Meanwhile back in Konoha...
Mebuki and Kizashi Haruno just arrival back home after go out of Konoha from a long over due vacation. One where they could not have possibly have known just what was going within the elemental countries currently. That being mostly because they were at secluded location where getting the news was extremely slow. This was mostly by design really as the it was spot where you went to just kick back, relax, and let all your worries take a backseat for the moment.
When the two Harunos arrived at their front door they found Hanabi standing there seemingly waiting for them.
"Hi Mr. and Mrs. Haruno" she greeted them with a large smile.
"Hey there Hanabi how are you doing" Mebuki said hugging the young Hyuga.
As for why Hanabi even knew the two of them well it was rather long story but one that ended with the younger Hyuga heiress looking up to Mebuki as motherly figure. One she often came to visit from time to time just hang out around Sakura's parents. Ironically it was mostly when Sakura was not around and her parents never really talked about their time with Hanabi so the two of them never really cross path.
"Tsunade has something to tell you Mr. Haruno" Hanabi informed him.
"Really then why has not anyone come to use yet" he replied.
To this Hanabi just shrugged as he then walked off to the Hokage Office to see what Tsunade had to tell him. Mebuki was about to follow after her husband after Hanabi helped her bring their stuff inside the house.
"There somewhere else that you are need, Mrs. Haruno" she told her as pulled her off in the direction that was away for their Hokage's office.
"Why are we traveling into the forest like this? What could possibly be out here for me?" Sakura's mother asked curiously.
"Oh it something that you will really get a kick out of considering what day is today" the Hyuga said as she continued to push the older dark blonde towards a unknown destination of which only she seem to know.
Arriving at a house in the woods she was invited in by a pale skinned girl that roughly Sakura's age probably a only a year or so older then her daughter.
"Greeting Hanabi has informed you of the something being here just for you I am sure" she said Mebuki merely nodded and followed after her.
"Here we are as this is what you are being giving" the teenager said motioning to rather large box in the center of living room like area.
"Now just sit right here as I will hand you the first piece of it okay" Hanabi told her.
Doing as she was told she sat down and then cocked her head to the side as she was giving a pair of wooden feet.
"Okay what's with the puppet's feet" she asked.
"You will see when we are finished, Mrs. Haruno" the young Heiress told her.
Slowly but surely wooden body part after wooden part was hand to her as she informed how to connect them all together piece by piece. That was until she was hand the head of this life size puppet girl.
"What the hell!" Mebuki yelled jumped back as she stood up abruptly causing her chair to forced slide along the floor as the piece in question hit the ground with thump but still roll over to where she stood. Looking down the older Haruno found a familiar pair of green eyes staring blankly up at her.
"What is the meaning of this! Why is there a life size puppet of Sakura here! Not only that why did you have my put this thing together piece by piece. Does Sakura even know this replica of her even exist?" her mother asked
Looking at it now this puppet's body it was far too detail to be something that was done without a lot of knowledge about her child.
"This is no replica, Mrs. Haruno. This is Sakura Haruno, your daughter. Here you go as you dropped her head" Hanabi told her
Picking up and dropping her pink hair head into her arms. However it just fell to the floor once again as Mebuki let it slip through her hands.
"Hanabi this is not funny as this is not my daughter" she told her.
"You must be more careful with your daughter as see there your dropping her head like this cause some dirt to get on her forehead" the girl said wiping it off before handing it back to her again "Please be more careful this is your daughter's head after all"
"Okay Hanabi this is not funny any more as you are really starting to scare me" Mebuki told her wondering why she would drop this nonsense about this puppet being her daugther.
That was until she heard a voice that cause the color to drain from her face leaving her looking rather pale.
*She is not playing mother this is my head. Please be more careful with it* Sakura said as her mother yelled loudly dropping it anyway.
*Mother you were told not to drop my head* wooden teenager's head told her as her body began moving towards where her head was located.
"Yeah Mrs. Haruno you need to be more careful with your it just because it solid wood does not it can not be damage" Hanabi piped in lively…a little too lively thus making kind of creepy.
"There something serious wrong with you Hanabi. Come on we need to get out here. The hokage needs to know about this and your strange behavior as well" Mebuki told her.
"We are not going anywhere. Why do not you like your Mother's day gift as Sasori-sama went through a loud to set this up just for you" the Hyuga told her.
*Yes mother this was all set up my owner. He wanted to show off my body to you as like this I be persevered. My skills and abilities will never waver because of age and I am far more resilient as well able to recover from damage that would have been fatal to my human self* Sakura told her as she then punch a hole where her heart was suppose to be.
Her mother on instinct yell out for her to stop but could not in time as there was now a hole where her heart should be.
Grabbing the chunk of herself she punched out with one hand and her mother's with the other. She forced one arm through the hole and place her 'heart' in the other.
*See I am perfectly fine as something like that is nothing to me now* Sakura told her.
"This Sasori...this is all his doing he must be somewhere near by making you say these words as you can not possibly mean this" Mebuki exclaimed.
This was true as Sakura did not mean anything that she was 'saying' at the moment. This was all what she was pre-programmed to say by Sasori. After all she was just a human puppet moving and acting at the whim of her owner. His will, his thoughts, his desire for his kunoichis were the only things that could come out their mouths in their current state of existence.
"Now for the second part of your Mother's Day present. Are you getting excited for, Mrs. Haruno" Hanabi exclaimed.
"What have you done to her and my daughter, monster" the elder Haruno asked as her flesh and blood was no longer either and the girl she saw like a daughter was apparently brainwashed.
*Now that rude as Sasori-sama has decide to give you the same gift that he has given me, mother* Sakura said.
Mebuki then tried to make dash for the door as she chose flight when her mind posed the question of fight or flight.
"Oh no you do not no running away from your gift" Hanabi told as she moved in front of Mebuki activating her Mangekyou Byakugan.
With this activate she was not only able to see all her charka point but control them to make her body do as she wanted as she struck them. Thus Mebuki was unable to resist as her body moved and walked right into her wooden daughter's hands.
*Sasori-sama decide it would be wrong to have me in his collection without you in it as well. Thus he decided that we will be together and what better time to do that then Mother's Day* Sakura said.
Mebuki want to speak but another quick strike to her throat by Hanabi cause the different words then she would have wanted from leaving them.
Why of course I love join you as part of Sasori-sama's collection. This the best Mother's Day ever Mebuki said as result of Hanabi's strikes.
Being lead off Hanabi was then attacked by Yakumo who roughed her up good and she left her home to where she was later found on the completely other side of Konoha. The reason for something like this happening well it turns out this was all part of Sasori's plan as this entire time Hanabi was not herself just like Mebuki thought. This was yet another one of the feature of being one of Sasori's sleeper agent. Hanabi was under his complete control but rather then speaking in acting in monotone fashion. She was acting like her normal self but following her orders given by her master. When she was release and returned to normal her own memories were those she was made to have. Them being that she was with Mebuki until they were attacked and she tried to defend Sakura's mom but the attacker overpower her and she barely got away with her life. This was plan worked even when examined because Yakumo cast a genjustu that made the memories real for Hanabi.
As for Mebuki Haruno….
When Sasori returned after his outing, he was greeted by Sakura's mother who had been fully converted into human puppet by her own daughter's wooden hands.
*I am very honored that you allow me to become part of your collection so that I may be with my daughter. Please make good use of me Sasori-sama as I am yours* the wooden Mebuki said as stood with her arm around Sakura.
*Thank you for giving my mother the honor of being part of this collection as now she does not have to worry about me anymore as we are together again* Sakura told him.
Sasori in his own mind really did believe that this is what the two of them thought of what he has done to them as once again this was case of his Sasori's sense in full swing.
