As soon as Kabuto finished speaking, Deidara said, "Since you're so sincere, I'll let you witness it. You can't ambush me again."
Deidara started with full vigor, but his voice grew softer as he continued.
Knowing that it was a bit unreasonable to ask someone not to make the first move in a fight and wait for him to prepare, the proud Deidara looked very embarrassed.
Kabuto nodded and took out a pile of senbon and a strange-looking Ninjutsu tool from his Ninjutsu bag.
Deidara, on the other hand, took out a large amount of clay from his Ninjutsu tool pouch and stuffed it into the mouthparts of his hands.
Seeing Kabuto remain unmoved and not rushing over, Deidara's heart was filled with smugness. He would teach this glasses-wearing guy a good lesson later!
Deidara did not use C2 Dragon, as in his eyes, one dragon would completely eliminate Kabuto.
Deidara used C1 to form the spider shape he was best at.
"I'm ready! Now let me show you my art!"
Deidara manipulated about forty to fifty spiders to crawl towards Kabuto.
Kabuto immediately formed hand signs and released Ninjutsu.
"Water Release: Water Trumpet!"
A stream of water directly rushed towards Deidara's clay spiders.
Deidara chuckled in his heart, "Is that all?"
The result was as Deidara expected; besides giving the spiders a bath, it had no other effect. After the water stream passed, the spiders continued to crawl towards Kabuto, dripping wet.
Kabuto then shot out the senbon in his hand, not missing a single spider. All the spiders were pinned in place, unable to move.
"Do you think this can stop me?"
Deidara formed a hand sign with one hand, and the spiders changed. One by one, they pierced through the senbon and continued to advance.
Kabuto calmly watched all the clay spiders crawl towards him, quickly surrounding him.
Nearly fifty clay spiders encircled Kabuto.
Kabuto adjusted his glasses and asked with a smile, "Is this your art?"
Deidara laughed heartily, "Of course not! Let me show you now, art is... EXPLOSION!"
"Hmph!"
Deidara finished speaking, immediately formed hand signs, and let out a fierce roar, full of momentum!
However, the result was completely different from what he expected.
Deidara's clay did not explode, and the annoying glasses-wearing man smiled at him from within the spider encirclement.
Feeling a great loss of face, Deidara said nothing and silently formed another hand sign.
There was no change; his clay spiders still did not explode.
Deidara was now full of disbelief and muttered to himself, "Why is this happening? You clearly used Water Release, not..."
"Not Lightning Release?"
Kabuto finished Deidara's sentence and then said, "Since you've finished your art display, it's my turn!"
Kabuto once again beat Deidara soundly, feeling much more relieved.
Deidara remained in a daze, even when being beaten, he looked absent-minded.
After Kabuto finished healing Deidara again.
Deidara's first words were, "Why? My art was clearly almost perfect!"
At this point, Kabuto had vented his emotions after beating Deidara twice in a row.
Kabuto, without deliberately hiding anything, told Deidara the reason.
"When Yuuki brought you here, he told me about your information, and also introduced my information to you."
"The difference is, you didn't take me seriously, but I'm different. For Yuuki to value you, you naturally have something worth paying attention to!"
Speaking of this, Kabuto recalled the Shadow Clone's performance in front of him back then. Although in Kabuto's current view, it was rather clumsy and not perfect.
However, in that situation, Yuuki was able to accurately seize the opportunity and leave an indelible impression in his heart, which Kabuto found miraculous.
He then looked at Deidara in front of him, wondering how Yuuki managed to trick this Tsuchikage disciple into Konoha, but he imagined it was a similar method.
His thoughts flashed by, and in Deidara's eyes, Kabuto only paused slightly.
"After all, the Yuuki I know never does useless things, and never cares about useless people!"
"So, after understanding your information, I made corresponding preparations for you!"
Saying that, Kabuto raised the strange-looking object in his hand.
"What is this?"
Deidara was very interested in how Kabuto used Water Release to counter his clay bombs.
"This is a Ninjutsu tool made with basic chemistry knowledge that you despise, a chemical battery pack with 20 small batteries inside, each with a voltage of 10 standard units, all connected in series to form a voltage of 200 standard units!"
After introducing the item in his hand, Kabuto continued.
"After understanding the characteristics of your clay, I knew I had to use Lightning Release to counter it. I don't know Lightning Release, but I can make a Ninjutsu tool that is more effective and more covert than Lightning Release!"
"And for you, who are equally ignorant of physics, you don't know that metal and water can also conduct electricity. Each senbon has an invisible steel wire connected to the Ninjutsu tool in my hand!"
Saying that, Kabuto grabbed the battery in his hand, gathering all the steel wires, and Deidara also saw those individual steel wires.
Then Kabuto spoke again.
"So, the moment my senbon hit your clay spiders, all your clay spiders lost their explosiveness!"
A series of explanations coupled with many technical terms, although Kabuto had tried his best to speak simply and directly.
Deidara still didn't understand, but even though he didn't understand, he still thought it was very impressive.
This glasses-wearing guy actually had some skill, hmph!
However, Deidara didn't understand what voltage or battery meant, but at least he understood Lightning Release.
At this moment, Deidara excitedly asked Kabuto, "So, you used Water Release on the surface, but in reality, you still used Lightning Release to counter my clay bombs, right!"
Kabuto now felt like Yuuki did back then, "Why is this guy so foolish!"
But Kabuto finally nodded and said, "If you insist on understanding it that way, it's not wrong!"
Deidara, having received Kabuto's affirmative answer, instantly recovered. All his previous self-doubt and disbelief vanished.
"Hahaha, I knew it! How could my art be countered by Water Release!"
It's all this insidious glasses-wearing guy's fault, hiding Lightning Release in the Water Release!
But what did all those things he said mean? No, I must understand them clearly. My art cannot have such a big flaw!
Watching Deidara regain his arrogant demeanor, Kabuto silently sighed.
Sigh~ Yuuki, the task you've given me is truly too difficult!
Dealing with this Little Brat is indeed too troublesome!
Kabuto asked again, "So, are you still going to learn?"
Although Deidara wanted to learn, how could he, who valued his pride, admit it?
"Hmph! I'm not learning!"
Kabuto did not insist and said, "You don't have to learn, but don't disturb me. Remember, you can't beat me!"
Deidara snorted again, giving no answer.
Kabuto also ignored him and continued his great task of reading.
After a long time, Deidara watched Kabuto's focused appearance, then walked back and forth behind Kabuto.
Finding that Kabuto remained unmoved, Deidara quietly picked up the basic chemistry book he had previously discarded and began to read it, constantly paying attention to Kabuto's movements.
Outside the small courtyard where the two were.
Yuuki, who knew Deidara's personality well, thought that Deidara had been there for three days, so he needed to quickly praise and flatter Deidara to make him feel at ease to study and not cause trouble.
However, when Yuuki arrived outside, he saw two figures diligently studying, as well as scattered clay and Ninjutsu tools, and a messy courtyard covered with traces of Ninjutsu.
Yuuki nodded with satisfaction and then left.
It seems Kabuto and Deidara are getting along very well!
