"Shinji, what's this?"
Tobi pretended not to know anything as he picked up Sasori's [Regeneration Core].
"That's good stuff. It'll fetch a high price."
Shinji said that deliberately. Deidara hadn't returned, possibly because Tobi had stopped him.
Hidan had mentioned in passing that Tobi had diarrhea and had been gone for quite a while.

If that really was the case, he wouldn't need to take any risks.
He could simply have someone buy it back.
"What does this thing do? Who would buy it?"

And with Sasori's skills, he could use chakra threads to control not only puppets, but living people as well.
He suspected that Sasori had been playing dead because he was looking for an opportunity.
Otherwise, if his attempt failed, Sasori, with nothing left but a [Regeneration Core], would almost certainly die.

Being sold was good. No matter who bought him, he would have a chance to escape.
It was just a shame about all the puppets he had released.
But that didn't matter either. He could salvage them later if he got
