I didn't really like this chapter because it's hard to see what's happening; can't wait to see this animated (so it makes a lot more sense).

Anyway, at Deidara's self-destruction, I hope Kishimoto doesn't resort to something like that. First, Sasori turns his own body into a puppet, and then Orochimaru turns himself into a snake...it would be very uncreative if he was resorted to that.
