Mizuki suddenly displayed an incredibly fast speed, which surprised the two people following behind him.

"This power seems somewhat familiar!"

Uchiha Sasuke was somewhat puzzled. The fighting posture displayed by Mizuki was very similar to that of the female Genin Fu from Takigakure who was defeated by Hyuga Neji in the Chunin Exam. The same sound of wings vibrating, the same super high speed.

If the estimate is correct, it is very likely that it has mastered the ability to fly.

"In the ninja world, are there many ninjas who can fly?"

"How is that possible?"

Tianzang looked at the direction where Shuimu disappeared with complicated eyes.

"You will realize the great role of flying ability in combat in the future. There are very few ninjas in the ninja world who can fly. Most of them rely on large summoned beasts to fly. There are not many people who can do this on their own, and there are not many historical records!"

The ability to fly using similar methods is either inherited or relies on the same power to achieve the goal.

The Jinchuriki Fu of the Takigakure can use the power of the Seven-Tails Shigeaki to fly, so Mizuki is most likely using the same power.

"Although there have been rumors that Mizuki attacked the tailed beasts and was able to use their power, I didn't expect it to be true! "

Shaking his head, Tianzang put these thoughts aside for the time being and sped up again.

"Hurry up, there are powerful enemies fighting ahead, we must control the situation as soon as possible!"

If there was only Orochimaru, he should have been able to cope with it, but if there were too many powerful enemies, it would be obvious that he would not be able to handle them all.

At this time, Tenzou already regretted bringing Sasuke here, but leaving him alone made him even more worried...

"You must take care to protect yourself later. If you can't handle it, ask for help immediately!"

"knew!"

Sasuke nodded. Although he was eager to challenge the strong, it did not mean that he was pedantic and inflexible. It would be stupid to insist on fighting when he was obviously unable to win. He still had a lot of things to do and could not die in vain in such a place!

…

The fighting style was restrained, which naturally put Deidara in a difficult situation. The most powerful C3 air-dropped explosive clay did not work, and it seemed that repeating it would not make much difference.

This time it is not to destroy a village, but just to kill a person. The technique of large-scale destruction is not suitable for dealing with Orochimaru. The reincarnated Third Kazekage is here, and Deidara cannot use many of his effective methods.

"Are you going to use C4 Garuda? This is a secret technique that was developed to kill Uchiha Itachi. Isn't it a waste of talent to use it against Orochimaru?"

Using too advanced an art of explosion against Uchiha Itachi's defeated opponent seemed to be too much of an honor for him.

"A Fei, where are you? If you're not dead yet, get out here right now!"

Since it would be a bit difficult to deal with it alone, Deidara would not be so foolish as to seek his own death.

As Deidara shouted, Afei wearing a vortex mask crawled out from underground.

"Deidara-senpai, what do you want to ask me? Has the enemy been eliminated? The power of that blow just now was terrifying. I almost died underground. It seems that the enemy has been blown to pieces by you, senior!"

Ah Fei, who was pretending to turn his head with exaggerated movements, suddenly shouted.

"Hey, Deidara-senpai, Orochimaru seems to be unharmed. It seems that the Explosion Art of Senpai is not that big of a deal. It was of no use at all!"

"Shut up, you cowardly bastard!"

Deidara waved his hand, and a huge dragon made of explosive clay appeared, flapping its wings and floating in the air.

"You work hard, Ah Fei. If you dare to be lazy or run away, I will kill you!"

"Wow, Senior is so scary!"

The casual words matched the action of A Fei picking his ears, and it was obvious that he did not take Deidara's instructions to heart.

Deidara didn't waste any words. He controlled the C2 dragon made of explosive clay to swoop down, continuously spitting out balls of explosive clay from his mouth, and instantly plowed the land below.

The explosion that didn't distinguish between friend and foe also scared Ah Fei. He quickly used the earth escape technique - the Earth Dragon Hiding Technique to hide underground and avoid the continuous explosions!

"A joint attack by multiple flying puppets?"

The giant bird carrying Deidara high in the sky was too far away to attack at all, but Deidara could swoop down and attack by controlling the clay dragon.

The lifeless clay dragon was extremely fast, and the explosive clay it spewed out was very powerful, so Orochimaru dared not be distracted. At the same time, it was difficult for Sand Iron Shigure's projectiles to hit the flexibly flying clay dragon. Even if there were sporadic attacks on the lifeless clay dragon, it basically did not cause any harm, unless the Sand Iron Knot Attack was used to break it, but the speed of Sand Iron Knot Attack was far less than that of Sand Iron Shigure, and it was even more difficult to hit the enemy. As for other secret techniques such as Sand Iron Scatter Attack, which were very useful against humans, they had no effect on lifeless explosive clay.

“It’s troublesome!”

Simply defending is too passive, and the explosion is very powerful. Sooner or later, Deidara will find a flaw. Orochimaru, standing on the head of the summoned giant snake, keeps moving around to avoid the dragon that is throwing explosive clay at him.

Suddenly, the giant snake that was originally protecting Orochimaru seemed to touch something, and a violent explosion blew its body into pieces.

"Oh no, there is a trap underground, Lord Orochimaru, retreat quickly!"

The two people who were knocked over by the shock wave of the explosion dodged quickly, and only managed to stabilize their bodies after dodging the flying rocks.

"Did another helper do something underground?"

The sky and underground were attacked at the same time, and it was even more difficult to take care of both. This combination attack seemed to be a very mature routine.

"Looking at Deidara's hand seals, it seems that all of these attacks are earth escape techniques. We need lightning escape techniques to deal with him!"

"I know!"

Of course Orochimaru knows Lightning Release, and not only that, he is extremely proficient in all five types of ninjutsu. However, as he possesses Orochimaru-style ninjutsu, he seldom uses ninjutsu of these attributes to fight against the enemy, because they are not as useful as the unique ninjutsu developed to match his own body.

It is not impossible to continue using the Impure World Reincarnation to summon ninjas who can use Lightning Release, but to deal with Deidara, only a handful of people can do it, such as the Sandaime Raikage, or Ringo Ayuri, one of the former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist, who are all good candidates.

Orochimaru, who has many means, certainly doesn't have no way to deal with Deidara. It's just that sometimes there is no need to take such a big risk.

However, it seems necessary to let Deidara know at this time that being able to fly does not mean being infallible.

Aiming in the direction of Deidara, Orochimaru's neck suddenly stretched out like a winding snake, his mouth opened wide, and a silver sword light suddenly emerged from his mouth, piercing through the body of the giant clay bird in the sky at an extremely fast speed.

Realizing something was wrong, Deidara dodged and waved his right hand to try to block.

With the speed and sharpness of the Kusanagi sword - the Sky Sword, it can cut through the tough chakra of the tailed beasts. Even the summoning beast - Enma, of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is famous for his invulnerability, felt unbearable pain when touched by it. How could a flesh and blood body like Deidara possibly withstand it?

The pierced arm did not stop the Kusanagi sword at all, and mercilessly pierced Deidara's right shoulder. The electric sparks of the lightning escape were transmitted to Deidara along the freely extendable blade of the Kusanagi sword, not only making it impossible for him to use earth escape, but the paralysis effect of the lightning escape also temporarily paralyzed his ability to resist.

Under Orochimaru's control, the Kusanagi sword swung, and the entire right wrist was completely cut off. A deep gap was also cut on the right shoulder blade, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

Not only that, most of the body of the clay bird was cut by Kusanagi's sword, and the right wing was cut off at the root. The clay bird lost its balance and involuntarily fell down with Deidara on its back, landing heavily on the ground.

Then Orochimaru used the same trick again and cut the out-of-control C3 explosive clay dragon into two pieces, which fell down.

"You may have an advantage against others, but who do you think I am? Can such a trick work against me? I heard that you also aim to kill Uchiha Itachi. With your strength, it seems that you can't do it."

Deidara, who relied too much on his flying ability, once again suffered a setback in his proud strength. Deidara stood up awkwardly, pressing his left hand on the bleeding wound, trying to delay the loss of vitality, and looked at Orochimaru who had dealt him a heavy blow with resentment.
