Sasori: Ah, Konan, my dear friend. *takes her hand and bows, kissing her fingers* You look lovelier every time I see you. You’re —

Konan: *pulls her hand away* Cut the crap, puppet. Where are those two men we sent you to bring back here as possible Akatsuki recruits? Nagato is getting impatient to meet them and assess their abilities!

Sasori: About that … would you like the truth, or would you like a decent-sounding lie?

Konan: … let’s go with a decent-sounding lie.

Sasori: Very well; the two were a bit hesitant, so I was forced to take alternate measures. They are currently in a holding area south of this base. They’re warm, safe, and I have a subordinate bring them food and water three times a day. They’ll simply remain there until they can be reconditioned to serve the Akatsuki.

Konan:

Konan, sighing: And what’s the truth?

Sasori: They both met an unfortunate end. I have one body on ice and another laying open on my operating table as we speak. I expect to turn one into a puppet, and I’m extracting the organs of the other for Kakuzu to sell on the black market. With my share of the profits I intend to upgrade my lab equipment, so that I have the space to work on more than one cadaver at a time.

Konan:

Sasori: So which do you prefer? Lies, or the truth?

Konan: I … prefer to never have an unsupervised conversation with you, ever again.
