Sasori sighed as he approached kahona. He was still looking for an apprentice and with Sanu banning the art of human puppets there was slim chance there. Now many would question why he wanted an apprentice. The answer was simple. He didn't want art (or his art) to die out. What he wanted was someone to surpass him so they may tell the world of his art. Since kahona and sanu had an alliance so this was a nice place to start. "Hey hold on buddy what are you her for?" Said one of the gate guardians. "I'm from sanu I'm sasori of the red sands I'm looking for an apprentice." He knew he was taking a risk but these guy's screamed lazy but he had a back-up plan if - "alright buddy just don't start any trouble ." Okay he didn't think it would actually work. "Thank you." Hey he wasn't going look a gift horse in the mouth. With a devious smile he walked in 'It' time to find my apprentice."

No one caught sasori's attention and those who did wanted nothing to do with puppetry. He had wasted time coming here was a waste of time. It infuriated him that no one could see art. How was he going to find an apprentice at this rate? Kami dammit was his apprentice going to just run into him? "WATCH OUT!" He heard someone scream right before some kid ran into him. Normally this wouldn't knock him to the ground but with the angle the kid ran at him along with how short he was hitting him in the right spot. Well it knock him flat on his ass infuriating him even more.

"Watch it kid didn't your parents teach you manners?" Sasori then got a good look at the kid. He had blonde hair with red tips, blue eyes, three whisker marks on each cheek, a with short sleeve shirt, black shorts, he was (as previously said) surprising short for his age. "I'm sorry I don't have any parents." The kid said look down in sadness. Sasori then felt a little bad. He knew what it was like to loss parents but this kid said he didn't' have any. At least he had ciyo-baa-chan to raise him. "Do you have anyone to raise you? Orphanage? Grandparents?" He could see a little of himself in this kid... wait he wished an apprentice ran into... before the kid could answer he looked at the sky and thought 'Kami I know I haven't been the best person but you just granted my wish I will now believe you with all my heart as the one true God'

meanwhile with a certain priest

"Achoo holy shit I can still sneeze."

Back with sasori and the kid the kid finally answered his question. " the orphanage kicked me out and I don't have anyone butt jijj." Sasori stared at this kid other than the orphanage part he sounded like a young him. "Who's your jiji?"Sasori asked would like to ask if he could train this kid but first he needed the permission (and if they said no he still would) the kid pointed to the homage tower... oh this might be a problem. Actually thinking about it wouldn't the hokage grandchild be extremely guarded so this kid was probably just really close to him to call him that.

Or he just had balls of steel

"Hey kid do you wanted to be a ninja?" The second he said that th kid ha stars in his eyes. " YES I WOULD! AT YOU A NINJA?CAN YOU TRAIN ME? HOW DO YOU FIGHT?WILL I KNKW COOL JUTSU? CAN-"sasori than interrupted " wo wo calm down yes just stop shouting just one question. Do you like puppets?"

The kid than looks at him like he'd grown a second head. "Like toy's cause I'm cool with toy's?

Good enough for him

[ 6 months later]

Sasori was proud of his apprentice. In six months he had found he had not only a desire to learn but enormous chakra levels. He had control I've them and we now using chakra strings.

On a separate note he had finally got home to STOP CALLING ART TOY'S

And soon he was going to finish his first original puppet. He had bought a large amount of weapons and told him go nuts but not to use them all on one puppet. That was a two weeks ago an he was going to check his apprentice all his student had asked for a high favor and he felt he had earned it. Walk in into his apartment building and to his room he was shocked by what he saw. Seven puppets.

The first had six arms each with a scimitar in each hand. Stood as tall as sasori, and had a crown on its head, the rest of it's body hidden by a yellow robes, it's face had a neutral expression and it's eye's were hallow.

The second on looked like Naruto with Fox features, it had yellow Fox ears and a tail, claws for hands, slited red eyes, holes in his hands (no doubt senbon launchers), his mouth had enlarged canines, and his whisker marks were defined even more.

The third one was an exact copy of the kyuubi ( a smaller version) at the end of it's tails had holes in them, it was as tall as a horse, at the sides of it's mouth looked like small flamethrower's, an it's claws were sharpened and polished.

As he was about to get a good look at the fourth puppet it was sealed in a scroll along with the others except the ones he's already seen.

"Sasori-sensei I didn't hear you come in. Anyway what do you think of my puppets? The others still have flaws but these are fine. But I can tell you what I'm goin for in design and some of the weaponry. The one you were about to see was supposed to look look like a chunin with a katana and hidden kunai launchers however the launchers keep locking up and I can't get the face right. The next was supposed to be a scorpion but the tail won't stay on. The next was supposed to look like a mixture of a spider and human however the legs kept getting tangled and the flamethrower in his mouth kept malfunttioning. The final puppet was supposed to be a siren with a staff with a harp on top but this one just wouldn't stay together also the poison fog in her chest won't stay in. However I want you to meet koloktos, Fox me, and mini kyuubi."

...

Sasori was shocked. His apprentice had already created three new puppets with four on the way with slight defects. He was proud to say that he would train the next user of human puppets. By first there was something he had to say first.

"Naruto I found out your parents like you asked and let me say I almost screamed when I found out." That caught the blond' s attention and he had the look of tell me written on his face so hard you'd have to be blind to see.

Luckily sasori still had sight.

"Your mother was kushina uzumaki the red death and your father was..."

Author note

Cliffhanger. I know what your thinking. "What but he posted two things yesterday how has he just posted this"
