 * Name:
 * Type: S-rank, Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary, All ranges
 * User: Monzaemon Chikamatsu, Chiyo
 * Debut (Anime): Shippūden Episode 26
 * Debut (Manga): Chapter 272

These ten puppets were created by the inventor of the Puppet Technique: Monzaemon Chikamatsu. They later came into Chiyo's possession. To use the puppets, Chiyo releases them from their carrying scroll and controls each with a chakra string connected to one of her ten fingers. This ability to control ten puppets at once has earned Chiyo great fame.

Puppets
The puppets are apparently very powerful, as Chiyo claimed that she destroyed a castle with them and that she had sworn to never use them again. They were capable of countering Sasori's Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets, due in great part to their ability to work together. Donned in white coats, each of the puppets have different sets of skills and weapons. The puppets and their skills are listed below, numbered for ease of reference.


 * 1) This puppet somewhat resembles an "oni" (demon). Although it possesses no weapons, its striking power is immense. This puppet primarily uses its large fists as a means to fend off attackers. It is always kept closer to Chiyo in case of defense.
 * 2) This puppet is able to extend its arms to form a sort of cage where it can launch bombs from its mouth. Since the explosion is accurate and very small, it deals great amount of damage to enemies while not damaging the cage. This puppet is also proficient at taijutsu.
 * 3) This puppet has one eye and is capable of releasing an orb from its mouth used for the Sealing Technique: Lion Closing Roar.
 * 4) This puppet has spiky hair and holds the mark of Buddha in its mouth that activates Three Buddhist Treasures Vacuum Destruction technique when used in conjunction with Puppets 6 and 8. Three Buddhist Treasures Vacuum Destruction is a technique where Puppets 4, 6, and 8 form a pyramid with a small space at the center. Prior to activation, Chiyo and the three puppets form a seal that opens a powerful vacuum that sucks anything in front of the technique. However, the vacuum is prone to overloading, leaving the three puppets vulnerable.
 * 5) A red puppet that works together with Puppet #9. It is able to lift its face to reveal a spinning orb with four chakra blades. Since these blades are made of chakra and spin rapidly, even a scrape can prove deadly.
 * 6) This Puppet holds an "Acts" seal in its mouth and works with Puppets #4 and #8 to activate Three Buddhist Treasures Vacuum Destruction technique.
 * 7) This puppet resembles a girl with red hair and buns. It possesses two large swords capable of cleaving through enemies with ease, although the sheer magnitude of the weapons reduces the puppet's dexterity. Puppet #7 is the main attacker and can fend off even the strongest of enemies at an alarming rate.
 * 8) This Puppet holds the "Priest" seal and works in conjunction with puppets 4 and 6 to activate Three Buddhist Treasures Vacuum Destruction.
 * 9) A puppet with long black hair. Works in conjunction with puppet 5. Puppet #9 is able to extend its hand via chain link and connects with Puppet 5 to hurl it around and slice mid-ranged to close-ranged targets quickly and effectively. However, if #9 were to be destroyed, #5 would become vulnerable.
 * 10) A bald puppet with big holes in its skull. This puppet's hidden weapons are the long extending cords coiled in the skull that pierce numerous enemies at a time. Since the range is very long, it can pierce distant targets without even getting close. Also it is able to latch onto opponents with its cords and then crumble them slowly. Puppet #10 can also use its hands and legs to fight, but lacks physical power.

Puppet #9, Puppet #5, and Puppet #10 are the only ones to survive the battle with Sasori's hundred puppets.
