I've just watched 6 episodes in one go, with lotsa skipping in between. Nothing much has happened, except for this episode where Sasori gets unmasked.

Kraco, I doubt a kunai would be enough to bring down Deidara. The sharingan Kakashi has is no where as capable of Sasuke's, which had the ability to predict and evade offensive moves. And even if can, it's more for evasive and not for compensating Deidara's evasive actions. Either way, we're talking about an Akatsuki member so it's not going to be that simple.

Guess I'm going to wait for another 6 or 7 episodes before watching again.
