"What magnificent art this is!"
The scene before him brought a deep shock to the still young Deidara.
His art might never be able to create such an effect in his lifetime.
Sasori, in the form of a red-haired youth beside him, twitched his lips when he heard this. If he remembered correctly,
there should be a city here, and outside the city, there should be a sea.
Could it be that he had been taking care of Deidara, this little kid, for a while, and was so exhausted that he had taken the wrong path?
Suspecting himself in his heart, he moved the umbrella away again and looked up at the sky that was constantly raining.
It was still the familiar rain, so it seemed he shouldn't have taken the wrong path.
So it seemed that something must have happened in the Land of Rain during the time he was away.
"Let's go, let's go over and take a look first."
Sasori's current puppet had been carefully polished by him, and its various bodily functions were far superior to those of ordinary human bodies.
His eyesight was also quite excellent. Even through the misty rain and from a relatively long distance, he could still clearly see the simple buildings that had been erected inside.
Sasori jumped down into the big pit and hurried towards the building complex in the middle.
"Hey! Wait for me!"
Deidara, who was behind him, was still sighing with emotion, but his reaction was a beat slow, and he quickly followed.
Deidara also really wanted to meet the creator of this artistic masterpiece now.
As the two approached the building area, Deva Path Pain appeared before them.
Nagato, who possessed the Rain Tiger at Will Technique, had already sensed them when they entered the Land of Rain.
"Leader!"
When he saw Deva Path Pain, Sasori's mood stabilized a lot for some reason. At least the backbone of the organization was still there.
Although the Akatsuki was not very united internally, and there were often conflicts between members, at least it could be considered a home for a rogue Ninja like him.
Deva Path nodded, just about to speak.
"Could it be that you are the creator of this art?"
Deidara, who was beside him, had already jumped in front of him and spoke.
This head of golden, medium-short hair was quite dazzling.
"Art?"
Deva Path was a little confused, then looked at Sasori behind him, his ancient well-like eyes seemed to carry a hint of inquiry.
"Art is an explosion!"
Before Sasori could speak, Deidara spread his legs apart again, opened his arms, and made his body look like a firework blooming.
"You must have experimented with your art here."
Deva Path was silent, his eyes slightly narrowed as he sized up Deidara for a long while.
Then, he silently turned around, saying in a flat tone, "Follow me."
Sasori obediently followed, pulling Deidara along with him.
This Deidara only had explosions on his mind, completely lacking the ability or concept of reading the atmosphere; he just said whatever came to mind.
Who would shout that this was art in front of someone else's village ruins?
It was only because Nagato's mentality was better now; otherwise, he would have thrown an Almighty Push at him.
"Don't call me Leader anymore."
While walking, Deva Path suddenly spoke.
"Hmm? Why?"
Sasori was a bit puzzled; it couldn't be that because a new member said the wrong thing, he, an old employee, would be fired, right?
"The Akatsuki has now joined Wave Country. From now on, the Leader of Wave Country will be our Leader."
Deva Path said these words very naturally, but they made Sasori fall silent.
He had only been away for a while; how could such a big change have occurred in the organization?
"..."
The thought of running away appeared in Sasori's mind, but it was just a thought.
In front of this person, he probably couldn't even run away; he could only take things one step at a time.
He should go and meet the new Leader first.
The atmosphere fell silent again.
Deidara wanted to speak up several times in the middle, but Sasori stopped him; he was really worried that this guy would say something thoughtless again.
Afterward, Deva Path led the two to the temporary office building in the Land of Rain.
Pushing the door open, Naruto, Konan, and Nagato were already waiting for them.
As soon as they entered, looking at the two unfamiliar figures in front of them, Sasori didn't know how to greet them.
"Let me introduce them."
Konan took the initiative to step forward and said.
"This is Nagato, who is the real Leader of the original Akatsuki, and Pain over there is one of the puppets Nagato made."
Hearing this, even Sasori, who had almost completely transformed his body into a puppet, revealed a very surprised look in his eyes.
He looked at Deva Path Pain with an incredulous expression, and then at Nagato sitting in the wheelchair, his eyes completely filled with fervor.
This powerful strength, and the smooth and unhindered movements like a normal person, was this really a puppet?
Deidara also looked in surprise at the person who had just led them in; he never expected that this was actually a puppet.
"Could it be, a Human Puppet?"
But he quickly shook his head again. What kind of human puppet was it? Could anyone know better than him?
"This is a puppet that only the Rinnegan can create."
"If you want to study it, there will be opportunities in the future."
Nagato took the initiative to explain, otherwise Sasori would probably have to think about it for a long time.
After hearing the answer, a glimmer of light appeared in Sasori's eyes.
His puppetry had already reached a bottleneck. Apart from finding more powerful corpses, he couldn't find any other way to improve.

Now, it seems there is a new way.
"Thank you, Leader... Lord."
Sasori thanked him excitedly, almost forgetting the title.
Then, he looked at Naruto, who was standing in the main seat in the middle, and he had already guessed in his heart that this should be his current Leader.
"This is Uzumaki Naruto, the Leader of Wave Country, and now also the Leader of Land of Rain and Akatsuki."
Konan saw that Sasori had recovered and began to introduce Naruto.
Sasori was not too surprised by Naruto's young appearance.
He had also seen the Fourth Mizukage Yagura Karatachi in Hidden Mist Village. He looked like a child in his forties or fifties, which was obviously even stranger.
Perhaps it was because the Tailed Beast had the effect of maintaining appearance.
The Fourth Mizukage and the Leader of Wave Country were both Jinchuriki.
"Leader!"
Although he had many thoughts in his heart, Sasori still bowed slightly to Naruto honestly.
With Nagato's promise, he could be said to be quite obedient now.
"Sasori, I have high hopes for you."
Naruto was also full of smiles. Sasori was an unexpected surprise for him.
Now, the education in Ninja arts in Wave Country, with Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Medical Ninjutsu, and Sealing Technique, can be said to be quite complete, but there are still some shortcomings.
Now, with Sasori's joining, it can be regarded as filling the missing piece of the puzzle of puppetry.
Moreover, the wonderful use of puppetry is not only in combat, but also closely related to daily life.
