Chapter 37: New Moves, Izayoi's Greeting Gift
"Brother Sasori, we've been searching for three days now, and we still can't locate the mining village in the mountains. Is your information fake?"
By now, the art duo didn't even know they were being pursued.
Deidara buzzed around in the skies a few times, and after still not locating anything, he couldn't help but complain.
"The news was provided by Zetsu, it can't be inaccurate. There exists a Kurozutsumi family who recently showed up in the Land of Rivers and were involved with selling various minerals on the black market." Sasori's tone was a little rough and clogged. "That family will possess a tremendous source of minerals. Provided we find them, we won't need to view Kakuzu's face anymore, and we won't need to walk around taking jobs in the future."
"Okay, then I'll accompany you to look for a few more days." Deidara said despairingly.
After he had spoken, Deidara carried Sasori and flew in the air, ready to change to another place.
When they were flying in the air, a thin shadow suddenly enveloped their bodies, shielding them from the light of the sky.
The two glanced up to catch a glimpse of someone with flashes of brilliant golden light in the rear, and they couldn't even catch sight of his face.
"Flying ninja?!"
Deidara cried out, "Maybe the old man sent someone to arrest me before?"
The most famous flying ninjutsu is the Iwagakure's Earth Style: Light-Weight Rock Technique.
Sasori had obviously learned something and urged hastily, "He is not an Iwa ninja, Deidara, descend hastily."
Simultaneously, his mouth was transformed into a rectangular shape, releasing super-high-density poisonous needles into the figure suspended in the air, in an onslaught manner.
The poisonous needles were extremely rapid, and prior to Deidara's capability to move, they were almost going to blanket the figure from bottom to top.
But the next instant, these hundreds of poisonous needles seemed to collide against an air barrier and bounced off.
The shower of needles streamed down.
Watching this spectacle, Deidara quickly used the white bird to plummet downward, and at the same time waved his sleeves to send a handful of white birds of origami size flying out, spreading their wings and soaring upward into the sky.
"Explode!"
Deidara created an incomplete seal with his other hand and called softly.
Boom—
Several layered explosions sounded out, and the pure light of the fire erupted in the sky like fireworks.
It's a pity that it's still daytime, and the fireworks are not so beautiful.
The wind dispersed the smoke in the air, and Deidara and Sasori, out of the range of the shadow, could at last see the figure's appearance.
It was a man about 1.8 meters in height, wearing a black onesie, a white mask of the same color hair and without any holes on his face for eyes, and radiating an aura of mystery.
This was Izayoi, by the Transformation Technique.
Looking down at Deidara and Sasori below, Izayoi whispered, "Let's start with a greeting gift."
Saying that, he raised his right hand, palm facing upwards.
There appeared a flash of condensed chakra flame and was gone.
"Forget about it, this movement is not done yet, too embarrassing to play as a gift of greeting."
"Let us try another move! With the current chakra, I'm sure I could do it."
Izayoi made a half-formed seal with both of his hands, and the blue chakra flame suddenly emerged out of his body.
The aircurrent, which could not be seen, rushed upwards and ruffled his white hair continuously.
Izayoi maintained this seal of his hand for more than half a minute, and the chakra flame never dissipated.
Deidara, after landing on the slope, saw this spectacle and said, "What is he doing?"
"It is surely casting a spell, be cautious, ninjas who can fly by themselves are not common people."
Sasori spoke softly as he drew out a scroll from inside his body, ready to release his puppet soldiers.
But soon, his movements stopped.
And Deidara, who was looking up at the sky next to him, had his mouth open and looked stunned.
In the sky, Izayoi was waving at them, inviting them from far away: "If you can make it, let's be friends."
Having said that, he flew away.
It was noon, and the sun was blazing high in the sky, looking like a huge fireball.
Whether this was real or imaginary, the height of this fireball was descending, coming towards Deidara and Sasori.
"What... what is that?"
The sight came before Team Eight and the convoy, who were taking a detour and climbing a steep slope, and they all stopped.
They all stared at the sky where the art couple was standing, their faces filled with shock.
A few timid ordinary people were so terrified that they collapsed on the ground.
"Meteors?!"
"No, that's...a meteorite!!"
That's true, the huge fireball was a meteorite falling at high speed, burning against the atmosphere to produce fire and burning into a huge fireball.
Watching the trajectory of the meteorite that was coming down, Kurenai Yuhi muttered, "Coincidence? It is a coincidence!"
For this world, of course, there's no possibility that there's a meteorite summoning technique.
She wasn't watching over Hinata standing behind her, gazing up at the flying meteorite in admiration.
"Deidara, quickly flee!"
The setting returned to the art duo. Sasori screamed frantically.
"So... so cool."
But Deidara simply stood there, blankly staring at the meteorite in the air, as if he were seeing the lovely sight after the meteorite has fallen: "This is art!"
"Idiot!"
Sasori cursed fiercely, and a huge iron tail sprouted from behind him, tied up Deidara, and jumped off the hill.
At the same time, he pulled out a scroll from his body and released the trump card inside.
With a bang, the white mist disappeared.
A puppet, wearing a black jumpsuit, with human skin, but puppet material bones and internal organs, stood next to Sasori.
This puppet was the Third Kazekage.
The chakra line was hooked up to the puppet, and the Third Kazekage unfolded his hands, and an unlimited quantity of black iron sand streamed out from his cuffs, building a humongous triangular cone in the air below.
Sasori pulled Deidara and landed on the triangular cone, and then manipulated the Third Kazekage to use Magnet Release in using the triangular cone to shoot at another mountain, and moved the chakra line to pull the Third Kazekage across, soaring along the mountain wall, ready to soar behind another mountain.
But the falling speed of the meteorite was too high, and there was not enough time.
Thus, Sasori had to reverse his view, permit the Third Kazekage to control the triangular cone to shoot obliquely down, and explosively destroy the man-made cave in the mountain.
Sasori summoned Deidara and the Third Kazekage in, first ordering the iron sand to form a solid wall to seal the gate of the cave.
Then, he generated quantities of iron sand, enveloping them layer by layer, forming a huge black sphere.
Boom————
Almost simultaneously with the black ball's creation, an enormous explosion roared across the mountains.
The meteorite impact explosion was amplified by the valley reverberation, at the same time piercing the iron sand wall, depriving Sasori and Deidara, as well as all the animals of this area, of their hearing.
The terrible hot-temperature shock wave killed a vast population of organisms and plants as well, and knocked down the mountain on which it landed in a moment. The shock wave frenziedly hit nearby mountains, and the mountain walls burst.
Ten or twenty kilometers plus distant, Team Eight and the convoy on the slope perceived the explosion and an enormous mushroom cloud rising in the distance.
Despite the mountains in between, they could sense the ground under them shaking.
They were on the slope, They were standing on the slope; that is to say, the mountain was slightly shaking.
One can understand how strong the giant fireball was.
