Dark Naruto's acting life

It cannot be said that Deidara's attack was without warning. At least Naruto and Gaara had already noticed this guy hovering in the sky.

Gaara's sand automatically flew out of the gourd.

"Sand Shield!"

As Gaara manipulated it, a semicircular sand wall formed.

boom!

Deidara's explosive clay bird crashed into the sand shield.

In an instant, a violent explosion sounded.

However, the small bird is just a small C1 bomb used to harass the enemy. Although it makes an amazing sound, it is not powerful enough to blow through Gaara's sand shield.

"Hmph, you react pretty quickly, hmm." Deidara controlled his strange bird mount and hovered ten meters away from the crowd.

"Deidara?" Naruto looked at Gaara beside him, seeming to be thinking about something.

Gaara noticed Naruto's gaze and asked confusedly, "What's wrong?"

Naruto: "Gaara, if I let you fight that guy on the other side, do you think you can win?"

Gaara was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "I won't lose."

Naruto nodded, "Then go ahead and meet your old friend."

"Old friend? I don't know him." Gaara was puzzled.

"He's here." Naruto didn't explain, but changed the subject.

At this time, Deidara attacked again.

This time he was obviously a little more serious, and the bomb he threw was still bird-shaped.

But unlike ordinary birds, this artwork has two pairs of wings and can fly very fast.

Exploding Clay Wingbird.

This move is usually used for quick surprise attacks to disrupt the opponent's rhythm.

"I know."

Gaara's eyes never left Deidara.

He spread his hands out as he responded.

The sand around him turned into round balls.

"Sand Bullet!"

shhhhhh!

Countless sand bullets flew towards the two-winged bird.

boom!

Another explosion sounded in the distance.

In this second confrontation, the two sides were still evenly matched.

After dealing with this wave of bombs, Gaara didn't say anything more. He used sand to form a platform under his feet, and then immediately rode the sand into the wind.

——He went towards the woods behind the Hokage Rock.

Before leaving, Naruto reminded, "Gaara, don't forget what I told you in the cave more than a month ago."

Gaara looked back at Naruto, nodded slightly, and walked away quickly.

"Want to escape?" Deidara saw it clearly.

Without saying a word, he drove the bird he was riding after Gaara.

Kabuto looked at the two people walking away and couldn't help asking, "Master Naruto, is this really okay? The people in the Akatsuki organization are all masters. Wouldn't it be too risky for Gaara to face an Akatsuki member alone?"

"You don't have to worry about his life, because if Akatsuki wants to extract the tailed beast, they must capture it alive. I will also take action when necessary. Kabuto, in the future, we will have to face enemies that are much more terrifying than this. I may not be able to withstand it alone, and the others must become stronger. This battle, whether we win or lose, will help Gaara become stronger. Karin, Kabuto, the same goes for you. You can't stay at the current stage, you need to become stronger."

Naruto patted Kabuto's shoulder.

"Especially you, Kabuto. I have high hopes for you."

"What about me?" Karin looked at Naruto with hope in her eyes.

Naruto patted her little head: "Same to you."

Karin was extremely satisfied with Naruto's affirmation. At the same time, she secretly made up her mind: "I will be whatever kind of person Naruto-sama needs. After this, I will become a strong person at all costs!"

……

Above the Hokage Rock Forest.

Deidara looked at Gaara, who was intercepted by him, and asked jokingly, "Why don't you run away?"

Gaara's eyes were as sharp as ever. He stared at Deidara and said, "Because I think this is the right place to bury you."

"Hmph." Deidara was full of disdain, "You sharp-tongued brat. Just wait and see, I will use my art to blow you up to the sky, hmm."

Staring at Deidara, Gaara recalled the information about Akatsuki that Naruto's clone had told him more than half a month ago.

He has dark blond hair and side bangs. His left eye is blocked by his hair. When the wind blows his bangs, one can vaguely see that there seems to be a strange eye above his left eye.

This appearance is in line with the bomb attack just now.

The characteristics are obvious, this is Deidara, the genius ninja from the Iwagakure Village.

This guy is good at using Explosion-style Ninjutsu. He usually uses his own bloodline limit and clay crafts to make various bombs to kill the enemy.

Clay crafts infused with explosive chakra are called explosive clay.

His explosive clay creations are ranked from C1 to C4 according to the chakra level. The larger the number, the greater the lethality. In addition, the handicrafts made of explosive clay have various forms, most of which are in the shape of animals.

If it turns into a bird or a dragon, it can be used for flying and reconnaissance.

Transforming into small objects such as spiders can be used for stealth assassinations, and can also create clay clones to help oneself escape from combat and dodge attacks. It has a wide variety of uses, and no matter what the use, these explosives can explode and cause great damage to the opponent. Therefore, whether it is frontal combat or support, the role of detonating clay cannot be underestimated.

In addition, Deidara is crazy, bold and cruel. In order to quickly complete the so-called art, he also transformed his hands. He has a mouth in each hand, which can help him complete his artistic creation.

Overall, a tough opponent.

"A ninja who attacks from a medium to long range. Regardless of his personality or other aspects, this guy is somewhat similar to me before I met Naruto..." Gaara couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Well, members of Akatsuki, let me see how capable you are."

Gaara said this and waved his hands. A large amount of sand surged up from the ground and rolled towards Deidara.

Facing the vast sea of ​​sand, Deidara's expression changed.

He controlled the bird he was sitting on to quickly take off into the air to avoid the attack.

Seeing this, Gaara immediately separated the large mass of sand into seven or eight strands.

The separated sands were as flexible as snakes, entangled and chased Deidara.

Under Gaara's control, these sands cooperated with each other, sometimes chasing and blocking, sometimes surrounding, and were extremely flexible.

Deidara controlled the bird to dodge quickly, thinking in his heart: "To be able to control such a large amount of sand, this guy's chakra is really not to be underestimated. I underestimated him because I thought he was just a kid. But fortunately, I am well prepared this time. Although I used up the finished products in advance when I raided Konoha just now... I still have two large bags of detonating clay, which should be enough."

His thoughts raced as he reached into the ninja tool bag at his waist.

Other people's ninja tool bags were filled with kunai, shurikens and the like.

Deidara was filled with a large pile of white clay.

He thrust his hand into the bag, and the mouth in his palm stretched out its tongue and swallowed the clay.

Click, click, click.

The palm of his mouth chewed the clay, and soon, seven or eight small flying birds were completed.

He casually threw the artwork into the sky, then stretched out his hand to form a seal.

boom!

The clay crafts seemed to be given life; they flapped their wings and flew towards Gaara.

Gaara saw it clearly.

He separated the sand to intercept these small birds, but it was different from the previous ones.

They are only as thick as an ordinary person's thumb, but they are incredibly fast, even faster than two-winged birds.

Exploding Clay·Assault Hummingbird.

Seven or eight hummingbirds broke through the blockade of ordinary sand and arrived in front of Gaara in an instant.

Gaara was not in a hurry either.

The sand wrapped around him quickly closed in, and finally, a sand shield was formed.

It was a perfect barrier that formed an oval with Gaara at the center.

The sand he carried with him was just enough for him to form such a perfect shield.

The hummingbird crashed directly into the shield and an explosion was heard, but it still could not break through Gaara's defense.

Deidara smiled. "I see, that's the automatic protection sand mentioned in the intelligence. It's called 'Absolute Defense', right? Different from the sand extracted from nature, the automatic protection sand should be special and can form a shield very quickly. And judging from the strength of the sand, it's impossible to deal with it with C1-level bombs. At least a group of C2 bombs will be needed to explode it. Or... detonate before he raises the barrier. It seems that a feint is needed to create an opportunity for attack, so let's try it with that, hm."

Here, Deidara is planning how to break Gaara's defense.

Over there I love that I am also thinking about how to catch Deidara.

call out!

An Eye of Sand emerged outside the Sand Shield.

Through the Eye of Sand, Gaara could see the battlefield clearly.

The large amount of sand he controlled was still constantly entangled Deidara, but the opponent's mobility was far beyond his imagination.

If this continues, it will be almost impossible to defeat the opponent.

Furthermore, his chakra was not enough to support him in a long-term attack with a large amount of natural sand.

We must find a way to lure the enemy deep into our territory, and then use our own sand to kill them.

Thinking of luring the enemy deeper, Gaara couldn't help but recall what Naruto had said to him.

That was a month ago, when he was hiding in the cave shortly after being defeated by Naruto.

At that time, Naruto once told him: Don't rely too much on sand.

"Naruto is right. Using sand for defense and attack has always worked well against guys weaker than me, but it is a little inadequate against a strong man like Deidara."

“So my solution is…”

Gaara touched the ninja tool bag at his waist and took out a glass bottle.

There is also sand in the glass bottle, but it is purple sand.

"Let's use this to secure our victory."

Thinking of this, Gaara took the initiative to release the Sand Shield, exposing his body.

At this time, Deidara was controlling the bird to quickly rise into the air to avoid the attack.

"Huh? You gave up on defense?"

Although he was busy dodging the sand attacks, Deidara still noticed Gaara's actions at the first moment.

Then, the corners of his mouth curled up.

"It seems that this little brat also knows that wasting time is not a solution. Is he trying to lure me into attacking?"

As if in response to Deidara's thoughts, the sand that had been chasing and blocking him began to stop moving and slowly retreated back to Gaara.

Deidara opened the telescope in his left eye.

Through the telescope, Gaara's expression came into Deidara's eyes.

Gaara's expression was still indifferent at this moment, but his pair of eyes flashing with cold light were staring at him without blinking.

It's like saying

——Come on.

Deidara closed the telescope, a smile appeared on his lips: "If you have the guts, then I will let you see the great works in my collection."

He pulled out a clay sculpture from his arms.

It was a strange creature similar to a tumbler.

It has hollow eye sockets and an open mouth on its face, and its hands are like bird wings, with a rather strange shape.
