154 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

Kushina had no idea about the conversation between Uchiha Mirai and the Nine-Tails. Confused, she asked, "What do you mean?"

Mirai summoned a miniature version of the Three-Tails and explained, "I've reached an agreement with the Nine-Tails. As long as you're willing to let it manifest in this form whenever it wants, it won't cause you any trouble anymore."

Both Kushina and Minato were left stunned, their jaws practically hitting the floor.

"What?!"

The Nine-Tails—a ...

153 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

The Nine-Tails' sinister and immense chakra began to spill out uncontrollably, its intensity increasing rapidly.

In mere moments, Kushina's body was engulfed in a layer of the Nine-Tails' chakra. Her hair deepened to an even darker shade of red, and her once-round pupils morphed into eerie vertical slits.

Minato, who had been cooking in the kitchen, rushed out immediately. Seeing Kushina on the verge of losing control, his face was filled with urgency.

"It must be because Ku...

Inside the Moon's Inner World

The eight individuals who had been forcibly teleported back by Ōtsutsuki Shefei sat dumbfounded on the ground, their faces etched with grief.

Both the Elder and the Clan Leader were dead. The Ōtsutsuki clan on the Moon had lost its leaders.

"What now?" someone asked, their voice filled with confusion.

"What now? Obviously, we transplant the Byakugan we've collected into Toneri, enabling him to awaken the Tenseigan and fu...

Before he could react, that godlike figure vanished into thin air.

A flicker of doubt crossed Ōtsutsuki Shefei's mind, but before he could fully comprehend the situation, his expression shifted drastically. Without hesitation, he launched a green energy sphere in a specific direction.

Hundreds of meters away, the towering figure reappeared, standing directly in their path. The moment it emerged, it collided head-on with Shefei's green energy sphere.

5 Volume II The Strongest Artist in Naruto

The familiar gates of Konohagakure came into view—a sight he'd never truly seen before.

At their usual post, Izumo and Kotetsu were yawning, maintaining their eternal vigil as gatekeepers. Their existence was a mystery only rivaled by the likes of Ōtsutsuki Ichiraku and the enigmatic Genin of Konoha.

"Kotetsu, look over there."

"Is that the Daimyō's envoy?" Izumo glanced at the approaching figures through the thick morning mist, struggling to discern details.

"It h...

"Agh!" A bloodcurdling scream echoed as the bounty office manager was impaled on Hiruko's tail.

"Sasori, what are you doing?" Deidara's voice carried a hint of exasperation.

"Waiting is boring. I noticed this guy has a bounty of five million ryo on his head. Thought I'd make good use of the time."

"Hey! Is anyone else here? Hurry up and cash this in for me!"

Another trembling clerk stepped forward, clearly used to dealing with unsavory characters. It was par for the co...

The Konoha Crush Plan!

Even Orochimaru, with his deep and calculating nature, couldn't help but appear momentarily dazed as memories of his past flashed through his mind like a fleeting montage.

Although he was born a civilian, he had been taken in as a disciple by the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, from a young age. To the child he once was, Sarutobi had been a kind teacher, a hero who protected the village—a figure who, in some ways, filled the role ...

"Is that all?"
"Watch this!"
"C2 - Gari Form!"

Once Deidara had mastered humanoid forms, creating a perfect clay duplicate was child's play. The thrill of copying someone else's abilities—it was exhilarating.

[Chidō Shock Value +1000]

The two giants clashed fiercely, though the clay Gari Form was clearly overpowered. Yet, the flexibility of the clay form shone through, even after being pummeled into shapelessness, it quickly reformed. For the rocky Gari Form, hittin...

After a quick detour to the Land of Birds to retrieve the Explosive Blade: Shibuki, Deidara unlocked Explosive Mastery Level 2.

The battle with Konoha and Sunagakure shinobi had also yielded a surge of "Shock Value," enough to gain another level. With just the right amount of skill points, the [System] now displayed:

In a concealed chamber, Nagato shared his philosophy of peace with Deidara and Sasori, hoping for their agreement.

But their responses were far from supportive.

"Naive!"

"Unrealistic."

Deidara and Sasori dismissed his ideals outright.

"Peace achieved through power is fleeting," Sasori said, his tone calm but cutting. "It's like the era of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. Once they died, the shinobi world descended into war again."

"Leader, your methods tr...

The patter of rain echoed endlessly as it poured from the sky. This mission was the longest Deidara had undertaken since his arrival in this world.

It had been a month since the night of his defection, and the group had finally made their way into Amegakure. Once a hermit village sealed off from the world after Hanzo's death, Amegakure now bared its fangs to the shinobi world once again.

"Deidara, Sasori, follow me," a commanding voice rang out.

The speaker was an elegant wo...

63 The Strongest Artist in Naruto

The sun shone brightly, and a gentle breeze drifted through the air—a perfect day.

But Konoha was shrouded in an oppressive atmosphere of grief and despair.

The unprecedented loss of over a thousand shinobi in a single day was unthinkable in this era of peace. After all, it had been years since the Third Shinobi World War. The horrors of war had long faded from memory, but now, they were cruelly revived in a single day. How could anyone easily accept this reality?

In the H...

"Lords… Lords!" Kiyoto stammered, his tongue practically tied in knots at the sight of Deidara and Sasori.

(T/N: They refer to when Deidara came to Matsuzaka City and tried to kill Zoey, but he escaped and brought the Konoha ninja with him)

"I believe your name is Shimura Kiyoto, right?" Deidara asked with a smirk.

"Yes! That's me!" Kiyoto nodded hurriedly, like an overly obedient student, barely daring to breathe.

"Kiyoto, I thought we were friends. And yet, you did...

"Watch out!"

Kakashi's sharp eyes caught the subtle difference in color on this batch of clay creatures, but his warning came a fraction too late. Dozens of Konoha shinobi paid the price with their lives.

"Deploy the Four Violet Flames Formation now! We can't wait any longer!" Kakashi ordered decisively, his voice firm as he realized the ground near Deidara was still inaccessible.

"Four Violet Flames Formation!" came the synchronized shout.

Four Jonin-level Konoha shin...

100 Naruto: Tobirama Reborn

The massive wooden hand blocked all incoming attacks with its back, lifting Uchiha Itachi out of the water in one smooth motion and placing him atop the wooden giant's head at remarkable speed.

"Hokage-sama! First Hokage!"

Itachi rubbed his bloodied eyes, nodding respectfully toward the two figures standing on top of the wooden giant.

"Itachi, are you hurt?" Hashirama asked, his voice tinged with urgency as he stepped forward to check Itachi's injuries.

This was one of...

"This is...!"

"The forbidden technique of that Second Hokage?!"

As the Second Tsuchikage, Mū, regained consciousness and examined his state, his expression turned grave.

"Mū-sama! Is that you?"

Beside him, the trembling voice of a reanimated Ōnoki broke the silence.

"Ōnoki? You've been reanimated too? Judging by your appearance, quite some time must have passed. Seeing you this old, I suppose you died of natural causes. Iwagakure must have gone through five o...

"Who's there?!"

"We have an intruder! Ahhh—!"

In the depths of Konoha's prison, two guards barely had time to cry out before collapsing lifelessly to the ground. Uchiha Obito, hidden behind his black-and-yellow striped mask, retracted the iron chain he had used to kill them. With a casual gesture, their bodies were absorbed into the swirling vortex of his Kamui dimension.

"Heh, let them keep fighting. I'll be taking the tailed beasts," Obito mused silently.

"It's been a while, hasn't it, Second-sama... and Itachi-kun."

Across the expanse of several hundred meters, Orochimaru's raspy voice carried clearly to Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Itachi.

"You, the brat who enjoys playing with my forbidden techniques—have you forgotten how miserably you fled the last time we met?"

Tobirama's tone was laced with mockery, offering Orochimaru nothing but disdain.

Yet, Orochimaru didn't take offense. Instead, he chuckled softly and began ...

Akira turned to Fugaku and Shisui, saying, "Let's clean up the battlefield first. After that, drive the Iwagakure and Kumogakure forces out of the border. I'll try to use the Spirit Transformation Technique to track the enemies from earlier."

"Shisui, you handle it. I'll stay and guard Akira," Fugaku replied, glancing at Shisui.

As Shisui departed, Akira swiftly formed hand seals, and a semi-transparent spiritual form stepped out of his body.

The moment his spirit form emerg...

"Hahaha… this is exactly what I've been waiting for!" Hikaru's triumphant laughter echoed from within her majestic Susanoo.

In the next instant, the Tailed Beast Bombs, fused with Amaterasu's black flames, reversed their course and launched straight toward Akira's twin Susanoo avatars.

"Explode for me!"

Even before the Tailed Beast Bombs could fully detach from Hikaru's Susanoo, they detonated violently.

In a flash, searing light and scorching heat engulfed both Akir...

"Shikaku, the Chūnin Exams should be coming up soon, right?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Mirai's question, Nara Shikaku nodded and replied, "Yes, there are about two months left."

"Mirai-sama, do you have plans for the Chūnin Exams?"

"I do," Mirai said calmly. "Contact the other villages for me. Invite them to bring their shinobi to participate in the Chūnin Exams here in Konohagakure."

"I want to co-host an unprecedentedly grand Chūnin Exam with the other villages."

151 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

Ignoring Koharu's minor interruption, Mirai returned to the Uchiha compound.

At home, the dining table was laden with exquisite dishes.

Mikoto and Yakumo were nowhere to be seen. The only one present was Konan, dressed in a thin robe, kneeling by the table with her head lowered.

"Konan, why are you alone? Where are Mikoto and Yakumo?"

Hearing Mirai's question, a blush spread from Konan's ears, quickly creeping down her neck and disappearing beneath her robe.

"Do you really think I'll let you succeed?"

High in the sky, Deidara had also noticed the Konoha ninjas' movements.

"Perfect timing to test my newly mastered Animal Form Technique."

"C2 – Myriad Serpent Formation!"

Deidara's hands pointed downward, and the mouths in his palms opened wide. Within seconds, thousands of clay snakes poured forth, slithering toward the Konoha ninjas, blocking their path like a tidal wave.

"O-Orochimaru?!" That was everyone's first r...

From the high slope, exclamations of shock echoed repeatedly, no doubt stirred by the sudden emergence of Magnet Release and its devastating power.

"How does it feel, Sasori-bro?"

"Doesn't it feel satisfying?" Deidara teased with a smirk.

"Shut it!"

"But with this, both the Third Kazekage puppet and your abilities are exposed," Deidara continued.

"You used to guard this secret so carefully. What's with the sudden change of heart? Feeling soft today?"

After another half month, Deidara and his team journeyed southwest from the Land of Waves, passing through the ruins of the Land of Whirlpools, skirting the southern coastline of the Land of Fire, and finally entering the Land of Rivers.

Bored during their travels, Deidara opened his system interface. The recent battle at Kirigakure had been an overwhelming success, earning him a four-level boost in one go. It felt like striking it rich overnight, leaving him with five unspent skill poi...

Konoha Village.

Today, the Hokage's office was especially lively. The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, sat at the head of the room. To his left and right were his advisors, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, along with Shimura Danzō, the self-proclaimed protector of Konoha from the shadows.

Standing nearby were Nara Shikaku, the Jonin commander and long-time strategist, and the masked leader of the ANBU.

Kirigakure

As Deidara and his companions departed, they left chaos in their wake.

Standing atop a roof, Obito surveyed the ruined western sector of Kirigakure. Collapsed buildings, destroyed streets, and scattered corpses told the grim tale of the night's brutality.

"Obito, what now?"

Zetsu's figure rose silently from Obito's side.

"This time, too many escaped, and too many died. We're facing a severe shortage of… raw materials," Black Zetsu re...

A massive clay octopus writhed, blocking Kisame's path with menacing tentacles. Yet, Kisame showed no fear—his speed only increased. With each swing of Samehada, he effortlessly hacked away at the clay tentacles.

"Huh?"

"Is Kisame not worried that Deidara will just detonate the big octopus?" White Zetsu asked in surprise. "With a clay bomb of that size, even Kisame's Water Release wouldn't be enough to block the explosion, right?"

"Idiot."

Black Zetsu's low voice car...

54 The Strongest Artist in Naruto

As Deidara and Kisame squared off on the ocean's surface, Sasori, piloting Hiruko, hurried to the scene. Before their departure, the Leader had specifically sent Konan to warn them about Kisame. Now, the warning was proving its worth.

"Fire Style! Great Fireball Jutsu!"

A scorching fireball came hurtling toward Hiruko from behind. Sasori quickly maneuvered aside and turned to face Uchiha Itachi.

"Uchiha Itachi, are you betraying the Akatsuki too?" Sasori questioned coldly. 2024-12-24 23:52:49 +0000 UTC View Post

"How about this, you little rogue ninja?"

"If we were fighting in the village, with your terrifying explosive abilities, I might not have been your match," Yagura admitted. Yet his tone carried not only recognition of Deidara's strength but a sharp edge of killing intent.

"But out here on the open sea? I have the upper hand. No one can defeat me here!"

Beep!

A black Tailed Beast Bomb formed—a dense sphere of pure chakra capable of leveling mountains ...
