The Strongest Artist in Naruto

Tsunade, famed for her monstrous strength, found herself utterly vexed. This was a battlefield filled with bugs—how was she supposed to fight effectively in such a scenario?

Normally, summoning Katsuyu would be the best countermeasure, but her hemophobia rendered her unable to use her summoning jutsu.

"Tsunade-sama, watch out!" Shizune, bound and helpless, cried out from the side.

"Damn it! Don't underestimate me, you little brat!" Tsunade growled in frustration, her gaze locking onto Deidara in the distance. If she wanted to win, she'd have to rush in and take him out directly.

"Take this!" Tsunade dashed forward, her fist flying with unstoppable force.

However, what greeted her was a dense web woven from countless layers of spider silk. Her formidable punch was caught mid-air, as though striking an elastic rubber wall. While her strength eventually tore through it, the impact had been softened, diminishing the speed and power of her blow significantly.

Insect-inspired clay creations—truly versatile tools!

Deidara smirked, satisfied with his handiwork. Ever since unlocking this particular skill, his clay insects mimicked real-life arthropods, each carrying unique traits. The web-weaving spiders were an especially effective innovation.

"Tsunade, you've got spiders crawling all over you now," Deidara taunted.

"Haah!"

Boom!

Tsunade burst through an explosion, emerging with nothing more than a layer of dust marring her appearance. She glared at Deidara, completely unscathed.

"Your bugs are troublesome, but your explosions are pathetically weak," she sneered. "I have a jutsu called Creation Rebirth. The damage your bugs inflict heals in the blink of an eye."

Deidara chuckled. "Watching your brute strength in action has given me fresh inspiration."

He reached into his clay pouch, allowing the mouths on his palms to chew the material before slapping it onto the ground.

"C1 Basic—Ant Swarm!"

From the clay emerged an army of finger-sized ants, marching forward in perfect formation.

"In the insect kingdom, ants are renowned for their strength—they can lift objects 400 times their weight. When working together, their power multiplies even further." Deidara gestured theatrically.

"Let's see how they match up against you."

Boom!

Tsunade slammed her fist into the ground, instantly crushing a wave of the clay ants.

"Ants may be strong," she scoffed, "but these are far too small. Even 400 times nothing is still nothing."

Deidara clicked his tongue and leapt back, putting more distance between them. As he moved, waves of clay spiders closed in on Tsunade, weaving webs that slowed her progress.

"Ugh, I've had enough of these pests!" she snarled, tearing at the sticky threads clinging to her. Yet no sooner had she removed one strand than another latched onto her, steadily cocooning her in a white silk prison.

Shing!

A chakra scalpel flickered in her hand, slicing through the cocoon from within. Tsunade shattered the surrounding spiders with a mighty kick, clearing her immediate vicinity.

Deidara, observing from afar, continued chewing more clay. His earlier ants were just prototypes—he was about to debut something far more imposing.

This time, the clay creations that dropped from his palms were significantly larger. After a brief activation, they expanded to the size of an average human.

Unlike regular ants, these had a humanoid structure, standing on two legs with their forelimbs shaped into muscular fists. They exuded an intimidating aura.

"Go, my new creations!" Deidara announced. "C2 Special—Ant Boxers!"

Six Ant Boxers charged toward Tsunade, raising their massive fists in unison.

"Tsunade, how do you like them?" Deidara called out smugly. "They're your size now but still retain 400 times their strength. Let's see you handle this."

"Pfft. Watch me crush them," Tsunade shot back, leaping forward to engage.

Her fist collided with an Ant Boxer's, and the result was decisive. The clay ant was sent flying, its arm obliterated, before crashing into a tree.

Deidara wiped a bead of sweat from his brow. Tsunade's monstrous strength was indeed terrifying.

One by one, the Ant Boxers met similar fates, reduced to rubble by Tsunade's relentless strikes. The battle was more than a match test for Deidara's creations—it was a showcase of the legendary Sannin's overwhelming power.

But instead of despair, Deidara's grin widened.

"So you're like a living stress test for my art," he muttered, his voice tinged with excitement. "If small ants won't work, I'll just make something bigger."

Deidara's chewing finally ceased, and he produced a single, massive clay creation. With a surge of chakra, the clay ant expanded until it was the size of a small truck.

Its legs were thick and powerful, and its forelimbs—transformed into gigantic fists—bulged with simulated muscle.

"C2 Enhanced—Ant Hercules!"

Although it wasn't designed purely for explosive damage, its enormous size and raw power earned it a place among Deidara's most prized creations, rivaling the likes of his clay dragon.

Tsunade couldn't help but glare at the towering ant.

"Come, Tsunade," Deidara taunted, his voice dripping with condescension. "Let's see whose strength reigns supreme in the ninja world."

The challenge ignited a fiery determination in Tsunade.

"I'll crush you, brat!" she declared.

With that, the clash began—a battle of brute force between a woman and a monstrous insect. As their fists collided, shockwaves rippled outward, reshaping the battlefield.

"Hold on, Shizune—I'll get you out of this mess!" Tsunade vowed, preparing to unleash her true strength.
