Chapter 276: 276
The Land of Water, Kirigakure.
The clouds broke open, and several huge airships emerged, slowly descending from the sky.
Many Kirigakure ninjas and villagers who got the news in advance ran out of their houses excitedly and flocked to the streets to watch.
On the roof of an empty building, a group of energetic little kids gathered, watching the airship coming from the sky, and discussed excitedly.
"Hinata, have some riceballs!"
Karin Uzumaki ran up of the stairs holding a box of steaming riceballs in her hand and leaned in front of Hinata, to share it generously with her.
"Thank you, Karin." Hinata blushed and took one.
"Didn't I tell you that we are friends? There is no need to thank me" Karin tilted her head as she stared at Hinata's with big eyes, and asked sincerely.
'Friend'
Under Karin's gaze, Hinata's heart thumped, and then she nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, making Karin laugh.
These two little girls of the same age became friends instantly after meeting, perhaps it's because the optimistic and cheerful Karin and the introverted Hinata formed a complementary personality.
"Hinata, what's the matter with you, do you have no appetite?"
Karin found that Hinata seemed a little dazed today, and she hadn't eaten her riceballs, so she asked curiously and caringly.
"Tsunade-sama is coming back today. She will definitely check if I have made progress or not. I'm worried that I won't be able to satisfy Tsunade-sama. I'm really useless."
Hinata lowered her head and said timidly.
"Don't worry, you are a genius of the Hyuga clan, and Tsunade-sensei personally accepted you as her student. Do you know how enviable your position is?"
Karin patted Hinata on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry, I will work hard with you, let's help each other."
"Yeah! Karin, you are so kind." Hinata felt warm in her heart.
At this moment, there was a bang from the side, which startled the two little girls.
It turned out that Temari was carrying a huge fan, smashed it on the ground, and used it to support her body.
She yawned and suggested to her two younger brothers:
"Hey, Kankuro, Gaara, let's do something for fun. It's too boring to be here."
"Good idea. I heard that Tsunade-sama went to the Land of Snow to discuss cooperation this time, and brought back a batch of chakra armor. After wearing the armor, not only can a person be immune to the enemy's ninjutsu attacks, but can also fly like a bird. If If I can get a set, I will definitely be able to create something with my puppet art."
Kankuro's eyes lit up, and as he spoke, he nudged Gaara's shoulder beside him, "Isn't that so, Gaara?"
"I am not interested."
Gaara folded his arms around his chest and said sternly.
He just likes to play with sand, and otherwise, has no interest in most things.
It is worth mentioning that Gaara at this time did not have two big dark circles like in the anime, which shows that he gets along well with the one-tail in his body.
Of course, this was thanks to Tsunade's persuasion and threat.
If there's anything else that interests Gaara other than sand, it's defeating Kimimaro.
Thinking of this, Gaara's eyes turned to the left, and looked at Kimimaro, dressed in white, standing tall and straight, like a straight javelin, on the edge of the building with his back to everyone.
He stared at the airship in the distance without saying a word, no one knew what he was thinking.
"Kimimaro."
At this time, Yamato who too came to the top of the building, specifically said to Kimimaro, "Thank you for training with me, I was able to find a lot of my weaknesses. I hope we can train again in the future."
"There is no need to thank me, I'm just trying to understand the power of Mokuton. Besides, you are indeed a good opponent."
Kimimaro turned his head and said coolly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped off the roof with a swoosh and landed steadily on the street under their surprised eyes.
Then he walked towards the training ground alone.
Obviously, Kimimaro, like Gaara, has no interest in joining in the fun. There is only one thing he is interested in, and that is to become stronger.
Keep getting stronger until he has enough power to defeat the Uzumaki Naruto, who he has never met, and take back the remaining Nine Tails.
For this reason, Kimimaro became a training maniac.
"Kimimaro, wait for me."
When Haku saw Kimimaro leaving, he gritted his teeth and jumped off the roof. He has been with Kimimaro for the longest time, and has the best relationship with the latter, as close as brothers, so he didn't want to leave him alone.
"Humph."
Temari glanced at Kimimaro's back with a bit of displeasure, and said to Gaara who was beside her, "Gaara, you must defeat that guy, I'm annoyed whenever I see his face."
Just after she finishing speaking, there was a sudden bang on the street, and there was an explosion with dazzling fire and smoke.
'What happened? !'
The little kids on the roof quickly engulfed the billowing smoke.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
In the next second, a laughter that sounded very awkward sounded, and a beautiful young man with long blond hair came out from the street corner with his hands on his hips, with a proud look on his face.
"How is my latest clay bomb, isn't that powerful, Kimimaro? I know you're fine, don't pretend to be dead, now fight me."
Deidara said loudly, aiming one palm at the thick smoke, and a mouth appeared in the palm of his hand, with a tongue sticking out, stirring flexibly.
"Deidara, your ninjutsu is as disgusting as ever."
Kimimaro's voice came from the thick smoke. Immediately, a gust of wind swept across the street, blowing away the thick smoke, revealing the silhouettes of Kimimaro and Haku.
At this moment, the two of them had four huge ice mirrors erected around them, and it was these 4 mirrors that resisted the explosion of the Deidara clay bomb.
Haku glanced at Kimimaro, and after receiving the gesture from the latter's eyes, he clasped his hands and released the ice mirror he made with his Kekkei Genkai.
"Are you going to fight together or alone? It seems that I have to find a small follower for myself."
Deidara rubbed his chin with his hand, rolled his eyes, and smiled at Kimimaro, "After I beat you, why don't I take Haku as my lackey."
"If you want to die, you can try."
Kimimaro said coldly, judging from his expression, he was absolutely serious when he said this.
"Deidara!"
A clear shout sounded, and Temari and the others ran down from the roof. She took the lead in questioning Deidara, "You created an explosion in the village again and made the streets smoky, aren't you afraid that Tsunade-sama would know?"
Compared to Kimimaro, Deidara is obviously more annoying for her.
He tinkers with his so-called "art" all day long and makes explosions from time to time, just like a terrorist, making everyone feel insecure.
Hearing Tsunade's name, Deidara's expression changed suddenly, thinking of Tsunade's terrifying face and that pair of even more terrifying fists, he shuddered.
However, he still replied stubbornly:
"Everything I do is for art! What do you know?Don't complain to Tsunade-sama if you have the ability, come and fight me one-on-one."
"Okay, how about you fight with our group?" Kankuro pointed to his companions behind him and sneered at Deidara.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Kimimaro shook his head, showing a slightly impatient expression. Then, he said to Deidara:
"Come to the training ground, we will decide the outcome, and end our grievances."
After saying that, he walked forward without looking back.
When Deidara heard that, he was stunned for a moment, and then shouted at Kimimaro's back: "Who is afraid of who? Hum."
He hummed softly and followed.
'There is a good show.'
Temari and the others seeing this, followed up with excitement.
The group came to the training ground outside the village in a mighty way.
Perhaps it was because everyone went to see the airship, the normally busy training ground was empty at this time, which was a suitable stage for the battle.
"Be careful."
Haku said in a low voice beside Kimimaro, then glanced at Deidara, who looked like a sloppy boy, and then silently walked to the stand to join Temari and the others.
As soon as a group of little kids picked a seat and sat down, they couldn't wait to discuss the upcoming battle.
"I bet that Kimimaro will win. His strength is greatest among us. That guy Deidara is obviously a latecomer, and he still wants to be the boss, he is not Kimimaro's opponent at all."
"I don't think it's easy to say. Deidara has a lot of tricks, and he's not as direct as Kimimaro. He often makes sneak attacks in fights. If Kimimaro is not careful, he might fall into his hands.
Some are optimistic about Kimimaro, and some are optimistic about Deidara.
Just when they were talking with great interest, a voice suddenly came from outside the training ground.
"Yo, it seems I have come at a great time."
They saw a man wearing a shark mask and an Anbu uniform carrying a large bag. He came to the stand, sat down next to them with his legs crossed,.
Temari frowned when she saw the strange man.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Kankuro asked curiously, noticing Temari's expression.
"If I remember correctly, Anbu's ninjas can't easily leave their posts without permission, let alone show up at the training ground alone."
Temari whispered, casting a suspicious look at the masked man.
Seemingly aware of Temari's eyes, the masked man suddenly turned his head and greeted them: "Hello. I just want to watch, don't mind me."
"Uncle, are you a Anbu?" Karin, who was closest to the masked man, was the first to respond and asked curiously.
"Yes, you're so smart."
The masked man pointed to his mask and explained, "I heard an explosion in the nearby street, so I came to see if it's Deidara making trouble again. But now it seems that Kimimaro will help me teach him a lesson, maybe I won't have to do it after all."
'So that's what it is.'.
After listening to these words, they suddenly realized, and Temari's inner doubts were also eliminated.
"That's right. I bought some snacks when I passed by the convenience store on the street just now. You can share it with everyone. It's a treat from me."
The masked man said and handed the big bag in his hand to Karin.
"Wow!"
Inside the bag, as said, it was full of various snacks and drinks, which made Karin let out a wow sound, and was very happy.
"Anbu-san, thank you."
Karin said sweetly, and together with her good friend Hinata, they happily distributed the snacks in the bag to everyone.
Kankuro took a bowl of dumplings, quietly took out a tool that looked like a thin needle, and stabbed the dumplings a few times, and then said:
"Food is ok."
'Am I thinking too much?'
Temari hearing that withdrew the suspicious gaze from the masked man.
'Maybe, he is really an Anbu who likes children and treats people warmly?'
But right now, this is not the most important issue, because in the training ground, the battle between Kimimaro and Deidara has already begun.
"Nine-tailed brat, as long as I can defeat the strongest you, I can prove my explosive art to Tsunade-sama. And from now on, you will all obey my orders, hahaha!"
Deidara pointed at Kimimaro and announced ambitiously.
"Idiot, that's just your wishful thinking. I can easily defeat you without the power of the Nine Tails."
Kimimaro folded his arms around his chest and looked contemptuous.
What he has always looked down on the most is a sloppy guy like Deidara.
"Okay! This is what you said, you don't need the power of the nine tails, and I don't need the chakra of the four tails in my body, is it fair? We will rely on our own true abilities to see who is the strongest. "
Deidara rolled his eyes and said.
What he is most afraid of is the nine tails in Kimimaro's body. After all, the nine tails is much more powerful than the four tails. He didn't expect the opponent to give up the strongest trump card, so he can't blame him.
"I will count three, let's officially start."
Deidara seeing that Kimimaro did not object to his proposal, his eyes flashed, he stretched out a finger, and immediately counted aloud, "One"
As soon as this "one" was said, Deidara's mouth suddenly turned up, revealing a sinister smile.
At the same time.
'Boom!'
As Deidara raised his finger, it seemed that he had activated some kind of ninjutsu, and the ground under Kimimaro's feet suddenly exploded, and the fire and smoke engulfed him again.
"Hahaha, I know this is your most frequent training ground, so I secretly planted a lot of clay bombs here last night. You are sure to lose this battle, Kimimaro!"
Deidara put his hands on his hips again and smiled smugly.
"This shameless fellow."
In the stands, the kids clenched their fists and condemned Deidara's despicable sneak attack.
However, the shark mask man shook his head and said:
"Victory in battle by all means is the way of real ninja. Deidara has grasped the essence of it at a young age."
