I don't know. I only know that Sasuke defused the bombs with lightning based on his observation that Deidara uses Doton hand seals.

If Deidara used the Doton for the clay, it wouldn't matter if Sasuke had used lightning or not, because the explosive chakra would've still exploded.

Also, he used lightning to defuse the explosion. The clay isn't what explodes, it's the chakra in it.

Or do you think the Doton hand seal and the explosive chakra have nothing to do with each other? Then why Sasuke's observation on how lightning counters earth?
