Chapter 38: A Gift from a Good Friend
Because the meteorite was on fire, its scale wasn't on par with Madara Uchiha's Heavenly Meteor, and when it hit the ground, it was slightly larger than a Tailed Beast Ball.
The area covered by the mushroom cloud was not as wide as the area of two Heavenly Meteors' effects.
However, the high-temperature shock wave generated by the meteorite explosion was more devastating than the destructive power of the Heavenly Meteor, and its power was matching the energy explosion's Tailed Beast Ball.
Once the mushroom cloud vanished, the mountain where Deidara and Sasori of the Red Sand were standing had been blown off.
The mountain they were hiding in was much larger than the surrounding hills, so only a small part of it was blown off.
In the mountains, there was a huge meteorite crater.
There was nothing but endless debris, high-heat scorching, and lava fragments left on the ground from the meteorite.
"Art, this is pure art!"
The tremor had just stopped. Deidara, unharmed in the protection of the mountain and the iron ball, had come out of the black ball, created a clay bird, and was soaring in the air looking down at the scene below.
He was such a fanatic that he could not wait to explode himself there and then to match Izayoi.
"Fool, come down here immediately."
Sasori of the Red Sand's rebuking voice came from below.
"Not bad, you actually survived unharmed."
A strange voice entered the ears of the two at this moment.
Izayoi's figure once more loomed over Deidara.
Deidara, who had heard this voice, immediately looked up in surprise and asked pointlessly, "Hey, don't you also think that the beauty of an instant is the real art?"
"Are you talking about explosions?"
Unlike others who did not understand or looked down upon, Izayoi nodded his head and answered very seriously, "Explosions are indeed exceedingly beautiful, and they are powerful beauty, the more powerful the more beautiful. The reason why Tailed Beasts and Jinchuriki are so feared is precisely because they are able to use the great Tailed Beast Ball of explosions."
"Right, right."
Deidara exclaimed excitedly, "Sure enough, explosions are art! Brother Sasori, look, my art has been appreciated."
"Idiot, that man is an enemy." Sasori of the Red Sand rebuked again, not forgetting to affirm his art, "And eternal beauty is the true art."
"No, it's the beauty of a moment!"
"It's eternal beauty!"
"..."
For some time, the two battled in the air and on the ground.
Izayoi did not interfere with them either, but crossed his arms and watched this spectacle with interest.
"Humph, I won't speak to you."
At last, Deidara, who was sixteen this year, impatiently ended the argument.
He first snorted with his head averted, then looked at Izayoi and said warmly, "Brother, you understand art so well, do you want to join our organization?"
Rarely encountering a person with the same hobbies, Deidara wanted to recruit Izayoi.
"Oh? What organization are you?" Izayoi smiled jokingly.
"We are."
Deidara was about to reply when he heard Sasori of the Red Sand's scolding in his ears, "Shut up! Deidara, you want to die?"
Hearing that, Deidara seemed to remember something and had to stop his next words.
But he still said to Izayoi, "Brother, if you join us, I'll tell you."
"Forget about joining your organization, but being friends is all right."
Izayoi looked down at Red Sand Sasori and said, "I've already given you a greeting gift from a friend. As a gift in return, can you give me your puppet technique and human puppet-making method?"
"Is this why you came looking for me?" Sasori of the Red Sand replied in a low tone, but he was rather secretly pleased in his heart.
It seems like this man still understands art.
Although he is a bit of a playboy. He clearly adores his immortal art, yet he still gives Deidara's explosive art such a high mark.
"Not bad."
Of course, Izayoi had no idea what the Red Sand's Sasori was thinking.
He nodded and was poised to act at any time.
"Brother, why do you require Brother Sasori's puppet arts? Those are not arts at all. Why don't you learn Explosion Release from me. um!" Deidara said.
Just as Deidara finished speaking, the voice of Sasori of the Red Sand was heard, "Okay, I'll give it to you."
"?"
A question mark was formed on Izayoi's forehead under the mask.
So easy?
He looked so stern that he felt he was resisting and was going to battle.
Suddenly, Izayoi as if recalled something and suddenly realized in his heart.
He almost forgot that Sasori of the Red Sand's main body had also become a human puppet.
"Thank you."
Izayoi was also happy to get what he wanted so easily.
Izayoi's first idea was to kill Sasori of the Red Sand, take his inheritance, and even turn him into a wireless puppet army member.
However, when he was admiring the explosion a moment ago, Izayoi took a look at the tags on Sasori of the Red Sand, and gave up on this idea.
[Puppet Master (purple)]
[Kage-level Aptitude (purple)]
[Chakra Control (purple)]
In this world where there is no hope of Super Kage level without becoming involved with the Otsutsuki clan, and even if you have the power above the Kage level, you have to pay the price of life, the purple tag is the highest level tag that every genius can achieve.
And the purple tag is at the level of the Kage.
There are too few Kage-level experts in this era.
There are even fewer Kage-level powerhouses with three purple tags like Sasori of the Red Sand.
Deidara next to him only has two purple tags, Bloodline Limit Explosion Release (purple) and Kage-level Aptitude (purple).
But nobody is born a puppet master, at most they are only a genius (blue) like Izayoi.
Sasori of the Red Sand definitely made himself a human puppet and played his fate against the sky, which made the puppet genius (blue) a puppet master (purple).
It would be a shame to kill off a talent like this.
It needs to be like Sasuke Uchiha, shearing wool repeatedly.
When Izayoi's Tenseigan completes the final evolution, he wants to transcend, he has to upgrade the Otsutsuki bloodline, which requires a huge amount of points.
A decomposed purple tag is a random four-digit point.
Since he did not die in the greeting gift before, Izayoi did not bother to release the authors.
Although they were in a rush, Deidara's C4 Karura and C0 Self-Destruction can pose a danger to Izayoi.
But their power has yet to reach the Super Kage level.
Unless you are a Super Kage level player, you are still in the "ninja battles are intelligence battles" range.
As a time traveler, Izayoi is far too used to their intellect.
The two of them do not know anything about Izayoi.
Perhaps due to this, Sasori of the Red Sand agreed so easily.
Else, if a passerby stepped out and desired him to relinquish the puppet technique along with the art of making human puppets, if the Red Sand Sasori was in a good mood, he would reward him by turning him into a member of the puppet army.
If he was in a good mood, it would be a red rose, or a head pat with his tail, and then the body would be buried.
"Here you are."
Sasori of the Red Sand took out three scrolls, rolled them up with his iron tail, and threw them over to Deidara in the air.
As for the reason why he didn't throw them at Izayoi, it was just too high.
Before Deidara could land and catch it, Izayoi opened his hand.
The invisible gravity immediately stopped the flying scroll and then floated slowly in the air.
"This is. All-Direction Attraction?!"
Deidara and Sasori of the Red Sand's main body changed their faces and looked at Izayoi in surprise after witnessing this scene.
Foolish Deidara even asked tentatively, "Leader?"
This fool!
Sasori of the Red Sand's heart felt helplessness.
As expected.
All-Direction Attraction? Nice jutsu name. Your boss, can he utilize gravity as well?" Izayoi asked with great interest.
"Oops!"
Deidara quickly covered his mouth, achieving the feat of kissing himself.
The scroll did not fly towards Izayoi but stopped in mid-air more than ten meters away.
Izayoi flicked his finger lightly, and the scroll naturally unfolded.
No poisonous gas was released, so Izayoi used the Tenseigan's farsightedness to analyze it boldly.
After a couple of glances, Izayoi nodded and sucked the scroll in.
Then he glanced down at Deidara and Sasori of the Red Sand below him and waved goodbye, "Thanks for the gift, see you next time, my friend."
With that, Izayoi flew off.
Looking at his retreat behind him, Sasori of the Red Sand, who was ready to fight to death in case the other turned his back, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the other side retreating and meteorite, Sasori of the Red Sand realized that this was the one to keep him at bay.
If it were not for Deidara, he would have escaped while the smoke had not cleared.
Seeing the other party use the leader's ability again, Sasori of the Red Sand had a more desperate feeling of not being able to win.
Fortunately, the other party had no intention of killing.
It's just that this feeling of being robbed and almost killed is such an aggrieved feeling!
