"What do you think is going to happen to the Sound Village with Orochimaru-sama and Kabuto-sama being dead and Sasuke-sama having deserted us just like he did with his original village?" one of the guards to the prison that also double as morgue for the Sound village asked.
"How such I know? Despite our losing our top three people in the village and it being in chaos, why are we this still here guarding this place? It's not like anything will happen to us if we leave," a second guard responded curiously.
"Idiot! Do you know what might happen if we leave? That nearly bi-polar jailer Karin might send someone after us if she learned that we have abandoned our posts! There are people that were loyal to Orochimaru without any alternative motives or just followed him because who he was," the first guard said.
"At least that crazed Jugo is not here anymore. He was transferred away from here shortly after Orochimaru-sama's and Kabuto-sama's death," the second guard said.
"That's too bad. I was really looking forward to killing him with my lovely Cherry Blossom and Butterfly here," Sasori sighed disappointed.
The guard did not have much a chance to do anything as Sakura was made punch a hole through the first guard's torso while Kamira Puppet drain the second guard until he was nothing but a chakraless husk without any fat reserves or calories.
"Oh well. At least the vast number of people stuck in the second level of the cursed seal and the others that Orochimaru kept here might provide a good fight," the red hair man said as he patted Sakura on her wooden cheek before spreading the blood that spatter on her face down to her chest.
He refrained from touching Kamira like Sakura, not because he did not want to, but because he could not at the moment. Simply touching her bare body would result in her draining his chakra so he simply patted her on her shoulder which was covered by the form fitting shirt he had her wear as the baggy clothing she wore before had really hid her lovely figure.
As for what Sasori was doing here, he was after the bodies of Team Dosu and the Sound Four (minus Tayuya who he learned was still alive) which was being stored here.
'It's a good thing that Konoha or Suna did not managed to get them,' Sasori thought. However they did it, the Sound Ninjas managed to recover their bodies after their death and store them here in this place.
The main reason that Sasori was after three of the four bodies of the Former Sound Four was because he wanted Kidomaru's abilities for his lovely Queen Bee who he had back at one of his nearby workshops writing down everything she knew with every detail she knew about the summon tattoos on her body. He had to get those just perfect for them to work after he converted her into human puppet.
The other reason he was here was because he wanted the bodies of the other two members (Sakon and Ukon counted as one for him) for their own various abilities and the Four Violet Flames Battle Encampment, which creates a box-like barrier around the area that the four them stood, causing anything that touches to burst into flames. A barrier like this would certainly be useful in containing Pain, Kisame, and maybe Tobi who he now knew was actually Madara Uchiha. He knew it would be useful against Pain and Kisame since it managed to keep the Third Hokage and a perfectly healthy Orochimaru inside while doing the same for people of Copycat ninja's level. Also to prevent barrier casters from being attacked and thus bringing down the barrier, the same barrier could be placed around casters. Thus with this getting of Konan, dealing with Pain and Kisame shouldn't be that hard, yet it also meant that he would need a replacement for his Trufffle, Butterfly, Fawn, and Queen Bee since the four of them would be the ones casting the barrier. Though Ino and Kamira were his second and third strongest kunoichi of his collection, when it came to raw power they could produce, Sasori warped logic came into play again as he thought that since the four them were close (Ino not as much as the other three) that they should be made to perform the barrier together. This idea was based using the same logic that caused him to go after Ino soon after he made Sakura into member of his new collection simply because she was Sakura's best friend.
That's where him acquiring the bodies of Dosu Kinuta, Kin Tsuchi, Zaku Abumi came into the picture. He wanted to add Kin Tsuchi to his collection giving her the abilities of Zaku. As for Dosu Kinuta, his charka was also going to be added to Kin though his main attack done with the help of the "Melody Arm" on his right forearm, which he used to generate sound for his attacks, would not be going to Kin but to someone else.
Sasori planned for Kin to be the replacement for Reiko and already had in mind the replacement for Ino while the two of them were performing the barrier jutsu.

"Hey! What the hell do you do you are doing here in Orochimaru-sama prison and where are you taking those bodies?" Karin yelled. This never happened before on her watch and she was sure that Orochimaru-sama would be rolling over in his grave if he knew how badly she was failing.
"Why are you still loyal to that dead man, girl?" Sasori asked. Kamira had been changed into a full body outfit complete with gloves that made so she could carry Team Dosu without draining them, while Sakura had the bodies of Sound Four (minus Tayuya).
"Orochimaru-sama had given me the task guarding this place and I will carry it out!" Karin told him as she had three second stage cursed seal people that been turned into her own personal attack dogs attack Sasori.
"Pointless these 'things'. They are too ugly and deformed to qualify anymore. People are only a challenge in numbers not as a trio," Sasori sighed.
Sakura was then made to carry all the Sound Four Bodies she had with her tail and with both arms grabbed two of the three heads of the 'attack dogs' and crushed them, while she head butted the third in the sternum so hard that her head pop out the other side and then her Iron Sand climb into the hole and blew them to bits, yet her head was dry as bone since her sand prevented it from getting drenched even more then it already was.
Karin turned to run but was stopped by Kamira who took off one of her gloves and rendered the red hair jailer unconscious from chakra loss.
'Looks like I hit the jackpot here. I did not expect to get two additions to my collection when I was only expect to find one,' Sasori thought as he tossed the unconscious Karin to Sakura who he then had throw over her shoulders.
Days later, Sasuke arrived at the prison with the thoughts of adding Karin to the team he was building up to take on his brother. He had to wait until about three months ago before he considered himself at hundred percent again. While the Sharingan may be powerful and allow those that possess it to copy and see through jutsu, it did nothing to speed up their ability to heal from injuries and Sasuke was banged up pretty bad after being flung like a bug into the forest and through a couple of trees during Orochimaru and Kabuto's last stand. When he discovered that she was gone, he was pissed off because he had an idea of who might have taken her, judging from the corpses that littered the jail.
