"You're absolutely right. Your words have enlightened me and elevated my art to new heights. I should seek out more worthy opponents to prove the greatness of my art. And since you don't seem particularly weak, I'll grant you the privilege of being the first to witness my art!!!" Deidara exclaimed excitedly.
"You've pointed me in the right direction, so even if you don't thank me, isn't it a bit unbecoming of an artist to jump straight into action like this?" Miao said with a faint smile.
"You talk a big game, but who knows if your strength matches your sharp tongue?!!!" Seeing that he couldn't outwit Miao, Deidara stopped bothering with words and let out a loud shout instead.
"Ho ho, what a temperamental guy," Miao chuckled, finding Deidara's agitated gestures quite amusing.
"Enough chatter!! Let me show you my art!!!" Deidara roared, disregarding all else as he quickly reached for the weapon pouch at his waist.
"Hmm!!!" Miao raised an eyebrow, his body tensing up. He knew Deidara was about to unleash his ninjutsu. Sure enough, Deidara pulled his hand out of the pouch, holding a lump of white material in his palm. The mouth on his hand seemed to sense something delicious and immediately began devouring the substance.
"So that white material is what causes the explosion? Mixing chakra into it and then detonating it—this must be the principle behind his technique," Miao thought as the three tomoe in his Sharingan spun rapidly, allowing him to clearly observe Deidara's movements.
The white clay was gradually consumed by the mouth on his palm, which then spat out numerous small white spiders. Each spider now contained a significant amount of infused chakra.
"Behold the greatness of my art!!!" Deidara shouted excitedly before hurling the white spiders downward. A torrent of them rained down upon Miao.
"Oh no!! I can't let those spiders touch me, or I'll be blown to bits!!!" Miao realized in alarm, his body darting across the grass at high speed.
"Hmph!! You can't escape!!!" Deidara laughed loudly. After landing, the spiders didn't explode immediately but instead began moving along the grass, swiftly chasing after Miao as if they were alive.
"They can move freely like living creatures?! What kind of ninjutsu is this?!" Miao's expression changed dramatically as a sea of white spiders swarmed toward him from behind.
"This won't do!!" Miao decisively stopped running and quickly formed hand seals. "Fire Style—Great Fireball Technique!!!"
BANG!!!!!! A massive fireball erupted from Miao's mouth, hurtling backward at incredible speed and engulfing the white spiders on the grass.
As the fireball swallowed the spiders, it instantly detonated, triggering a chain reaction as the spiders themselves exploded. Dozens of simultaneous explosions unleashed a tremendous force. BOOM!!!!!!!!!! A deafening roar echoed through the air, flames shooting skyward while a violent shockwave tore across the field like a galloping horse, causing the trees at the edge of the clearing to sway violently.
"Tch, not bad at all," Deidara smirked from the sky. If such an attack could take him down, it wouldn't be any fun.
"It's far away, but it'll have to do," Miao thought silently, leaping into the air and forming rapid hand seals. "Fire Style—Dragon Flame Elegy Technique!!!!!!"
A thunderous dragon's roar resounded—"ROAR!!!!!!!" Over a dozen enormous flaming dragon heads erupted from Miao's mouth, roaring fiercely as they surged toward Deidara in the sky.
"What an incredible Fire Style technique! What kind of jutsu is this?!!!" Deidara's face turned pale with shock as he saw the massive dragon heads bearing down on him. He had never encountered such a lifelike and overwhelming Fire Style technique before.
Though the dragon heads were massive and fearsome, their speed was astonishing. Moreover, the sheer number of them left almost no room for Deidara to evade.
"Damn it!!!!" Deidara gritted his teeth, realizing there was no way to dodge. He reluctantly abandoned the large bird beneath his feet and leapt off just in time.
BANG!!!!!!!!!! Without question, the white bird was consumed by the fire dragons, producing a colossal explosion that shook the heavens. The sky was now engulfed in blazing flames, casting an intensely vivid glow.
Deidara landed back on the grass, his expression darkening. Moments ago, he had been smug and confident in the sky—but now, a single Fire Style technique had sent him crashing to the ground. For someone who prided himself as an artist, this blow to his pride was unbearable.
At this point, Deidara was still far from the peak of his later self. Many of his advanced explosive clay techniques remained undeveloped, leaving him reliant on simple creations. His power was leagues apart from where it would eventually be. Against Miao's A-rank Fire Style technique, the Dragon Flame Elegy, he stood no chance, and his aerial advantage vanished completely.
Miao stood calmly on the ground, speaking indifferently: "Are you satisfied now?"
"Damn it!!! This guy isn't an ordinary ninja!!" Deidara's face grew grim as he stared intently at Miao. Though arrogant and self-assured, Deidara wasn't a fool. Only now did he realize that the person standing before him was on an entirely different level from the average shinobi he'd faced in the past.
