After spending the last six years across the different regions of the Empire. Sasori and Claudius were in a caravan en route to the capital. Sasori had grown up keeping the same appearance he had in Suna, the only difference being that he wore a coat that looked suspiciously like akatsuki. He had found it by chance in one of the many villages he had visited and had bought several as usual in memory of the organization for which he had died.
Normally they should have come much earlier because they had learned that Simon, Sasori's father, was found cutting his head. Master Claudius had suggested that he go home to bid him farewell, but Sasori had told him that he wanted to finish his training first. In fact, Sasori only felt a slight discomfort at the death of his second father. This discomfort came from the fact that on his return, the former Akatsuki member wanted to join the Imperial Army and that receiving the recommendation of a garrison commander would allow him to be quickly graded. Without this recommendation he would have to make more effort when joining the army.
The caravan they belonged to had about thirty people, including five guards. It was only two days before the capital and they finally began to relax while the risk of an ambush decreased. In recent years public order outside the capital has only decreased. Many villagers were about to become bandits to avoid the tax imposed by the Empire. As a result, cases of attack by bandits were regularly spanked.
While it was Sasori's turn to fill the water bottles with water, he heard the sounds of fighting from the camp. He hurried to get there, but when he reached the camp, he saw that everyone had already been killed, including his master. About twenty bandits were looting the corpses. They all wore hoods so as not to receive search notices on their behalf. One of the bandits had noticed the red-haired young man who was walking towards them.
Bandit 1: Hey, you guys forgot one!
Bandit 2: It's good, I'm taking care of it.
The man approached Sasori with a sword in his hand.
Bandit 2: Closes the eyes kid and it will quickly end ... OUARG !!!!
A needle passed through the criminal's trachea to the back of his neck. He could only agitate the ground by suffocating in his own blood.
The others were surprised to see what had happened to their companion. While they were still stunned, the five dead guards stood up and went between Sasori and the bandits.
Sasori thought: It can be said that it took a long time before I was able to repaint my puppet art. Although it is not one of my works, these false puppets will allow me to have the perfect subjects to begin the construction of my human puppets.
The bandits came back to reality and were surprised to see the dead guards get up as if nothing had happened. Thanks to Sasori's expertise, it was impossible to see his chakra threads .
Bandit 1: Shit we had not already had them?
Bandit 3: I do not know, maybe we did not cut deep enough?
Sasori said with a smirk: Well, if we started the show?
Even if these words came from a child, the murderous intention that he released gave a cold sweat to those who heard him.
Bandit 1: Gerard, take care of them
One of the bandits with a bow caught one of his arrows and sent it directly into the head of one of the soldiers. Contrary to expectations, the guard only moved backwards because of the force of inertia, but he was still in a fighting position. The five puppets charged into the group of thieves, not worrying about the damage they received, they killed several of their opponents before falling. At the same time as they attacked, Sasori threw poisoning needles at those who left openings at their vital point. At other times, he hijacked their attacks with his threads so that they touched their allies.
When the five soldiers were dismembered to the point that they could no longer serve any purpose, the master puppeteer used the dead of the adversary for the returned against them.
After fighting for several minutes, there were only four bandits left with more or less serious injuries and they were exhausted. The rest of their companion was scattered in pieces on the ground, they had no more intact bodies.
Bandit 4: I do not know how you did that, but I swear to you that you will beg us to kill you after what we will do to you.
Sasori had a smirk on his face, while with one finger movement, all the weapons belonging to the dead fighters surrounded the last survivors. They looked desperate to the point that one of them was kneeling and whimpering.
Bandit 5 stammering: Bastard !! What are you doing ???
Sasori keeping his little smile: For me so entertained I want to say it as a reward. You can call me Sasori of the Red Sand.
Finishing his words, he made a slight movement with his hand that sent all the weapons to his opponents.
The last thing that could be heard was their cries of agonis, while the ground was tinged with their blood.
Here is the return of the master puppeteer,
