Prologue: Chapter 12
Sasori's harsh critique of your sculpture was deeply cut in your mind, it really bothered you how detailed he got. Not one to let your pride take such a blow, you decided to beat Sasori at his own game. So you went over all the details in your head and decided to work on the biggest issue Sasori had, how sand wasn't a sturdy enough substance for his vision of art.
"I could pour water on the sand, that'll make it stick. Of course then it'll dry out and the sand will crumble and I don't have any way to keep it damp. Argh, forgot that if I put too much water it'll just destroy the sculpture! I could start with wet sand, but that just loops back to it drying out. Okay, forget the water. Maybe clay and stone with the sand? It's how buildings are built back in the village. But wait...wouldn't that just be covering a previously made sculpture with sand? If I made the sculpture beforehand it would still be a creation of my own, but it would just be sand covering something. I suppose it works, but I want my sand to show Sasori it can hang with whatever he makes for puppets. So...urgh...!"
Such thoughts swirled in your mind the entire time as you flew to the border of the Rain-Sound and Leaf Empires. It was only smart they'd travel through the Leaf Empire, then through the Rain to reach the Earth Empire, as you knew the Leaf Empire was much too busy focusing on the infamous civil war to protect the borders of their lands. Of course nobody dared to actually attack the Leaf due to the sheer amount of power they have compared to the other Empires...
The desert slowly turned into a rainy wasteland, then the wasteland turned into large forests the Leaf Empire was known for as you, Sasori, and Sozen crossed over the border. Now that you were near the reported area where the Frost Delegate, you landed everyone safely on the ground. Flying would be a good way to get spotted right now.
"Alright, now we just gotta find the delegate," Sozen said after doing some stretches.
"They should be coming through this area soon, its a notable route for traveling merchants," you said, looking around the area. It was a large dirt path with thick trees to either side of the road. "Most likely they will disguise themselves
"Then we shall hide within the trees and I shall attack with my puppets. Unless the protection they brought are highly skilled, they shall die without resistance," Sasori confidently stated.
You crossed your arms and began to think. Sasori's plan was pretty much risk free, but could mere puppets actually do this job?
Well, what do you think?
[] Go with Sasori's plan.
[] Tell Sasori you're going to help, even if he disagrees.
[] Ask Sozen if he can assist Sasori.
[] All three of you will assist in this sneak attack.
[] Write In.
