C4 Garuda

As Tobi flees the area, Deidara shapes his C4 detonation into a towering copy of himself. The blast disperses a haze of unseeable bombs that reduce anyone who inhales them to nothing. Sasuke seems to perish in the cloud, and Deidara begins to gloat. Instead, Sasuke strikes him from behind, having spotted the tiny explosives with his Sharingan and slipped past them, then cast a genjutsu to fake his own death. The victory proves hollow, however, since the Deidara he cut down turns out to be a clay double, the bomber having recognised the illusion after training for years to break free of Sharingan tricks.

Deidara unleashes C4, filling the air with microscopic bombs that disintegrate on contact with the lungs. Sasuke survives by detecting the particles with his Sharingan and faking his death through genjutsu. Deidara counters with a clay substitute, revealing his own long training against Sharingan-based illusions.

This is chapter three hundred sixty, collected in volume forty as part of the Itachi Pursuit Mission. It first appeared in Japan on July 16, 2007. Its title names Deidara's C4 detonation and its Garuda form.
