Chapter 633: The Gift of the Hermit Group

‘Welcoming Approach: Thousand-Armed Murder!’

As the Jutsu started to take form, Chiriku said, “I don’t have complete control over the power output of this Jutsu, so there are chances that you might not be able to survive, if such a thing happened, I reassure you that I will bury you in the forest of the back mountain of the Temple of Fire, and pray that your soul ascends to the Pure Land after death…”

Accompanied by Chiriku’s words, a terrifying chakra exploded out of him and took the form of the spirit of the thousand-handed Kannon. The spirit was golden in color and it looked calm, angelic, and peaceful.

Feeling the tranquil and peaceful chakra that he has never felt or experienced before, Deidara–who was about to start his offensive–suddenly came to a halt, and muttered with a surprised expression, “What kind of ninjutsu is this? It is so beautiful!”

Chiriku saw that Deidara has stopped his movements because of being impressed by his Jutsu, this presented him a very good opportunity, however, instead of taking advantage of this opportunity, he stood in his position and calmly explained, “This is the ultimate technique of the Fire temple that is only taught to the Ninja Monks, and it requires a special chakra called ‘The Gift of the Hermit Group’… of course, you too can learn it if you were to surrender now and become a monk-in-training at the Fire Temple… how about it, are you interested?”

Chiriku didn’t want to kill Deidara, if possible, he would much rather recruit Deidara into the Fire, this way, not only the problem before him will be solved, but the Fire Temple will also gain a talented monk-in-training.

To achieve his purpose, Chiriku introduced ‘The Gift of the Hermit Group’ to Deidara, hoping that this unknown and mysterious knowledge draws Deidara’s interest.

Of course, Chiriku didn’t deceive Deidara, ‘The Gift of the Hermit Group’ is a unique chakra that the monk of the Fire Temple can learn… There is a secret method of training that allows people to learn this method, and only the monks of the Fire Temple know this method.

‘The Gift of the Hermit Group’ is a unique technique of the Fire Temple, in actuality, its essence is just Senjutsu, to a certain extent, at least… Perhaps, it would be more correct to say that ‘The Gift of the Hermit Group’ is a relatively superficial approach to using the Natural Energy dispersed in the heavens and the earth that the monks of the Fire Temple have been able to learn through years of rigorous training.

Although the ‘The Gift of the Hermit Group’ is less efficient and far backward and weak compared to the Senjutsu applications of the three mysterious realms, it is still better than nothing… And this is one of the reasons why the Fire Temple has been able to survive for the past millennia and has always been valued by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Be that as it may, it didn’t interest Deidara enough that he would go as far as to surrender here and become a monk of the Fire Temple… So, to answer Chiriku’s question, he shook his head and said, “Although the real art of the Fire Temple is really good, it is still missing something…”

“Huh? What are you saying?” Chiriku’s frown tightened, he felt that whatever he said up to now didn’t go through Deidara… it is as if the two are on a completely different channel… and cannot communicate at all…!

Deidara didn’t answer immediately, instead, he put back his hands inside his two shinobi bags and took out a lot of explosive clay, and then answered, “You have already shown me your ultimate art, how can I be left behind… let me show you too, and teach you the real meaning of art… as for joining your Fire Temple, no thanks… I am not interested… The only aim of my life is the eternal pursuit of art… huh!”

Seeing that the kid before him directly denied his offer, Chiriku understood that words won’t work anymore… and only fists can talk now…

But one thing Chiriku wanted to confirm before starting the battle, “Let me ask you one more question… are you Deidara… the rogue-nin of Iwagakure?”

Deidara asked in surprise, “Have you heard of me?”

Chiriku didn’t answer, only his expression became more serious.

Understanding that the monk had no intention of answering his question, Deidara shrugged, and without caring about it anymore, he threw the figurine in his hands that is made of the special explosive clay.

The clay figurine of white color landed on the ground, then it instantly swelled up weirdly and turned into a big insect then leaped towards Chiriku.

Seeing that Deidara had started, Chiriku also no longer hesitated or waited, and started the offensive from his side.

‘Welcoming Approach: Thousand-Armed Murder!’

Instantly, the golden Kannon spirit around Chiriku changed its color from golden to red which symbolized anger, indicating that Chiriku was extremely angry, and the result of this anger is that countless fists flew towards Deidara… The fists detonated all the insect figurines as Chiriku stated, “These puppets are useless in front of my ultimate Jutsu… give up… you have no escape here!”

Deidara Chuckled, “Don’t be so sure…”

As soon as Deidara’s words fell, the ground beneath Chiriku’s feet cracked out of which a centipede made up of white explosive clay crawled out, and instantly entangled around Chiriku’s body.

“Damn it… when did you…?” Chiriku exclaimed in shock and surprise… he didn’t see Deidara creating any figurines other than the insects he destroyed a few moments ago…

Moreover, with the speed with which the centipede entangled his body, Chiriku didn’t even have enough time to react fast enough to dodge or distance himself from the centipede, as a result, he was instantly trapped and his Jutsu was released without being able to cause any damage to Deidara.

Seeing that his plan worked, Deidara had a triumphant smile on his face as he said, “You were saying something?”

Chiriku gritted his teeth…

Deidara chuckled and started to weave hand signs for finishing up the monk by the means of his true art, that is explosion.

But just as he brought his hands together to explode the centipede that entangled Chiriku’s body, his body became numb, and a scary scarlet eye covered his vision…

“What the hell…? What is this…?!”
