Sasuke's duel with Deidara turns into a trap of buried bombs. Pinned in place by explosives hidden underfoot and hounded by a clay dragon from above, Sasuke gambles on severing the beast's wing to turn the artist's own minefield against him.
Deidara's clay dragon, dubbed C2, scatters a batch of miniature bombs before pressing its attack on Sasuke. When Sasuke lunges to bring the dragon down, it climbs out of range and shells him from a distance, pushing him to unleash the second stage of his cursed seal. Tobi announces that he has planted the smaller charges in the earth directly beneath Sasuke, so any step could set them off and leave him rooted to the spot. Convinced his opponent is cornered, Deidara closes in for the kill. Sasuke seizes the opening to slice through one of the dragon's wings, sending it crashing down and detonating the buried field of mines.
Sasuke escalates to the second level of his cursed seal to survive the dragon's aerial barrage. Tobi's buried explosives pin Sasuke in place, seemingly sealing his fate. Sasuke reverses the situation by clipping the dragon's wing, dropping it onto the very minefield meant to trap him.

Naruto built the transformation jutsu himself, and the Hidden Leaf has been quietly not talking about it ever since. The story behind our 90s R&B record about the Naruko question everybody dodges....
