Sand Hidden Village stood quiet under the desert sun as Kirito recounted his battle with Sasori to Kakashi on the hospital roof.
"Really?" Kakashi said with a hint of relief. "I didn't expect Sasori to be such a formidable opponent. Fortunately, you were there. Otherwise, Sakura and the others wouldn't have stood a chance against him."
Kirito twirled a scroll casually in his hand. "...

Having lived through countless battles and losses, she believed there was little left in the world that could shock her. The whereabouts of the Third Kazekage and the actions of her grandson, Sasori, were among the rare exceptions.

His plan had been flawless. The "Performance of a Hundred Puppets" was nothing more than a diversion, a smokescreen to allow him to hide his true body and escape amidst the chaos. Even if the worst occurred, his arsenal of poison mist, Senbon, and fire-breathing scrolls would ensure his survival.

After Yagura's visit, no one else from the Mist Village disturbed Shinki, allowing the caravan to stay undisturbed for a few days.
