Chapter 513 Upgrading and Transformation
Chapter 513 Upgrading and Transformation
The movements of Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) could not be kept secret from the Akatsuki.
After all, more than 8,000 people needed to set up camp, pack their belongings, and begin their march.
Its slow speed is self-evident, and the enormous commotion it generates during this time is even more difficult to conceal.
Especially the meticulous Xiao Nan, who had already carefully arranged a large number of explosive tags around the Cloud Hidden Base.
The people of Yunyin naturally wouldn't ignore those brightly lit explosive tags.
After a brief discussion, the safest demolition method was determined.
Tailed Beast Ball Lightning Release Technique!
Then, accompanied by a series of deafening roars—"Boom! Boom!"
The tranquility was instantly shattered by the explosion of the detonating tag, and thick smoke billowed into the sky.
"The Hidden Clouds are on the move!"
Xiao Nan, who had been closely monitoring the situation, noticed the enemy's unusual movements immediately and issued a warning.
Prior to this, the members of Akatsuki had long been resting and preparing for battle.
Hearing Xiao Nan's call, they quickly got dressed and came out in full force.
Xiao Nan gracefully leaped into the air, like a butterfly in flight;
Sasori, meanwhile, controlled his fearsome Third Kazekage puppet as they flew through the air.
The remaining two, Kisame Hoshigaki and Kakuzu, sat steadily on the clay birds created by Deidara.
For the Akatsuki organization, controlling the air means, to a certain extent, absolute security and high mobility.
When the Akatsuki members arrived near the battlefield, the sight before them took them by surprise.
After Killer Bee transformed into a half-tailed beast, he continuously spewed out Tailed Beast Balls containing destructive power.
Each Tailed Beast Ball that lands on the ground will level everything around it.
The area blasted by the Tailed Beast Ball is naturally safe. Although it is full of craters and inconvenient for marching, there will definitely be no explosive tags.
Kirabi also regretted not doing it last time.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been injured and slowed down the progress of the Cloud Village.
"Xiao Nan, it seems your explosive tag trap has been broken."
Kisame Hoshigaki shouted at Konan.
However, Xiao Nan did not show the slightest sign of frustration in the face of this situation.
She knew very well that the reason she was able to successfully ambush Killer Bee of Kumogakure last time was because of this.
It was entirely because that guy was so stubborn and insisted on personally defusing those explosive tag traps.
As long as progress is made steadily, Killer Bee, the Jinchūriki, is like a powerful cannon with unlimited energy.
In this world, there is almost nothing that a Tailed Beast Ball cannot solve.
If so, then two shots!
At this moment, Kakuzu was staring at the Cloud Village ninjas who were slowly approaching in neat rows below.
A helpless expression, like a mouse trying to pull a turtle, appeared on his face.
Deidara, who was standing nearby, had previously attempted to launch a surprise attack under the cover of night, but his explosive clay was effectively countered by his opponent.
Now, they faced the Cloud Hidden Army, a fully armed force advancing slowly and methodically.
Even though Deidara was arrogant, he dared not act rashly at this moment.
After all, he knew very well that if he rushed over like that, he probably would never have a chance to come back alive.
Although Deidara is still very young, he is not stupid. He can only do that kind of risky escape occasionally, and he must never try it again.
A direct confrontation is definitely not a wise choice, after all, they are not the terrifyingly powerful Pain.
Just as everyone was deep in thought, Xiao Nan's mind suddenly started working at lightning speed.
Her gaze quickly swept over each of her companions present, finally settling on Scorpion.
A slight smile played on her lips as she asked, "Scorpion, does your puppet need an update?"
Upon hearing this, Scorpion was slightly taken aback, but quickly understood Konan's intention:
"Hehe, that's quite an expense!"
Xiao Nan said nonchalantly:
"It's alright, no matter how many are destroyed, we'll replace them with brand new ones!"
Upon hearing this, Scorpion nodded without hesitation:
"Okay, no problem, I agree!"
"Judging from their current pace of progress, they should be able to clear the entire area covered by my explosive tags in about an hour."
Having said that, she turned to look at everyone and continued with the instructions:
"Scorpion and I will go and do some preparations first. You must not make any rash moves. If the Raikage catches us, we'll be in big trouble!"
After giving their instructions, Xiao Nan and Xie immediately flapped their wings and flew away as fast as lightning.
Kisame Hoshigaki, Kakuzu, and Deidara were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
After a moment, Kakuzu slowly spoke:
"In my opinion, we should take a good rest for a while first."
Clearly, neither of them intends to provoke trouble.
After all, their mission this time was merely to slow down the pace of the Cloud Village's attack.
If you act impulsively and lose your life here, it would be a huge loss and you would become a laughing stock.
So the three of them each found a relatively safe corner and began to rest, either sitting or lying down.
……
Finally, the long hour slowly passed.
The Cloud Village members were currently closely surrounding Killer Bee, carefully clearing the area in front of them, which was filled with dangerous explosive tag traps.
Although the progress was somewhat slow, the entire process was very safe and reliable.
The road is a bit difficult to walk on, with holes everywhere.
Of course, to ensure everything went smoothly, their reconnaissance squad and the ninjas with sensory abilities kept a close watch on their surroundings.
After all, the members of the Akatsuki organization are no ordinary people; each possesses unique skills and extraordinary strength.
Recalling the last time Killer Bee suffered a disastrous accident due to a moment of carelessness, everyone dared not let their guard down.
Just then, a cry of alarm rang out: "Enemy attack! From the air!"
The people of Yunyin instantly became alert and looked up at the sky.
A dark shadow rushed in like lightning. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Deidara riding his impressive clay dragon above.
This clay dragon is enormous, even more majestic than the previous clay bird.
Moreover, his flight speed was astonishing.
As the clay dragon flew overhead, it opened its gaping maw and suddenly spewed out countless dense spider bombs.
These spider bombs fell like snowflakes, heading straight for the end of the Cloud Village team.
However, despite the fierce attack, the Cloud Village side did not show the slightest sign of panic.
Because many of them were skilled in lightning-style ninjutsu, they naturally had no fear of these clay bombs.
Seeing this, hope, who was in the middle of the group, immediately shouted:
"It's a clay bomb! Everyone, don't panic, use Lightning Release to deactivate it!"
As soon as he gave the order, he began by making the following move:
"Lightning Release: Lightning Pillar!"
Immediately afterwards, dazzling bolts of lightning shot into the sky, heading straight for the spider bombs falling from above.
In an instant, lightning and bomb collided.
Many of the spider bombs that were about to land near them failed to land.
Even so, a number of spiders still managed to slip through the net and caused a large number of explosions.
The dragon Deidara rode this time was clearly faster than the flying bird.
He sped through the air like lightning, quickly dropping a large number of spider-shaped bombs before turning and fleeing.
