Naruto: Sasuke Reborn – No Clan Massacre! No Injustice！

"That's the Hōzuki clan from Kiri. They're most proficient in the Silent Killing Technique. This foggy environment is the perfect battlefield for them!"

Kakashi explained it to Kakuzu clearly, intending to let him understand before he died.

The last water bullet hit Kakuzu's heart. His arms naturally drooped, and he knelt on the ground with wide - open eyes in disbelief.

He, who had once fought alongside the First Hokage, finally came to an end here. But he was unwilling to lose to a young brat like this.

Kakuzu's lips moved. He wanted to say something more, but finally collapsed weakly to the ground, his eyes sinking into darkness.

Looking at Kakuzu, who was lying on the ground and finally dead, Kakashi also felt relieved. These guys were all so hard to deal with. Then, as the leader, how powerful was Pain? Was his strength even above that of the Hokage?

Just thinking about it gave him a headache.

"You were really quick to act just now! If it had been me who came, would I have become another corpse lying on the ground?"

As the fog dispersed, Suigetsu slowly walked over, looking a little unhappy at Kakashi. This guy had directly used the Lightning Cutter on the Kakuzu who had just transformed into him. If he hadn't intended to observe carefully in the fog, he might have been the one torn apart now.

"You're overthinking. I was sure it was Kakuzu at that time before I made my move. Didn't we decide to split up the work? I was supposed to kill that masked guy who uses Lightning Release, and the rest was up to you. In the thick fog, walking right over with a crackling sound without suspecting that I might be Kakuzu. The reason was simple: it was really him!"

Suigetsu listened to Kakashi's analysis helplessly. This cold - blooded guy really deserved to be Sasuke's teacher. Even in that situation, he could analyze the pros and cons so clearly.

"Let's not talk about this. I wonder how the others are doing?"

"I'm not sure, but judging from the strength of the Akatsuki members, they're probably not easy to deal with..."

"Art is explosion! Ka - boom!"

The white clay exploded in the air, causing a huge gust of wind that swept through the surrounding houses, turning them into pieces.

In the explosion's firelight, Deidara sat on his flying clay, smiling wildly, as if he had seen a peerless work of art. His eyes were shining with golden light.

This was the ultimate art he pursued. Everything was destroyed in an instant, and art was transformed in that moment. It was simply beautiful.

Deidara was deeply immersed in it when a spoil - sport voice sounded in his ear.

"Hey! Kid, don't go overboard. You're affecting my puppets!"

Sasori was controlling his puppets below. There were some scorched marks on the wooden surface. That arrogant kid above didn't care about the surroundings at all when he made his moves. He was becoming more and more unscrupulous, and Sasori was also affected.

"Boss Sasori, come and appreciate it! People, buildings, all are shining brightly. This is the ultimate art I pursue!"

"Nonsense! Art should be like my puppets, existing eternally and being eternally beautiful."

"Ah~ My concept of art can never be the same as yours, Boss Sasori. What art is there in those lousy logs?"

Sasori felt the veins on his forehead pop up instantly. This kid was acting recklessly. It's one thing that his actions affected Sasori's puppets, but he was also slandering Sasori's art here. If it weren't for the fact that they were still in the middle of a battle, Sasori would have fought Deidara long ago.

Sasori admonished himself to be patient in his heart. He was the senior and couldn't haggle with Deidara. Otherwise, he would definitely be the one who got scolded the most later.

Just when his mood had finally calmed down, a huge mass of fire came crashing down from the sky. The burning flames were so hot that it seemed they could instantly evaporate the moisture from a person's skin. Although Sasori was actually a puppet now, he was still very afraid of fire.

He maneuvered the puppet to retreat. For a moment, he was actually at a disadvantage against the raging fire that filled the sky.

"Who's there? Show yourself!"

The puppets he had carefully cared for were burned to a crisp again, and Sasori's anger flared up.

Deidara also boldly looked upward. The light emitted by the beautiful Mangekyo was no less dazzling than the sun.

Against the backdrop of the brilliance, it flickered and danced, as if it had a life of its own and was extremely eye - catching. Deidara stared wide - eyed at those eyes with a fatal allure and couldn't look away for a long time.

"Who are you..."

"Don't look into his eyes! He's Itachi Uchiha!"

Sasori manipulated the puppet, and the expanded mechanism on it shot out a row of Poison needles, flying rapidly towards Itachi.

A slight arc curled up at the corner of Itachi's mouth. He didn't care about such a small - scale Needle Jutsu. He slightly raised his hand and formed hand seals in front of his chest.

Then, a stream of scorching red flames spurted out. The burning of the flames and the strong airflow instantly vaporized Sasori's poison needles, leaving no trace.

Taking advantage of this gap, Deidara also quickly retreated and joined Sasori.

"Hey, hey, hey! Boss Sasori, is Fire Release really that powerful?"

Deidara looked at Itachi's exaggerated Fire Release. The scorching heat seemed to make one's scalp tingle.

"I've already told you not to look directly into his eyes. You stupid bastard, can't you understand me?"

Sasori roared at Deidara. This kid didn't seem to have listened to a single word he said. He still propped his big round eyes and stared directly at Itachi. People who didn't know better might think he had a crush on Itachi.

"Even if you tell me so, there's nothing I can do. If we don't look at him, how are we supposed to fight? Are we going to just swing blindly with our eyes closed?"

Deidara was a bit speechless. It's just a Genjutsu. Is Boss Sasori really that nervous?

He must have been overly cautious usually, which is why he's so jumpy.

"Pfft, you hopeless guy. Don't drag me down when you die!"

Sasori felt exhausted.

"Don't worry. This guy doesn't seem to have any other skills besides being good at Fire Release. Leave him to me to deal with!"

Deidara manipulated the flying dragon under his feet and stuffed both hands into the clay bag he carried with him, gobbling up the clay.

After chewing for a while, he tossed dozens of small clay birds into the air, and miraculously, they all came to life. One by one, they flew recklessly towards Itachi on the rooftop.

"Let me show you my art. Ka!"

The dense explosion sparks instantly engulfed Itachi. However, his face still looked calm before being swallowed, which really annoyed Deidara.

What a joke! There was actually someone who showed no sign of panic in the face of his art. It gave him the chills, and he always had a very bad feeling.

Just as he was about to report the battle outcome to Sasori, suddenly, burning shurikens came hurtling at him from behind. They plunged deeply into Deidara's flesh at an incredible angle. The intense heat of the flames instantly made his flesh split open, and the smell of roasted meat filled the air.
