Went Straight Down

"What is that?" Gaara suddenly widened his eyes and looked at No. 18 in Deidara's hand.

"Hehehe, I will use my palm to eat the clay and mix it with chakra to create a massive bomb. The No. 18 in the middle is also mixed with my strongest chakra In other words, this is the C3, a clay puppet with terrifying explosive power."

Deidara has already thought of a way to defeat Gaara. There was a loophole in Gaara's absolute defense, that is, the sand he used to attack Deidara was not returning to his sand ball. Deidara used this opportunity to attack the village below them, distracting Gaara from him.

Deidara immediately seized the moment when Gaara was distracted. A bird-shaped bomb quietly flew in front of Gaara and detonated. In the nick of time, Gaara would definitely use his sand that had been mixed with explosive clay to fill up the gap in his absolute defense, just as Deidara had imagined.

In the end, it would hit Gaara's chest - a few small spiders and clay drilled out of the sand that formed absolute defense. The tight space inside the absolute defense would be filled with concentrated explosions.

"Crap." A trace of anger flashed through Gaara's eyes. Sure enough, he immediately used his sand to block No. 18 before it fell into the village, blocking the terrifying explosion. Deidara also immediately used the bird-type bomb to attack. Gaara also controlled his sand to block it at the same time. Unfortunately, the sand was mixed with Deidara's explosive clay.

"Sure enough, it is as I expected. However, the battle is over. You are really one formidable opponent, Gaara. It is really difficult to defeat you without any tricks." After Deidara finished forming the seal, the small space within the absolute defense immediately exploded with a bang.

"Gaara!" Even Kankuro could tell that Gaara had fallen into a trap. Deidara attacked the village in order to defeat him.

"If a violent explosion occurred in such a small space. even if your body was covered in sand armor, you would not be able to withstand it." Deidara looked at the shattered sand ball. Gaara also appeared. Just as Deidara thought, his sand armor began to fall. Gaara panted heavily.

He did not pay attention to Deidara. Instead, he strangely moved away the sand on the lower side. Clearly, there was no one left in the village. Even if he did not block No. 18's attack, there would be no casualties, but he did it anyway. However, what Deidara did not notice was that Gaara had a faint sneer on his lips. He was still not defeated.

"Do you still want to protect this village with the last of your strength? If you are not distracted by the village's safety, I really can't defeat you. What a pity."

Deidara flew over and rolled Gaara up, but Deidara did not notice that the Gaara who was behind him, had actually started to turn into a pile of sand, and then flew towards his body, wrapping around him.

"How is this possible!" Deidara cried out in shock. Everything was going according to his expectations. How did Gaara become a sand clone?

"Do you really think that I don't know what you want to do? Attack the village, then you would take advantage of my distraction and defeat me in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, if you attacked me before I realized the Akatsuki's plans, you might really succeed."

"The moment you entered the village, I was already aware of your existence. After seeing your ability, I had some ninjas evacuate all the villagers while we were still fighting."

"You really thought that I was buying time for the villagers to escape, right? In the end, I'll just do what I am going to do anyway, you Akatsuki filth!" It turned out that Gaara had already prepared for the worst after knowing Deidara's abilities.

Gaara didn't know when Deidara would come in the original work. After Deidara came, he hurriedly accepted his challenge. He didn't have time to order the people of the village to evacuate. In the end, in the battle, even if he knew that this was a trap, he could only protect the village. Deidara took the opportunity to his advantage.

But now, Gaara had plenty of time to prepare. He had already prepared to give up his life from the time they started fighting. He didn't need to worry about the village at all. As for protecting the village just now, it was just a cover. A cover for a scheme. He knew what Deidara wanted to do when he saw Deidara take out his No. 18 to attack the village.

As a result, he had already used his sand clone to replace his original body. Just now, after the explosion of No. 18, the sand in the sky was not moved away by the sand clone. The sand clone was just an act. The real thing that moved the sand away was the original body of Gaara, who was already hidden on the side.

It was because Gaara knew in advance that the Akatsuki would come after him. A little time difference had already caused such a big change. Sure enough, the future was full of unknowns and was unpredictable.

"Then the battle can end, Giant Sand Burial!" Gaara's cold voice spread throughout the sky. His sand immediately surrounded Deidara. Waves of sand continuously pressed against Deidara's body.

"Rumble!"

Just at this moment, when everyone thought that Deidara would be killed, Deidara, who was buried by the sandstorm, actually exploded. The power was so strong that even the sand was blown away.

"Detonate!" Deidara appeared below. At this time, there was another owl under his feet, but his tattered appearance was very miserable. It was clear that he just used his last clay. One was used to escape, and the other was used to deceive the enemy. He didn't expect to use both of them here.

"No way, he is too tenacious." Baki was stunned. He did not expect that his former student had already reached this stage. Moreover, his opponent was also very tenacious. He originally thought that Gaara had been killed, but in the end, it was a sand clone. Now, he thought that Gaara was going to kill Deidara, but in the end, it was another clone.

"I really didn't expect that One-tail's Jinchuuriki would be so strong. Moreover, from the looks of it, he seemed to have known beforehand that we would come to find him during this period of time. Unexpectedly, all the villagers secretly moved away. I originally thought that he would fall into my trap, but I didn't expect that I would fall into his trap instead. I am so angry!"

Deidara was so depressed that he almost went berserk. He just failed to get Gaara on his trap. He originally thought that he was going to succeed, but he didn't expect that not only did he fail, but he was also defeated by Gaara.

"It seems that I can only let Mr. Sasori take action. Sigh, this time, I was a bit too hasty and underestimated One-tail's jinchuuriki. Originally, I thought that the Tailed Beast with the most tail would be the most powerful among the nine Tailed Beasts. I didn't expect that this Jinchuuriki's individual strength was actually so powerful. I think that even if he is compared to other Jinchuuriki, he is still standing at the front."
