"What is it Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked.
"Hmph!" Deidara smiled while trying to keep the suspense in the air around them…
...
Soon the sand clouds settled down to reveal a colossal bowl-shaped crater on the ground that had a smooth finish, and the smoothness was about more than Seventy percent short of a highly polished mirror.
"What…" Naruto stared at the perfect finish crater, that was slightly reflecting light…
("This is is just too perfect…") Naruto thought.
"How do you like my super flat art?" Deidara asked.
"It's too soon to conclude the winner just yet…" Kakashi said as he turned towards Naruto.
"This…" Naruto stared in a daze at the artwork from Deidara…
("What should I do…?")
("It's too soon to unleash the elemental Rasengans right now….")
("The tailed beast bomb is a weapon I want to reserve for the last…")
("I think, only the classic option would work out the best right now!") Naruto concluded following which, he walked to the front to take center stage.
"Hmm!" Deidara nodded to approve of Naruto's actions…
"Here goes nothing…" Naruto said following which he held his hand seals perpendicular to each other.
"Hah!"
< Hidden Jutsu - Multiple Shadow Clones! >
(Poof!)
(Poof!) (Poof!)
(Poof!) (Poof!) (Poof!)
A massive cloud of smoke raised from the creation of Shadow Clones…
Soon…..
The cloud cleared up to reveal about a hundred shadow clones staring at the empty desert that was right next to Deidara's handy work.
"Hmm?" Deidara and Kakashi stared dumbfounded at the hundred clones that were within their view.
Especially Kakashi, since he had very low chakra capacity and had never seen Naruto perform so many shadow clones whenever Naruto fought.
"You've got quite the stamina, my man!" Deidara smiled at Naruto.
"Thanks!" Naruto accepted the compliment and turned towards the desert with a focused expression across his face…
"Hm!" The clone nodded to each other, following which they lined up in a semicircular formation with about two arm's length away from each other.
(Whoosh!)
(Whoosh!) (Whoosh!)
(Whoosh!) (Whoosh!) (Whoosh!)
Sounds of winds howling around the clones emitted…
Deidara's smile widened upon seeing all the hundred clones having a Rasengan in their hands; meanwhile, Kakashi was staring at Naruto in complete horror.
("There's no limit to the number of surprises you could give me Naruto…") Kakashi thought as stared at the hundred spinning Rasengans that were lined up in a formation in front of him….
"Rain Over the Deserted lands!" Naruto's clones uttered at the same time following which… all the clones threw their Rasengans into the air along a highly arced path towards the desert in front of them….
< Rasengan Rain Barrage!! >
"WHAT?" Deidara and Kakashi stared at the Rasengan that flew quite the distance into the air…..
All the rasengans slowly gathered in the air forming a circular shadow that loomed over the ground like a cloud…
(Whoosh!)
(Whoosh!) (Whoosh!)
(Whoosh!) (Whoosh!) (Whoosh!)
The Rasengans started to drop down like Raindrops from a cloud.
"Creating a normal Rasengan at his age is a huge feat by itself, However, for him to create a hundred more Rasengans and control its landing from this distance…"
"No ninja in history could possibly carry the boy's shoes in matters concerning Chakra control…" Kakashi thought…
————————————————————-
Back on the other side of the battlefield…
Rasa, Sasuke, Chiyo, and Sasori stared at the cloud that was gathered over the place where Naruto and Deidara were fighting.
("What the hell is that?") All the people thought…
("I am sick and tired of waiting…")
("Should I stay here to help Honored Grandmother or should I go to the other side to deal with that snake?") Rasa thought…
("What the hell is Deidara doing?")
("I don't remember Kabuto telling me anything about this Jutsu of Orochimaru's…") Sasori thought
"Let's get this over with quickly," Sasori said as he launched his puppets towards Chiyo.
"Hmph!" Chiyo smirked as she sent three puppets in particular from the group towards Sasori's incoming puppets.
(tuk!)
(tuk!) (tuk!)
(tuk!) (tuk!) (tuk!)
Sounds of puppet movements echoed across the battlefield…
(Clank!)
(Clank!)
Two of the three puppets of Chiyo's stopped in a place standing side by side, while the third one landed on top of the two's shoulders.
(Clank!)
(Clank!)
(Clank!)
Each of the three puppets formed tiger hand seals and opened their mouths at the same time revealing a character that was inscribed.
The one on the top was 'Buddha.'
The bottom two were 'Dharma' and 'Monk' respectively…
< White Technique - Three treasures Suction Crush! >
(VROOOMMM!!!!!)
A vacuum machine like sound boomed throughout the surrounding space with a vast amount of suction force being generated by the three particular puppets….
(Bang!)
(Bang!)
(Bang!)
(Bang!)
Sasori's puppets which were on the frontline were being sucked in one by one and were crushed by the three puppets following which, they were expelled out through the gap between the three puppets.
"Damn it!" Sasori cursed following which, he sent a few puppets from the sides to attack…
"You think I will let you do as you please!" Chiyo said in a firm voice as she sent the remaining seven puppets forth to crust Sasori's puppets that were on the sides of the ones that were being destroyed…
(Whoosh!) Five puppets went to the right while two puppets went to the left side of Sasori's army of puppets.
"Hmph!" Chiyo tugged on her puppet strings to open up the head of one of the two puppets that were running towards the left.
(Clank!) a mechanism unlocked separating the head into two pieces, with the top part opening like a lid and the bottom portion was rounded in shape.
(Whoosh!)
The wind started to whistle, as a circular chakra blade emerged from the sides of the rounded head…
(vrooom!!!!) The chakra blade spun at high speed…
(Clank!) The two puppets joined one of their hands together.
(Clink)
(Clink)
(Clink)
(Clink)
An iron chain extended between them, following which the second puppet threw the puppet with the spinning chakra blade at the incoming puppets.
(Bang!)
(Bang!) (Bang!)
(Bang!) (Bang!) (Bang!)
Puppets began to get destroyed one by one on the left side as well as the ones that were already being destroyed at the center by the three combined puppets. Meanwhile, the five puppets on the right side destroyed the incoming puppets with simple but effective Taijutsu techniques.
Chiyo was moving her fingers at incredible speeds destroying Sasori's puppets one by one; meanwhile, Sasori just floated on his flexible metal pipe without moving a single finger, while only using the Chakra from within his body to directly control his puppets…
Chiyo was sweating a lot from the amount of strain she faced all by herself in a short amount of time…

Back in Hidden Leaf Village, Hokage's Office…
Knock!
Knock!
Knock!
"Come in!" Hiruzen said, following which Tsunade and Jiraiya appeared.
"You two!" Hiruzen uttered upon seeing them.
"Sensei!"
"Any news so far?" Tsunade asked.
"Be patient, It's almost noon right now, so I am pretty sure he must have engaged them just one or two hours ago…" Hiruzen explained.
"The boy still hasn't summoned Fukasaku-sama yet.."
"I think he must be able to handle the situation for now…"
"The only thing I am worried about is the other boy Sasuke!" Jiraiya said.
"There must be a reason why Naruto chose Sasuke to accompany him…"
"After all, it is only natural for him to be close to those of his age group than old ones like us…" Hiruzen said, following which he got up from his semi-circular desk full of papers.
"Who are you calling old, geezer?" Tsunade stomped angrily.
"Tsunade!" Jiraiya stopped her.
"Being Patient would not hurt, after all, he is the one facing the burden all by himself, not you!" Hiruzen said.
Tsunade became silent.
—————————————————
Back on the battlefield….
(Boom!)
(Boom!) (Boom!)
(Boom!) (Boom!) (Boom!)
The Rasengan started to land one by one,
"Oh Boy!" Deidara also stared at the explosions with giddy, enjoying his favourite type of art from a different perspective.
Naruto and Kakashi also stared eagerly at the work of art that was to appear after the explosions themselves…
They all waited for the art, for what seemed like an hour, though only minutes had passed by with the rasengans still landing one by one…
"Damn it!" Deidara cursed.
("His explosions are lasting for a longer time than mine, while also clearly indicating more endurance…") Deidara thought.
(Boom!)
(Boom!) (Boom!)
(Boom!)….
…..
(BOOM!)
The final Rasengan had landed.
"Finally!" Deidara exclaimed.
A massive cloud of dust floated in front of the group.
"Oy!"
"Kakashi!"
"What happened?" Deidara asked Kakashi.
Even though he hated the Sharingan, he had to admit it was quite useful…
"THIS…!!" Kakashi stared at the front.
"What happened?" Deidara pulled on Kakashi's vests.
"It'a…." Kakashi tried to speak…
"LOOK!" Naruto interrupted by pointing to the front.
*Sh!*
A massive bright light beam rose into the sky…
"What the hell is that?" Deidara stared at the beam that ascended the skies…
"It's a…" Kakashi repeated.
"SPILL IT ALREADY YOU WHITE HAIRED OLD MAN!" Deidara shouted.
The cloud of sand dust finally cleared away…
"IT'S A MIRROR FINISH!" Kakashi said.
"..." Deidara stared.
