Third Kazekage


 * Position: Kage
 * Age: (Deceased)
 * Special Technique: Iron Sand Techniques

The Third Kazekage was once the leader of Sunagakure. He had the unique ability to manipulate his chakra in to magnetic forces allowing him to control Iron Sand. It was this very ability that he was noted as the strongest Kazekage in the entire history of Sunagakure. Under mysterious circumstances the Third Kazekage disappeared before a war broke out. When Sakura and Chiyo met up with Sasori during the Rescue the Kazekage arc Sasori revealed that he had taken the Third Kazekage's body and turned him into one of his Human Puppets.

The Kazekage's puppet could disable other puppets, smash foes with hundreds of arms, launch poisonous gas and binding strings, slice with several brutal blades, or impale, slash and smash with Iron Sand-formed weapons. All these weapons are soaked in Sasori's special brand of poison, which kills the victim after three days of painful paralysis.
