Naruto talk: Deidara’s family
Ok so ive spent ALLLLLL DAY looking for this one post that set all this off but i CANNOT FIND IT ANYWHERE.
Tl:dr of the post was OP thought Deidaras last name was Namikazi and i am 10000% on board but it also made me think like, how did he wind up in iwa??? There was also another post about the akatsuki and how deidara just wanted to be appreciated for his damn art but  no one in iwa cared but i cant find that either????
So.SO
Headcanon time
Deidara is a lil war orphan. (like 99%of the akatsuki are orphans???)
One of his parents is an explosion release user from Kiri and one is from konohas Namikazi clan
Everyone in the Namikazi clan has blond hair and big blue eyes/ Nordic features which are all really rare among ninja in the land of fire.
Namikazi’s also have a propensity for Wind style chakra. Deidara has this too but was only ever trained to use his Explosion release.
Im not sure if his parents are both ninja but i think whoever had explosion release was at least Chunin .
Parent A with explosion release was declared a missing nin and killed while they and deidara were travelling forcing the remaining parent B to flee .
Unfortunately second parent B was killed at the start of the 3rd ninja war because it was discovered that they were a konoha nin living in Iwa leaving bby deidara wandering the streets alone.
At this stage he's like 3-5 years old .
He has no idea his last name is Namikazi. He knows his parents died but he didn’t actually watch them die ( unlike konan and nagato for example) so it was more like they just went away rather than being really traumatizing. Onoki , kurotsuchi and Kitsuchi are the only family he knows.
honestly doesnt really remember his parents at all.Â
While out surveying the damage Onoki and Kitsuchi find baby deidei wandering around in rubble possibly near dead parent B waiting for them to wake up.
Onoki and kitsuchi contemplated leaving deidara to the mercy of the war but Kitsuchi had just had Kurotsuchi and couldn’t stand to hear a little kid cry.
Kitsuchi brings deidara home like a stray puppy while his wife is giving him “theres a war on how we going to feed another child” face.
Deidara spends a lot of time with Onoki while Kitsuchi and his wife are out at war.
Kurotsuchi is like 2-4 and is happy to have a new sibling with pretty doll hair that she can totally mess up. This is why she calls him Big Brother Deidara.
His birthday isnt actually May 5th, thats just the day Kitsuchi found him.
Even though he's been adopted and thats a lot better than being completely orphaned and left on the streets like the ame trio things still aren’t great for deidara.
His new family are all Iwa born and bred. Iwa is a VERY militaristic place,just look at their shinobi’s attitude. Kurotsuchi is a daddies girl so she gets things better than him, gets away with a lot more than he does.
For Deidara his life is run like hes constantly at military boot camp.
Even from a young age deidara showed more intrest in art than fighting . this has always been a point of contention between him and Onoki/Kitsuchi. They frequently threw out or ruined deidaras art projects in an attempt to get him to serve the village more.
Deidara and Kurotsuchi were always the top of their class in Iwa Academy. Kitsuchi is secretly very proud of his powerful kekkai genkai children but he’d never tell them.
No matter what deidara did in ninjutsu he always tried to make it artistic
Baby deidara always had trouble controlling his explosion release ( because his wind chakra made things a little....volatile?) he’d blow things up by sneezing or smacking his hand down on something too fast.
When it was discovered deidara had explosion release he was instantly taken up by Onoki as his student because Iwa was one of the few nations who still held up Kekkai Genkai users as the best weapons of war the ninja world had to offer. Deidara wasn’t happy about this but he wasn’t given any say.
It was Kurotsuchis mom who suggested he mould his chakra into clay since it was a very stable material.
She didn’t discourage his artistic persuits like her husband but because iwa is so focused on war and fighting she couldn’t really encourage him either knowing he’d have to give it up at some point.
Literally no one in Iwa cares about art and if they do they tend to keep it to themselves
I cant help but feel if deidara had gotten praise from one person for his art and not being a weapon he wouldn’t have gone postal.
Now he's grown up he’s 99% of his own praise.
If someone had gotten to him before he got all egotistical and given him some praise he would latch onto them like a lamprey eel.
Deidara was only like 14 when he left the village. he’d had enough of everyone either ignoring him and his art or treating him like a Tool .
Kurotsuchi was about 12 and didnt really understand why he left ( even to this day) she asked kitsuchi a few times but he would usually just lie or paint deidara in a bad light so as to put kurotsuchi against the idea of looking for him/ against deidara himself.
I have SO many feels about Deidara. i only ment for this to be like 4 bullet points but woops.
anyway if anyone knows what post i was talking about at the top hmu so i can reblog and tag it and so on.
