Human Puppet

A technique developed by Sasori, this allows him to create puppets from human corpses. As Sasori was the only person to know how to create human puppets, this technique became lost when he died. Sasori developed this during his time in Sunagakure.

By removing the internal organs of a foe and preserving the body to prevent decomposition, as well as adding weapons and defenses, Sasori can make powerful human puppets. These puppets are different from normal ones, as they retain their use of chakra and any kekkei genkai that the human host once had.

Sasori stated he had 298 human puppets in his personal collection. He uses one hundred of his best human puppets as part of his Hundred Puppet Army.
