Deidara: You...you couldn't have...
You figured it out?
SFX: sit

Sasuke: Yeah...a while ago.

Against the Sharingan, the only thing you can do is hide your hands while you form seals.
No matter how fast you are, if they're visible, your seals will be read.

And all your techniques use earth-element seals.

My Chidori is a lightning jutsu...
You get it now?

Deidara: You DID notice...
Then that Raikiri you used earlier...

Page 14:
Sasuke: Earth is weak against lightning.
I diffused your explosives by overloading them with electricity.

Deidara: You...

So you ran that last Raikiri into your own body...

and turned every C4 bomb inside into a dud.

Sasuke: Yep...it took a hell of a toll on me, though...
By the way, it's called "Chidori."

Deidara: He spotted my art's one weak spot in such a short time...
When did you figure it out?

Page 15:
Sasuke: After you set the land mines...
but of course, I was analyzing your moves right from the start.

By countering your first attack with my Chidori Needles...
SFX: PACHICHICHICHICHI

Sasuke: I noticed how some of them went off and some didn't.

That's when I came up with a theory.

Deidara: Theory?
SFX: Huu haa

Page 16:
Sasuke: The explosion you set off to help dodge my attack was from a new bomb you made right then, not one from the original wave.

But the none of the ones I lanced with my Chidori Needles exploded.

However, since they landed near your partner, I also considered that you might not have detonated them on purpose.

Deidara: So you weren't sure if it was your Chidori that stopped them, or me...
Now I get it...that's why you risked setting off the mines?

Sasuke: Exactly.

You said yourself that they would blow up automatically.

Deidara: My land mines are all over the place. One false step and you'll be blown to bits!

Page 17:
Sasuke: But if they detonate automatically, it wouldn't matter if you wanted to stop them or not.
I only had one more way to confirm if my lightning could defuse your earth bombs.

Deidara: Ah...

Sasuke: Yes...my katana.
I wasn't checking to see if a mine was THERE or not...

To confirm my theory, I charged my katana with Chidori and punctured one of your mines.
SFX: Bzzrt

Deidara: HOW?! HOW?!
How could POSSIBLY have figured out where the mines were?!

Sasuke: I already told you...didn't I?
My eyes give color to charka.

Side: The battle is lost...all because he stood against those "eyes"!
Bottom: Sasuke vs. Deidara, the Finale! Next time: "Final Explosion!"
