Title: Sasori appears!
Sidebar: Violent anger releases the wild spirit! The young man awakens a beast to protect someone important.

Text: Sakura's blow crushes Hiruko! But what lies inside...?
Page 3:
Sakura: That's his real body?
Sasori: Heh...only you, grandma...
YOU parrying my traps is one thing, but for that kid...
Page 4:
Sasori: Once you saw through my attacks, you used chakra strings to manipulate her movements, eh...
Sakura: He noticed...
Sasori: You even stopped Hiruko's tail from striking...
That was when I first noticed...
Page 5:
Sasori: The kunai, right? You stuck threads on them, and when I blocked with the tail, you moved them.
Chiyobaa: Hoo...even though I kept the strings invisible by using as little chakra as possible, you got me.
Sasori: Yeah, well...the one who got me started playing with puppets
was you.
Chiyobaa: Why don't we quit playing around.

Someone: How long are we going to wait for Gaara to return?
We absolutely can NOT let the rest of the Great 5 Countries know that the Kazekage was captured in what amounted to an ambush on the field!
Beardo: Plus, didn't you say that one of the enemies is Sasori of the Red Sands??
We'll be disgraced!
Page 7:
Baki: There is still a chance Gaara will return! (Lit: It's not yet definite that he won't return! (Crazy double negatives...))
Magoo: But...if he didn't return...
it would be better for the village...
Baki: What are you trying to say?
Magoo: Gaara is an unstable monster with the "One tail" living inside him.
When he was named Kazekage, it was because we thought he had it under control...
But eventually, he might go crazy again. He'll return to being a burden on the village.
Page 8:
Magoo: Originally, we believed that he would live in harmony with Shukaku, but he ended up being nothing more than an unstable experiment.
Though the attempts failed, even his own father, the Fourth, called for him to be assasinated.
His young associates know nothing. While there are people who respect Gaara...
...Most of the village is simply afraid. The truth is, there is no hope for him.
Page 9:
Magoo: Wh-
Kankurou: If I hear one more stupid thing come out of your mouth...
You'll pay for it, elder or not!
Baki: Don't you dare, Kankurou! You're standing before the statues of the past Kazekages! This is holy ground!
Page 10:
Slappy: Kankurou. I understand that you're angry, but his words have logic to them. But right now, whether or not to have faith in Gaara (or, "have faith Gaara will return") isn't the problem.
Kankurou: Pfft.
Magoo: Ghack...
Slappy: Something just like this happend once, long ago...The Third Kazekage was kidnapped by an unknown enemy.
We searched for his wherabouts...eventually we were reduced to guessing. War came, and the countries grew hostile.
In order to bring peace to the village, we had to give up the search. (a bit sketchy)
Kankurou: But why?
Page 11:
Slappy: The Third was the strongest person in the history of our village...but we never even found his body.
Such a powerful man....
Could not have been defeately that easily.
That's what we all though.
At any rate, we need to be thinking about the village right now.

Naruto: We aren't gonna give Gaara up, no matter what!
Deidara: You're a weird Jinchuuriki, you know that? I'd heard all of you were depressed and hated other people...mmm.
This "Gaara" kid is also a rare one...I never thought a Jinchuuriki would go so far for the sake of others.
Deidara: If we don't include him, there have been two Jinchuuriki that my partners have defeated. Though I don't think a single one of their friends or fellow villagers even tried to save them...mmm.
Page 15:
Deidara: Actually, I bet there were a lot of people who were happy! Hahaha!
You, you pathetic, neglected boy...weren't you left alone?
Gaara died because we ripped the "One-tail" out of him. And you're next!
Naruto: ...I am going to kill all of you.

Sasori: Do you think I'll be beaten so easily, Chiyobaa-sama?
Page 17:
Sakura: Chiyobaa-sama...is he really Sasori?
Chiyobaa: What on earth...
He...he hasn't aged a day.
Sasori: I've got you right where I want you.
When it's time to kill, I always have a hard time picking from my collection, but...
Page 18:
Sasori: This is my favorite.
Chiyobaa: That's...you're kidding me...
Sakura: What's wrong??
Page 19:
Chiyobaa: That's...the Third Kazekage...
Sasori: Hmph. Let's do this.
