Very interesting match up, depends on whether or not Konan is in an area with more hidden tags like she was against Tobi. I'm going to actually not post here, I'm not sure if Konan while in her "paper form" can be crushed by sand or if her only weakness is fire release. Very nice match up and thread, plus rep.
EDIT: To clarify, Konan's attacks are less versatile than Deidara's, she can't use the same methods Dei-Dei did to get past Gaara's sand. Also the ten minute explosion, while strong, most likely wouldn't break through Gaara's strong sand while it defends him.
