this is all Akasuna no Sasori. Enjoy


"YOU SON OF A BITCH! Where the hell do you think you're sitting!" The red eyed boy cussed.

"There's no mistaking it. He's the Jinchuuriki. un. The first thing he'll do is scream and charge at you. Itachi described him quite accurately. yeah."

"Gaara how can you be asleep at a time like this!... STAND UP!... Gaara!"

The silver and pink haired ninjas looked at the lost boy. He really had no idea, or was just to thick headed.

"Hey Gaara, are you listening? Stop it already!"

"Enough Naruto..."

I almost feel sorry for the boy. Almost.

"...You should already know."

"That's right you get it don't you? He's been dead for a while. yeah."

Deidara taunted the poor boy, throwing him over the edge. His chakra spiked tremendously.

"Give him back! GIVE GAARA BACK YOU BASTARDS!"

The taller one jumped in front of the charging blond boy. Smart man.

"Calm down. If you charge in without thinking, we're all dead."

Very smart man. Chiyo, the years hasn't treated her very nicely at all. Crazy old lady. I looked over at Deidara.

"What's wrong Sasori no Danna?"

"I'll take him. It seems that the Jinchuuriki wants to take him back."

"Looks like it... Danna, you might be pissed at me for saying this, but.. I'm going to fight the Jinchuuriki. un"

"Hm. Each of us gets our own. Don't get cocky Deidara."

"With art, you have to search for greater and greater stimulation, or your appreciation for it will dull. I've heard rumours that the Kyuubi, Jinchuuriki is pretty powerful. un. He'll be perfect for my art."

"What? You call those explosions 'art'? Art is something that endures the test of time beautifully and gracefully. True art is eternal beauty!"

"Eternal beauty? Danna I respect you as a fellow artist, but art is something that blossoms for an instant before withering away. un."

"What did you say?... Deidara apparently you don't understand what true art is."

"That would be you Danna."

"You bastards!" The Jinchuuriki tried to interrupt.

"Eternal beauty is the only true art!"

"That's absurd! Art is beauty that only lasts a moment!"

"Stop screwing with us!"

The blond pulled out a scroll and a large shuriken emerged, he grabbed it and charged. What a reckless boy. So naive. So much like Kawako. My tail blocked the large weapon thrown at me.

"Are you trying to piss me off?" I ignored the enraged boy.

"That's why I said that this would probably piss you off!"

"You should know what happens when I'm angry..." I pointed the poison dripping tail at him. "What do you say, Deidara?"

He stood up.

"Hm. To me the essence of beauty is... explosions!"

He threw his clay bird in the air, with a hand sign the bird enlarged. The bird began to eat the dead boy on the ground.

"It's completely different from your silly puppet shows."

My tail flew at the man but him an the bird jumped up and out of the way in the nick of time.

"Later Danna!"

Freaking Deidara acting by himself! The Kyuubi Jinchuuriki ran after the flying blond man, who doesn't know true art. He's having to much fun messing with the boy. Deidara don't go killing yourself. I sighed as I looked to my two enemies.

"I thought you retired a long time ago?"

"I had a sudden urge to see my grandson's face."

I looked at the pink girl. There is no chance she is even close to my strength. She needs another 100 years before she could be at my level.

"Sakura, don't be frightened. I'll fight him. You stay back."

She pulled a string of kunai from her sleeves.

"Sou Shuu Jin!"

The kunai flew toward me at an alarming speed. My tail blocked them, well most, a couple tore through my cloak. What trouble.

"If your going to oppose me, then I have no choice."

I finished tearing off the rest of the cloak, revealing all of Hiruko.

"Will you become part of my collection along with that brat, Grandma Chiyo"

The girl looked terrified, but not as terrified as she truly should be.

"Wh-what is that?"

"That isn't Sasori's true form."

"If that's true then I see where you're getting at."

"Correct. That is a puppet."

"But then where is his real body? A puppet master usually pulls the strings from behind."

Like I said, 100 years behind.

"His real body is inside."

"Inside?"

"Puppet masters are poor at close range fighting. It's easy to leave openings while controlling the puppet. In other words that puppet is a way around that. The puppet becomes their armor as well as their weapon. That is Sasori's 18th puppet Hiruko."

"Grandma Chiyo, you recognize it?"

"Mmm, I know it well."

I rattled my tail, frustrated on how long these two are making me wait.

"Do you know how I add to my collection. First I tear out the organs.." I took a step forward. ".. After I washed it all clean I drain it of all it's blood. After I've made sure it won't decay, I fill it with weapons and traps and make it's addition official. Just as Grandma said, Hiruko is part of my collection. And with you and Grandma Chiyo, I will have exactly 300 puppets in my collection! This is my art."

"Art huh?"

"Elder Chiyo?"

"When he was in the Sand Village, he created many impressive puppets, and was widely regarded as a genius. But his real interests lay in turning humans into puppets and collecting them. He claimed that it was 'art'. That puppet Hiruko... was once a ninja of out village. Sasori turned him into that. Puppets that maintained their original form are called human puppets."

"Human puppets.."

"And your next. You will become one of my works."

"Hiruko is a battle type puppet. But regardless we have to remove it from Sasori."

"What should we do?"

"His additions to the puppet are the most dangerous part. as long as we don't know what he's done to it, we cant tell where or how he'll attack."

"But you know how that puppet works. We have the advantage."

"That is why I said I was going to go by myself at first."

"At first?"

"But now I don't think that will work."

"What do you mean?"

"It's form is a bit different from the Hiruko I knew. It never had such a large shell on it's back. So the defences have probably increased. And this is he first time I've seen that left arm. In which case he might have switched the most important weapons as well."

"What should we do?"

These two are getting on my nerves.

"In order to defeat Sasori we have to destroy Hiruko first. Unfortunately I don't have the physical strength to smash it. But you do Sakura. You have the Princess Tsunade's infamous.. brute strength."

At this point I could no longer hear their words. Hm. What are they planning?

"Lets give it a shot!"

"You ready yet? You know I hate to wait."

"Relax, Soon, we'll defeat you!"

I ripped off my bandanna, My mouth opened and a barrage of needles came spitting out. They both twirled, ducked, jumped and ran dodging every single one. Soon enough the ground was layered with needles.

"You saw through it. All right then."

I dislocated my left arm sending it off toward them.

"Die!"

The knobs blew out splitting open sending a larger shower of needles at them. Once again the flawlessly saw through my attack. It is expected from Grandma Chiyo, but the kid too? Why? Grandma Chiyo has stopped moving.. Now she's charging in head first. She's underestimating me. I blocked the kunai being sent at me and charged my tail directly at her. What? She froze millimetres away from the tip. It won't move.

"Now I see! Grandma!"

"Now Sakura!"

Her fist umped up.

"Crush it! Right!"

SMASH

I jumped from the crumbling puppet I once laid in.

"So you finally came out."

"That's his real body?"

"I've come all this way to see my little grandson's face. It's been about 20 years since I've seen you.

I sent the last of the needles in the head of the broken puppet, Grandma moved her arms quickly sending Sakura out of the way. Hn.

"Just as I thought. Just what I'd expect from my Grandma. No wonder that girl dodged my attacks so easily. She had you who could see right through them, controlling her with chakra strings. And on top of that you secretly put some on Hiruko's tail. But for me to not to noticed until I was unable to move the tail, you must have done it when you first attacked with those kunai. You transferred the chakra strings that attached the kunai to the tail when I blocked them."

"Impressive, considering I suppressed the chakra flow to the point of making the strings invisibile."

"It wasn't hard."

I turned around, I still had the black cloak over myself.

"After all, you were the one who taught me to play with puppets."

I put my hand and grasped the cloth over my face.

"But the games come to an end today!"

"That's the plan."

I pulled the cloth from my head. The look on her face was such shock the old bag looked like she could of had a heart attack. Even the girl gasped.

"But honestly, do you think it'll be that simple, Grandma Chiyo."

"Elder Chiyo! He's... He's Sasori?"

"What's the meaning of this? He's the same, he hasn't aged a day."

"What's wrong Grandma Chiyo? Are you so chocked up you can't even speak?"

Satisfaction filled my wooden fibres. It was priceless to seem my Grandmothers face in such shock. She continued to stare in shock, eyes wide, mouth agape.

"It's okay. It's our first reunion in twenty years."

"Sasori, you..."

"Want to see what else I've got up my sleeve?"

A scroll fell from my sleeve in my hand. My favourite puppet in my hand.

"This might be even more shocking."

I lifted the scroll up and slowly unravelled it.

"He was one of the hardest to kill and add to my collection."

"Three?" The girl questioned.

"But that what makes him my favourite."

I put chakra into the scroll and a large amount of smoke appeared as the puppet.

"Th.. that's.. It can't be!"

"What? What's wrong?"

The girls scattered confusing put more satisfaction inside of me. The large puppet hovered in front of me. Black spiky shoulder length hair with a small ponytail in the back, small pink and orange eyes.

"That's the Third Kazekage!"

He wore a large cloak, with fur around the hood.

"The Third Kazekage?"

"Well. Does this take you back Grandma Chiyo?"

"Elder Chiyo, how could the Third Kazekage?.."

"How terrible..."

"Then.."

"It happened twenty years ago. The Third Kazekage suddenly vanished. We did everything we could, but we were never able to find him. He was the most powerful Kazekage in history, but... Sasori, you did it?.."

"So what? You're telling me, a retired old hag about to keel over is going to avenge him? How admirable."

"Even if I'm retired and about to die. I just have to remember the past. I have to many regrets to die just yet. Especially when I see my grandson has become a villain! You betray the village and have attacked the three Kazekage."

"Three?"

Stupid old hag.

"I know Orochimaru may have killed Gaara's father. But I know your companions were behind it! And now Gaara."

"Easy. I don't know anything about the Fourth. I only have control over my own subordinates."

"Given as he did the exact same thing as you, though.. How can you say that is unrelated?"

"It is true that Orochimaru was my original Akatsuki partner, and we accomplished a lot together."

The look in the girls eyes was indescribable. I take it she has met the snake himself.

"You.. If you worked with Orochimaru then you must know all about him? I have a lot of questions for you."

Hatred was on her face clearly.

"Sorry, kid."

Last time I let a girl get answers out of me, I lost my whole sense of being a puppet. I was in a fight stance, the Kazekage behind me. My stomach tightened as images of the blue eyed girl went through my mind.

"I have to finish off you two and catch that Jinchuuriki. I hate to keep people waiting. I don't have time to answer questions. Now let's do this."

I sent the Kazekage after the girl.

"Die!"
