Three days later, Izumi and the four others, riding five birds, were about to reach their destination.
Above them, a strange white bird flew far away.
A yellow-haired boy with a ponytail looked at the group in the distance and sneered, "Oh, oh, oh, there's a lot of value in destroying them. They made us wait so long. Luckily, I followed them, or else they would have flown past. But it's really annoying that they also have a way to fly."
The boy's hand reached into the bag at his waist, and when he pulled it out, he could see that there was a mouth on his palm, constantly chewing.
After chewing, the mouth on his palm spat out a ball of white clay.
The boy kneaded the clay in his hand, and when he opened his palm, several white models shaped like dragonflies appeared.
After the boy finished his hand seals, the dragonflies instantly grew larger and flew towards Izumi and the others below.
"Hm!" The noise of the approaching dragonflies instantly startled the flying group below.
Izumi immediately used Ninjutsu to block them.
"Ink Squid Bomb!"
After Izumi finished her hand seals, she took a deep breath and then spat out countless ink-formed squids from her mouth.
The black ink squid bombs grew considerably larger in the air and rapidly charged towards the incoming dragonflies.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The white dragonflies and black squids collided, causing violent explosions.
Countless ink splattered everywhere.
Due to the proximity of the explosions, everyone's flying birds were affected, turning into ink after being destroyed.
The group fell towards the ground.
"Ahhhhh!" The client and Yamamoto Kawa, among others, cried out in alarm.
"Izumi!" Sarutobi Muraki shouted.
Izumi took out pre-drawn birds from the sealing tag on her wrist, then clapped her hands and said, "Ninjutsu, Super Beast Imitation Art!"
Several birds appeared, controlled by Izumi, catching the group. The birds carried them downwards, while Izumi shouted, "Leave the opponent to me! Be careful, everyone below!" Then Izumi continued to fly forward.
Sarutobi Muraki shouted, "Be careful!"
"The enemy in the sky is Izumi's problem. The opponent's ability to control explosives is very disadvantageous for us. Flying at low altitude is too dangerous; we'd be targets. Let's land!" Afterward, the group landed on the ground and quickly ran towards their destination.
Izumi looked at the boy above her and smiled, "Isn't that Deidara? He's quite cute."
"Oh, Konoha also has Ninja who can fly, huh?" Deidara pointed at Izumi and shouted, "Let me show you my art!"
Izumi smiled and said to him, "Little brother, don't cry when I beat you up later."
Deidara laughed, "Hmph, how many years older are you than me to call me 'little brother'? It's hard to say who will cry later! Maybe you won't even have a chance to cry before I blow you into smithereens!"
Izumi looked at Deidara, thinking, "Should I use genjutsu like Itachi? That would end the battle too quickly, not very satisfying. I'd rather have some fun. As for them..."
Izumi glanced downwards.
"Let them handle themselves."
Izumi licked her lips, then immediately began to form hand seals.
Deidara also began to create bombs.
"Go!" Several white bird-shaped bombs rapidly rushed towards Izumi.
And Izumi took a deep breath, then shouted, "Ink Squid Bomb!"
Countless ink squid-shaped bombs rushed towards Deidara.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The two collided, creating a huge explosion, and a large amount of ink fell like rain.
Deidara watched the splattering ink land on the bird beneath his feet; some small black spots on the white bomb-bird were very unsightly.
"Seriously, this person's ink has defiled my artwork. I will definitely not forgive her!"
Izumi couldn't help but exclaim, "These bombs are quite powerful."
Several bomb-birds broke through the ink and smoke, rushing towards Izumi without losing speed.
"How troublesome."
Izumi revealed her Sharingan, observing the incoming bombs.
"My Lightning Release has the widest attack area. Got it."
"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"
Countless lightning bolts surged forward in a large area.
All the bomb-birds hit by the Lightning Release fell.
Seeing this, Deidara shouted angrily, "Damn it! She figured out my weakness so quickly! Damn it! Damn Lightning Release Ninja!"
Izumi flew over and said with a smile, "Little brother, go home and drink your milk!"
"Damn it, how much older are you than me?! You're the one who should die! Watch me blow you up!" Just as Deidara was about to use his bombs again, he suddenly found himself unable to move.
He looked down and realized that at some point, some ink had formed a sealing tag that had spread onto his body.
Deidara's face turned pale with shock, and he asked in a panic, "When did she cast this Ninjutsu on me? Was it the ink that splattered earlier? This ink can actually turn into..."
"This isn't ordinary ink. You wouldn't understand even if I told you." Izumi shrugged, then said with a smile, "Go home and drink your milk, kid!"
"Ah!" Izumi flew over and knocked him unconscious with a punch.
"I won't kill you." Izumi tied him up in a humiliating position, then hummed a song as she flew down.
Below, Sarutobi Muraki was fighting a powerful Iwagakure Ninja, a back-and-forth battle.
Yamamoto Kawa and Akimichi Jiro were fighting two Iwagakure Ninja of similar age.
Izumi flew over to them.
While the two were fighting, Izumi instantly launched a sneak attack, knocking one of them unconscious.
Only a young girl remained. She looked at the three of them and couldn't help but curse, "That brat Deidara actually lost." So she immediately ran away.
Akimichi Jiro looked at Deidara, whom Izumi had captured, and said, "Let's hurry to Master's side."
"Okay." The group took the two captives and rushed to Master's side.
The enemy Ninja's faces turned particularly ugly when they saw Izumi and the others capture Deidara and another Ninja.
Sarutobi Muraki proudly began to negotiate with him.
In the end, the Iwagakure Ninja took the two captives, paid a sum of money, and abandoned this mission.
When Deidara woke up and saw himself, he shouted, "That hateful woman! I'll kill her!"
The Iwagakure female Ninja covered her mouth and laughed, "That's hilarious! When I tell Kurotsuchi that her senior brother was tied up like this, it's sure to be interesting, hehehe."
"No!"
"So!"
"Okay, whatever cosmetics you want or whatever you want to eat, I'll give it to you!"
"Mm-hmm, that's more like it!"
Sarutobi Muraki watched the Iwagakure Ninja leave and mused, "They actually gave up. It seems those two kids are very important. Never mind, our Village also has geniuses!"
Everyone handed the medicinal herbs to the younger son. The younger son proudly wanted to cure his father, but he didn't know his father was already well.
It turned out his father wasn't sick at all; he was just pretending. His eldest son destroyed the medicinal herbs, hoping for his death, while his younger son also secretly destroyed the medicinal herbs but left one plant, loudly proclaiming how filial he was, and then delivered the medicine to his father.
As a result, most of the future family fortune was given to an illegitimate son, who appeared to be a servant here, while the other two sons only received a small portion of the property.
After watching a family drama, the wealthy merchant didn't dare to be negligent and arranged everything clearly, allowing the group to enjoy themselves thoroughly.
