Deidara

Deidara is a male anime and manga character who features in Naruto.

Biography

Deidara (Japanese: デイダラ, Hepburn: Deidara) was once a ninja in Iwagakure, although one day 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.

Overview

Personality and attributes

Deidara refers to his ninjutsu as art, believing each bomb he makes to be such works.

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

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.

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.
