Four Symbols Puppet Shinobi

Akatsuki members are given a special human-shaped seal created by Nagato that take a physical form known as a Four Symbols Puppet Shinobi, to fight or stall the enemy. The Puppet Shinobi goes to a faraway location to create numerous copies of itself. The only way to break the technique is to stop the Puppet Shinobi source.

Trivia

 * The word "gūnin" (偶忍) is a play on the word "gūjin" (偶人), which can be translated as either "doll" or "puppet".
