Chapter 726 Fierce Battle Against the Comedy Duo!
"It's a space-time ninjutsu!"

When Tobi, who was usually a goofy person, saw Seiya appear on the back of the clay bird without warning, his eye, which was visible through his mask, was filled with surprise.

There are countless ninjutsu techniques in the ninja world, but space-time ninjutsu can be said to be the most difficult and rarest type of ninjutsu.

He had specifically gathered information about Kaguya Seiya after his battle with Uchiha Itachi.

However, according to the intelligence he gathered, apart from Kaguya Seiya's enormous chakra reserves, the Kaguya clan's Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse), and powerful barrier techniques, he had never heard of him using space-time ninjutsu!

"Oh, you've heard of my art?"

Compared to Tobi, who was shocked that Seiya also possessed space-time ninjutsu, Deidara was more concerned about what Seiya had just said.

"Of course I've heard that art is Patrick Star... oh no, I mean art is an explosion."

Deidara, a rogue ninja from Iwagakure, was a disciple of the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki. He used a bloodline limit that is suspected to be Explosion Release and was a renowned genius in the ninja world.

"Whether it's talent or strength, among the ninja geniuses I know, you're almost certainly in the top five."

Was Deidara a genius? There is absolutely no doubt about that, after all, he was able to secure a place in the Akatsuki organization, which was almost entirely composed of monsters, at the age of less than twenty.

Even Pain, the Deva Path, felt sorry for Deidara after learning of his self-destruction.

Deidara didn't have many defeats. He lost to Itachi Uchiha because of Itachi's bloodline limit, and he lost to Sasuke because he was countered by lightning release.

Leaving aside those protagonists with special abilities like reincarnated Ashura or Indra, Deidara, at only a few years older than Naruto and his friends, was already considered a super genius for being able to fight tailed beasts or Jinchuriki one-on-one.

"I didn't expect you, a Hidden Mist ninja, to have such good taste."

Everyone likes to hear nice things, especially since Deidara is not yet twenty years old and is at the age of being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur). Now that Seiya has showered him with compliments, a smug look immediately appears on his face.

"Senior Deidara, he's an enemy! We can't be fooled by his sweet talk!"

Seiya's presence here clearly indicates ill intent; in the past, there were only a handful of people in the ninja world who could use space-time ninjutsu.

The Second and Fourth Hokage, who were skilled in the Flying Thunder God Technique, are dead. Now, only Obito Uchiha, who goes by the alias "Tobi," remains in the ninja world.

It was also thanks to his "divine power" that Obito Uchiha was able to show off and roam around everywhere all these years.

Unexpectedly, another Kaguya Seiya, whose background is unknown, has appeared, which makes Tobi's gaze towards Seiya filled with solemnity.

"Ah Fei, shut up! Do you think I don't know whether he's just using sweet talk or not?"
Do you think he's wrong, that my art isn't impressive enough? Or do you think I'm not the genius ninja he's talking about?

Afei: (_;) I don't know if you're a genius, but after all that flattery, you're obviously getting too big for your britches.

The people Payne hired were indeed quite capable, but unfortunately, they weren't very bright.

Of course, although he held Deidara in contempt, Tobi dared not refute him at the moment.

"There is no doubt that Deidara is a genius ninja, but just because he praised you a few times, you can't forget that he is our enemy, can you?"

"Didn't Deidara-senpai just tell me, a newbie, to be more composed?"

Upon hearing the newbie's reminder from Fei, Deidara immediately crossed his arms and adopted the posture of a mature senior.

"Hmm, what you said makes a lot of sense. Your name is Kaguya Seiya, right? Considering that you understand my art, I'll give you a chance to leave now."

Our target is the three-tailed beast below. As long as you don't get in our way, I can let you leave alive.

Given Deidara's past behavior, now that the enemy is so close, he'll definitely have to fight them.

However, Seiya was able to understand his art and speak quite pleasingly.

In all these years, Deidara has never met such a like-minded person. It would be a real shame if he were to kill him like this.

Anyway, the only order the leader gave them was to capture the tailed beasts. As for whether or not to kill Kaguya Seiya, it doesn't seem to be very important, right?

"That's a real shame. Our Mizukage of Kirigakure has already decided to become the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, so it's impossible for the Three-Tails Isobu to be given to you."

Although I admire your art, since we have different perspectives, let's still have a competition!

As Seiya finished speaking, his body vanished from the airspace in front of Deidara and the others without warning.

When Deidara and Tobi realized the danger, Seiya, who had disappeared in front of them earlier, reappeared behind them!
"Another space-time ninjutsu?"

"No, it's just that he's too fast, faster than the naked eye can perceive!"

Deidara's eyes could hardly capture Seiya's movement, but Tobi's Sharingan had seen it very clearly.

Almost the instant Seiya set off, visible lightning erupted from his body, accelerating him in a short span of time. His speed was so great that people thought he had used a space-time ninjutsu like the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Ding------!"

Just as the blade was about to slash at Deidara's neck, Tobi instantly used space-time ninjutsu to appear behind him and swung an iron chain to block Seiya's attack.

Almost at the same time that Tobi blocked the slash for Deidara, Deidara realized just how terrifying Seiya's physical skills were, known as "Shikotsu Shura"!
If it weren't for Tobi's timely intervention, Deidara was confident he could have dodged that attack, but he would have at least lost an arm!
"Ah Fei, jump!"

At Deidara's prompting, Tobi decisively followed Deidara and jumped off the clay bird.

Seeing the two jump off the clay bird, Seiya originally wanted to follow closely behind, but was suddenly grabbed tightly by the claws of the clay bird!

"drink------!"

Deidara jumped off the clay bird, reached one hand into his clay backpack, and made a hand seal with the other, detonating the clay bird in the air.

"boom------!"

Its claws gripped Seiya's clay bird, and its body began to expand rapidly, bursting forth with intense light and heat in an instant.

With a loud explosion echoing through the sky, Deidara's other hand, which had been inside his clay backpack, chewed for a while before spitting out a clay dragon-shaped object.

"C2 Dragon!"

The originally tiny dragon, after escaping Deidara's palm, transformed into a giant clay dragon more than ten meters long in an instant, accompanied by a cloud of white mist, and caught Deidara and Tobi as they fell from the sky.

"It's C2: Dragon! I didn't expect Deidara-senpai to use this move right from the start. It seems this 'Corpse Bone Shura' put a lot of pressure on him!"
