Background
Deidara was a missing-nin from Iwagakure. Before joining Akatsuki, Deidara acted as a terrorist bomber for hire, where he gained the attention of Pein. Pein sent other Itachi, Kisame, and Sasori to recruit him, but he refused. Itachi then challanged him with, if he lost he go free, but if he won, he must join Akatsuki. Thinking he had the upper hand, Deidara excepted, only to quicky fall prey to Itachi's Sharingan's genjutsu. Such an embarassing loss to his ego, Deidara joined Akatsuki, but he would carry a loathing for Itachi, and the Sharingan which he said "Where eyes that couldn't see his art,".

Rescue Gaara Arc
Deidara, when partnered with Sasori, traveled to Sunagakure to capture Gaara and extract the Shukaku from him. When they got inside the village, Deidara was greated by the Fifth Kazekage himself, and the two began to fight. Despite Gaara's power, he was bested by Deidara and was taken from the village. The two took their captive to the their hidout where they began the three day long jutsu to extract the tailed beast out of its host while Team 7, and Team Guy attempt their rescue operation. By the time they broke into the hidout, the jutsu was complete and Gaara was dead. Naruto enraged began to chase after Deidara with Kakashi following him, leaving Sasori to deal with Sakura and Chiyo.

In the chase, Deidara first tried to seperate Kakashi from him and Naruto by dropping explosives. When that failed, he simply went faster baiting Naruto. When Kakashi revealed his Mangekyo Sharingan, destroying Deidara's arms Naruto finally caught him, but only beat up a Clay Clone. When Team Guy appeared, Deidara reappeared and set off another larger explosion, before it was sent itno anyother dimension by Kakashi.
