Kakuzu's Conjecture

"I want to help Mr. Sasori take revenge." Deidara was not a fool after all. In his opinion, it was obviously Sasori's own fight to the death. After all, no one could force him.

"Stop." If it was someone else, Kakuzu would not be bothered to kill him. But now, Deidara was just going to die. What was the use of not having too much clay?

"You idiot, are you going to die now? Sasori is right, you are too naive. Every time, you are not prepared. What can you do with nothing but a piece of clay now?"

Kakuzu tied Deidara up with his Earth Grudge Fear, and Deidara trembled when he heard this because Sasori often said this to him in the past. He always said that he was not prepared and often screwed himself, often making him wait for a long time as a result. But now that Sasori was gone, no one was going to scold him, and no one would watch and care for him.

"I know what to do. When I am fully prepared, I will find him, but before that, I will deal with Itachi first."

"If I can't even deal with Itachi, I have no business challenging Ryoha, who was stronger than him. When I defeat one strong enemy after another and defeat them all using my art, then I will become stronger."

When Deidara thought of Itachi, who looked down on his art and even mocked his art, he became angry. In his opinion, looking for Ryoha now was no less than courting death.

Ryoha was far stronger than Itachi. The older Uchiha couldn't even hold his candles against him, let alone himself. But more importantly, he couldn't find a way to deal with Ryoha's space-time ninjutsu at the moment. If he couldn't find it, even if he could defeat Ryoha, he would not be able to kill him.

And there was also his Mangekyo Sharingan. But of course, Deidara would have to find a way to deal with the space-time ninjutsu first. It would be a waste to think about anything beyond that.

After coming back to his senses, Deidara calmly thought about what he should do. First, he had to fight Itachi. Ryoha's genjutsu and Mangekyo Sharingan were much stronger than Itachi's. If he couldn't even deal with Itachi how could he defeat Ryoha?

While he was dealing with Itachi, he had to look for a way to deal with space-time ninjutsu or make Ryoha unable to use his space-time ninjutsu for a short period of time.

"If you want to deal with Ryoha, you must have a limited method to control his space-time ninjutsu. Otherwise, you might not even be able to touch him. Moreover, although your explosion is powerful and has a wide range, can it be wider than his space-time ninjutsu?" Seeing Deidara calmed down, Kakuzu also felt relieved in his heart.

"Of course I know that! I'm s just thinking. As far as I know, he has Mangekyo, Shikotsumyaku, Nine-tails chakra, space-time ninjutsu..." Before Deidara could say anything, he was interrupted by Hidan.

"No, not only that. In the past two years, who knows how many abilities he has obtained? It is said that now he has shown another kind of Bloodline Limit."

"That is Byakugan's ability. When he was fighting with Sasori, he also used the Gentle Fist's Eight Trigrams Palm to fight against the Konoha bunch. In other words, he also has Byakugan's ability now. After more than two years, we can't figure out how many more abilities he hasn't shown.

The more Hidan spoke, the colder his heart became. Even if he was not very bright, and his body could not die, it was really chilling to go against such an enemy. At this time, he had a little experience of what Konoha was feeling about Ryoha and why Danzo went for such an extreme method to control him.

This kind of person was really dangerous, but if he could be controlled, he would be the most terrifying weapon. It would be strange if Danzo could resist the temptation.

"Kakuzu, you are old. You have lived for so long, and you were still able to escape from the hands of the First Hokage. It is said that the First Hokage can even defeat Uchiha Madara, who is very skilled in space-time Ninjutsu.

"You are from that era. Do you know how to restrain Ryoha? Don't ask for how long, if you could hold him a moment before we deal a fatal blow, it would be enough."

At this moment, Deidara deeply understood what it meant to have an experienced old folk in the team. He really was a treasure.

"Since I think this won't be news for anyone, I won't hide anything from you. In fact, it wasn't me who escaped from the hands of the First Hokage, but Hashirama himself actually didn't have any intention of keeping me there. He simply didn't chase after me when he saw me running away."

"Otherwise, why on earth do you think that with the strength to defeat all the tailed beasts and pacify the chaotic world, Hashirama wouldn't kill me? He is not a bloodthirsty person at all. On the contrary, he wouldn't kill anyone unless he had. He can be considered the kindest and most idiotic ninja I have ever seen."

It was not unreasonable for Kakuzu to say this. At that time, he didn't even have Earth Grudge Fear. It was simply impossible for him to escape from the hands of Hashirama. However, there was something fishy about it.

"No matter what, it is the greatest victory for you to survive now. No matter how mighty Hashirama is, he is already dead. So, is there anything you can do?" Deidara did not care about this. What he wanted to know the most was whether there was a way for him to deal with Ryoha's space-time ninjutsu.

"Yes, but you can't do it with your current self." Kakuzu shook his head. Back then, when he went to assassinate Hashirama, he did a very detailed investigation. Although he failed in the end, how could he not have a sense of loss after living until now?

"As long as there is a way, it is enough. As long as there is a way, there is at least a possibility." Deidara asked anxiously.

"First, you have to learn space-time ninjutsu." Kakuzu's first sentence made Deidara speechless. Of course, he knew this method, but the problem was that he did not know how to do that. Developing space-time ninjutsu required a lot of understanding and opportunities. Learning space-time ninjutsu also required a lot of opportunities and luck. The problem was Deidara, did not have them all.

"Second, after my understanding over the years, I found that space-time ninjutsu is not omnipotent. Under some circumstances, space-time ninjutsu can not be used. Otherwise, the Second Hokage who was proficient in space-time ninjutsu would not die back in the First War

"It is said that Ginkaku, Kinkaku, and their troops were continuously surrounding and attacking him in waves. Moreover, it is said that the two legendary ninjas have the precious artifacts used by the Sage. In the end, they were able to kill the Second Hokage using their overwhelming numbers. Otherwise, with the Second Hokage's strength, he would have no problem dealing with them.

"Even if he were ambushed by so many strong ninjas, he wouldn't die. Of course, there is the last one, which is the ability to interfere with the space and cause the space to fluctuate."

"In other words, if you have a powerful unique jutsu that could interfere with space and cause fluctuations in it, then before the fluctuations subsided, he wouldn't be able to use space-time ninjutsu. At least, he wouldn't be able to use space-time ninjutsu to move around.

"In fact, Kakuzu himself wasn't very clear. After all, people who didn't know space-time ninjutsu would have a hard time understanding them. The reason why he could say so much was because he had lived for so many years and had extensive knowledge. In addition to his own understanding and experience, he was able to say these things. Otherwise, the others would simply be speechless.

However, no matter what, this was only Kakuzu's hypothesis. However, if Ryoha was here, he would definitely write a word of submission to Kakuzu. He was truly worthy of being a veteran. At least half of what he said was right.
