Deidara

デイダラ

Deidara is a missing-nin from Iwagakure. Prior to joining the Akatsuki, he worked as a mercenary terrorist bomber, a role that drew the attention of Pain. Pain dispatched other Akatsuki members to recruit Deidara, but he initially refused. Following his defeat by Itachi Uchiha, however, Deidara was compelled to join the organization. From that moment on, Deidara harbored a deep loathing for Itachi and became determined to defeat him, even training one of his eyes to counter Itachi's signature ability: genjutsu. Upon joining the organization, Deidara was partnered with Sasori, whose artistic talent and insight he admired. After Sasori's death, Deidara is paired with Tobi, whom he treats as a disciple. Despite Tobi's tendency to accidentally anger Deidara, Deidara takes great care to keep Tobi out of harm's way and even dedicates his final moments to apologizing to him.
In battle, Deidara uses special mouths located in the palm of each hand to create Exploding Clay, which is chakra-infused clay that explodes on command. He commonly uses the command "Katsu" to trigger it. The blast strength of his creations is determined by the amount of chakra he adds to them. His clay can take on any size or form, ranging from microscopic in size to copies of himself as tall as a skyscraper. Deidara refers to his creations as art, believing the most beautiful aspect of them to be their detonation. His admiration for his art is such that he believes it cannot be defeated, leading to overconfidence in battle. Depending on the complexity or potency of one of his works, Deidara applies a designation ranging from "C1" to "C4", with the former being the most basic and the latter being his strongest and most complex attack. For his final act, Deidara also has a mouth on his chest that, once provided with clay, turns him into a living bomb that destroys everything in a 10 kilometer radius.
