(Okay this whole things was heavily inspired by the song Freak on a leash I just picture Sasori Sakura, I like to writing things out by acting in character and I hope I have done the memory of Sasori justice, Also I do not own Naruto the show would have been canceled by now if I did)
Tsunade was scolding Naruto yet again for sneaking into the hospital and attacking Sasuke. "But I'm sure he knows where she is, he convinced her to leave somehow and try to destroy the village, so he must know where she is!" Naruto yelled at the dangerously short tempered Hokage. "Naruto…I don't think he even knows where she is, he managed to keep very quite during interrogations but he did talk a little and it didn't add up, also I'm getting more and more skeptical that is the reasons why she did what…looks like she did and became a run away," she explained with obvious difficulty. Naruto looked away as his face darkens with memory "you where not there, when she…when she left, some one named Sasuke had her convinced she had to leave, and what other reason could she have had, and her parents….some one from Hawk or some one who worked with Sasuke must have killed them I just don't think she could have done it," Naruto replied. Tsunade frowned and reached for her sake, every one in the village was feeling depressed. "I had…I had thought I managed to get team 7 back…" was all Naruto said leaving.
Sasuke looked at Kakashi, he couldn't hide what he was feeling from his old teacher. "I hope you feel that you have accomplished your goal," was all Kakashi said to him. Sasuke turned away from his sad gaze he would rather be taking Naruto brutal beating then this humble guilt. "I hadn't….she wasn't supposed to…" Sasuke said more to himself Kakashi trying to wrestle away this guilt he was supposed to have repressed long ago under Orochimaru. "And if you where still at large you would have to do this, kill her, kill me, destroy the ignorant villagers…" Kakashi explained calmly. Sasuke turned away from him, the Hidden Leaf had to pay for what they did to his clan…but this wasn't part of his plan.
Tsunade was taking another swig of sake wearing an unpleasant frown. She wouldn't even have the motivation to scold Naruto if the ANBU brought him back before her for attacking Sasuke again as she slumped her head against her desk. The door to her room burst open "Hokage there is an emergency!" She didn't even raise her head as she said "what ever Naruto has done I don't care right now." "No Hokage-sama there has been an explosion in the pigeon currier room!" the messenger said. "Wait?!" Tsunade said standing up walking towards the messenger intending on following him "are we under attack?" "We don't know, apparently there have been two other similar explosions in the village only moments before-" he did get to finish as a white clay bird flew into the window and exploded.
Sakura watched on as Sasori manipulated his Deidara puppet, she heard him thinking "well this isn't my stile of art but I cannot deny its effectiveness." After sending out dozens of bomb birds into the village he sent his ten controlled leaf shinobi at the scenes of the crimes to be the "invading" shinobi. Hopefully they will survive long enough to prove useful distractions. Sasori replaced Deidara back into his scroll and told Sakura to show him the way to Kakuzu's remains. They met no resistance as they walked through the village to the hospital. The village was in panic loyal shinobi had turned against each other, and the Hokage was hurt, no one noticed the odd crawling man and the woman in black. They went to the back of the hospital to avoid any of the staff who would be sure to notice the odd pair. The rear entrance was locked by heavy steal door. It gave from the first punch Sakura throw at it. She quickly lead Sasori through the empty halls, the staff was busy with the wounded upstairs. They came to a large door with a seal on it. Sakura motioned her hands making three hand seals before the door unlocked. Sasori reached forwards with his scorpion tail and yanked open the heavy door. Sakura could mentally hear his growing impatience as she hurried within the room. "Freeze!" he yelled into her mind. Sakura froze on the spot obeying the command but not understanding when she heard a familiar voice say "shadow possession successes." Ino, Shikamaru and Choji stood behind the pair. Shikamaru had a smug smile as he stood with his hands in a seal. Sakura smiled for the first time influenced by what Sasori was feeling.
"Impressive you must be very cleaver, am I to guess your Shikamaru the one who single handedly defeated Hidan," Sasori said in gruff voice "so how did you figure out some one would be sneaking the morgue at time like this?" Shikamaru shrugged as Choji doubled his body size ready to take over binding them after his jutsu ran out "wasn't a hard guess, all the attacks coming from different places save for one looked like a distraction to me, the targets where all places that would cause most damage and chaos, so why not blow up a hospital as well, what's so important about the hidden leaf's hospitals save for the remains of some very powerful fallen nins, and as I see your Akatsuki cloaks I'm assuming your after Kakuzu's remains," he explained. "That's almost brilliant insight, but don't you know shadow possession doesn't work on inanimate objects?" Sasori asked before leaping into action, his tail leapt forwards slicing all along Choji's huge hand. He yelled in pain as the poison rapidly set in. Ino reacted by sending her mind possession jutsu, but it instantly proved useless against the puppet that lacked the organ needed for it to work rendering her powerless. Shikamaru reacted quickly to the situation by changing his jutsu to shadow shredding, the tendrils proved useful as they impaled the giant puppet. Sakura had already charged after Shikamaru dogging his attacks with ease. He didn't recognize her until they where both face to face but it was too late as she hit him with her full brutal strength. He was sure his shoulder bone was shattered as he lost consciences. Sasori crawled outside of Hiroko and sealed him away "take care of that girl before she awakes," he told Sakura. She nodded and walked up to her childhood friend and rival, seeing no need to kill her pinched a nerve on Ino's shoulder ensuring she will not bother them for hours. Sasori turned to the spamming Choji, as he had an Idea. They stepped over the bodies as Sakura pulled out the drawer that held Kakuzu's body. Sasori pulled out a scroll and summoned his ready made replica. Sakura watched with interest as he made incisions into the body and started transferring the living chakra into the puppet. "So is this how I was made?" she thought to herself, but Sasori over heard. "Yes and no, you were from scratch, as well a more delicate and finer job, thought the principals here are the same." He finishes the first step, knowing he could perfect the puppet latter having what they came for. He sealed away the puppet and burned the remains leaving Sakura to slightly wonder what ever happened to her remains. They took Choji and Shikamaru with them before slipping out the village.
Shikamaru awoke in great pain and in a forest he realized. "Oh your awake, good I was getting impatient" a red haired teen said to him. He recognized suddenly, the only Akatsuki member who was an inanimate object could be Sasori. "Where are Ino and Choji, what have you done with them, where am I?" Shikamaru demanded. Sakura stood and answered him "Ino is fine, she will be dizzy latter thou, and Choji...he is right here." Shikamaru noticed that Sasori was calmly sitting on his best friend as if he where a great log. "Now that we have your attention, I want to know where you buried Hidan," Sasori asked calmly. Shikamaru knew if he just gave in they would both be killed, but he knew Sasori was impatient and liable to do things to hasten the outcome, he wished he could get into his thinking position but he shattered shoulder wouldn't allow it. "What garenti-" he started to propose before Sasori cut him off. "Sakura has told me all about you, and before you try to escape the situation let me show you my three hundredth and first puppet." He pulled out a scroll and wooden replica of Kakuzu stood before them. Black threads leapt out the puppets body and dug into the bloated flesh of Choji. He twitched in response obviously in agony but unable to do anything about save moan.
Shikamaru called out pleading for him to stop, he fell face first trying to stand, but ignored the pain trying to stand and stop the torture being inflicted on his best friend. Sakura leaned in, Sasori felt surprised knowing what she felt but he soon understood. She grabbed Shikamaru by the neck and raised him up high chocking him as she said "tell us, tell us now or watch his heart being ripped out, then we will go back and find your father and mother, and do that to them, then Ino, then Kurenai and her child, and again and again, each time you lie, every delay, we will find a new friend, some one else…" she explained to him squeezing his neck nearly cutting off all his air. Shikamaru didn't have time to come up with a brilliant plan and he did realize this was the only was to protect what he called "the King" of the hidden leaf, he broke down and told them where the body of Hidan where buried and how to retrieve it. Sasori ended his torture and Sakura dropped Shikamaru, she watched him crawl to his friend. It infuriated her to see this, she just wanted to smash them, crush them both. Sasori told her it would be a waste of time as they both left.
"So you felt envy," Sasori plainly told Sakura as they where digging towards his goal, a constant muffled stream of endless curses and swears told them they where getting near. "Really?" She replied then shook her head "I guess I did." "Do you know why?" he asked. "Because he was sad, he was in pain…I was jealous, I can't have that," she reasoned out to herself. "And is that all?" he questioned with a smirk knowing the answer. "No, I also hated his willing to sacrifice himself for friends and for what he loves……Sasori I think I need to see two particular boys to settle something," she explained. Sasori was taken back with her sudden request, he was interested. "Please?" she pressed. "Oh alright, it should be entertaining," he agreed knowing full well what was being plotted in his delightful doll's mind.
(well first I'd like to apologize to any Choji fans I know he is always getting the short end of the stick, and for Shikamaru I also happen to be a huge fan of him, I'm really thrilled some people like this little writing experiment of mine, I think the next chapter should be the final chapter if any one has any good suggestions for either this chapter or the next I'll be happy to hear them)
