Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Deidara put the clay in his mouth and chewed it, then clasped his hands together as if preparing to unleash a powerful attack.

A moment later, a huge white clay dragon appeared behind Deidara and Tobi.

This dragon is ugly; it doesn't have the physical feel of a dragon. It looks like a clay doll-like dragon.

Its torso is wrapped in segmented rings, its broad dragon wings are spread out on its sides, its limbs are thick, and its claws and toes are spread out.

"It's here!"

Afei exclaimed cheerfully, "This is one of the senior's most accomplished art forms—C2·Dragon!"

Sasuke looked at Deidara and analyzed his ability: "This guy's ability is to create explosives with his palms?"

Deidara leaped onto the dragon's back, shouting to Tobi, "Tobi, you know what's going on!"

Afei nodded: "Understood, senior!"

Deidara's Clay Dragon spat out many white clay balls that looked like Poké Balls, which piled up next to Tobi.

This is a clay landmine.

Tobi is skilled in earth-based techniques, and Deidara wants Tobi to help him plant landmines; this is a tactic they've devised.

Deidara did not ignore Afei.

The clay dragon launches a clay explosion attack from the air, while landmines are buried on the ground; this is an air-to-ground strike.

"Ah Fei, please help me!"

"It's my honor to be able to help my senior!"

Afei took Deidara's clay landmines to bury them.

Sasuke charged forward, and Deidara's clay dragon soared into the sky, its mouth opening as it unleashed a series of explosives at Sasuke.

Before long, Sasuke was forced to reveal his true form—Sasuke's second state.

His skin had turned leaden gray all over, a black cross pattern ran down the middle of his nose, his lips were purple, his pupils were pitch black, and his expression carried a hint of coldness and ferocity.

The most significant change is the addition of a pair of large, gray-black fleshy wings on its back, resembling a pair of open palms.

Afei's head popped out of the ground and he reported to Deidara, "Senior, the clay mines have all been planted!"

Deidara nodded: "Afei, well done. Stay away!"

At the crucial moment, Deidara still took care of Fei like a senior, keeping him away from the battlefield.

The sky was filled with explosives spewed out by Deidara's clay dragon, and the ground was littered with clay landmines buried by Tobi.

The battle environment has begun to shift in Deidara's favor.

In the woods, Afei stood on a tree branch.

Behind the mask, a crimson glint appeared in Obito's eyes as he quietly observed Sasuke's response.

"What will you do, Sasuke?"

Tobi pleaded with Deidara, "Obito, could you please save Deidara-senpai later?"

"..."

Obito didn't say anything; Deidara was simply not good enough for him.

Deidara is probably one of the easier people to get along with in the Akatsuki!

It shows the care of seniors for juniors, and its ideology is not inclined towards peace.

Instead, it's chaos!

Before joining the Akatsuki organization, he carried out terrorist bombing attacks in various places.

However, the Akatsuki organization, which has declared war on the five great ninja nations, is also to his liking at this stage.

It can explode at will.

Deidara was a very good henchman; he had no political ideology, and Nagato trusted him completely.

But he already bears Nagato's marks, which would be useful if Obito and Nagato broke off their relationship.

Deidara will most likely help Nagato.

So they decided to use Deidara as a sacrifice to test Sasuke's strength.

Faced with the explosions spewed out by the clay dragons in the air, and the clay landmines buried on the ground.

Sasuke's response was aerial combat; his Cursed Seal 2 allowed him to briefly take to the air.

"Idiot, don't even think about flying!"

Deidara stopped Sasuke from flying into the sky, and the clay dragon beneath his feet spat out a huge explosive, which looked like a fat pig with wings.

The explosive device detonated on the ground, and the area within a radius of 100 meters was engulfed in the shockwave.

After the explosion, half of Sasuke's wing was blown off.

Sasuke doesn't have the Mangekyou Sharingan yet, so he's having some trouble dealing with the explosive maniac Deidara.

However, he still played with great ease.

Sasuke flew into the sky, while Deidara was hit by the giant shuriken and fell off the clay dragon, landing right on the landmines that Tobi had buried.

Then came a series of explosions.

However, at the moment of the explosion, Deidara created a clay eagle, rode on it, and dodged his own clay landmine.

However, his Akatsuki trench coat had been blown off, revealing a sleeveless black tight-fitting top and bare skin covered in wounds.

He looked rather disheveled.

It was even more dangerous because Deidara's Akatsuki trench coat had been blown up.

Sasuke has lost his second form and is suffering from the side effects of the cursed seal, but Deidara is not in good condition either.

However, Sasuke still maintained his arrogant Uchiha demeanor, staring at Deidara with the three tomoe of his Sharingan.

Even though Sasuke was below, looking up at Deidara, Deidara saw contempt in that gaze, a denial of his proudest art.

Just like Itachi did before, without saying a word, he arrogantly denied other people's art by revealing his Sharingan.

"That look again! That arrogant look again!"

Deidara's expression was somewhat out of control. He hated the arrogance of the Uchiha clan, and his anger exploded in his chest like molten lava.

He was consumed by the urge to destroy everything!

Deidara took clay out of his ninja tool bag, and this time he used the mouth on his head instead of the mouth on his hands to make explosives.

He ate the clay and spat out a lot of clay, and soon created a giant clay Deidara that was more than ten meters tall.

This is C4·Golden-winged Bird, also known as Garuda.

This was originally a ninjutsu invented by Deidara to kill Itachi. After eating a lump of explosive clay, he could create a giant puppet.

The doll's body contains clay spiders invisible to the naked eye. Once the doll explodes, these clay spiders will be scattered into the air.

Within a certain range, inhaling clay spiders is equivalent to having a bomb planted inside a person's body, ultimately resulting in the destruction of the entire body from the inside out by countless small explosions.

The giant Deidara doll exploded in mid-air, but it didn't explode into the massive explosion Sasuke had imagined.

Sasuke was surprised, but his Sharingan detected the color of the chakra and saw many spider-shaped chakras spreading in the air.

He immediately deduced that Deidara's move was a miniature bomb.

Sasuke quickly devised a strategy: the first rule in fighting the Uchiha clan was to never make eye contact with them.

Deidara's left eye, the technologically advanced eye he modified specifically to counter illusions, is now unable to open due to the recent explosion.

Therefore, Sasuke was able to use genjutsu on him.

In the instant their eyes met, Sasuke cast a genjutsu on Deidara, making Deidara mistakenly believe that his miniature clay spider had covered Sasuke.

Sasuke was covered by a large number of tiny clay spiders, and in the end, they were all wiped out.

Deidara laughed heartily: "This is the best masterpiece ever!"

"I don't think so!"

In his second form, Sasuke appeared behind Deidara, and his left hand's Chidori pierced Deidara's chest from behind.
