The Road to the Throne of White Eyes

In the desert of the Land of Wind, the wind and sand rage, turning the landscape into a hazy yellow, and the roar of the wind fills the ears. Accepting the organization's mission, Deidara and Sasori are sent on foot through the wind and sand to the Sand Village to retrieve the One-Tailed Shukaku.

"Pah, there's sand everywhere. This is such a terrible place. I wouldn't come here if I couldn't show off my art here."

Deidara spat out a mouthful of sand with an unhappy look on his face, turned his head and looked at Scorpion beside him, and he suddenly became interested.

"Brother Scorpion, how does it feel to return to the Sand Village and kill your own Kazekage? Do you feel your heart beating faster?"

"Open your useless eyes and see clearly, Deidara. I have already left the Sand Village! As for the Kazekage, it is ridiculous that the position is filled with incompetent people. It would be better to replace it as soon as possible."

Scorpion's face was hidden and could not be seen at all, and there was no trace of nostalgia for the Sand Village in his hoarse and strange voice.

"Brother Scorpion, you are really cruel to the place where you were born," Deidara said in a surprised tone, but the expression on his face was as if it was a matter of course.

"Since Brother Scorpion doesn't care about the Sand Village, then let me take on this battle. I've wanted to showcase my art in a large ninja village for a long time. This is a great opportunity for me to prove with facts that explosion is the most perfect art, the ultimate goal worthy of our lifelong pursuit..."

"You're talking too much nonsense, Deidara. I repeat, true art is eternal, just like my puppet.

Your so-called explosive art is just a boring facade!"

"No, puppets are no match for the dazzling beauty of an explosion. Brother Scorpion, your artistic taste needs some adjustment. Don't worry, let me demonstrate the art of explosion to you today. You'll definitely agree with me after you see it!"

........

They argued from time to time along the way, and the wind and sand could not stop the two strong men. Soon Deidara and Sasori arrived at the entrance of the Sand Village.

"Scorpion-sama, Yura has been waiting for a long time."

The entrance to the Sand Village, which should have been heavily guarded, now had ninjas guarding it all fallen to the ground. Yura, the elite Jonin of the Sand Village who was in charge of the defense, greeted Scorpion respectfully.

Scorpion ignored the courtesy of his subordinates, but took another look at the bag that Deidara took out before entering.

"Are you sure you have enough clay? After all, he is the leader of a ninja village and also the One-Tail Jinchuriki!"

"Don't worry, Brother Scorpion. I have prepared a special trick."

Deidara acted completely unconcerned, completely disregarding the Sand Ninja's status as one of the five great ninja villages. Rather than wariness or fear, his face often displayed excitement and eagerness.

Scorpion was speechless at Deidara's arrogance. He gave a final word of advice in a cold voice: "I hope you still have a last bit of vigilance. If you die, it will prove that your explosion is nothing but false art."

As they were talking, they were almost at the end of the passage.

Deidara couldn't wait to reach into the bag, swallowed a piece of clay with the mouth in his palm, chewed it a few times and finished it. Then Deidara waved his hand and the clay turned into a bird.

"Brother Scorpion, just watch my performance here."

Deidara said as he dropped the clay bird to the ground. Then, he formed seals with his hands and the clay bird suddenly grew larger. Deidara smiled confidently at Scorpion, jumped onto the bird's back, and prepared to sneak into the Sand Village from the air.

"wrong!"

At this moment, Scorpion suddenly cried out in surprise, and then the ground beneath their feet suddenly collapsed. Endless sand rushed out from the ground, forming four sand walls that surrounded Deidara and the other two.

Before Deidara and the other two could make a move, the sky above them suddenly darkened. Deidara looked up and saw a giant hand made of sand, a hundred meters long, suddenly descending from the sky and swatting them like a fly swatter.

"Damn it! The Sand Ninja actually attacked first!"

Deidara was not at all panicked when facing the giant hand of sand. He controlled the bird under his feet to circle and fly around, bypassing the sharp sand column that rose up and caught Scorpion.

"go with!"

Deidara chewed quickly with his mouth in his palm, and soon spit out several flying birds to meet the giant palm.

Boom!

The bird collided with the giant palm, and a violent explosion ensued. The powerful force caused the giant palm of sand to shatter. Tens of tons of sand fell from the sky, and the entrance to the Sand Village was suddenly transformed into a sea of ​​sand that was invisible to the naked eye.

The sound waves from the explosion were contained by the rock barriers and sand walls on either side. The shockwave and sound waves caused Yura, already floating in mid-air, to completely lose control. He was then pierced by a sharp column of sand that shot up from the ground, hanging from it like a skewer of barbecue.

"what!"

Yura's shrill screams and the sound waves of the explosion echoed endlessly, and Scorpion's figure shook violently, as if these sound waves had caused him some kind of damage.

"Deidara, the terrain here is too unfavorable. Don't get entangled here, fly out first!"

"Of course I know!"

Deidara, who had just taken off his hat to try to be cool and got sand in his eyes, cried out in annoyance.

"Bah, bah, bah"

As soon as he opened his mouth, his mouth was filled with sand again. Deidara forced himself to suppress his tears and the urge to curse, and barely relied on his perception to control the clay bird to fly upwards.

At this moment, the sand that had been shattered by Deidara's explosion, under unseen command, rose into the air and formed a series of twisting sand snakes, pursuing Deidara and his companions. The passage was narrow, and the clay bird had limited space to dodge. Deidara's vision was also limited. Despite his efforts to control the bird, it was eventually defeated by the continuous impact of the sand.

collapse!

Deidara and the other man had just fallen from the bird, and were still dozens of meters away from the ground where sand was swirling, when a series of air explosion sounds suddenly rang out.

"careful!"

Scorpion's twisted body suddenly moved, and a mysterious figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Then a huge sand iron triangle appeared out of thin air and wrapped up Scorpion, Deidara and them.

when!

Dozens of crossbow arrows penetrated the sand barrier and slammed into the sand iron triangle. The huge impact force caused the sand iron triangle to fly backwards, knocking a big hole in the rock barrier on one side of the passage!

Boom!

The rock face, already damaged by the previous explosion, was now slammed into the sand iron triangle, causing it to collapse. The falling boulders continuously pounded the sand iron triangle, blocking further attacks from the crossbows and sand snakes.

After a long time, the smoke and dust dissipated, the rock wall collapse stopped, and the scene returned to peace. On one side of the rock passage, a huge sand iron triangle stood stubbornly. Near the triangle, endless sand swirled and roared, like a giant hunting snake, eyeing the triangle with eager eyes.
