Red sand dust

The electronic prosthetic eye originally built to deal with Uchiha Itachi's illusions was not an ordinary technological product, but a very special ninja tool.

It is still unknown whether the Mangekyo Sharingan's genjutsu can really be restrained, but Deidara is so confident that it must be of some use.

The secret technique Daimaru used to become invisible, the Polarized Killing Formation, although its effect was similar to an illusion, did not actually interfere with the chakra in Deidara's body.

Fortunately, Deidara's tailor-made electronic prosthetic eyes still showed some use.

You can't see exactly where Daimaru is, but you can observe the fluctuations of chakra.

It's like footprints in the snow. Even if you can't see the person, you can still judge the general direction and movement from the traces.

With such a rough perception, another ninja wouldn't be able to do anything with Daimaru, but Deidara was different.

After unleashing a piece of explosive clay and a two-winged bird that flew extremely fast, and surrounding it in a fan shape, Deidara, who made seals with his hands, showed a cruel smile on his face.

"drink……"

The detonated clay puppets exploded simultaneously, completely covering the suspicious area and turning it into a firework that spit out white heat waves.

"It's too irritable, it's not good..."

Along with Daimaru's playful teasing, a flexible tornado rose up, sucking in the surrounding air together with the heat wave and blowing it away. Then, a slightly embarrassed Daimaru was revealed.

He flicked the corners of his clothes that were slightly burned by the flames, smoothed down his hair that was a little messy due to the shock wave, and seemed to be aroused by the desire to fight. He looked at his opponent with scrutiny in his eyes.

"An attack of this level is still far away..."

"You succeeded in irritating me, you idiot who has no self-awareness..."

Being looked down upon by Itachi Uchiha had already deeply hurt his face. Now even a guy like Daimaru dared to speak nonsense in front of his eyes. Deidara's pride did not allow him to let go of the guy who spoke arrogantly.

Before he finished speaking, a blue stream of light flashed past. Deidara, who was unable to dodge, only had time to turn slightly sideways before a strand of hair was cut off by the wind escape wings, and a shallow gash was cut on his cheek. Red blood came out.

"Your strength is completely unable to match your shameless attitude. It looks like you are going to die here today..."

Although the test had no results, he finally understood the opponent's speed.

The reaction abilities of the two are quite different. Daimaru's speed and flexibility have an overwhelming advantage. Deidara's advantage lies in the power of his Explosion Ninjutsu, which is much greater than Daimaru's Wind Release Ninjutsu and consumes less energy. , as long as the detonating clay is not completely consumed, Daimaru will be at a disadvantage in the Ninjutsu duel.

In addition, Deidara's taijutsu is not top-notch, but it is not worse than the average jounin. In close combat, Daimaru can have the advantage, but it is not easy to win.

"Deidara, who is still in his growth stage, is not as strong as he remembered two years later..."

Daimaru instantly thought that every official member of the "Akatsuki" organization was a master comparable to the "Shadow". Two of them were special. Deidara and Uchiha Itachi were about the same age as Daimaru, but they were still as strong as Lots of room to grow.

In the past, Daimaru could only notice Gaara who he often saw, but he was not so impressed by strangers.

Uchiha Itachi, due to the existence of blood disease, may have slipped from his peak when he dueled with Uchiha Sasuke, but Deidara has no such hidden danger. He will definitely be more powerful two years later than he is now.

How much can your strength improve in more than two years?

Daimaru even felt that Deidara might not know C4 Garuda now.

Like the electronic prosthetic eyes, the nanoscale detonating clay puppet was also a secret technique developed to deal with Itachi Uchiha. Even against Sasuke Uchiha, he did not have the confidence to use these forbidden techniques. He waited until the end of the road to reveal his trump card, explaining that Di Di Darla wasn't too sure.

At this time, C4·Garuda has not yet been successfully developed, but it is not unacceptable. Daimaru glanced at Gaara who was struggling to support himself, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"It seems that I really picked a relatively "soft" "persimmon"! 』

The Red Sand Scorpion, which has long been finalized, will not be much weaker than it will be two years later, but Deidara will be completely different.

Daimaru, who once felt that he was not strong enough, met Kakuzu and Hidan by chance in Kawakuni. He didn't even have the courage to fight, so he fled in a hurry with his men, and was almost caught up.

The reality gap has always made Daimaru a little afraid of fighting against these famous villains. He is always wary and timid, but in fact, the entire Sunagakure Village is standing behind him. As long as he plans well, he has no chance of winning. .

That's just super powerful ones like Konan's Billion Detonating Talisman and Nagato's Rinnegan. Others are not really impossible to kill.

Only now did Daimaru realize that what he was afraid of was not one or two of the strong men, but those behind the scenes that only Destiny's Child could deal with.

As strong as the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara, he only dares to hide in the dark. As a rebel nin with no fixed abode, he can only live in peace with the "Akatsuki" organization, which explains a lot of things.

They may not be afraid of antagonizing the five major ninja villages, but they also don't want to deal with the continuous pursuit. The dead Zabuza Momochi is a lesson learned from the past. Rebel ninjas can fight off countless encirclements and suppressions, but as long as they fail once, they will be killed. .

"Hey, you guy, you dare to be distracted during the battle?"

Deidara, who was dissatisfied that Daimaru diverted his attention, released several clay puppets to chase him, but Daimaru easily dodged them.

"Whatever tricks you have, just use them..."

Daimaru chuckled and said,

"Time is on our side. Anyway, you can't be faster than me. You can't escape..."

"It seems that I am really looked down upon..."

Deidara, who was extremely angry and laughed, took out a large ball of explosive clay from his ninja bag. After kneading it with his hands, it turned into a large clay puppet, like a dense swarm of bees, flapping its wings and making a buzzing sound. Buzzing sound.

"Want to win with numbers? I'm curious how long the detonating clay you prepared can last!"

…

In mid-air, Deidara kept detonating the explosive clay, trying to get rid of Daimaru's entanglement, but was unable to do so.

The sand ninjas who were watching the battle below, thinking that they would not be able to tell the winner for a while, surrounded them in the other direction.

"Deidara is just incidental, our main target is Scorpion..."

Markey directed his men to focus the attack on the other side.

In the battle in the sky, except for the ballistae at the rear, which can provide some support, the other sand ninjas cannot intervene. In comparison, the one-tail jinchūriki and the red sand scorpion are more important.
