who0o glad Gaara is alive, chiyo is dead and two new faces are shown themselves. Exciting once again. Yanno, I actually have a funny feeling that the spiral faces guy is Sasori. I think Sasori controlled the puppet from the ring! I mean, why would u take a ring? Perhaps the scroll that was powering the puppet was like the battery while the ring was the controller. Zetsu goes back to recieve it for him.

I'm just making theories here so don't take it seriously but it would be cool if it was true tho.

EDIT: after reading the translation I guess I'm wrong, lol. Guess you need the ring to be a member.
