Chapter 224 C2 Dragon
Chapter 224 C2 Dragon
Deidara's gaze was fixed on Boruto, and he thought to himself: It seems that simply using a C1 chakra bomb to test Boruto's strength will not achieve the desired effect.
Boruto's abilities far exceeded Deidara's expectations, rendering the C1-level bombs, which were originally thought to be sufficient to test the opponent, ineffective. Only by using a higher level of explosive art could Boruto be effectively suppressed.
Therefore, Deidara decisively changed his strategy and decided to use the more powerful chakra-level C2 bomb to deal with the current situation.
Deidara then spread his arms and abruptly swept aside his wide Akatsuki robe, revealing two bulging satchels tied around his waist. These satchels were filled with his specially made clay, just in case.
Deidara quickly inserted his hands into his satchel, and the "mouths" in his palms began to devour the clay inside. As the clay was continuously sucked in, Deidara's palms swelled slightly.
Boruto, his eyes fixed on Deidara's every move, slowly spoke, "Your ninjutsu involves chewing a special kind of white clay with your 'mouth' and mixing it with your chakra to create various explosives, right?"
Tobi nudged Deidara with his elbow and said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Deidara-senpai, your attack method has been seen through."
Deidara curled his lip dismissively: "You're quite observant, kid, but so what if you know?"
Immediately afterward, Deidara's face revealed a haughty smile, and he confidently declared to Boruto, "You will ultimately perish in my art!"
Deidara then withdrew his hand, mixed the clay in his mouth together, and infused it with his own chakra.
As a thick cloud of smoke billowed out, a colossal dragon gradually came into Boruto's view.
Afei looked up at the giant dragon and exclaimed excitedly, "It's here! One of Senior's most masterful arts, the C2 Dragon!"
Boruto observed the dragon's structure and realized that Deidara had clearly intended to shift the battleground to the air. Without effective anti-aircraft measures, facing such a behemoth would be extremely difficult.
Deidara leaped up suddenly, landing nimbly on top of the C2 dragon's head.
Once Deidara was standing steadily on the dragon's head, he looked down at Tobi and shouted, "You should know what we're going to do next, Tobi."
Upon hearing Deidara's shout, Afei immediately understood. He nodded vigorously and excitedly replied, "Of course! Senpai, that's what we're going to do, right?"
Deidara nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Tobi's response, and his hands began to form a hand seal: "That's right, let's use that one, hmm!"
As he finished speaking, the dragon beneath Deidara began to tremble violently. Then, the dragon opened its enormous mouth and spat out many spherical objects from deep within its throat.
These spheres rolled continuously from the dragon's mouth, eventually landing at Afei's feet.
Afei bent down, picked up a few pieces of explosive clay, and said to Boruto, "Let me show you the power of your senior's pop art."
Deidara piloted C2 Dragon into the air, soaring high into the sky. Standing atop the dragon's head, facing the howling wind, he looked down at Boruto and arrogantly shouted, "Popular art is dead! Mine is super flat art!"
Boruto smiled calmly: "Is that so? Then I'd like to see what's so special about it."
As Deidara finished speaking, C2 Dragon suddenly opened its huge mouth and spewed out a small flying dragon from deep in its throat.
Although the dragon was small, it was extremely fast, making a sharp whooshing sound as it headed straight for Boruto.
Boruto sidestepped the small dragon's attack, but the dragon, under Deidara's control, made a turn in the air, adjusted its direction, and continued to pursue Boruto.
Boruto moved forward while observing the surrounding situation. He noticed that the masked man had quietly disappeared, and a dense chakra reaction was occurring in the ground around him. Therefore, the attack from the small flying dragon behind him was just a decoy.
At this moment, Tobi had already placed the clay landmines made by Deidara underground using his Earth Dragon Concealment Technique.
Deidara stood high in the sky, looking down at Boruto who was moving rapidly below, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Seeing Boruto consistently and precisely avoid the clay mines Tobi set up, he couldn't help but wonder, "Is this guy... a sensory-type ninja?"
Deidara stood atop the C2 dragon's head, a cold smile playing on his lips. He once again manipulated the giant dragon beneath him, preparing to launch a second attack.
With his command, C2 Dragon opened its huge mouth and spewed out a new small flying dragon, which rushed straight towards Boruto.
Deidara's voice echoed in the air, tinged with a hint of provocation: "So... what about the second one?"
As Boruto leaped into the air the instant the two clay dragons crossed paths, Deidara seized the opportunity and quickly detonated the two clay dragons.
With a deafening roar, the clay dragon exploded in mid-air, and the massive shockwave and flames instantly engulfed the spot where Boruto had just been standing.
The massive shockwave from the Clay Dragon's explosion not only engulfed the spot where Boruto had just been, but also triggered the landmines that Tobi had planted nearby.
With a series of muffled explosions, landmines were detonated one after another, creating a chain reaction. Thick smoke spread rapidly across the ground, engulfing the entire battlefield.
Deidara stood high in the sky, looking down at the explosion below, a smug smile on his lips. He had already foreseen Boruto being blown to pieces.
"How about it? It really wasn't a big deal after all, hmm!"
At such close range, the power of this attack was enough to blast a huge hole in the sand defense that Gaara, the Kazekage, was so proud of, not to mention that Boruto had to withstand the explosion with his bare body.
Just then, Boruto's figure suddenly burst out from the billowing smoke, leaped to the top of the tree canopy, and stood steadily on the swaying branches, looking at Deidara with a faint smile.
Deidara stared at Boruto, who had suddenly appeared, his face filled with disbelief and astonishment. He had originally thought that Boruto would at least be seriously injured or even lose his ability to move after such a fierce attack.
But when he looked closely at Boruto, he was surprised to find that Boruto was not only not seriously injured, but he didn't even have a scratch.
Ah Fei crossed his arms and nodded slightly, his tone carrying an air of expectation: "Just as I expected."
Deidara glared angrily at Tobi, who had been constantly undermining him, and finally snapped, "Tobi! Whose side are you on anyway?!"
As he casually scratched his forehead, Afei explained to the furious Deidara, "Senior, you can't entirely blame me. I was just stating the facts."
Afei felt innocent; he was merely stating the facts and had not intentionally targeted Deidara.
Although Afei appears relaxed and carefree when bickering with Deidara, he is actually quite burdened inside.
He had just witnessed Boruto's figure disappear into thin air during that violent explosion, which undoubtedly showed that Boruto had mastered space-time ninjutsu and was using it quite skillfully.
Flying Thunder God Technique... what a nostalgic ninjutsu...
Boruto stood atop the treetop, his gaze fixed on Deidara, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Is that all? Then I'll retaliate."
Deidara responded, "Then bring it on." At this moment, he had already categorized Boruto as an agile and sensory-type ninja, and he himself, standing atop the giant dragon's head in the air, held a significant advantage.
He secretly calculated that as long as he could control the distance between himself and Boruto and use his aerial advantage to wear down his opponent, victory would eventually be his.
