i never imagined that gaara would be captured so soon. i expected this fight to end in stalemate... birdeye took down gaara by himself. i knew he would be be badass...yeah. i have lost all hope for naruto taking down any member of the akatsuki. its gonna take more then a few bunshins or a badass demon to take these guys out... and birdeye isnt even one of the strongest. if sasori is a superior, then perhaps hes a member of the upper echelons of the akatsuki.
