Bio

When Sasori was young, his parents were killed by Sakumo Hatake, leaving him with no one but his grandmother, Chiyo, to take care of him. To cheer up Sasori, Chiyo began to teach him the art of making puppets, and Sasori soon proved to be a born natural at the art. He began making puppets at the age of five, and even made puppets that resembled his parents to get rid of the terrible loneliness he felt. But because they were only puppets, incapable of giving him the natural parent love he desired, he lost interest in them. They later fell into Chiyo's possession.

Sasori, later infamously known as "Sasori of the Red Sand", created many ingenious puppets, including the ones now owned by Kankuro. Twenty years before his introduction in the series, he left Sunagakure, though not before secretly kidnapping and killing the Third Kazekage (although his involvement in the Third's disappearance would not be discovered until around the time of Sasori's death). More than that, Sasori eventually converted himself into a human puppet to maintain his youthful looks and increase his own offensive capabilities, but retained his heart - the only still-living part of his body - in a cylindrical container in the left part of his chest.

Sometime after leaving the village, Sasori joined Akatsuki and was eventually paired with Orochimaru. After Orochimaru left Akatsuki (for trying to steal fellow member, Itachi Uchiha's body and failing in it), Sasori was teamed up with Deidara, though he always carried a grudge against his former partner. He sent Kabuto Yakushi to spy on Orochimaru, but Orochimaru dispelled Sasori's jutsu and convinced Kabuto to join him. Sasori is also shown having numerous other underlings and spies in many nations, such as Yura and Mukade.

Hitokugutsu is a Ninjutsu technique used by puppet master Sasori. This technique allows Sasori to make a puppet which can contain and use chakra. Sasori does this by making a living human into a puppet. This puppet will maintain the same chakra its original body held when alive. If the original ninja was highly skilled, its puppet can retain these abilities as well. Even the ninja unique body traits will be passed on to its puppet form. Thus Sasori can still use all the original jutsu the ninja once utilized.

Akahigi • Hyakki no Souen is a Ninjutsu technique used by puppet master Sasori that is said to have brought down a whole country. The skill of a puppet master is said to be proportional to the number of puppets they can manipulate at one time. In his puppet form, Sasori has been able to greatly increase the number of chakra strings he can emit from his body at one time. A normal puppet master like Chiyo limits herself to ten strings and puppets, focusing on quality over quantity. For Sasori, this technique goes for the brute force approach, seeking to overwhelm his opponent.

To start the technique, Sasori will remove the summoning scroll from his back. Opening his right chest compartment, he will emit approximately a hundred chakra strings to reach into the scroll and control the puppets. These puppets are former opponents of Sasori's who he has made into hitokugutsu puppets. This allows the puppets to retain the skills and abilities they used in life. For that reason many of the puppets will retain the weapons they once used.

Kugutsu no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique that allows a ninja to use a puppet to attack from afar. Using their body's chakra, the ninja emits strings of chakra that run from their fingers to the puppet. The puppet itself can be loaded with many weapons and tools, allowing the puppet master to remain hidden while the puppet moves and attacks the target.

Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic Ninjutsu technique. The ninja will appear and disappear in an instant, allowing them to retreat or attack suddenly. To facilitate the movement the ninja will often use nearby elements such as mist, sand or leaves to mask their appearance or disappearance.


Sand Clone Technique
Rank: Unknown
Range: -
Type: Supplementary


Sasori creates a copy of himself out of sand, though it lacks color and is immediately recognizable as sand. This means that it is almost useless as a decoy. Unlike most bunshinjutsu, the clone still retains its shape after it's struck, and can even ensnare whatever comes into contact with it.

Name: Iron Sand

A special technique used by the Third Kazekage. The Third studied a host of the One-Tailed Shukaku and learned to imitate the power to control sand. However, when he imitated sand techniques, he used iron dust instead, thanks to his special magnetic powers. He could use it to crush his opponents or even mold the sand into weapons. The Iron Sand can also clot up the joints of puppets, making them unusable in battle as long as the Third Kazekage's magnetic field is in effect.

Satetsu Kesshuu is a Ninjutsu technique utilized by Sasori in conjunction with Sandaime Kazekage. Using the Sandaime Kazekage puppet's ability to manipulate Iron Sand, Sasori will draw together a mass of Iron Sand to form huge shapes. These shapes can extend to form gigantic piercing cones or heavy crushing blocks.

Satetsu Kaihou is a Ninjutsu technique utilized by Sasori in conjunction with Sandaime Kazekage. Using the Sandaime Kazekage puppet's ability to manipulate Iron Sand, Sasori would mix in his deadly poison to bolster the techniques lethality. Using a massive amount of iron sand, Sasori will cause a huge 3D lattice work of spikes to form, piercing most anything in its path.

If one gets scratched by the poisoned sand spikes, the individual's body goes numb almost instantly and stops moving. Within three days the individual will die unless an antidote is administered.

Satetsu Shigure is a Ninjutsu technique utilized by Sasori in conjunction with Sandaime Kazekage. Using the Sandaime Kazekage puppet's ability to manipulate Iron Sand, Sasori will form the sand into small piercing clumps which can rain down on his opponent. Because of the deadliness of the attack, a ninja must do all they can to avoid it, rather than make any attempt to block it.

Senju Soubu is a Ninjutsu technique used by puppet master Sasori. After summoning his Sandaime Kazekage puppet, Sasori will extend its multi-segmented arm. Each segment can expand to reveal a summoning seal, which summons a new arm. One arm is thus capable of summoning approximately six more arms, which can then summon even more arms. In total nearly one thousand arms will launch towards his opponent to overwhelm them. If he misses with a direct attack, the arms are also capable of releasing a poison mist.



These are the only known techniques, there are still a few more that Sasori has yet to reveal.

Hiruko
Name Meaning: Mythological Japanese god
Hidden Village: Sand Village
Master: Sasori
Type: Attack, Defense
Primary Weapons Large poisoning "tongue" tail, Fireable needle launching arm, Mouth needle launcher

Hiruko has been in Sasori's arsenal for many years, and he has made modifications to it over time. These include putting more armor on a weakspot on the back, and supplementing it with a "tongue" tail. The tip of the tail drips with a deadly poison which can kill any opponent who gets hit by it.

Sasori
Name Meaning: Scorpion
Hidden Village: Sand Village
Master: Sasori
Type: Attack, Defense
Primary Weapons Large poisoning stomach cable, Bladed shoulder blades, Flamethrower scroll, Waterjet scroll

Sasori used his hitokugutsu to transfer his consciousness into a chest casket. This casket was then implanted into a puppetized version of his body. This body retained all his original techniques and abilities and also allowed him to bolster new offensive measure like blades and flame throwers. Sasori can open a chest compartment on his upper right torso to extend a multitude of chakra strings. He can use these strings to manipulate approximately a hundred puppets.
