  CHAPTER 248 - Ambushing the Sand

Facehuggers!!!    Deidara soars high above the Village of the Sand and spots three sky guards watching from the rooftops. He creates three small clay spiders and lets them drop down. The spiders catchArt us a Bang the guards by surprise and leap onto their faces, at which point Deidara performs a hand seal causing them to explode. His actions are noticed by Gaara, who intercepts Deidara as he lands.

    Without uttering a word, Gaara launches an attack with a sand claw.  Deidara escapes to the sky on his clay bird, but Gaara pursues using his floating sand technique.  Deidara refers to Gaara as a “Jinchuuriki“ (power of human sacrifice) Gaara attacksbecause he posesses the One-Tail Shukaku inside him.  Gaara has little words for him and summons a huge mass of sand from below.  Gaara clearly has the geographical advantage in this battle.




Close call    With so much sand at his disposal, Gaara produces multiple sand claws which simultaneously attack Deidara.  He barely manages to evade them in the air and then produces two clay birds which he launches swiftly at Gaara.  Gaara defends with a Homing clayclaw but the birds are too fast. They home in on Gaara and Deidara triggers them to explode on impact.  Deidara peers through the smoke and sees that Gaara has summoned his ultimate defence sand sphere in time to block the blast.


Desert Coffin    Thinking Gaara has taken a defensive stance, Deidara lets his guard down long enough for Gaara to execute his Sabakurou (Desert Prison).  A giant mass of sand rushes from behind Deidara and proceeds to envelope him and his clay bird.  Deidara makes a mad dash for the last remaining opening in the sand prison and manages to punch through by abandoning his bird and jumping through.  However, he makes contact with the sand mass and part of it clings onto her left arm as he falls.  Gaara wastes no time to perform his Sabakukyu (Desert Coffin) and crushes Deidara’s arm in an instant.
