40 Art is Explosion (1/2)
Akatsuki was an organization that had members coming from different villages. And while all of them were strong, besides Pain, Obito and Itachi none of the members were strong enough to go against a village.
Besides the three, the rest could be counted as slightly strong Jounins that were hard to fight against. But Naruto, Kakashi, and Guy were fighters belonging to Hokage class maybe even higher. Sure Kakashi seemed a little unnoticeable compared to Guy and Naruto but Kakashi made up for it due to his intelligence and experience.
Compared to characters like Naruto, Hashirama, Pain, Obito, Kaguya, Kakashi seemed very lacking but these were characters that were favored by the plot. Kakashi was the guy who lost his all due to the plot and still remained fighting without showing his pain.
Kakashi was overshadowed by Naruto and other overpowered characters in the series but he was still one of the strongest characters in the series and a Hokage as well.
Deidara despite being one of the weaker members in Akatsuki his ability to create destruction wasn't anything less than other members and maybe it was slightly even higher. As Deidara started to fight against Kakashi, his C1 couldn't keep up with Kakashi's speed and hence activated his C2 creating a massive clay dragon and flew in the air to attack Kakashi from the air.
Kakashi started to jump around dodging the incoming missile from Deidara as he was helpless to fight against an airborne target.
”HAhahaa, My explosions are art. Let me show you one of my masterpieces.” Deidara said the mouth in his hand spat out a clay shaped like a bird. Unlike his previous creations, the bird didn't move.
Deidara then tossed the bird towards Kakashi which grew in size after its launch turned into a 10ft tall clay bird. Deidara's C3 dropped down towards Kakashi like a nuke turning Kakashi pale. He was already having trouble dodging Deidara's C2 and now this was something he couldn't dodge.
”Kamui,” Kakashi said as he was forced to use his Mangekyo Sharingan. The space in the middle of the bird collapsed turning similar to the black hole and swallowed the bird completely. Kakashi fell to his knees as he took a heavy breath.
The normal Sharingan was already taxing his chakra reserve and using Mangekyo Sharingan his Chakra Reserve was almost depleted.
”This damned eye again,” Deidara said looking at Kakashi's Mangekyo Sharingan. He had already suffered defeat under a pair of eyes similar to Kakashi's.
”I have to admit that ability of yours is great but looking at your condition you can't do it more than a couple more times,” Deidara said as took out more clay from his side pouch. ”Too bad, I can create my art as much as I require.”
”Now let me show you what true art is.” Deidara's hand mouth spat out another bird.
”Shit, Kamui” Kakashi once again forced himself to cast another Kamui and this time he went for the hand before Deidara could throw his C3.
Space contracted near Deidara's hand and before he could fly away the Clay bird and one of his hand had disappeared. ”Argh” Deidara jumped away from his C2 dragon and created a smaller bird that could carry him.
The Kamui swallowed the C2 dragon but Deidara managed to escape but barely. Blood dripped out from Kakashi's eye as he overused his Mangekyo Sharingan.
”Che, I was going to save this for Itachi but you leave me no choice Kakashi,” Deidara said as he quickly started to chomp down more clay by his mouth directly. Seeing Kakashi was struggling to cast another one of his damned ability Deidara didn't wait around to let him recover.
”Ughhhhh” Deidara vomited out his white clay which slowly turned itself into his image forming a giant clone of himself.”Kats....”
