Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 223 Clay Bomb

"Earth Escape - Flying Gravel"

Earth Release: Multiple Rock Cannons

While still in the air, the Iwa ninja who had just withstood a round of attacks from Toshiro and his group were not idle and launched their own attacks one by one.

At this moment, they were still thirty or forty meters away from Toshiro and his group, and they were using a long-range ninjutsu attack with the characteristics of Iwagakure, aiming at the birds under Toshiro and his group.

Unlike the Iwa ninja who successfully flew in the sky using their own ninjutsu, Toshiro and his companions would have to find other ways to fly if they lost these birds.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique

Faced with the ranged attacks from the Iwa ninja, Toshiro and his group unanimously used this ninjutsu, which had no combat record in the original work.

The rocks that were heading straight for Toshiro and his group were swallowed by the orange-red fireballs, which were seven or eight meters in diameter, and they lost most of their impact force.

Before they had flown more than a few meters, several kunai were stuck into the rocks. As the explosive tags on the kunai hissed, a series of explosions shattered the rocks that were heading towards Toshiro and the others.

The flying rocks not only caused trouble for Toshiro and his group, making them scramble to their feet, but even the Iwa ninja on the opposite side were all scrambling to avoid them.

These rocks won't be harmless to them just because they were converted from their chakra.

Just as Toshiro and the Iwa ninja were intercepting the flying rocks, the two who had previously wrapped themselves and their companions in a huge stone sphere appeared.

They approached Toshiro and his group's location.

Thanks to the thick stone walls, they not only withstood Toshiro and his group's previous fire-style ninjutsu, but they also ignored the flying rocks.

Moreover, as they approached Toshiro and his companions, a considerable number of white creatures emerged from the surface of this enormous stone sphere.

"Holy crap! Is this some kind of explosive clay?!"

Upon seeing these small white things, Toshiro's heart immediately went into overdrive.

How could he not pay attention to the explosive clay used by "Deidara"?

As far as he knew, the entire Iwagakure demolition squad didn't have a ninja like Deidara. Although they had explosive clay, these Iwagakure demolition ninjas were nowhere near Deidara's level.

There isn't even anyone who can build a flying C2 dragon, which is why he dares to carry out aerial bombing.

"Morning Glow! With a Thousand Birds!"

Even though these explosive ninjas weren't as good as Deidara, Toshiro didn't dare to underestimate them in the slightest. He loudly reminded his companions to be wary of these explosive devices.

brush!brush!brush!

Before these little creatures could even leap off the giant stone sphere, a row of slender, blue-glowing needles pinned them to it.

This Iwagakure ninja, while not quite at Deidara's level, can still create clay artifacts that can traverse through soil and rock and glide for distances.

"Morning Glow! Watch out for their exploding clay!"

Fortunately, he had plagiarized the Chidori ninjutsu and copied all the variations developed by Sasuke.

While congratulating himself on his plagiarism, Toshiro controlled the birds beneath the group, directing them to fly away into the distance.

He tried to get rid of the entanglement of these Iwa ninja.

They were at a significant disadvantage fighting the Iwa ninja in the air. The birds they had drawn beneath them resembled shadow clones; if they were injured, they would turn into a blob of ink.

While fighting, these people also had to carefully protect their mounts, making it difficult to manage both tasks simultaneously.

Just as Toshiro was preparing to retreat with his companions, he seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around to look at the huge stone sphere that was floating less than 20 meters away from them.

Although he sensed something, his Sharingan didn't have the X-ray vision of the Byakugan, so he didn't notice the changes on the back of the stone sphere.

The two Iwa ninjas who had just wrapped themselves in stone spheres now appeared on the outside of the stone spheres.

With a gentle push, the stone ball was propelled towards the direction where Toshiro and the others were. Then, using the reaction force, the two flew towards the location of their companion.

"I was careless!"

Seeing the stone ball heading straight for them, Toshiro realized something, but it was too late.

He could only turn around and say to his companion, "Be careful."

Then, unleashing his full power, he created a giant senbon less than a meter long and thrust it towards the giant stone sphere.

However, all of this was in vain.

"drink!"

A loud shout came from afar.

Rumble!

With that shout, the entire stone sphere began to explode violently.

Along with the explosion, countless fragments of stone shattered and flew everywhere, scattering across the sky due to the violent blast.

Faced with such a large number of flying stones, Toshiro and his companions were completely helpless. The opponent's method was simply too simple and brutal.

They would draw the attention of the Iwa ninja in the distance, luring them into using their ninjutsu. While keeping them distracted, they would cover the Iwa ninja who appeared to be preparing to withstand their attacks as he approached.

Once they got close enough, they detonated the giant stone sphere, causing the flying rocks to destroy the birds beneath them.

"Damn! I never expected these Iwa ninja, who all look so clueless, to have such a sensitive side!"

In mid-air, having failed to stop the opponent's ninjutsu from being activated, Toshiro could only do his best to protect himself.

As for the birds beneath him, he could no longer care about them!

The flying birds created by the Super Beast Imitation Painting had wingspans of about seven or eight meters each, and they were meant to carry the group.

He was utterly helpless in the face of the flying debris. Not only him, but his companions, who were also in pairs, were all in dire straits at this moment.

It was too late to use ninjutsu to block the flying stones, so they could only throw their kunai, shuriken, and other throwing weapons.

Hopefully, this will be of some use.

However, they didn't have many weapons in their ninja tool kits, and there were just too many flying stones.

Even if all of them activated their Sharingan, it wouldn't make a difference.

The birds beneath him turned into clumps of ink!
