Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

Chapter 755: It's Called... Akatsuki

A series of explosions and dazzling flashes completely alarmed the entire Daimyo's Mansion. Panic screams, chaotic footsteps, and elusive figures emerged from all directions.

Several people accidentally stumbled upon the location where Hidan was, and upon seeing the brutally killed ministers and Hidan, who is still bathed in blood, screams erupted.

Hidan frowned when he saw this. And without saying anything further, he swung his scythe, and the world suddenly became much quieter.

He looked up at the night sky, where the flames were slowly extinguished. Due to his eyes not adapting to the transition from darkness to light and back to darkness, Hidan couldn’t see Hyōketsu or the white object at all.

Hidan looked around irritably and spotted a tall tower not far away. He immediately rushed towards it point. In no time, he reached the top and looked up, only to find nothing in the night sky except for the moon.

‘Are they dead?’

Hidan irritably descended the tower and stamped his feet while shouting: “Hey, White Zetsu, get out of here!”

“Hey hey.”

White Zetsu’s clone got his head out of the ground and said, “Don’t be so loud.”

White Zetsu’s clone said with a snort: “Don’t worry, Hyōketsu won't die.”

It was just a shadow clone after all, so there was nothing to worry about.

As for who attacked Hyōketsu, sorry, things happened too fast, just like a tornado. By the time White Zetsu’s clone sensed the abnormalities and used Sensor Ninjutsu, it was already too late!

At the night sky.

Deidara controls the fat pigeon under him to keep ascending, trying to maintain the aerial advantage over Hyōketsu.

The night wind howled, and Deidara and Hyōketsu passed through clouds one after another. At this moment, the Land of Hot Water’s Daimyo’s mansion below had already shrunk to the size of a palm.

“Art is explosion, Katsu!”

Seeing that he couldn’t get rid of Hyōketsu, Deidara immediately threw down a bunch of small birds.

Hyōketsu clasped his hands together emotionlessly. In an instant, ice crystals dances wildly, forming tough and thick ice shields around him. The surface of the ice shields was also carved with intricate patterns, displaying an extravagant appearance!

Boom, boom, boom……

In the next instant, the ice shields were hit by the small birds, and amidst the intense explosion, the flames turned into ring-shaped shockwaves. Under the violent impact, densely packed cracks were formed on the surface of the sturdy ice shields, but… that’s all.

As the flames dissipated and the shockwaves subsided, the ice shields remained standing strong in front of Hyōketsu.

After all, it was performed with Senjutsu Chakra. So the defensive power of this ice shield is not comparable to ordinary ice shields!

But by taking this opportunity, Deidara finally succeeded in getting the high ground and then he began to throw bombs crazily!

Boom!

Boom boom!!

Boom boom boom boom boom…

Taking inspiration from his battle with Konan, Deidara continuously used his explosive clay to create bombs on the way to the Land of Hot Water. In the ten days of travel, he made three large bags full of bombs. Plus two bags of explosive clay, it was enough for him to keep bombing until dawn!

“Hahahahaha, indeed, art is beautiful and short-lived. Only at the moment of disappearance can it be called art, hmm!”

Watching the brilliant explosions below and the sparks disappearing the next moment, Deidara was very excited and chattered on, “How about that? Isn’t my art amazing? My art is perfect and without blemish, my art is the best in the Shinobi World, I… What’s going on, hmm?”

The brilliant sparks continued to bloom and disappear, but the cold luster at the center of the sparks remained steadfast!

“Hey, little brat!”

Hyōketsu hid behind ice shields covered with cracks, and the scorching firelight, shining through the ice shields, turned his face into a glowing red. He smiled slightly and mockingly shouted, “Is this all you've got?”

“You…”

Deidara’s veins bulged, “Are you insulting my art?!”

Deidara decisively took out a white bomb in the form of a puppet. This is his latest work, the super bomb that made the villages at the border of the Land of Grass disappear without traces.

“You've successfully angered me!”

Deidara threw the puppet bomb with one hand and formed hand seal with the other, then coldly shouted, “Die under my art, Katsu!”

Hearing Deidara's tone, Hyōketsu knew this guy must have gone all out, so he immediately poured Senjutsu Chakra frantically, creating a massive ice shield adorned with intricate patterns.

At the next moment, the night sky suddenly sank as if time had stopped. Immediately after, a burst of fire and visible shockwaves exploded.

A huge red mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

Deidara quickly controlled the fat pigeon to dodge to the side.

“Now you're dead.”

Deidara laughed heartily with hands on his hips, and his eyes filled with madness, “Dying under my art is your honor, hmm.”

As for joining Abyss and so on, well, he has accidentally killed Hyōketsu.

‘It seems that this Abyss is also only this much. It doesn’t matter whether I join or not, hmm.’

“Little brat …”

At this moment, a faint voice suddenly came out from the flames that were still expanding and spreading below. The voice carried the same… disdain as before?

“Is this all?” Hyōketsu said with a sneer.

Deidara, unable to believe it, leaned over the fat pigeon to look down. His golden hair danced wildly in the burst of shockwaves.

“Why aren't you dead?” Deidara was both shocked and furious, and then he secretly gritted his teeth: ‘Sure enough, my art hasn't reached its most perfect state, hmm, it must be so!’

‘Yeah!’

“Stop hmm hmming, you little brat. Since you dare to attack me, be prepared to die! Ice Release: Ice Crystals Dragon Soaring!”

With the clear shout, two ice crystal dragons over twenty meters long broke through the red mushroom cloud, charging towards Deidara with menacingly.

Deidara hurriedly fled upon seeing this.

The fat pigeon desperately flapped its wings, flying rapidly to the left. At the same time, Deidara kept digging out the ‘stock’ from his bag, and then shouted ‘katsu’ ‘katsu’ as he threw the bombs the ice crystals dragon behind him.

Boom, boom, boom…

Every explosion shattered a small part of the ice crystal dragon's body, but with Hyōketsu’s Chakra replenishment, they quickly recovered, and even the branches on the dragons' horns were intact!

From night to day, Deidara’s three bags of boms and two bags of explosive clays were once again consumed thoroughly.

‘How could this be? Why does this happen again?!’

Deidara looked depressed. The two still vigorous and lively ice crystals dragons are still following behind Deidara, and Hyōketsu is sitting on an ice dragon while yawning. He secretly cursed the other party to run out of Chakra and fall down and die in the next moment!

“Why aren't you exploding anymore? Are you out of bombs? Is this all? Haha, then your life truly ends here!” Hyōketsu’s cold voice carried a hint of mockery.

“Wait a minute!”

Deidara secretly thought to himself: ‘I acknowledge your strength, and I am willing to join your Abyss organization!’

“Oh, you have any last words to confess?” Hyōketsu asked.

Deidara is a bit hesitant. It’s because Konan told him not to take the initiative to reveal the Abyss’s name.

“I acknowledge your strength, and I'm willing to follow you, hmm!”

Deidara said with a snort, “I am a Shinobi who owns Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai, hmm!”

“Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai?”

Hyōketsu narrowed his eyes slightly, ‘Why would this guy specifically mentioned Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai? Could it be that he wants to join Abyss?’

‘Undercover agent?’

‘Interesting!’

Hyōketsu smiled and said: “Following me is fine… It just happens that our organization is short of people.”

“What’s the name of your organization?”

Deidara feigned curiosity, but inside, he sneered again and again: ‘You fell for it, idiot, hmm!’

Hyōketsu said with serious tone: “The name of the organization, hehe, is called… Akatsuki!”

‘Huh?’

‘What's going on?’

“???”

Deidara was left with question marks all over his head.
