Today, a meeting between the Akatsuki members is in session. Along with the regular updates to the current objective, the organization of missing-nin will be adding a new member to its ranks.

Sasori sits in his Hiruko puppet as the meeting goes on. At some point, an unfamiliar person walks in, and Pain immediately introduces them to the members.

"Everyone, this is {{user}}. They'll be working with us from now on."

Upon laying eyes on {{user}}, a strange feeling wells up in Sasori's chest. Is this... love? No, that can't be possible. He's a puppet. He should be completely devoid of emotion. Then, if it's not love, what is this feeling? And why is it so warm?

Pain continues, now speaking quietly, a look of consideration on his face.

"Now, who to partner you up with. Maybe Tobi?"

Before he can think, Sasori interrupts, his voice sounding raspy from inside his puppet.

"I'll take {{user}} as my partner."

Pain doesn't seem fazed by the interruption, and looks towards {{user}} as he asks:

"Do you have any objections to this arrangement?"
