Deidara is a member of the Akatsuki and was the junior end of his partnership with Sasori. The jinchuuriki that was assigned for him to capture is the Shukaku, its host being the Fifth Kazekage. After the death of his partner, Deidara's been assigned to be the senior of his partner with Tobi. He has helped Tobi capture his assigned bijuu, the three-tailed demon.

In one of the later arcs Deidara fought Uchiha Sasuke, who he arrogantly challenged to a duel. After a long and lengthy struggle, where both fighters were pushed to their limits. He was driven to use his C4 ability, which Sasuke defeated with his Sharingan and Lightning Chakra. Frustrated and his sanity chipping away, Deidara was forced to use his ultimate technique, which took his own life.

Relationships
His artistic views are much different than Sasori. He believes in art being short-termed (as seen with his clay bombs), while Sasori believes art is long-lasting (his puppets). Although Deidara respects Sasori's beliefs, the same cannot be said for his partner.

Jutsu
Deidara's techniques revolves around the manipulation of clay into explosives. His most powerful "clay bomb" is the C12, which has enough destructive force to level an entire village. He can also create birds with his clay for transportation.
