* Sakumo Hatake was a legendary shinobi known as "White Fang of the Leaf" who died by suicide due to the mental burden of a past mission.
* Sasori was a member of the Akatsuki, a criminal organization, known for his puppet mastery. He became a puppet himself after losing his parents and a close friend.
Their lives and paths never intersected in the official Naruto storyline. It's possible that a filler episode or other non-canon material might have explored this idea, but it's not part of the official narrative.
