Episode Title:
Sai and Shin.
Episode Description:
Sasori gloats to have finally gained his ideal immortal body before the battle between the two divisions resumes, Shin revealed to have Deidara's explosion clay inside him as he is manipulated by Sasori to attack. Though Kankuro sacrifices Salamander to encase Shin and contain the blast, Shin's body reconstitutes with Deidara gloating to continuous use him as a bomb. Deidara's remark enrages Sai as he knocks him and Sasori out of the air and into Kankuro's awaiting puppets, with Omoi using his lightning style to defuse Deidara's clay. Though Sai expected to fight Shin, his brother instead departs for the afterlife as seeing the finished drawing of both him and Sai holding hands broke the Reanimation jutsu's hold on him. Sasori also departed after being moved by Kankuro's speech of how he obtained immortality through the puppets he created, entrusting the younger ninja with his Mother and Father puppets so they can be passed them down to the next generation. As Kabuto senses the lost of Sasori and Shin, Tobi begins to suspect Kabuto is playing him and the Allied Shinobi against each other.
