Chapter 141 Blessing
Above an endless desert, the scorching sun beats down relentlessly on the earth. This is the vast territory of the Land of Wind. Below, the sea of sand, occasionally whipped up by the wind, is almost devoid of any signs of life, only deathly silence and desolation.
Deidara rode excitedly atop the back of a giant white bird he had just sculpted from explosive clay. He gazed down with fascination at the vast desert landscape he had never seen before. But more than his curiosity about the unfamiliar terrain, what made his heart pound and almost burst with anticipation was the prospect of witnessing firsthand the ninjutsu he had longed for—the ultimate form of explosive art!
Menma used the Flying Thunder God Technique to instantly teleport himself and Deidara from the border of the Land of Earth to this uninhabited area of the Land of Wind. The spatial coordinates here were secretly left behind by him a long time ago when he sent shadow clones to search for Sasori of the Red Sand.
Although the search for the scorpion ultimately failed, the coordinates that had been set up in advance came in handy now.
At this moment, Menma was suspended in the air beside Deidara. The Wind Release chakra of the [Wind and Storm Stream] was tightly surrounding him like a torrent, forming a powerful updraft and lifting force, which allowed him to stay steadily in the air and reach an optimal height that was safe enough to perform and watch the destructive art.
"Watch closely, Deidara. This is... the [Great Spiral Wheel] you've been waiting for."
Menma spoke, slowly raising his hand. The next moment, an indescribable, immense, and heart-palpitating chakra began to frantically converge into his palm!
Deidara held his breath instantly, all his attention was completely drawn to it, and he was so excited that he was almost trembling all over.
He stared intently at his numb palm, not even daring to blink, afraid of missing any subtle change.
This was the art he had always dreamed of! Ever since the scout ninjas from Iwagakure brought back those shocking photos—photos showing an unbelievably huge, perfectly hemispherical crater of destruction on the wasteland outside Konoha, its scale even comparable to Konoha itself.
From that moment on, this unknown ninjutsu, representing ultimate destruction and fleeting beauty, became the ultimate art in his heart, surpassing everything else! And now, he was about to witness its birth!
Why did Menma specifically move the experimental site to the desolate desert depths of the Land of Wind? ...The reason is simple.
Last time, when he tested it outside Konoha Village, the situation forced him to leave no time to choose a location. But now that he was prepared, Naruto felt that he should try to protect the environment and avoid conducting such a destructive test in a lush, ecologically rich area. This desolate desert was undoubtedly the best natural shooting range.
Anticipating that this meeting with Deidara would likely require the use of "Ultimate Art" for intimidation and recruitment, Naruto's [Menma] clone was different this time—he did not disperse his chakra to create multiple clones, but instead distributed the vast amount of chakra from his main body almost evenly to this single clone carrying out the mission, ensuring that it had enough energy to support high-intensity battles and even unleash forbidden techniques.
Since obtaining the [Spiral Wheel Technique] through a system lottery, Naruto has been sending shadow clones to remote areas outside the Land of Fire, trying to replicate this terrifying ultimate ninjutsu by relying on his memories of using the trial card.
He gradually came to understand that the Great Rasengan was essentially just a more powerful version of the Rasengan. But this ninjutsu differed fundamentally from the ordinary Rasengan—its ability to devour chakra was like a bottomless black hole!
This "black hole" has no upper limit on its capacity. No matter how much chakra is injected into it, it can compress and contain it in a way that defies common sense.
At this moment, Menma's clone was carrying a massive amount of chakra from his main body. He relentlessly poured over four-fifths of his terrifying chakra into the constantly rotating and collapsing energy core in his palm!
Finally, quantitative change led to qualitative change!
The highly compressed chakra core was no longer a simple energy aggregate; the darkness emanating from its center became so profound that it began to devour the surrounding light. And on the outer edge of that extreme darkness, a white energy ring suddenly formed, as if draping a dangerous halo over this embodiment of destruction.
【The Great Spiral Wheel】—It descends upon the world once more from this place!
As he felt the terrifying, annihilating pressure emanating from the palm of that hand up close, Deidara's pupils contracted with extreme excitement. He even uncontrollably imagined what a breathtaking, perfect, and ultimate artistic spectacle it would be if this dark star were to erupt!
The thought of that devastatingly brilliant scene filled him with such ecstasy that an unnatural flush rose to his face.
This time, Menma didn't utter any philosophical remarks as he had when he intimidated Kakuzu. He was absolutely certain that for someone like Deidara, any words would be pale in comparison to the ultimate "art" before him.
After witnessing the spectacular explosion firsthand, joining the [Jin] organization will become Deidara's only and inevitable choice.
Mian Ma loosened his grip. The jet-black stardust, imbued with terrifying energy, broke free of his control and began to slowly and irresistibly fall into the desolate sea of sand below…
Its trajectory appears slow, but in reality, it is because the destructive mass it contains distorts the perception of its surroundings. It silently cuts through the air, with a suffocating solemnity, as it falls toward its destined end.
next moment--
"boom--------!!!!!"
An indescribable roar suddenly erupted! A devastating torrent of energy instantly engulfed the vast desert below! An extremely dazzling white light, like a supernova explosion, instantly covered Deidara's entire field of vision, dyeing everything in the world a pure pale white!
The shockwave from the explosion spread wildly in a visible ring in all directions, instantly flattening and vaporizing the sand dunes in its path! The clouds in the sky were brutally torn apart and dispersed by this tyrannical force, revealing the azure sky behind them!
The powerful airflow slammed into Deidara's face like a solid iron wall, the stinging pain making it almost impossible for him to open his eyes, and his skin ached from the wind.
But he gritted his teeth, stubbornly and greedily staring into his blue eyes, unwilling to look away even a millimeter, forcibly gazing at the center of destruction!
Bliss.
This was the only thought that filled his mind at that moment. A supreme sense of happiness and satisfaction, surpassing all sensory stimulation, swept over his entire body.
The ultimate art... the dream he pursued his whole life, now blooms in the most violent, perfect, and fleeting way, right before his eyes!
He was so lucky! He almost shouted it out. "Thank you! Old man! Thank you for getting me out of the village!"
Scalding tears streamed uncontrollably down his cheeks, instantly scattered by the violent airflow. But these were not tears of sadness or fear; rather, they were tears of blissful emotion and observation from the deepest recesses of his soul, shed by a fervent believer in the ultimate expression of art, upon finally witnessing the arrival of "art."
"Thank you so much..."
