As if a mute button had been pressed, they all lost their luster.
It turned into piles of lifeless gray clods of earth.
Like hailstones, they pelted down on the sand around Sasuke, raising a cloud of dust.
"what?!"
Deidara's maniacal laughter froze instantly, replaced by incredulous astonishment!
"How is this possible?! My C1 Spider... how could this be..."
His prized clay bombs were all turned into duds so easily?!
This completely overturned his understanding!
“Rektu, your art… is too fragile.”
Sasuke's voice rang out coldly, carrying an undisguised hint of mockery.
His crimson Sharingan seemed to see through the turbulent waves in Deidara's heart.
Deidara was completely enraged, veins bulging on his face: "Don't be so smug! Try this! C2 Dragon! Hmm!"
He clasped his hands together abruptly, channeling a massive amount of chakra into them!
A much larger and more complex clay dragon instantly took shape beneath his feet!
With a roar, the dragon flapped its wings and soared into the sky, instantly lifting Deidara even higher!
At the same time, the dragon opened its massive jaws, and countless clay birds, resembling miniature missiles, flew out.
With a piercing shriek, like a dense barrage of bullets, it rained down furiously on the stone pillar where Sasuke was!
This time, the bird was faster and its trajectory was more cunning, clearly in order to avoid direct contact with the lightning release!
Despite the overwhelming aerial attacks, Sasuke stood still, showing no intention of dodging!
His hands formed a mudra again!
"Psychic art!"
A huge cloud of white smoke exploded next to Sasuke!
As the smoke cleared, a gigantic toad with enormous size, deep red skin, and bulging muscles suddenly appeared!
It is Gamabunta, the toad from Mount Myōboku that Sasuke gets along with the most!
"Toad Flame! Please!"
Sasuke gave a low shout and instantly leaped onto Gamabunta's broad back!
"Understood! Sasuke, kid!"
The toad flame let out a deep growl, and its thick hind legs, like springs compressed to their limit, slammed against the rock pillar!
boom--! ! !
The solid rock pillar was instantly shattered by the kick!
The massive body of the Toad Flame was like a cannonball fired from a gun.
With terrifying explosive power and superhuman speed, it charged fiercely towards the clay dragon and Deidara high in the sky!
That speed was even faster than the clay birds launched by the C2 dragon!
"what?!"
Deidara's pupils suddenly contracted!
He never expected the other party to close the distance so quickly in this way!
Most of the bullet attacks from the Clay Bird landed behind the trajectory of the Toad Flame.
The few that were hit were able to withstand the toad-inflame's tough skin!
"Chidori Sharp Spear!"
Sasuke stood on Gamabunta's back, his right hand raised high!
The piercing, bird-like screams reached their peak instantly!
A violent surge of lightning chakra gathered and expanded wildly in his palm!
It was no longer a short blade, but a giant lightning spear over ten meters long, made entirely of highly condensed lightning!
The tip of the gun gleamed with a destructive, cold light!
"cut--!!!"
At the moment when the Toad Flame leaps to its highest point, almost parallel to the C2 dragon!
A fierce glint flashed in Sasuke's eyes, and the Thousand Birds Spear in his hand carried the power to tear the sky apart, like a spear of judgment.
It slammed down fiercely on the enormous clay dragon!
*Sizzle!*
The ear-piercing cutting sound seemed to tear the sky apart!
The indestructible spear of lightning sliced through the clay dragon's head without hindrance, like a hot knife through butter.
It cut downwards with unstoppable momentum!
The sturdy clay structure is as fragile as paper in the face of absolute power and attribute restraint!
Boom——! ! !
Just a moment!
The massive C2 dragon, along with the launching device on its back, was cleaved in two by Sasuke's Chidori Spear!
The internal explosive clay structure was completely destroyed by the violent lightning.
It failed to even explode, and instead turned into two huge, black-smoking wrecks that fell helplessly into the desert below!
Deidara at the moment the dragon was split open.
With amazing reflexes, he narrowly escaped being cut in two by maneuvering the clay bird fragments beneath his feet!
But he also lost his footing and tumbled several times in the air before finally managing to steady himself and land on a small clay bird.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Deidara looked down at the fallen remains of the dragon.
Then look at Sasuke, who has landed steadily back on the sand and is now standing alone after his toad flames have turned into white smoke and disappeared.
His gray eyes were filled with extreme shock, frustration, and... a hint of fear!
"Why?! Why do you know so much about my art?!"
"The weaknesses of every type of clay bomb, the countermeasures for every attack method... it seems... it seems you already knew all along?!"
"That's impossible! Hmm!"
Chapter 275 Deidara: How do you even know this?
Deidara couldn't believe it; his proud clay art seemed to have turned into a transparent toy in front of Sasuke!
Every attack was precisely predicted and perfectly countered!
This feeling of being completely seen through and held back was more humiliating and insane to him than the failure itself!
Sasuke slowly raised the Kusanagi sword, its tip pointing at Deidara in the air.
His crimson Sharingan gleamed like cold gems under the blazing sun: "Who knows?"
His voice was flat and emotionless, yet it carried the deepest sarcasm: "Perhaps... your art itself has a fatal flaw."
"Flaws?! Bullshit! My art is perfect! It is supreme!"
Deidara, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly flew into a rage!
Sasuke's nonchalant attitude and his assessment of "flaws" completely ignited the last shred of reason in his heart!
"You forced me to do this! Uchiha Sasuke!"
Deidara's face showed an expression of extreme madness and determination as he suddenly tore open his Akatsuki robe!
His muscular chest was exposed!
In the very center of his chest was a huge, bizarre pattern resembling a mouth.
Several black stitching lines, resembling zippers, extend from the edges of the pattern!
At the center of the pattern, a clay core, pulsating like a heart and radiating terrifying chakra fluctuations, is slowly unfolding!
"Witness this! This is the ultimate art! Transcending the moment! Reaching eternity!"
"Returning everything to nothingness—C0 Self-Destruction! Hmm!!!"
Deidara's voice was distorted by extreme fervor.
He reached out to tear open the stitches on his chest and detonate the ultimate bomb that could turn the surrounding area into an absolute dead zone!
Just as Deidara's hand was about to touch the stitches on his chest!
Sasuke's Sharingan with its three tomoe instantly reached its maximum spin!
This is the moment he has been waiting for!
Before Deidara unleashes his final art, he will inevitably have a momentary opening where he is too engrossed in his fanaticism to defend himself!
"Boo! Hah! Hah!"
Three beams of cold light shot out from Sasuke's hands like lightning!
Instead of kunai, they were three sharp-edged shuriken!
Their target was not Deidara's vital organs, but his arm from which the stitches were about to be torn open!
Deidara's pupils suddenly contracted!
He had no idea that Sasuke's attack would be so tricky and swift!
Driven by the fervor of self-destruction, his reaction was ultimately a beat too slow!
