"I say, Deidara, can you fly a little lower? Only then can I get up there to help you!", Kakuzu looked at Deidara, who was excitedly tossing out his explosive masterpieces like a mischievous child, and couldn't help shouting.
Deidara was having way too much fun blowing things up, but he was flying too high, leaving Kakuzu with no chance to make a move.
Deidara replied with a proud grin, "Hahaha! I don't need your help at all. These stupid Hidden Cloud guys can't break through my defense!"
"Let them see my art! Hm!"
At that moment, Konan descended lightly, her pure white wings fluttering gracefully.
With a gentle wave of her hand, countless exploding tags swept toward Killer Bee like a swarm of locusts.
Killer Bee, who had already transformed into his Eight Tails ox-octopus form, had a huge body that was now an obvious moving target.
At the same time, Sasori was also not idle. He pressed his hands together.
In that instant, the Third Kazekage puppet beneath him did the same.
Right after, a surge of chakra burst out from within the Third Kazekage, turning into iron sand that filled the sky.
This iron sand rapidly gathered in the air, forming two huge iron masses in the blink of an eye, each glinting with a chilling light.
"Iron Sand World Method!", Sasori said in a low voice and increased his control over the chakra.
The two high-density iron sand blocks, with completely opposite magnetic fields, slammed into each other at unbelievable speed and instantly released an extremely powerful magnetic force.
The air around them seemed to twist under the force of the magnetism.
As the magnetic intensity grew stronger, more and more iron sand was drawn in, gradually forming a massive ball of energy.
Finally, when the energy ball reached its limit, it exploded.
A huge repulsive magnetic force surged outward like a raging tide, spreading in all directions wildly.
In an instant, countless cone-shaped iron sand spikes filled the sky like a violent sandstorm.
These cone-shaped spikes were hard and sharp like steel, shooting into the ground at terrifying speed.
Like countless deadly arrows, they rained down on the Eight Tails who was still in the explosion smoke.
"Mmph!"
The Eight Tails let out a deep angry roar and swung its thick and powerful tentacle legs.
It tried to block the dense barrage of iron spikes coming at it like raindrops.
However, even though it did its best, the spikes still scraped across its body, leaving thin cuts behind.
For a tailed beast, these cuts were nothing and would heal in moments.
But the Eight Tails soon sensed something wrong.
"Poison?", The Eight Tails was shocked.
Tailed beasts were immune to most poisons.
But this time, the toxins in the iron sand were extremely unusual.
Even just a minor scratch could instantly kill an ordinary human.
Even the strong Eight Tails now felt weak and powerless.
Killer Bee was stuck in a difficult situation.
Running wasn't easy, and his teammates were too far away to come help in time.
At this critical moment, the dependable Eight Tails stepped in.
It suddenly let out a deafening roar.
The eight huge tails on its body seemed to come alive, wrapping tightly around itself.
Next, the Eight Tails began spinning rapidly, faster and faster, like a giant turbine in high-speed rotation.
As the spinning grew more intense, a massive storm formed instantly.
This was the Eight Tails' unique ultimate technique:
Tailed Beast Eight Twists!
In an instant, with heavy booming sounds, the wildly spinning Eight Tails twisted the entire terrain like a rampaging beast.
The hidden exploding tag traps underground were destroyed in large numbers, and many on the surface were triggered directly.
Flames shot into the sky, smoke filled the air, and the whole scene fell into utter chaos.
The Tailed Beast Eight Twists kept spinning wildly, and the high-speed rotation unleashed a powerful air current.
Everything nearby was swept up and thrown far away without mercy.
Neither Sasori's iron sand, no matter how tough, nor Konan's explosive tags, no matter how destructive, could get close to that overwhelming force.
At the same time, Sasori and Konan flapped the wings behind them, their eyes scanning the area quickly.
Not far behind them, the large forces of the Hidden Cloud were charging in aggressively.
The two exchanged hand signals in alarm.
"Raikage is coming, run!", one of them shouted.
But the moment the words fell, a figure shot across the ground like lightning.
It was the Raikage.
He stomped hard on the ground, making it collapse.
With that rebound, he leapt high into the air like a cannonball.
His entire body flashed with blinding blue-white lightning, even his hair standing on end, his expression fierce.
"Lariat Heat Blade!"
With a roar, the Raikage swung his thick, powerful left arm.
He slashed toward Konan, who was flying the lowest.
Facing this sudden killing strike, Konan simply smiled, not panicking at all.
Just as the Raikage's hand blade was about to hit her, Konan's body turned into a paper clone made of countless exploding tags.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A chain of deafening blasts erupted, flames rising high, smoke billowing.
The shockwaves rampaged everywhere, heating and twisting the air.
Raikage, at the center of the explosion, resisted most of the damage thanks to his strong Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
But he was still blasted into a soot-covered, battered mess.
If not for his tough defense, he would likely have been killed or left half-dead.
However, after taking this explosion head-on, the Raikage's fierce charge was completely spent.
Since he couldn't use a flying technique, he could only fall unwillingly back toward the ground.
Konan waved her hand, signaling orders to her teammates.
In that instant, countless exploding tags shot out from her hands like rain.
At the same time, Deidara refused to be outdone. He raised his arm, sending a barrage of explosive clay bombs whistling toward the enemy.
These clay bombs came in all kinds of insect shapes, drawing colorful arcs through the air, some even jumping.
They looked adorable, but the destruction they carried was enough to terrify anyone.
On the other side, Sasori flicked his fingers, unleashing a flood of iron sand that surged forward like a tidal wave.
The iron sand clashed and rubbed together, producing a unique rustling sound.
The three attacked together, instantly stopping all the Hidden Cloud forces.
Using their ability to fly, they shot straight into the sky and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
