The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 508 Fireworks

The lookout post in Kumogakure instantly spotted the anomaly and, without hesitation, pulled out a warning flare and fired it forcefully into the air.

In an instant, a dazzling flame shot straight into the sky, illuminating the entire night sky.

"It's a clay bomb! Everyone be careful!" A sharp-eyed Cloud Village ninja was the first to sound the alarm.

Immediately afterwards, the other ninjas reacted and prepared to deal with this sudden crisis.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Spear!"

With three angry shouts, the three Cloud Village ninjas riding on the back of the giant eagle simultaneously unleashed powerful Lightning Release ninjutsu.

Three spears flashing with blue lightning tore through the sky, hurtling toward the rapidly falling C3-18 with lightning speed.

One of the ninjas' lightning spears was slightly off-target, and he missed his target.

However, the lightning spears of the other two ninjas accurately struck the core of the giant C3.

"boom--"

A soft explosion suddenly rang out, and C3-18 burst into an incredibly beautiful and enormous firework in the air!

Unfortunately, this beautiful sight only lasted for a short while.

Because it had been attacked by lightning, the clay bomb at its core lost its original stability.

Its explosive power was greatly reduced, by at least 80%!

Deidara was initially slightly excited because of his impending success.

It felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over my head, leaving me feeling icy cold.

He said incredulously, "The defenses are so tight..."

Despite having witnessed Sasuke's lightning release being suppressed by him in the eye technique of Chiyo, Deidara did not know this.

But that was just an illusion.

When you actually experience this situation firsthand, it's a completely different feeling.

It's important to know that in the real world, masters who are skilled in using lightning-attribute ninjutsu are extremely rare.

But who could have imagined? By sheer coincidence, almost everyone in the Hidden Cloud Village was proficient in lightning-style ninjutsu.

In reality, Deidara was still young at this time, had participated in relatively few actual battles, and lacked sufficient combat experience and coping strategies.

As a result, this meticulously planned operation ultimately turned into a farce that made a lot of noise but accomplished little, leaving him quite embarrassed.

Just then, the Cloud Village ninja riding eagles quickly flew into the air.

Faced with the current situation, Deidara did not panic.

He calmly continued to control the clay bird as it soared through the air, while constantly chewing the clay in his mouth.

As the Cloud Village ninja below drew closer, Deidara suddenly spat the chewed clay into his palm and gently rubbed it with his hand.

In an instant, countless tiny, snow-white balls appeared in his palm as if by magic.

Countless tiny, snow-white balls gathered rapidly in his palm like a tidal wave, their sheer number astonishing.

Deidara's lips curled up slightly into a smile, and then he gently swung his arm, tossing the little balls high into the air.

In an instant, these little balls of dust plummeted down towards the Hidden Cloud Village below like a torrential downpour.

The investigators from Hidden Cloud Village looked grave, for they already knew the man's true identity.

This guy is Deidara, the prized disciple of the Tsuchikage Onoki, who is skilled at using clay bombs!

A Cloud Village ninja made a decisive decision.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Net!"

As he rapidly formed hand seals, a powerful surge of lightning energy erupted from his hands.

In an instant, it transformed into a massive lightning net, enveloping the white clay lumps that were falling like raindrops.

However, something unexpected happened. Just as these white clay lumps were about to collide with the lightning net...

Suddenly, they spread out their eight slender and flexible long legs in mid-air, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into tiny and exquisite spider shapes.

At the same time, the little spider's eight slender legs collided together.

With a series of crackling sounds, the little spiders were bounced away, as if they had been given the ability to fly.

And so, like nimble sprites, the little spiders easily launched themselves from the air, skillfully avoiding the menacing lightning web.

Nevertheless, a small number of white clay lumps were unfortunately captured by the lightning net.

However, the vast majority of them successfully escaped the lightning net's restraints and continued to plummet rapidly towards the Cloud Hidden Base below.

Immediately afterwards, a series of deafening explosions rang out.

The entire Cloud Hidden Base was immediately thrown into a state of slight panic.

"Ooh!"

Deidara cheered excitedly:

"Haha, what a disappointment! I thought the Hidden Cloud Village had made thorough preparations, but it turns out it's just like this. I'm so disappointed! Hmm!"

However, Deidara was completely unaware that the Cloud Village ninjas who had been relentlessly pursuing him were actually there.

He was quietly whispering something into the communication device hidden in his ear.

Immediately afterwards, the giant eagles circling in the air suddenly seemed to receive some kind of command, and quickly moved aside to make way for each other.

In an instant, a sharp whistling sound rang out, and a dazzling yellow light suddenly flashed on the ground.

Like lightning, it sped straight towards Deidara's location.

This sudden turn of events startled Deidara. He quickly pulled up the clay bird, trying to make it rise rapidly to avoid the attack.

Despite his quick reaction, the yellow light was too fast and unfortunately grazed one of the clay bird's wings.

Deidara had a bad feeling. When he tried to control the clay bird again, he found that it had lost control and was falling straight down like an injured bird.

"How could this happen? What a miscalculation!"

Even during his fall, Deidara did not panic; he simply made a self-deprecating remark.

He remained very calm and methodically mixed the clay in his hands.

Meanwhile, the Cloud Village ninja below had already assembled.

They were on high alert, waiting for Deidara to fall from the sky so they could swarm him and capture him.

The clay bird, teetering on the brink of collapse, was about to fall into the pre-arranged encirclement.

Deidara, above, leaped from the clay bird and jumped forcefully to the side.

Deidara was also very agile in the air, and he even took the time to stomp hard on the falling clay bird.

Use this reaction force to jump further.
