The footage continued.
[In the sky, Deidara stood atop his clay dragon.]
["Lightning Release — Chidori!"]
[Sasuke's lightning looked like a laser, piercing straight upward.]
[Unfortunately, just before reaching the clay dragon, it stopped.]
[Not enough range!]
[In the air, Deidara smirked smugly—just as he predicted.]
[On the ground, Sasuke frowned in surprise. "He saw through the five-kiloter limit of my Chidori Spear's range?"]
[Deidara: "That technique is Kakashi's, right? It can extend! And be thrown! Your shape transformation is pretty good!"]
["But this bomb's power isn't comparable to the previous ones!"]
["Disappear for !"]
["Tch! Dodged again?"]
["His speed really is sothing!"]
...
Konoha, Chūnin Exam Hall.
Kakashi stared at Sasuke in genuine astonishnt.
The move Sasuke used in the footage was indeed derived from his own Chidori—
But Sasuke's usage was far beyond his current level.
As expected of Sasuke—his talent was frightening.
Right now, Sasuke had only just learned the basics…
Sasuke remained expressionless, but his eyes flashed.
He had made up his mind.
After this—he would go practice imdiately.
...
Rain Country, Akatsuki Base.
"No need to watch further—victory is mine! Mm!"
Deidara's confidence soared.
As expected of himself…
As expected of his art.
"Deidara-senpai, didn't he dodge your stronger attack?"
Tobi—having been blasted away just seconds earlier—returned unhard.
Just like how Sasuke's sword strike earlier had done nothing to him.
Now, even Deidara's explosion couldn't hurt him.
Deidara Hidan everyone around them:
"???"
Deidara: I did NOT hold back!
Hidan: I've suffered Deidara's explosions myself—those things are no joke!
...
Pure Land.
[Senju Hashirama: Madaraaa! Look! Your Uchiha descendant—so short!! Hahaha!]
[Uchiha Madara: Hashirama! You're wrong!]
[Senju Hashirama: Wrong? It's right there on the screen! You still want to defend him?]
[Uchiha Madara: Hashirama! Didn't you notice Sasuke isn't just short—he's also fast!?]
[Senju Hashirama: Sasuke is not only short—but fast?!]
[Uzumaki Mito: …]
[Uchiha Izuna: …]
[Uchiha Mikoto: …]
[Uchiha Fugaku: …]
Everyone else in the Pure Land fell silent.
Hashirama and Madara truly were top-level powerhouses—their focus was forever… unique.
...
The footage continued.
["Took the bait! Mm!"]
[As Sasuke dodged backward, he suddenly stepped on a trap!]
["Hah!!"]
[Boom!]
[So far in the battle, the largest explosion erupted.]
["That's Orochimaru's Curse Mark?"]
[The smoke cleared—Sasuke stood unhard, gray wings extending from his back.]
["As expected of Orochimaru's Curse Mark—he can even grow wings."]
["He must have used the wings to jump upward and dodge the blast."]
[Crunch!]
[The previously missing Tobi erged from underground.]
["Deidara-senpai! All underground clay mines have been installed!"]
["Tobi, get far away!"]
["Yes!"]
[Tobi retreated at top speed.]
...
Rain Country, Akatsuki Base.
"Deidara-senpai! I finally figured it out!"
"That 'thing' was the trap, right?"
Tobi practically vibrated with excitent—he finally understood.
Deidara stared at him speechlessly.
"Y… Yes. Sothing like that. Mm."
He no longer knew how to evaluate this man's intelligence…
He, Deidara—would never team with this idiot again.
Never!
...
The footage continued.
[Deidara: "With that injured leg… can you dodge my aerial attacks?"]
["This next one's big!"]
["Trying to fly up and attack ? Like I'd let you!"]
["Hah!!"]
[Boom!]
[Another massive explosion shook the battlefield.]
[Clang!]
[Sasuke's Kusanagi Sword shot out of the smoke, stabbing into the ground, lightning crackling along its blade.]
["Mm! How's that? Mm!"]
[When the smoke cleared, Sasuke was down, gravely wounded, one wing broken.]
["Heh-heh-heh… you used your wings to defend yourself, but now you can't fly. With one wing missing…"]
[Far in the trees, Tobi pumped his fist. "As expected of Deidara-senpai!!"]
["I'll end you right here!"]
[Whoosh! Whoosh!]
[Two massive shuriken, guided by chakra strings, flew toward Deidara and interrupted his attack.]
["As if sothing like that could hit ! Mm!"]
["Heh—once you land, the minefield will blow off a limb or two! Mm!"]
["Mm? TH-THIS—!"]
["Using the sword I knocked away as a foothold?!"]
[Zzzzzzt!]
[This ti Sasuke's Chidori didn't fall short—C2 Dragon's wing was sliced clean off.]
[Tobi shouted: "No! The balance—!!"]
[Whoosh! Whoosh!]
[The two giant shuriken returned—]
[—and stabbed into Deidara's hands, nailing him to the falling clay dragon.]
[Tobi scread: "SENPAIII!!"]
[Deidara: "Damn it—can't… move…!"]
["Not good! Below you everything is clay mines!"]
[BOOM!!]
[BOOM!!]
[BOOM!!]
[...]
[An unprecedented chain of explosions erupted—one after another, swallowing Deidara whole.]
[Tobi wailed with grief: "Senpai!! In the end… you still blew yourself up!!!"]
["Deidara-senpai, you big idiot!!"]
...
Rain Country, Akatsuki Base.
"I got blown up… by my own mines?"
Deidara stared blankly.
Even though it was his own technique—
Those mines were still his pride!
And Tobi cried so tragically in the footage…
He…
He must really be dead, right…?
Deidara's expression collapsed completely.
