Deidara uses the mouths in his palms to prepare clay for his explosion
release. How did he get these mouths? Was he born with them or did he acquire
them some other way?

How did Deidara get mouths in the palms of his hands?


The first thing to say is that he was not simply born with them, after he lost
both arms fighting gaara and then naruto and kakashi, he had replacement arms
grafted on and the donor arms also had the mouths. [Naruto
wikia](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Narutopedia) has this to say on the
subject:

> Deidara also possessed special mouths in the palms of his hands and on the
> left side of his chest as a result of stealing and using a powerful kinjutsu
> from his village on himself. Deidara was forced to leave Iwagakure when he
> stole a kinjutsu to develop his passion for art.

Somewhat contrary to the other two answers, it is actually unknown how Deidara
got the mouths in his hands, as it is not revealed in canon.

The [Wikia](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Iwagakure_Kinjutsu) does mention the
hands in their Iwagakure Kinjutsu article, however it's important to note that
the part talking about the hands is merely speculative.

Quote from Wikia (emphasis my own):

> It is **likely** that the mouths on the user's palms and chest are the
> result of using this technique

The technique he stole from Iwagakure is talked about in the third databook:

In this Data Book article, it mentions the technique that he steals from
Iwagakure is the ability to fold his chakra into clay. It can be guessed at
that this is where the hands come from, but it's possible that he got the
hands elsewhere and can merely use that ability through those mouths.
