Naruto Vol. 40 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

The climax of this volume is Deidara's C0—turning his own life into an explosive with the Detonating Clay eye. Realizing he cannot beat Sasuke, Deidara feeds enormous clay through the mouth in his chest to transform himself into a colossal bomb, aiming to take Sasuke down with a self-detonation that levels a ten-kilometer radius. But Sasuke, drawing on the power gained from absorbing Orochimaru, manifests the giant guardian Susanoo for the first time and completely shields himself, surviving the blast. Deidara vanishes screaming that this is true art, and Sasuke takes his final step toward the ultimate showdown with Itachi.
