Naruto: Dual-Pupil Uchiha-Chapter 248 - 247.2 : Dust Release??

"You? There's something I don't want to tell you." Genya looked at Deidara, hesitated, then said, "I'm afraid if I say it, it'll hurt your confidence!"

"Huh?"

"Afraid of being discouraged? What's going on?"

Deidara couldn't help but look at Genya with curiosity. His eyes were gleaming, and his gaze toward Genya had become strange.

"Afraid of being discouraged?"

He was a genius from the Hidden Stone Village. How could he be discouraged?

Thinking of this, Deidara couldn't help but ask, "Genya, just say it. You're leaving me hanging here, and it's making me uncomfortable!"

Deidara was eager to see what topic Genya was going to bring up.

"Are you sure you want me to say it?" Genya asked, looking at Deidara, then added, "If I say it, don't get mad!"

Genya left a little tease, warning not to get mad.

The latest small novel was posted on Six Nine Book Forum!

This only made Deidara even more curious. He looked at Genya and even seemed to hurry him along, "We're brothers! Whatever you say, I won't get mad!"

"Then I'll say it!" Genya nodded. Seeing that Deidara didn't care, he slowly began, "Although I really admire your explosion art, it still has many flaws when used in battle. Not to mention others, even I could easily defeat you. So... your explosive art still needs some work. If you ask me, we should leave and study the explosions together!"

"Explosive art still has flaws?"

"I could be easily defeated by Genya?"

Deidara listened to Genya's confident words, raising an eyebrow. His mouth twitched with discomfort.

Every word Genya said felt like a stab right at Deidara's chest, and it was relentless, making him uncomfortable!

Seeing that Genya was about to continue talking, Deidara waved his hand, stopping him.

"Stop. Genya, I admit my art has flaws, but saying you could defeat me? Isn't that a bit much?"

In Deidara's eyes, even though Genya was a ninja, he was just an average ninja. There was no way he could be a match for him!

Genya was too arrogant.

"Dei-bro, you don't believe in my strength?" Genya said, waiting for this moment. He looked at Deidara and continued, "How about we have a match?"

Deidara had finally walked right into it.

"Compete? How?" Deidara looked at Genya, puzzled, not knowing what Genya was planning.

"Of course, we'll fight. I told you I could easily take you down!" Genya smiled at Deidara, his eyes glinting with interest.

"You..." Deidara was amused by Genya's words. He stared back at Genya and said, "Heh. Fine, we'll fight. If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me!"

He spoke confidently, also a little irritated. After all, Genya was younger than him, so he didn't really consider the possibility of losing. The purpose was just to teach Genya a lesson.

"Good, my condition isn't too hard. If you lose, you'll come back to Konoha with me!" Genya's face broke into a sly smile. He couldn't believe how easy it was to convince Deidara.

Just by provoking him, Deidara had already promised without much thought.

Sure enough,

Deidara, confident in his own strength, nodded decisively. "Fine, if I lose, I'll go back to Konoha with you. I'll follow you from now on!"

In his mind, losing was not even an option.

"When do we start?" After agreeing, Deidara eagerly asked, ready to show Genya a lesson.

He was itching to teach Genya a lesson.

"Right now, Iwagakure is still in a crisis. We'll fight after this is over!" Genya's gaze shifted back to the battlefield, now in full swing. He spoke slowly, "Once you leave Iwagakure, I'll come find you!"

"Alright, it's settled then. Next time, you'll see the true power of art!"

With that, the two of them, while watching the ongoing battle, made their agreement.

The two of them refocused their attention on the battlefield.

Meanwhile,

Many other ninjas had also arrived at the battlefield. Seeing Ōnoki and Kitsuchi fighting, they wanted to rush in and help.

"Lord Tsuchikage, we are here to help!"

With that, they attempted to join the battle.

However, Ōnoki, while still fighting, turned to them and said, "Don't come! Stay back and guard the perimeter!"

Though these ninjas were decent reinforcements, if Genya decided to drag things out, they would just be a hindrance. Ōnoki didn't dare to use his Dust Release just yet.

Now was the best time to fight!

After a while, Ōnoki stepped back from the battle with Genya, looking at Kitsuchi who was catching his breath, and said, "Huff... Kitsuchi, hold him off for three seconds, leave the rest to me!"

The intense battle had already worn Ōnoki down a bit, and he wanted to finish it quickly.

Kitsuchi nodded and used his Earth Release: Rock Fist technique, charging toward Genya. Three seconds. That punch would be enough!

Boom~~

But to his surprise, Genya's expression was just as serious. He copied the Earth Release: Rock Fist technique, and then Genya struck with a punch of his own!

The two of them clashed for a moment!

"I can't waste time with you!" Genya snorted. Ōnoki was about to unleash his trump card, so Genya had to respond carefully. There was no time to waste dealing with Kitsuchi.

"Shinra Tensei!"

In an instant!

Kitsuchi, who was still locked in a struggle with Genya, was sent flying. His eyes turned toward Ōnoki in mid-air!

At that moment, Ōnoki was quickly forming hand seals. He then pressed his hands together, taking a stance resembling the Kamehameha wave, directing it at Genya. A transparent triangular cube appeared in his palm.

Within the cube, dazzling white light flickered!

"This is the cube for Dust Release? I can dodge it... not planning to throw it?" Genya's expression under his mask became extremely serious. His mind raced, recalling Ōnoki's hand-seal technique and chakra flow. "Dust Release... I can do it too!"

As those words fell, Genya's hands began to form seals quickly. Chakra surged within him!

Wind, Earth, and Fire chakra gathered in his palm, making it feel hot to the touch.

"Is this the hand-seal for Dust Release?" Ōnoki's pupils contracted as he saw Genya forming the seals.

This Dust Release technique, aside from being known by his teacher, was something only he could use. How could this man in the black cloak also use it?

No, wait... He quickly shook his head. This man in the black cloak was just forming the hand seals; there's no way he could execute it.

But even so, his mind was a bit unsettled.

At that moment, Onoki saw Genya slowly extend his palms, mirroring the same posture that Onoki had in mind.

What shocked Onoki even more was that there was a chakra fluctuation in the center of Genya's palms.

A triangular-shaped cube appeared in his palm, radiating terrifying energy.

"This is really Dust Release!" Onoki was completely stunned, but after a low growl, shock replaced his expression: "Dust Release..."
