Simultaneous travel: invincible from the beginning of the anime!

Chapter 725 Deidara: I can destroy them all!

As is well known, Orochimaru's soul was inherently flawed due to the forbidden technique, the Reanimation Jutsu.

The Ten Perfect Sword can both cut through the soul and has sealing abilities, which means it completely counters the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique, leading many people to believe that the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique is very weak.

Seeing the enormous creature that suddenly appeared on the lake, not only regenerating despite being bombarded by the Four-Tails Naruto, but also able to unleash ninjutsu of various attributes, blasting Naruto away time and time again, Seiya showed an interested expression.

"Is this the so-called Eight-Headed Serpent Technique? I must say, someone who was once known as one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha was no pushover after all."

In Seiya's opinion, Orochimaru's Eight-Headed Serpent Technique, based on the strength it has demonstrated, should be comparable to Jiraiya's imperfect Sage Mode.

Of course, the Jiraiya Sage Mode mentioned here refers to his own, and does not include the Sage Mode of Fukasaku and Shima.

"It seems that the two of them will still have a fight before Naruto unleashes his Six-Tails powers. In that case, I'll go and greet the other two uninvited guests first."

Above the lake where the three tails were sealed, a strangely shaped white bird was flapping its wings high in the sky.

On the back of this large white bird were two ninjas dressed in black robes with red auspicious clouds.

One of them had his long, dark blonde hair tied into a topknot and covered one of his left eyes.

The other one had short black hair and wore an orange swirl mask.

"Senior Deidara, the fight down there is quite lively. I didn't expect that not only Konoha and Kirigakure ninjas have come, but even Orochimaru has gotten involved."

"Should we ask the organization for backup? There are so many of them, even the Mizukage is here. If the two of us go down to try and steal the Three-Tails, we'll probably get killed instantly!"

The short-haired ninja wearing a swirling mask was currently perched on the edge of the large white bird, peering down and speaking in a rather comical tone.

"Ah Fei, shut up! Even if someone gets beaten to death, it will be you who gets beaten to death."

So what if he's the Mizukage? I kidnapped the Kazekage before too. What good are more people? When I kidnapped the Kazekage, there were even more Sand Village ninjas watching me make my move.

Don't keep boosting others' morale while diminishing your own. Your mentality and abilities will lower the overall prestige of our Akatsuki organization.

Faced with Deidara's accusations, the newcomer named Tobi, seemingly oblivious to Deidara's increasingly unpleasant expression, continued to undermine him, saying, "But this time, the guys below are much stronger than the Sand Village ninjas."

Leaving aside the Mizukage, there's also the "Shikotsu Shura," who rivals the God of Shinobi, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and Konoha, who broke Deidara's arm last time..."

Before Afei could finish speaking, he was kicked over by an impatient Deidara.

Since Scorpion Old Song died, the organization has assigned him Ah Fei, a goofball, as his new partner.

Deidara finally experienced the impatience that Sasori had shown him.

Previously, they were an "artistic duo": Sasori of the Red Sand was taciturn, while Deidara was the chatterbox.

But after Afei formed a new group with him, Deidara finally understood what a real chatterbox was.

Moreover, it would be one thing if he were just a chatterbox, but Ah Fei is a complete goofball and an idiot. He speaks without thinking and always brings up the most sensitive topics.

In the past, Deidara and Sasori would argue, but at least it was a dispute over art. Although Deidara did not recognize Sasori's "eternal art," he at least acknowledged his strength and methods.

But when it came to Tobi, Deidara felt utterly exhausted. Even though he was the youngest member of Akatsuki, leading Tobi felt like leading a mentally challenged, overpowered child. Didn't Nanami say that Akatsuki operated on an elite model? Since when can someone with a screw loose become one of them?

"I've said it many times already. The reason I lost an arm last time was because I was careless. That Konoha ninja is nothing special."

I've met the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki before; he's just a brainless, hot-blooded idiot.

Orochimaru? He was defeated by Itachi Uchiha; he's nothing to fear either.

"But I heard that Deidara-senpai was also..."

Hearing that Tobi was trying to sabotage him again, Deidara spat out a clay spider from his palm and glared at him, saying, "Tobi, if you say another word, I'll shove this clay spider right into your mouth!"

"Hahaha, what I really mean is that Orochimaru, since he was defeated by Itachi-senpai, is even less of a match for Deidara-senpai."

After all, Deidara-senpai, you are younger and more talented than them!

Seeing that Tobi had decisively changed his tone in the face of his threat, Deidara's face showed a satisfied expression.

Although Ah Fei, that scoundrel, often spouts nonsense, he's at least flexible and adaptable.

If it were the old Scorpion, it would be impossible to get him to tell such a "truth" through threats.

"But Deidara-senpai, besides the Konoha ninjas and Orochimaru, I've heard that the 'Shikotsu Shura' from Kirigakure is also quite strong."

When Kisame and Itachi went to Konoha to gather information, they encountered him and the Fifth Mizukage.

According to Itachi and the others, Kaguya Seiya is much stronger than the Mizukage. If they hadn't been lucky, they might not have made it back..."

Deidara naturally remembered the "corpse-bone demon" that Afei mentioned.

After all, like Orochimaru, Deidara was once defeated by Itachi Uchiha, and that defeat made him, who considered himself a genius, always regard Itachi Uchiha as his imaginary enemy.

His left eye, which was covered by his hair, was something he had been training specifically to resist Itachi's genjutsu.

When Deidara first heard that Itachi Uchiha and Kisame were defeated by Seiya and his group on their way to Konoha, he was very curious about what kind of person Kaguya Seiya, who was able to defeat Itachi Uchiha.

"Kaguya Seiya? That's perfect! Defeating him will prove that I'm stronger than Uchiha Itachi!"

And Ah Fei... From the very beginning, have you been excluding yourself from the discussion?
Our Akatsuki organization doesn't have any newbie protection period, so don't expect me to protect you forever.

If we end up fighting over the Tailed Beasts and you get killed, it'll just be because you're too weak. And then I can find a new partner. I've had enough of your personality."

"No, Deidara-senpai, I..."

"In that case, why don't you switch sides and come work for our Hidden Mist Village, and let me be your partner?"

After all, I've heard about your explosive art for a long time, and I quite admire and appreciate it.
