Some things, once they happen for the first time, will never stop happening a second time, a third time, or even countless times. Gradually, people will become dependent on them and unable to extricate themselves.
"The evil deeds of playing with life will be punished one day, and maybe one day I will fall! The only reason I can defend myself now is that I had to do it in order to survive..."
Even though Mizuki felt a little ashamed and uneasy, he had no intention of giving up halfway. Seeing Hyuga Hiashi and Gaara break out of the siege and return to the team, Mizuki did not hesitate, and the chakra generated by Uchiha Sasuke's curse seal was directly injected into his clone...
"What is this?" Hinata Ke, who was closest to him, looked at Mizuki's strange movements and asked in confusion, "The feeling of this chakra seems to make people feel very disgusted..."
A mass that looked like an animal's body was sealed with several seals. This cautious and cautious approach obviously made people feel that it was unusual. After the purple-black chakra was introduced, the body that seemed to have been dead for a long time immediately came back to life.
Then, Shuimu carefully unsealed the seal. The moment the seal was opened, he could clearly feel the revived body beating rhythmically near the heart in the left chest, and the beating speed was getting faster and faster.
"How could this happen?" Looking at this strange mass of things, Hinata Ke's hesitant expression became more and more intense, "Shuimu, what do you want to do?"
"Just be patient." Shuimu replied with a chuckle. If Shuimu was still a little uneasy before the implementation, now that he had started the action, there was no turning back, and his uneasy heart was finally put at ease.
"How can we feel at ease?" Hinata asked anxiously, "This kind of thing is obviously not normal..."
Anyone who is not a fool can see with the naked eye that with the injection of that strange chakra, this small human-shaped body, densely packed with curse marks appeared all over the body, and finally the curse marks all over the body were connected into one piece, and then a strange energy seemed to be born out of thin air, and then was absorbed into the body, and finally the human-shaped creature was seen growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Shuimu." The situation was obviously abnormal and it was obviously not something that could be easily brushed aside. Hinata Ke grabbed Shuimu and said, "You need to give us an explanation."
As the human body grew, the clone, which had absorbed enough natural energy, began to emit strange chakras. Others might not understand it very well, but under the observation of the Byakugan, this disturbing aura could not be concealed at all.
"What's going on?" In this dispute, Yuhi Kurenai and Temari couldn't turn a blind eye. Hyuga Hiashi and Gaara, who caught up from behind, were also surprised by the thing in front of Mizuki. Any strong man with a little vision would not fail to notice the danger.
"It's almost dawn..." Shuimu said, answering the question irrelevantly. Then, in the puzzled eyes of everyone, he pointed to the distance and said, "Do you see that white owl?"
"Who is that?" Following the direction pointed by Mizuki, Hyuga Hiashi was the first to discover the problem, "Is that Deidara? Has he recovered? So quickly..."
Among the people present, Gaara and Temari were the only ones with less experience. The others were all excellent ninjas who had experienced many battles. They would certainly understand how desperate the opponent would be when they had the advantage in the air during the escape. It was simply a fantasy to expect that two legs could outrun those flying in the sky, unless Deidara deliberately let them go.
"What does this have to do with this thing you took out?"
"If you don't want to abandon Gaara..." Mizuki said in a deep voice, "Does everyone have any other ideas?"
This question left everyone speechless. In such an unfavorable battle situation, reinforcements could not be counted on for the time being, and a feeling of despair had already struck everyone's hearts.
"If this is useful..." Having said this, Hinata Hiashi hesitated to speak, looking at the humanoid creature whose appearance was gradually changing with some embarrassment.
"Don't worry, leave everything to me." Shuimu said seriously, "This is not some strange human experiment, but a real man-made product..."
"If that's the case, that's the best..." After hearing Mizuki's explanation, Hyuga Hiashi also breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since Orochimaru used ninjas from the same village for experiments, people who do similar things will never be accepted by the villagers of Konoha. Even if there are reasons, they can't overcome the painful memories that Orochimaru brought to Konoha, especially after Orochimaru implemented the Konoha collapse plan, killed the third Hokage, and caused huge casualties to the village. If the news about Mizuki's human experiments was exposed, it would definitely not end well.
"Although it is indeed a man-made product, it does not mean that it is not a living being..."
Even though an explanation was given to Hinata Hiashi, it didn't mean that Mizuki would let go of the guilt in his heart.
Looking at the humanoid creature in front of him, which had grown to the height of a half-grown boy, floating in the air strangely without anything to support it. The two horns on its head were difficult to hide, and even the wildly growing hair could not hide it. Moreover, the sickly complexion that had been exposed to the sun for a long time was gradually showing a hint of redness. However, the ends of its limbs began to shrink, and gradually, the fingertips began to turn into wisps of black ash and fell to the ground...
"Almost done, let's go..."
Looking at Deidara and Scorpion who were quickly approaching not far away, Mizuki suggested to Hinata Hiashi.
"What?" Hinata Hiashi asked curiously, "Just leave it here and ignore it?"
"No need, and I can't control it..."
Regardless of success or failure, it will die soon. At present, Shuimu can't think of any way to save it. And it's too dangerous to get too close. If it really is targeted, how will it deal with itself, the "creator", is really hard to say.
"Okay." Hyuga Hiashi nodded. Since Mizuki himself said it was okay, it didn't matter. It was just an attempt anyway and would not affect everyone's retreat plan. Although the aura emitted by this thing was becoming more and more weird, when thinking about the unstoppable strength of the Red Sand Scorpion on the opposite side, plus the amazing destructive power of Deidara, Hyuga Hiashi did not dare to hold too much hope as to whether it would work in the end.
"Let's give it a try..."
After abandoning the strange clone floating in the air, the six people began to flee again quickly.
After a while, Deidara riding on an owl arrived at the place where the Konoha group had stayed for a short time. With his extremely fast flying speed, he even arrived earlier than Scorpion of the Red Sand.
"Hmm? What is that?" Deidara, who was chasing enthusiastically, suddenly found the strange clone of Uchiha Sasuke below. "It doesn't look like a good thing, but, under my art, it will be smashed to pieces..."
No matter how strange something is, in Deidara's eyes, it is absolutely impossible to block his explosion art. I saw more than a dozen explosive clays being thrown down from the sky by Deidara, and the clones below had no intention of moving, and were directly hit, and then exploded at close range.
"Are you scared? There are idiots who don't even try to avoid me?"
The clone's reaction was beyond Deidara's expectation. However, Deidara was not too worried. With such a dense explosion, even if he had the means, he would most likely be blown to pieces.
Unfortunately, things were not as simple as Deidara thought. After the explosion, the clone was revealed intact.
"how so?"
The fact that someone could be hit directly by an explosion of such great power without any attempt to dodge and yet remain unharmed was beyond Redidara's comprehension.
"What's wrong, Deidara, have you done something stupid again, you idiot?" The one who spoke was Scorpion of the Red Sand who arrived shortly afterwards.
"Brother Scorpion, look at that?" Deidara looked embarrassed, with his hair disheveled and burnt into pieces on his head. He no longer had the arrogance he had before. After making mistakes again and again, the dejected Deidara no longer had the intention of competing with Scorpion at this time.
Scorpion, who had no intention of arguing with Deidara for the time being, also looked in the direction of Deidara's finger.
"Hey, what is that?" Even Deidara, who was as calm as water, couldn't help but be stunned. The aura emitted by that ghost thing below was getting higher and higher, and the oppressive feeling was simply unbelievable.
"What should we do, Brother Scorpion, should we go around it?" Deidara, who has always been flamboyant, did not dare to be careless in the face of such a scene, for fear of capsizing again. If so, he would never be able to raise his head in the "Akatsuki" organization again.
"No..." said Scorpion of the Red Sand calmly. Such a strange thing seemed to be a very good puppet material.
"Besides, it's too late to take a detour..."
I saw that the whole body was emitting waves of power, which repelled everything around it, allowing the clone to float in the air without any support. Moreover, Deidara's ridiculously strong explosive attack was easily blocked and did not cause any damage to the clone.
"Let's get out of here quickly, Brother Scorpion~" Deidara said uneasily. The waves of terrifying fluctuations that were impossible to face seemed to be something that could not be handled by human power at all.
"Don't worry, Deidara!" Scorpion rejected Deidara's suggestion again, "Watch that thing carefully, it's going to die soon~"
The clone's body was collapsing faster and faster. More than half of its hands and feet had disappeared. At this rate, the torso would soon collapse.
I don't know whether it was because of his great skill and courage or because of his ignorance and fearlessness, but when Deidara and Scorpion were standing not far away and watching the clone's mutation continue to deepen, finally, a thrilling aura seemed to descend from the sky and landed on the clone's collapsing body. At the same time, the eyes that were originally closed suddenly opened, and then the aura around it suddenly shrank, and the repulsive waves that were wrapped around its body also weakened.
"It's at this time..."
Having seen the opportunity, Scorpion of the Red Sand didn't want to wait any longer. From just now until now, the clone's body has never stopped collapsing, and now it is almost extending to the chest. If it continues like this, it will turn into a ball of useless black ash.
I saw several puppets with extremely fast speeds rushing to the clone in a blink of an eye, and several long swords pierced through the clone's body. The clone, who had just opened his eyes to see this world, was shocked. Originally, when his consciousness was blurred, his body could still instinctively emit strength to resist damage, but now that he was completely awake, the clone, who had no control ability at all, showed a flaw and was stabbed into a hedgehog by the puppets controlled by the Red Sand Scorpion in a blink of an eye.
However, despite the damage, it was actually not a big deal for the clone who was about to die. Even though he knew nothing about fighting, his survival instinct was not affected at all. Driven by his extremely strong ability, he quickly found Deidara and Scorpion flying in the sky and observing him, and then turned his head to look at Scorpion who had hurt him.
What kind of eyes were those? A strange eyeball with a circle of swirling lines surrounding the pupil. It was looking up at the Red Sand Scorpion with innocence and confusion, as if wondering why it, a newborn, had suffered such harm.
"Brother Scorpion, that is...that can't be..." Looking at the strange eyes of the clone below, Deidara was frightened and incoherent. Today was really a disaster day for Deidara. Not only did he get beaten, but in the end he also encountered this legendary Rinnegan.
"Don't make noise, Deidara, I know!" Scorpion looked at the clone below with a trace of awe and desire, "I didn't expect to see the eyes of the immortal in mythology again here. Didn't the leader say that he has the one and only Samsara Eye in the world, and is the son of destiny sent by God to save the world? Now there is another pair here, what does it mean? Does God no longer favor the leader and our 'Akatsuki'? I really want the leader to have a good look at this scene~"
Putting aside the fact that Scorpion was gloating over Nagato's misfortune and his complicated mentality towards the Rinnegan below, the clone seemed to have confirmed that Scorpion and Deidara were enemies. The puppets in the surrounding circles were quickly bounced away, and then, with Scorpion as the center, a huge circle of attraction quickly spread out. Everything around, including Deidara, the owl mount, the puppets used by Scorpion's Hundred Machine Exercises, the surrounding trees and land, all began to gather rapidly with this force.
At the same time, the speed at which the clones disappear increases again, and it seems that they will not last long before disappearing from this world.
