So even Kankurou wasn’t immune to the idea of being the dashing hero.
He’d get the lookout with Kuroari easily enough but more importantly quietly. He’d pick off any outlying missing-nin with his other puppets, stealthy so they wouldn’t shout the word. The main attention would be in the main tent, so he’d send a clone in there. By the time they’d figured out the clone, he’d be behind them, where he’d been controlling the puppets from all along, and then he’d release his main arsenal.
Sakura would look up at him admiringly from where she was tied up. “You saved me.”
He wouldn’t have anything to say to that, he’d just flash her a charming, rugged smile that said All in a day’s work.
It was quiet, Kankurou decided, too quiet. An ambush? But he was already to the missing-nin’s camp and there was no sound, no movement, except…
“Oh, you came to get me? Thank you. I dealt with the missing-nin, don’t worry. Would you mention to the Kazekage when you next see him to send a hunter-nin team to deal with the bodies?”
As the blood- and guts-covered pink-haired woman strode off blithely, Kankurou thought, That is one distressing damsel.
