Deidara chuckled: "Mr. Scorpion, let me showcase the art of explosion this time too!"
Sasori of the Red Sand's low voice sounded: "As you wish, but don't make me wait too long, I don't like waiting."
"Don't worry! My art of explosion won't disappoint you!"
As Deidara spoke, he raised his hand and created a clay bird to ride on. The clay bird immediately flew above the Konoha Ninja, and white clay spiders fell like snowflakes.
Many young Genin were vigilant, but they all looked up curiously.
Tenten, however, shouted: "Those are clay bombs! Be careful!"
Clay bombs?!
Everyone was startled and quickly began to dodge. Fortunately, their quality was good, and they dodged in squad formations, orderly and quickly, without colliding or crowding.
Shino's sunglasses reflected the light. He raised his hand and released a large number of insects. When the clay spiders were still far from the ground, they quickly picked them up and flew elsewhere.
"Art is an explosion! Yeah!"
As Deidara detonated them, the spiders in the air immediately exploded, their explosive power very strong, stirring up the air above everyone's heads and significantly lowering the morale of the Genin.
Fortunately, there were still examiners present, and many of the Genin also had very high quality, so there wasn't much panic.
Deidara stood on the clay bird, revealing a proud smile.
Although he didn't hit anyone this time, this was just his debut, giving these little Konoha brats a taste of his power. He had to admit that he succeeded.
"Damn it! Take this!"
Naruto was angry and threw a shuriken into the air, but it couldn't even reach the clay bird's feet.
Shino, on the other hand, controlled his insect swarm to chase after Deidara again. At present, it seemed only Shino could attack the enemy in the air. Everyone else seemed helpless.
"Heh heh, the Aburame Clan? Your insects are no match for my clay bombs!"
While controlling the clay bird to dodge, Deidara scattered a large number of small clay spiders downwards again. He didn't believe that Shino's insects could completely block the small spiders. If even one leaked through, it would cause casualties.
However, this time, Shino didn't block the small spiders at all, but continued to control the insects to pursue the flying bird.
This surprised Deidara. He looked down and saw that the landing points of the small spiders were indeed on the heads of the Konoha Ninja. So, was he planning to give up?
"Leave it to me!"
Tenten's voice rang out. She summoned the Peacock Twin Swords.
With a swing of her twin swords, she immediately created a wind field, instantly blowing the small spiders towards Sasori of the Red Sand.
Sasori of the Red Sand didn't dodge, letting the small spiders land all around him, and the small spiders didn't explode upon landing, instead turning their heads and running towards the Konoha Ninja.
These small spiders were all controlled by Deidara, and when they exploded was also up to Deidara.
But the next second, Tenten suddenly unrolled a scroll, and then saw over a dozen Great Fireballs flying out, completely engulfing Sasori of the Red Sand and the small spiders.
Sasori of the Red Sand looked at Tenten in surprise, and decisively leaped back to evade.
Dense Great Fireballs fell, simultaneously igniting all the small spiders, and for a moment, explosions rang out non-stop.
Deidara was still dodging the swarm of insects, yet he still had time to praise, "To be able to deal with the clay spiders so quickly, not bad."
Sasori of the Red Sand, however, said with displeasure, "Deidara, you're still playing, we're not here to play."
"Alright, alright, Mr. Scorpion, I know."
Deidara also put away his playful thoughts, reaching his hands into his Ninja Tools bag and frantically eating clay. Soon, the mouth on his palm spat out a small clay dragon, which immediately expanded into a large dragon.
"Let me show you the power of C2 · Dragon!"
The giant dragon opened its mouth wide and suddenly spat out a small clay dragon downwards, like a cannonball.
In reality, the giant dragon was the cannon, and the small clay dragon was the bomb. Once the small clay dragon landed and was detonated by Deidara, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Neji immediately activated the third of the Eight Gates, The Gate of Life, and then used Rotation.
His entire body spun and bounced into the air, actually deflecting the falling small clay dragon back. If Deidara hadn't tilted his head to avoid it, he might have actually been hit by his own small clay dragon.
"The Hyuga Clan has this move? But it's useless, you can stop one, but can you keep stopping them all?"
Deidara continued to control the giant dragon, and began to prepare the second cannonball.
Below, Kiba exclaimed, "Isn't this our Inuzuka Clan's Fang Passing Fang? When did Neji copy this move?"
Hinata opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain. This move certainly looked like Fang Passing Fang.
Fortunately, Shino said something fair, "Kiba, Fang Passing Fang is Taijutsu, and it's a physical attack. But Neji is transforming Rotation's defense into an attack, which can deflect anything. They are different."
Kiba wanted to say something else, but thinking that if he and Akamaru were to use Fang Passing Fang to collide with the small clay dragon, they would definitely be blown up badly.
Compared to that, Neji's Rotation was still superior.
He had nothing more to say.
Just then, Tenten equipped the Peacock Twin Swords on both sides, and once again held Lightning Blade: Fang in her hands.
As she crossed her swords, lightning power gathered, and thunderclouds seemed to gather in the air, giving Deidara a bad feeling.
"Lightning Blade: Falling Thunder!"
Crack!
A bolt of lightning struck, hitting the giant dragon directly.
The giant dragon, which was about to launch a small clay dragon, suddenly went silent, and fell downwards uncontrollably.
Deidara couldn't hold back, "Nani! How did the Hidden Mist Village's Lightning Blade: Fang end up in the hands of a little girl like you? How dare you blaspheme my explosion art!"
Tenten smiled, "The natural enemy of your clay bombs is Lightning Release Ninjutsu, right?"
Everyone suddenly understood, and some people who could use Lightning Release Ninjutsu immediately looked eager to try.
It was clear they had been scared by Deidara just now, and now they wanted to regain face. Since the opponent's bombs were afraid of Lightning Release, what was there to be afraid of?
He could try throwing another piece of clay, and see if they wouldn't use Lightning Release Ninjutsu to extinguish it!
"You yellow-haired brat, what do you know! My art will not stop because of Lightning Release!"
Deidara was somewhat exasperated, and immediately began making spherical clay explosive tags, and then threw them all down. He didn't believe this yellow-haired brat could extinguish all the explosive tags with Lightning Release.
But Tenten was not afraid of Chakra consumption now, directly holding up her crossed swords, as if she were a goddess who could control lightning.
Bolts of lightning raged in the air, sweeping across all the explosive tags in their path. All the explosive tags immediately became duds, falling to the ground without any reaction.
"Damn yellow-haired brat!" Deidara was exasperated.
"You're the one with yellow hair! I have black hair!"
Tenten retorted, and continued to increase the lightning output. The thunderclouds in the air immediately gathered frantically. With a loud crack, Deidara and the clay bird were struck directly.
However, before everyone could be happy, the blackened Deidara suddenly turned into clay.
It was clear that this guy had already escaped using a clay clone.
