Art I

Art; The expression of oneself. Art calls upon insights we'd never think of under normal circumstances, holding several objects in one picture, or several pictures with one meaning. Art is Omnipotent. Art is Everlasting. Art is an Explosion. There are countless definitions of Art however, one that truly fully captures the concept, would be that of André Gide: Art begins with resistance; at the point where resistance is overcome. No human masterpiece has ever been created without great labor.



Art II

Sasori, one of the few Unique members of the Akatsuki, was avidly obsessed with the nature of Art. "True Art endures the ages... Everlasting beauty." -Sasori. A truly beautiful quote, as well mindset regarding the concept of Art itself. Sasori was no stranger to the Life of Art; creating several Masterpieces in his lifetime:

I. Haha to Chichi (Mother & Father)
II. Hiruko
III. Sandaime Kazekage
IIII. Hitokugutsu (Sasori making himself into a Puppet)

The various puppets Sasori created were all Everlasting. Why though? Why was his visualization of the concept "Art" the way it was?



Sasori's Burden

Q: Why were Sasori's ideals of the concept "Art", Everlasting Beauty?
A: Haha to Chichi (Mother & Father); Two of the very first puppets Sasori created.

The White Fang, Sakumo Hatake had taken Sasori's Father, and Mother during Shinobi World War II. Sasori left in the care of the Village, as well his Grandmother, Lady Chiyo. In desperation to help fill the void of Sasori's deceased parents, Lady Chiyo bestowed upon Sasori, the teachings of Puppetry. Sasori without the maternal love of his Mother, and the paternal love of his Father fell into an Everlasting-Loneliness.

Grieving for the love of a Mother, and Father Sasori through his new found ability created his first Artwork; filling the void known as loneliness with his first Artwork (Mother & Father). However.. Puppets are lifeless, empty shells with names. Warmth, Soulfulness, a Heart.. Those are what make us Humans, what make us alive; puppets couldn't fulfill Sasori's loneliness forever.

Several years later..

Sasori leaves Sunagakure, leaving Haha to Chichi in his forgotten past. The empty void called loneliness still engulfed Sasori. Still looking to escape his loneliness, Sasori created his favorite, and well-known puppet, Hiruko. Hiruko was Sasori's shell, to escape the world's cruel exterior.. This however, proved to have the same results as Haha to Chichi (Mother & Father)..

As the final attempt to rid himself of his loneliness, Sasori turned himself into that of which was empty, soulless, a shell of nothingness; a puppet. The loneliness which Sasori had tried to escape was there to stay, the emotions he still felt, the death of his Mother, and Father we're contained in the core of his puppet body.

His loneliness was Everlasting..



An Everlasting-Masterpiece

Sasori, in the midst of his battle with Lady Chiyo, and Sakura, had achieved his final, and greatest Masterpiece. Not only did Sasori create a Truly-Everlasting Masterpiece, he rid himself of the burden called Loneliness he once carried.
Q: How did Sasori rid his Burden, as well achieve the greatest Masterpiece?
A: Death.

You know that saying? Or perhaps I'm simply imagining this, but: "You love the very first.". This is true. The first thing you make you will always remember, you will always cherish, you will always have a place in your heart for.. Sasori's first love were his Mother, and Father.

Throughout his whole life, Sasori searched for a truly Everlasting-Beauty. And Everlasting-Beauty, midst battle he found. Witnessing his first loves once again before his very eyes, Sasori decisively ended his Life, involuntarily ending his Everlasting-Loneliness, and creating an Everlasting-Beauty. A Masterpiece, which will be remembered in History, forever.

I like how you put your name in the title.

Conceited much?

I've done it over my years on Narutobase. If it comes off as conceited then so be it. Let's stay on topic however. Haha.

I don't know if this counts as a poem or something? But I love it.

While I realized Sasori had a bit of a hard life; You've gotta word it so it seems like he's one of the worst victims of the Shinobi system?

I enjoyed the thread. It was nicely worded, and did give some poetic irony to Sasori.

That was a good read. I'm wondering if this was also Kishimoto's interpretation as well. Anyways, thanks for the read.

A lot of people don't understand the concept behind Sasori. Sasori is a tragic character who revolved around his ideal. Everything Sasori did signified how he felt about life and art itself. The only ironic thing about him is that he himself has no patience but defines art as a timeless beauty.

Sasori choosing his death was a work of art, most people don't look deeper than who he was killed by. Sasori chose his death because he finally gained the resolve to rid himself of his burden to making the perfect art. It's why Sasori kept making puppets despite being one himself. He felt that he hasn't found that perfection, that art that fit his definition more than anything. Besides the death that Kishi kinda ruined with Edo Tensei, his death was the closest thing to it. Glad you brought this up, I feel like Sasori doesn't get enough appreciation. Though he's not one of my favs, he's definitely well-written.

Oh and Gein, Proof has always done this. There was a time where other users started to copy him Lol it's been his thing since before he's made a name for himself around here.

Gravitating saddened feelings towards Sasori's character was an indirect goal, i didn't try to make him seem like the worst victim, more-so someone who was caught up in the never-ending blood shed.

Would you call it Poetic Justice?

Who knows? An episode came on Last Saturday regarding Sasori's death, and I just thought about it.

Their loss. It truly is a beautiful "wall of text".



Many say Sasori's death was "Plot" or "BS". I think it was one of the most beautiful deaths in Naruto.
It was the best Death a guy like him could have :)
Quite Touching the man who became a puppet showed his true nature at the end.
Itachi was right, a man knows who he really is the moment before he dies

Sasori was a kind person in nature, but due to the shitty ninja world he wanted to escape it and live in a self-built world, self-built heart/body that was eternal, that was Art to him. For those who died left him alone, and the only thing that remained beside him were emotionless, soulless puppets.

but in the end, he kinda discovered that he was a human afterall.

I like the butterfly I figured this was going to be emotional. You have opened my eyes about Sasori and I can honestly say I see past the whole "Plot" or "BS".

I as well do not fancy Sasori's character. But I do know when a great character is written, and this is one of those times. His character resembles so much, and people only realize so little. It's Art itself. Sasori is that one small picture you see in an Art Museum, that smart artwork, has many meanings. Truly beautiful.

That Itachi quote truly defines this topic. I couldn't have put it better in those few words if I tried. Itachi is truly the Messiah.

I read it and enjoyed it... wish you would have went into more detail when it comes to 3rd kazekage puppet, and his relationship with it.
