    Picture 1 looks like Deidara is caught in another genjustsu.

    What if it's........ A MS genjutsu!!!

    I am liking the black background with the emphasis on the Sharingan looming over the character of Deidara. It has a very eerie feel to it, and I am hoping when it is animated it will be accompanied by some fitting music.

    It definitely seems like Deidara's caught by some form of Doujutsu. Guess that eye of his wasn't all that trained, after all.

    Excellent action this week. Sasuke's analytical abilities appear to be on par with those of Shikamaru. Everyone's prediction that Deidara may go all suicide-bomber on us my turn out to be right after all. I have to admit that I was initially not a big Deidara fan (Terracosmo, before you reach through the internet and kill me, let me finish), but seeing the action in these last few chapters has really changed my opinion of him, as both a fighter and a character. I think that it is a shame we are going to lose him so soon after discovering how cool he really is.

    And finally, because -- as everyone knows by now -- everything reminds me of Yu Yu Hakusho, I have to say that Deidara is basically Karasu of Team Toguro. The fight has gone, for the most part, identically to Karasu's only televised match, in which he battles Kurama. Karasu, master of explosives, goes toe to toe with the best strategist in the show who reveals previously unseen versions of his famous techniques, even after Karasu resorts to numerous invisible bombs.

    This should sound familiar by now

    The fight ends with a failed suicide bomb attempt by Karasu. All these similarities lead me to only one conclusion. Deidara will employ the same tactic, to the same effect.

    Excellent chapter. I had almost forgotten they introduced nature affinity in Naruto but here it comes flying back to the forefront of battle strategy. This ep demonstrated one of the best things about Naruto fights not involving Naruto, there is strategy involved in addition to guts and luck. If Sasuke didn't know Chidori and wasn't lightning based he'd likely be dead, regardless of how smart or analytical his Sharingan makes him.

    However one thing that was a bit of a stretch was him being able to see into his own blood vessels, that seems like more of a Byakugan ability than a Sharingan one. I know they said the Sharinag evolved from the Byakugan way back when, but if Sasuke is going to slowly unlock Byakugan abilities in addition to his Sharingan ones then he's going to be way too over powered.

    However as it stands now he's all tired out and even after he beats/survives the suicide of Diedara Tobi is still lurking around nearby...

    It seems Sasuke can see chakra no matter what it is bound in, earth, flesh, etc because his Sharingan gives color to chakra. It's an ability specialized to Sharingan rather than Sharingan conveniently adopting Byakugan's seeing abilities.

    Deidara has come off as simply desperate in the last 3 chapters. Is it me or do heros win when they resort to desperation while desperation generally signals the end for a villain?

    See how the Sasuke-haters tumble.

    Yeah...sasuke seeing his bloodstream bothered me as well, but I'm just going to attribute it to sasuke seeing deidara's chakra from within his own body.

    I'm guessing the fight will probably end by next chapter. Either one of them dies, or they are saved by someone else.

    Just out of curiousity, what is lightning's weakness? I don't think it even has one in pokemon? lol.

    Well, it is supposedly explained that Sasuke can see the color of chakra.....which should still be a Byakugan ability, I think. Whatever, this was a very cool chapter. I wish Kishimoto would be kind enough to show us all of the element seals, so we can start noticing these strategies before they explain them. It's like reading a mystery book, and trying to guess the end, when they've left out some important clues, so the reader cannot possibly guess. Scooby Doo never did that, so Naruto should give us some chance (originally it WAS possible to notice these things in Naruto).

    Well, anyway, Sasuke kicked ass, and it wasn't because he was all-powerful at all, but because he managed to use good strategy. It definitely looks as if the fight will end next chapter, probably with Deidara as the defeated. I wonder if Sasuke has learned to control the other elements. His ability to recognize a hand seal which isn't fire or lightening suggests that he's studied, but now I wouldn't be too surprised to see him use another element. What if: Deidara used a wind element to conquer Chidori, and then Sasuke countered with fire for the win? Eh? Nah.....it'll be a suicide bomb finale, definitely.

    damn, Deidora almost had him... so close.
    at least it was a good chapter, with the elements affinity and all, which lessens my sadness over sasuke not dying.

    well, there's still hope, Sasuke is really out of juice by now, tobi can come in and bust his ass, since he's probably air and water (just the general glitch i'm getting from him), at least force Sasuke to run away.

    It's wind. Hence:

    In Pokemon isn't it rock/earth?

    I love how these types of battles always end with each side giving a long winded explanation of how they arrived at that point and the strategies they used. Just for once I'd like to see:

    "But.... how did you know? :O "

    "Not telling, STFU."

    A suicide bomb is sooo obvious next chapter.
    I think I know precisely what I mean

    For naruto it's wind. For pokemon it's ground but is also weak to grass. Saying that, it's really weird how lightning is strong against earth, I don't see the logic behind it. It seems in Naruto the weaknesses are opposite to that of pokemon. Then again I can't see how wind is strong against lightning. Lightning should just go straight down and cut through wind. Confusion!!!

    Back on topic, Cool chapter again, it's strange now, I still don't really like deidara that much. Sure he's done some clever tricks with explosions but I've seen better tactics to use from other animes. Sasuke really did have a hard time against Deidara which surpised me. This fight says to me that Deidara probably could've beaten Orochimaru now if they had to fight each other. Heck I think even Sasori could've won since Deidara was his subordinate and you can't genjutsu a puppet. Interesting fight, can't wait to see next weeks one now. It'll either end up like Yuyu Hakusho or Tobi will step in and interfere and maybe we get to see some action from the other members of Team Snake

    I don't understand how earth is weak to lightning...since when can the dirt be electrocuted? Pokemon had it better.

    Nice chapter though.

    Now with Deidara facing death, I really hope Tobi steps in since I wanna see what he can do.

    Everyone insists that deidara will suicide-bomb...but how can you be sure that sasuke can't pull enough chakra to just diffuse it like all of deidara's other bombs?

    Deidara already pulled the suicide-bomb feint against Kakash/Gai's teams, so I doubt we'll see it again.

    well, he chidoried himself, which probably hurt him quite a bit, add that to the entire fight (massive sharingan usage, curse seal blowing apart as well as summoning wing-replacment snakes, and the general ass whipping Dei has handed him) and it's quite possible that Sasuke doens't have much chackra left either, I don't think we'll see another chidori from him (if he could have thrown one out, he should have used it instead of just punching Dei).
    he defintally can't win against a 2nd akatsuki member now, and i have a hard time believeing sugietsu and juggo can win against one on thier own (at least on thier current level).

    I'd like to see a scene with Tobi coming in with slow motion handclaps and says something mysterious to Sasuke or to the snake team, and then goes off with Dei (or kills him and eats out the brains, whatever fits) leaving sasuke not victorious and giving us some new questions about him, the leader and everything else. maybe tie it up with the weird girl from sasuke's team, god knows her name).

    as for light-earth, god knows how this works, as far as i'm aware, earth sucks in electricity, which is the exact opposite of weakness, can someone remind of the two circles?
    the good one is the circle(y) thing of wood feeds the fire, fire gives birth to metal and stuff, and the bad is the pentgram thing, where wood takes in the water, which covered the flames and co.
    but can someone post the exact dinamics?
