------------------------
"Huh! What happened just now?" Sasuke blankly stares at Hidan.
'Did his ritual somehow fail?' Sasuke recalls the terrifying pressure he felt earlier.
The sense of dread and the feeling of powerlessness are still clear in his mind. It felt like his fate, his life, and his death aren't in his own hands anymore. His existence is as fragile as a soap bubble that the mere whims of that figure can extinguish it.
'Was that the god this guy prayed to?' Sasuke stares at Hidan's blank figure.
'But did he fail mid-way for some reason?'
Bleurgh…
Hidan spews out a mouthful of blood.
"What… what's going on? Why I can't sense the power of Lord Jashin anymore?
Bleurgh…
He spews out another mouthful of blood.
Crack…
Multiple cracks appear on the blood demon dagger in his hands.
Snap…
The drags break into multiple fragments and turn into dust.
"Lord Jashin… lord Jashin, have you forsaken your devout believer? Why can't I sense your presence anymore?"
Spurt…
Blood spurts out from the wound in Hidan's chest. Hidan's eye turns white as his life slowly drains out from his body.
"Lll… lord Jashin!" Hidan dies from excessive blood loss.
Sasuke blankly stares at Hidan's body for a while. His trembling legs give up as he falls to the ground from mental and spiritual exhaustion.
Snap…
The Akatsuki ring on Hidan's finger snaps in fragments and disappears.
Hmm…
Another Akatsuki member has fallen. Black Zetsu stares in the direction of Hidan.
'I wonder who is next!'
----------------
BOOM…
A cloud of dust, smoke, and debris rises in the air as Deidara detonates the clay centipede.
Hmm…
Deidara frowns and inserts some chakra in his left mechanical eye. The entire world turns in a shade of red. He looks around and notices Itachi in a different place.
"So, you managed to escape from that explosion? Was it the substitution jutsu or the shadow clone jutsu?" He smirks.
Itachi glances at the glowing red eye of Deidara. He jumps out of the shadows and makes some hand signs.
"Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Jutsu,"
He spews out a giant fire dragon towards Deidara.
Roar…
The dragon roars and engulfs Deidara's body.
Hehe…
"C3"
Deidara smirks. His figure melts up in response to the heat from the fire jutsu. The yellow putty-like explosive clay hardens and glows with a bright light.
BOOM…
A bright flash of light engulfs the surrounding forest. An outward explosion of immense heat and light energy expands to form a sphere in the center of the explosion.
Bleurgh…
Itachi jumps out of the explosion with tattered clothes. He spits out a mouthful of blood and falls to the ground.
"I am just getting started and you are already acting like this!" Deidara smirks and claps his hands together.
"C4 Karura"
Gray clay appears in his hands. He opens his mouth and bites the clay. Soon, Deidara gobbles up the clay. His skin turns gray and balloons up to a massive scale. Deidara turns into a humongous giant, the size of a small hill.
Poof… Poof…
His body explodes into white smoke and covers a large amount of air.
Shiing…
Itachi activates his Mangekyo Sharingan and notices countless microscopic birds flooding the entire area like parasites.
"Now, die!"
Deidara, who has been floating on top of a giant clay dragon the entire time, makes a snake hand seal.
"Turn into dust and witness the grandness of my art. Haha…"
Itachi's body starts to slowly dissipate into the surroundings. There is a calm expression on his face as he speaks.
"Are you sure about this?"
As soon as Itachi speaks these words, the entire world around Deidara shatters like a glass fragment.
"How… how could it be? I should be immune to Genjutsu. How… how did you do it?" He stares into Itachi's red eyes with despair.
"Were you relying on this?"
Itachi opens his palm and reveals a red eyeball-like device.
"You… when did you?"
Deidara touches his left eye. He can still feel the glowing red device in his eyes.
"What… what's going on?" For the first time, fear overcomes Deidara.
"Sometimes the reality is an illusion and the illusion… REALITY!"
Shiing…
Itachi's eyes spin rapidly.
"Tsukuyomi,"
Crack… crack…
Deidara's left eye explodes, and a burst of blood leaks out from the empty eye socket.
"When… just when! I didn't even make eye contact with you." Deidara weakly questions Itachi.
"Genjutsu is an illusion technique that affects the target by controlling the flow of chakra in their cerebral nervous system. Uchihas are capable of casting a powerful genjutsu through mere eye contact with their Sharingan. But who said that only eye contact is the sole method to cast a genjutsu?"
Itachi slowly walks towards Deidara.
Tap… Tap… Tap…
His footsteps have a rhythm to them.
"The footsteps, sound… you fooled me!" Deidara's expression turns ugly.
"During that time, my Sharingan was just a distraction. You could prepare a counter for my Sharingan but didn't anticipate another method, did you?"
Itachi calmly stares into Deidara's eye.
"Damn you… those eyes… they are looking down on my art again! I will never forgive you."
Deidara rips apart his cloak to reveal a gigantic mouth near his heart. He undoes the stitches on the mouth.
"You shall witness my 'Ultimate Art', the ultimate creation of death. The supreme art of explosion! A never seen before explosion.
Deidara rips apart the mouths on his hand and feeds them to the mouth on his chest.
LUBDUB… lubdub…
Deidara's heart rate increases exponentially. A large amount of chakra gathers around his heart.
"I will paint this last piece of art with my life as the only color. Because 'ART IS AN EXPLOSION!'
LUBDUB…
The mouth near his heart kneads the chakra from his entire body. His flesh and blood turn into fuel for the explosion. Deidara's blood vessels and meridians dry up and wrap around the mouth to create a sphere.
The explosive chakra manifests within his heart and the sphere slowly cracks up and detonates the entire explosive chakra, composed of chakra and life force.
"Deidara, this bastard!"
The Black Zetsu clone, who has been hiding and monitoring the battle during this entire time, spews out profanities and tunnels through the ground.
BOOM…
A gigantic pillar of light spanning several hundred meters in height appears at ground zero.
The light pillar rapidly expands and engulfs the surrounding land and continues to move toward the giant planetary sphere of Konoha.
"At this rate, it will engulf the entire village in this terrifying explosion." Itachi, who has been shielding himself with Susanoo and Yata shield, stares at the explosion with worry.
"I will attempt to seal this explosion with my Totsuka blade."
He summons the Totsuka blade and pierces it through the light pillar. A gourd appears at the handle of the Totsuka blade. The gourd pulls the energy of the explosion towards itself. The fiery red blade slowly turns cyan. Some cracks appear on the gourd as it continues to absorb the explosion.
"I hope it will be able to last long enough to seal this explosion."
Soon, the entire Totsuka blade turns cyan. Itachi quickly seals the Totsuka blade in a scroll and deflects the rest of the explosion with his Yata shield.
Huff…
He dispels his Susanoo and falls to the ground.
Bleurgh…
Itachi spits out a mouthful of blood.
'Sealing that massive amount of uncontrollable energy took a toll on my body. I won't be able to move for a while.'
Itachi rests against a tree and closes his eyes.
'Shisui, Naruto, Sasuke… I will leave the rest to you.'
Chapter 389: 367. Might Guy Vs Sasori Part-1
A/N:- Hello everyone, my new Naruto fan-fic, 'The Rogue Demon of the Shinobi World' is out.

------------------------
"This time, I will get my revenge." Sasori summons the Third Kazekage puppet to battle against Might Guy.
Swish… swish…
Sasori weaves his fingers through the air and attaches several chakra strings to the Third Kazekage Puppet.
Clack… clack…
The Kazekage puppet opens its mouth and releases a barrage of poison-laced senbons towards Guy.
"Leaf Gust,"
Might Guy kick the ground and spin around to release a powerful gust of wind from his kick.
Swoosh…
The wind gust blows away the senbons.
The Kazekage puppet stretches its palm to reveal a chamber with a weapon-summoning seal.
Swish… swish…
A barrage of kunai attacks Guy from multiple directions.
"This reminds me of my student, Tenten!"
'Leaf Great Whirlwind,'
Guy spins and delivers a series of kicks in the air. The powerful pressure from his kicks creates a gigantic protective whirlwind around him. The whirlwind blocks and deflects the incoming barrage of kunais.
Fwoosh…
A tube-like appendage appears beneath the Kazekage puppet's palm. The tube releases a concentrated purple smoke toward Guy at the moment he ends his spin.
The dense cloud of purple fog shrouds Guy.
Cough… cough…
Guy coughs slightly and jumps out of the purple fog. He delivers a roundhouse and disperses the purple fog approaching him.
"Poison!" Guy frowns as he is slowly losing sensation in his body.
"This is one of the most powerful poisons in the Shinobi world. It's one of my finest creations, a masterpiece indeed. No one, not even the Fifth Hokage known for exceptional medical skills, can counter this poison."
Guy falls to the ground as the poison slowly spreads across his body.
Tch…
He grits his teeth and pops out a pill from his storage.
'I hope the pill works.'
Color returns to Guy's face as the effects of the poison recede slightly.
Cough… cough…
Guy coughs out some purple mist from his mouth. He regains his mobility and slowly stands up.
"WHAT? What's going on? How could you dispel my poison so easily? It has been not long since I prepared my poison, and yet you already have an antidote for it." Sasori's puppet glares at Guy.
'So, Izuna was right. This antidote can indeed treat all toxins.' Guy heaves a sigh of relief.
'The poison was so toxic that I only inhaled a few fumes and yet I was poisoned to such a degree. If I took a breath of that purple fog, then I might have already died without even getting a chance to take the antidote pill. Still, I can't bring out my full strength for a couple of minutes.'
Guy takes a Taijutsu stance and warily stares at the Kazekage puppet.
"The medical skills of the Konoha shinobi are truly exceptional. They even developed an anti-dote that can work against most poisons, including the powerful ones." Sasori sees through Might Guy's condition with a single glance.
"Even so, I am sure you can't draw your full strength for a while. That's more than enough to finish you off."
Clack…
Sasori waves his hands. The right arm of the puppet turns into a spinning blade. A burst of red energy coats the blade, turning it into a giant spinning cutter.
Saori slightly weaves his arm, and another compartment opens on the left arm of the puppet. A chainsaw pops out of the compartment. The blade glows with red energy and slices through the nearby rocks like a knife cutting through tofu.
Sasori waves his hands and a nozzle opens on the back of the puppet.
Bzzt… Boom…
A burst of fire escapes from the nozzle, soaring the speed of the puppet. The upper body of the puppet spins rapidly and creates a giant, red, spinning vortex.
Swish… swish…
Guy throws multiple kunais and shurikens toward the puppet.
Slash… slash…
The energy blade slashes through them and closes on Might Guy.
Guy crosses his arms in front of his body.
"Eight Inner gates: Fourth Gate: Gate of Pain: Open,"
Guy's skin turns red, and a green aura surrounds him. His hairs rise in the air due to the massive influx of chakra. Guy's muscles swell up, boosting his physical strength to another level.
"Violent-Leaf Adamantine- Strength Whirlwind,"
Guy spins and delivers a powerful roundhouse kick by focusing the green aura on his leg.
BANG…
The spinning red energy blades and Guy's kick clash with each other. Sparks rise from the metal as Guy's aura kicks grind against the blade.
HAAH…
Guy infuses more aura into the blade and pushes even himself further.
Clank… Clang…
The blades snap in half and the arms of the puppet are blown away by Guy's powerful kick.
Tch…
Sasori clicks his tongue and weaves his hand.
Click… cluck…
Another compartment opens on the shoulder of the puppet to reveal several summoning seals.
"Release,"
The seals glow simultaneously and summon thousands of similar arms. The overwhelming number of arms drowns Guy.
HUAHHH…
Guy roars and pumps up his chakra.
"Violent-Leaf Adamantine- Coiling Whirlwind,"
A massive whirlwind infused with a green aura erupts around him. The massive whirlwind blows away all the arms into small chunks and fragments.
Heh…
Sasori smirks.
BANG…
A massive pillar of iron sand drops on top of Might Guy, crushing him beneath with a massive force.
A large amount of dust and debris rise in the surrounding. A sizeable crater forms at the point of impact.
Sasori calmly stares at the giant crater.
"I thought it will be a bit more challenging, but that was easier than I expected."
Rumble… Rumble…
Tremors run across the ground. The massive pillar of Sand rocks sideways.
"Fifth Gate: Gate of Limit: Open,"
BANG…
Might Guy deal a devastating blow to the iron sand pillar. The pillar is pushed up into the air and crumbles into iron dust.
An intense green aura surrounds Might Guy.
Huff… Huff…
Guy huffs slightly as he jumps out of the crater.
'I am still affected by the poison. It's interfering with the opening of my gates.'
Haha… hehe…
Sasori bursts out in a fit of laughter.
"It would be too underwhelming if it ends like that. Everything was an appetizer till now, from now onwards the real show begins."
"Iron Sand Drizzle,"
The iron sand around the third Kazekage puppet splits and compresses into multiple, smaller, bullet-like spheres. The minuscule orbs harden even further with the alignment from the magnetic field and repellent force from the magnetic field shoots them toward Might Guy like explosive shells.
BOOM… BOOM… BOOM…
The hardened iron bullets bombard the vast area around Might Guy, closing his every route for escape.
Clench…
Guy clenches his teeth and smashes his fist on the ground.
"Dynamic Earth Shifting,"
Using his powerful strength, Guy lifts a massive chunk of earth from the ground and uses it as a protective shield to block the barrage of iron bullets.
BANG… BANG… BANG…
The bullet barrage lasts for a minute, raising a cloud of dust and debris in the process.
The dust settles down to reveal a beehive-like structure in front of the Kazekage puppet. The massive chunk of the earth in front of Guy has long crumbled into dust. They are numerous holes in the ground and surrounding boulders. The surrounding forest seems reminiscent of the arrival of a termite apocalypse.
Huff… Huff…
Guy is hiding behind a boulder. Blood leaks from the injuries on his forehead and arms. He quickly takes out a healing and rejuvenation pill to heal his wounds and recover his stamina.
'The poison has been completely dispelled from my body. I can use my full strength now.'
"Still, not dead!"
Sasori weaves his fingers.
"Iron Sand Gathering Assault,"
Numerous sand particles gather around the Kazekage puppet. The sand particles condense into multiple high-density constructs like arrows, spears, swords, and numerous other weapons.
Fwoosh…
A large number of weapons overwhelm Might Guy.
Guy clenches his fists.
"Violent-Leaf Adamantine- Rising Dragon Falling Star,"
He rotates his hands and legs in a yin-yang pattern and releases the gathered green aura in his body in the shape of a dragon.
"Rising Dragon…"
ROAR…
The green dragon roars and engulfs the incoming iron sand constructs into iron sand. It continues to proceed towards Sasori.
"Damn it!"
Sasori grits his teeth. A massive amount of chakra gathers around the Kazekage puppet.
"Iron Sand World Order,"
A gigantic sphere of iron spikes branches out from the Kazekage's body. The iron dust aligns with the magnetic chakra of the earth and crisscrosses into an unpredictable cage-like structure, trapping the green dragon within it.
Guy rotates his arm in a falling motion and slams them on the ground.
"… Falling Star,"
BOOM…
The massive dragon releases a roar and explodes. The explosion blows away the massive cage of iron sand and engulfs Sasori with it.
Rumble… Rumble…
Ground trembles from the shockwaves released by the jutsu.
Wham…
The magatama bead at their position rises in the air and a giant black and white Tai Chi formation appears on the ground and sky.
"I have a bad feeling about this!"
Trusting his gut feelings, Guy immediately flees from the sphere of influence of the Tai Chi formation.
