CHAPTER 361 - Weak Point

manga-embed-btm-1

     Deidara spits out another clay replica of himself.  This one is not nearly as big as Garuda but begins to expand immediately and quickly envelops Sasuke.  Deidara tells Sasuke that it looks like he is the one out of chakra because he can’t escape.  He completes the bomb and then propels himself away from it.    Deidara attempts to mould another clay bird to ride upon, but the wounds to his arms make it impossible.

    Inside the bomb, Sasuke uses his Sharingan to analyze his arm and is shocked to see that Deidara’s nano-bombs have already infiltrated his blood stream.  With the last of his nano-bombs in Sasuke's bloodchakra, he forms another Chidori to break out of Deidara’s bomb.  Using his wings, Sasuke flies toward Deidara who is still falling through the air.  Deidara tells him it’s too late and detonates his bombs. However, nothing happens and both combatants fall to the forest.  Deidara sees one ofsharingan Sasuke’s summoned snakes crumble to bits as it falls to the ground.  He believes he has won, but once again he feels the cold gaze of the Sharingans staring into his back.

    Sasuke surprises Deidara from behind and lands a fierce punch to his face.  Deidara is sent flying and rolls over several sucker punchedtimes before stopping.  He is confused because he was sure that there was no genjutsu used this time.  Sasuke has reverted to his normal self, having nearly exhausted his chakra.  The trace of electricity still crawling over Sasuke’s body tells Deidara that his opponent had discovered the weakness in his clay bombs.  Sasuke tells Deidara that he had seen through the Earth element hand seal heSasuke used Chidori on himself always makes when detonating the clay bombs.  And since Earth is weak against Lightning, Sasuke came up with the idea to use his last Chidori on himself in order to cancel out all the nano-bombs in his body.

lightning beats earth    But it wasn’t just a blind gamble on Sasuke’s part.  He discovered this weakness earlier when he pierced Deidara’s clay bombs with his Chidori Needles (Senbon Chidori).  When Deidara detonated them, the ones hit by Sasuke’s Chidori did not explode.  But Sasuke still wasn’t sure whether it was his Chidori that was cancelling them out or if it was Deidara controlling which ones exploded.  He confirmed this when he threw his Chidori charged into Deidara’s mind field.  The Sharingan colors chakra, so Sasuke was fully aware of the positions of Deidara’s mines from the very start.  His sword pierced one of the clay mines, and when it did not explode, Sasuke knew he had found the weakness in Deidara’s jutsu.
