"Explosion is art, hahaha, I'm going to let you all appreciate my art!"
Deidara stood on the large white bird he made from clay, excitedly throwing clay spiders onto the ground. As soon as these clay spiders landed, they would immediately rush towards nearby Ninja or civilians, blowing them up one by one.
Most of the Chunin and Genin in the southern part of Konoha Village, as well as a large number of villagers, were actually dealt with by his clay bomb air drops.
"I say, casually throwing Ninjutsu in other Villages is a very inconsiderate thing. How can you be so ill-behaved at such a young age?"
Just as Deidara was bombing with great enthusiasm, a strange voice suddenly sounded from behind him. Turning his head, he saw that a young man had already appeared on his flying bird at some point.
"It's you, the Prince who defeated Itachi!"
After recognizing Li Chuan, Deidara was not surprised but delighted. From the special mouths in his palms, he immediately spat out several small flying birds made of white clay.
"Today, I will kill you and let them know that my Deidara's art is the strongest art."
It turned out that he had been defeated by Itachi back then and felt that Itachi's art was superior to his, which was why he was willing to join the akatsuki.
Later, he continuously trained his explosion art to defeat Itachi again and prove his own art.
Now that he had encountered Li Chuan, who had killed Kakuzu and Hidan and defeated Itachi, he felt that as long as he killed Li Chuan, he could naturally prove that his explosion art had surpassed Itachi's art.
"Explosive Clay: Twin-Winged Bird!"
Several small white flying birds flew out from his hands. One flew directly towards Li Chuan's face, while the other three drew three arcs, rapidly approaching from the left, right, and top directions.
However, this clay flying bird, which could blow up a normal Jonin, was directly dismembered into hundreds of pieces and fell down after only flying half the distance.
"What is that?"
Looking at the dozens of small swords flying out from the wings behind Li Chuan, which instantly Cut off his twin-winged bird, Deidara was also stunned for a moment.
Normally, even if a clay flying bird is hit by a kunai or sword, it will explode instantly and injure the enemy, unless the opponent's kunai and sword have nature transformation with lightning Chakra attached.
But he didn't feel any lightning Chakra from those dozens of small swords.
Also, this method of controlling dozens of weapons to attack the enemy is a bit similar to Big Brother Scorpion's puppet that can use Magnet Release.
"Using flying swords is a bit too much to bully you. How about this, let you also appreciate my explosion art."
He retracted the dozens of floating flying swords back into his wings, thought for a moment, and pointed in Deidara's direction:
"Thunderous Explosion!"
A powerful explosion sounded, and the clay flying bird under Deidara's feet shattered with a bang. Deidara himself was completely blown down from the sky by the powerful magic explosion.
Due to his powerful spirit and the Shadow Clone's research on magic, Li Chuan's magic level had greatly improved. He could use powerful destructive magic like Explosion Curse not much worse than a top witch.
In fact, if he had used his Flying Sword Wings to attack Deidara just now, given the speed of the flying swords, there was a high probability that he could instantly kill Deidara.
Deidara's clay explosions were incredibly powerful, especially his C0 self-detonation that could destroy an area of ten kilometers, but other than that, he wasn't very outstanding in other aspects.
When he fought Itachi back then, he was instantly defeated by a genjutsu.
Li Chuan's flying swords were not Magnet Release that controlled metal, but genuine magic treasures. Each flying sword had the blessing of sword light that could break through all techniques.
If he had truly gone all out and used his swords to kill the enemy, Deidara wouldn't have had time to activate his clay bombs at all. Even if he had activated them, they would have been directly pierced by his flying swords.
However, considering that killing Deidara now would not achieve his desired effect, he temporarily used Explosion Curse to play with him.
"It's not by becoming Hokage that you are recognized by everyone, but the person who is recognized by everyone can become Hokage."
This is what Itachi said to Naruto after being Edo Tensei.
The identity of this body of Li Chuan was not born in Konoha, nor was he a pure Konoha Ninja.
This made it difficult for him to be recognized by the high-level officials of Konoha.
In the previous "Konoha Crush Plan", he saved the Third Hokage and revived many injured Konoha Ninja and villagers, which earned him some recognition and made him the Third Hokage's fourth disciple.
However, this was far from enough for him to become Hokage. To become Hokage, he had to make over eighty percent of the Ninja and villagers in the entire Konoha Village feel that the position of Hokage was indispensable for him.
And to achieve this, he must make great contributions to Konoha and highlight his indispensability.
Something like the last time wasn't enough, because even without him last time, Konoha would still have won in the end, it's just that the price paid was a bit high.
That's why he wasn't in such a hurry to act. Only by letting akatsuki bring enough despair can his value be reflected.
Of course, people will definitely die in this process, and many people will die.
But it doesn't matter. Anyway, there is still Nagato's Outer Path: Reincarnation Heavenly Life Technique. This is a Ninjutsu that can truly revive dead people in this World. It is complete resurrection, not like Edo Tensei.
Only those with Rinnegan can perform it.
If the person has just died and their body is still there, they can be revived in large numbers at once.
If the person has been dead for a long time, it will be much more difficult, and there is a high probability that only one can be revived.
But regardless of the number of people, the user will die after using this Ninjutsu.
Madara's original plan was to wait until Nagato had grown enough to perform the Reincarnation Heavenly Life Technique, and then have Zetsu possess Nagato and use this technique to revive himself at his peak.
As a result, when Nagato attacked Konoha, after being lectured by Naruto, he used this technique to revive all the Konoha Ninja he had killed.
"As expected of Lord Chuan!"
Seeing the flying Ninja in the air being knocked down by Li Chuan, civilians and injured people in the southern part of the Village were rescued and treated by Li Chuan's Shadow Clone.
The Ninja who were rushing to the southern part of the Village all showed expressions of admiration.
For a moment, even the Third Hokage felt that if Jiraiya couldn't persuade Tsunade to come back, perhaps letting Li Chuan take over as the Fifth Hokage wouldn't be bad either.
Especially the scene of Li Chuan using space-time Ninjutsu to save people couldn't help but remind him of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who died young and with whom he was very satisfied.
"Everyone, listen to my command! Follow me and do your best to deal with the invaders!"
The Third Hokage led most of the Ninja above Chunin in the northern part of the Village and crossed the small river that divided the Village.
However, they had just entered the southern part of the Village when six Ninja with Rinnegan appeared and blocked their path.
"You ignorant mortals, the culprits who started this war, today let God judge you!
I will make you feel pain!"
