Naruto: Dual-Pupil Uchiha

Chapter 583 - 582 : Deidara Knows Dust Release!!

"If I don’t want to stay?"Deidara smiled as Onoki threatened him. The playful side he had long suppressed began to surface.

He was naturally unstable. If it weren’t for Genya’s request, he wouldn’t just send a letter and leave—he wanted to take a tour through the ninja world!

But now, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to leave; it was that Onoki wanted him to stay.

He only showed his strength because he had no choice. Hehe, he thought. Genya wouldn’t blame him for this, right?

With that thought, Deidara looked at Onoki eagerly, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Huh?

Onoki noticed the change in Deidara’s expression. At first, Deidara had only wanted to leave when faced with Onoki’s persistence. But now, his face showed an unexpected interest.

It seemed he didn’t want to leave anymore, and he was eager for a fight.

What was happening?

Especially with the words he had just spoken—they carried a hint of provocation, even a desire for Onoki to fight at full strength!

"My Dust Release... if I unleash it fully, you might be erased from this world!" Onoki said carefully, looking at Deidara’s expression. "We are both from Iwagakure. I don’t want it to go that far!"

The truth was, Onoki’s words revealed his genuine feelings. He had watched Deidara grow up. If it weren’t for uncovering the secrets of Atsukara, he wouldn’t want to fight him!

At the same time, he didn’t want a repeat of the masked intruder incident in Iwagakure.

"Dust Release? Is that so?" Deidara snorted, a white dove appearing in his hand as if out of nowhere.

He lifted both hands, and the dove took flight.

From Onoki’s perspective, it landed on a mountaintop.

"Deidara, what are you trying to express?" Onoki’s tone turned serious as he watched Deidara’s display.

He felt Deidara was toying with him.

"Shh... quietly enjoy the art!" Deidara gestured for silence toward Onoki, letting him take in the scene slowly.

"Oh? Enjoy?" Onoki was unsure of Deidara’s intentions.

"Annihilate~~"

Before Ōnoki could even react, Deidara slowly spoke the two words.

As the words fell,

A brilliant light suddenly appeared at the tip of the mountain. The light was dazzling, almost like the sun itself. Then, a massive, transparent cube enveloped half of the mountain peak.

"Is this... Dust Release?"

Ōnoki’s eyes nearly popped out as he stared at the enormous cube covering the mountain tip. It was lawless, unimaginable!

This...

How could this be possible?

Under Ōnoki’s shocked gaze, the light inside the cube grew even brighter, completely shrouding the mountain.

No... this shouldn’t be Dust Release. It only looks similar, but it’s definitely not!

Ōnoki’s heart began to reject the possibility.

"This glowing light... Dust Release?"

Kurotsuchi and the other ninja also fixed their eyes on the dazzling light, even feeling its glare. Some shielded their eyes with their hands.

Yet curiosity gnawed at her. Why would her Grandpa unleash Dust Release on such a large scale?

Moreover,

Her Grandpa seemed to be over there. How could he have performed Dust Release from that far?

Grandpa performing Dust Release shouldn’t be able to reach him from that distance.

Not just Kurotsuchi, even the other ninja behind were filled with shock. Truly, the Tsuchikage’s strength was overwhelming!

At the same time, Tsuchikage Ōnoki himself was filled with both astonishment and disbelief.

The dazzling light only flashed for an instant.

Then it vanished.

Along with the light, half of the mountain disappeared too, vanishing completely as if it had been obliterated by the brilliant glow.

"Thud~~ The Tsuchikage’s power is truly incredible!"

"Is this him showing his strength to Deidara?"

"Wow... is this really Dust Release?"

"So strong!"

"Among the Kage-level ninjas, Lord Ōnoki must be the strongest!"

"Too strong!"

"A whole mountain... That’s a mountain~~ Can a ninja really do that?"

"So terrifying!"

"I can’t even imagine... What would happen to a person if they were inside that cube?"

Exclamations echoed everywhere, but in their voices were full respect and awe for the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki. In their eyes, Ōnoki had already become the strongest ninja in the Land of Earth.

"Grandpa... what are you trying to do? Warn Deidara?" Kurotsuchi clenched her fists tightly, her eyes fixed on the two opposing figures in midair, her emotions tangled.

She had grown up with Deidara. She didn’t want anything to happen to him, and she certainly didn’t want her Grandpa to fight him.

Because, Deidara’s methods were unusual.

"It really is Dust Release!"

When the cube first emerged, Ōnoki had still felt a bit hopeful that this jutsu was only somewhat similar to Dust Release.

But when he saw the annihilated mountain peak, he was completely certain—Deidara was using Dust Release!

How was this possible?

Dust Release was a technique only he and his teacher could use... No, also the leader of the Atsukara could.

But, Deidara?

He had checked Deidara’s chakra nature when he was a child. It was completely unsuitable for Dust Release and lacked the chakra combination necessary for it.

Unbelievable!

"Old man... are you trying to challenge me with Dust Release?" Deidara looked at the vanished mountain peak, licking his lips in excitement.

This was art... true art.

As he marveled, a white dove appeared in his palm. "How about we go head-to-head with Dust Release?"

Ever since he had created the perfect clay that could merge with Dust Release, he hadn’t had a chance to use it properly.

Now, finally, he could fully unleash it.

He had been holding back for so long... Ōnoki... the Tsuchikage, should finally give him the chance to demonstrate a few moves.

This... he wasn’t defying Genya’s orders, right?

It was Ōnoki who had stopped him before.

"How do you even have Dust Release?" Ōnoki stared at the other white dove, his voice full of disbelief.

"Of course, the boss taught me!" Deidara said proudly. He had immense respect for Genya—without him, he would never have developed Dust Release.

Sure enough, limited thinking is like a mountain blocking the view.

"You know I’m not talking about that. Your chakra nature should make learning Dust Release impossible," Ōnoki frowned, but continued, "Then how did you master Dust Release? And even integrate it into your clay?"

Ōnoki’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Deidara, yet they kept returning to that white dove, as if trying to detect some trick.

But...

He was disappointed.

The white dove circled around Deidara, showing no sign of anything unusual.

"You don’t need to worry about that... Some things about art, you old fossils just wouldn’t understand!" Deidara wasn’t interested in discussing it with Ōnoki. He only wanted to fight now.

"Come on, let’s have a match. Maybe if you win, I’ll tell you what you want to know!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became. The thrill of battle surged through his body!

Already restless by nature, he now bristled with anticipation, eager to leap into action.
