Porcelain [Sasori]

Puppet #7

Chiyo paced back and forth in the puppet lab. She didn't know what to think of the situation. Sasori had been right in his instinct to place a recording device in the puppet. What it recorded was gold.

So it's started sooner than I thought! The corner of Chiyo's lips curled downwards. She didn't like where this was heading. If they bugged Hana...that would mean that it has to be on her personage right now. Is it her forehead protector? Or is it on her clothing?

What exactly are they planning?

Sasori had taken the puppet from his grandmother and took out the tape recorder. He tinkered a little with the small toy.

"What are you doing, Sasori?" Chiyo questioned.

"Fixing it." There was a look of mischievousness in his eyes when he placed the puppet back next to Eirin.

Hana opened up the scroll that Chiyo had given her. It was a written document, one that shocked Hana. She opened and closed her mouth like a goldfish, but nothing came out. In the end, she just frowned and nodded, writing something in return.

"I will do my best, Chiyo-sama."

The older woman nodded her head and dismissed her old friend.

Hana went back home. She was alone, she knew, since it was the middle of the day. She began to cook a meal for herself as she searched her body, trying to find where the bug had been placed. She finally found it on the inside of her Jonin vest – and immediately went to the Sunagakure technology lab to get them to have a look at it.

"We'll let you know the results very soon."

"Thank you."

-

"What is this weird noise?"

"I don't know, my Lord."

The Lord sighed through his nostrils, "What is the security level in Sunagakure as of now?"

"The security there is high. I am guessing that the security level will lower after a few weeks if there is no action taken in that time frame."

"Very good. Hm...knowing her, she would have the security heightened even if there is no immediate danger. What a cautious woman."

"Should I eliminate her?"

"No...not yet. I have something planned for her."

"As you wish, my Lord."

-

"Well? What were the results?" Hana pressured. She had come down to the Sunagakure Lab after her shift guarding the border had ended.

One of the technicians held up the small device she had found on her body, "I have turned it off. It's a listening device. The machinery is quite advanced."

"Do you know who is trying to listen in?"

"I don't know who, but it is someone that lives far from here."

"...thank you." Hana took the device and went off to tell Chiyo.

-

Sasori sat on the roof outside of the Kazekage's tower. It was a nice spot to relax, but that wasn't the reason why he was there. He had overheard Hana and Chiyo, so he followed them silently to eavesdrop. He had heard (from Hana and the technician when he had passed by the lab after returning from a mission) that it was something related to the contents recorded on the recording device.
