Guys, just so you know, when the Second Great Ninja War was happening, Deidara wasn’t even born yet.
So please ignore that and just enjoy it!😆
“My head hurts so much.
Where is this…”
But soon, memories flooded his mind like a tide, making him understand everything!
He was born in the 26th year of Konoha, a person from Iwagakure named Deidara.
It is now the 42nd year of Konoha.
He is currently at the Iwagakure border, and Hidden Cloud Village is attacking Iwagakure!
The reason Hidden Cloud Village is ambushing Iwagakure is simple: Ōnoki has taken the Jinchuriki to the battlefield and cannot provide timely support, so the Third Raikage immediately dispatched men to ambush Iwagakure!
However, to prevent himself from being ambushed just like Iwagakure, the Third Raikage did not take the field himself.
This was good news for Deidara.
“Captain Deidara, what should we do!”
A Ninja ran over in a disheveled state.
“What is the situation?”
Deidara asked.
“It is very bad.
Our border line is about to be breached by Hidden Cloud Village!”
The Ninja immediately said upon hearing Deidara’s question.
Even though the Third Raikage did not come to the battlefield, his son, the Fourth Raikage, was still leading numerous Hidden Cloud Village Ninjas in a one-sided slaughter of the Iwagakure border Ninjas!
Deidara glanced around but did not see Killer Bee.
Perhaps Killer Bee is still training; after all, he seems to be only ten years old now.
“It seems I can combine Earth and Fire?”
Deidara was suddenly shocked to discover that he could combine Earth and Fire attributes!
In the original owner’s memories, he had tried to combine them countless times, but it always ended in failure.
He even doubted whether he was capable of creating Explosion Release at all!
“But why are there only close-combat skills like Explosion Release fist in the memories?”
Deidara didn’t expect that there wasn’t a single long-range skill in the original owner’s memories; they were all close-combat skills.
But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense.
After all, the Explosion Release user Gari from Iwagakure is a close-combat fighter and a member of the Explosion Corps.
As for why no one uses clay and only plays close-combat, it’s mostly due to the difficulty of control.
Deidara could clearly feel that the Explosion Release created from the fusion of Earth and Fire naturally carried an unstable aura.
Although Deidara’s Clay Bombs are technically Earth Release secret techniques, their actual performance looks more like Explosion Release.
Since no one knows anyway, Deidara just treats them as Explosion Release.
After all, “Explosion Release” sounds better than “Earth Release secret technique,” and since Deidara is the first one to invent it in this world, he simply renamed it to Explosion Release; it sounds more pleasing.
“Do you have any clay?
Bring me some clay!”
Deidara made up his mind to use clay to create bombs to resolve this crisis.
Furthermore, he could clearly feel that his control over Chakra had reached a new level; this was a conclusion he drew based on the original owner’s memories.
He didn’t understand if it was because of the fusion or some other reason; he only knew that he should have no problem controlling Clay Bombs now.
In his previous life, he specialized in making clay toys for others.
He had absolutely no pressure in crafting clay, meaning he could perfectly imitate Deidara’s combat style.
Moreover, he knew himself well enough to know that he could never defeat the Fourth Raikage in close combat.
Even if he used Explosion Release fist, he still wouldn’t be able to defeat the Fourth Raikage.
His only chance of winning was to use Clay Bombs to launch large-scale attacks on the Hidden Cloud Village, making them feel the losses and withdraw on their own!
Although people say Hidden Cloud Village is full of muscle-headed brutes, Deidara believed they wouldn’t fight to the death.
“Yes, Lord Deidara!”
Although the Ninja was confused about what Deidara intended to do, he could not disobey his captain’s orders.
Despite having many doubts, he still quickly went back to collect a large basket of clay and placed it in a sealing scroll.
“You did well…”
After complimenting the Ninja, Deidara took out the clay!
“Explosive Clay: Giant Bird!”
Under the Ninja’s shocked gaze, Deidara molded a giant bird.
The bird rapidly grew in size, and Deidara sat on it and took to the sky!
“Lord Deidara is…”
The Ninja was still in shock; he had never seen such Ninjutsu before.
Meanwhile, Deidara had already flown high into the sky!
“Explosive Clay: Spider!”
Unlike the C1 spiders, ordinary Explosive Clay spiders did not have as powerful an explosion as the C1 ones, but they were more Chakra-efficient.
Dense swarms of spiders were molded by Deidara and then thrown toward Hidden Cloud Village!
“Boom!
Boom!
Boom!”
After the Explosive Clay entered the range of the Hidden Cloud Village Ninjas, it exploded instantly!
“What is this!”
The Hidden Cloud Village Ninjas were terrified; they could not comprehend how a tiny spider could instantly blow up a group of Ninjas!
Deidara had just molded dozens of spiders, and these dozens of spiders had directly killed and injured hundreds of Hidden Cloud Village Ninjas!
This was just Deidara’s first wave of attacks!
“Is this…
Explosion Release?”
An Iwagakure Ninja said somewhat uncertainly.
In his impression, Explosion Release was for close-range attacks; he had never heard of Explosion Release being used for long-range attacks!
“This must be Explosion Release.
The way it explodes is similar to the explosion caused by Lord Gari’s fists!”
A Ninja said confidently.
“But isn’t Explosion Release only for close combat?”
A Ninja raised a question.
They were all stunned, temporarily forgetting to fight.
And it seemed there was no need to fight anymore; the Hidden Cloud Village side had already fallen into disarray, their attention completely captured by Deidara in the sky.
“I don’t know about that.
Let’s wait until Lord Deidara comes down and ask him!”
A Ninja said.
“Everyone, pay attention and dodge these exploding spiders!
These spiders aren’t moving fast!”
A Ninja immediately discovered the flaw in these spiders and shouted for the others to pay attention and dodge.
With the speed of a Ninja, it is possible to dodge these spiders if one tries, unless one is extremely unlucky and gets a spider thrown directly onto their head.
“Explosive Clay: Bird!”
Deidara saw the strategy the Hidden Cloud Village Ninjas were using to counter the Explosive Clay: Spider and immediately molded extremely fast birds!
Dozens of birds dove down from the sky, charging straight at the Hidden Cloud Village army!
“Watch out and dod…”
Before the commander could finish speaking, the birds had already flown in front of him, and a powerful explosion directly left him severely injured!
The remaining birds also fell into the ranks of the Hidden Cloud Village army, causing another hundred casualties in one wave!
“How can this be!”
The Fourth Raikage looked back and discovered that, except for himself charging in the front, the Ninjas behind were almost slaughtered by Deidara!
Deidara had almost wiped out the ordinary Ninjas in the back with his Clay Bombs!
“Is this Explosion Release?”
The Fourth Raikage felt it was absurd.
“Aren’t all Explosion Release techniques for close-quarters combat?
How can there be long-range ones!”
Like the Iwagakure Ninjas, the Fourth Raikage could not believe this was Explosion Release.
This was just as ridiculous as someone telling him that the Lightning Release Armor wasn’t used like that and then suddenly producing a Lightning Release bomb to blow people up.
This must be part of the reason why Ōnoki favored Deidara in the original work.
Deidara had managed to create a brand-new way to use Explosion Release, and he created it when he was just a teenager!
It would be strange if Ōnoki didn’t favor him!
Although Deidara’s clay was facing the Hidden Cloud Village, where almost everyone knew Lightning Release, the Hidden Cloud Village didn’t know that Lightning Release could cause Deidara’s clay to dud.
Deidara was just releasing birds from the sky, and Hidden Cloud Village was already beaten to the point of misery.
