As the other ninjas mobilized, Sasori was busy making more scrolls to create more slaves with. Deidara, Kakuzu, and Hidan were standing guard around him while Neji kept a long distance lookout using his Byakugan to help. Deidara, being the closest to Sasori, asked, "How many scrolls are you making Sasori-sama?"

Sasori, his concentration focused completely on the scrolls, said, "Only three. There's no point in overdoing it right now. This jutsu is a lot more draining than I had anticipated. I won't be of much help in a fight after this so it'll up to you three to protect me."

Deidara smiled and said, "What about the big guy, hmm? Personally I think he'll be of more help than those other two."

"Be glad they can't hear you say that." Sasori said, sealing the last scroll. "They'll be fighting all over again if they could."

Sasori stood up with all three scrolls, his breathing ragged. He tossed one to Deidara and said, "The Leaf Shinobi aren't going to take this situation lightly. I believe they'll come looking for us again. That's why you, Kakuzu, and Hidan are going to take these scrolls and use them to make three more giants. It can by any shinobi of your choosing. No matter who it is, they'll fall under my control. If worse comes to worse, try using the scroll on one of the smaller giants that Orochimaru created. Normally the two forces, Orochimaru's and my own, would clash and the jutsu would be useless. However, if some of the giants changed very little from Orochimaru, then my jutsu should override his and put them under my control."

Deidara sighed and said, "This is becoming more and more complicated as time goes on."

"Don't complain." Sasori said coldly. "Just hurry up and do your mission."

Deidara nodded and left, heading toward the Leaf Village. He started running through names in his head, wondering who to use the scroll on. "No kids." He thought. "They won't have enough skill to contend with the likes of Kakashi. And definitely not that Maito Guy person. He's way to annoying even if he's on our side. Hmm...Who should I choose?"

As Deidara headed toward the village, Sasori handed out the other scrolls to Kakuzu and Hidan with the same instructions as Deidara. After they both left Sasori sat on the ground, his body weak after using the Forbidden Jutsu so many times. Before he had time to take more than a few breaths, however, Neji said, "Someone's coming."

Sasori quickly said, "Then get ready to fight them. If you're overwhelmed, then escape immediately with me."

Neji nodded and crouched into a fighting stance. Luckily for them, it was nothing to worry about. Konohamaru came charging into the clearing at ten feet tall, small enough not to be seen, but big enough to move fast. He stopped in front of Sasori and said, "I managed to escape master."

Sasori frowned and said, "A kid eh? Better then nothing I suppose. Hyuga boy. When the other Leaf ninja arrive, fight them but don't worry about escaping. The boy will help me get away if things look grim."

Both boys nodded and started growing, Neji to a fighting size, and Konohamaru to an escaping size. Sasori recovered enough to throw out a few chakra strings and attach them to Konohamaru. The boy was going to be able to put up a fight only if Sasori controlled him. Neji would fair well on his own. Now there was nothing left to do, but wait.

Sakura, hidden from sight, was bound and gagged by Sasori. They were going to keep her as insurance in the coming fight. If need be, they'd use her as a human shield to escape. The other ninja wouldn't dare hurt a comrade.
