"Is that so?" Yoriichi glanced at Deidara with distrust, feigning disdain as he spoke:

"But I don't really believe it."

Deidara's face immediately darkened, and his expression gradually became impatient.

"I was originally going to advise you not to go to your death."

"Since you're so eager to die, let's have a fight." Deidara's expression became excited again, and his palm cracked slightly, the crack looking like a human mouth with sharp teeth.

Deidara fed clay into his open mouth and then prepared for battle.

"Wait a minute!" Yoriichi suddenly called out, startling Deidara, whose face showed an impatient and angry expression.

What exactly do you want?

"Afraid?"

"No, not at all." Yoriichi looked at Deidara with a bright smile.

"How about we make a rule? If I win, you'll join my team and become my subordinate..."

"What?!" Deidara interrupted Yoriichi, "You think you can beat me? You're being a bit too arrogant."

Deidara seemed to be amused by the situation and had no intention of listening to Yoriichi continue. His eyes hardened, and he said, "Let's fight."

"I haven't even told you how you won yet?" Yoriichi's brows relaxed, and his bright, three-tomoe Sharingan began to flash.

"Don't worry, you can't win." Deidara seemed quite impatient.

"Then you'd better remember the request you made."

"Hmph, fine." Deidara smiled contemptuously, his face full of arrogance. He never considered the possibility of losing. In the Land of Earth, he was the strongest genius who was invincible and the best successor to the future Tsuchikage. If it weren't for the old Tsuchikage's stubbornness, why would he have run away to become a rogue ninja?

After becoming stronger, he will return to the Land of Earth and prove to everyone that Deidara is always right!

Deidara's gaze burned as he looked at Yoriichi. Clay figures gradually began to gather around them, standing about ten meters apart. A gentle breeze blew, and the fighting spirit burned brightly, as if the sun had already set.

"Make your move!" Deidara took a deep breath and waited quietly for Yoriichi to make his move. For a genius like him, he never took the initiative to gain the upper hand, because only in this way could he convince his opponent.

"Hmph, let's see how you beat me." Deidara sneered.

Suddenly, a colorful illusion appeared in front of his vision.

Chapter 25 Your weakness is illusion!

"Hmm?" Deidara sensed something was off, but as the sunlight shone into his eyes and created colorful ripples, he gradually calmed down.

"Oh, it's just sunlight." Deidara breathed a slight sigh of relief and looked ahead. Yoriichi stood motionless, looking at him with a completely indifferent gaze.

"Hey, didn't I tell you to make the first move?" Deidara raised an eyebrow, looking annoyed.

"I've already made my move," Yoriichi said with a smile, looking at Deidara.

Deidara glanced to the side and saw two inconspicuous kunai stuck in the ground on either side. The kunai were ordinary and a little distance from his toes, which made Deidara chuckle softly.

"Your aim is terrible," Deidara complained. "And it's not artistic at all."

He stared at the kunai, which was not equipped with any lethal tools such as explosive tags. It was just an ordinary kunai stuck in the ground, like something a novice who had just come into contact with ninja tools could do.

Then, he gave a disdainful smile, a smirk playing on his lips, and said:

"Now that you've finished, it's my turn!" Deidara exclaimed excitedly, immediately flicking out several miniature clay pellets from his sleeve.

"Let me show you real art!"

"This clay was already being made in his sleeve from the very beginning, wasn't it?" Yoriichi smiled slightly, his eyes fixed on the clay bomb flying towards him.

Although Deidara told him to make the first move, he was secretly making clay bombs. Despite his young age, he was cunning and, most importantly, extremely proud.

Yoriichi nodded slightly. He had to admit that if he could get rid of his stubborn pride, he would truly be a rare talent.

Yoriichi wore a confident smile. Even when the clay bomb automatically locked onto his position, he did not dodge. His three-tomoe Sharingan flickered slightly at that moment.

"Well then, let me teach you a lesson today."

"Immortal Technique: Serpent Concealment!"

"Click!" The clay bomb detonated instantly at Deidara's command! The explosion was incredibly loud, and thick smoke rose up over an area of ​​nearly ten meters. Deidara stared intently at the center of the smoke, smugly preparing to admire his achievement.

"I told you to be careful... huh?" Deidara froze on the spot before he could finish speaking.

Thick smoke revealed a corner of Yoriichi's body. Yoriichi stood motionless in place, without any signs of explosion on his body, and not even the corner of his clothes was soaked by the dust from the explosion.

"How...how is this possible?" Deidara's eyes widened in panic as he stared intently at Yoriichi, who was completely unharmed.

"Hmph!" Deidara's eyes turned cold as he continuously kneaded something in his hands. Soon, a giant clay bird appeared, and Deidara quickly launched it. The bird was extremely fast, and the angle was just right to Yoriichi's position.

"Crack!" The bird exploded rapidly just as it approached Yoriichi. The violent explosion sent dirt flying. Deidara's eyes narrowed as he looked inside again and exhaled softly.

"We can't possibly dodge this time!"

As Deidara's perspective gradually zoomed in, Yoriichi's figure reappeared unharmed, leaving Deidara stunned. However, he failed to notice that in Yoriichi's crimson eyes, the pupils were constantly and subtly shifting.

"Who...are you?" Deidara's pupils dilated in shock, finally realizing the seriousness of the situation.

"You should still remember what I told you, right?" Yoriichi walked forward with light steps, his Sharingan reflecting the incredulous gaze of the person before him.

The dust from the explosion was blown up by the wind, but it didn't stick to Yoriichi at all. Deidara nervously swallowed, his confident and arrogant gaze gradually replaced by vigilance.

"Remember, your weakness... is illusion!" As soon as Yoriichi finished speaking, he slightly raised his right hand and made a hand seal.

"Magic - Shackle Technique".

As the sorcerer unleashed his power, Deidara's eyes gradually became distorted, and the surrounding scenery began to twist until the environment was plunged into darkness. Deidara looked around and found that wedges had already been driven into his body, fixing him to a shackle and rendering him unable to move.

"What did you do?" Deidara was shocked by what he saw. He watched as Yoriichi slowly approached, and on either side of him appeared two men in black robes with gloomy faces. From their clothes and appearance, it was clear that they were Yoriichi. Each of them held a long sword.

Just as Deidara was wondering what was going on, Yorimitsu on the left began to plunge his long sword into Deidara's body. Blood splattered onto Deidara's face, and Deidara's expression trembled, somewhat incredulous.

But the next moment, Yoriichi, who was on the right, once again stabbed Deidara in the body with his knife, and a strong pain made Deidara cry out.

Deidara struggled incessantly, but to no avail. Suddenly, his gaze swept over two kunai around him, which were now lying directly beside his feet, pinning his feet firmly to the ground, unable to move.

Deidara's eyes widened in shock. It turned out that the two kunai were not thrown randomly, but were arranged in advance!

"Slash!" Another blade landed on Deidara's shoulder.

The heart-wrenching screams resounded once again!

Faced with this cruel scene, Yoriichi simply smiled, and the two Yoriichis on either side began to wield swords, driving Deidara to the brink of mental collapse.

Only in this way can we properly curb the arrogance of this young and impetuous child. Yoriichi nodded slightly.

After recruiting Deidara, he will continue to temper his arrogance until Deidara is no longer so reckless; that is when Deidara will be at his strongest.

At least they won't be foolish enough to specifically seek out someone who counters them for a one-on-one fight.

"Ah!" The screams continued for about five minutes, and as Deidara began to foam at the mouth, Yoriichi finally released the genjutsu controlling Deidara.

As the darkness gradually faded, Deidara rolled his eyes, and his body, which had been standing in place, fell straight down.

"Thud." A heavy thud sounded as Deidara landed face-first. Yoriichi stepped forward, reached out, and gently helped Deidara up.

Deidara's consciousness gradually cleared, and as he looked at Yoriichi's face, an unconcealable look of fear appeared in his eyes.

Deidara's body trembled uncontrollably, and the tremor was transmitted to Yoriichi's body, making Yoriichi look at the arrogant boy who had just been so arrogant with amusement.

It has to be said that Deidara was truly afraid this time.

As expected of Itachi Uchiha's genjutsu, its intimidating power is indeed immense.

After the battle of the Konoha Annihilation Plan, Yoriichi, through multiple rounds of battles, directly stacked his gacha pulls to 19*2, a total increase of 17 pulls.

The new 10-pull will include the SR card [Uchiha Itachi] (Anbu), and you can choose one from the following: Three-Tomoe Sharingan, Uchiha Shuriken Technique, Summoning Crow, and Genjutsu: Demonic Illusion: Shackles Technique.

It's a real shame that Itachi Uchiha, during his time in the Anbu, didn't learn powerful ninjutsu like Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, or Susanoo.

Yoriichi had already obtained the three-tomoe Sharingan, so he didn't really need shurikenjutsu. Therefore, he could only choose between summoning crows and genjutsu: Demonic Illusion: Shackles Technique. In the end, Yoriichi chose the genjutsu ability.

He now has the summoning beast of Ryuchi Cave, but his illusion ability has always been a weakness. Moreover, this illusion has a strong mental attack capability, which is very useful against opponents who are not good at dispelling illusions.

Yoriichi looked at the convulsing, silent Deidara and smiled slightly.

"How about it, become my subordinate?"

Chapter 26: Heading to the Land of Water, A Mysterious Man's Surprise Attack?

Under the blazing sun, two figures slowly traversed the rugged sandy terrain, one in front of the other. Deidara looked sullen, glancing at Yoriichi every now and then, his eyes revealing a hint of suppressed resentment—a look of both defiance and helplessness.

Deidara lowered his eyelids and sighed softly. He had lost his match against Yoriichi and had no choice but to agree to follow Yoriichi and become his subordinate.

“Um…” Deidara suddenly began, but then froze.

"Kenshin," Yoriichi replied softly.

"Oh, Kenshin, if I beat you in the future, will you give me my freedom?" Deidara's eyes were full of resentment.

“Sure.” Yoriichi’s eyes narrowed slightly. “As long as you can beat me fair and square.”

Upon hearing Yoriichi's answer, Deidara's lips instantly curled into a smile.

"Just wait, I'll find a way to break your genjutsu! I don't believe you can beat me with ninjutsu!" Deidara muttered excitedly to himself, gently rubbing his chin as he thoughtfully planned his future rebellion.

Yoriichi glanced at Deidara's face, which was trying not to laugh, and sighed softly.

"What a silly child..."

With that in mind, Yoriichi opened the panel of the [Strongest Gacha System] to check his data.

N-rank card: Earth Release Mastery *7 (+1), Lightning Release Mastery *7 (+2)

R-rank card: Ninja Tool Mastery *7 (+5), [Tenten] (Genin) Ninja Tool Expert - Proficient in using various ninja tools

SR Card: [Uchiha Itachi] (Anbu) Magical Illusion: Shackles Technique

Current energy value: 11*2

"Very good." Yoriichi quietly looked at the energy value. The battle with Deidara just now had a significant effect, accumulating enough for two draws.

This also means he can do another ten-pull.

Yoriichi's lips curled slightly. During his battle with Deidara, he hadn't expended much energy, but his energy level had increased significantly.

This also means that as long as you are strong enough to crush the strong, the speed at which you can perform ten consecutive draws will become faster and faster, and the system will be able to upgrade quickly, thereby gaining even greater strength!
