The older woman asked, laughing, "What makes you think that you are capable of such a thing?"<br/><br/>The older woman smiled, standing up as her fingers remained completely locked in the same position. Nearly a mile away, the puppet continued to hold Kaname at Kunai-point. "Konoha for aid?" The beautiful puppet asked, shaking her head.<br/><br/>Mari, on her side, could see the Puppet Master mouthing the same words.<br/><br/>"You don't need to know what she is to me. You don't need to know anything." The woman said, "But<em>I</em>need something from you..."<br/><br/>Chiyo turned her eyes towards Mari, "You cannot be seriously asking me to give up my hostage for nothing in return? No... how about you, then?" She reached under her poncho and drew a kunai slowly from her holster, even as her other hand remained stationary, "I hold your friend's life in this hand here... Your eyes might have seen through the trick, but I assure you it has changed nothing."<br/><br/>"As there are only two of us." Both Chiyo and her puppet said, "I require only two of you."<br/><br/>"So surrender." The woman said to Mari, "And this may yet be resolved without bloodshed."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">The puppet does not seem to have noticed Tashi's deceptions.</div></div>
