Send me “black bird” for a darker memory of my muse’s past
The only thing that comes out of his lips when he hears that Sasori is not in Suna and was last seen attacking a village without orders from the Kazekage was an “Oh,” followed by an uncharacteristically long pause— undoubtedly felt by everyone in the room.
The news came as both a surprise… and yet not. It’s stupid to expect Sasori (or anyone for that matter— but mostly Sasori since he has gotten a taste of power) not to have treasonous inclinations.

Ryōzen finally picked up his brush and started writing on the official parchment. “Akasuna no Sasori of Sunagakure is hereby considered a missing-nin. Word of this is to be sent to every shinobi of Suna. It is not a priority though, we are still at war.
