--Deidara-

Deidara (デイダラ, Deidara?) is a missing-nin from Iwagakure. Before joining Akatsuki, Deidara acted as a terrorist bomber for hire, where his work attracted the attention of Pain.[3] Pain sent other Akatsuki members to recruit Deidara, though he refused.[3] After being defeated by Uchiha Itachi, however, Deidara was forced to join the organization. Deidara maintained a deep loathing for Itachi from that point further and became determined to defeat him, even training one of his eyes to overcome Itachi's signature ability: genjutsu.[51] Deidara was partnered with Sasori upon joining the organization, whose artistic ability and insight Deidara admired.[52] After Sasori's death Deidara is paired with Tobi whom he treats as a disciple. Despite Tobi's habit of accidentally angering Deidara, Deidara takes great care to keep Tobi out of harm's way and even dedicates his final moments to apologizing to him.[53][54]
