's heads was not an endless blue sky, but the branches and leaves of the divine tree.

The white figure on the ground was also astonished upon seeing this scene.

At this moment, Deidara had completely escaped his attack range, so in order to win this battle, Haku jumped onto the ice spikes he had created without hesitation and charged towards Deidara.

"Don't get too cocky, you brat!"

Deidara clenched his fist and cursed. He would never admit that his Explosion Release was inferior to Haku's Ice Release, much less that the art of explosion had lost to the art of ice and snow.

So, facing the aggressively approaching Haku, Deidara's eyes turned cold, and he decided to disregard everything else and unleash his most powerful explosive.

Deidara's Explosion Release involves mixing his own chakra into explosive clay, and based on the level of chakra mixed in, it can be divided into three levels: C1, C2, and C3.

With each upgrade of the explosive clay, the explosive power increases exponentially, or even multiplys.

In the previous battles, Deidara had used C1 Spider and C2 Dragon, but neither could defeat Haku. However, he was full of confidence in C3 because it was completely different.
