Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets


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

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. These one hundred puppets seemed to be specifically chosen among Sasori's collection, as they are adorned with red clothes, different from the usual black adorned on the other human puppets.

As even the most elite of puppeteers cannot control more than ten puppets (one per finger), this technique is a prove of Sasori's superiority in the Puppet Technique. Also, normally, a puppet's movement is 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.

Sasori claims that he brought down an entire country with this jutsu. Many of the puppets, however, are destroyed during Sasori's battle with Chiyo and Sakura Haruno, though they did manage to destroy some of Chiyo's puppets. While these one hundred puppets lack teamwork, they apparently use sheer attrition to wear down their opponents.
