VerifiedThe way that Sakura outsmarted Sasori was amazing. The way that she used her expertise to find a remedy was very epic
remotadifa
VerifiedSasori using the 3rd Kazekage puppet against them, seems Sasori is much harder to defeat.
kofu_364
the third kazekage having those hidden blades in his joints is terrifying and sasori is way more dangerous than that hiruko shell made him look
mekurabe_mage
ebizo being so calm while naruto is losing his mind over gaara shows how much experience matters and the desert veteran really knows how to read the battlefield
levifangirl
I still cannot believe sasori actually killed the strongest kazekage and turned him into a weapon and that purple poison gas looked so dangerous for sakura and chiyo
zirconia_386
team guy fighting their own clones seems like such a tedious trap and neji using his rotation just to survive against himself proves how strong those duplicates are
jiraiya_jester_50
sakura bringing up sasuke while sasori is literally trying to kill her shows how much she still cares, and her resolve to get answers from the akatsuki is impressive
mamamu_yan
seeing sakura get used as a puppet by chiyo was a really cool tactic, but seeing her move like that was definitely a bit weird for a lead ninja
max_338
that reveal of the third kazekage was the darkest thing this show has done and seeing him turned into a wooden toy with his actual face is just nightmare fuel and sasori is a monster
atticus_358
the way sasori was just mocking chiyo for getting old while he looks like a teenager is so cold and he really has no soul left and his red hair is cool
gerrard_gambit_489
my brain actually stopped when sasori took that hood off because he looks way too young and he is actually kind of pretty and it makes the whole human puppet thing even more unsettling
dark_beast_ganon
Sasori talking about his eternal art while looking like a kid is super creepy and it makes the whole situation in that cavern feel way more dangerous than before
gobta_goblin_154
Hearing about how the Sand Village searched for years for their leader only for him to show up as a wooden toy with poison gas is such a gut punch
tuxedo_mask_393
The way Deidara is just baiting Naruto by sitting on Gaara's body is enough to make anyone mad, and you can see Naruto is just about to lose it.

Chiyo using Sakura as a human puppet is such a cool move and I loved how they looked so synchronized dodging those poison needles in the cavern
pamela
Team Guy is out here fighting their own clones and it feels like a total stalemate but watching Neji use his rotation against himself is a pretty smart way to handle that trap
ein
I honestly cannot believe Sasori killed the Third Kazekage and turned him into a puppet because that is so dark for this show, but it makes him such a scary villain. Seeing him look like a teenager after twenty years is such a weird contrast to how cold he is and I really felt for Chiyo when she saw his face.
sora
You can really tell Sakura has been training under Tsunade because that punch she used to shatter Hiruko was absolutely insane and she is not playing around anymore
hau
Seeing the Third Kazekage show up as a literal weapon made from his own body is actually terrifying and explains why the Sand Village was a mess for so long
kuchisake_onna_52
I really thought Sasori was going to be some old wrinkly guy and then he pulls off the hood and he looks like a beautiful version of Gaara with less eyeliner
EPISODE CONTEXT
Episode 21 is deep into the Kazekage Rescue arc, directly continuing the high-stakes battle initiated in 'Hiruko vs. Two Kunoichi!' where Sakura and Chiyo engaged Sasori. This episode escalates that confrontation by peeling back critical layers of Sasori's character and combat style, serving as a bridge to the next chapter, 'Chiyo's Secret Skills,' where the fight evolves further with new strategic wrinkles.
