Description: Sasori has led a very tragic life. At the age of six, his parents left home to go on an important mission, leaving him in the care of his Grandmother, Chiyo. Sasori eagerly awaited the return of his family, but they never returned. As years passed, he realized that they weren't coming back at all. Therefore, he grew up watching his friends spending time with their parents while he resided alone in his room. Heartbroken and desperate, Sasori sculpted puppets of his mother and father. He spent the rest of his young life loving these hand-made parents in order to escape loneliness.
After an existence of confusion and sorrow, Sasori became a twisted young man. Using his jutsu, he transformed himself into a puppet to escape the effects of age, and joined the Akatsuki. There, he met Deidara, the only person he'd even consider a companion. The two constantly bicker about whose art is better, and--secretly--care deeply about one another. Though they won't admit it, they each enjoy the other's presence.
