Chapter 201 Scorpion Inventory Completed

Sasori plunged a knife into Sakura's abdomen, but fortunately, Sakura reacted quickly enough to wedge the knife between her hands, preventing Sasori from pulling it out.

[Scorpion had anticipated this situation, so he prepared an extra knife.]

To maximize its power, Sasori deliberately jumped back a step before charging forward, using the momentum to prepare for a head-on thrust at Sakura.

However, he was careless and fell into Chiyo's carefully laid trap, having his "regeneration core" pierced by his parents' puppets.

The scorpion is dead!

[According to Chiyo afterwards, Sasori could have avoided the attack, but it seems that Sasori deliberately exposed his weakness, which led to his defeat.]

[It could be said that from the moment Sasori saw Chiyo and her parents' puppet form, his fighting spirit wasn't particularly strong; at most, he just wanted to kill Sakura.]

Fortunately, he died in the embrace of his parents' puppets and under Chiyo's gaze, a tragic end for a lonely soul.

"Tsk, you were right."

Looking at Sasori's final fate, Godai Jiraiya felt a mixture of understanding and bewilderment.

Jiraiya's understanding stemmed from the fact that Sasori might still cherish his familial bond with Chiyo and didn't want to kill his grandmother with his own hands.

Jiraiya couldn't understand it. He thought Sasori didn't need to die here. He could have easily gotten rid of Chiyo and Sakura and escaped the scene.

"Orochimaru, what do you think is going on?"

In the entire ninja world, if we were to say who could best understand Sasori's feelings at this moment, it would probably be Orochimaru.

His experience was remarkably similar to that of Scorpion.

Both were child prodigies, both defected from their villages, and both possessed lifespans that ordinary people could hardly attain.

Most importantly, they both enjoy conducting experiments.

"It's probably loneliness."

Are you lonely?

"Yes, loneliness."

At this point, Orochimaru's expression became unusually serious. "You can tell from the fact that Sasori created puppets of his parents when he was a child that he longed for his parents' love. It's just that, as everyone knows, Sasori couldn't feel that love."

As he spoke, Orochimaru glanced at Sakumo before continuing, "Chiyo was very good to him, but she couldn't make up for the absence of his parents. This was the first time he had ever felt lonely."

"After Sasori killed the Third Kazekage and joined Akatsuki, no one in the entire organization recognized his art. Even I scoffed at the wooden things he manipulated back then, let alone anyone else."

"The fact that his ideals were not recognized made Scorpion feel lonely for the second time, because no one understood him."

"When Sasori saw Granny Chiyo and her parents' puppets again, he felt lonely for the third time. His parents had already died, and his only grandmother was so old. When Chiyo died, he would have no relatives left in the vast ninja world."

"Perhaps Scorpion couldn't tolerate such a thing. Rather than killing his grandmother with his own hands and becoming a complete orphan, he would rather die at her hands."

"At least, at that moment, he wasn't alone; he still had family members alive."

Jiraiya nodded noncommittally at Orochimaru's statement.

Regardless of the circumstances, Scorpion died at Chiyo's hands, in the arms of the puppet parents he created.

As the first official member of Akatsuki to die, Sasori reappeared during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Sasori was resurrected by Kabuto Yakushi using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

But even if he were resurrected, it wouldn't be of much use, because he wouldn't have a puppet (laughs).

Without a puppet, Sasori had no choice but to control other reanimated ninjas.

On the battlefield, he discovered that Kankuro could summon his body, which had been transformed into a puppet during his lifetime.

Although Kankuro was still no match for Sasori at this point, he possessed an incredibly powerful "talk-no-jutsu" (a skill that relies on persuasion), though it's unclear whether he secretly learned it from Naruto.

After a barrage of words, Sasori was simply rendered powerless by Kankuro's talk.

[Some people say Kankuro could kill Sasori with his mouth, which is absurd.]

[But I have to say, Sasori never really had much of a fighting spirit. Seeing his juniors from Sunagakure using puppetry on the battlefield, especially using his own puppet body, must have been very gratifying.]

Throughout Sasori's life, he showed great empathy even as a child. Knowing his parents had died in battle, he remained silent to avoid upsetting Chiyo, quietly enjoying his collectible figures alone.

Despite the fact that all the main characters are illiterate, Scorpion has already mastered chemical pharmaceuticals and sophisticated poison formulation.

[Even Chiyo, who completely countered Hanzo's poison, was helpless against Scorpion's venom. He was undoubtedly a master of Breaking Bad.]

[His puppet-making abilities are no less than those of the first puppeteer, and he has developed a puppet technology that preserves chakra attributes.]

[Throughout the entire Naruto series, he is the only one capable of creating human puppets, making him the undisputed king of figure making.]

[He remained composed and respectful within the Akatsuki organization, skillfully planting various spies, meticulous in his work, punctual, and always completed tasks on time—a truly outstanding employee.]

The entire puppetry industry paled in comparison to his departure, its glory fading into obscurity.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

As the saying goes, the fall of a genius signifies the decline of an industry and even an era.

But at least Sasori, whose appearance was frozen in his youth, proved eternal beauty through his own actions, symbolizing the pinnacle of the puppeteer's era.

Alright, that concludes our review of Deidara and Sasori. See you next time!

The scorpion's life has been completely witnessed.

Whether it's the Tobirama timeline or the Third Hokage timeline, everyone is deeply moved by the fall of such a genius puppeteer.

Especially Hatake Sakumo.

But as I said before, even if he had ten thousand more choices, he would still choose to kill that couple.

For no other reason than that they are enemies.

Letting them go might save the scorpion.

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

My hero is their enemy.

Many things are neither right nor wrong; it is people's perspectives that determine whether something is right or wrong.

Just like the ninjas watching the light screen.

They deeply regretted the scorpion's demise.

However, they don't want to change anything.

Why? Because Sasori wasn't one of their own, but rather from Sunagakure.

As the sun rises and the moon sets, a new day begins.

Orochimaru has already added ingredients to clone many bodies of Danzo.

Despite being partners with Danzo back then, Orochimaru was also very interested in killing Danzo.

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

"OK!"
