Naruto's Review : First Viewer is Senju Tobirama?

[Sasori drove a sword into Sakura's abdomen, but luckily Sakura reacted quickly and used both hands to firmly grip the sword, preventing Sasori from pulling it out.]

[Sasori had anticipated that this situation might happen, so he had prepared another small sword.]

[To maximize the impact, Sasori took a step back, then dashed forward again, using his momentum to attempt a direct thrust at Sakura.]

[But he became careless for a moment and fell into a trap that Chiyo had quietly set, getting his "regeneration core" pierced by the parent puppets.]

[Sasori died like this!]

[Afterward, according to Chiyo, Sasori could have avoided the attack, but it seemed that Sasori intentionally exposed his weakness, which led to his defeat.]

[One could say that from the moment Sasori saw Chiyo and the parent puppets, his desire to fight wasn't very strong. At most, he just wanted to kill Sakura.]

[In the end, he died in the embrace of the parent puppets and under Chiyo's watch, which was perhaps a lonely soul finding redemption.]

"Ah, you really were right about that."

Looking at Sasori's final outcome, Jiraiya understood, yet there was also a hint of confusion in his expression.

It was understandable because Jiraiya thought Sasori might have still cared about the family bond with Chiyo and didn't want to kill his grandmother himself.

But it was confusing because Jiraiya believed Sasori didn't have to die here. He could have easily escaped from Chiyo and Sakura's entanglement.

"Orochimaru, what do you think happened?"

Among the entire ninja world, if anyone could truly understand what Sasori was feeling at that moment, it was probably Orochimaru.

Their experiences were incredibly similar.

Both were young geniuses, both had betrayed their villages, and both possessed lifespans that ordinary people could never reach.

Most importantly, they both loved conducting experiments.

"Probably loneliness."

"Loneliness?"

"Yes, loneliness."

At this point, Orochimaru's expression became unusually serious, "From the moment Sasori created the parent puppets as a child, it was clear he deeply craved the love of his parents. But, because of what everyone knows, Sasori couldn't feel that love."

Saying this, Orochimaru glanced at Sasori before continuing, "Chiyo was very kind to him, but it couldn't make up for the absence of his parents. This was the first time he truly felt loneliness."

"After Sasori killed the Third Kazekage and joined the Akatsuki, no one in the organization recognized his art. Even I, back then, scoffed at the wooden puppets he played with, let alone the others."

"Not having his ideals acknowledged, this was the second time Sasori felt loneliness, because no one understood him."

"When he saw Granny Chiyo again and the puppets of his parents, Sasori felt loneliness for the third time. His parents were long gone, and his only grandmother was aging. When Chiyo passed away, Sasori would be left with no family in the vast ninja world."

"Perhaps Sasori couldn't bear this reality. Rather than killing his own grandmother and turning himself into a complete orphan, he preferred to die at her hands."

"At least in that moment, he wouldn't be alone. He would still have family alive."

Jiraiya nodded but didn't comment on Orochimaru's words.

But no matter how you look at it, Sasori died by Chiyo's hands, in the embrace of the very puppets of his parents that he had created.

[As the first official member of the Akatsuki to pass away, Sasori reappeared during the Fourth Great Ninja War period.]

[Sasori was revived by Kabuto using the Reanimation Jutsu.]

[But even after being revived, it was pretty useless because he had no puppets (laughs).]

[Without his puppets, Sasori had no choice but to control other ninja revived by Impure World Reincarnation.]

[On the battlefield, he discovered that Kankuro could summon the body he had turned into a puppet in his previous life.]

[Although Kankuro wasn't much of a match for Sasori, he did have an unexpectedly strong verbal ability. It was hard to tell if he had secretly learned this from Naruto.]

[After a round of verbal battle, Sasori was completely defeated by Kankuro's words.]

[Some people say that Kankuro could talk Sasori to death, which is ridiculous.]

[But I want to say that Sasori never really had much desire for battle. In the end, he must have felt satisfied seeing his puppet techniques being used by the younger generation of Suna, especially those that were his own creations from when he was alive.]

[Looking at Sasori's life, he was very empathetic as a child. Even though he knew his parents died in battle, he kept silent about it to spare Chiyo's feelings. Instead, he quietly played with his action figures.]

[While the main characters were mostly illiterate, Sasori had already mastered chemical medicine and precision poison crafting.]

[Sasori's poison was so powerful that even Chiyo, who had neutralized Hanzo's poison, was helpless against it. He was undoubtedly a master poisoner.]

[His ability to make puppets was also on par with the First Puppet Master, and he developed high-tech puppets that retained chakra attributes.]

[In the entire Naruto series, he was the only one who could create human puppets. He was truly the king of action figures.]

[In the Akatsuki, he held his own, skillfully placing spies, doing things meticulously, keeping a strong sense of time, and completing missions on schedule. He was, without a doubt, an outstanding employee.]

[The entire puppet industry lost its luster after his passing. It became a thing of the past.]

[As the saying goes, the fall of a genius marks the fall of the industry or even the era.]

[But at least Sasori, whose appearance was frozen in his youth, proved eternal beauty through himself, symbolizing the golden age of puppeteers.]

[Well, that's the end of our recap of Deidara and Sasori. We'll meet again in the next episode!]

Sasori's life was watched in this way.

Whether in Tobirama's era or the Third Hokage's era, people were deeply moved by the fall of such a genius puppeteer.

Especially Sakumo Hatake.

But still, the same saying applies: if given another 10,000 chances, he would still choose to kill that couple.

Not for any other reason, but because they were enemies.

If he had spared them, he might have saved Sasori.

But who can save the children of those Konoha ninjas who died in battle?

My hero is their enemy.

Many things don't have a right or wrong; it's people's positions that determine what is right or wrong.

Just like the ninjas watching the screen.

They feel regret for Sasori's fall.

But they don't really want to change anything.

After all, Sasori wasn't one of their own; he was from Sunagakure.

The sun rises and the moon sets, a new day comes.

Orochimaru has already created many clones of Danzo's body with added enhancements.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Orochimaru and Danzo were once partners; he is very interested in killing Danzo.

"Orochimaru, everyone's here, let's begin."

"Okay!"
