-This is starting to get messy.

Guess I better play my next hand.

-So my suspicions were true.

That's the Third's jutsu.

-Brings back memories, huh?

This jutsu is the reason the Third

is held as the most powerful ninja the Sand has ever known.

I'm going to grind you into dust.

-W-w-what is that?

-The most terrifying weapon in the history

of the Sand Village, the Iron Sand.

-Iron Sand?

-Mhm.

This is one of the original jutsu of the Third Kazekage

himself.

Adapted from one used by the former host of the Shukaku.

It can mold particles of Iron Sand into any shape or weapon,

forming the perfect weapon for every situation.

The Third had a special physical constitution

that allowed him to convert his infused chakra

into magnetic forces.

This puppet has the same ability.

It's manipulating the sand by making it's chakra magnetic.

-How can that be?

Even if it's made from the body of the Third Kazekage,

this thing's still just a puppet,

it's not like it's alive.

how can a puppet hold chakra?

-It can't.

That puppet is a human puppet, built from a real body.

It is fundamentally different from the mother and father

puppets of mine.

It was made from a real person.

Sasori is the only one who can produce human puppets.

The puppet retains whatever chakra the body

possessed in life.

The added benefit being, the puppet

is able to use the same jutsu it could when it was alive.

It's the great advantage that human puppets

have over ordinary ones.

-There's more to it than that.

This puppet is my favorite out of my whole collection.

-Sakura, get out of here while you still can.

Leave it to me, I'll handle this.

This is more than we bargained for.

There is nothing else you can do, not against that.

-But I--

-You're to slow.

Iron Sand, Scatter Showers!

-[gasp]

-No

-No

-[gasp] Hmph.

-[gasp] Hmph.

You've made some changes, I see.

And a chakra shield at that.

A definite upgrade since I last played with them.

[heavy breathing]

-Huh?

-CHIYO (VOICEOVER): As I feared, crippled by the Iron Sand.

--[chuckle] You have to do more than just block it.

You have to dodge this jutsu to survive.

Is that it?

Saving the girl is all you could manage?

The Iron Sand has crept into every crevice of the puppet.

As long as I have the Third's magnetic power,

That puppet is worthless.

Let's see, yes, I think it's time I attack both of you

at once.

Just to make sure you're really dead,

I'll use my most lethal form.

You won't get away this time.

One puppet, two people, can't protect both.

What do you say to that, you witch?

[chuckle] Which of you will die?

[theme music]

-[grunt] [gasps]

-[grunt] [gasps]

SASORI: Just enough, but still rigging your own body.

We puppet masters are all alike.

Our minds work the same, don't they?

[chuckle]

-Your face is exactly the same.

You haven't aged.

-Of course, now I understand.

-[gasp]

-Once the Iron Sand gets in, it's the end of the line.

The puppet's useless.

So granny, what now?

[flashback music]

[camera click]

-No, it can't be!

Curse you!

Curse you White Fang of the Leaf!

[laughter]

[grunt]

[crying]

-Hm?

-Huh?

-Now, now.

Come on, up you get.

[laughter]

CHIYO: Sasori?

-Huh?

Huh?

-Granny Chiyo, can we stop for a snack on the way back?

-You want a snack?

I don't see why not.

[door]

-Huh?

[gasp]

[laughter]

-Granny Chiyo.

-You like it, Sasori?

This puppet master jutsu is as old as our family.

What do you think, you want to begin learning how to do it?

-Really?

You can teach me how?

-Well now, come with me and you'll see.

This warehouse is where they all end up.

Every prototype and unfinished puppet

ever made in the Hidden Sand Village.

Sasori, everything in here is yours to use as you please.

I want you to try and build your own puppet.

-My-- my own puppet?

-[gasp]

-What?

That's--

-[gasp]

-[gasp]

[crash]

-Hmph.

Take away all of their puppets, and even the greatest masters

are nothing.

-How could I let it come to this?

How could I be so blind?

And now what will I do?

-[grunt]

-Sakura, you must get out of here now, hurry.

Sakura, why are you just standing there?

I told you before, there's nothing you can do.

Not against this.

You must leave it to me, now go.

Run!

SAKURA: (VOICEOVER): Run?

Run away and leave Lady Chiyo to face him alone?

No.

There must be something-- there has

to be something that even I can do.

Yes, there is something.

One thing.

SAKURA: Lady Chiyo, you can use me to fight him.

SAKURA: (VOICEOVER): Yes, that's it.

That's what I can do.

I can be her puppet.

But a puppet with a difference.

-My body's made of flesh and blood,

he can't stop me with that Iron San.

CHIYO: I have only one arm now.

I won't be able to support you like last time.

-I'll be alright.

It's true, I might not be rigged up

with a bunch of fancy weapons like some of these puppets,

but the unbending spirit of my teacher

has been drilled into me.

-Huh?

CHIYO (VOICEOVER): Lady Tsunade, eh?

Hm.

CHIYO: You're right, the Third Kazekage's

magnetic forces render puppets made of iron and steel useless.

-Exactly.

Like my teacher, I can fight with my bare hands.

-Not this again, you fool.

-[gasp]

-[scream]

-How dare you?

-That's just the beginning.

NARRATOR (VOICEOVER): Naruto Shippuden

gets more exciting with each episode.

LEE (VOICEOVER): In the next installment,

my beloved Sakura finds herself in deep trouble.

As Sasori, the evil puppet master--

[chime]

REPORTER (VOICEOVER): We interrupt this program

to bring you a breaking news bulletin.

A massive earthquake has been reported in the Land of Rivers,

causing the collapse of at least one cave.

Strong aftershocks are still being felt,

so caution is advised to all people in the area.

More later.

LEE (VOICEOVER): Hey, she cut us of in the middle

of our preview of the next episode.

NARRATOR (VOICEOVER): What nerve.

Take it from the top, Lee.

-Today's topic is medical ninjutsu.

So if your all ready, let's begin.

Medical ninjutsu consists of many different techniques,

each requiring specialized knowledge and precise chakra

control.

They are jutsu designed for treating poisoned wounds,

but there are also jutsu designed

for inflicting damage in combat, such as the chakra

scalpel, which attacks the opponent's nervous system.

The ultimate medical ninjutsu is Lady Tsunade's Mitotic

Regeneration jutsu.

Using this, almost any injury can

be healed by the rapid regeneration of cells,

but it requires a great deal of chakra,

and actually shortens the user's life.

-Now, here's a question.

Which of these is Lady Tsunade's assistant Shizune?

[beeps]

-The correct answer is, C. I know

I've got to keep training hard if I want to be a first class

medical ninja, like Shizune and my teacher.

Hiya!

Oops, sorry about that.
