wewt thanks
edit: those two puppets seem to be pretty funky as well
Need a translation for this one, too much dialogue.
Hmmm, Wonder how they'll get outta this situation.
Mid air kaiten from Neji! w00t!
Black stuff = iron sand... ?
If Chiyo ends up beating an akatsuki member, I'll go insane. Sasori deserves a death from someone badass like Kakashi.
That entitlement went out the window when Sasori turned out to be just another bishounen.Originally posted by: Mut@chi

Sasori will not die by the hands of a pussy like Kakashi.
The Kazekage puppet was cool, what was that black stuff?
The parents puppets were quite good to. If those were the first he built he got some skills. Not that we didn't know that already... Still his coolest puppet this far gotta be Hiruko.
Nice to see Sakura back to her old useless self again.
I need a translation.
Wow, this really surprises me. No one is badass as Kakashi. I can't believe you just said that.Originally posted by: PSJ

I'm tired of Kakashi he is not interesting and he is not badass. Besides he is not strong enough to take down an Akatsuki member.

Kakashi kind of lost his mystique once it was seen he was just an uptight brat when younger. He's still pretty awesome when it comes to fighting, but he said it himself... he's lost presence now that the kids have grown. A little.
Wow, seems all of the Akatsuki members are going to be bishounen! Except Kisame.
Maybe the Akatsuki is in fact a bunch of guys who want to remain young forever and that shit and they need the monsters' chakra for that... I mean, at least Orochimaru seemed to be interested in that, and now Sasori has managed to look like a kid for how long? Oh, and he also killed his parents and other people who loved him. Another requirement I guess.
And yes, the black stuff is called "Iron Sand"... seems it's a special jutsu designed by the Third Kazekage on his own. Sasori is the only one who can create "Human Puppets", which are puppets which have the original Human's jutsus... his father and mother were the first he created but Chiyo has upgraded them a little (she created a chakra shield to defend herself from the Iron Sand, for instance). Sasori still doesn't seem very impressed and at the end attacks both Chiyo and Sakura - Chiyo will either defend Sakura or defend herself, so "one will have to die". Yeah right. Sakura wont die and Chiyo was just introduced so no...
I'd like to see Sakura doing something again. C'mon Kishimoto, you can say she doesn't have battle experience and whatever, but she would have at least sparred agains Tsunade and Shizune, right? And her body is techically smaller, so she could at least, I dunno, dodge?
Bah. She's still the master of injuring herself and talking a lot.

at least it seems they're mixing the flashback and the fight i guess maybe to create more immediate tension between Chiyo and Sasori? better than whole chapters dedicated to flashbacks.
Taken from Narutofan fouroms.
Interweb is being slow, here's everything in one shot.
Page 1:
Side: Mother. Father. Puppets. Sasori of the Red Sands...What are his origins? His past?
Title: Puppeteer vs. Puppeteer!
Page 2:
Pfft...What're you trying to pull?
I made those puppets.
They don't stand a chance against me, you fool...
Chiyobaa: *I'll give you the frowning of a lifetime! Nnnneeeehhhh...
Page 3:
Aww.
Page 4:
Sakura: Wires?
Page 5:
Slicin'!
Page 6/7:
Puppets clashing, charka threads whirling around, Chiyobaa being old, etc.
Sakura: Holy crap...
Page 8:
Sasori: Not bad...I should have known I couldn't play around with you.
(lit: I should have expected you'd be this much of a bother.)
Time to get serious.
Chiyobaa: *Nnneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhh!!
Page 9:
Chiyobaa: I knew it...that puppet can use the Third's jutsu...
Sasori: You haven't seen this for a long time, huh? This jutsu is why they called the Third the strongest...
Seriously though, it's about time I killed you.
Sakura: What the hell is it?
Chiyobaa: The most fearsome weapon in the Hidden Sand...
Page 10:
Chiyobaa: Iron Sand.
The bearer of Shukaku uses it for certain jutsu...The Third was able to produce it from his own body, and change it into whatever weapon the situation demanded.
The Third Kazekage...within his body layed the ability to turn chakra into magnetic fields.
(Me: Badass, I just learned the kanji for magnetism yesterday)
Sakura: But how?? That's just a puppet, right? How can an inanimate object use chakra?
Chiyobaa: That puppet was created from a living human that still posessed chakra at the time it was changed...A "Human Puppet"
Page 11:
Chiyobaa: Not only is Sasori the only person alive who can make a "Human Puppet", but those puppets can use whatever jutsu they knew while still alive...
(The emotion being conveyed is like, "As if him being the only person who can make them wasn't bad enough, he can also have the puppets use whatever jutsu they knew)
That's the great advantage human puppets offer.
3rd Kazekage Puppet: *Cheese!
Sasori: You're forgetting something...but anyways, that's why this one's my favorite.
Chiyobaa: Sakura! Get out of here now! I'll fight him myself!
Sakura: What?!
Chiyobaa: The situation has gotten too different than what I expected. The moment that puppet came out, your usefulness ended!
Page 12:
Sasori: It's too late.
Satetsu Shigure! (Iron Sandstorm!)
Page 13:
Chiyobaa: Shit!
Page 14:
Sakura: Ungh...
Sasori: You've been putting in some work, huh...
That chakra shield's at a higher level than when I would play around...
Page 15:
Aww...(What the SHIT, man? Sasori is some kinda fucked up. Awesome.)
Page 16:
Chiyobaa: *Nnneehh..:[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]ant::..ehh...:[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]ant::Nyeeeeeeeeeeeeeh hh..."
Chiyobaa: The Iron Sand's hampering his movement...figures...
Page 17:
Sasori: You should know you can't block that jutsu! The only thing you can do is dodge!
His (the father puppet) body's been invaded by the Iron Sands and is being influenced by the Third's magnetic powers. He's useless.
Page 18:
Sasori: ...(lit. "sate - well then..."doesn't work with the sentence I'm gonna do).
This time, I'm going to attack both of you, simultaneously.
You're not going to escape with just being wounded, either. Pay close attention to the shape, you'll see I'm going for the kill.
Page 19:
Sasori: You can't defend the both of you with just one puppet! What's it gonna be, Grandma?!
Heh...
Which one's gonna die?
Side: It can't be fully blocked! A rain of assassin's daggers falls towards Chiyobaa and Sakura - what are their fates?
(Me: DOOOOOOOOOOM)
Bottom:
An unblockable jutsu - and a shocking conclusion!
Next time: "Death...and then...?"
FIN

seems sasori was using his parent puppets to masturbate him? page 15.
please end this crappy fight. ugh.
crappy fight? i'm really liking this fight Sasori is fo freaking cool
This fight is alright, but I wanna see Naruto slamming into walls again. Seriously, he's even forgetting to add the "dattebayo" lately!
In the flashbacks Sasori looks real lonely. Like... happy 'cause he got his puppets but then he looks at a portrait and haves the puppets hug him... I somewhat wish they would give us a few flashback chapters already, but since he was only introduced as what he really is (a pretty boy), I guess we'll have to wait.

それでも何かを信じたい 心の奥の声
yep....this confirms my opinion from a few weeks back that Sasori is now my favorite villian from this series
Interesting how he's like itachi and oro in the sense that he can accumulate jutsus...except that he does so in such a drastically different way
10/4/04 - 8/20/07
Fuck, this rules. This series is so much better when Naruto isn't in the pages. And the way Chiyo said "Your usefulness has ended" to Sakura just made me go "FUCK YEAH!"
Also I'm with Assertn, Sasori ownsssssss
Aargh, we've been too spoilt by having teams clean up the raws - these pages are disgusting to look at! Interesting chapter however.
I think I know precisely what I mean
when I say it's a schpadoinkle day
I think next chapter is when we will finally see Sakura shine through and show us what she can really do.
Sakura has been training with Tsunade, a sannin and hokage, for the last 3 years. Even the Sakura haters have to ackowledge that she has gotten a lot stronger from that and has to have learned some crazy new jutsus as well. Sakura and Chiyo are now in dire straits and the death of at least one of them has been implied. Sakura has now been looked down upon by both Chiyo ("your usefullness has ended") and by Sasori for viewing her as nothing more than Chiyo's puppet. Usually under those circumstances a character steps up and proves their worth, so this could potentially be Sakura's finest moment.
I still believe that regardless of what Sakura does here, Chiyo will be fatally wounded. Sakura will do all she can to save her, but, she will only manage to keep her alive long enough for Kakashi and Naruto to retrieve Gaara's body from Deidara so that Chiyo can transfer her life force to Gaara.
This fight rules, Sasori rules. What you rather watch Kakashi and Naruto getting their asses kicked? We all know the akatsuki will win in the end, might as well be Sakura and the old hag being owned.Originally posted by: mage
