Chapter 511 Obito's Hope
Judging from the fact that Deidara started modifying his eyes after losing to Itachi, in an attempt to resist genjutsu, he was very willing and skilled at using research to make up for his own shortcomings.
This is actually what Orochimaru and Bai Mo meant when they said that Sasori would lose his "scientific research spirit" after losing his emotions, a quality that is rare in the ninja world.
In the original work, Deidara did not improve the explosive clay because he was still young and had never encountered a worthy opponent in lightning style who could give him a setback and prompt him to start the improvement plan.
Deidara's battle tactic was long-range, large-scale bombardment.
Even if a typical Lightning Release ninja could counter the exploding clay, they wouldn't have the chance to use it.
And to be honest, in the original work, Deidara's actions towards Sasuke were far from needing to involve self-destruction.
In the end, Sasuke ran out of chakra and couldn't even maintain his Sharingan. Deidara was making wild guesses, thinking that Sasuke looked down on him, which was why he activated his self-destruction technique.
Thanks to Bai Mo's advance warning, Deidara had already been considering this idea for some time.
Deidara had already tried various ways to defend against Lightning Release.
Among them is the classic "grounding wire".
However, this method also has its drawbacks.
First, its sensitivity is greatly reduced; second, even after the "ground line" is severed, it can still be countered with Lightning Release.
Until now, Deidara has a new method.
"What?!"
Kakashi was somewhat astonished to find that the explosive clay covered in purple lightning did not stop at all, and continued to crawl densely towards him and Naruto.
Kakashi didn't know that Lightning Release could directly silence the explosive clay, but he at least knew that Lightning Release countered Earth Release. Yet Deidara's explosive clay was completely unaffected.
What exactly is going on?
Could it be that the detonating clay is unrelated to earth-escape techniques?
However, Kakashi had also activated Sage Mode at this time and quickly sensed it.
On Deidara's exploding clay, there was a mixture of natural energy, and the natural energy had an invisible layer of lines, like the Frog Gauntlets, connecting to the ground and directing the damage of the purple lightning to the earth.
"So that's how it is. As expected, there isn't a single simple person in the Akatsuki."
After Kakashi figured it out, he immediately felt overwhelmed.
"Hey Kakashi, hurry up and put that thing behind you in front of you as a shield. What are you protecting him for? My little bit of explosive clay can't possibly blow away his Tailed Beast Cloak, can it?"
Deidara wasn't going to stop; he simply gave Kakashi a reminder.
Having witnessed Bai Mo's various bizarre strategies, Deidara's mindset has also undergone some changes.
As the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black."
Deidara now only felt that Kakashi was a little out of his mind.
A mortal body of flesh and blood goes to save a perfect Jinchuriki who is cloaked in the form of a Tailed Beast.
What does that mean?
"Kamui!"
After Kakashi came to his senses, upon hearing Deidara's suggestion, he neither stepped back nor followed Deidara's advice to protect Naruto in front of him. Instead, he immediately activated Kamui.
Kakashi wasn't aiming at the exploding clay itself; he was making an attempt.
Natural energy is invisible and cannot be severed by physical attacks.
But spatial distortion is different.
Kamui can sever the connection to natural energy.
however.
boom--
Kakashi's pupils contracted.
Deidara's Sage Art: Exploding Clay not only has natural energy connecting it to the earth, but this connection is also the switch to detonate it.
If it detonates at the moment of severance, it will prevent the lightning release from extinguishing it after severance.
Kakashi had no choice but to immediately increase the input of chakra and ocular power, expanding the range of Kamui and using Kamui to redirect the explosion as well.
And he used Kamui to move all the remaining explosive clay.
The moment these explosive clays are transferred, the connection is severed, and they will detonate immediately.
However, this is no longer Kakashi's concern.
Since Obito's chakra is already restricted and he can't enter or leave the Kamui dimension, there's no need to worry about him getting blown up.
Besides, if Obito really got hit by the explosion, then Obito deserved it.
Obito's appearance in the Kamui dimension indicates that he has found a way to escape.
"..."
Deidara was very displeased to see Kakashi kneeling on one knee, panting heavily, having expended a lot of chakra.
He tried his best to counter Lightning Release.
However, space-time ninjutsu is still too overpowered.
He needs to think of a solution.
Just like how Konan used explosive tags to counter the masked man.
He also needs to find a way to use explosive clay to counter this space-time ninjutsu that can teleport.
however.
In the hidden village of Yuyin, in a cave where no signal can be detected.
Obito, lost and confused about life, lay there motionless.
Obito had absolutely no idea how to proceed with the future.
Can only be left to fate.
Obito didn't even know who he should pray to.
Suddenly, Obito felt a strange sensation.
"This is……"
Obito suddenly opened his eyes and sat up abruptly.
Obito sensed a mysterious source of Sage Chakra appearing on his body.
The source is...
Eye?
Yes, it's the eyes.
After Kakashi activated Sage Mode, he used Kamui over a wide area. Some of the Sage Chakra that Kakashi had gathered inevitably transferred from his eyes into the Kamui dimension.
And it also affected Obito.
Obito was overjoyed.
"Kakashi, Kakashi, I really have to thank you!"
Obito sensed more and more Sage Chakra emerging, soon enough for him to use Kamui once, and he was overjoyed.
He had been constantly implicated by Kakashi's Kamui because of Kakashi, but now it's finally not his defense that's being transferred to him!
Obito was almost in tears.
Indeed, misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise.
He's finally got his wish!
"Madara, you can stay here by yourself. I'll be going now!"
Obito felt as if the clouds had parted and the sky had cleared; even before leaving, he didn't forget to mock Madara.
"?"
Madara, sitting next door, was idly propping his chin up when he heard Obito's voice and felt completely bewildered.
"Was Obito too repressed and went insane?"
Madara was puzzled. He stood up, walked to the cell window, and looked towards Obito's direction.
however.
Before Ban could even reach the cell window, he heard a scream from the other side.
"ah--"
Just as Obito used Kamui, all the explosive clay that had its natural energy cut off fell on him, blasting him upside down as he was overjoyed, thinking he was about to escape.
"...They've really gone mad."
Upon hearing the scream, Ban's lips twitched, and he stopped in his tracks.
In Obito's cell.
Obito lay miserably on the ground.
—Actually, he had a chance to leave. If he had just endured the exploding clay, he could have left the cell as a corpse.
Perhaps one day when Kakashi uses Kamui, he will find his body.
