Deidara flicked his finger: "Ha!"
With a loud rumble from underground, Yaoyue's feet suddenly gave way to emptiness; Deidara had blasted a hole in the ground.
The Radiant Moon Sharingan rotated as it adjusted its posture in mid-air.
"Such a simple trap?"
Yaoyue turned over, trying to jump out of the pit.
Suddenly, a centipede emerged from the pit and wrapped itself around Yaoyue's ankle.
With a single stab, Yaoyue paralyzed the mud centipede.
Just as the Radiant Moon Blade pierced the centipede,
Deidara's two birds moved, the smaller bird rushing straight at Yaoyue's body, while the two-winged bird crashed into the pit wall.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Flash!"
"Explosions are art! Ha!"
Bang bang!
Two explosions were heard, and the crater collapsed instantly.
As the smoke and dust filled the air, Deidara felt a pang of anxiety and, pulling the owl along, narrowly avoided a strike from Yaoyue.
Deidara broke out in a cold sweat. Was that Lightning Release: Stimulation Technique? It was too fast.
Deidara pulled the owl up high, thinking: As long as you can't fly, I have the advantage.
Unfortunately, Kawasaki had already thoroughly investigated and extracted all of his intelligence.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Spear!"
A dazzling light pierced through the soil, and the owl instantly returned to normal, plummeting downwards.
"Humph!"
Deidara leaped off the owl, ready to fight again.
At this moment, Yaoyue flicked her wrist and sheathed her sword: "It seems your art has quite a few limitations."
Deidara was so angry his nostrils twitched. He could accept defeat, but he would never tolerate being looked down upon: "How dare you insult my art!"
As Deidara landed, he pushed off with his feet, his body rapidly expanding as chakra converged within him.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Spear".
Yaoyue extended his index finger, a flash of lightning passed directly through Deidara, and Deidara's movements came to an abrupt halt.
Then, Deidara also turned into a lump of dirt.
Not far away, Deidara's head emerged from the ground.
He angrily shouted at Kawasaki, who was watching from the sidelines, "You've leaked all my information! Huh!"
Kawasaki watched with great interest; Yaoyue's fighting style was completely different from his usual arrogant demeanor.
Kawasaki shrugged upon hearing this: "True art is not limited by this kind of information, so your mud explosion is simply not good enough."
"No! Explosions are art! Explosions are the best expression of art! Yes!"
Deidara chewed on the dirt, continuing his preparations...
Kawasaki reached out and beckoned behind him with his finger.
Then, a member of the Uchiha clan stepped out from behind Kawasaki. He was Katsura, who had previously lost to Sasuke and Naruto within the clan and was publicly punished as a result.
Katsura opened her eyes, and the Sharingan inside began to operate.
Kawasaki pointed behind him and said, "See that, Deidara? That's art!"
Deidara was busy mixing clay in his mouth when he heard this, and he couldn't help but turn to look at Katsura.
Instantly, his gaze met those blood-red Sharingan eyes.
thud
Deidara's eyes rolled back, and he fell straight to the ground.
The unchewed clay was scattered all over the ground.
......
In the mountain cemetery.
The Wood Release cells fused into Danzo's body had reached a stage where it was difficult to break through.
The rate at which Wood Release erosion penetrates the body becomes extremely slow.
Danzo now has a Sharingan embedded in both his right and left shoulder blades.
For the purpose of the experiment, Obito even provided Danzo with a Sharingan from his inventory.
Later, Obito realized that it was actually unnecessary.
Obito's right side is a White Zetsu, and he can use his eye power to help Danzo suppress the Wood Release rampage.
So Obito took out that Sharingan again.
Used Sharingan eyes suffer damage and cannot be immediately returned to the nutrient solution; they need to be nourished in the body for a period of time.
Obito then temporarily placed the eye in the palm of his right hand.
Through observation, Obito figured out the pattern of Danzo's Wood Release rampage.
There is no longer a need to stay by Danzo's side at all times.
A figure emerged from beneath the ground; it was Zetsu, who had returned from the Land of Water.
"Obito, I have bad news and even worse news. Which do you want to hear first?"
White Zetsu said gloatingly.
Obito frowned: "What's going on?"
Black Zetsu lowered his voice and said, "There might be something wrong with the waterfall in the organization; it could be a traitor from Kirigakure."
"The three of them, including Pipa Juzo, have returned to Kirigakure."
"Moreover, the Uchiha clan was not genuinely cooperating with Kumogakure; they made a deal with Hiyori."
"We can't get in touch with Kakuzu."
"It might be because of the Uchiha clan's involvement."
After a moment's thought, Obito realized that Kakuzu, the financial magnate of the Akatsuki, had disappeared.
"And the other news?"
White Zetsu asked impatiently, "Yagura is dead, and the Three-Tails has also been killed!"
But the expected outburst of anger did not materialize.
Obito merely frowned and coldly asked, "Who were the people the Uchiha sent?"
Seeing that Obito hadn't lost his composure, White Zetsu seemed a little disappointed.
Black Zetsu answered on behalf of Shisui and Itachi.
Obito recalled the pain of being burned by Amaterasu last time, and his eyes flashed with hatred.
"Perhaps it's time to add two pairs of Sharingan to the collection room."
Upon learning that only Itachi and Shisui were on the battlefield in the Land of Water, Obito did indeed have some ideas.
He instructed, "You watch over this place. Danzo is still useful; don't let him die."
To Zetsu's surprise, Danzo had not yet been killed by the Wood Release.
Aside from the change in skin color, everything else was the same as usual, except that there was a Sharingan on each of his left and right shoulder blades, which looked a bit strange.
Realizing that Obito wanted to deal with Itachi and Shisui,
Black Zetsu said quietly, "I've planted spies outside the Cloud Village and Kirigakure strongholds. Be careful when you go there; Itachi and Shisui are not easy to deal with."
Ah...
Obito chuckled softly.
A vortex rose up, and he disappeared into it.
"Right now, Itachi and Shisui shouldn't be a match for Obito, right?" White Zetsu asked.
Black Zetsu certainly hoped that Obito could deal with the two Uchiha.
Otherwise, future action plans will have to be adjusted to target the Uchiha clan.
At that moment, a White Zetsu emerged from the ground: "Most of the Hyuga clan members in Konoha have been affected by the Spore Technique. Hyuga Kaito's assimilation is about to be completed."
Black Zetsu said with satisfaction, "Konoha is full of experts, so we must be cautious in our actions. We must not use the Spore Technique lightly, and we should try to gather as much intelligence as possible."
At that moment, Jue's ring suddenly emitted a fluctuation.
Jue frowned, a wave of thought washing over him. He put his hand on his head, his thoughts traversing time and space, and an image appeared in the cave.
The figures of Sasori, Deidara, and Juzo Biwa simultaneously appeared in the cave.
Payne opened his eyes: "How's the battle going on your side? Why haven't Waterfall and Horn arrived?"
Pipa Juzo said naturally, "When we attacked Killer Bee, both of us were injured and are recovering."
Pain nodded, seemingly acknowledging the waterfall's presence: "The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is indeed troublesome."
Zetsu chuckled inwardly. Ever since Pain's mockery last time, he had vaguely looked down on Obito and himself.
They don't even know there's a traitor in their own organization.
He had no intention of telling Payne; he planned to make Payne suffer a great loss.
Payne then looked at Zetsu, whose intelligence-gathering abilities were extremely strong. Even if there was no communication between the members, Zetsu should know the situation.
Zetsu's voice was hoarse: "Kakuzu and his teammate Hidan have been dealt with by the Uchiha."
"The Uchiha sent three people, including Itachi, who has the Mangekyou Sharingan, Shisui, who can use the Body Flicker Technique, and another person I don't know well, but who is quite strong."
Pain thought for a moment, then looked at Deidara and the others: "Deidara, Sasori, how are you?"
