In his hiding spot, Sasori was making more growth scrolls in the hope to strengthen his small amount of forces. He was hoping to have at least four giants on his side to take on the giants in the Leaf Village. Unfortunately, there were many giants on the side of the Leaf Village. Luckily, a chunk of them were only about ten to twenty feet tall. Sasori was hopping to create a smaller group of bigger giants.

"Let them have their pawns." He thought to himself. "I'll give them queens."

Konohamaru was keeping a lookout for Sasori in case they were attacked by the Leaf shinobi again. Suddenly, the ground vibrated under his feet. Looking around Konohamaru was surprised to see a giant coming straight toward them at high speed! He crouched down and said, "Master! A giant is coming this way."

Sasori put another growth scroll on the pile and said, "Show me."

Konohamaru lifted Sasori into the air and pointed toward the incoming giant. Sasori smiled and said, "I recognize him. He's not from the Leaf Village at least."

Konohamaru prepared for the coming giant ready in case he was going to attack. The giant, however, was not looking for a fight which was probably good for Konohamaru since he was at least forty feet taller than him. As he stopped in front of Sasori he said, "I've arrived Master Sasori."

Sasori nodded and said, "Very well. You're the Puppet Master from the Sand Village aren't you?:"

Kankuro nodded and said, "What are your orders?"

Sasori thought about it and said, "For now, keep watch with the boy. I have a few more scrolls to make in preparation for our attack on the Leaf Village. Judging by your size I'm assuming Deidara and the others used all three scrolls on you. If you two are my only puppets, I'm going to need you big enough to be of good use."

Konohamaru put Sasori down and Sasori went back to work making the scrolls. As Sasori prepared to strengthen his forces, Gaara, Temari, and their sensei were arriving at the Leaf Village. Kakashi was there waiting for them. "Good. You made it."

Temari nodded and said, "Has Kankuro been spotted yet?"

Kakashi shook his head and said, "We believe he's joined Sasori. We're getting ready to mount an attack on him once we get a team together. The Hokage left choosing the team up to me."

Temari stepped forward and said, "Then let me be part of that team! It's my brother out there after all!"

Kakashi shook his head and said, "I can't. The giants have too much power for an ordinary ninja to fight. Their size gives them greater power and greater defense. Normal ninjutsu will have little to no effect. Even the stronger attacks don't do more than ordinary close quarters attacks. I will need Gaara though since he's one of the larger giants."

Gaara nodded and said, "I expected that."

"Then come on." Kakashi said. "We're going to get the others for the team. You two go to the hospital. The Hokage entrusted Shizune with giving out separate missions relating to backup for whatever may come."

Temari and her sensei headed toward the hospital while Gaara and Kakashi started looking through the village for suitable candidates to add to their team to head for an attack on Sasori.
