Naruto:Shippuden 124

Tobi:
Huh?! He is eating the detonating clay. But that means…

Deidara:
I saved the best for last! This will kill you! Tobi! Run! Now!!!

Tobi:
Huh?! Whoaaaaa! Oh no, no! It’s the C4 Carura!

[Deidara vomits the detonating clay]

Tobi:
Hurry! [Beat!]

Deidara:
I set this Jyutu aside especially to kill Itachi, but… oh well…

Sasuke:
Is that a bomb too?! It’s huge… if that thing goes off…

Deidara:
What? You're just gonna run away now? Do you really think that you can escape from me and my C4 Carura?

[C4 Carura ruptured]

Sasuke:
It misfired? No… that isn’t it… that’s…

Deidara:
That’s right! I win! Art is an explosion! HA!

[Living creatures' bodies collapsed instantly]

Deidara:
Sublime!

Sasuke:
Wha…? Impossible! Agh… this can’t be happening!

Art


Deidara:
Hahahahaha… this is my greatest masterpiece!

Tobi:
There we go… the C4 Carura. Microscopic, nano-sized explosives. When the giant Deidara ruptures, the blast wave disperses explosives too small for the eye to see. Scattering them all over the atmosphere. The many bombs then implant themselves within the bodies of any and all creatures that inhale them and then they explode the multiple cellular level explosions destroy their victims from the inside out… Huh, a fearsome Jyutsu indeed.

Deidara:
I have Itachi to thank for this… huh… Haha… I’ve won! I’ve won! My art has won this fight!

[Sasuke attacks Deidara]

Sasuke:
It seems that you’ve exhausted all your chakra. And now you're too slow to react.

Deidara:
Those eyes…

Saske:
Your explosives may be too small for the eye to see… but my Sharingan sees chakra as colors. Your mini-bombs infused with chakra were clearly visible to me. As a large cloud of smoke. I could also tell that you took great care to remain hovering just outside the range of the nanobombs. Since I could see the explosives, escape was easy.

Deidara:
But I just saw you die from my C4 with my very own eyes…

Sasuke:
That was my Genjyutsu.

Deidara:
Of course… so that’s what it was…huh…

Sasuke:
I avoided hitting your vital organs. Now tell me where Itachi is.

Deidara:
Hahahaha… Like I said, I’ve got to remember to thank Itachi…

[Real Deidara grabbed Sasuke’s foot]

Sasuke:
A clay clone… I should’ve known…

Deidara:
You see now?! I anticipated your Genjyutsu. You’re just like Itachi… and I never fall for the same trick twice! Hm! Yes… it all began the day that I fought Itachi…

[Past]

Deidara:
That’s fine! Just don’t mock my art! That’s what my Ninjyutu is! A noble and refined art! Humph!

[Deidara creates a clay doll]

Deidara:
Now! Feel my art! HA!

[Itachi was trapped with the clay doll]

Deidara:
Haha… you talk big but it looks like that’s all you've got! You’re done! Humph!

Itachi:
Am I? You should take a good look at yourself.

[Deidara found himself trapped with the clay doll]

Deidara:
Agh?! What?! How?!

Kisame:
That was close. A little later and you would have blown yourself up…

Sasori:
I told you… he was the type who was gonna die an early death…

Deidara:
Genjyutu?! Since when?!

Kisame:
Right from the beginning. When you saw Itachi’s Sharingan, you were already under his Genjyutu then.

Deidara:
It’s beautiful… this… this is art… No… I became intimidated by someone else’s abilities? That… art? Never…! I refuse to acknowledge that it is that!


Deidara:
Since that day, I’ve trained my left eye to counter the Sharingan! As if I wouldn’t find a way to counter such a powerful Genjyutsu! And now it’s over! How about a direct C4 attack?! HA!

Sasuke:
Ugh?!

Deidara:
So now who’s the one that's running out of chakra, huh? But you don’t have enough to free yourself! Agh!

Sasuke:
Just as I thought!

Deidara:
The inside of this model is just like the other one! Full of invisible C4 bombs, hm! It hurts… and worse… I used up my chakra with that last attack! What a poor piece…

[Sasuke escaped from the C4 Cagura doll]

Deidara:
What do you do now, huh?!

[Sasuke tries to attack Deidara]

Deidara:
Agh! The last of his chakra is in that lightning blade! That lightning blade attack won’t reach me at this distance! I’m well out of your range! [It's] over… HA!

[Deidara saw Sasuke’s wing were collapsed]

Deidara:
I won… I really did it… My art triumphed! As I knew it would! Haha…

[Deidara felt the existence of Sasuke]

Deidara:
No way…!

[Sasuke attacks Deidara]

Deidara:
What is going on here? That was no Genjyutsu… but then it means… How… how did he disarm the C4 bombs… but how… don’t tell me that you… you figured it out…

Sasuke:
Yeah, I did. A while back. When facing the Sharingan, you really outta weave your signs out of the line of sight. Because no matter how fast you are, these eyes can read them. All of your Jyutsu so far have used earth style signs. My Chidori uses Lightning style. You do the math.

Deidara:
So you knew about all along then… then when you attacked me with that lightning blade…

Sasuke:
Earth style is vulnerable to Lightning. I knew that if I used it, then the lightning blade would defuse your bombs. It’s very [careless] heal, isn’t it?

Deidara:
Damn you… Of course… the lightening blade wasn’t intended for me… It was for yourself! You used it to deactivate the C4 in your body!

Sasuke:
That’s right… but it left my body in tatters too. By the way, my Jyutsu is technically called Chidori.

Deidara:
He figured out my art’s weakness so quickly… and with perfect accuracy… when did you realize?

Sasuke:
After those lands mines went off. I knew then. But I’ve been analyzing it from the very start. Early on, I countered your first attack with Chidori Senbon, I noticed that some of the bombs you created exploded… but some did not. That’s when I first formulated my hypothesis.

Deidara:
Your hypothesis? What?

Sasuke:
That time, the only explosive that actually detonated was the one you threw back at me again, the one that you threw when you tried to evade my counterattack. But all of the other explosives, the ones that I blocked with my Chidori Senbon did not detonate. However, it was possible that you purposely chose not to trigger them. They did fall close to your partner, so perhaps you disabled them.

Deidara:
I see… So in another words, you couldn’t tell if your Chidori stop them from exploding or if I did. Yes, you checked your theory by testing it on the land mine…

Sasuke:
Yes, exactly.


Deidara:
This C2 assault is brought you by the linked attacks with the mines that restrict your ground movement, and the pinpoint missile attacks from the air! You’re completely surrounded by land mines in the ground all around you! Step on one, even touch it, and it will go off!


Sasuke:
If they detonate automatically, then they’re not under your control. And if that was the case, then I could confirm if my Lightning Style Jyutsu could defuse your Earth Style bombs. That’s right. That time I stuck my sword into the ground, I wasn’t trying to find a place in-between the land mines. I was testing my hypothesis by running my Chidori charged blade through mine I knew was there.

Deidara:
But… how could you?! How could you ever pinpoint the position of the landmines like that?!

Sasuke:
These eyes see chakra as different colors. Didn’t you hear me before?

Deidara:
You could see where the land mines were?! So then he wasn’t just trying to find a safe place to stand… he was a step ahead… seeing if he could disarm my detonating clay. But what would you have done if the mine had stayed active and gone off?!

Sasuke:
There were only two outcomes. Fortunately, I had a backup plan just in case. But I guess I didn’t need to test it out.

Deidara:
He still has other Jyutsu…

Sasuke:
Now tell me where Itachi is.

[Sasuke defuses Deidara’s attack]

Deidara:
You sure can talk tough. But you’re on the last legs too! Your chakra took a big hit, didn’t it?! Haha… I still win. I have some detonating clay left.

[Deidara sees Sasuke’s Sharingan]

Deidara:
Are you still calm? Shouldn’t you be worried at least a little? Come on, humph… You’re about to be killed by my art… Hahahahaha… that is what annoys me the most! About both you and your brother! You think you’re just so cool?! Those eyes! Those overconfident eyes make me so sick! Your eyes! Always judging me and my art… I’ll never forgive them for that! You have absolutely no respect for my art, I can tell that you don’t! I can never forgive those eyes that just ignore my art!

Sasuke:
I couldn’t care less about all of that. I just want you to tell me where I can find Itachi.

Deidara:
So you’ve retracted your Sharingan… Do you really take me that lightly?

[Deidara prepares for his final attack]

Deidara:
This is my ultimate art. This time I’m going to detonate myself!

Sasuke:
He's insane…

Deidara:
In death I shall become art itself… no one's seen an explosion like this! One that [shall] leave behind a scar on the very earth itself! And then… I’ll receive more admiration for my art than anyone has ever seen before! Sorry, Tobi…

Tobi:
Uh?

Deidara:
But while I' will be admired, you’ll most definitely be dead! This explosion will cover ten kilometers! You can’t run away from this one! Tremble, be afraid, recoil and despair, cower in awe! And cry your heart out! Because my art… HA!!!!


Deidara:

Is an explosion!!!!!


<Preview>

Sakura:
Naruto, there’s evidence Sasuke was here until just before we arrived!

Naruto:
What?!

Kakashi:
It’s faint but definitely his sent. I'd say he fought a battle here.

Naruo:
What are we waiting for?! Let's go after him!

Kakashi:
We can’t.

Naruto:
Why not?!

Kakashi:
His trail goes cold here. In this case, either Sasuke was annihilated in that explosion or…

Naruto:
Next time, “Disappearance”.
