Chapter 92 Extreme Cold Hell, The Artist's Rampage
Chapter 92 Extreme Cold Hell, The Artist's Rampage
On the back of the giant bird, Deidara stood with one hand on his hip.
"How ugly, Kisame."
Deidara's voice was filled with schadenfreude and excitement at the impending massacre.
"You fought this hard against a washed-up rogue ninja from Kirigakure? Is your Samehada rusted? Hmm!"
In the mud below, Kisame clutched his chest, seemingly injured as well, but still responded.
"Stop making sarcastic remarks, Deidara-san. This guy's time to call it a day."
"Tch, so slow and indecisive."
Deidara reached into his ninja tool pouch, his two palms chewing on the explosive clay.
"Since you can't handle it, let me clean it up! This dilapidated forest, and those eyesore guard dogs, just blow them all to smithereens! That's art! Hmm!"
With a loud shout, he then swung his arm.
"Go! C1 Clay Spider!"
Countless tiny white spiders rained down from the sky like a storm.
Although they were not large, each of them emanated chakra fluctuations.
These spiders, using their chakra, clung to the branches in mid-air, numbering in the hundreds and thousands.
Zabuza felt a sense of powerlessness as he watched this figure descend like a white grim reaper.
"Is this... Akatsuki's power?"
Zabuza gave a bitter laugh, feeling somewhat powerless to change the situation.
"Bai...run fast..."
With his last ounce of strength, he roared at the figure in black and white uniform behind him.
"Don't worry about me! Go back and tell the manager... I did my best on this deal..."
However, the figure did not move.
Bai Jingjing stood quietly in front of the guard post, looking at Zabuza, his face expressionless.
"Mr. Zabuza."
"You taught me that a tool must never stop working before it breaks down."
"and……"
Bai slowly raised his hand and unbuttoned the collar of his uniform.
"I am no longer just your tool, but also a full-time employee of the Illusion Dojo."
"The store manager said that anyone who damages public property must pay for it at the original price."
He ripped off his uniform, revealing a dark blue combat bodysuit.
The gentle and refined receptionist disappeared, and the ice-escape genius with a cursed bloodline reappeared.
"Want to blow this up? Did you get my permission?"
Deidara in the sky paused for a moment, then burst into wild laughter.
"Huh? A waiter who serves tea and water? You think you can stop my art? Don't be ridiculous! Drinking tea is fine, but playing with explosions? You're a million years too green! Hmm!"
Deidara formed a hand seal with one hand and let out a roar:
"drink!"
At his command, hundreds of clay spiders simultaneously lit up with white light, and an explosion was imminent.
Just when things were at their most critical, Bai made his move.
He knelt on one knee, placing one hand on the water's surface.
He hasn't been idle in Roy's illusion dojo these past few months.
Roy gave him a special item called the "Extreme Cold Hell Esdeath Trial Card".
Through countless cycles of life and death, he comprehended the true essence of Ice Release.
Ice is not merely a change in physical form, but a rule that freezes everything.
"Ice Release: Secret Technique..."
Ice Age: Youth Edition!
Centered on white, a deep blue storm of cold air erupted instantly, spreading in all directions along the ground and water.
The enormous lake that Kisame had created was completely frozen the moment it came into contact with this chilling energy.
But that's not the worst part.
The chill actually rose upwards along the air, and the clay spider, which was preparing to explode in mid-air, was swept by the blue chill.
Hundreds of clay spiders, turned into ice lumps, fell from the sky and shattered on the ground.
"What...what the hell is this?!"
In the sky, Deidara's smile froze on his face.
He stared wide-eyed at the duds scattered on the ground below, feeling his worldview being severely shaken.
"My art...my explosion..."
"It's...frozen?!"
For him, this was not only the breaking of his ninjutsu, but also a trampling of his artistic beliefs!
"Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!"
Deidara was so angry that he jumped up and down on the bird's back, his hair almost standing on end.
"A shark-faced face is one thing, but you, a mere waiter, dare to insult my art?!"
"Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable! Yes!"
On the ice below, Kisame was also completely bewildered.
His feet were frozen solid in the ice, up to his knees.
Samehada was frozen into a giant icicle, and no matter how much it struggled, the barbs on it could not pierce the ice.
"Hey...you're kidding, right?"
Kisame tried to move his legs, but they didn't budge.
"This level of ice release... even among the Mizuki clan back then, very few could achieve that, right?"
He turned his head and looked at the boy who was still pressing his head to the ground not far away.
Haku slowly stood up, exhaling a breath of white air. His face was somewhat pale, clearly indicating that this move had consumed a large amount of his chakra.
But he still stood in front of Zabuza, his eyes resolute.
"Zabuza-san, are you alright?"
Zabuza was completely stunned, staring at the miraculous ice and snow world around him.
"Bai...you..."
"When did you become so strong?"
"So that I can keep cooking for you," Bai said with a warm smile, "I must become stronger."
"Such a touching master-servant relationship, it's really nauseating."
The sound of Deidara gritting his teeth echoed from the sky.
The giant clay white bird did not fall due to the cold; instead, it flew even higher.
Deidara stood on the bird's back, looking down at the group below.
His eyes were filled with murderous intent; the playfulness was gone.
"Since the ground is frozen..."
Deidara pulled a scroll from his pocket and broke the seal.
A huge lump of clay appeared in his hand.
This lump of clay is different from the previous C1; it exudes a more dangerous chakra fluctuation.
"Then let's blow you and this damned village to smithereens from the sky!"
Deidara infused his chakra into the clay.
The clay began to deform and expand rapidly, eventually transforming into a winged doll.
"Feel the power of C3!"
"C3, Number 18!"
This is Deidara's strategic-level ninjutsu; once detonated, its power is enough to destroy a small village.
He didn't plan to use it so early, after all, the leader's mission was to capture the Nine-Tailed Fox.
"Damn it! If I wasn't afraid of blowing up the Nine-Tails too, I would have..."
But now, he can't care about that anymore.
His anger at the insult to his art caused him to lose his mind.
"Go! Turn this block of ice into powder! Yes!"
Deidara loosened his grip, and the giant doll plummeted towards the ice below, ignoring even his teammate Kisame below, while he himself rapidly ascended.
A terrifying shadow instantly enveloped the entire forest, even covering the distant Konoha commercial district.
"not good!"
Kisame's expression changed as he pondered to himself.
"This madman! Is he really going to detonate C3 here? We're so close, I'll get caught in the crossfire too!"
Kisame then roared at Deidara.
"Deidara! You madman! Do you want to blow me up with you?!"
Looking at the huge shadow falling overhead, Bai felt a sense of despair.
Although his Ice Release technique can freeze C1, it is completely ineffective against this kind of strategic bomb.
"Mr. Zabuza..."
Haku turned around, spread his arms, and tried to use his body to block Zabuza.
Even knowing it's meaningless.
"idiot!"
Zabuza pulled Haku behind him, using his broken body to shield him, and raised his broken sword.
"If anyone's going to die, it'll be me! There's no reason for tools to stand in my way!"
The two looked at each other and saw the resolute look in each other's eyes.
This is probably... the final moment.
Inside the Illusionary Dojo.
Roy remained seated behind the counter, the screen in front of him clearly displaying images of the forest.
The C3 doll is falling, less than 500 meters from the ground.
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Roy shook his head and put down his teacup.
"Young people these days have such short tempers."
"They want to carry out demolitions without even asking the landlords if they agree."
He glanced at Deidara laughing maniacally on the screen, and at Zabuza and Haku below, who were preparing to die.
"These two employees are not bad. Although their skills are a bit lacking, their loyalty is beyond question."
"If they just die like this, how am I, as the boss, supposed to hire people in the future?"
"and……"
Roy's gaze turned cold.
"If you blow up my shop sign, I couldn't afford to pay for it even if I sold myself."
He looked up and gazed at a corner in the shadows on the second floor.
There, a jet-black raven perched quietly on the beam, its red eyes reflecting the image on the screen.
"Itachi, the time has come. You should be nearby by now. Time to get to work."
"Don't let that mud-playing brat ruin my business."
Roy smiled knowingly.
"And while you're at it, teach him what true art really is."
The crow immediately vanished into thin air.
