This Naruto is too strong

Deidara's attack was not without warning. At least Naruto and Gaara had noticed that this guy was hovering in the sky.

Gaara's sand flew out of the gourd automatically.

"Sand Shield!"

With Gaara's control, a semicircular sand wall was formed.

Boom!

Deidara's detonated clay bird hit the sand shield.

Instantly, a violent explosion sounded.

However, the bird was just a small C1 bomb used to harass the enemy. Although the momentum was amazing, the power was not great, and it was not enough to blow through Gaara's sand shield.

"Hmph, the reaction is quite fast, huh." Deidara controlled his strange bird mount to hover ten meters away from everyone.

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

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

Naruto: "Gaara, if I ask you to fight the guy on the opposite side, do you think you can win?"

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

Naruto nodded: "Then go, 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 made another move.

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 flies very fast.

Detonating clay double-winged bird.

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

"I know."

Gaara's eyes never left Deidara.

He spread his hands while answering.

The sand around him turned into balls one by one.

"Sand bombs!"

Swish, swish, swish!

Countless sand bombs 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 the sand to form a platform under his feet, and then immediately rode the sand into the wind.

——He went to 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 then flew away quickly.

"Want to escape?" Deidara saw it clearly.

Without saying a word, he drove the bird he was sitting on to chase Gaara.

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

"Don't worry about his life safety, because if Akatsuki wants to extract the tailed beast, it must be captured alive. I will also take action when necessary. Kabuto, in the future, we need to face more terrifying enemies than this one. I may not be able to resist it alone, and the others must become stronger. This battle, whether it wins or loses, will promote Gaara to become stronger. Karin, Kabuto, you too, can't stay at the current stage, you need to be 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 head: "You too."

Getting Naruto's affirmation, Karin was extremely satisfied. At the same time, she secretly made up her mind: "What kind of person Naruto needs, that's what kind of person I will be. After this, I will become a strong man 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: "Because I think this place is just right for burying you."

"Hmph." Deidara looked disdainful, "Sharp-tongued brat. Just watch, I will use my art to blow you up to the sky, um."

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

Dark blond hair, side bangs, left eye blocked by hair, the wind blew his bangs, and you could vaguely see that there seemed 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 of the Hidden Rock Village.

This guy is good at using the explosive ninjutsu, and usually uses his own blood limit and clay crafts to make various bombs to kill the enemy.

Clay crafts injected with explosive chakra are so-called detonating clay.

His detonating clay creations are ranked from C1 to C according to the chakra level.4. The larger the number, the greater the lethality. In addition, the crafts made of detonating clay have various forms, most of which are animal shapes.

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

If it turns into a small object such as a spider, it can be used for stealth assassination. It can also create a clay clone to help itself escape from combat and dodge attacks. The uses are very diverse. Regardless of the use, these explosives can cause explosions and cause powerful damage to the opponent. Therefore, whether it is frontal combat or support, the role of detonating clay cannot be underestimated.

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

Overall, he is a tough opponent.

"A ninja with medium and long-range attacks, this guy is somewhat similar to me before I met Naruto, in terms of personality and other aspects..." Gaara couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Okay, members of Akatsuki, let me see how capable you are."

Gaara said, and waved his hands, and a large amount of sand surged from the ground and rolled towards Deidara.

Facing the surging sea of ​​sand, Deidara's face also changed.

He controlled the bird he was sitting on to quickly take off and avoid it.

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

The separated sand was as flexible as a snake, and they entangled and chased Deidara.

Under Gaara's control, these sands cooperated with each other, sometimes chasing and blocking, and sometimes encircling, with extraordinary flexibility.

Deidara controlled the big 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 thought he was just a little kid, but fortunately I am well prepared this time. Although I used up the finished products made in advance when I raided Konoha just now... I still have two large bags of detonating clay, which should be enough."

As his thoughts turned, he reached into the ninja bag on his waist.

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

Deidara's was filled with a large pile of white clay.

He reached his hand into the bag, and the mouth in his palm stretched out his tongue to swallow the clay.

Crunch.

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

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

Bang!

The crafts made of clay 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 flying birds, but they were different from the previous ones.

They were only as thick as an ordinary thumb, but they were extremely fast, even faster than the two-winged bird.

Detonating clay·Assault hummingbird.

Seven or eight hummingbirds broke through the blockade of ordinary sand and came to Gaara in a flash.

Gaara was not in a hurry.

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

It was a perfect barrier with Gaara as the center in an oval shape.

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

The little hummingbird hit the shield directly, and an explosion sounded, but it still could not break through Gaara's defense.

Deidara smiled, "I see, that's the automatic protection sand in the intelligence. It's called 'absolute defense', right? Unlike the sand extracted from nature, the automatic protection sand should be special, and the shield is formed very quickly. And looking at the strength of the sand, it's impossible to deal with it with C1-level bombs. At least a group of C2 can explode. Or... before he raises the barrier. It seems that a feint is needed to create an opportunity to attack, so let's try it with that, um."

Deidara is planning how to break Gaara's defense.

Gaara is also thinking about how to catch Deidara.

Swoosh!

A sand eye appears outside the sand shield.

Through the sand eye, Gaara can see the battlefield clearly.

The large amount of sand he manipulates is still entangled with Deidara, but the opponent's mobility is far beyond his imagination.

If this goes on, it is basically impossible to defeat the opponent.

Furthermore, his chakra was not enough to support him to use a large amount of natural sand for a long time.

He had to find a way to lure the enemy deep into his territory, and then use his own sand to kill him.

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

That was a month ago, when he was hiding in the cave not long after being defeated by Naruto.

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

"Naruto is right. Using sand for defense and attack has always worked against guys weaker than me, but it is not effective against someone like Deidara.Strong people are sometimes powerless."

"So my solution is..."

Gaara touched the ninja bag on his waist, and took out a glass bottle from it.

The glass bottle also contained sand, but it was purple sand.

"Let's use this to win."

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 defense?"

Although he was busy dodging the attack of the sand, Deidara still noticed Gaara's move at the first time.

Then, the corners of his mouth curled up.

"It seems that this kid also knows that it's not a solution to waste time. Is he trying to lure me to attack? "

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

Deidara opened the telescope in his left eye.

Through the telescope, Gaara's expression was reflected in Deidara's eyes.

At this time, Gaara's expression was still indifferent, but his pair of eyes flashing with cold light stared at him without blinking.

It was as if he was saying

-Come on.

Deidara closed the telescope, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If you have the guts, then let you see the great works I have collected. "

He took out a clay sculpture from his arms.

It was a strange creature similar to a tumbler.

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

——Clay Bomb·C3·No. 18.

Deidara stayed in the sky.

He and Gaara stared at each other from a distance of dozens of meters.

In the distance, on the horizontal branches of a large tree.

Naruto's wooden clone and Kabuto stood side by side, watching the final showdown between the two.

Kabuto pushed his glasses: "These two seem to have made up their minds. Deidara seems to have taken out his trump card to break Gaara's absolute defense. And Gaara seems to be very tacitly ready to take this move. They are not like ninjas, but are similar to so-called samurai. Lord Naruto, what do you think?"

Naruto smiled: "The reason for this situation may be that these two people are unwilling to admit defeat. "

"Unwilling to admit defeat? ”

“Deidara is a person who values ​​the idea that ‘art is explosion’ more than his life. Gaara’s defense is extremely strong, known as absolute defense, which is unforgivable for Deidara who is keen on blowing up everything. Especially when Gaara lets go of his defense, it is more like a mockery of Deidara.”

Kabuto pushed his glasses again: “I see, Gaara’s behavior is no different from giving Deidara a middle finger. Deidara will choose to defeat Gaara head-on to prove himself, is that right?”

Naruto: “It’s just my personal guess, who knows what will happen? "

...

The confrontation between Deidara and Gaara did not last long.

Deidara was the first to attack.

He was high above, controlling the flying bird under his feet to dive towards Gaara.

Crackling.

During the charge, Deidara's mouth in his palm kept chewing the detonating clay

--He was preparing for the final blow.

Gaara was not to be outdone.

He stretched out his hand and a large ball of sand began to attack again.

The sand turned into a big hand and grabbed Deidara.

Hand of Sand!

This time, Deidara did not dodge.

He wanted to break through by force!

"The same trick doesn't work on me!"

Deidara shouted, and then he threw out a few spherical clays.

"Hah! !"

"Explode! "

Boom!

Several spherical detonating clays shattered the Hand of Sand.

Deidara successfully passed the first line of defense.

After that, he began to counterattack.

Another big sleeve flick, countless clay hummingbirds attacked Gaara.

Gaara's sand shield automatically defended, wrapping Gaara in the middle again.

"Sure enough, once the main body is attacked, the sand will automatically defend, this is your fatal injury!"

Huh!

Then at the speed of diving, Deidara quickly approached Gaara.

"Hmph, take it, this is a work of art specially developed for you."

"Deidara opened his palm, and between his fingers were several strangely shaped clay artworks.

It was a strange bird with a sharp beak and spiral texture.

Deidara flicked his hands and threw these arrow beak bird bombs at Gaara's sand shield like throwing a kunai.

"Kacha! "

Deidara quickly formed a seal, and the seven arrow beak birds he threw out changed from the size of an index finger to the size of an ordinary person's arm.

As they grew larger, the arrow beak birds also changed from dead things to living things.

TheySpreading its wings, it began to spin.

——Like a powered drill.

In the distance, Kabuto could not help but frown when he saw this scene: "So fast, not only fast, but their body shape seems to be specially made. The beak is as sharp as a needle, the body is conical, and the pair of bird wings are one side up and one side down. That special structure prevents them from flying normally, but spirals forward... Why is he doing this?"

Kabuto got the answer after a short thought.

"By the way, Deidara wants to use speed and rotation to break through Gaara's sand shield! No wonder a ninja like him who is good at medium and long-range attacks would dive towards Gaara like crazy. Is he trying to use the acceleration provided by this dive to increase the power of his artwork?"

The following scene confirmed Kabuto's idea.

The body of the arrow-beaked bird kept spinning, and finally pierced into Gaara's sand shield like a spike.

Puff!

Chi chi chi!

All seven sharp-beaked birds hit Gaara's sand shield, and they drilled directly into the sand like an electric drill.

"Hmph!" Deidara smiled, "It's halfway in, this depth should be enough, eh!"

Deidara detonated seven arrow beaks.

Bang!

Boom!

The thick smoke from the explosion rose, and finally covered Gaara's sand shield.

Seeing this, Deidara couldn't help smacking his lips: "Oh no, it seems that the power used is a bit too strong, won't it kill one tail at once?"

Whoosh!

"This battle... I won!"

Accompanied by Gaara's cold voice, a sand snake broke through the black smoke rising from the explosion and attacked Deidara directly.

"What?!" Deidara was shocked. "He actually has the energy to fight back!? Damn it!"

Deidara just hurriedly controlled the flying bird under his feet to take off and dodge, but the sand snake that appeared now was much faster than the previous ones.

This is Gaara's special sand, the speed, strength, and control are all incomparable to the sand in nature.

Even though Deidara had reacted quickly, his wrist was still grabbed at the last moment.

"Damn it!"

Deidara did not give up struggling even though he was entangled.

He controlled the bird to continue to rise in an attempt to get rid of Gaara's sand.

"It's useless."

Because he used a part of the sand to attack, Gaara's perfect sand shield leaked a corner, and his face was exposed to the air.

Deidara looked at Gaara, but found that there were cracks on Gaara's face.

Obviously, his arrow beak bird had penetrated the first layer of protection, but Gaara had two preparations.

- Sand Armor.

"This way, the battle is over."

Looking at the sand that entangled most of Deidara's hand, Gaara made a final conclusion on this battle.

"Sand coffin!"

Gaara stretched out his right hand and squeezed it suddenly.

Deidara immediately felt the sand wrapped around his arm tightening. In less than two seconds, his hand would be crushed into a pulp.

Crack!

In the blink of an eye, Deidara heard the sound of a broken bone.

"Ah!" Deidara couldn't help but roar. His forehead was sweating, but a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"You won? Don't be so arrogant."

He stared at Gaara.

"Also, I'm tired of seeing your cold face. I'll use this to make you scream!"

"Detonating Clay·C3·No. 18!"

While Deidara was speaking, he threw out a clay craft with his other hand.

"Art... is explosion!"

No. 18 thrown by Deidara instantly expanded.

The clay craft, which was originally only the size of a palm, instantly turned into a giant clay sculpture seven or eight meters high.

"The amount of chakra contained in that bomb, the distance between the two of them is so close, if Deidara uses this move, isn't he afraid of being blown up with it?! Lord Naruto..." Kabuto, who was watching the battle from a distance, was shocked.

Kabuto wanted Naruto to take action, but he remained silent.

Gaara also frowned, he took back the sand that entangled Deidara, and then quickly completed his sand shield.

However, the expected explosion did not happen.

"Ha!" Deidara sneered complacently, "Sure enough, he retreated. Now, the absolute defense is finished!"

Gaara, who had taken back all the sand, was preparing to welcome the violent explosion of the so-called C3, but the expected impact did not come.

In the distance, Kabuto also frowned: "What's going on? Why didn't that ugly thing explode?!"

Naruto looked as if it was expected.

Booby trap.

That is to scare the opponent.

This is Deidara's common method.

The C3 was not incapable of detonation, but Deidara did not activate it at all.

It was said to be an explosion, but in factHe was trying to trick Gaara into giving up his entanglement with him.

And his purpose was...

"This is..."

Gaara heard an unusual swishing sound inside the Sand Shield.

Soon, several strange bugs emerged from Gaara's Sand Shield.

The moment he saw this thing, Gaara's eyes widened.

This was clearly Deidara's detonating clay.

Detonating clay·C1·Earth spider!

Before Gaara could react.

Deidara immediately made a seal to detonate the earth spider.

Boom! !

A violent explosion sounded inside the Sand Shield.

The perfect Sand Shield immediately melted like a chocolate ball poured with hot water.

Deidara saw Gaara's face covered in blood.

Deidara smiled: "What a perfect expression. It seems that my art shocked him. Hahaha! I won!"

As expected, Deidara chose the same tactics as in the original work.

When his left hand was entangled by the sand, he spit explosive clay into Gaara's sand with his palm mouth.

When he used C3·18 to scare Gaara into taking back the sand for defense, the bomb hidden in the sand was activated.

Although Gaara was seriously injured at this time, his mind was still clear.

He said to himself: "This guy deliberately approached me, in addition to providing speed for those arrow beak birds, I am afraid it was to lure me to attack him with my own sand. I planned to catch his hand in advance... Did this guy risk being seriously injured to plot against me from the beginning?"

Deidara said: "Do you still have the energy to talk after being injured like this? Jinchūriki is indeed extraordinary. However, it looks like he won't be able to hold on for long. In this way, the next mission is completed... Next is the two bystanders over there. We can't let them rescue such a good prey."

Deidara noticed Naruto and Kabuto in the distance from the beginning.

C3·18 is also something prepared to prevent them.

As long as the other party dares to approach, he will detonate C3 without hesitation.

After staring at the other party for a while and finding that Naruto and Kabuto did not move, Deidara raised his eyebrows.

"So honest?"

"Forget it, since you are so sensible, I will not hesitate to collect the one-tail, and then use C3·No. 18 to give him a little artistic shock."

Gaara finally couldn't support the sand to fly anymore. He rolled his eyes and fell into a semi-comatose state. He also fell on his back to the forest below.

Deidara controlled the bird to catch Gaara.

But at this moment, he was shocked to find that he couldn't move!

"What's going on!" Deidara was shocked, "Not only my body, but my chakra... I can't use it either."

Deidara, who couldn't control chakra, couldn't even maintain the bird under his feet.

In the blink of an eye, the bird turned into mud and disappeared on the spot.

Deidara, who couldn't move, fell on his back like Gaara.

"Damn it!" Deidara's face was full of despair. He could never have imagined that he would fall to his death. In his plan, he would eventually become the ultimate art and then disappear brilliantly at the end. "I didn't expect that I would end up falling to my death. When Kurotsuchi and Onoki knew about it, they would be speechless, right?"

Just as Deidara closed his eyes and waited for death, a hand dragged his legs and threw him into the air.

Deidara immediately opened his eyes to check the situation, but found that it was Uzumaki Naruto who grabbed one of his feet and lifted him up in the air, and his other hand was still holding the semi-conscious Gaara.

Not long after.

Naruto slowly landed with the two seriously injured people.

Throwing the immobile Deidara aside, Naruto began to prepare to treat Gaara.

As a medical ninja and a subordinate, Kabuto immediately stepped forward to help: "Master Naruto, let me do it."

Naruto shook his head and said, "No, I have just checked it. It's just a few broken ribs, and the heart and lungs and other organs have suffered some injuries. It's not a problem."

Kabuto was dumbfounded.

Huh?

With multiple organs in his hands, several broken ribs are still not a problem?

Am I not awake or did you drink fake wine?

Without waiting for Kabuto to say more, Naruto has already started to prepare for treatment. He unbuttoned Gaara's shirt and then pressed one hand on his lower abdomen.

A light green energy lit up in Naruto's hand, and then this energy kept pouring into Gaara's body.

"This is..." Kabuto widened his eyes. He could feel the endless vitality from the green energy in Naruto's palm.

Naruto: "I have awakened the legendary immortal body. This healing power is one of the abilities given by the immortal body."

Kabuto didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.

Because, in just two or three minutes, Gaara reallyThe injury has recovered.

"I see, no wonder you are so confident that Gaara can fight the enemy alone. With this ability, I am afraid that even if the head is still broken, you can save it, right?"

Naruto smiled and said, "Kabuto, this is not the way to flatter. If other parts are gone, the main body may be able to save it, but if the head is gone, there is really no way."

While he was talking, the treatment was over.

Gaara woke up slowly.

He supported himself on the ground and sat up.

"I am..." He looked at his intact body, and Gaara thought he was dreaming.

Naruto patted his shoulder: "You are not dreaming, I helped you treat your injuries, you are fine now."

Deidara was also very surprised to see this, but he didn't care about anything else. He looked at Gaara and asked directly: "One-tail, what did you do to me! Why can't I move? Don't say you don't know, it must be because you did something when you attacked me with sand just now!"

Gaara looked at Deidara: "You are very perceptive, it is snake venom. The sand I used to attack you just now is mixed with the special toxic sand I made recently, which can quickly paralyze the enemy."

Deidara suddenly realized.

So that's it. When he was entangled by the sand just now, he also saw that there seemed to be some strange black and purple powder in the sand.

He thought it was some strange ore, but he didn't expect it to be sand contaminated with snake venom!

I'm afraid that the sand coffin just now was not to break Deidara's hand, but to send the poison into his body?

Gaara looked at Naruto: "You told me not to rely on sand, because my attack method is too simple. So after I met Orochimaru, I asked him to make some poison powder for me. Does this make up for the defect of my single attack method?"

Naruto smiled and said: "Almost."

Boom! !

As the two were talking, they heard a huge explosion from the direction of Konoha Village.

Kabuto pushed his glasses: "It seems that the battle over there has also entered a white-hot stage."
