Chapter 425 is called the Demon Orb because someone spoils it.
Deidara is quite strong, but he has many weaknesses. He's an impatient kid who thinks he can become stronger by going to the Land of Snow.
However, that device was developed for the adult knights of the Holy Knights Order. Those guys have terrifyingly strong physical abilities and willpower. If they didn't lack the genes of the Ninja Continent, many of them would probably already be Kage-level powerhouses.
But thinking of Deidara's temper, Kakuzu couldn't help but feel a moment of silence for the members of the Knights.
"Well, it's fine this way. Let these knights experience what a Demon Orb is like. At least we won't have to allocate funds for building repairs for now."
After flying for two whole days, Deidara finally arrived in the Land of Snow.
He thought the Land of Snow was a place of ice and snow, but after landing, he found that the climate here was surprisingly mild.
Fine snowflakes drifted down from the sky, melting as soon as they touched the ground; the air was cool but not biting.
"So this is the Land of Snow." Deidara jumped off the floating hornworm and looked around.
In the distance lies a snow-capped, rolling mountain range, at the foot of which is a cluster of circular, castle-like buildings, arranged in a pleasing, staggered pattern, with white walls and gray tiles, appearing exceptionally serene in the snow.
At the highest point of the complex stands a tower with a flag bearing a worm-shaped emblem.
"This is the organization's base? No, it's a subordinate force of the organization," Deidara muttered to himself.
He suddenly straightened his back, patted his earthen robe, and straightened his straw hat, trying to make himself look more imposing.
"I am the Tsuchikage, here to inspect the work. They are a subordinate force, so I am their superior. Yes, that's right, I am their superior."
He walked with his hands behind his back, taking measured steps, towards the complex of buildings. As soon as he entered, he saw several warriors in armor.
The armor worn by those samurai was quite unique. It wasn't the kind of iron armor that ordinary samurai wore, but rather a kind of plate-like composite armor that seemed to be able to be disassembled and stretched at will. It looked very cool and was also very expensive.
Each person carried a straight sword at their waist, and the scabbard also had an insect-patterned mark.
"Halt! Who goes there?" The leading samurai reached out to stop him.
Deidara raised his head, glanced sideways at the samurai, and snorted. "I am the new Tsuchikage, Deidara. I've heard that you've produced the latest technology here, so I'm here to inspect the equipment."
The members of the Holy Knights exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion.
One of them asked, "Boss, can the Tsuchikage even govern this area?"
"cannot."
"So what goods is he here to inspect?"
"I don't know either."
The group whispered amongst themselves, but dared not offend them easily. Although they were not in the same system, the other party was still a junior leader and they had to give him some face.
"Please wait a moment, I'll go and inform them."
"What's with the reporting?" Deidara waved his hand impatiently. "I'm your superior. Do I need to report for my inspection? That's outrageous!"
The knights looked at each other, speechless.
Back when Lord Hyuga Kagami came here, they had to follow the proper procedures. Why are you being so arrogant?
The leader's expression immediately changed, but he remained neither humble nor arrogant, saying, "Lord Tsuchikage, this is the Land of Snow, not a subordinate force of the Land of Earth. If you wish to conduct an inspection, please present the relevant documents first."
Deidara has had a bad temper since he was a child, and he can't stand anyone putting on airs in front of him.
"You guys, I'm your superior. Do you even see what I'm wearing?"
Why? He remembered that when the old man traveled, everyone treated him with utmost respect. Why was it different when it came to him? Did anyone actually treat him like a local deity?
"These gatekeepers dare to be so arrogant? Looks like I'll have to teach them a lesson. Enjoy my art, haha!"
Deidara completely let loose, unleashing Spider Bombs with a single gesture. However, he also exercised restraint, not using the strongest bombs right away, but rather testing their blast resistance layer by layer.
The members of the Holy Knights didn't understand his methods and were blown up by his bombs.
Fortunately, their armor absorbed a lot of damage, preventing them from sustaining any serious injuries.
But they were indeed proven wrong. The youngest among them was already twenty-seven. They couldn't just ask the leader to step in when they couldn't beat a kid.
Just then, Hirashino Sawa, one of the three silly geeks of the Icefield and a keeper of the fairy insects, came down the mountain. Seeing Deidara's arrogant appearance, he thought that the enemy had attacked.
It wasn't until I got closer and heard him say, "As the shadow of a village, don't I have the authority?" that I realized he was one of my own.
He immediately stepped forward and said, "Within the organization, there's no such thing as becoming a Kage granting high authority. Even if the Daimyo of two countries came here, they would only be considered equals. So, you're here to show off your power, aren't you?"
"So, you're saying you want to fight me? You're just a nobody, yet you dare to challenge me. C2 - Clay Spider Formation!"
Deidara spat out a large number of clay centipedes and clay spiders, forming hand seals, just as he was about to explode and finish him off in one fell swoop.
A fat silkworm appeared on Hirashino Sawa's shoulder, and with a breath of cold air, it froze the clay spider into ice shards, which fell to the ground.
Before Deidara could even react in surprise, another breath of cold air struck him, pinning him to the spot until his body stiffened, his limbs lost control, and he was completely unable to move.
"Heh, with such poor physical resistance, don't come out and embarrass yourself!"
The coldness from the ice silk wasn't the main reason he couldn't move; the main reason was the cold poison, a special frost-like toxin that could freeze a person's neurons and nerves.
Hirashino Sawa wasn't particularly strong, only becoming an elite Jonin at the age of thirty. However, when he used his home-field advantage with his Frost-Fat Insects, even a Kage-level ninja with low physical resistance could be rendered immobile by his trickery.
Deidara mistakenly believed he was very strong, but in reality, he had too many weaknesses.
His soul resistance is low, so he cannot defend against the curses and soul ninjutsu of the Land of Demons; his physical resistance is low, so he cannot defend against the poisons of various insects.
The people who sparred with him before, because they were his own people, didn't go all out, which gave him the illusion that I was very strong.
The version has now been updated, and unless he masters the Patrick Star Technique, he's just a nobody on the roadside.
Even if he mastered it, it would be useless; it would just be a move that would lead to mutual destruction. As long as he doesn't change his weakness to lightning, he still can't defeat anyone.
Because everyone within the organization can communicate with a portion of the iron-aluminum insects, the natural electric arcs and biostatic electricity released by the other party are naturally countered by them.
Even if he makes the bomb very, very small, so that it can enter the human body through breathing, it will be useless.
"You should stay here and reflect on your actions. When the time comes, the cold poison will naturally dissipate."
"Let me go! I'm the Tsuchikage!"
At that moment, Deidara thought to himself that he must become stronger.
