@Senjutsu Depends on the Naruto you're talking about lmao

Deidara is outclassed heavily by Pain. In order to get a sneak attack in, Deidara has to avoid being seen by the other 5 paths of Pain. Jiraiya threw a giant shuriken at the Asura path and Asura dodged it perfectly, and a giant shuriken would be faster than the claybombs Deidara throws. Also, Animal path would just summon spam to overwhelm Deidara. And Deidara can't do much against Chaotic Shinra Tensei and Chibaku Tensei. The only attack considering is C0, but that includes Deidara killing himself, and I doubt Pain would watch Deidara rip open the mouth on his chest, feed it clay, and then watch his entire transformation before intervening.

@Frwt To be honest, your plan requires a lot of things go Ohnoki's way as opposed to what Pain could do to Ohnoki. Pain's measures of defeating Ohnoki is much simpler, and we don't know much about Ohnoki's chakra supply, but if Preta keeps absorbing stuff and the Animal path summon spams, Ohnoki would get worn down pretty quickly.

Also, Hidan weaker than White Zetsu? lol Rip.
