Biography

Deidara (Japanese: デイダラ, Hepburn: Deidara) was a male ninja who lived in the village of Iwagakure in the Ninja World. At some point, he was known to have had left the village for the hope of using his "art" more frequently. Deidara became a terrorist bomber for hire, seeing it as an opportunity to use his "art" on a regular basis. Sometime after Orochimaru left the organization Akatsuki, Deidara was visited by members Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Sasori, who were under the orders of the Akatsuki Leader to recruit Deidara into the organization. Although at first Deidara refused, he quickly got into a small confrontation with Itachi, where Itachi forced Deidara to join by almost fooling Deidara into exploding himself with a clay centipede via genjutsu. Deidara quickly realized he had no chance of wining and recognized the Sharingan as "art".

Two years later, the Akatsuki made their bid for the Tailed-Beasts with Deidara and Sasori travelling to Sunagakure to claim the One-Tails from its host Gaara. Sasori's subordinate eliminated the guards present at the entrance to the village with Deidara taking the lead and looking to scout using a creation that could fly. In the sky, he spotted the sand ninja sentries keeping a watch over the village where he eliminated them with spider constructs that exploded after latching onto their targets faces. It was then that he was confronting by the Kazekage who was the junchuriki host Gaara who had taken notice of a bird that was not native to the land.

He was hiding within the bushes observing the entire scene when he sensed that some enemies had snuck up behind him. These turned out to be leaf shinobi led by Might Guy and his team who had used Neji Hyuga's byakugan to see Deidara.

In reality, the detonation was done so by one of his explosive clones whilst he hid underground. The intention was to eliminate all his foes but once again Kakashi's jutsu created a dimensional space that teleported the blast elsewhere. Once the leaf shinobi departed, Deidara emerged and went to look for his missing arm along with the ring on its finger. He then found Zetsu and Tobi at the scene of his arm where they initially believed that Deidara had died in an explosion.

Though killed, his remains were salvaged to create a copy of him with Deidara being revived through the reanimation jutsu by Kabuto Yakushi. He came to be brought back along with the other deceased Akatsuki members as well as a few others being brought back with the technique. These deceased shinobi were present by Kabuto to Tobi as part of an elite force that would aid him in the Fourth Shinobi World War. Later on, Kabuto would use Deidara on a mission to track down the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails that were residing on the hidden cloud's wandering Turtle Island. In this time, his personality was restored though Deidara had no control over his body and forced to obey Yakushi's orders. During this time, the pair were confronted by the Tsuchikage along with his two subordinates over the giant turtle island with Deidara sent to battle his former kinsman. He looked to have his art triumph over his village's elder but at the height of the battle Deidara was recalled by Kabuto after he had succeeded in his own mission by capturing Yamato. Later on, all the reanimated shinobi were revived by Kabuto at the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War where they were sent against the Allied Shinobi Forces. Deidara came to find himself working with his former colleague Sasori along with two other reanimated shinobi in the field.

Deployed on clay birds, they moved to counter the commando forces of the Allied Shinobi Forces as the war began. They came to find three members of a reconnaissance unit of enemy shinobi who were all dealt with easily. One of the ninja had their body commandeered by Sasori with hidden explosives placed on them to use them as a bomb against their allies. The trap was uncovered by the enemy who evaded the blast with Deidara forced to confront them directly alongside his allies. Confident in victory, he believed that being made immortal by the reanimation jutsu meant that they were to win this confrontation. Deidara then used the reanimated Shin as a living bomb intending to kill his former comrades but the blast was diffused by Kankuro. The act and referring to Shin as 'the bomb' angered his adoptive brother Sai who engaged Deidara and Sasori causing him to use his art to send the two Akatsuki to the ground. Kankuro then encased the pair in his puppets and Omoi used a lightning-infused sword to pierce Deidara to prevent him from blowing himsel up. Thus, the two were taken as captives with Deidara urging Sasori to not listen to the enemy. However, Sasori listened to the words of Kankuro where he came to make peace with his past thus ending the reanimation jutsu on him and he departed for the afterlife. This left Deidara the only captive who was furious and constantly attempting to escape his puppet prison though was unable to break free from it.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Deidara was a male human with slanted blue eyes and long golden blond hair that he wore drawn as a half ponytail with the rest hanging down freely.

He came to refer to his ninjutsu as his art and believed each bomb to be one of his works. According to him, true art was an explosion where it existed for one brief moment before disappearing.

Deidara referred to Sasori as Master Sasori (サソリの旦那, Sasori no Danna). This is probably because Deidara greatly respects him as a fellow artist. He also admits that Sasori was a lot stronger. Despite that, Deidara still argued with Sasori about what art is and directly disobeyed his command in spite of a threat to be killed. Deidara held that art is transient, departing quickly. Sasori believed that fine art is something wonderful that's left long into the future.

Powers and abilities

Born a human, Deidara came to be a shinobi where he trained himself in the manipulation of chakra to achieve various feats. He came to be a powerful ninja who was S-ranked due to his power and skill. It was said that he was a long range attacker who struggled to fight opponents in close quarters. As a Kekkei Genkai user, he came to be the user of Explosion Release (爆遁, Bakuton, Viz: Explosion Style) that allowed him to simultaneously use earth and lightning chakra natures to give his chakra explosive qualities.

A fancy and skillful fighter, Deidara uses special mouths in the palm of each hand and one giant mouth on his chest, which is always kept sewn shut, to create Exploding Clay (起爆粘土, Kibaku Nendo). As the name suggests, Deidara can make the clay explode using the command Katsu (喝). By infusing the clay with chakra and molding it into various forms, Deidara can create living explosives to sneak up on opponents. Deidara can even create clones from the clay, named Suicide Bombing Clones (自爆分身, Jibaku Bunshin), that can be a deadly surprise for opponents. Deidara's clay creations can range from microscopic to gigantic in size, allowing him to adapt to any situation. Deidara can also use the clay for other purposes, as he is frequently seen creating birds to be used for transportation.

Deidara ranks his clay by number in a fashion similar to C-4, the weakest being C1 and the most powerful being C4. The other clay ranks are much more dangerous than C1, and any foe that sees Deidara use any rank higher than C-1 is usually one Deidara sees as a strong fighter. These clays included:

• C-1 : Deidara's most commonly used form of clay, and is used to make small clay animal figures. The explosion power of C1 is equal to that of a hand grenade, although combined with the clay's ability to move on its own makes it an effective weapon. Deidara also uses C1 clay to create large birds he uses for long-distance transportation.
• C-2 : C-2 summons a large clay dragon whose main use is to spit out several smaller explosives made from the clay of its tail out of its mouth.
• C-3 : A large immobile clay statue that drops on top of targets from above, is capable of destroying entire cities with destructive power equalling that of nuclear weapon.
• C-4 : The most powerful of Deidara's ranked clays. It is used after Deidara eats clay with his own mouth followed by spitting the clay out making his "C4 Garuda", a giant clay clone of himself. The clone quickly explodes itself after it is created, spreading microscopic explosives throughout the surrounding area that destroy anything that breathes them in from the inside out.
• C0 : a suicide-bomb technique used as a last resort and said to be Deidara's Ultimate Art (究極芸術, Kyūkyoku Geijutsu).

Among the techniques known to him included:

• Explosive Clay (起爆粘土­, Kibaku Nendo) :
• Clay Clone (粘土分身­, Nendo Bunshin) :
• Explosive Landmines (起爆地雷­, Kibaku Jirai) :
• Suicide Bombing Clone :

After his defeat by Itachi Uchiha, he began to wear a scope on his left eye for long-range observation and had trained the eye itself to genjutsu.
