“Age should never be a limitation for a person.”
Reito shook his head.
He was very open-minded; as long as someone had the ability and strength, why shouldn’t they be the captain-general?
Deidara’s strength was far greater than his.
Judging solely from the strength displayed just now, Deidara had already surpassed him.
Furthermore, he did not know if Deidara had any other hidden cards.
If he had even more hidden cards, Deidara’s true strength would likely exceed his own by a wide margin.
“Deidara, give me an answer.
Will you take this captain position or not?”
After Reito finished speaking, the entire command post fell silent.
Everyone looked at Deidara in unison, wanting to see how he would respond.
“Brother Reito, I won’t waste any more words.
I accept the position of captain-general!”
Deidara stood up, having no intention of being overly modest with Reito.
Because all he saw in Reito’s eyes was sincerity, and he presumed that Brother Reito must have thought this decision through carefully.
After all, the position of captain-general was not so simple.
A regular captain, by guarding the border for a year, could receive any B-rank Ninjutsu and an A-rank mission record, as well as a monthly salary of 100,000 ryo.
But as a captain-general, one received an A-rank Ninjutsu per year, an S-rank mission record, and 500,000 ryo per month.
This was the difference between heaven and earth, yet Reito was willing to give it up, which was enough to show how highly Reito thought of Deidara.
It was clear that he believed the value Deidara could bring him would far exceed what he was giving up now.
After all, even the best relationships are built on interests; one wouldn’t give up such huge benefits just because of a slight connection.
Deidara did not intend to be polite and simply accepted it.
When he had the ability in the future, he would repay Reito twofold!
“Good, let us congratulate Deidara on becoming the new captain-general!”
Reito was the first to start applauding.
Behind him, Tuxuan also applauded to show support, and finally, applause from the various captains echoed throughout the command post.
After all, it was Reito paying the price, not them.
As long as Reito felt it was fine, they naturally wouldn’t say anything more.
Just like that, Reito submitted his resignation and recommended Deidara at the same time.
He also reported Deidara’s impressive performance in this battle truthfully.
Iwagakure – Tsuchikage Office
Ōnoki had not yet gone out to fight.
The final step had not been reached, and it would likely be some time before Ōnoki mobilized.
However, Ōnoki had been having some headaches recently.
Kumogakure stubbornly refused to join the war, and Ōnoki could see that Kumogakure likely had other ideas.
“Does Kumogakure want to sit back and reap the rewards?”
Ōnoki thought to himself.
“Lord Tsuchikage, urgent information has arrived from the border.”
Just as Ōnoki was thinking, an Anbu entered, knelt on one knee, and handed a report to Ōnoki.
“Urgent information?
The border?”
Ōnoki’s expression changed drastically.
Urgent information from the border was certainly likely not good news.
With a nervous heart, Ōnoki opened the battle report.
He had already prepared himself mentally, even for the possibility that the border had been lost.
“Wh…what!”
As Ōnoki read on, his mouth opened wider and wider!
“Lord Tsuchikage, what exactly happened!”
Ganto, the secretary beside the Tsuchikage, couldn’t help but ask.
After all, Ōnoki’s reaction was simply too extreme!
If Ōnoki’s reaction had been any smaller, Ganto wouldn’t have asked.
“This is good news!”
Ōnoki closed his mouth and then a smile appeared on his face.
He hadn’t smiled this happily for a long time since the Ninja World War began.
Deidara, mentioned in the letter, was able to develop Explosion Release into a long-range attack.
With this kind of talent, he was probably not far off from his teacher, the Tsuchikage Mū?
This was as incredible as turning Water Release into burning flames.
“Something as unstable as Explosion Release can actually be used for long-range?”
This was the only thought in Ōnoki’s mind.
He wanted to call the Explosion Release Squad over to inquire immediately.
But unfortunately, the Explosion Release Squad had already gone to the battlefield with Kitsuchi, so he couldn’t see them now.
“Immediately summon this person named Deidara back to Iwagakure.
I want to see him in person!”
Ōnoki paced back and forth excitedly.
It had been a long time since Iwagakure had produced such a genius.
Even his son Kitsuchi probably couldn’t keep up with this sixteen-year-old young man!
Furthermore, if such a large-scale Ninjutsu were used on the battlefield…
its power would likely be completely comparable to a Tailed Beast!
“Yes, Lord Tsuchikage!”
The Anbu replied.
As for the rest of the letter, the matter of Reito wanting to yield the captain position to Deidara was completely ignored by Ōnoki.
It would be a waste of talent for such a strong genius to guard the border; he should hurry to Iwagakure.
Never mind the captain position; with this talent, it would be no problem to give him the Tsuchikage position in the future.
This was Ōnoki’s true thought.
After all, Iwagakure was indeed starting to experience a shortage of new blood, and Ōnoki was approaching old age; he was also afraid that he didn’t have many years left to live.
“Ganto, immediately find all the information on this young man named Deidara!”
Ōnoki said.
“Yes, Lord Tsuchikage!”
After receiving the order, Ganto immediately headed to the archives.
Deidara should have graduated about six years ago, so the files wouldn’t be too hard to find.
The current Ninja Academy was a four-year program; after all, it was the Ninja World War era, and there wasn’t that much time to study for six years.
“Deidara, huh…”
Ōnoki let out a long breath, calming his excited mood.
He hadn’t been this excited in a long time; he remembered the last time he was this excited was when his teacher died.
Border.
A day had passed.
“Captain Deidara, please come out immediately.
Lord Tsuchikage wants you to go to Iwagakure!”
After arriving at the border, the Anbu went straight to Deidara’s door and began calling out for Deidara.
“Coming!”
Deidara immediately opened the door, and upon opening it, he saw an Anbu wearing a fox mask.
“Then let’s go!”
Deidara didn’t dawdle.
Since the Tsuchikage wanted to see him, he would just go.
“Explosive Clay: Giant Bird!”
Under the Anbu’s puzzled gaze, Deidara molded a clay bird and then threw it out!
The clay bird expanded with the wind, quickly becoming a huge bird.
“Come with me, I’ll directly control the clay bird and fly there!”
Deidara said, looking at the Anbu.
“Ah…
okay!”
The Anbu was also a bit shocked, but upon hearing Deidara call him, he immediately snapped out of it and stepped onto the Giant Clay Bird.
The Giant Clay Bird spread its wings, carrying Deidara and the Anbu, soaring into the sky.
“This kind of air superiority is probably only comparable to Lord Tsuchikage’s Light-Weight Rock Technique.”
The Anbu watched as Deidara easily flew to a height of several hundred meters, and his heart was filled with shock.
This meant that there were almost no Ninjutsu that could hit Deidara, and Deidara also had supporting offensive Ninjutsu.
This Giant Clay Bird alone could give countless people a headache.
