After all, when a ninja is facing a life-and-death situation, any carelessness could result in death.

In the face of Huang Tu's persuasion, Deidara smiled and stood quietly in place, his eyes sweeping over the Rock Ninjas present one by one, finally stopping on Huang Tu.

"Brother Huangtu, ordinary people like you cannot understand the art I pursue, but Brother Xie understands me. Although we are two extremes, we complement each other and redeem each other."

"This art...is the moment...and eternity!"

He smiled lightly, his face full of enthusiasm. "Brother Huangtu, this is the last time I will call you this, and I will tell you one last thing. If you take your people away now, I can pretend that nothing happened!"

"Arrogant guy! Are you blind? Can't you see how many people we have here?"

"Deidara you little brat! You're still so childish! You're always busy with art! Do you know how much the Tsuchikage-sama thinks highly of you?!"

"He's just an idiot, what can you say?"

"..."

The Rock Ninjas below were immediately furious and started cursing at Deidara.

When they were in the village earlier, they were very dissatisfied with Deidara, who relied on Ōnoki's favor to carry out terrorist attacks everywhere. Now the other party dared to collude with outsiders to capture the human sacrifice of their own village, which was simply unbearable for them.

But Huang Tu had a gloomy face and remained silent.

There are nearly ten thousand Rock Ninjas in this Flame Mountain, but not one of them can understand his fear of Deidara.

Not only does the opponent have a stubborn and extreme personality, but the same is true of the ninjutsu and abilities he practices.

This is a "biased" ninja who only knows how to attack, but perhaps precisely because of this, the lethality of Deidara's explosive release has reached a level that is completely unimaginable for a normal ninja.

Huang Tu knew very well that the other party was not just talking.

An artist's persistence in art and a paranoid person will definitely do paranoid things.

What Huangtu was worried about was that Deidara and they would both suffer losses.

......

Chapter 720 The so-called way of tolerance

In order to ease the tense atmosphere, Huang Tu interrupted.

"Brother, where did you transfer Han Jonin to? You want the tailed beast, which is actually negotiable, but please don't harm Han Jonin's life. You know, he held you in his arms when you were a child..."

"Tsk..." Deidara sneered and interrupted Huang Tu's words.

"Don't talk about this kind of irrelevant things. I might as well tell you the truth. Any Jinchūriki captured by our Akatsuki organization will have only one fate in the end!"

"!!!" Huang Tu was shocked, his heartbeat quickened, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "What's the outcome?"

"Extract the tailed beast and die!"

"..."

Hearing this, Huang Tu’s face turned pale instantly.

Although he had been mentally prepared to a certain extent, when the prophecy became reality and came out of Deidara's mouth, he still felt heartbroken.

"I should have known this earlier. Why would I bother trying to persuade this kid to change his ways..."

Huang Tu remained silent. He actually made such a stupid decision. It was simply a brain short circuit.

It's obvious that the other party is just an extremely paranoid and selfish kid. How could he understand what the bond between ninjas is?

"Deidara, next time we meet, we'll fight to the death. Let's go!"

After Han Sheng finished speaking, Huang Tu waved his hand and opened the encirclement outside Huoyan Mountain without even looking back.

"grown ups!"

"Don't talk! Follow me!"

"......Yes."

Although the surrounding rock ninjas were unwilling to give in, they had no choice but to follow Huang Tu in evacuating, disappearing one by one into the vast mountains.

Soon, the Iwagakure ninjas on the periphery dispersed like a tide.

......

Deidara watched the figures of Huangtu and others disappear in the sky and on the ground, and he couldn't help but fall silent for a long time, until he heard the footsteps of Scorpion turning around and entering the Flame Mountain, and then he woke up from his meditation.

A trace of bitterness appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Brother Huangtu, you understand me...but that old man doesn't. He wants to carve me into a sculpture that he likes, but is that me still me..."

He didn't want to go back to the Hidden Rock Village, and he couldn't go back anymore...

Only Deidara himself knew that he had made up his mind to die together with his friends!

But he didn't expect that the originally aggressive Iwa Ninja would retreat so easily.

Looking at the figures gradually moving away, Deidara finally breathed a sigh of relief, then sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

Although he was mentally prepared to release the ultimate art, when he was appreciating the beauty of the blue sky and white clouds, he deeply realized that if they could live, no one wanted to die, including him.

In essence, people who want to die just lack love.

In the face of death, Deidara was ultimately unable to remain truly calm.

Once life is gone, everything will be gone.

No matter what form death takes, it is enough to make people feel endless fear.

"Brother Scorpion, I seem to have begun to understand the true meaning of the eternal art you are pursuing..."

......

"How is it? Can you still sense it at this distance?"

Hearing Huang Tu's words, the sensing ninja's mouth revealed a hint of bitterness at this moment, and he shook his head helplessly and replied:

"I'm very sorry, Master Huangtu. Due to the high temperature, the chakra fluctuations around the Flame Mountain are extremely chaotic. We can only maintain normal perception coverage within a three-kilometer radius. Once we exceed this distance, we will be disturbed by the external environment."

The distance of three kilometers may not seem far, but for a ninja, this distance can be reached in a blink of an eye.

"Is it impossible to solve this problem?"

Huang Tu frowned and asked in confusion.

The person next to him is undoubtedly the chief perception ninja of Iwagakure. The perception ability he has demonstrated is unparalleled among the others!

However, fate seemed to be playing a joke on him at this time, leaving Huang Tu in a dilemma.

If you get too close, your troops will be seriously threatened. If you are too far away, you will not be able to form an effective encirclement and the enemy will escape.

The prerequisite for the successful implementation of ambush tactics is naturally a strict and accurate intelligence network.

However, now he was helpless as he watched the lack of intelligence.

This is the dilemma that Iwagakure is currently facing. Without sufficient intelligence support, the so-called tactics and strategies will have to be shelved, and he and his subordinates will have to block the exit of the Flaming Mountain at the risk of their lives.

"I am truly powerless..."

Hearing this, Huang Tu couldn't help but sigh.

In the final analysis, the foundation of ninjutsu is chakra, and perception ninjutsu is to spread one's own chakra to form a vast "sight", thereby constructing an invisible network field in order to gain insight into changes in the surrounding environment.

However, since it is chakra, then as long as these external chakras are disrupted, the purpose of effective interference can be achieved.

It is common for a harsh external environment to affect the performance of sensory ninjutsu.

"I didn't expect that in just a few days, the situation has developed to this point... Akatsuki is truly a formidable enemy!"

Didn’t you see that even Ōnoki was beaten to the point of losing his temper, and handed over the power to his son to take a chance and see if he could save the only remaining jinchūriki of the Iwagakure Village.

When leaving the village, Ohnoki secretly told Huang Tu, "If things are impossible, you have to protect the ninjas in the village and don't make unnecessary sacrifices."

But Huang Tu's expression soon became determined and he muttered to himself.

"Father, maybe you can be cruel enough, but I can't. It's not humane for me to watch my fellow villagers die without helping them!"

......

The pale-faced, blood-stained Iwagakure jonin looked as if he was burning away all his anger.

In the Flaming Mountain ahead, raging magma is gushing out. The scorching flames make the earth roll and burn, turning it into a burning ocean and reducing the earth to ruins.

The ground was covered with countless deep and shallow holes caused by artillery shells, which was shocking to see.

The Rock Ninjas performed defensive ninjutsu to resist the bombing attacks from the sky.

The shocking fire lit up the night sky before dawn. Facing Deidara's aggressive offensive, the Iwagakure ninja resolutely built a defense line.

"C3 Eighteen! Drink!"

The huge puppet fell from the sky with destructive force, and then fell to the ground, like a bright meteor across the sky, and finally burst into dazzling light and deafening explosion on the ground.

The earth was covered in blood and thick smoke, and the white snow was dyed black and red.

Under this dense firepower, it seemed that there was no difference between the sky and the earth. Bodies that had been blown to pieces could be seen scattered everywhere.

......

Chapter 721: Molten Escape. Flower-Fruit Mountain!

"It's Manda! Are Orochimaru and Hiruko here too!?"

Feeling a huge figure rushing quickly towards the interior of the flaming mountains, Huang Tu's face suddenly became ugly.

"Lao Zi, you must hide well!"

.......

"hiss……"

I saw a giant snake appear on the ground of Flame Mountain. Its agile and ferocious posture was like a divine beast descending. Its extremely cold body rolled up like a dark cloud, intertwining and colliding with the vast magma released from the Flame Mountain Pass. Bursts of buzzing sounds were heard in the air.

Mountains crumble.

Countless flamingos turned into blood-red mist and dissipated into the air.

In the dust filled with the smell of blood, a white snake taller than a hill was looming in the smoke, with a long tongue sticking out of its ferocious bloody mouth and its cold eyes looking down at the reptiles on the ground.

"Lao Zi, show up and die quickly. Let me see you off!" The impatient voices of the Ten Thousand Snakes echoed between heaven and earth, resounding like thunder in every inch of land above the Flaming Mountain.

Hearing this voice, the faces of the Huangtu and Yannin outside changed suddenly, and they were horrified in their hearts.
