Chapter 264: Lightning Escape - Qilin

"Scorpion has been dealt with by Kimimaro. Now we just have to wait for Sasuke to capture Deidara."

Naruto muttered, his eyes flickering with anticipation as he looked in Sasuke's direction.

He knew Sasuke's strength very well and believed that Sasuke would be able to complete the task.

At this time, the battle between Sasuke and Deidara became one-sided.

Sasuke was like a black lightning, nimbly moving among Deidara's attacks.

His eyes were cold and sharp, and his Sharingan closely watched Deidara's every move, as if he could see through every move of the opponent.

Deidara looked a little embarrassed. He kept throwing various clay bombs, trying to stop Sasuke from approaching, but Sasuke was able to cleverly avoid them every time.

The bombs exploded around them, raising clouds of smoke and flames, but Sasuke rushed out of the thick smoke like a ghost and continued to attack Deidara.

The sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and every swing carried great force, making Deidara exhausted and could only keep retreating. The rhythm of the battle was completely controlled by Sasuke.

The anger and anxiety in Deidara's heart continued to rise. As a proud ninja, how could he tolerate being suppressed by Sasuke like this?

"Hmph, kid, don't think you can be so proud forever!" Deidara roared, and quickly formed seals with his hands. A large amount of special clay poured out of the clay backpack behind him, and the clay quickly combined into a group of clay birds around him.

The birds flapped their wings and flew high, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. The eyes of each bird flashed with a strange light.

Sasuke frowned slightly, with no intention of retreating. Instead, he increased his speed and rushed straight towards Deidara.

The moment Sasuke approached Deidara, the birds swooped down from the sky as if they had received an order, and just as they got close to Sasuke, their bodies exploded.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed and his body left a trail of afterimages as he moved at high speed. He nimbly avoided Asuka's first round of attacks.

However, without the explosion the birds quickly adjusted their direction and attacked again, and this time their attacks were more intensive and fierce.

Sasuke seized the opportunity, leaped into the air, and raised the sword in his hand high, "Chidori Flow!" A powerful electric current surged out from his sword, instantly forming a blue electric current net, shooting down the birds approaching him one after another.

But more birds bypassed the electric net and continued to attack Sasuke from different directions.

Sasuke couldn't use the momentum to stay in the air for too long. Just as he was about to land, Deidara seized the opportunity and controlled a huge clay flying dragon to rush towards Sasuke.

The flying dragon opened its bloody mouth and quickly approached Sasuke. Once it exploded, the power would be enough to raze everything around it to the ground.

Sasuke's eyes flashed, and he made a hand gesture with one hand. The Kusanagi sword in his hand flew in the air and turned into thousands of sword shadows.

Each sword shadow emitted a sharp cold light, like a deadly meteor flying towards the dragon.

The sword shadow cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, as if it was a symphony of death, playing on this battlefield filled with smoke.

The giant dragon made of Deidara's clay was instantly chopped into countless pieces by the sword shadow. The clay fragments fell from the sky like raindrops. Each piece still retained the chakra injected by Deidara, and flashed a faint light.

The huge body of the dragon quickly disintegrated under the cutting of the sword shadow, and the figure that originally covered the sky disappeared, leaving only a messy sky.

Deidara's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

The giant clay dragon that he was so proud of was so vulnerable to Sasuke's attack. This was a heavy blow to his self-confidence.

But he quickly recovered from his shock, and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes.

He put his hands into the ninja tool bag, took out the clay, and devoured it frantically.

His movements were like those of a hungry glutton, desperate. The unique smell of clay filled the air around him, and his eyes revealed a kind of fanaticism and determination, as if he was performing a sacred ritual.

After all the clay was swallowed, Deidara laughed and said, "Itachi's brother, let me show you my ultimate art!" The laughter was full of madness, echoing in the empty battlefield, with an unquestionable arrogance.

After saying this, the clay he had swallowed came out of his mouth like a waterfall. The clay seemed to have life, quickly gathering and deforming in the air.

Gradually, a giant version of Deidara C4 - Garuda appeared in front of Sasuke.

The huge Garuda's outstretched arms almost covered the sky, and the sunlight was blocked by its body, casting a huge shadow on the ground.

His entire body is made of fine clay, yet exudes a deadly aura.

C4-Garuda's eyes were like two bright rubies, flashing a strange light, staring at Sasuke, as if he was going to devour him in the next second.

Sasuke looked at the huge monster in front of him and his eyes changed slightly.

His eyes were as sharp as torches as he stared at the gigantic Garuda, not missing any details, trying to find any possible flaws in this horrifying work of art.

He could feel the powerful sense of oppression emanating from Garuda, a power that was enough to destroy everything.

Sasuke snorted coldly, and the spiritual energy in his body surged wildly.

Thunder-attributed spiritual energy permeated his entire body, and crackling blue arcs of electricity jumped and flickered on his body surface, like countless nimble little snakes.

His hair stood up due to the surge of spiritual power, and his black windbreaker fluttered in the strong wind.

At this moment, Sasuke was like a god who controlled thunder and lightning, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

Each arc of electricity contained powerful destructive force, forming a shining lightning shield around him.

He stomped his feet on the crystal and rushed towards Garuda like an arrow.

Sasuke's figure has turned into an afterimage, rushing towards the target.

While flying at high speed, Sasuke quickly formed hand seals, "Thunder Release: Kirin!" His movements were as fast as lightning, and the hand seals left behind a trail of afterimages. Each seal was extremely precise, as if he was playing a symphony of death.

In an instant, the lightning-attributed spiritual energy in Sasuke's body gathered madly in the air, the originally calm air flow in the sky was completely disrupted, and a strong wind swept over with a howling sound.

A huge Qilin figure is looming, its body is made of thunder and lightning, and every hair is like a smart lightning, exuding a destructive aura. This is a real thunder Qilin.

Its majestic eyes are like deep blue pools, with lightning flashing in them, as if containing endless wisdom and power.

As soon as the Qilin's hooves appeared, the surrounding air was ionized, making a hissing sound, as if cheering for its arrival.

Its body gradually solidified, and its huge body covered the sky and the sun, shrouding the entire world in its shadow. Every breath was like a rolling thundercloud, foreshadowing the coming destruction.
