"No matter what they're after, they've made themselves our enemies. We'll eliminate them." To be fair, Uchiha Yi admired Sasori of the Red Sands.
Sasori was a master of mechanical engineering. If Yi could bring him over to his side, technology in the Shinobi World would advance at a pace anyone could see.
But Sasori didn't seem likely to work for him unless Yi resurrected his parents. Well, Yi actually could do that. Bringing them back wouldn't be difficult for him.
But why should he?
They had been Konoha's enemies. If he resurrected them, would he have to resurrect everyone else too?
They had died in a war they waged against Konoha. Bringing them back would be an act of mercy toward the enemy. What would that make the Konoha Ninja who had died at their hands—fools?
Their situation was different from Madara Uchiha's. The distinction mattered.
Madara was one of the strongest people in the Shinobi World. They would need his help against the Ōtsutsuki Clan in the future.
Besides, Madara hadn't really done anything wrong. Kirigakure had attacked the Uzumaki Clan, but it would have done so even without him.
That was undeniable. And everyone had agreed on what to do about Madara, even Tobirama Senju, who had never gotten along with him.
As for Sasori, Yi acknowledged that he was a genius. But he was also an enemy. Even if he couldn't harm Yi, he could threaten Konoha's ninja.
That made Sasori of the Red Sands far too dangerous.

Since Sasori's actions were directed at him, Sakumo wanted to settle the matter himself. He bore responsibility for it, and he was willing to pay the price—even if it meant spending the rest of
