Ten-Tails

"Clay birds."

"Get out of the way!" Deidara shouted anxiously, indicating that Kabuto Yakushi had already released control over his mind.

"Honestly, even after death, you still cause trouble for others," Kaguya sighed helplessly.

In the blink of an eye, the birds had surrounded Kaguya, enveloping her. The birds emitted a brilliant white light.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion echoed in the air as thick smoke billowed and fire shot skyward, throwing up clouds of dust and filling the air with the smell of gunpowder.

"Idiot, can't you dodge?" Deidara shouted angrily.

"Because I didn't think it was necessary," a beautiful girl emerged from the swirling smoke, revealing herself to be Kaguya. "I'm sorry, but your art doesn't appeal to me. Of course, if you were setting off fireworks, it might be a bit better."

"Damn it, my art is not just fireworks, it's an explosion, a blast, hmm!" Deidara retorted loudly.

"Alright, alright," Kaguya shrugged. "Let's call it an explosion then."

"You must leave now. My body is being controlled, and the next explosion is one you won't be able to withstand," Deidara shouted anxiously, his voice almost breaking.

Kaguya's delicate face froze for a moment, then she smiled. She could see that Deidara was genuinely worried about her, which warmed her heart.

Of course, she did not like Deidara but didn't dislike him either. To her, Deidara was more like a capricious younger brother—a little bit foolish, but cute.

Deidara wanted to say more, but the clay in his hand covered his mouth, and his body suddenly began to expand. The white bird had already delivered him to Kaguya's side.

"Hah!"

"Boom!" A deafening explosion shook the earth and sky as dust and smoke filled the air, and fire shot up to the heavens.

The explosion around Deidara created a massive crater, several dozen meters wide and over ten meters deep, as if a meteorite had struck.

"What is happening?" Deidara looked at his gradually reconstituting arm and said, "Why am I not dead?"

"Idiot, you're in an Edo Tensei body. Edo Tensei bodies are immortal, which means you're now a living, giant explosive clay." Emerging from the rolling smoke was a beautiful silver-haired girl, Kaguya, without a scratch on her, her clothes pristine as if untouched by smoke or fire.

"That's so lame," Deidara's face showed no sign of happiness; instead, he looked disappointed.

"What? You can self-destruct as much as you like now, isn't that good?" Kaguya asked, blinking.

"Art is the splendor of an instant; it's a fleeting flower," Deidara clenched his fist, frustrated. "But this body can't die."

"You're a hopeless case," Kaguya sighed, her mouth twisting in disdain. "You need help."

At that moment, Deidara suddenly yelled anxiously, "Quick, seal me! My body is being controlled again!"

"I have a way to kill you," Kaguya suddenly said.

Deidara was stunned, then laughed. "Even better, go ahead and kill me."

"You should know that if you do this, you will truly die," Kaguya smiled faintly. "Are you not afraid?"

"Afraid?" Deidara's face showed a hint of a smile. "Of course I'm afraid. I'm afraid that I won't have the chance to say what I want to say."

In a flash, a figure appeared before him, pressing a palm to his chest, and a bone spike pierced through his body.

"All-Killing Ash Bones."

"I'm sorry, even though I don't want to tell you, I still have to say it," Kaguya sighed. "I'm only interested in women; you were mistaken from the start."

Deidara was slightly stunned, then a small smile appeared on his lips as he chuckled. "I never expected you to like me. Liking you is my business; it has nothing to do with you."

Kaguya also gave a light laugh but said nothing more.

Deidara's body gradually disintegrated, finally dissolving into tiny specks of dust that scattered into the air with a gentle breeze.

"Being controlled is a very sad thing. Perhaps this kind of death is a relief for him," Black Zetsu Lolita, holding Kaguya's sleeve, said softly. "So, Mother, please don't be sad."

"I'm not sad," Kaguya said with a smile, patting Black Zetsu's head. "Let's go; we still have a lot to do."

Kaguya took Black Zetsu Lolita by one hand and Cat-Ear Lolita by the other, heading towards the new battlefield.

At this time, on the other side of the battlefield, the battle had reached its climax.

A gigantic humanoid creature stood on the battlefield, towering several dozen meters or even over a hundred meters high, its form slender and resembling a withered branch, making its height somewhat disproportionate, akin to the appearance of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path but equally massive. Beneath it, the Allied Shinobi Forces seemed as insignificant as ants.

Atop the giant's head stood two individuals—one with a head full of tousled hair clad in armor, and the other with short hair and a coat, identified as Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Madara.

"Controlling the Ten-Tails is becoming increasingly difficult; we need Hashirama's cells to strengthen its bindings," Uchiha Madara stated, as a white tube extended from his body, inserting into the Ten-Tails below. "Don't you want to see how powerful the Ten-Tails is in this form?"

"Then let me show them what despair truly is," Uchiha Obito said resolutely.

As soon as he spoke, a small ball of chakra began forming in the Ten-Tails' mouth, gradually compressing into a red, spherical chakra orb that radiated a sinister glow. Even from a distance, the terrifying energy within could be felt. This was the Tailed Beast Ball, one of the most powerful techniques of a Tailed Beast.

Seeing that the Tailed Beast Ball was about to be launched, Kakashi on the ground not far away watched the Ten-Tails' mouth intently, his expression grave.

"No, there's no time to use Kamui," he said, lowering his hands, which had been poised to form seals. Kakashi then turned to Akatsuchi and said, "Use Earth Style: Raising Ground."

"Right!" Akatsuchi shouted, slamming his hands onto the ground to activate the Earth Release.

The ground beneath the Ten-Tails suddenly rose, causing the Ten-Tails to lose its balance and sway, launching the Tailed Beast Ball in an unintended direction.

"Boom!"

A blinding white light flashed, illuminating the sky, and from an extremely distant location, a deafening sound could be heard. Gale-force winds swept over them, akin to a Category 12 hurricane, forcing everyone to close their eyes.

When they opened their eyes, they were stunned by the scene before them.
