In chapter 362 of the Naruto manga, a beaten Deidara refuses to hand Sasuke the location of Itachi. Wounded pride over the Sharingan pushes the bomber toward his final masterpiece: a self-destruction meant to swallow everything for kilometres around.
Main Characters (4)
Summary
Now that Deidara has lost the fight, Sasuke demands to know where his brother Itachi can be found. Deidara will not talk, insisting he still holds explosive clay in reserve, a bluff Sasuke flatly dismisses. Being underestimated by yet another Uchiha lights a fuse in him, and he swears his craft will finally prove itself greater than the Sharingan.
Key Events
Sasuke shuts off his Sharingan, treating the eyes as unnecessary against a downed enemy, and that dismissal is the last insult Deidara can bear. He offers a quiet apology to Tobi, then reaches for his ultimate technique. Detonating his own body with C0, he aims to erase Sasuke and everything within a ten kilometre span alongside himself.
