As the alarm echoed across the city, Deidara glanced at the giant clay owl beneath him and chuckled, "It's my turn to show my art, yeah."
"C1 · Clay Spiders!"
Deidara threw out countless clay spiders from his hands. These spiders crawled swiftly towards the combat aircraft stationed on the runway.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In an instant, all the exposed fighter jets were destroyed by Deidara's explosions.
"Hahaha!"
As Deidara laughed maniacally, the giant owl took off, dropping a barrage of clay birds onto the runway below.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The twin-winged birds flew at incredible speeds, crashing into hangars and control towers, causing massive explosions.
The Wakandan soldiers at the runway were taken aback by the sudden attack and retaliated with their weapons.
"Shush! Shush! Shush!"
Beams of laser fire shot towards Deidara in the sky, but the giant owl agilely dodged them. As it evaded, Deidara kept throwing more bombs down.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Hahaha, feel the embrace of art!"
…
In Shuri's lab-
King T'Chaka and his son T'Challa had just donned their Black Panther suits, preparing to join the battle. At this time, Shuri spoke up:
"Father, there's an enemy at the runway. He's bombing our jets and hangars."
She displayed the battle scene of Deidara on a large screen. T'Chaka muttered, "Another ninja..."
He looked at his son, T'Challa, who shook his head and said, "I don't recognize them, but they aren't from the Sand Village based on their headbands."
T'Chaka thought for a moment and then exclaimed, "They're here for the Vibranium!"
…
At the Vibranium storage vault, a Dora Milaje led Uchiha Itachi and Hidan to the entrance. The guards questioned her, "Who are these two?"
Itachi threw out shurikens, swiftly killing the guards. He then turned to Hidan and said, "Guard the entrance. I'll retrieve the Vibranium."
Hidan slashed the Dora Milaje with his scythe, killing her, and remarked, "She's of no further use."
Hidan stood at the entrance with his scythe, ready for anyone who might come.
Uchiha Itachi came to the gate, reached out his hand, opened the door, and walked in.
"clang!"
After entering, he did not forget to close the door again.
When Uchiha Itachi entered the warehouse, he saw rectangular boxes neatly arranged in the warehouse.
He opened one box after another, revealing the blue Vibranium inside.
After nodding in satisfaction, he started to store everything using sealing scrolls.
Outside, a group of Wakandan soldiers arrived, aiming their spears at Hidan and shouting, "Eliminate him!"
Laser beams shot toward Hidan, but he dodged them and countered with his scythe.
Hidan grinned, "Too weak."
He charged at the soldiers, swinging his scythe.
"Defensive formation!"
One soldier shouted, and the others raised their cloaks, generating blue energy shields. Hidan's scythe clanged against the shields, but he quickly moved behind them, slicing through their waists.
"Clang!"
The energy shields shattered, and the soldiers fell, bisected. Blood poured from their wounds, staining the ground.
Hidan, unconcerned, returned to guard the entrance, waiting for Itachi.
…
Elsewhere-
W'Kabi led a large group of Wakandan soldiers to confront Kisame Hoshigaki.
W'Kabi, pointing his Vibranium spear at Kisame, shouted, "Who are you? Why attack Wakanda?"
Kisame grinned, "I am Kisame Hoshigaki of the Akatsuki. And you?"
"W'Kabi!"
"Water Release: Water Colliding Wave!"
Without more words, Kisame rapidly formed hand seals, summoning a swirling column of water that expanded like a river, surging toward W'Kabi and his men.
W'Kabi shouted, "Defensive formation!"
The Wakandan soldiers took a step forward, moving in front of W'Kabi and lifting their cloaks to form a protective shield wall against the incoming wave.
"Boom!"
The water collided with the energy shields, creating a loud roar. Seeing his first wave blocked, Kisame smirked, "You can block the first wave, but what about the second?"
"Water Release: Great Water Colliding Wave!"
If the first wave was like a river, this one was like a sea, with a massive wave towering above the energy shields.
Soldiers quickly jumped onto the shoulders of those in the front row, raising their shields higher in a desperate attempt to block the impending flood.
Seeing the second attack, W'Kabi climbed to a higher vantage point and blew the horn hanging from his chest.
"Oooh, oooh, oooh~~"
The wave hit just two seconds after W'Kabi sounded the horn, crashing against the energy shields.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The colossal waves repeatedly struck the shields, causing the energy barriers to flicker as if they might shatter at any moment. Yet, they held against Kisame's ninjutsu.
However, the overflowing water still reached the soldiers, submerging their legs. W'Kabi sighed in relief, seeing the attack was blocked once more.
But Kisame grinned ominously. W'Kabi sensed danger and muttered, "This is bad!"
"Lightning Release: Earth Travel!"
This was a technique Kisame had learned from after coming to this world. Though lightning is not his primary element, it was perfect for the current situation.
Blue lightning arced from the water's surface, instantly electrocuting and paralyzing the soldiers.
"Ahhh!"
The Wakandan soldiers fell, electrocuted and incapacitated. With the defense line broken, Kisame picked up his Samehada and charged at the remaining Wakandan forces.
Suddenly, a herd of large, Vibranium-armored rhinos appeared behind Kisame, charging at him and shaking the ground with their powerful strides.
Kisame turned to face the rhinos, impressed by their armor. "Is that Vibranium?" he wondered aloud, clearly surprised.
W'Kabi seized the opportunity and shouted, "Charge!"
The soldiers, armed with Vibranium weapons, charged at Kisame. Kisame swung Samehada at the incoming rhinos, striking their armor.
"Thud!"
The rhino continued its charge, unaffected. Seeing his attack being blocked by the vibranium armor, Kisame clicked his tongue, "What a waste of good material on these beasts."
The other rhinos continued their assault, but their speed was no match for Kisame. He crouched and slashed at the unprotected legs of the nearest rhino.
"Boom!"
The rhino tumbled, crashing into the ones behind it, causing chaos in their ranks.
W'Kabi screamed in despair, "No!"
Kisame swiftly incapacitated four rhinos, while the remaining ones had already charged at the Wakandan soldiers.
W'Kabi and his men leaped onto the rhinos, firing lasers at Kisame.
"Shush! Shush! Shush!"
"Substitution Jutsu!"
Kisame evaded the laser barrage with a substitution technique, leaving a decoy that was destroyed by the blasts.
"Attack!"
The Wakandan soldiers and their rhino-mounted comrades surged forward, aiming to encircle Kisame.
…
Meanwhile, at the mining site on Wakanda's outskirts, soldiers rushed towards the parked aircraft.
"Hurry, get the planes ready to support!"
The planes at the runway and hangars were destroyed by Deidara, but a reserve squadron remained at the mine.
These dragonfly-like Wakandan jets took off, quickly entering stealth mode and heading towards Deidara's location.
Deidara stood on his giant clay owl, continuously dropping bombs on the Wakandan soldiers below.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Explosions lit up the ground, and Deidara smiled in ecstasy. "Art, this is art!"
"Too bad Sasori isn't here to enjoy this with me."
As Deidara reveled in his art, a laser beam suddenly pierced his chest.
A soldier on the stealth jet shouted excitedly, "I hit him!"
Deidara glanced at the hole in his chest and remarked, "So, there were survivors."
The next moment, Deidara turned into a white clay doll, which crumbled. More lasers shot out, destroying the giant clay owl.
From beneath the rubble, Deidara's true form emerged, glaring at the sky.
"Found you."
He flung out several twin-winged birds, which flew rapidly towards the stealth jets.
"Warning: unidentified flying objects approaching!"
"Boom!"
The first twin-winged bird exploded, revealing the jet's position. Three more birds followed, exploding upon impact and destroying the jet in a fireball.
More twin-winged birds circled the sky as Deidara quickly crafted more explosives.
A soldier in one of the stealth jets commanded, "Two of you, with me, target those birds. The rest, focus on any new flying objects and attack their origin."
"Roger!"
"Shush! Shush! Shush!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three stealth jets fired lasers at the birds, causing them to explode in mid-air. Fireballs dotted the sky as the twin-winged birds were annihilated.
Deidara noticed the jets' positions and sent more birds and spiders from the rubble below. As they took flight, they were targeted and destroyed by other jets.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Laser fire rained down, enveloping Deidara's position in smoke.
"Is he dead?"
"Whosh!"
A giant clay owl burst from the smoke, with Deidara atop it.
"I've found all of you. Become art!"
More clay birds and twin-winged birds flew out, filling the sky. Deidara clutched a bird and formed a hand seal.
"Ha!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sky filled with explosions, engulfing the stealth jets and turning them into fireballs.
