Deidara Jutsu

Nature: Earth

Type:

C0-The highest form of Deidara's Exploding clay(his "Ultimate Art" (究極芸術, Kyūkyoku Geijutsu)), C0 is a suicide technique used as a last resort. He reveals a mouth on his chest, which is stitched up. After undoing the stitches, Deidara feeds it a large ball of clay. His explosive chakra then manifests itself in his veins, flowing through his body. These "veins" then condense into a sphere. The sphere then opens up and detonates, destroying everything within a ten kilometer radius

C1-Deidara's most basic and versatile form of explosive clay, that is created from a single palm mouth. These are small animated dolls that often resemble small birds or insects, though he has once made snakes, fish and some misshapen-like creatures controlled by Deidara through a wire made out of clay which could regenerate themselves, while multiplying. Depending upon which variation is created, they will retain the abilities of the creatures they where modelled after, i.e. those resembling birds can still fly. This feature combined with their little independent explosive power, makes them excellent for covert operations. He can produce and release a significant number of them at high speeds

C2-One of Deidara's specialties, that requires the use of both of his palm mouths, creating a large dragon. The dragon itself is capable of flight and while Deidara is safely on its back, the dragon can spit out smaller clay figures that attack the opponent like guided missiles. These independent missile-like creatures take the form of a greatly reduced version of the larger dragon that created them, however, despite this decrease in size they are still relatively larger than a normal person. Each is capable of tracking their intended target and producing a significant explosion proportional to size upon contact but as they emerge, they consume a substantial amount of clay from the original dragon, initially extracting it from the creature's tail. This ultimately limits the number that each C2 "Dragon" is capable of creating, before clay must be sacrificed from more vital areas, such as the body or wings. The dragon can also produce clay mines at the expense of clay, that take the form of small spherical creatures, which can be subsequently manipulated to force opponents to fight in a limited space. This is achieved through the use of Tobi's earth release : hiding like a mole technique to hide a large amount of these mines underground, without the opponents' knowledge to their exact location. When this tatic is combined with the previously mentioned missiles, it can confine the enemies' movements to such an extent, that they are forced to suffer the explosion.

C3-Deidara's most powerful large scale bomb, that once activated becomes an enormous, roughly human-shaped statue that Deidara drops on targets from above. Its explosive power was great enough to apparently destroy a large portion of Sunagakure.In its first and only demonstration, Deidara had already pre-prepared the explosive clay for this attack into a more portable form, where its appearance was exactly the same as the larger version. Once activated, the bomb instantaneously increases its proportions before being subsequently dropped, where it extends both its "arms" outwards until they are completely horizontal.

C4-A giant doll, shaped like Deidara himself. When it ruptures, a cloud of microscopic bombs is released. Impossible to be seen by normal people, the victims breathe in the bombs, which then enter the bloodstream. Once there, the countless micro-bombs explode, causing the victims' bodies to disintegrate at the cellular level, literally turning them into dust. According to Deidara, he created C4 for the sole purpose to defeat itachi,to combat his sharingan it can create.This jutsu is named C4 Karura, so it may be possible that there are other varieties of C4, but it is never discovered. In creating this jutsu he eats the clay with his own mouth as opposed to the ones on his hands.

Clay clone-The user makes a clone out of mud and clay so that the clone takes in all the damage. In the anime, it is shown as a clone melting into clay after an attack from Rasengan.However, kakashi refers to this as a Kawarimi which possibly means Deidara can switch himself with a clone to avoid damage.

Exploding Clay Minions-Deidara creates exploding clay that is connected to his hands with a thin cord of clay. The clay then rises from the ground, molding itself into human-like forms. Deidara runs chakra through the cords of clay, manipulating the clay substances to attack the opponent. The density of the clay is strong enough to repel and suck in a sword. When cut apart, the clay substances form more human/animal like forms. Deidara then can connect more cords of clay to the fallen clay pieces. Furthermore, Deidara can then use the clay as explosives, attacking the opponent and covering them with clay, which then explodes.
