Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Rustling sounds... His little hands were in his pockets as he chewed.

"Then, use my C2 to take down those two guys..."

Boom! Accompanied by white smoke, a giant dragon coiled on the open ground. The 11-year-old Deidara's chakra reserves were certainly not as great as when he was 19, and his size was only one-third of what it was back then. But it was undeniable that it was more than enough to flatten an area within a hundred meters!

Splash!

The dragon opened its mouth and spat out a large number of round landmines.

"Hmm, Black Earth isn't here, so I'll have to plant the landmines myself..." Xiao Di said, forming an earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic seal).

The landmine sank into the soil with a whoosh! But just as it was halfway buried, the sound of hurried footsteps trudging through the mud could be heard.

Xiao Di frowned: "Huh? They're already here? There's no time to bury the other half! This will reduce my art by half! I will never forgive those two bastards! Hmm!"

Xiao Di jumped on one leg and landed on the dragon's back, sitting down.

Whoosh! The giant dragon flapped its wings and took flight, stopping at a height of about 20 meters.

Attacks under C2 consume more chakra than C1. Flying high is safe, but it will inevitably lead to a decrease in accuracy and a waste of chakra, which is not in line with Deidara's art!

Sasuke rushed forward and saw a large number of white spheres piled up on the ground. He stopped abruptly: "Hey, what are those?! Could they be bombs?!"

"Hehehe...you guessed right!" Deidara formed hand seals: "Drink!!"

Boom! Boom! The landmines exploded, shaking the heavens and the earth.

"Ah!!" Sasuke was thrown back by the blast even from a great distance!!

Coo coo coo... In the sky, the dragon's tail retracted, its mouth opened wide, and it spat out a flying bomb!

The flying pig is very heavy, with small wings, and it glides forward at an extremely high speed!

Sasuke was powerless to dodge, and in desperation, he could only thrust his Chidori Spear forward!

Click!

The flying bomb was cut in two by the sharp spear, but continued to fly due to inertia, landing on either side of Sasuke.

At that moment, Naruto arrived.

Sasuke yelled, "Don't come any closer!! That guy's bomb is right next to me, I'm doomed, run, Naruto!!"

Without a word, Naruto rushed forward, picked up Sasuke, and ran backward!

Sasuke asked in bewilderment, "Why?! Are you out of your mind?!"

Naruto retorted matter-of-factly, "What are you talking about? We're friends now, aren't we? How can you stand by and watch a friend die?!"

"Friends? But we only just met today!" Sasuke exclaimed in astonishment.

“How long we’ve known each other doesn’t matter. We’ve been through thick and thin together, and that’s more important than anything else, isn’t it?” Naruto said sincerely.

"Hmph, I'm really impressed by you..." Sasuke's lips curled into a helpless yet touching smile.

He jumped off Naruto's back and ran alongside him, glancing back at the dud bomb behind them. He frowned, thinking: Why didn't it explode? Was it a dud, or did he hold back? No, that can't be... Could it be!

A thought flashed through Sasuke's mind, and he asked, "Naruto, do you know which element Lightning Release is effective against?"

Naruto pinched his chin as he ran: "Hmm, my dad said that lightning style seems to be effective against earth style..."

Sasuke's lips curled into a smile: "Looks like it. That guy's explosive ninjutsu is Earth Release! That's why it was silenced when hit by my Lightning Release..."

Bang! !

At this moment, the C2 dragon, which was relentlessly pursuing from high above, opened its mouth again, and a flying pig even larger than before was poised to take off!

Crack! Sasuke attempted to use the Chidori Spear again, but failed...

*Whoosh!* His Sharingan vanished! He crouched on the spot: "Damn it! My chakra is running out, this is really the end!!"

“Using Lightning Release will break that guy’s technique, right?” Naruto said with an unusually calm expression.

Sasuke looked up at Naruto, frowning, and said, "That bomb is bigger than before. To disable it, we'll probably need to use a stronger Lightning Release technique, and we have to do it before the bomb falls!"

“Understood…” Naruto smiled and thought: Dad, it seems that 5% of my strength is not enough for this Chunin Exams, so I’m going to free up 10% on my own!

Boom! Naruto used Shadow Clone Jutsu.

The main body uses the Rasengan, while the clones handle...

"Hehe, now it's really over!!!" Xiao Di laughed as she formed a hand seal.

Bang! ! !

A giant flying pig swooped down...

"Hey, Naruto...you!?" Sasuke stared dumbfounded at Naruto in front of him, the lightning ball spinning rapidly in his hand!

"Ah, I only recently managed to do that too, incorporating lightning attributes into this Rasengan, and..." Naruto jumped up.

The shadow clone slammed its palms down on Naruto's feet.

Wind Release: Gale Palm!!!

Boom!! Naruto shot straight up like a white rainbow, piercing through the oncoming flying boar, and then threw the Rasengan in his hand into the sky!!

Whoosh!! The Rasengan vanished in an instant...

"Phew, that startled me..." Deidara was initially shocked, but upon seeing this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment!

Boom! A burst of lightning exploded on his left shoulder. "Ah!!" he cried out in alarm, falling off the C2 dragon!

After the Rasengan is combined with Lightning Release!

It turned into the disappearing Rasengan!

Thud! Naruto landed on the ground: "Done..."

“Naruto, what is it you…” Sasuke stared blankly at Naruto’s back.

Chapter 259 What could have been avoided, but...! (3/5)

Thud! Xiao Di fell heavily to the ground, this time hitting his waist and unable to move!

A huge black shadow loomed over Naruto and Sasuke.

Without Deidara's control, if the C2 dragon were to explode, not a single person within a hundred meters would survive! Including Naruto, Sasuke, and Deidara—none of them would survive!

Whoosh! Naruto scooped up Sasuke and dashed to the side!

However, avoiding the range of the C2 dragon itself is already the limit; getting away from the blast radius is simply impossible!

Unless Naruto can use the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, but unfortunately... he can't right now!!

Boom!! Fortunately, the C2 dragon landed without exploding.

That makes sense. As Deidara's mount, the C2 dragon must have considerable resistance to explosion. Otherwise, if the enemy attacks it, wouldn't it blow itself up?

However... if Deidara detonates it manually, that's a different story!

Demizo was hit in the left arm by the Rasengan and couldn't move. He raised his right hand, his little face showing the stubbornness of an artist: "Hehehe, art is an instantaneous explosion!"

He's going to detonate it and take Naruto and Sasuke down with him!

Molten Release: Lime Condensation Technique!

At that moment, a stream of cement fell from mid-air, poured onto Deidara, and solidified instantly, sealing him in place!

Thud! Black Soil landed to the side, patted his chest: "Phew, at least I made it in time!"

"Hey, Kurotsuchi, what are you doing? Untie this damn lime, I'm going to blow those two bastards up!!" Deidara complained.

Kurotsuchi, with his hands on his hips, said, "You idiot Deidara, do you think I'd just stand by and watch you die?!"

In the distance, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief: "Looks like we've escaped unscathed!"

After forming the hand seal, he reached out towards the C2 dragon...

Crackling! Crackling! Lightning Release chakra was continuously poured in...

Actually, he could have simply ignored the bomb and retreated to a safe area with Sasuke, but that would inevitably endanger others. If it were Konoha ninjas who were to be harmed, wouldn't that be disastrous...?

At that moment, Kankuro also came closer.

Sasuke's expression changed drastically: "It's this guy! He stole my scroll before the exam!"

Kankuro shrugged and said, "Steal? Hey, can't you handle this? We're all ninjas, it's just that you're not as skilled as others that you couldn't keep an eye on the scroll!"

Seeing Kankuro's smug look, Sasuke gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Naruto said, "Sasuke, calm down. The danger of this bomb hasn't been eliminated yet. It's not the time to completely turn against them!"

"Tch!" Sasuke could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.

Crackling! Crackling! The erosion of Lightning Release chakra finally rendered the C2 dragon ineffective...

Xiao Di cried out in distress, "Hey, Black Soil, aren't you going to help me get rid of this stinky lime? My skin is about to peel off!"

Black soil forms a hand seal.

*Gurgle!* The lime dissolved, and Xiao Di tried to get up: "Ouch! That hurts! Damn it, my back!"

"!" Kurotsuchi frowned deeply and quickly knelt down to check Deidara's injuries: This is bad! Deidara's back is badly injured and he needs immediate treatment! It seems... he won't be able to continue participating in this Chunin Exams!

"Deidara, bear with it!" Kurotsuchi grabbed Deidara's shoulder and helped him up.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Damn it, it hurts so much! Now I know why old man Onoki always complains about back pain!" Xiao Di cried out in pain, "Feet! Be gentle on the black soil! My feet are broken too!"

Deidara, this should teach you a lesson...

Kurotsuchi didn't say anything, but she felt a pang of heartache and carried Deidara on her back.

Naruto stepped forward and said, "Gentlemen, hand over your scrolls!"

"What did you say?!" Kankuro was about to explode.

"Give him the scroll!" Black Earth made the decision without hesitation.

“Hey…” Kankuro frowned.

"Give it to him!" Black Earth cast a stern look at him!

Kankuro clenched his fists, but could only take out the Heavenly Scroll and throw it over.
