Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets


 * Name:
 * Type: Ninjutsu, S-rank, Offensive, Defensive, All ranges
 * User: Sasori
 * Debut (Anime): Shippūden Episode 26

A puppeteer's power is said to be measured by the number of puppets he can handle. A master puppeteer can control one puppet per finger, making ten the maximum. This technique, however, defies that rule with the manipulation of one hundred puppets. A puppet's movement is also dependent on the will of the user, and as such will have a time lag. However, since these hundred puppets are directly connected to the core, there is no time lag between Sasori's will and the puppets' movements.

To start this jutsu, Sasori removes one summoning scroll from his back. He then opens his right chest compartment to emit one hundred chakra strings, which reach into the scrolls. From the scrolls, one hundred human puppets emerge, each one a defeated and converted opponent of Sasori. Sasori claims that he brought down an entire country with this jutsu. When in battle against his grandmother, Chiyo, and Sakura, many of these puppets were destroyed, however many had managed to destroy some of the puppets Chiyo used. While these one hundred puppets lack teamwork, they apparently use sheer attrition to wear down their opponents.
