Chapter 510 The Artist's Inspiration
"Want to fight? Okay, okay!"
Naruto readily agreed to Deidara's request to fight.
Because his strength has improved too quickly recently, he just graduated from the Ninja Academy not long ago, became a Genin, and participated in the Chunin Exams.
The results of it?
He reconciled with Kurama and became a perfect Jinchūriki.
They developed a shortcut and mastered the perfect immortal mode.
His power surged by countless levels in an instant.
However, he has not played against opponents of the same level many times, which means he has never played in high-level matches.
Just like Kaguya in ancient times.
Kaguya has never played high-level matches; she only plays matches where she's completely outmatched.
After all, at that time, her chakra hadn't even spread yet.
The only game that seemed to be a high-level match was the one where I was sealed by the Sage of Six Paths.
The problem is that ninjutsu was developed by Indra, the son of the Sage of Six Paths.
That battle, though seemingly high-level and protracted, was actually just the two of them constantly throwing bricks at each other, bombarding each other relentlessly, using the prince's fighting style.
This is one of the reasons why Kaguya was defeated after being resurrected in the fourth war in the original work.

Deidara and Naruto arrived at the rock wall outside Iwagakure, ready to fight.
"Deidara, that kid, I wonder if he's fallen behind in his training since leaving the village... Sigh, what am I thinking? No matter how strong Deidara is, can he really be a match for the perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"
Moreover, Naruto is not only a perfect Jinchuriki, but he has also mastered Sage Mode.
Onoki had little interest in this battle.
He didn't think Deidara would be a match for Naruto.
Naruto may not be good at the game, but his stats are so high that they make up for all his other shortcomings.
Based on Onoki's experience, the only way to defeat Naruto is to strike quickly when he is off guard and defeat him swiftly.
Unfortunately, Deidara couldn't use this method.
Firstly, this is a competition, not a life-or-death struggle.
Secondly, both Deidara and Naruto came to prove their own ninjutsu, not simply to defeat each other.
Thirdly, given Deidara's personality, it would be difficult for him to ruthlessly and swiftly defeat his opponent.
Therefore, in Onoki's eyes, no matter what, Deidara would inevitably be defeated in the end.
At most, they'll both stop halfway through the fight, resulting in a pseudo-draw.
However, Onoki overlooked one thing.
For an "artist," inspiration is the most important thing.
Without inspiration, life might just remain like this forever.
Once an idea strikes, achievements can skyrocket.
That's how scorpions are.
Deidara is the same now.
"Sorry, Naruto Uzumaki, I beat you to it!"
Deidara was the first to make a move.
Naruto, standing opposite him, focused his gaze and noticed that Deidara had developed some facial markings.
"This is... Sage Mode?!"
Naruto was somewhat surprised.
When did the other party obtain this information?
However, Naruto didn't delve into it. After all, his mission for this trip was to promote Sage Mode to the entire ninja world, and it was a good thing that the other side could learn it.
What Naruto was curious about was when the other party started preparing for Sage Mode.
Why did it go straight in from the beginning?
Naruto glanced at Deidara's attire: a loose Akatsuki robe, one sleeve fluttering in the wind.
It turned out to be the case.
Deidara's hand was inside his clothes the whole time!
Furthermore, Deidara has mouths on his hands, which means he doesn't even need to prepare ninja tools like others.
"Wow, that's really impressive."
Naruto raised his hand and formed hand seals, starting with the classic Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
Faced with Deidara's Sage Mode, Naruto prepared to activate Sage Mode in response.
however.
Just as Naruto created numerous shadow clones, preparing to take off, Deidara revealed a triumphant smile, pressing one hand to the ground while forming a hand seal with the other: "Katsu!"
boom!boom!boom!boom!
All of Naruto's shadow clones were destroyed in a single explosion.
Even Naruto's main body was attacked.
Fortunately, Naruto managed to put on the Nine-Tails' chakra cloak in time, blocking the attack.
"What's going on?"
After Naruto enters Nine-Tails Mode, his sensory abilities are no less than those in Sage Mode.
Before entering Sage Mode, Naruto thought that Deidara had secretly planted a lot of bombs and ambushed him.
Upon closer inspection, it turns out there's nothing there at all.
Has it all been blown up?
No.
As he was thinking about this, several more explosions occurred.
Soon, Naruto realized the truth.
The other party actually detonated the natural energy that he had gathered before activating Sage Mode and hadn't yet absorbed!
"How about it, Naruto Uzumaki? Be amazed by my art!"
Deidara was somewhat smug.
Frustrated, he resorted to a shady method to cultivate Sage Mode. When sensing natural energy, he discovered that when the natural energy of Sage Mode gathered, it would briefly gather along with some gas.
Once it accumulates to a certain concentration, that unclaimed natural energy will become flammable and explosive.
At this point, he can use his chakra, either directly or indirectly, to detonate it.
However, Deidara almost overturned this hairstyle before.
Previously, when Kurotsuchi was demonstrating her exclusive "Sage Mode" to Onoki, Deidara was observing from the shadows. He discovered that when Kurotsuchi entered, she only used pure natural energy and did not bring along any gases.
Fortunately, Deidara has now tested it on Naruto, so it is still feasible.
The detonation conditions are: high concentration of natural energy + gas + contact with Deidara's chakra.
Indispensable.
If Naruto enters Sage Mode quickly enough to convert natural energy into Sage Chakra or into controllable natural energy, the explosion will fail.
Of course, Naruto is not Minato Namikaze, so he cannot directly draw these conclusions based on a brief exchange.
Naruto is currently completely baffled, except for discovering that Deidara can detonate natural energy.
Kakashi noticed that Naruto was not in a good state and began preparations in advance, just in case.
Deidara launched another attack, throwing out a large amount of white explosive clay, but Naruto remained in Nine-Tails Mode, standing still like a light bulb.
Who exactly is Kakashi (the Scarecrow)?
Kakashi mentally complained, first using Kamui to tear open a gap in the explosive clay, then wielding Purple Lightning and rushing towards Naruto.
"That's enough, you can stop now!"
Kakashi wielded his Purple Lightning, the agile purple lightning covering the entire exploding clay.
Lightning Release counters Earth Release.
In the past, Shiden was more effective than Chidori Ryukai in countering Deidara. The versatile Shiden could easily turn any explosive clay into a dud.
But it's different now.
"Good timing! I've been waiting for Lightning Release! Hmm!"
Deidara became even more excited when he saw Kakashi use Purple Lightning.
