Chapter 228 Cuttings
Xin Ya's massive and imposing body stood on the battlefield like an enormous mountain, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression. The scales on his body shimmered with a cold light and shone brightly in the sunlight.
Its vertical pupils slowly scanned the surroundings, taking in all the movements around it.
Shinya's tone was languid, as if it had just been awakened from a deep sleep. It leisurely asked Boruto, "Hey, Boruto, what brings you out this time?"
Boruto stood atop Shinji's broad head, leaned slightly forward, and whispered, "Shinji, I need your help. I'd like to ask you to help me deal with this situation."
Boruto then added, "But it seems you're not too keen on it, so how about you..."
Before Boruto could finish speaking, Shinja impatiently interrupted him.
On the surface, Xin Ya said calmly, "It's been so long since you've been out and about, so I'll reluctantly help you out." But its voice revealed an uncontrollable fighting spirit. At this moment, the warlike genes within Xin Ya had been completely activated, and its eyes were flashing with a fiery light.
Shinya looked down and noticed Deidara's body gradually becoming transparent. Shinya asked Boruto in a low voice, "This is the guy we're dealing with, right?"
Immediately, Shinya's vertical pupil contracted slightly, its gaze fixed intently on Deidara. It had already sensed that all of Deidara's chakra was converging towards the core of his chest, and the gradually increasing energy fluctuations surprised it slightly.
Its enormous vertical pupils were fixed on Deidara's core, sensing that the power Deidara was gathering had already surpassed the Tailed Beast Ball released by Five-Tails Naruto. This situation was indeed quite troublesome.
Xin Ya paused for a moment, then said to Boruto in a teasing tone, "Hey, Boruto, you didn't summon me this time because you're planning to be so heartless as to make me take the brunt of his attack, did you?" Its voice was slightly mocking, as if it was complaining about Boruto's "ruthlessness".
Xin Ya continued, "Although I consider my scales to be incredibly tough and capable of withstanding most ninjutsu, they're not as powerful as you imagine."
Boruto smiled wryly after hearing Shinja's words: "Shinja, we've known each other for so long, do you think I'm the kind of person who would sacrifice important comrades? I want you to use your magic to stop him."
Boruto has already devised a plan to stop Deidara from self-destructing.
Xin Ya raised its head, let out a soft hum, and a cloud of white mist formed in the air from its massive snort. It said to Boruto, "I doubt you'd dare."
Then, Xin Ya didn't say anything more and immediately took action. Its huge body leaned back slightly, opened its huge mouth, and revealed sharp fangs.
Immediately afterwards, Xin Ya spat out a stream of dark purple petrifying energy from deep within his throat.
This dark purple petrifying energy could turn everything in its path into stone, and shot straight at Deidara, who was not yet fully transparent, determined to completely stop Deidara's actions.
Upon hearing the conversation between Boruto and Shinji, Deidara was startled and quickly mobilized all his chakra, trying to react before the petrifying energy hit him.
However, he had poured all his chakra and stamina into this ultimate art technique, almost exhausting it all, and even maintaining his balance had become difficult.
At this moment, Deidara was completely exhausted and his body was extremely weak. He was no longer able to dodge the petrifying liquid of the tooth. His limbs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and every muscle fiber was protesting against the excessive consumption.
Deidara watched helplessly as the dark purple energy rushed towards him. All he could do was raise his hands to protect himself, using his last bit of strength to make a weak defense, letting Shinja's dark purple liquid splash onto his hands. At the same time, he accelerated the speed at which he used C0 to self-destruct.
"...What is this thing?" Deidara lowered his hands, which he had been using to shield himself, and stared at the spot on his body that had been splashed with the dark purple liquid, his face full of confusion.
The next moment, Deidara frowned, noticing that the liquid seemed to be rapidly seeping into his skin and beginning to affect his chakra flow.
Deidara felt the flow of chakra within his body slow down, even begin to stagnate. His expression turned serious. If the chakra could no longer be transmitted to the core in his chest, then he would be unable to unleash his C0 self-destruction.
Boruto stood atop Shinja's head, looking down at Deidara, and explained, "This is Shinja's unique technique; it can spray a liquid that turns opponents to stone."
Boruto continued, "During the petrification process, this liquid can also interfere with their chakra flow, preventing them from using ninjutsu."
Deidara looked down at his body and, sure enough, found that most of it had been petrified.
His skin was covered with a layer of grayish-white stone-like substance, which gradually spread from his arms to his entire body.
Deidara tried to move his body, but found that his limbs had become stiff and unresponsive, and he was turning into a stone statue.
As his consciousness began to fade, Deidara heard Boruto's words: "What a pity, it seems I won't be able to experience your ultimate art." These words echoed in Deidara's mind.
“...Damn it...” Deidara said these two words unwillingly, his voice filled with anger. Then his eyes gradually dimmed, and his body sensation slowly disappeared.
In the end, Deidara was turned into a stone statue by Shinja's petrification spell, his body standing stiffly in place.
Deidara's expression froze at the last moment, filled with resentment and anger. As Deidara turned to stone, the chakra that had been surging wildly within him receded like the tide and gradually calmed down.
"Shinya, thank you for your help." Boruto bowed slightly and said to Shinya, who was beneath him.
After a brief farewell, Boruto formed hand seals and released the summoning jutsu. As a cloud of smoke rose, Shinja's massive body gradually disappeared without a trace in the swirling smoke, returning to Ryuchi Cave.
......
Shortly after Shinya returned to Ryuchi Cave, Boruto was preparing to lift up the completely petrified Deidara and bring him back to Konoha so that the petrification effect could be removed in a safe environment.
Suddenly, many incredibly fast whooshing sounds came from afar, like countless sharp arrows being fired at once, heading straight for Boruto.
Boruto reacted quickly, rolling several times in the air behind him to dodge the sudden attack.
Where he had originally stood, dozens of sharp wooden spikes, like swords, pierced the ground and embedded themselves deeply into the soil.
Boruto steadied himself and looked intently in the direction of the attack. He saw a figure standing in the distance, none other than Tobi, the Akatsuki member with an orange mask who had accompanied Deidara this time.
Ah Fei's figure looked particularly eerie in the sunlight, completely out of place with the surrounding natural environment, and the look in his eyes behind the mask sent chills down one's spine.
Tobi slowly emerged from the shadows and said to Boruto, "As expected, this level of attack is nothing to you."
Boruto looked at Tobi in front of him and raised an eyebrow. Tobi at this moment was very different from the carefree and cynical person he used to be, both in his voice and his demeanor.
The current Afei has a deep voice, a cold demeanor, and exudes a chilling aura. He is like a completely different person, having lost all his previous frivolity and casualness.
Boruto replied to Tobi, "You're really something else. You can even use the First Hokage's Wood Release kekkei genkai." An enemy who can use Wood Release ninjutsu is no pushover.
Boruto recalled that when he first met Tobi, he noticed an unusual chakra fluctuation emanating from half of Tobi's body, a feeling quite similar to Danzo's right arm where the Sharingan was implanted.
