Right after that.
Sasori took out a scroll.
"To show my respect for you, I'll let you witness my proudest collectible."
Rip.
The scroll unfurled.
Sasori formed a hand seal with one hand and slammed it onto the scroll!
Boom!
A massive cloud of white smoke exploded!
As the smoke cleared, a brand-new puppet appeared beside Sasori.
"That's...!"
She cried out in disbelief.
"The Third Kazekage!!"
The strongest Kazekage in the Shinobi World!
He possessed the terrifying Magnetic Release Kekkei Genkai and was hailed as the strongest Kazekage in Sunagakure's history!
Tsunade's voice grew solemn.
"So the Third Kazekage died by your hand!"
"Died?"
Sasori reached out and gently brushed his fingers across the Third Kazekage Puppet's cheek as if caressing a priceless treasure.
"No, this isn't death."
"I merely turned him into eternity."
"Look at him. Isn't he more perfect now than when he was alive?"
"This is the ultimate art I pursue!"
A morbid obsession gleamed in Sasori's eyes.
Tsunade felt a wave of nausea.
This guy had completely lost his mind!
"Tsunade, you should feel honored."
Sasori's gaze settled on Tsunade once more.
"I heard your newly appointed Fifth Hokage is named Uchiha Yao? A very formidable man, apparently."
"Once I deal with you, I'll kill him with my own hands and turn him into my most perfect collectible."
"The stronger he is, the more perfect a puppet he'll make!"
"He will be the crowning masterpiece of my artistic career!"
Before his words had even faded.
A terrifying killing intent erupted from Tsunade!
"Shut up!"
"A piece of trash like you, hiding in the shadows..."
Tsunade's voice brimmed with endless fury.
"How dare you even say his name?"
"Yao's strength is something a gutter maggot like you could never imagine!"
"You're the one who has angered me!"
