The giant bird that lost its head got knocked and fell.With his sharp vision, Masahiko could give us a slow-motion close-up:
âThe yellow-haired boy one the giant bird looked around, clenching his teeth and looking very vigilant. He then pressed his hands down, and two mouths hidden in his palms suddenly opened their mouths and started chewing the white giant birdâs ass.
Seconds before he hit the ground, the boy made a weird round object and landed on it awkwardly. At the same time, the two mouths in his hands spit out dozens of small white spiders, crawling quickly in Masahikoâs direction.â
The boy completed this series of actions in less than two seconds, and Masahiko nodded slightly; this kind of combat talent is worthy of the youngest member of the original Akatsuki, Deidara. (He totally forgot about Sasuke.)
âThis is⌠a spider?â Karin looked disgusted and took a few steps back.
Masahiko weighed the slingshot in his hand, âThis one isnât bad at all, no wonder he managed to break the glass with it⌠Haku, deal with the spiders.â
Haku nodded, took two steps forward, then the dense Ice Needles in his hands fired, nailing all the spiders to the ground.
âIce Needles?â Deidara widened his eyes slightly, then extended his right hand, âTrue Art is an Explosion!â
âBoom!â\n
Masahiko smiled, âHaku, donât underestimate him. He got very strong techniques.â
âIâm sorry, Great Elder.â
Suddenly, several white birds flew out of the smoke and dust of the explosion. Haku raised his hand again and threw out a large number of Ice Needles. After hitting the birds, they quickly got frozen and turned into blocks of ice, then fell to the ground.
The simple temptation was over, and things were getting real, but Deidara hesitated to continue.
The few people in front of him donât seem to be easy to deal with. He also ran out of Iwagakure secretly, so the people chasing him should arrive soon. At this time, escaping should be the right choice. But thinking about how his bird was headshot just now, he couldnât help but feel out of breath.
Masahiko noticed that, smiled, then said to the three children by his side, âWhen the enemy on the other side is hesitant, you should be the one making a decision for him. Have you mastered the magical skills Iâve taught you before?â
âMagical Skills?â
âBuddhaâs Finger, and the Lion Roar.â Masahiko reminded him.
Karinâs face turned dark, and she took two steps back, âI donât remember you teaching us those skills.â
Haku also resisted, but Kimimaro was eager to try, which made Masahiko sigh. It seems that he has to do it himself. Heâs the best at irritating othersâŚ
Masahiko took a few steps forward, weighed the slingshot in his hand, and said with a smile, âBoy, fat is what made us meet her. Letâs have lunch together. Your bird canât die in vain. How about some Kari?\nAs soon as his voice fell, there was a group of cute exploding little animals in front of Masahiko.
Little spiders, little birds, little grasshoppers, little centipedesâŚ
After stepping back, Masahiko motioned to Haku to âdealâ with him again. While watching the battle quietly, he murmured softly, âDeidara is too young now, and it seems that he still canât powerful explosions.â
âKai! Kai! Kai!!â Deidara kept shouting. In order to prevent Haku from freezing all of his explosives, he chose to detonate them from a long distance, which made Haku quite confused.
âGod?â Kimimaro said eagerly from the side. This kid has surely inherited the blood of Kaguyaâs warriors, and it seems that he saw in Deidara a worthy opponent.
Masahiko nodded, âHaku, come back! Kimimaro, I chose you!â
Haku retreated slightly embarrassed, and Kimimaro rushed up straight.
Deidara hesitated, then turned his head and ran.
Kimimaro frowned, stretched his right hand forward, slightly hooked his index finger, and shouted, âGet over here!â(T/N: Scorpionâs famous move in the Mortal Kombat games.)\n\nâOn the journey, youâre going to meet a lot of Shinobi, and most of them are going to be Iwagakure ninjas. This time you guys saw how strong that kid was, right? Your strength is only good among your peers. Youâre not invincible. You need to work harder!â
Talking and laughing on the way, the group chased all the way, passing by a giant tree. Masahiko barely managed to hide his smile, then signaled Karin to be careful.
Behind that giant tree, Deidara le out a sigh of relief when he saw how the group failed to notice him, âWhat a pain! These bastards wonât leave me alone!â
Deidara was gonna try heading back to retrieve the giant birdâs half body. There wasnât enough clay to make a flying bird, so he couldnât escape far away.
However, his plan succeeded now, so he shouted, âKai!â
Several small fireballs exploded around him, then Deidara started moving again.
âTaste my art! Thatâs what you take for chasing me! You better learn from this!â Deidara pumped his chest as he said.
Masahiko looked at his smoky little face, smiled, and said, âAlthough I have different views on art, I do consider myself an artist.â
âHey! Only explosions are true art! What art do you know?â
Masahiko smiled: âArt, I should be⌠a performance artist.â
