The Chapter get Retranslated
"Your ninjutsu is indeed very powerful, but it's still too green. Simply creating explosions without any technique isn't enough. Not to mention me, even a Jonin could easily dodge your jutsu. No matter how powerful it is, if it can't hit anyone, it's useless." Wu said slowly, his expression hidden behind his mask.
Deidara wasn't stupid; he was quite intelligent, and his talent for ninjutsu was exceptional. The fact that he later developed C1, C2, C3, and even C4 showed he was a ninjutsu genius. And his clear mind was evident from his schemes against Gaara, though that was when he was calm.
The reason Deidara so vehemently hated Itachi Uchiha wasn't just because he was defeated in one move by Itachi Uchiha. More importantly, he believed Itachi Uchiha was toying with him.
Because he knew nothing about the Sharingan, he was easily manipulated by Itachi Uchiha's Genjutsu. It seemed his art was like a clown act before Itachi Uchiha's Genjutsu, which was a huge humiliation for him, as he was very proud.
If he had been defeated by Deidara in a head-on confrontation, he wouldn't have harbored so much resentment. Later, when Naruto Uzumaki's Nine-Tails went berserk and pushed Deidara into a desperate situation,
and Kakashi even used Kamui to sever Deidara's left arm, Deidara was angry but didn't lose his sanity. Self-destructing would have been even more out of the question.
"Damn it!!! Do you look down on my art, you bastard!!!" Deidara roared, his face flushed red, though he sounded somewhat lacking in confidence.
But he was also quite intelligent and knew his ninjutsu was still in its early stages. He had been brainstorming how to improve and strengthen his ninjutsu, but he was just being stubborn.
"I don't mean to look down on you; I'm just telling the truth. Your ninjutsu, let's not even talk about hitting the opponent, its power isn't very strong.
A powerful Earth Release Jutsu could easily defend against the power of your Explosive Clay Spider's explosions.
As a ninja from the Hidden Stone Village, you should know this. Self-deception isn't something an artist should do, you know." Wu said indifferently.
"Tch!!!" Deidara turned his head away awkwardly. He certainly knew that. Although his explosive clay was quite effective against Chunin-level ninjas, its effect on Jonin-level ninjas was minimal.
Who among the Jonin didn't have a few tricks up their sleeve? In the Hidden Stone Village, though he was a genius, it was difficult for him to win against Jonin from the Hidden Stone Village.
A powerful Earth Release Jutsu alone could easily defend against his explosions. Otherwise, with his personality, he would have blown up the Hidden Stone Village long ago.
This was also because his current ninjutsu was still very immature. After all, the Secret Technique of mixing Chakra into matter was a Forbidden Jutsu of the Hidden Stone Village,
and he had only secretly learned it for a short time, barely two or three years. He was far from being able to unleash the full power of this Forbidden Jutsu; after all, it was a Forbidden Jutsu, it couldn't be that simple.
At this moment, Deidara also calmed down, looking intently at Wu as he slowly spoke, "Who exactly are you? A ninja of your caliber shouldn't be unknown in the Ninja World, right?"
"Me? You can call me Wu. I'm a Bounty Ninja." Wu said lightly.
"Wu? I think I've heard that name somewhere." Deidara mumbled when he heard Wu's words, then seemed to remember something and said in surprise, "Wu!! Are you that mysterious Bounty Ninja who boasts a hundred percent mission completion rate?"
For the past two years, Deidara had also been a Bounty Ninja. Others hired him by paying him a reward, though his tasks involved carrying out bombings, destruction, and other terrorist activities in various places,
giving him a very bad reputation. As a result, the people of the Hidden Stone Village disliked him even more. Currently, Deidara was practically semi-detached from the Hidden Stone Village.
Originally, due to his personality and various other reasons, he was already very unpopular in the Hidden Stone Village, with very poor interpersonal relationships. In addition,
he secretly learned the Forbidden Jutsu of the Hidden Stone Village and conducted explosive experiments in the village, causing many people to suffer collateral damage, so he had almost no place to stay in the Hidden Stone Village.
If he hadn't been a genius ninja of the Hidden Stone Village himself, and also the apprentice of the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, the higher-ups of the Hidden Stone Village would have dealt with this troublemaker long ago.
In addition, the many explosive terrorist activities he had carried out in various places over the past two years had made his reputation within the Hidden Stone Village even worse, almost unbearable.
Deidara was no longer allowed to live in the Hidden Stone Village; one could say that Deidara was now in a state of semi-detachment from the Hidden Stone Village.
And Deidara, who had been performing bounty missions involving bombings and such for the past two years, had naturally heard of "Wu's" great name.
"So you are Wu!! No wonder, you really are different from ordinary ninjas." Deidara looked at Wu with some surprise, not expecting this mysterious ninja standing before him to be the legendary Wu.
"How about joining me? Two heads are better than one, and you must have quite a few enemies too." Wu said slowly. This Deidara was indeed a genius. Although only twelve or thirteen years old, he possessed this level of strength.
And while the ninjutsu he used didn't seem very powerful at the moment, Wu could see at a glance that its potential was far greater than that.
The most terrifying aspect of this art wasn't its immense destructive power but its instantaneous explosive force.
The energy released in that instant would be difficult for any ninja without special abilities to defend against, and combined with sufficient concealment, it would become even more terrifying.
"Join you?" Deidara looked at Wu with some confusion, then scoffed, "Although your reputation is widespread, I won't trust someone who wears a mask and pretends to be a ghost."
It was clear that although Deidara's thinking was relatively simple, his vigilance was very high. Otherwise, he wouldn't have survived until now, constantly carrying out terrorist attacks.
The reason he later partnered with Tobi was because Tobi was also a member of the Akatsuki, and the Akatsuki organization wasn't just the two of them, and the leader of Akatsuki had allowed Tobi's inclusion, which is why he was willing to trust Tobi.
But now there were only the two of them, and he would absolutely not easily trust this mysterious Wu, who wore a mask and constantly exuded an aura of secrecy.
