Chapter 365: Fighting Deidara part 2/2

As soon as he finished speaking, Deidara took out some more clay and started chewing on it with his regular mouth, resulting in Naruto giving him a weirded-out look.

‘Is it really necessary that he chews his clay before everything single one of his attacks?’

[Well, considering what we have seen so far, I would say yes, it is.]

*HURRGH*

The sound of someone emptying the contents of their stomach echoed over the forest, causing Naruto to look at Deidara with disgust.

‘Eww, that’s nasty. Whatever he just created, I’m not letting it touch me.’

As soon as Naruto finished that thought, the clay Deidara just… procured, started moving, and a few seconds later, a giant figure of Deidara himself was created.

Naruto’s eyes widened when he saw a fifty-meter tall figure of Deidara as he prepared himself to teleport away instantly.

‘If that thing explodes as well, then I’m out of here.’

Moments later, the giant clay figure started bloating, causing Naruto to squint his eyes. That was totally different from the other explosives so far, which usually started glowing instead.

Shortly after, the massive figure popped like a balloon instead of exploding, which made Naruto frown. His first thought was that Deidara’s jutsu failed, but considering the mad grin on his face, Naruto very much doubted that.

A calculative grin appeared on Naruto’s face, which was replaced by a cocky smile before Deidara could notice his previous facial expression.

“Hehe, what is this? Failed your own jutsu, huh? How pitiful.”

Deidara’s grin grew even wider when he heard Naruto’s words as he clapped his hands together and formed the seal of confrontation.

“Victora is mine! ART IS A BANG!!! KATSU!!!”

Moments later, every living being in the surroundings except for Deidara started crumbling away, which naturally included Naruto, who was frantically looking at his arms, legs, and body, which were slowly turning into dust until nothing remained of them.

“HAHAHA, THAT’S RIGHT, DIE!!! BE CONSUMED BY MILLIONS OF BOMBS YOU CAN NOT SEE AND PERISH!!!”

Moments later, Deidara took a few deep breaths before an annoyed expression appeared on his face.

“Damn, I was not supposed to kill the Junchuuriki. Of well, I frankly don…”

“[Massive Rasengan]”

*BOOM*

A gigantic sphere of blue spinning chakra smashed into Deidara’s back, resulting in him being flung away at high speed and, after crashing through dozen of trees, crashing into the ground, producing a huge smoke cloud.

Meanwhile, Naruto landed on Deidara’s clay dragon and drew a few seals on its back, resulting in it turning back to its original size and crashing to the ground.

Surprisingly, Deidara managed to shakily get up from the ground, which caused Naruto to look at him in surprise.

“Not bad, you managed to but a wall of clay between yourself and my attack just before I hit you, preventing quite a bit of damage.”

However, Deidara couldn’t even hear Naruto’s praise as he glared at him in hatred.

“HOW!? HOW COULD YOU EVADE MY ART!?”

Naruto pondered for a moment whether he should explain himself or not and then decided just to do it. After all, wasn’t it unfair that only villains were allowed to monologue?

“Pretty simple, actually. All attacks you used so far worked on the same principle. You infused your clay with your chakra and then used the connection generated through that to detonate them remotely. So, I only had to make sure to get rid of the chakra inside the clay to make it harmless.”

“In case you are wondering how I did that, I used my seals. You might have forgotten about it since I didn’t use any seals in this fight so far, but I’m still considered as one of the most proficient seal masters of the Elemental Nations. In fact, I consider myself to be the second-best, just after my nee-san.”

Deidara gritted his teeth in anger when he realized that Naruto had tricked him. The Naruto he saw dying was only a clone, which Naruto used to gauge whether his preventive measure would work. That meant that his outburst after seeing Naruto die was precisely what he was waiting for.

Naruto saw Deidara’s anger spike, and a mocking grin appeared on his face.

“Well, do you have any other cards to play, Handblowjob?”

Deidara saw red when he heard Naruto mocking him again, resulting in Deidara tearing away the clothing covering his upper body, revealing what appeared to be a stitched wound on his chest.

However, he used one of his hand mouths to tear away the stitches, revealing yet another mouth on his chest.

“Damnit, just how many mouths do you have!? Do you want to break some messed up world record!?”

Deidara ignored Naruto’s words as he swiftly started feeding clay to the mouth in his chest.

“VERY WELL, I HAVE ENOUGH OF THIS MOCKERY!!! I WILL SHOW YOU MY ULTIMATE ART!!! BEHOLD MY MASTERPIECE!!! SELF-DESTRUCTION!!! I WILL TURN MY DEATH ITSELF INTO THE ULTIMATE FORM OF ART!!!”

Instead of panicking, Naruto had a slightly conflicted expression on his face as he noticed the black lines that started covering Deidara’s body and seemed to compress him into a black ball.

“HAHAHA, THIS BLAST WILL COVER MORE THAN 10 KILOMETRES!!! IT’S IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO GET AWAY!!! COME ON, SHOW IT TO ME!!! SHOW ME YOUR FEAR AS YOU REALIZE YOUR INEVITABLE DEATH!!!”

Instead of showing his fear, Naruto’s expression became even more awkward.

“*Cough* Err… Oh no, how could I possibly travel the distance of ten kilometers within an instant?”

As Naruto said that, he slowly took a three-pronged kunai out of his weapon holster.

“…”

“…”

The silence was so heavy; you could slice it with a knife as Deidara looked at the kunai in Naruto’s had with crimson red eyes.

“*Cough* Errr…sorry for destroying the mood?”

“F*CK YOU, NARUTO UZUMAKI!!!”

*BOOOOM*

A few minutes after the aftermath of the heavy explosion settled down, Naruto reappeared at the now devastated battlefield with a wry smile on if face.

“Geez, he didn’t have to curse me like that. How rude. Isn’t it his own fault for forgetting about my ability to teleport?”

[Isn’t the only reason he forgot about it, because he lost himself in his anger due to you constantly mocking him.]

‘Now, now, that’s just unreasonable, Kurama. I didn’t mock him THAT much.’

[Pretty sure that nickname alone brought him over the edge.]

‘Mhhh, really? I thought it fit him rather well, though?’

[I’m pretty sure it doesn’t matter whether it’s a good fit or not.]

‘Is that so? Oh well, he’s dead now, so I guess it doesn’t matter anymore.’

Naruto was just about to teleport back to Yuna when he saw something sparkling in the crater Deidara left behind.

“Ohh? Is there still something left of him after that explosion?”

After searching for a short moment, Naruto managed to dig up a teal-colored ring, which caused him to tilt his head in confusion.

“How in the world did a ring of all things survive that explosion?”

Naruto inspected the ring a bit further and noticed that there were actually seals engraved into it, which immediately sparked his interest.

After analyzing it for a while, a wide grin appeared on Naruto’s face as he put the ring on his right index finger.

“Hehe, let’s have some fun with this~”
