*Chapter 42: The Relic’s Power*

As the battle continued, the relic's power began to resonate more strongly. It emitted a pulsating light, its energy influencing the environment. The Akatsuki seemed to sense the relic's potential, their attacks growing more desperate.

Deidara unleashed a series of powerful clay creations, while Sasori's puppets moved with deadly precision. The group fought back, their strategies and teamwork proving crucial in the fight.

In the midst of the chaos, Himanshu and Divyansh managed to identify a pattern in the Akatsuki's attacks. They realized that the relic's power could be used against them if they could harness it properly.

Divyansh, using his Rasengan, created a powerful force that destabilized Deidara's clay creations. Himanshu, with his Sharingan, anticipated Sasori's movements and countered his puppet techniques. 

Jiraiya used his sage mode to create a protective barrier around the relic, preventing it from being accessed by the Akatsuki. Gaara's sand abilities further fortified the defenses, creating a formidable barrier against the enemy.
