Liao Wu looked at Sasori and smiled. "Sasori, you may talk about eternity all the time, but what you've wanted from the beginning is your parents!"
"..."
Sasori shuddered.
Sasori often spoke of the Eternal Art, but within Akatsuki, he represented childhood.
He'd grown up deprived of love. During the Second Ninja World War, White Fang had killed his parents, leaving Sasori without anyone to lean on from a young age.
After learning the Puppet Technique, Sasori made puppets of his parents to fill the void left by the absence of family affection.
But how could puppets ever fill the emptiness inside him?
He claimed that he'd turned himself into a puppet because he'd seen through the fragility of life.
But if he'd truly seen through it, he wouldn't have eventually sought death, dying in the arms of the puppets named "Father" and "Mother."
Would you say someone who killed himself had seen through life—or not?
Liao Wu continued, "Sasori, you're pursuing the Moon Eye Plan because you want to enter the World of Illusion—a world where your parents are still alive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sasori fixed Liao Wu with a cold, murderous glare. "Uchiha Ryobu, I'll kill you!"
"Getting worked up?"

Ever since he'd killed the Third Kazekage and defected, Sasori had wandered aimlessly through the Rogue Ninja World, killing.
Finding powerful Ninja. Killing them. Making puppets...
The cycle went
