1. He doesn't need to start in the air on his bird. I don't recall him starting off on his bird when he fought Gaara and Gaara was right in front of his face, and yet Deidara was able to take flight.
2. The only reason why you are fighting and trying to take away Deidara's accomplishment against Gaara is because you know it works against you. Deidara walked into Gaara's territory and singlehandedly took him down. Gaara's sand is not super fast but it's not super slow either and Gaara's sand has gotten faster since part 1. Deidara could easily launch some little creatures on the ground to grab Naruto from behind and explode just like with Kakashi's clone or even with Gaara. Stop underrating Deidara.
3. Implying that Deidara's bombs can't fly and follow Naruto? Do you even read the Gaara vs Deidara fight? He can create creatures that can also fly. You don't have to be close by and Deidara is know to be a long range fighter anyway, so your point is irrelevant.
1) deidara flew to gaara, so he had a bird already made and gaara's sand attacks aren't even fast relative to people like sasuke
2) That's irrelevant if deidara could barely get away from sasuke. Current Gaara's sand should be even faster than his beginning of part 2 sand, yet he can't catch jouki boy, split muu or madara in a desert despite those three fighting other people. Those little creatures aren't doing anything to naruto, they get sensed and dealt with by clones or just laughed at considering SM Naruto's durability.
3) Deidara's bombs can fly and follow naruto, but he obviously needs to be within a certain range to control them, else why risk being so close to the ground against sasuke?
1. While Naruto is "jumping into the clouds" <------lmao.. Deidara will be throwing clay bombs to slow down Naruto's momentum thus creating an opening to attack. How much time do you expect Naruto to have? Changing jumps? creating bunshins? He's in the middle of a fight dude with about 5 minutes. He doesn't have time to be jumping to the clouds and hiding in tress. Kage Bunshins will take up more energy and so will Odama Rasengans with clones. If that's the case then this makes it better for Deidara as when Naruto runs out of SM, his energy is all gone.
2. Summoning Ma and Pa would take time, which is time that he doesn't have, unless Ma and Pa is already with him? And SM Naruto could not fuse with Ma and Pa unless we are talking about "current SM Naruto" then that changes everything and I'm wasting my time with this debate. The op is not clear enough on which version so I will go with what I thought and say it's the Naruto that fought Pain.
1) Deidara could barely react to Hebi sasuke jumping at him, he's not going to do anything offensively while naruto does that. Even if he has something magically prepped, naruto plows right through it with a senpou oodama/ chou oodam rasengan killing the foolish deidara who tried to attack instead of dodge as well. Naruto has already shown the ability to do all of that without problems, he's not going to be hiding in trees, and it's not even going to take him any time at all since he's much faster than deidara who gets caught in gaara's sand.
2) Summoning ma and pa wouldn't take time if naruto is using senjutsu to summon them, that's the whole reason why ma is able to instantly summon pa, naruto and the gamatrio. And naruto has tons of time to summon them, deidara can't do jack to naruto if naruto plays defensively. SM Naruto could fuse with ma and pa the moment naruto became friends with kurama, so that's war arc SM NAruto.
Naruto doesn't have any knowledge either so I guess his shadow clones will get destroyed if they try to "rush in"
um, they won't get destroyed if they try to rush in since we know that C4 isn't even a threat until its armed and dispursed. They obliterate deidara while the naruto stays safe and sound away.
How does FRS destroy microscopic bombs that are floating in the air?
As I recall, Naruto can only create 3 shadow clone while in SM, plus the clones he has on the battle field which equates to about six so he cannot just simple create how many that he likes or he will run out of chakra.
FRS destroys microscopic bombs floating in the air via even smaller microscopic attacks....
Naruto can make 3 shadow clones if he has 2 gathering natural energy for him this was explicitly stated as the reason for his clone limit. When the clones are gone, naruto has no clone limit, he can make as many as he want proven by when he made tons of them transform into rocks and wait to ambush deva. Proven also by him using tajuu kagebunshin while fighting kurama.
Pain has better speed feats than Deidara??? Can you show me those speed feats, and I don't want to see reaction feats of the linked Rinnegan because that doesn't count. Show me legit speed feats of Pain showing speed feats greater than Deidara, which is declared a 4.5 in the databook. And I think you are taking that Naruto speedblitz and that Sasuke speedblitz out of proportion. The fact that Sasuke was closer to his opponent means that Deidara had the worse speedblitz out of the two. Asura path, as you said, was about 100 or so meters away, which gave him more distance to react but didn't. If Deidara had that same distance that Ashura path did, I doubt it would have ended the same way for Deidara.
If I'm 5 meters away from you and you don't notice that I'm about to stab you but you somehow react to it, then you have shown better reaction feats than someone who somehow was 200 meters away from a bus going 70 mpr and somehow dodged it in time.

the fact that deidara was getting blitzed by Sasuke while SM Naruto couldn't outright blitz the other paths.
Yeah, sasuke blitzing deidara while Naruto succeeding in blitzing the faster and much more reflexive pain from a much greater distance proves that Naruto would blitz deidara as well.
If this is current SM Naruto then I change my mind and he wins. If it is Pain arc SM Naruto then he loses mid-high diff.
