Like I said, C4 is literally the only thing in Deidara's arsenal that could reliably stop Kisame. As for thousand hungry sharks, sure Deidara can fly away but that does nothing to help him win the fight. When he comes back, he will be in exactly the same situation as before. In my opinion Kisame has the jutsu versatility and chakra reserves to either outlast Deidara or close the gap.
