Riding a white bird, Deidara was engaged in a long-distance tug-of-war with the ninjas of Konoha.
The reason for the tug-of-war was that Deidara could not find the weak point of attacking the enemy.
Although the initiative of the explosion is in his own hands, the enemy's tracking chakra needle that can attach lightning escape seems to be the natural enemy of his 'art'.
No matter how many bombs he releases, they will be intercepted outside the safe zone.
He even had to deal with the automatic tracking ability of these chakra needles.
C3·No. 18 still has some inventory. Even if it explodes a little further away, it will be powerful enough to wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop.
However, the premise is that C3·No. 18 has high maneuverability.
Obviously, C3·No. 18 does not have this. On the contrary, because it is injected with too heavy chakra, C3·No. 18 is a cumbersome giant bomb.
It is convenient for hitting ground buildings and large targets. Once it encounters small targets or even targets that are not on the ground, the success rate cannot be said to be zero, but it is definitely not as good as imagined.
"Do you want to use c4?" The power of his bombs is generally divided into four levels.
From c1 to c4, the c1 bomb has the least power, and the c3 and c4 level bombs have huge destructive power.
But similarly, the more advanced the bomb, the easier it is to be seen through.
The most important point is that even the most advanced C4 bombs still have the weakness of being afraid of thunder escape.
Moreover, c4 is his trump card. It would be too hasty to use it here and reveal his trump card.
This is just a one-time assignment.
"We can only wait for the support from Brother Scorpion. My ninjutsu cannot deal with the Thunderbolt Ninja, and more of my information will be exposed. Hmm."
Deidara considered this and kept releasing C1-level induced bombs, firing tepidly at the Konoha ninjas flying behind him.
This slow fighting method resulted in the fighting spirit of both sides not being very high.
Although Konoha has the means to suppress the opponent's ninjutsu, it is obviously impossible to defeat Deidara.
The mere act of flying was too much for them.
"If this continues, even if the fight lasts forever, it will be impossible to determine the winner." Huo Yezi said. Although his tone was calm, he actually felt a little impatient in his heart.
"There is no way, the other party will not fight us head-on. His purpose is only to draw us in so that we cannot successfully rescue Gaara."
Tianzang also sighed helplessly.
Although they could indeed go looking for Gaara immediately, once they did, Deidara would definitely come and harass them, forcing them to fight.
Once accepted, the opponent will immediately enter a tug-of-war and will not engage in a head-on confrontation. "I wonder what happened to Naruto's side." Sai said, seeming a little emotional.
"They have no intention of fighting, so it seems that I can relax a little bit..." Deidara looked back at the four Konoha people riding on the back of the ink bird, and nodded slightly.
This situation is exactly what he wants. It is best to be able to complete the tasks involved without fighting.
"If it's time..."
Deidara was about to take a look at the time to confirm whether the seal over there had been completed. A sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the forest below, startling him.
He subconsciously drove the white bird to dodge to the side. However, it was still too late.
A sharp water blade cut off the white bird's wings without mercy, and roared into the sky.
The white bird, which had lost one of its wings, was immediately unable to balance its body in the air and fell to the forest floor, taking Deidara with it.
"Oops!" Obviously, he was ambushed by the enemy.
He tried his best to adjust his body in the air, and when he was about to fall into the dense forest, he turned his head and looked. A red and white figure appeared in front of him.
The pale ghost face covered the girl's face, and the red eyes stared coldly through the hole in the white ghost face.
"Miko!?"
Deidara didn't have time to react to what was going on. He stretched out his remaining right hand, opened the mouth on the palm, and a white falcon rushed towards the miko who jumped beside him.
Boom! An explosion occurred between the two people. The trees and air shook.
Deidara's body sank rapidly, fell to the ground, and began to roll. When he stopped, Deidara coughed twice violently.
Although the C1 level bomb was not very powerful, the explosion at close range still caused trauma to his body.
"Damn it, where did this shrine maiden appear from? Is this guy among the ninjas from the Demon Country who are chasing after her?"
Deidara spat out a mouthful of blood. No matter how he thought about it, there was nothing about this miko in his mind.
But only one thing is certain, like the 'princess', this miko is also a ninja belonging to the Demon Country's military.
The whooshing sound was heard again. Deidara dodged to the side without hesitation. With a roar, the ground was crushed by the sudden appearance of the sole of his foot.
The evil-looking miko appears again.
The whole body is wrapped in black mist that fluctuates like water. Under the pale evil ghost mask, there are a pair of red eyes shining like red lotus fire.
Deidara felt a chill in his heart, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"After the annoying thunder escape, is it a ghost miko? Mask art is not popular nowadays. Hmm." Boom!
The ghost miko stepped on the ground, ignoring Deidara's murmur. As the sonic boom sounded, the air also shook. The figure of the miko wearing the ghost mask also lost traces from where it was, and rushed to Deidara in the blink of an eye. In front of him, he stretched out his palms as pale as bones and grasped Deidara's face.
It was as if he was going to tear his face alive.
Deidara retreated flexibly. Although he was not good at physical skills, it was only relatively speaking. Deidara still had some confidence in his physical agility.
Evading the attack from the ghost miko, Deidara ran towards the depths of the jungle, eating clay with the mouth on his right hand.
Then, small grasshoppers appeared one after another and swarmed towards the ghost witches who were chasing after them.
Seeing these small bombs swarming up, the eyes of the miko wearing a ghost mask became brighter and brighter.
The figure was like a rushing wind, leaving only a black mist that didn't have time to follow her figure, and the whole person disappeared from the grasshopper-like group of small bombs.
Boom! The fire of the explosion only took away part of the land and trees.
Deidara turned his head, and the ghost miko who was originally located behind him had appeared beside him, turning to stare at him with red eyes.
There was no time to react. His fist dug into Deidara's chest and turned in a circle.
Deidara groaned in pain, and his body immediately turned into a cannonball and flew out, falling into a river.
The cold water spray covered his body and brought him back to his senses in an instant from his painful consciousness.
Deidara vomited blood, his eyes remained firm and unwavering, his steps moved, and he ran with great purpose.
The cold breath chased behind him, and drops of cold sweat flowed down Deidara's cheeks. "It should be right in front." The white bird that had fallen from the sky before, with only one wing left, was right in front of him.
Deidara gathered a large amount of chakra in his legs in one breath, and suddenly distanced himself from the pursuer behind him.
He jumped next to the white bird, stretched out his hand without hesitation, tore off a piece of clay from the white bird's body, and swallowed it crazily.
Deidara swallowed the clay with his mouth and swept deeper into the forest.
The red and white shrine maiden, wearing a white ghost mask, was shrouded in an ominous black mist. In an instant, she rushed into the air from a distance of more than ten meters, and her blood-red eyes locked on Dida who was swallowing clay. pull.
"Although I don't appreciate the art of Miko and Mask, I can still be regarded as a peer of art. Then, you also come to witness my art! Hmm——"
Making a choking sound, Deidara swallowed the chewed clay into his stomach.
A terrifying aura overflowed from his body, and blue chakra was like leaking airflow, shaking the surrounding air and trees.
Bang!
Deidara's body expanded rapidly and turned into a huge, bloated fat man. Tsk! The black and red coat was also pulled apart, making a crisp cracking sound.
"Art is explosion! Drink!"
The swollen human flesh balls stirred up extremely amazing chakra.
The witch's red eyes flashed slightly in mid-air, and the white ghost face immediately turned into black mist and wiped away from her face, revealing a delicate and beautiful girl's face, with long black hair flying in the wind.
Countless pitch-black tentacles protruded from the girl's cuffs and skirt, like coiled snakes, tightly wrapping the girl, forming a huge black tumor.
boom!
The violent white flash swallowed up the forest and also swallowed up the black 'meat balls'.
Pieces of land disappeared in the white explosion light, and trees were uprooted and rushed into the distance.
The light and flames generated by the explosion are like a white sun rising on the ground, causing the existence that touches it to melt in the light.
"Wuzhi——"
Shouting the name of the miko, Hanami Haruka jumped onto the trunk of a tree not far away, using her hands to block the impactful airflow rushing in front of her.
Her hair tied into a side ponytail was blown back, and the strong sand hit her, making her unable to open her eyes.
When the storm and the loud noise subsided, what appeared in front of Hanami Haruka was a forest clearing with trees and land cut away. There was only a huge pothole in the center and a black 'meat ball' that was still stirring up vitality.
However, the life breath of the black 'meat ball' was very weak, as if it had been severely injured. With the dying breath, it retracted its curled up tentacles and retracted them into the girl's cuffs and skirt.
Arriving at the pit where the explosion occurred, Haruka Hanami breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that nothing happened to the girl Wu Zhi.
Then she looked forward with lingering fear, where there were only a few pieces of black rags burning with sparks. "This guy is so crazy, he actually chose to commit suicide..."
Huajianyao swallowed.
"Probably because I felt I couldn't escape, I chose to commit suicide." Wu Zhi said calmly.
She didn't feel anything about Deidara's self-destruction attack, she just felt it was a pity that she couldn't get the opponent's body.
When Hanajian Haruka was about to say something, there was movement in the sky. Four people, led by Tenzo, jumped off the back of Mo Niao.
"Did that guy commit suicide?" Tianzang asked.
"Yes, he committed suicide. However, you came too late, right? Moreover, after such a long time, he is still entangled with the enemy."
Hanami Haruka frowned, feeling very dissatisfied with the "paddling" of the Konoha people.
As latecomers, they all entered the battle directly. Before this, this group of Konoha guys were still engaged in a long tug-of-war with the enemy.
"We lack the means to directly attack him. In addition, he has always kept a distance from us, so it is difficult for us to attack him."
Tianzang spread his hands.
"Forget it, whatever the problem is with the One-Tail Jinchuuriki, it has nothing to do with us." Hanami Haruka put away his dissatisfaction and felt that he cared too much about this group of people, so he said this.
Sure enough, when Tianzang and others heard this sentence, their expressions changed.
Now that the enemy has been eliminated, the next step is to rescue Gaara.
Thinking of this, it was too late to continue to inquire about the welfare here, and the four people set out to leave again. "Ichibi is probably hopeless." Kirizhi said while looking in the direction in which the four Konoha people were leaving.
"It has nothing to do with us. The Fourth Kazekage behind us should be here by now, but this mission is coming to an end. Let's go over and have a look."
Hanami Haruka followed the trajectory of the four people in Konoha and chased after Kirizhi. ◎Scorpion already had sufficient understanding of the current situation.
You have failed. Having been pierced through your 'core', you will die soon.
"It seems that even the so-called eternity will fade away one day... Is my eternity finally over?"
This sentence seems to be asking others, and it also seems to be asking myself.
"Of course, how could we lose to a guy like you who tramples on other people's feelings indiscriminately!" Naruto came over and said solemnly.
"Emotions? It's a small and meaningless thing. What I want to do, this old woman is also doing. The so-called ninjas don't need emotions -"
boom!
Throwing his head to the side, Scorpion was interrupted before he could finish his words. There was no doubt that it was Naruto's fist that interrupted his words.
Naruto angrily rushed to Scorpion and stared into his emotionless eyes. Scorpion was silent for a moment and asked, "Are you angry?"
"Of course, why can you say such words with such a ruthless face? You want to join a terrorist organization and be hostile to your former companions and relatives!"
Naruto couldn't understand what Scorpion was doing.
"Companions... relatives... that happened a long time ago. And these words are quite ambiguous. The connection between people is just meat and meat. Things like emotions will make ninjas lose their ambition to fight. ——"
Bang! The fist hit again. Naruto stopped Scorpion from continuing.
"Shut up!"
"Your anger is of no use. I am just a puppet and will not feel pain. Furthermore, no matter how close people are, they will inevitably have swords against each other in the end. That's why Chiyo and I are——"
Bang! "Shut up!"
Naruto pushed Xia down to the ground, and the blade was still stabbed on Xia's heart, making him unable to move. Or perhaps Xia didn't even bother to think about moving. He just let Naruto's fist hit his face, constantly s attack.
As a result, Naruto's fists were covered with blood. He was still attacking, as if he was planning to use his fists to wake up the puppet Scorpion from his dream.
However, there was no movement on Scorpio's face.
No matter how powerful Naruto's fist was and how painful it was when it hit the person's face, Scorpion didn't feel anything.
"Human beings always like to do boring things. As a Jinchuuriki, overly emotional behavior will only put yourself in danger. I am just an unintentional puppet. Even if you hit me with your fist, what's the point? "
In Naruto's fist, Scorpion's words were unhurried and slow.
Perhaps because this was the last episode in his life, his mood completely calmed down.
Death will come sooner or later, so there is no need to be anxious or afraid, just wait quietly. "Nonsense, how can humans have no heart?" Naruto retorted. He couldn't stand Scorpion's condescension and trampling on human feelings. into the dust tone.
Human emotions are by no means something to be looked down upon.
"So, what if I, who was penetrated through the heart and still can't feel the pain, are all these things?"
Xie asked calmly.
That's right, even if the heart is penetrated, Scorpion can't feel "pain". What is the heart? The organ that allows him to move? Or is it an important component of the puppet that provides him with movement?
Besides, what is the heart? The heart... "Ahem!"
The sound of coughing made Naruto's face freeze, and the blood from Scorpion's mouth spurted onto his face. Chiyo was also startled, and looked at Scorpion who was spitting out blood with disbelief.
"Scorpion, you..."
Naruto was stunned for a moment, looking at Scorpion who was suppressed by him and coughing constantly. He immediately realized something, wiped the blood from his face, left his body, and allowed his breathing to be as smooth as possible. Some.
"What is this...my body...how can it..."
While Scorpion was coughing up blood, his face appeared humanistically distorted, and the muscles on his face were wrinkled together in pain.
Suffocation, pain, and all kinds of strange feelings made Scorpio widen his eyes in confusion.
Chiyo came to Scorpion's side and placed his palms on Scorpion's 'core' flesh, which was gently beating like the sound of a heart beating.
It's just that as the blood flows more and more, the beating feeling is very subtle, but it is indeed beating.
It's like a human heart beating.
"Damn... what does this feel like... why do I feel so uncomfortable... my body... is obviously already..."
This feeling is strange yet familiar.
It was as if everything he had lost had been found again one by one. It was pain. It was consciousness.
It is the desire for life. It is the feeling that only living people can exist. Why?
Why do you have it? Such a thing shouldn't exist.
I am an eternal doll. Scorpion wanted to tell himself loudly, but the suffocation and pain that emerged from his chest was so strong.
"Scorpion, has your body turned into a human again?"
The words Naruto guessed made Scorpion's eyes waver. He thought of something.
"Yin-Yang Dun... Injecting Yin-Yang Dun into the doll, is there still such a flaw? He actually gave my body to..."
Scorpion understood what was going on. Yin Yang Escape.
Giving life to invisible things is the art of creation out of nothing. The puppets that are infused with the power of yin and yang become alive.
"Hahaha……"
Scorpion opened his mouth wide to breathe, and let out a miserable laugh, as if he was mocking something. Then he coughed twice.
"I didn't expect that the 'eternity' that would last my whole life... actually before I died, Yin Yang Dun returned everything I had worked hard to pursue to its original place..."
This is really ironic.
"Is this a punishment for me? Sure enough, eternity...is something that does not exist? All the truths I have explored so far do not exist..."
Scorpion murmured to himself, looking at the sky, the self-mockery on his face becoming more and more obvious.
"Rather than punishment... I think it should give you time to repent. At least at the last moment, you will die as a human being with emotions, not a puppet who can't feel anything."
Naruto looked at Scorpion's struggling, annoyed, and even painful face, his eyes full of pity.
"Confession? Human being? Such boring words... How could I have such boring emotions?"
Not sure if he accepted Naruto's statement, Xia just laughed softly twice, still laughing sarcastically at himself.
"In the final analysis, I am actually very bored...the doll, eternity, went around in a circle and finally returned to its original place. In this case, at the end, I will also do some boring things..."
Scorpion's eyes returned to calmness. The breath in his chest also returned to stability, but he became weaker and weaker. "Nine-tailed brat."
Scorpion called to Naruto. Naruto looked over.
"You want to know about Orochimaru from me, for Uchiha Sasuke." Scorpion said what Naruto was thinking. "What do you know?"
Naruto asked impatiently.
Xie pursed his lips and said calmly: "As a reward for defeating me, I will tell you about Orochimaru... That was the news revealed by Orochimaru when I accidentally communicated with him a few months ago. Four more days later Moon...Orochimaru will perform reincarnation ninjutsu on Uchiha Sasuke and occupy Uchiha Sasuke's body."
"Four months..." Naruto suddenly clenched his fists.
"As for the location...according to what I have learned about Orochimaru over the years, you can go to the mountainous area at the junction of Tianno Country and Takino Country. Orochimaru will most likely have a secret base there to attack Uchiha Sasuke... Next ……hand……"
At the end of Scorpion's words, his voice became weaker and weaker, and gradually became silent. He slowly closed his eyes and lay there motionless.
Chiyo looked at Xie's sleeping face peacefully, and remembered that more than twenty years ago, he was the same way, sitting beside Xie's bed, quietly watching him sleep peacefully, waiting for him...
Falling into endless chaos.
It seemed like it was surrounded by cold and dark lake water, constantly squeezing towards Xion's body. In the end... nothing was done in the end. Xie sighed inwardly.
The so-called 'eternity' is nothing in the end. What is it that you are pursuing? Scorpio keeps thinking and questioning.
Immediately, a pair of hands were handed over to him, and Scorpion raised his head and looked to the left and right. The warm smiles of the man and woman appeared in his field of vision.
They stretched out their equally warm palms and stroked his hair. Is this me?
Scorpio looked down at his smaller palms, as if he had gone back to the past, the first moment when the concept of 'eternity' was born.
After that, the man and the woman looked back as if they were nostalgic, and then they ran out without hesitation, onto the frontline battlefield.
"Grandma, when will mom and dad come back?"
Looking at the kind-faced old man next to him, the boy asked innocently.
Touching the boy's hair, the old man's eyes were full of kindness and he looked into the distance: "Soon... they will be back soon, and then they will never leave your side..."
"Um."
The boy nodded heavily and stood on top of the sandstone, looking at the endless desert in front of him, waiting for his return on the battlefield.
No matter it is day, dusk or night, rainy weather or windy weather, the boy will wait as promised.
After waiting for a long time, one month, one year, two years, three years, until I graduated from the ninja school and became a ninja, my impression of the 'parents' that existed in my memory became increasingly blurred.
He only remembered that they had a pair of warm hands, soothing his loneliness and the coldness in his heart. "In the end...I still didn't expect anything..."
Scorpion felt that his consciousness was constantly sinking, falling towards the bottomless black hole.
