No qualified ninja would possibly open their mouth and speak at a time like this, right? Besides, he was familiar with that tone. He often used it to humiliate failures whenever his own schemes succeeded...
What exactly was the other party plotting? More importantly, why hadn't he closed in, but retreated instead?
Retsuo said, "Remember, the person who killed you was Kakashi Hatake."
"Hmph! You mean pursuing Kakashi was the fuse that set off this battle?"
Sasori gnashed his teeth. His senses and vision were slowly recovering, but it wasn't enough. The speed wasn't enough. For the first time ever, he hoped Baibian Huashan would keep on babbling. Even noise had become so adorable!
