He took the whole episode to AIM for Deidera and missed his vital spots because he's flying around. Deidara was standing still when he exploded, so it makes it easier.
Possibly, Deidara made a replacement way back before. On second thought, 1 handed jutsus are possible (Haku) and we know that Deidara is more of a item-user rather than a jutsu-user.

The reason Kakashi got Deidara at first with his MS was because Deidara had no clue about what was going on or what he should do...after the 1st attack, he had some clue that something was sucking his body in so he started moving.

Why is it so hard to believe that Sharingan can perform dou jutsus other than illusions and genjutus? As someone said before, Itachi's black flame was a non-genjutsu dou jutsu. It is one of the strongest moves we've seen in the series so far. It can distort dimensions and seriously mess up people mentally if you look into the eye. This is why the bloodline eye clans were so secretly guarded and powerful in status and strength. Thus, I can see why it is so overpowered

And as someone else mentioned about Gai team unable to take out Deidara with a single kunai in his mouth, I believe that part is really unrealistic too. Gai, no even Lee himself should be able to beat down Deidara with brute taijutsu when he doesnt have any arms. Speed-wise, I am sure Lee is faster too.

Even though Naruto bitched at Chiyo which I agree is disrespectful, Naruto does have some truth in his speech because Chiyo and the sand shinobis of her generation did cause alot of trouble to Gaara by placing the monster inside of him.
