Third Kazekage

The was once the leader of Sunagakure. He had the unique ability to manipulate his chakra and convert it into magnetic forces, which makes all metallic weapons used against him unwise. After studying the host of Shukaku of the time, he recreated the Tailed Beast's sand-manipulating powers by combining his own magnetic chakra and iron powder, which produced the Iron Sand technique. It was for 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. Despite Sunagakure's best efforts, they were never able to find him. Eventually, the village was forced to give up on the search due to the war, and elected a new Kazekage instead. Over the years after the war, the village continued to search, but they had no luck.

When Sakura and Chiyo met up with Sasori during their attempt to rescue Gaara, Sasori revealed that he had murdered the Third Kazekage and converted his body into one of his Human Puppets. As the Third Kazekage was the hardest to kill, mainly due to his powerful Iron Sand abilities, he became Sasori's most favorite Human Puppet. After a long, drawn-out battle, Sakura managed to destroy the puppet.
