Since the meteorite was in a burning state, its volume was completely incomparable to Madara Uchiha's Heavenly Obstacle Shock Star, and it was only slightly larger than a Tailed Beast Ball when it landed.
The range of the mushroom cloud was also not as large as the impact of two Heavenly Obstacle Shock Stars.
However, the high-temperature shock wave generated by the meteorite explosion was more lethal than the Heavenly Obstacle Shock Star, and its power was not inferior to the Tailed Beast Ball, which was an energy body explosion.
When the mushroom cloud dissipated, the mountain where Sasori of the Red Sand and Deidara were previously located had been blasted away.
The mountain where they were hiding was much larger than the surrounding hills, so only a small part of it was blasted away.
A huge meteorite crater appeared in the mountain range.
All that remained in place were countless rubble, high-temperature scorching, and molten fragments of the meteorite.
"Art, this is simply art!"
As soon as the shaking stopped, Deidara, who was unharmed under the layers of protection of the mountain and the iron ball, came out of the black ball, created a Clay Bird, and flew in the air to look at the scene below.
His expression was fanatical, wishing he could self-detonate on the spot to compete with Izayoi.
"Idiot, come down quickly."
Sasori of the Red Sand's reprimanding voice came from below.
"Not bad, you actually survived unscathed."
At this moment, a strange voice entered the ears of the two.
Izayoi's figure appeared above Deidara again at some point.
Hearing this voice, Deidara immediately looked up with a surprised expression, and asked nonsensically, "Hey, do you also think that the beauty of a moment is the real art?"
"Are you talking about explosions?"
Unlike those who didn't understand or disdained it, Izayoi nodded and replied very seriously, "Explosions are indeed very beautiful, and they are a powerful beauty, the stronger the more beautiful. The reason why tailed beasts and jinchuriki are frightening is because they can use the amazing Tailed Beast Ball of explosion."
"Right, right..."
Deidara shouted excitedly, "As expected, explosion is art! Sasori, my art has been recognized."
"Idiot, that guy is the enemy." Sasori of the Red Sand reprimanded again, while not forgetting to affirm his own art, "Also, eternal beauty is the real art."
"No, it's the beauty of a moment!"
"It's eternal beauty!"
"..."
For a time, the two quarreled in the sky and on the ground.
Izayoi didn't disturb them, but instead folded his arms and watched this scene with interest.
"Hmph, I'm not talking to you anymore."
In the end, Deidara, who was only sixteen years old this year, ended the quarrel impatiently.
He first turned his head and snorted, then looked at Izayoi and said enthusiastically, "Little brother, you understand art so well, do you want to join our organization?"
It was rare to find someone with similar interests, and Deidara really wanted to recruit Izayoi.
"Oh? What kind of organization are you?" Izayoi asked with a playful smile.
"We are..."
Deidara was about to answer when he heard Sasori of the Red Sand's reprimanding voice, "Shut up! Deidara, do you want to die?"
Hearing this, Deidara seemed to remember something and had to stop himself from continuing.
However, he still said to Izayoi, "Buddy, if you join us, I'll tell you."
"Joining your organization is out of the question, but being friends is fine."
Izayoi looked at Sasori of the Red Sand below and said, "You already gave me a greeting gift, as a return gift, can you give me your Puppet Technique and the method of making Human Puppets?"
"Is that why you came looking for me?" Sasori of the Red Sand said in a deep voice, but he felt a hint of secret pleasure in his heart.
It seems that this guy understands art quite well.
But he's a bit of a playboy, clearly liking his eternal art, yet giving Deidara's explosion art such high praise.
"That's right."
Izayoi, of course, didn't know what Sasori of the Red Sand was thinking.
He nodded, ready to act at any time.
"Buddy, what do you want Scorpion's Puppet Technique for? Those things are not art at all, why not learn Explosion Release from me... um!" Deidara said.
As soon as Deidara finished speaking, Sasori of the Red Sand's voice rang out, "Okay, I'll give it to you."
"?"
A question mark couldn't help but appear on Izayoi's forehead under the mask.
So easy?
With such a serious look, I thought he wouldn't be willing and we'd have to fight.
Suddenly, Izayoi seemed to remember something, and his heart suddenly dawned.
I almost forgot, Sasori of the Red Sand's main body has also become a Human Puppet.
"Then thank you."
Izayoi was very happy to get what he wanted so easily.
Izayoi's original idea was to kill Sasori of the Red Sand, then confiscate his inheritance, and even turn him into a member of the Wireless Puppet army.
However, while admiring the explosion just now, he took a look at the Perks on Sasori of the Red Sand, and Izayoi dismissed the idea.
[Puppet Master (Purple)]
[Kage-Level Aptitude (Purple)]
[Chakra Control (Purple)]
In this world where there is no hope of surpassing Kage-level without being related to the Otsutsuki Clan, even if you can obtain power beyond Kage-level, you have to pay the price of your life. Purple Perks are the highest-level Perks that all geniuses can possess.
And Purple Perks are the standard for Kage-level.
In this era, there are too few Kage-level powerhouses.
Even fewer Kage-level powerhouses have three Purple Perks like Sasori of the Red Sand.
Deidara next to him only has two Purple Perks: Bloodline Limit Explosion Release (Purple) and Kage-Level Aptitude (Purple).
However, no one is born a Puppet Master; at most, they are just a Genius (Blue) like Izayoi.
The newest novels are first published at 69shu!
Sasori of the Red Sand obviously transformed himself into a Human Puppet to defy fate, turning a Puppet Genius (Blue) into a Puppet Master (Purple).
It's such a pity to kill such a talent.
He should be repeatedly fleeced like Sasuke Uchiha.
When Izayoi's Tenseigan completes its final evolution, if he wants to go further, he must upgrade his Otsutsuki Bloodline, which requires a massive amount of points.
A Purple Perk can be decomposed into a random four-digit number of points.
Since they didn't die from the initial greeting, Izayoi doesn't mind letting them off the hook.
Although if pushed too hard, Deidara's C4·Garuda and C0·Self-Detonation could pose a threat to Izayoi.
However, their strength has not reached the Super-Kage level.
If they are not Super-Kage level fighters, then they still fall into the category of "a ninja's battle is a battle of information."
As a transmigrator, Izayoi knows too much about their information.
On the other hand, the two of them know nothing about Izayoi.
Perhaps this is why Sasori of the Red Sand agreed so readily.
Otherwise, if a passerby ran out and wanted him to hand over the Puppet Technique and the manufacturing method of Human Puppets, if Sasori of the Red Sand was in a good mood, he would reward him by turning him into a member of the puppet army.
If he was in a bad mood, it would be a poisonous needle or a tail slap to death, and then his corpse would be exposed in the wilderness.
"Here are the things for you."
Sasori of the Red Sand took out three scrolls, wrapped them with his iron tail, and threw them towards Deidara in the sky.
As for why he didn't throw them at Izayoi, it was naturally because he was too high up.
Before Deidara could descend to catch them, Izayoi opened his palm.
An invisible gravitational force immediately stopped the flying scrolls, and then they slowly floated in the air.
"This is... Almighty Pull?!"
Seeing this scene, both Deidara and Sasori of the Red Sand's main body changed their expressions and looked at Izayoi in astonishment.
The silly Deidara even tentatively asked, "Leader?"
What an idiot!
Sasori of the Red Sand's heart was filled with helplessness.
As expected...
Izayoi said with interest, "Almighty Pull? A good name for a move. Does your Leader also use gravity?"
"Crap!"
Deidara hurriedly covered his mouth, realizing he had achieved his goal of snitching on himself.
The scroll didn't fly to Izayoi's face but stopped in the air a dozen meters away.
Izayoi lightly swiped his finger, and the scroll opened automatically.
Seeing that no poisonous gas was ejected, Izayoi used the Tenseigan's farsight to look at it with peace of mind.
After only a few glances, Izayoi nodded and sucked the scroll over.
Then, looking down at Deidara and Sasori of the Red Sand below, he waved goodbye and said, "Thanks for the gift. Goodbye for now, my friends."
After saying that, Izayoi flew away.
Watching his departing figure, Sasori of the Red Sand, who had been prepared for the other party to turn hostile and engage in a deadly battle, breathed a sigh of relief.
Having witnessed the other party's flight and meteor, Sasori of the Red Sand was certain that this was a type that countered him.
If it weren't for Deidara's presence, he would have taken advantage of the smoke and run away long ago.
Seeing the other party use the Leader's ability, Sasori of the Red Sand recalled the scene of the poison needles being bounced off earlier, and he felt an even greater sense of despair that he couldn't win.
Fortunately, the other party had no intention to kill.
But this feeling of being robbed on the road and almost killed was really frustrating!
