Okay i'll try to not post a wall lol.Hmm, how so? He is capable of pumping chakra into a clay enough to have enough destructive force to blow up a whole village. He can fill a large ass clay shape of himself with his chakra containing millions and millions of tiny bombs and then later still have enough chakra to pump into C0 with his heart that created a 10km explosion radius. C4 must have taken a pretty big amount of chakra to create given the large ass chakra sphere that exited it.
He seems to have pretty big chakra reserves. I don't specifically see how he's gonna need chakra if he's not gonna be spamming C3 or C4 which he shouldn't do.
Pretty much what I meant.
The mine camp was set up by Tobi because he had the luxury of having a partner and not having to do so himself. If needed, Deidara can ''create'' that partner by forming a simple Clay Clone of himself and have it use his Doton jutsu to place mines around the field like Tobi did. Sasuke had trouble keeping up with C2 projectiles alone. Combine that with a coordinated attack of C2 and C1 like he did against Gaara with only C1, he should be more than capable of keeping on getting kills against Danzo. Don't really see how Fuuton helps as it can't specifically cover all sides at once, giving Deidara an opening to deliver his other bomb in.
If you want a big AoE attack then Deidara molds a shape of clay that has extra pair of wings, making his bomb faster like he did canonically. Or in the case of C2 Dragon, he can use up two or three section of his tail to make a large bomb that wouldn't give Danzo the chance to escape from the AoE. Like when Sasuke had to defend himself with a wing instead of having the chance to fly away. He can always drop the whole C2 Dragon if he wants and just keep re-making it, but that's pretty needless.
Aight.
A simple counter would be a Clay Clone, no? He's tricked a lot of Dojutsu users, ranging from two Sharingan users to a Byakugan user, with Clay Clones. The whole scenario in which Sasuke tried to strike Deidara with a Chidori is replicated.
1- Okay you named Deidara's stamina feats. You yourself stated those were big and chakra taxing atacks. No way he can keep doing them to outlast Izanagi. You say he shouldn't spam them to beat Danzo but that's really his only choice. He can't take danzo not even once with just c2 and c1. c3 and c4 are chakra taxing.
2- Ok
3- If deidara makes the clone and sends it to put the mines the surprise element is lost. Danzo would already know a clone of deidara is underground. He obviously makes a counter to take out the clone or he could just simply aavoid touching the ground as he did against sasuke (too lazy to look for scans, Danzo used a fuuton technique to take momentum and "fly"). The latter is not as effective as the former, Danzo would probably pick to destroy the ground. And sasuke dodged C2 in base, he needed to go CM just because of the mines which are not happening here, and Danzo is as fast as base sasuke. So C2 is not giving him trouble, and Deidara can't throw bombs from all directions as you say, because that would require more clones and more bomb, outlasting Danzo with that would be even more chakra taxing than c3 or c4. So fuuton is a good counter since Deidara is not atacking from "all directions" so Danzo's fuuton doesn't need to cover aa big area, just the one were the bombs are coming from.
C2 dragon can take danzo out i'll concede on that, but not enough times to outlast Izanagi.
