Chapter 296: The Duo on the Run Again.

"Speaking of which, you should hurry up and stitch my body together. You holding me like this all the time makes me feel very uncomfortable."

Hidan, who was in Kakuzu's arms, struggled a bit and said.

"Wait until we get to a safe place. If you keep struggling, be careful I'll just throw you here and leave you."

Hearing Kakuzu's threatening words, Hidan immediately became honest. If he was really thrown here, even a ferocious beast might eat him.

By then, no matter how strong his immortal body was, it wouldn't be able to resurrect after becoming a pile of feces.

"So you better run faster."

This was the last struggle Hidan made in Kakuzu's arms, to show his unyielding will as a strong person.

Deidara and Sasori of the Red Sand, who were fighting with Hatake Satoru, were incredulous and widened their eyes because the other party appeared in front of them unscathed. They had never met anyone who could still be unharmed under such a strong attack.

Whether it was before joining the Akatsuki organization or after joining, the two of them had encountered very powerful opponents. But none of the opponents could be as abnormal as this person.

Although every member of the Akatsuki organization can be described as abnormal, Hatake Satoru is definitely the most abnormal among the many abnormalities.

"Although your attacks are quite powerful, it's a pity that they have no effect on me. What are you going to do next?"

Hatake Satoru tilted his head and smiled at the two. He was also curious whether the two who had resolutely attacked him just now would continue to attack him after knowing that their attacks were useless.

"What kind of monster is this guy?"

Deidara's body involuntarily took a step back. This was a manifestation of fear of food.

"Brother Sasori, or else we should run. The two of us are not his opponents at all."

Deidara suggested in a low voice.

At this time, Sasori of the Red Sand, who had already calmed down, also had such a plan. Although he wanted to avenge his parents, he would not be so foolish as to stake his own life on it.

"Okay."

Hearing Sasori's affirmative answer, Deidara didn't waste any words. The clay instantly formed a giant bird, and the two jumped onto the giant bird and flew away.

"Do you think I will let you two leave after Letting my prey escape,?"

Just as the white giant bird was about to take off, a voice suddenly reached the ears of the two. They saw Hatake Satoru, who didn't know when he had appeared above the giant bird, staring at the two with a playful smile.

"When did he?"

The two were shocked by the sudden appearance of Hatake Satoru. Just now, they didn't see Hatake Satoru moving in their direction at all.

"But I had expected this situation to happen a long time ago, so are you planning to leave us, or are you planning to protect those two people?"

A white dot fell from the body of the giant bird. Then, with Deidara forming a seal, the inconspicuous dot instantly turned into a huge white puppet. Judging from the chakra contained within the puppet, if it exploded, everything within a kilometer radius could potentially be leveled.

At this time, Jiraiya and Naruto also noticed the huge puppet falling from above. Their faces instantly turned pale. From observing Deidara's battle just now, they already knew what the function of this puppet was. If such a big thing exploded, Jiraiya himself wasn't sure he could survive, let alone Naruto who was next to him. Unless Naruto could unleash the chakra of the Nine-Tails, they might still have a glimmer of hope.

Seeing this, Hatake Satoru's face also instantly darkened. Without thinking, Hatake Satoru directly chose to protect Jiraiya and the others.

His entire figure instantly moved in front of Jiraiya and Naruto.

Seeing Hatake Satoru appear, the hearts of the two, which had been in their throats, instantly relaxed. Just looking at Hatake Satoru's back gave them a strong sense of security, as reliable as a mountain.

"Stand quietly behind me and don't move."

Hatake Satoru's voice echoed in Jiraiya and Naruto's ears.

"Okay."

The two tightly gripped the corner of Hatake Satoru's clothes and hid behind him.

Satoru raised both hands and aimed at the white puppet. Suddenly, a dazzling white light flashed from the puppet's body. The white light grew brighter and brighter, then 'boom', the sound directly made Jiraiya and Naruto feel a ringing in their ears.

The terrifying explosion instantly engulfed the three of them. After Deidara and Sasori glanced at each other from a distance, they immediately left.

They didn't dare to see the result of the explosion. If Hatake Satoru was still unharmed, they would be in danger.

Kakuzu, who was running away, also felt a slight vibration coming from the ground.

"Is this an earthquake? No, it's Deidara's Ninjutsu."

Just thinking for a second, Kakuzu understood what caused this vibration.

"Using such a large-scale explosion, it seems that those two guys are also preparing to run away."

After analyzing for another second, Kakuzu also understood why Deidara used such a violent explosion.

He didn't think Deidara would use such a strong explosion in a normal battle. After all, such a large-scale explosion could easily hurt oneself if not careful, especially when Sasori was next to him.

Even if Sasori's real body was hiding in the puppet, this explosion was enough to seriously injure him.

Sure enough, just as Kakuzu analyzed, about a few minutes later, a shadow flashed over Kakuzu's head. Although the speed was very fast, Kakuzu could see clearly what it was.

It was Deidara's big bird. No need to think, Deidara and Sasori must be standing on it.

Kakuzu didn't blame Deidara for not taking him along. After all, they were the ones who first abandoned Deidara and the others.

The explosion lasted for nearly five minutes. After the explosion disappeared, only the ground under Hatake Satoru and Jiraiya was intact. The rest of the ground had a very smooth deep pit, and they could hardly see any green in their field of vision.

All the trees were burned in the explosion just now. This attack, although not Deidara's strongest explosion, was enough to rank in the top five.

"What a terrifying monster."

Jiraiya swallowed and muttered to himself. This scale of explosion was also the first time he had seen it.
