Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 486 The Appearance of the Heavenly Dao

"Wood Release: Great Forest Technique"

After Itachi Uchiha tested the waters, another ANBU member also used his ninjutsu.

His first move was the renowned Wood Release technique.

This member of the Anbu was Orochimaru's test subject, Kakashi's teammate Tenzo, also known as Yamato.

"It's... Wood Release."

As Yamato's entire arm transformed into brown trees, stretching and extending before dispersing into wooden spikes that pierced the target, Deidara was slightly surprised.

However, he was only surprised for a short while.

"drink!"

With a loud shout, the exploding birds flying at the forefront transformed into clusters of orange-red fire shadows, completely destroying Yamato's Wood Release technique.

"Hahaha! So-called Wood Release is nothing special; it's just as vulnerable in the face of art."

After the explosion, the clay birds ahead created a large gap, and the remaining two-winged birds rushed through the gap to continue swooping towards the position of the Mountain Eagle.

"You are now within my firing range. At this distance, my explosion will be the most perfect art."

Toshiro didn't take Deidara's somewhat frantic shouting too seriously, and instead looked up at the top of his head.

There, a huge white 'doll' was falling towards him and the mountain eagle.

"Did you find it... It's no use. Even if you did find it, the power of C3·18 is enough to blow you to ashes."

"At that time, the most dazzling fireworks will burst in the sky, and people will marvel at the greatness of my art!"

It turns out that the Deidara following behind Zuo Shandiao was just an avatar. His real body was currently high in the sky, throwing the explosives he had carefully prepared at Zuo Shandiao.

"Hokage-sama... there's no escaping it now!"

Itachi frowned, but his face remained calm and composed.

Deidara's clone, the twin-winged bird, was primarily designed to confine the flight path of Zuo Shandiao within a specific area.

His true form used a large bomb to blast Toshiro and the Mountain Eagle away.

If they turn around and retreat, these fast-moving clay birds will block their path again.

It's a very simple tactic, but it works very well in surprise attacks.

"It's alright, they're just a few duds~"

Seeing the explosive doll high in the sky that the Sand Village was struggling to deal with, and the two-winged birds behind it, Toshiro curled his lip.

So this guy wasn't just good at self-destruction after all.

He waved his hand.

With a series of squeaking sounds, a large swath of bright white sensu splashed towards the birds behind them and the dolls in the sky.

"You bastard..."

Deidara's heart skipped a beat when he saw Toshiro unleash those lightning release senbon needles.

Hearing the other party mention a 'dud' almost made him explode on the spot.

"drink!"

He roared again and saw that the birds of prey, which were gradually getting out of control, and the giant 'doll' in the sky, had indeed not exploded.

Deidara was in a bad mood.

"My art isn't a dud!"

"I'll definitely show you what real art is!"

Although it was just a clone used to attract attention, this clone still maintained Deidara's lofty belief in art.

He took a handful of white explosive clay from his bag and took a bite.

"This guy... he's always self-destructing, it's really speechless~"

Toshiro hadn't expected that just a clone would be so easily provoked.

He had only made a casual sarcastic remark, and now he was about to self-destruct.

"It's a little far away."

Looking at Deidara, who was about four or five hundred meters away from them and preparing to self-destruct, Toshiro frowned.

Even Chidori Senbon isn't omnipotent; if this guy were to self-destruct, he would definitely make some defensive preparations beforehand.

I imagine he could self-destruct next to Zuo Shandiao.

brush!

The Kusanagi sword, which Toshiro always carried at his waist as an ornament.

As Toshiro moved, it transformed into a bolt of lightning faintly glowing white, flying towards Deidara's direction.

"Haha! You think I can't dodge an attack like that?"

Upon seeing this, Deidara burst into laughter.

He dodged the obvious attack without feeling much pressure.

Glug!

The explosive clay in his mouth, after being chewed, had been fully mixed with his chakra, and he swallowed it in one gulp.

Deidara casually tossed out a small white bird with two wings, heading towards Kusanagi Sword.

Next, with just a gentle shout, the seemingly exceptionally sharp longsword would be blasted away.

Then, with the cooperation of the main body, you need to rush to the opponent's side and then self-destruct.

As for his weaknesses, he is not like those explosives under his control. As long as he is not hit head-on by lightning, he is not in much trouble.

"This distance..."

Just as he was about to shout and detonate the bird, a flash of lightning caught his eye.

Furthermore, this lightning bolt, which he found extremely dazzling, was about to weaken due to the distance after crossing a distance of two or three hundred meters.

The bolt of lightning struck the longsword that Toshiro had thrown out.

Then, Lei Guang, who was about to be exhausted, became like a man possessed as soon as he came into contact with the longsword.

It flashed with a blinding blue light and attacked in his direction.

"It's even possible to... use a longsword as a relay station to increase..."

He originally wanted to increase the attack range of the Lightning Release ninjutsu, but unfortunately, he had already been hit by Toshiro's Lightning Release.

It turned into a milky white clay sculpture.

brush!

After Deidara's clone was directly defeated by Toshiro.

The Kusanagi sword that he had thrown out was like a nimble bird.

With a spin in the air, it transformed into a dazzling sword light once more, flying back into Toshiro's hand.

"A Snake-kun production, truly a masterpiece!"

Stroking the hilt of the longsword in his hand, Toshiro couldn't help but sigh, "The stuff Orochimaru has is really something."

Although it's not very helpful to me right now, it's still quite nice to have some fun occasionally.

He hadn't forgotten that this Kusanagi sword had a very unique characteristic.

It is possible to remotely control the Kusanagi Sword through thought, or mental power.

As an Uchiha, and one who had awakened the Eternal Eye, his mental strength was comparable to Orochimaru's.

To say it's like comparing heaven and earth is a bit of an exaggeration, but it's an undeniable fact that my mental strength has made a qualitative leap compared to theirs.

This gave the Kusanagi sword many new variations in his hands.

In particular, his mental manipulation allowed him to truly experience what it's like to be a sword immortal.

While it may not offer the thrill of taking down an enemy from a thousand miles away in an instant, it's still possible to control an enemy within a kilometer or two with ease.

There was no flying on a sword...

Um... maybe we could try combining it with Light and Heavy Rock Technique?

In his mind, he imagined himself wearing a divine robe and a Hokage hat, then using the Light-Heavy Rock Technique to stand on the Kusanagi Sword.

If you think the speed isn't fast enough, you can use the Flame Fan to increase the speed...

Shake your head and shut out the image in your mind.

Toshiro looked up at the distant clouds, then lowered his gaze downwards.

"Phew~"

"This guy... he really lives up to his title of Hokage!"

Deidara himself exhaled heavily from the clouds above Toshiro's head.

He was the first among his companions to arrive, but he never expected that the Hokage would recognize the weakness of his ninjutsu in just one glance.

Moreover, just looking at him from afar gave me a feeling of being on high alert... He really is a guy even more terrifying than the old man.

"Damn it, even if he's the Hokage, he dares to laugh at my art as a dud, I'll teach him a lesson!"

On a distant mountain peak, as Deidara attacked Toshiro.

"Ninja Art: Summoning Technique"

Nagato, who was hiding in the tree hole, saw that Toshiro had appeared, and immediately formed hand seals to summon one of Pain to his side.

For safety reasons, Nagato did not summon all six Paths of Pain to his side directly.

It only summoned the animal realm.

Once the animal realm had carefully moved into the shielding barrier it had prepared beforehand, it was the animal realm that used the spirit communication technique again.

Summon all of Payne.

Among them, Pain, who is thin, with black rods stuck in his body, looked up and gazed at the sky.

"That brat Deidara is really too young~"

Seeing that Deidara's ninjutsu had already found a weakness, Pain was somewhat surprised, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Forget it, I'll just have to do it myself."

Deidara had only been a member of the organization for a short time, and his ninjutsu was quite useful; they couldn't let him die in vain.

This guy's abilities are of great value to the organization.

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange breeze blew through the shielding barrier, causing the hem of Yahiko's red cloud robe to flutter.

As for the Heavenly Dao, with the surge of its own chakra and the use of its unique abilities, it slowly began to rise into the sky.

The power of Heaven is to manipulate gravity and repulsion. Rather than flying, it is more like using one's own power to float in the air, without any sense of flying.

Moreover, the opponent's speed is not very fast.

"As expected of Nagato's work~"

How could the chakra reaction on Tendo's body possibly escape Toshiro's notice?

Sensing the immense chakra emanating from Yahiko, Toshiro ignored Deidara in the sky.

"I reckon Obito and Zetsu deserve a lot of credit for this as well."

Seeing the figure charging towards him, Toshiro cracked his neck.

Since Yahiko has appeared, Nagato must be nearby, and Deidara is also above.

It seems that Nagato, or rather Obito and Black Zetsu, have gone to great lengths to deal with me this time.
