Everyone looked up.
Deidara was seen flying quickly on a giant bird.
Along the way, countless spider clay bombs rained down.
Boom!
Explosions echoed.
Gaara quickly spread his hands, controlling sand to shield everyone overhead.
Only when he flew above Tobi did Deidara jump off the giant bird.
"Tobi, why didn't you call me!"
Deidara said with a look of displeasure.
Tobi didn't speak, his thoughts unknown.
On the rooftop, Onoki spotted Deidara's figure. "That kid, he actually came!"
"Tsunade, quickly tell Might Guy to stop, I'll go down myself and capture Deidara!"
Tsunade nodded slightly, took a step forward, and shouted loudly at the golden Might Guy, "Guy, stop attacking for now!"
Might Guy frowned, and the red light in his hand instantly dissipated with the wind and sand.
Onoki, with his hands behind his back, slowly flew before the two. "Deidara, come back with me now. I can overlook your past."
"Otherwise, don't blame this old man for being ruthless today!"
Deidara let out a disdainful cold laugh. "Forget it, old man. I won't go back with you."
Saying that, Deidara turned to look at Tobi. "The situation is not suitable for fighting today. Why don't we break out first!"
"With my skills, it's easy to get you out. Tobi, you..."
"Noisy!" A cold voice suddenly came from under the mask.
At this moment, Deidara froze.
"I'm here to capture the Tailed Beasts today. If you're scared, you can leave on your own," Tobi said, then leaped onto the rooftop.
"Quick, follow!" A large number of ninjas closely pursued him.
Deidara stood still, feeling as if something was lost in his heart.
He used to detest Tobi's nagging, but now it seemed he was the one who was being the most verbose…
Onoki looked at Deidara teasingly. "How about it? Don't follow them anymore."
"Shut up!" Deidara suddenly shouted at Onoki.
Onoki's brow furrowed slightly. "Are you still determined to go against the alliance of the five great nations?"
Deidara lowered his head and trembled as he laughed. "Do you really think the Akatsuki are all heartless demons?!"
This statement stunned everyone present.
"We each pursue our own art, our faith, even peace!"
"Everyone fears us because we were labeled as madmen from the start!"
"In comparison, I think we are more qualified to perfect this world that has lost all meaning!"
After speaking, Deidara quickly threw a C3 from his hand.
Onoki and the others were immediately alarmed. "Be careful! Everyone, get out of the way!"
Gaara, with the fastest speed, wrapped the sand around the C3.
But it was still too late.
Boom!
A massive mushroom cloud slowly rose, even engulfing the surrounding Five Kage Summit building in the explosion.
The fierce wind, along with the power of the bombs, lingered in the sky.
The blinding light flashed and vanished.
Onoki moved a boulder and climbed out with difficulty. "Bastard..."
Beside him, the Raikage also moved a stone and stood up. "If you can't bring yourself to do it, next time I'll kill him myself!"
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"
*Poof!*
A puff of white smoke appeared.
Tsunade's summoning beast, Katsuyu, appeared.
A huge crater was blasted into the ground, and countless people lay on the ground, severely injured.
"Shizune, notify the Leaf Medical Unit to depart immediately!"
"Transfer the injured at the scene to the makeshift housing!"
At this moment.
Tobi had arrived at the entrance of the special building where the jinchuriki were kept.
"Tobi! Wait for me!"
Deidara's voice suddenly came from behind.
Tobi let out a cold snort and continued walking forward.
Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky and blocked their path.
"Stop."
Deidara, who had caught up, widened his eyes in surprise when he saw the person before him. "Scorpion... Brother Scorpion?!"
Tobi's brow also furrowed beneath his mask.
He had seen Scorpion killed that day.
Now, he was standing before him alive.
Tobi glanced at the forehead protector on Deidara's head and shook his head. "You returned to Sunagakure. Did Sunagakure save you?"
Scorpion slowly took a scroll from his waist and placed it on the ground. "It was my grandmother..."
"Wait, Brother Scorpion, Tobi."
"What are you two talking about?!"
Deidara's mind was in chaos, watching the two before him.
"Deidara, this doesn't concern you. This is between him and me. Just watch from the side."
Scorpion formed hand seals and slammed them onto the scroll.
In the white smoke, the Third Kazekage and crows appeared simultaneously.
"You want to fight me?"
Tobi said calmly, looking at Scorpion.
"If you hadn't killed me back then, Grandmother Chiyo wouldn't have sacrificed her life to save me."
"I was always rebellious. I lost my parents, and now I've lost my only remaining family."
"For this, I've prepared for a long time, and this is the last thought I have. Fulfill it for me."
Scorpion spread his hands, and blue chakra threads connected to the two puppets before him.
Seeing that Scorpion was ready to fight, Tobi stopped wasting words and charged forward with agile steps.
"Then let's begin!"
Scorpion rapidly moved his chakra threads, and the Third Kazekage's right hand suddenly produced a sharp long sword.
The moment Tobi got close, Scorpion controlled the Third Kazekage to swing his sword and attack.
Tobi didn't dodge. His body instantly phased out, and he walked straight through, letting the long sword cut through him.
"Magnet Release!"
Scorpion was waiting for this opportunity. Tobi suddenly looked up and saw a massive triangular pyramid rapidly falling towards him.
"Iron Sand Pyramid!"
Tobi's body phased out again, and he leaped backward simultaneously.
Scorpion's lips curled up. "Kuroari!"
A puppet resembling an ant attacked Tobi from behind with extreme speed.
Tobi, having just used his phasing ability, didn't expect to be ambushed by the suddenly appearing Kuroari.
Recalling how Scorpion had released the puppets earlier, the third one was hidden behind one of the puppets.
"Interesting..."
"It seems you've put a lot of effort into dealing with me..."
"Perhaps... I should compliment you..."
Kuroari locked Tobi tightly.
Scorpion shouted, "Ninjutsu: Karakuri Ippatsu!"
Countless blades instantly inserted into Kuroari's slots.
Deidara, standing nearby, was dumbfounded. "This... Tobi... is dead?!"
"Impossible..."
"Tobi!"
Deidara roared and ran over.
Scorpion's brow furrowed, and he controlled the Third Kazekage to charge at Deidara.
At this moment, a masked figure suddenly appeared behind Scorpion. "What a shame..."
"Although you were meticulous in your planning..."
"You still forgot one of my abilities..."
"I can transfer myself, or transfer anything that poses a danger to me..."
*Swoosh.*
Scorpion trembled as he looked at his chest.
The poisonous blade he had prepared for Tobi was now piercing through his chest.
Scorpion spat out a mouthful of blood, then smiled bitterly.
Looking at Deidara before him, he wanted to say something, but the poison had already begun to take effect with his blood.
