Lion chakra wrote: Kisame wins against most that uses primarily Ninjutsu. He absorbs these techniques that is why Gai was the perfect person to stop him being a Taijustu specialist. Deidara could only win if he did not have Samehada. Yeah, but nearly all the ninja who battled Kisame and whose chakra he absorbed with Same were close or mid-range combatants. Deidara is not so stupid too engage in a close combat with his chakra being absorbed. In fact, he's actually a long-rage combatant, and that's a real problem for Kisame. Samehada can't absorb chakra on distanse, it's not even clear if it can neutralise Deidara's clay explosions by absorbing them. But even if it can, it's not able to defend Kisame completely, especially if the clay dolls would attack from several directions. During this Deidara can safely float in the sky on his clay bird/C2 dragon.
