Deidara:
And Sasuke… I must punish him for killing Orochimaru when I wanted to be the one to deliver the final blow.
[A bomb blast]
Deidara:
Just look at the way he is glaring at us, Tobi!
Clash!
Sasuke:
Tell me where Itachi Uchiha is. Tell me and I’ll let you go.
Deidara:
Agh… Sharingan, huh? Well, you’re Itachi’s kid brother, alright… You were only able to kill Orochimaru thanks to your Uchiha blood. Humph! You were lucky to be born into that family. And nothing more!
[Sasuke attacks Deidara and Tobi]
Deidara:
He's fast…!
Tobi:
Aaagh!
[Tobi collapsed]
Sasuke:
One down… Now chatterbox, you’re going to tell me about Itachi.
Deidara:
What are you doing, Tobi?! Don’t let your guard down just 'cause he's a kid! Hum!
Tobi:
He… his teleportation-jyutu makes him too fast for both of us!
Sasuke:
That guy…
Deidara:
Let me size him up with some chakra level C1 explosives first…
[Deidara made detonation clay dolls]
Deidara:
Tobi! Stay back!
Tobi:
Wha… Whoaaaaa!
[Sasuke blocked the clay dolls by Chidori Senbon]
Tobi:
Whoaaaaa! Time out, partner! No! Don’t blow them up yet!
Deidara:
Hah…
Tobi:
Ooh! Behind you! Look out!
[Deidara throws his clay doll on his back]
Deidara:
HA!
[Explosion]
Tobi:
Deidara! Ooh… Ahhh… he may have been strict, but he was a good partner… I will never forget him… Deidara…
Deidara:
Okay! Will you just shut up already?!
Tobi:
Huh? Hey, you still alive!
Sasuke:
He can produce explosives from his palms…
Deidara:
I somehow managed to escape hidden in the bomb blast… Good thing I kept the chakra level at C1. Humph! He's certainly fast on his feet… How about this?
[Two clay dolls appeared]
Deidara:
I think I'll play with you for a bit!
Sasuke:
That’s child’s play… what a joke…
[Sasuke cuts off clay doll’s body, but clay doll keeps moving]
Deidara:
Hahaha… Not done yet!
[Sasuke keeps fighting back]
Deidara:
It’s almost time… HA!
[Clay doll explodes]
Tobi:
No way…
Deidara:
Hm?
[Sasuke appears]
Tobi:
Just as I thought…
Deidara:
Shut up!
[Clay dolls captured Sasuke and exploded]
Deidara:
How’s that?!
Tobi:
Hah…
Deidara:
Guess he's not so great after all…Huh!
[Sasuke appears]
Tobi:
Yap! I knew it!
Deidara:
Look, Tobi! Just whose side are you on here anyway?!
Deidara:
Substitution-jyutu, huh? Well, he's clearly very skilled… Which means, C2 is my best bet!
Tobi:
Huh?! But… but that’s…Agh!
[Gigantic clay doll appears]
Tobi:
Taddaaaaa! Presenting one of my partner’s signature pieces, his specialty - the C2 Dragon!
Deidara:
You know what to do, Tobi?!
Tobi:
Yes siree, partner! We're going with “that”, right?
Deidara:
Yap. That is the plan…HA!
[C2 dragon produces a massive amount of C1 bombs]
Sasuke:
Can that giant thing become an explosive as well?!
Deidara:
I’m counting on you, Tobi!
Tobi:
Yes, sir!
Sasuke:
Judging by the way that thing looks, it can probably fly too… Not good!
Tobi:
Here he comes! Now let’s really show him… let’s show him the power of your pop art, partner!
Deidara:
Pop is dead! My art is… SUPERFLAT! HA!
[Explosion]
Sasuke:
This one was different… it was a guided missile… Huh?! Where is the other one?! First things first, then!
[C2 dragon avoided Sasuke’s attack]
Deidara:
So his range is only five meters, huh?
Sasuke:
He figured out my limit…
Deidara:
You copied that off Kakashi! But I will give you credit for that change in chakra form! That wasn’t half bad! This one's got more bite than the last bunch! Blow him to bits!
[Explosion]
Deidara:
Man… he is fast…
[Sasuke treads on the land mine]
Deidara:
Got him…
[Explosion]
Deidara:
That'll do it… Agh! That’s Orochimaru’s Curse Mark! I didn’t realize he could grow wings too… he dodged my attack by flying upward…
Tobi:
Partner! I set all of the land mine clay and we’re good to go!
Deidara:
Good job, Tobi! Now just stay out of the way!
Tobi:
Okay!
Sasuke:
Guided missile attacks from above, and land mines from below…
Deidara:
This C2 assault is brought you by the linked attacks of 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'll go off!
Sasuke:
So he plans to fire that guided missile directly at me… and he is flying just outside of my maximum attack radius.
Deidara:
I see that your leg is injured. I wonder if you can dodge my attack now… huh! This next one's gonna be huge. Humph… You can’t escape! HA!
[Explosion]
Deidara:
Shouldn’t have used your wings as shields… You can’t fly anymore! Not with one wing! Hahaha…
Tobi:
You’re so awesome, Deidara!
Deidara:
Now to settle this at last! Humph!
[Sasuke manipulates two Shuriken to attack Deidara]
Deidara:
Like that could get me! Haha… go ahead and leave, there’s no place to land except on a land mine! And that'll stop you for sure!
[Sasuke landed on the hilt of his sword]
Deidara:
He made a foothold?!
[Sasuke stabbed the C2 dragon]
Deidara:
He got me?!
[Sasuke cut off C2 dragon’s wing]
Tobi:
Your balance!
Deidara:
Deliberately thrust his blade into the ground… to check for land mines and create a foothold for himself! The length of his sword plus the height he could leap with one wing was just enough to get him in range! Wait! The spot! Of course! With that attack, he lured me into position right above his blade! The shortest distance his chakra blade could reach! Agh!
[Two shurikens hit Daidara]
Deidara:
AGH!
Tobi:
Deidara!
Deidara:
I… I can’t move! No… [???] the land mines!
Deidara:
AGH!
[Explosion]
Tobi:
Whoa… Partner!
[Sasuke escaped from an explosion]
Tobi:
You did die a death by bombing after all! Deidara, you fool!
Deidara:
How many times do I have to tell you to shut up, Tobi?!
Tobi:
What? You're still alive?
Sasuke:
Obstinate…
Deidara:
You… you damn brat… Those eyes… it’s those same eyes…
[Past]
Deidara:
The Akatsuki? Don’t know and don’t care! Now get lost! You’re keeping me from my art appreciation time!
Sasori:
And I have to take this brat on as my partner? Sure, he's full of energy. But he seems like the… early-death type.
Itachi:
It’s our leader’s orders. His talent will be very useful.
Deidara:
You know about my talent? But how?! Who are you?! Talk!
Kisame:
We know you’re aiding anti-government factions with terrorist bombings. And we are also aware that you’re Rogue Ninja. So, what exactly is your purpose?
Deidara:
Purpose? I don’t need a purpose. I’ll take commissions to make explosions. Using my art. Humph…
Sasori:
Your… art…?
Deidara:
Yeah. Look! Well? Such refined lines [and a form] that pursues the two dimensional déformer! This is true art! But my art goes far beyond this as well! My pieces are versatile. While they hold shape, they are merely objects. But they can also explode! And when it does explode, it makes its existence more sublime! And it finally comes fully into its own! I feel that true art lives only in that flash of sublimation! True art is an explosion!
Sasori:
Disgusting…
Kisame:
Is he finished…?
Itachi:
Who knows…? Who cares… I’ll handle this.
Deidara:
What’s up with his eyes? You wanna fight?
Itachi:
If I win, you’ll become a member of the Akatsuki.
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. So a little later, and you would've 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 it is that!
Itachi:
You just lost this fight.
Deidara:
Don’t you mess with me! I’m better than you are! My talent is absolute! My art can’t be beat! I know I’m better than you! I will not lose to you! Not to such a… SUCH A…
[Deidara is eating his detonating clay]
Tobi:
Huh?! He is eating the detonating clay. But that means…
Deidara:
I saved the best for last! This'll kill you! Tobi! Run! Now!!!
Tobi:
Huh?! Whoaaaaa! Oh no! It’s the C4 Carura!
[Deidara vomits the detonating clay]
Tobi:
Hurry!
Deidara:
I set this jyutu aside especially to kill Itachi, but… oh well…
Sasuke:
What is this…?!
<Preview>
Tobi:
Boy, this kid is strong! But then again, what else should we expect from Itachi’s little brother? And Deidara sure is fired up! Flying, exploding and falling. Oh my! At this rate, he’ll really have to apologize to Itachi for taking down his little brother… wait, could that be… Is he really going to… No, not yet Deidara! Don’t say “HA” yet!
And Sasuke… I must punish him for killing Orochimaru when I wanted to be the one to deliver the final blow.
[A bomb blast]
Deidara:
Just look at the way he is glaring at us, Tobi!
