sasuke had flight and chidori to hard counter, whats stopping deidara from getting on that c2 dragon and literally spamming heat seeking clay birds to hit itachi, as well as c3 which would REQUIRE the yata mirrior to block draining itachis stamina Neither of them have an answer to, or can escape Sasori poison clouds. Tsukuyomi takes a lot of chakra and has a strain on his eyes too more so than Amaterasu.

He literally stated he used lightning release. The only way u can escape the big Deidara is by making Deidara think he used it with genjutsu like Sasuke did. Also let's not act like a Sharingan user who can copy all 5 natures can't use lightning release Take away gentjutsu, then we talk.

As well as the genjutsu counter This is how he avoided the first one though. He's able to killed Third Kazekage with moderate difficulty which known as strongest kazekage and i wonder if Itachi can dodge all Sasori's attack cause most of Sasori's puppet attack is tricky and hard to predict Kisame and Itachi.

I don't want to discuss with 3 people at once Deidara will be in the sky while Itachi would be on the ground. The rich text editor does not work with JavaScript switched off. Itachi doesn’t even know about it. But Deidara will use that at the beginning of the battle not the end.so Itachi won’t escape it sense Deidara won’t be caught off guard by genjutsu since he will be having enough stamina I think Deidara takes it extremely high diff with C4 only. Also Sasuke didn’t realize what it was until the second time tbf where he was caught inside the clay. He can’t hop out of range if he doesn’t know what it is tbf. You never gave an argument how Itachi would win this fight besides Amaterasu and long range ninjutsu.

Sasuke only chidori'd himself because of Deidara's clay clone surrounding him. That's assuming Deidara lasts long enough to use it.

A Low 6-B suicide attack that takes a significant amount of time to charge and leaves Deidara open, that he only used because he was so pissed he couldn't beat Sasuke.

Plus we can’t forget that they travel by air currents and the wind can jsut keep blowing them before Itachi actually realize what they are which is point I’m trying to make.

iirc ,when he used it to break out of jiraya's toad stomach he was in quite a bad shape , not completely out of fight but quite tired and said that he will need some hours or days of rest to be back in full . Alright alright you won.

@chair-sama: Ok.

He get a turned into tuna fish.8. Ama also burns slowly, so Deidara can take off his cloak depending on where it hits.

It's possible to nail Deidara before he gets serious, like Itachi did, but even if Jiraiya can't peg him with Wild Lion's Mane Gamabunta gives him what he needs here. Deidara can fly and is faster while flying than Itachi (speed is not equalized so it's Relativistic vs Relativistic+ flight speed). The problem here is that Itachi isn't Sasuke and Deidara knows how dangerous Itachi is and he might pull his cards. Deidara takes the fight too the sky and drops C2 bombs as distractions while using either Giant Deidara or trap Deidara on the bird and release the C4 in the air which screws Itachi

He Chidoried himself and destroyed the bombs inside his body,which Itachi can't do.

I don't remember if there's more examples against people. Sasori can do the same with iron sand.4. He still whipped Deidara's ass.

Itachi lacks the physical hitting power to shatter Huriko. Once this happens, kisame spams a water bubble, trapping sassori to prevent any poison gas and proceeds to smash on him. Messages: Deidara is the worst match for Itachi.

I don't think Itachi is that cocky and he can tell the difference between clones and the real thing iirc. LOOK at him. i may be wrong , my memories of early naruto isn't what it used to be .

He wouldn't enter Totsuka Blade range while flying. Lls....you guys are just wanking and not actually taking into account these characters respective fighting styles. dude it is as fast as the user's perception, it would definitely hit him. And some of them are true since Itachi can use Susano that intangible to attack and cannot be destroy and also Kisame with Samehada which help heal him if he's wounded Sasori uses chakra strings to manipulate his puppets & himself. So Itachi has 0 lighting jutsu to counter the C4.

Of course Deidara doesn't know about Itachi's arsenal but it's vice versa.

i agree that even if the ban of genjutsu make it so deidara at least have some chances , they're really small .
