Chapter 314 Deidara VS Gaara

Chapter 314 Deidara VS Gaara

After eliminating the sentry, Deidara leaped down from the giant bird.

"Hey~! Is that all? Sunagakure is just so-so."

Deidara scoffed at Sunagakure, questioning why it was ranked among the Five Great Hidden Villages alongside other villages.

The defenses were far too weak; they were breached so easily.

"You underestimate Sunagakure to such an extent. Whatever your purpose may be, this is the end of it."

"what?"

Upon arriving and looking up, I saw a very arrogant guy.

With red hair, a huge gourd on his back, and a big "love" character on his forehead.

According to the intelligence, the guy in front of them is their target this time, Gaara, the Jinchuriki of Sunagakure.

Deidara didn't say much, but simply reached for his ninja tool pouch.

His obvious actions clearly did not escape Gaara's notice. With a wave of his hand, the yellow sand transformed into a giant hand and grabbed directly at Deida.

However, Deidara's reaction was equally strong. He leaped into the air, and a large white clay bird flew over and caught him steadily.

"Humph!"

With a wave of his hand, Gaara unleashed a giant sand hand that soared into the air and reached for Deidara.

As the giant sand hand continued to fly towards him, Deidara quickly rose higher, but Gaara did not give up easily.

Deidara had a sudden inspiration and quickly swooped down towards Sunagakure, disappearing directly into the buildings.

He planned to use the complex terrain of Sunagakure to shake off Gaara's Sand Hand.

Sure enough, after entering the village, Gaara slowed down the speed at which he manipulated the Sand Hand, as he was worried about the buildings in the village.

They were afraid that if they weren't careful, they might not catch the person and instead damage the house.

However, Gaara had a countermeasure: he directly manipulated the sand with both hands, instantly increasing his agility and speed.

Seeing that his strategy had failed, Deidara surged again, soaring straight into the sky.

This time, he intends to test the limits of Gaara's sand control.

As the altitude continued to rise, and the Sand Village below grew smaller and farther away, soon to be out of Gaara's attack range, Gaara stopped pretending and summoned a cloud of yellow sand that carried him into the air.

"Tch, this guy's ability is really convenient."

Deidara decided to stop running altogether, knowing that continuing would be pointless.

The two faced off in the air, and he asked curiously.

"Hey, redhead, how did you spot me? None of your sentries noticed me."

Gaara remained calm, and when the other party took the initiative to talk to him, he answered truthfully.

"Your bird has exposed you; there is no bird like you in our desert."

"Ah, so that's why I was exposed? Oh dear, what a surprise. My bird-like appearance is quite common in my hometown. I thought it was everywhere."

Just as the two were facing off, the sentry changing shifts discovered his comrade's death and also spotted the two men locked in a standoff in the air.

Realizing something was wrong, they immediately sounded the alarm.

The entire Sand Village was in an uproar, and the Sand Village ninjas rushed out of their houses and saw the two people in the air.

Meanwhile, the Konoha group responsible for the negotiations also came outside the inn.

Naruto looked up at the sky.

"Ah! That's Gaara, and a strange guy riding a giant bird!"

Kakashi, standing to the side, pulled back his headband, revealing his Sharingan. Relying on the Sharingan's extraordinary vision, he clearly saw who was confronting Gaara.

"A black robe with red clouds, those are members of the Akatsuki!"

"The Akatsuki?"

Naruto squinted and pinched his chin, feeling like he'd heard of this organization somewhere before.

He quickly realized what was happening.

"Ah, I remember now. The perverted sage once told me that the Akatsuki organization is the same organization that Orochimaru used to be in!"

But aren't they a group of mercenaries? Why are they in Sunagakure?

Looking down at the restless Sand Village from the sky, Deidara knew that his infiltration plan had completely failed.

But it doesn't matter anyway, since the purpose of infiltrating is to find the Jinchuriki, and once I find the Jinchuriki, I will still fight him.

Now that I've found my target, I might as well take action.

Seeing Deidara's smiling face, showing no panic or attempt to run away, Gaara knew that a great battle was inevitable.

As a skilled ninja, one should strike first.

Gaara waved his hands, and countless grains of sand shot into the sky from the ground of Sunagakure, forming a massive sand waterfall in mid-air.

Gaara reached out and grabbed at Deidara, and a giant hand stretched out from the sandfall and grabbed at Deidara.

"Too slow! Too slow!"

Deidara laughed and easily dodged the giant hand by maneuvering his clay bird.

Although there was more sand, the speed slowed down significantly.

"Now, it's my turn!"

Deidara flicked his hand and threw out several clumps of clay, which turned into small birds in the air and flew towards Gaara.

Although Gaara didn't know what it was, he still manipulated the sand to block the birds.

"Bang bang~!"

With several explosions, a gap was blasted open in the yellow sand that Gaara was controlling.

"This guy's ability is to manipulate those strange things to create explosions!"

"I understand. Is this roughly the level of defensive capability?"

Deidara roughly assessed Gaara's defensive capabilities and immediately unleashed two more clay birds.

"Whoosh!"

Birds streaked through the air, emitting sharp whistles. But it wasn't the birds screaming; it was the sonic booms produced by their high-speed movement cutting through the air.

Gaara manipulates his two large, sandy hands to try and catch a bird, but he can't keep up with its speed at all.

Two birds flew through Gaara's defenses and came to stand in front of him.

Deidara grinned smugly and formed a hand seal.

"Crunch!"

"Bang~ Bang—!"

A massive explosion cloud instantly appeared in the sky.

Gaara!

Kankuro's heart leaped into his throat as he watched Gaara being engulfed by the explosion.

As the smoke cleared, a giant sand sphere appeared in the sky.

"Did he defend against it? He managed to defend against that kind of attack. He's pretty good."

Just as Deidara was feeling sentimental, a dark shadow suddenly blocked out the moonlight.

A massive sand waterfall appeared silently behind him and lunged directly at Deidara.

"when!"

Deidara immediately began to accelerate and dodge.

But the sand dunes were so vast that he couldn't escape them at all, and soon all his escape routes were blocked.

"Sand Binding Prison!"

The yellow sand gathered and sealed Deidara away, turning him into a giant sand ball suspended in the sky.
