"The way you let go was so decisive, I'm a little hurt~."
Hatake Satoru tilted his head in an exaggerated way, covering his eyes with both hands, looking fragile.
Sasori had only lifted the eye patch to look at his eyes, and hadn't actually stretched it out to snap it.
So Hatake Satoru didn't dodge, just read the line in a flat, emotionless tone.
"It didn't hurt you at all... stop pretending."
Sasori twitched his eye, unable to resist snapping back at him.
Sasori was already numb to Hatake Satoru's habit of getting energetic when he was bored, he turned his head to look at him, then made a move to jump off the bed.
"Tch, how boring, you can't even trick you anymore."
"You were so worried when you saw me sitting here from outside the door that you had to come in and check on me, but now you're saying things like that?"
Hatake Satoru grabbed Sasori's clothes with one hand, stopping him from jumping down.
Although he could just flick his tail to push his hand away, Sasori sighed and sat back on the bed.
He wasn't originally the standoffish type, was he!?
It's just that Hatake Satoru talks too much nonsense, making him seem like he's really being like a standoffish person.
Judging by Hatake Satoru's abilities, he probably sensed Sasori when he was still at the door.
But he just sat on the bed in silence, pretending to be dead, good job, that's just like him.
"Not at all, I get excited when I think about you dying, and I really want to use your body for puppet research."
"But why are you so excited after waking up? Do you have the energy to mess with people after resting?"
Sasori said to Hatake Satoru, speechless.
"Wouldn't there be no results if my body were used for research?"
Hatake Satoru thoughtfully opened and closed his hand.
The main source of his power is the system, and there is nothing special about the body itself.
Body, constitution, immortality, Hatake Satoru quickly organized some of the keywords they were discussing.
"Ah, I, I thought of something."
Hatake Satoru paused suddenly, hitting one hand on the other, looking like he had just realized something.
"Who knows without researching it, isn't your ability different from ours too?"
"Huh? What are you doing, acting weird after just waking up?"
Sasori frowned, looking at Hatake Satoru, unable to figure him out.
"In the Akatsuki organization..."
"No, don't know, not happening."
Before Hatake Satoru could finish speaking, Sasori immediately put his hands in front of him, making an X gesture.
You can't keep taking from the same person, there are only a few people in the Akatsuki organization, and Hatake Satoru will steal them all if he keeps this up.
Moreover, Sasori didn't really want the remaining members to know that he was a kid now.
Although Deidara didn't say anything in front of Hatake Satoru, Hatake Satoru left Sasori and Deidara together in that underground explosion testing ground after he came back and left.
Deidara really made fun of Sasori.
"I wanted to say it when we first met, Sasori, why did you turn into a kid, hmm!"
"Judging from that person's methods, they should be able to disguise you, right?"
"It feels so funny... calling a kid 'Sasori', pfft..."
Deidara pursed his lips but couldn't hold back his laughter, he lifted his hand to cover his mouth and chuckled.
Veins popped out on Sasori's head, and before he could respond, Deidara continued in that annoying voice that was trying to hold back laughter.
"Sasori, your real body is a teenager, so isn't this even smaller now?"
"And you've been standing on your tiptoes to look at me... hmm!"
Deidara's eyes were almost watering from laughter.
He's only eighteen or nineteen years old now, and he took off the camera on his face and put on regular clothes.
When he laughs like this, he's no different from an ordinary ninja.
Even though the laughter is kind of real, Sasori is still annoyed.
It's a good thing Deidara didn't see more, if this kid saw Sakura hugging Sasori with a maternal expression, Deidara would probably die of laughter on the spot.
But this situation is also normal, it would be strange if Deidara didn't make fun of Sasori's new form.
Now it seems, this kid is just afraid of Hatake Satoru.
As soon as Hatake Satoru leaves, he reveals his true self and starts chattering.
Sasori belatedly looked down at his feet, sure enough, because he has no sensation, his body just takes the most comfortable pose.
Which is standing on tiptoes chatting with Deidara, although it's not his intention, it looks incredibly cute to outsiders.
With a round dumpling face, even if he's trying to look fierce, his amber eyes and long eyelashes don't show much ferocity.
When he speaks, he tilts his head back and stands on his tiptoes, wearing a serious expression, but he just looks like a child pretending to be strong.
Deidara has had professional training, unless it's really funny, he won't laugh out loud.
But it's really funny.
"Laugh again and I'll kill you."
The veins on Sasori's forehead jumped repeatedly, and a hundred ways to kill Deidara flashed through his mind in an instant.
Just abandon the body in the wilderness, this guy doesn't need to be kept around.
Kill him now, immediately, on the spot.
Sasori's tail, hidden behind his back, almost whipped out with Deidara's laughter, the tip of Sasori's tail pointed straight at Deidara's neck.
"Whoa, even though you're not that big, you're pretty aggressive...! Hmm!"
"But, Sasori, it was you and that man who asked me to come, right?"
"If you kill me, wouldn't that be a loss, hmm."
Deidara took two steps back, blinking innocently at Sasori.
His hand was in front of him, leaving a small gap between him and Sasori's tail.
Sasori's expression twisted, sure enough, this kid would use Hatake Satoru as a shield.
"Hmph, I don't care about that kind of thing."
"There's an antidote for this poison in the lab, but if the poisoning is mild, you won't die directly."
"Instead, you'll be tortured for two days, your skin and internal organs will be festering, floating in agony, but before you completely lose vital functions, injecting the antidote will quickly restore you."
"If I don't kill you, I can torture you for a few days."
Deidara's smile faded immediately, Sasori was serious when he said things like that, he would really put him through something worse than death.
"Really, don't say such scary things with such a cute face!" spoon.
