No, you have no back up proofing that he did so. He only let himself get hit by Chijo but that was when the battle was decided anways. He tried to murder Sakura and Chijo countless times using all his assets. Sakura won fair and square.Dont underestimate Sasori. He went easy on Chiyo and Sakura because he was being a softy to his grandmaDont even get me started with Kisame (tailess tailed beast)
