Naruto: From Novice to Grave

Chapter 324 - Great Battle Ten: Xiaotian Group Announces Disbandment

Deidara suddenly stood up, ripped off his tattered clothes, and let out a maniacal laugh: "Ha~, Sharingan bastard, regret not killing me on the spot."

Let me show you what true ultimate art is. Now, I'm going to self-destruct. After I die, I will become art.

The unprecedented explosion will leave an astonishing mark on this land, and my art will receive unprecedented praise.

Everyone: What's wrong with this guy?

Deidara's performance continued: "The blast radius is ten kilometers. None of you can escape it, including the coalition forces outside."

You, amidst trembling, astonishment, and despair, ascend with my art, which is simply: Drink! Eight duck-sized skewers!

Everyone: "————"

Nothing happened; the silence was tinged with awkwardness.

Deidara suddenly realized that his tattered clothes were still on his body. He reached out and pulled them open, and found that the stitches on his left chest, which had been altered to fit his mouth, were still intact.

He reached into his ninja tool pouch with both hands, but it was empty. The special clay he had saved as a last resort had been taken away sometime earlier.

Deidara glared at Sasuke, angrily demanding, "You bastard, you did this, didn't you? It was a genjutsu! When did you use a genjutsu on me?"

Sasuke replied calmly, "When did you come to the conclusion that I didn't sense you using genjutsu?"

Deidara: "————"

So I just acted like a lunatic? Didn't any of you remind me? Did you think we were watching a play?

Damn Sharingan, damn genjutsu! If he gets the chance, he'll definitely train harder to counter genjutsu.

Since Deidara in this world wasn't completely overwhelmed by Itachi's genjutsu, he naturally didn't prepare any countermeasures.

Even if you prepare, it's useless; that method is ineffective against kaleidoscope illusions.

Heitu felt like he'd fed a dog with his good intentions: "You just said the blast radius was ten kilometers, right? Don't you know I'm here? Are you trying to kill me too?"

Deidara: "————"

You're not as fun as art. If I don't get rid of you, how can the old man truly appreciate my art?

"asshole!"

Kurotsuchi was truly disappointed this time. She stepped forward and punched Deidara hard on the head, giving him a sleep like a baby.

Naruto stepped forward, formed a few hand seals, and then struck Deidara with a palm strike.

"I sealed his chakra. Without Konoha's help to unseal it, he won't be able to use any ninjutsu again."

Sakura: "He's a dangerous guy. If he succeeds in self-destructing, we'll be in danger."

Sasuke pulled a large lump of clay from his bag, a flash of electricity appeared on his hand, and then he threw it away.

Do you think he has a chance?

Sakura glanced at the heartbroken Kurotsuchi: "Luckily, my Sasuke is a normal person, unlike that lunatic."

Sasuke: "————"

You know perfectly well that he's a lunatic, so why do you still compare him to me?

Also, I am not yours!

How can you say such things in front of everyone? Don't I have any dignity?

It has been proven that the Akatsuki's management team needs to strengthen its cohesion.

Obito and Zetsu are ostensibly employees, but they are actually sent by the holding company to monitor the project's progress.

Kakuzu is a specialist who only wants to make money, while Hidan uses the company's platform to achieve his religion's KPIs.

Kisame is a member of the holding company, and he prioritizes the interests of the holding company above all else.

Orochimaru joined the company to research its most advanced weapon, while also starting his own business and having an ambiguous relationship with one of the world's top five conglomerates.

In the end, only Sasori and Deidara were truly dedicated to the company.

One is a homeless but desperately seeking recognition artist, and the other is a fanatical artist whose personal interests align with the initial direction and interests of his company.

He is a model employee in the ninja world.

In contrast to them, the members of the other two teams showed absolutely no loyalty to the company.

In the northeast direction, Kisame and Orochimaru made a brief appearance before the Allied Forces, unleashed a few ninjutsu techniques, and then disappeared without a trace.

They quietly observed the situation from a distance, having no intention of fighting the Allied Forces to the death, and watched helplessly as the lower-level members of the White Zealot Legion were wiped out by the Allied Forces.

Kisame: "Oh dear, it seems the organization's army is finished. Seriously, are we just going to leave them like this?"

Orochimaru: "You can go and help. I look forward to your performance."

"Why don't we contribute our efforts? Otherwise, if the leader succeeds, it will be difficult to explain ourselves."

"He has never truly understood Konoha as it is now; he will not succeed."

"Oh? Mr. Orochimaru, you seem to have a lot of faith in Konoha. Have you always been one of their people?"

"And you, Kisame, the Madara you serve is actually Obito. It seems the real Madara no longer needs you. So, what is your choice now?"

Kisame: "————"

That's really messed up, because he himself doesn't know it.

He once served the perfect world depicted by Madara Uchiha, and he wanted to live in a world without betrayal where people could give their hearts to each other.

But Madara is a fake; he's Obito, working for the real Madara. And now, Madara has returned to this world as a dead man, trying to take control of everything.

Behind Akatsuki is Obito, and behind Obito is Madara.

Kisame's past experience as a ninja told him that this was too much of a conspiracy. The more complex the intricacies, the less pleasant the final outcome would be. The so-called perfect world was more like a beautiful illusion draped over a conspiracy.

This has left him feeling very confused.

The people supporting this side are the Tenten Squad and the young up-and-coming talents from the Hidden Mist Village.

As a result, the core members of the Akatsuki organization did not engage in fierce fighting with the Allied Forces.

Regardless, the mission had to continue, and the two who were watching the commotion from a distance were spotted by Neji's Byakugan from an extremely long distance.

Kisame and Orochimaru were not surprised to be surrounded; they simply watched with interest the new generation of the support team and Zabuza Momochi, who was leading a few elite subordinates.

Zabuza is the commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces' combat unit here, and his subordinates include people from various ninja villages.

It has to be said that seeing the five great ninja villages able to unite for a mission and seem to have a good relationship with each other, Kisame was quite moved.

In an instant, three of the seven famous swords that had once been hidden in the mist gathered here.

Samehada is in Kisame's hands, Chojuro is the user of Hiramekarei, and as for the Kubikiribōchō, it now belongs to Hozuki Suigetsu.

This guy is a huge fan of Zabuza. After Zabuza returned to Kirigakure, he gave his weapon to this junior.

Suigetsu: "Huh? Isn't this our Kisame-senpai, the eccentric from Kirigakure? Could you please give me back Samehada?"

Kisame ignored the arrogant little guy from the Hozuki clan and looked at another demon: "It's Zabuza. It's been a long time. It seems you've been doing quite well since you returned to the village."

Zabuza: "Under the Fifth Hokage's rule, the village has returned to normal. If you are willing to turn back now, the Mizukage and I can help you get rid of your troubles."

Kisame: "Is that so? That's a very tempting offer, but alas, I've already given up on that place."

Mizuki: "Why waste words with him? Let's get Samehada back first."

The two sides couldn't agree on anything, and a fight broke out instantly.

The people of Kirigakure fought Kisame, and Tenten and a few others fought Orochimaru, but everyone was just going through the motions.

Seeing Konoha's current strength, Zabuza wants to bring Kisame, a powerful fighter, back with him. Meanwhile, Tenten and her two friends know that Orochimaru and their teacher have been in contact.

So after a fight, the two were successfully cut into pieces.

It's just that water is a separate entity and earth is a separate entity.

The two old men had already run away.

Compared to the loyal Sasori and Deidara, and the uninterested Kisame and Orochimaru who had already slipped away, Kakuzu and Hidan were the ones who really brought trouble upon themselves and courted their own demise.

They could have escaped in the chaos, but their professional instincts kicked in, and Kakuzu wanted to take the opportunity to behead a few famous ninjas to fill his own coffers.

Hidan's situation was simpler. He was only focused on sacrificing a few souls to his evil god Sando, and then he was surrounded by Shikamaru's team and Sai's team, along with some elite combat troops.

Death Possession Blood is a very insidious one-on-one assassination ninjutsu. It is extremely effective at killing on first sight, but it is really not suitable for team battles.

Hidan's strength was limited, and he was directly surrounded and torn apart. Even if he got his blood, it would be useless. His slow sacrificial ritual was enough to make people chop him into mincemeat before he could even use his ninjutsu.

Kakuzu tried to run away when he saw that things were not going well, but he was controlled to death by the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and Yakumo Kurama's five senses.

The five-hearted monster was successively defeated by Sai, Shin, and Choji, and gloriously exited the game.

Thus, the Xiaotian Group became history; some members ran away, some died, and one was taken prisoner.

Even Konan was sent away by Nagato, who was going to carry out Yahiko's ideal alone with the Ten-Tails.
