To not rot, to stay forever, this is the goal that Sasori has been chasing.
The reason he gave up his real body was also because of this goal.
The flesh body will age, die, and rot. As time changes, people will also weaken until they reach the end of their lives.
Sasori is very aware of his parents' situation.
Even if they didn't die at the hands of White Fang, they would die sooner or later. No one can avoid death.
So he seeks to transform himself into an unsolvable puppet. His spirit is indeed growing, but his body remains forever unchanged, immortal and everlasting.
Sasori also understands and uses the various materials for making puppets, but he has never used such a fine body.
In his understanding, this is something that human skill cannot currently achieve.
To be honest, puppet techniques are basically a unique skill of Sunagakure Village. Sasori has always stood at the highest point of puppetry from the past to the present.
Even from the shocked look in Chiyo's eyes before, Sasori could realize that even in Sunagakure Village, he was probably the highest puppet master.
But now, he has undoubtedly encountered a new level.
He can hardly find a height that he can approach.
"Of course it's me, didn't you want to see my puppet techniques?"
"How is it? You've already seen it, right?"
"...Rather than saying you've seen it, it's better to say you've felt it, right?"
Hatake Satoru looked at him with a smile.
Rather than defeating Hatake Satoru as a puppet master, using the body he made directly can better experience the superb skills.
Sasori's body was kept at the age of fourteen or fifteen. Although many parts of his body have been replaced, it is still his body that has been modified.
It's a human puppet.
But from the size of his hands and feet, and the position he is in, this is obviously not him at fifteen or sixteen years old.
It's at least ten years younger.
"Although I don't want to praise you, you're really amazing..."
Sasori twisted his arm strangely. This body is even more outrageous than making a human puppet.
Unless you feel it yourself, even if someone tells you that you can make a humanoid puppet without a physical body, Sasori himself wouldn't believe it.
But now he is personally experiencing this brand new body, which is simply impossible not to believe.
Hatake Satoru pressed the flesh core on Sasori's chest inward hard, and then skin and flesh grew out of Sasori's body, directly covering the flesh core.
Sasori's body does not look like a puppet, but a real person.
The thin cracks connecting the body to the hands and feet cannot be found if you don't look carefully. They are as light as the scars left on a child's body.
"You brought me back to Sunagakure to revive me, aren't you afraid that I will destroy this place?"
"Although this body is a child, my age will not go back with the body."
Sasori jumped off the table and stood on the ground. Fortunately, he couldn't feel the roughness or temperature of the ground.
If he had any feeling, he would really think that Hatake Satoru had made him a human.
"You don't have the ability now, right? Puppet masters originally attack by controlling puppets. You don't have any puppets to use around you now."
"And for what you are pursuing, you probably want to learn from me how to make a puppet like your body, right?"
Hatake Satoru put his hands behind his head, leaned back in the chair, and looked up at the ceiling.
Sasori stood next to him, looking up, dimly able to see Hatake Satoru's deep blue eyes behind the sunglasses.
"..."
Sasori was silent for a while, as if he couldn't find the right words for a while.
To be honest, he left the village to pursue a wider world for his artistic goals.
Joining Akatsuki was just a side job, after all, you have to eat to pursue art.
Hatake Satoru obviously knows his situation. He really wants to study puppets and incorruptible human bodies with this guy now.
However, Hatake Satoru said it so casually, which is really annoying.
After all, although Sasori now looks only five or six years old, he is actually almost thirty-five or six years old, older than Hatake Satoru.
Having someone younger than him as a teacher just feels like a loss of face!
"You guy, your personality is really bad, what an unpleasant way to put it."
"But if you want to keep me in Sunagakure, the higher-ups may not agree."
Sasori pouted unhappily, but still said something serious.
He is notorious. Not only did he kill the Third Kazekage and turn him into a puppet, but he also has a bunch of black marks related to Akatsuki to take the blame for.
It won't be so easy for Hatake Satoru to protect him.
But this room doesn't seem to have Anbu monitoring or anything. Hatake Satoru doesn't seem to be a ninja either.
To have this kind of treatment, either this person is too weak, or this person is too strong and has some means.
Obviously Hatake Satoru should be the latter.
"Who told you to self-destruct~ Just change your identity."
"Pretend to be a child, when the higher-ups or outsiders come, you can just pretend to be a five-year-old child and get away with it."
"You didn't hesitate when you were pretending to be fifteen when you were thirty-five, it shouldn't be difficult to pretend to be five, right~?"
Hatake Satoru showed a cunning fox-like smile.
Sasori felt a sense of speechlessness for the first time. What kind of weird idea is this?
This guy's bad taste is really terrible.
Before Sasori could say anything to refuse, there was a sudden rapid knock on the door outside.
Accompanied by the refreshing voice of a young man.
"I'm back, teacher——".
Sasori's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he exchanged glances with Hatake Satoru.
Hatake Satoru's face was full of playful amusement, obviously not telling him the identity of the person who came in.
It doesn't look like he's reliable at all.
"Tch..."
A trace of disgust appeared on Sasori's face, which was still a bit chubby, and he reluctantly squeezed out a sound from his teeth.
Hozuki Mangetsu opened the door with big and small bags after finishing speaking outside. After closing the door casually, Hozuki Mangetsu dropped the bags in his hand in shock.
"I also bought food..."
"Eh——!!!! There really is a child??!"
There was still some reluctance on Sasori's face, but it just looked like a child was acting out.
Then Sasori secretly gritted his teeth and said to Hozuki Mangetsu in a childish voice, word by word.
"Bro, ther, hel, lo..."
The whole room instantly fell into a deathly silence.
The plastic bags that fell on the ground made intermittent rustling sounds, abrupt and harsh.
"Pfft."
Hatake Satoru broke the silence with an exceptionally loud laughter.
"Hahahaha." Spoon.
