Chapter 261

[drcitan]

I forgot about there only being two real people inside the cave. Deidara is gonna need some backup because of that smashed hand and plus he used up most of his charka against Gaara. He has already used his favorite #18 bomb and is out of clay for his attacks.

But then again I learned from Naruto that anything can happen. A lot of people seem to be already labeling Deidara's stregnth since he fought against Gaara. Deidara probably showed 50% to around 70% of his strength seeing how he was already underestimating Gaara by not equiping himself with more clay and paper and oragami.(I also think Gaara wasn't 100% because he had to protect the villagers but thats a whole different subject)

I would'nt be surprised if he fled right after his backup arrived, which would leave room for him to make another appearance in the future. It would also give another Akastuki member(Zetsu maybe) a chance to show their skills.

Sasori will have his hands full with Chiyo and possibly Sakura joining her side. Chiyo is strong but but I'm assuming because of her old age she might lack the stamina(charka) needed to battle Sasori one on one. Sakura would be the perfect teamate since she has already dealt with Sasori's posion and can create distance by using her amazing strength.

Does Shannaro really think that the akatsuki leader is the fourth, or is it just a recurring theme in their comics?

I think its just a recurring theme. Lets hope they know better than to think that.
